Introduction
Charlotte Linlin, better known as "Big Mom", is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and was formerly one of the Four Emperors ruling over the New World, as the only female member of that group. She is the matriarch of the very large Charlotte Family, whose many children make up the infrastructure of her crew. She is also the creator of the unