Big Mom's devil fruit power is interesting and terrifying, yet I was disappointed by it because I do not believe that she will use that technique on Luffy which makes it kinda useless and not that impotent, but I still believe in Oda and hopes that he will prove me wrong!
Chapter 829: The Yonkou, Charlotte Linlin the Pirate
-
-
FINALLY! This chapter took eternity to come out! I seem to recall another chapter recently did too…jeez it's difficult to wait so long to get my One Piece Fix! Alright, let's check it out.
So people whom were saying she was calm of Big Mom's wrath in the earlier part in the story "due to the fact she's Big Mom's daughter and wouldn't harm family" has just been thrown out the window! Now we see this side to her...frankly I hate it. It's not funny but I guess it's not meant to be. It's to set all aside and show that Big Mom is genuinely a crewl, evil person. To blame her bad behavior on hunger like that shows sign of a truly selfish person. (Though I guess it exists in real life. My wife is the only person I've ever met in real life to get crabby when she's hungry and since she swears there are other people who do too, though I've never met them.)
Jinbei saving the day was quite surprising, though. Now Jinbei has to announce his intention to join the Strawhats..this could get ugly. I wonder if he'll outright say it, or be more clever about it and try a plan to sneak his way around it. hmm
-
the hat spoke to her actually. maybe she will upgrade luffy's straw hat to become selfaware
Straw hat for next nakama… Whoop whoop

- Why is Lucci making his debut post-timeskip in a movie?
- When I read the "I'm not gonna mess up this time, I swear" note, I felt sorry for the translator. Then I realized what it meant.
- I hate myself for this, but I feel like Oda may be pointing to something with the "lookout" post being focused on every now and then. I'm not saying either Pedro or Carrot will join, but I think he wants us to feel like that may happen-je t'aime
- I love Tamago.
- A. DWARF. TOP. OFFICER!!!
My heart goes doki doki
- I still say red herring. I doubt BM will really be that furious if Jinbe leaves. The fact Lola gave Luffy the vivre card and expected it to be enough for him to get her mother's help suggest her departure was not traumatic. She left in good terms with her mother/BM.
lola is looking for someone to marry which even though she is not going to marry someone big mom wants she is still looking to marry someone plus getting stronger so she will be more useful to big mom she is still part of the big mom pirates since big mom thinks she will come back when she marry's someone unlike jinbe who wants to join her enemy's crew.
-
The last page makes it clear that Jimbe can't just quit Big mom.
So either luffy has to make a deal with her( but what deal can you make with someone that kills her own son? even if lola is her daughter how much can she do?) and there is also the gift bomb.
It kinda looks like luffy will have to beat Big mom this arc. She doesn't seem like the person that you can make deals with, Jimbe can't leave if she is not defeated. Even if they somehow escape, he knows she will take her revenge on fishman island.

Why did you quote him again?

Here you go
. I threw in the commas and full stops.
"Lola is looking for someone to marry, and even though she is not going to marry someone Big Mom wants, is still looking to marry that someone. Plus, getting stronger so she will be more useful to Big Mom. She is still part of the Big Mom Pirates since Big Mom thinks she will come back when she marries someone, unlike Jinbe, who wants to join her enemy's crew.

Man, she just iced her son. And those sentient cream puffs don't look like they are coming back. Also, given that she extracted his "life force" I have doubts he's going to be brought back given that his soul should have departed his body by now. Of course, that's assuming he's actually dead and doesn't wake up later on, revealing he still has a sliver of life span.
Some have said that Luffy will be immune, but I have a hunch that Brook may be the one immune to her power, given that he appears to have no set lifespan as a reanimated corpse. That or he could manipulate his own life force to return to him.
Hard to say exactly what her power is at this point. The whole life force extraction could be a byproduct of a different power, similar to Kuma "extracting" Luffy's pain. Also it is not shown what happens to it after it is extracted. Presumably it dissolved into nothing, but perhaps she absorbed it. Which could explain why she has had so many children in her lifetime–she's hundreds of years old by taking in the life force of others.
-
If Kaido wants to taste death so bad, why doesn't he just go find BM and let her suck all the life outta him? (No pun intended)
-
Super psyched to have Jinbe back in the story, oh my lord. I've been waiting for him to show up since the arc started. Interesting that he gave the Poneglyph to Big Mom. I guess they're gonna make two copies, one for each Poneglyph? That or somebody's gonna mess it and copy the Poneglyph Jinbe brought and not the Road Poneglyph.
@.access:
- Why is Lucci making his debut post-timeskip in a movie?
I mean, it doesn't really matter in the context of the manga. The movie's not gonna be canon. Plus, he made a little cameo in Dressrosa. Other characters like Coby, Kizaru, and Sakazuki all had their post-timeskip debuts in Film Z, so it's not like stuff like this hasn't already happened before.
-
Slower chapter, but acceptable to have bridge chapters instead of long story arcs now and then.
Just the usual little things to pick on -
And probs, her son isn't dead. Maybe she took 40 years of his life (ahead) away. And he has fewer days/years to live now.
Something like; Bonney's power with a Best Before date stamp
-
Damn it, people, I know Lucci appeared in Dressrosa. I was talking about making a proper debut, since back then he was only teased, not properly presented. Stop stating the obvious.
Other characters like Coby, Kizaru, and Sakazuki all had their post-timeskip debuts in Film Z, so it's not like stuff like this hasn't already happened before.
Yeah, I suppose you are right. I was afraid this would mean he was brought back so he could be used in the movie instead of being properly used later in the manga, but those cases show it's not necessarily like that.
-
And probs, her son isn't dead. Maybe she took 40 years of his life (ahead) away. And he has fewer days/years to live now.
She is not a Shinigami you know.
-
Or maybe Big Mom will go "what happened to my son? Ah whatever, let me restore his life span"
"Whatever, I'll just have another kid."
-
Big Mom hat has quite a horrified look on it's face. lol
-
"Whatever, I'll just have another kid."
That has me thinking, this is a long shot but what if Big Mom is possibly pregnant again? Her "eating disorder" reminds me of the wild cravings of a pregnant woman. It would make trying to defeat her more interesting.
-
So I assume BM has the Life Life Fruit. Robbing lifespan, giving life to inanimate objects, it fits the "mother" theme and could even be related to she having all those kids.
-

Yea that has been mentioned before and seems like a good explanation.
Every wedding she has a child to keep the family going…maybe she can add Life to her newborn? by making them adults right from the start?
-
What if Big Mom is an experiment that went wrong and she ended up huge like the kids in punk Hazard? They had an eating disorder too, or a craving for something because they were addicted to it. It's weird that Caesar is tied to this maybe he's the only one who can cure her madness but the fact that he needs "time" and BM doesn't give people time is what made him flee with the money she gave him. It does appear that she can take life out of things and insert them into inanimate objects. Probably why the whole country is so animated.
One thing's for sure, she's cray cray.
-
Guys has anyone mentioned that her Cravings are actually because she's a pregnant woman? Pregnant women are known for having very specific cravings when pregnant, and for having big mood swings if said cravings aren't satisfied. Oda is probably just playing further into the 'Mom' theme by upping her 'pregnant woman cravings' to the n'th degree
-
Doubt it and eating disorder is a illness without being pregnant after all
-
Big Mom adding years to her new born to instantly make them adults and getting them married off would be pretty cool lol
-
Doubt it and eating disorder is a illness without being pregnant after all
But craving a very specific food is characteristic of pregnant women, is it not? Considering she's had 80+ kids, seems reasonable that she's be always pregnant. So her eating disorder might just be pregnancy cravings.
-
I always craving for beer… And I can't be pregnant.
I doubt that she will be pregnant now in this arc and Oda may let us see Luffy fighting a pregnant woman
-
I agree with those who said that Big Mom's size and blind rage when she's craving for sweets are very similar to the children from Punk Hazard.
-
Who do you think is scarier, Kaido or Big Mom?
-
MR 2 is the key to this argument line. He will deal with Big Mom dealing her a great defeat thanks to his improved okama kempo!
-
So how about she uses the power on luffy, realising he has not much lifetime left becouse of his powerup at impeldown and the war through iva + his use of his gears (not sure if gear2 also took away a bit of his life span or so), and instead gives him more lifetime?

This post is deleted!

Neat cover with the Straw Hats as frogs, too bad Luffy wasn't one too.
Always nice to see Nami flex her navigator muscles, she avoided getting the ship spotted by those tracker sea slugs, and suddenly they have the element of surprise again.
If I wasn't already sold on Linlin as a character, having her go on a city smashing rampage would've sealed the deal, what a delightful formal introduction. It's really telling how strong her influence is, the general populous are not only familiar with her lashing out, they're willing to put up with it. It's interesting, after Jimbe stops her the citizens don't appear to be upset, grateful to Jimbe and relived their lives are no longer in jeopardy sure, but nobody appears to hold ill will towards Big Mom. Strange.
I really like how her power seems to deal directly with life, being a mother herself it's fitting in a creepy way, having the first person we see fall victim to it be her own son was a great touch too, it carries the whole motif from last chapter with all that we learned about the Charlotte bloodline, and shows how well founded Pudding's fear of her mother is.
Jimbe stopped Big Mom like it was his day job lol. I look forward to more interaction between them.
Hopefully this Jinbe episode continues so we get to see whether Big Mom really is a monster or if there's a more sensible side to her.
Why can't we have both?
-
I didn't have high expectations on Big Moms design, but she's possibly become one of my favorite characters design-wise. I like how she and Kaido stand out so much yet are completely badass.
Loving Totland so far.
-
I love Muscat´s design. Reminds me of Manolo from TBOL
-
Have we seen Charlotte written in English yet? The "SM" on Muscat's belt makes me think Oda spells it Sharlotte…

We did. This week. In this exact chapter.

This chapter was quite disturbing for me…

I wonder why Pedro seemed hesitant to reveal that he had been to Totland before.

I wonder if next chapter will continue right from this conversation or will we get a random panel at the end of another chapter of Jinbe souless and/or imprisoned somewhere? I just want to hear what Jinbe's plan is. Not to mention what it's called. Leave the Big Mom's but allow his crew to stay with her or leave the Big Mom's and just tell his crew to go live on Fishman Island? You think any of his mates like Alladin or Popeye Quadruple Anchor Arms even have a about that would keep them from residing on Fishman Island comfortably? I feel like as long as Jinbe isn't there then any of his crew who only want to live a life peace could easily just stay out of the public eye when marines or government officials come around. I'm sure the local government run by the Neptunes would be happy to have them back. I think.
-
I am honestly scared of Big Mom, and what she could do to the crew. I do think that it's going to be inevitable that Luffy is going to have to fight her. I mean it's bad enough to hurt your own crew, but your own family members would piss him off very much.
-
But craving a very specific food is characteristic of pregnant women, is it not? Considering she's had 80+ kids, seems reasonable that she's be always pregnant. So her eating disorder might just be pregnancy cravings.
That's a good point. It's very possible, in my opinion.
-
So a lot of people seem to think a part of Big Mom's "eating disorder" is her pregnancy cravings, which seems reasonable. I did not bother reading all ten pages of the thread, so forgive me if this has been said, but perhaps her "life-stealing" ability is what makes her pregnant or has something to do with it. If that were the case, her cravings would cause pregnancy rather than result from it, not to mention it would explain the absurd amount of children she has managed to produce.
-

http://i.imgur.com/NCPfJbb.pngThat is awesome, thank you for reminding me.
So, to those who say the illness is a pregnancy, why does Big Moms minions call this an illness and not a pregnancy?
-
apologies if this has already been asked but what the fuck is going on in this arc?

Jinbe about to be turned into fried battered fish next few chapters .

So she is Asexual then.

Big Mum ala morning sickness

I dunno, I think having pregnancy cravings connected to her rampaging is too out there….

So, Luffy is as bad as Big Mom because he eats his own crew:ninja:

Yes. This ark will not involve a massive battle at the end of it, but rather a massive eating contest between Luffy and Big Mam. Their pride as the biggest eaters of the New World is at stake, their crews are on the line. Bring it on.
Blackbeard may also show up at some point, to claim his place as the biggest pie eater in the NW, upsetting Big Mam and Luffy's contest and forcing them to fight together.
Fittingly, Sanji and Pudding will be the chefs for the contest, cementing them as the biggest ship One Piece has had to date.
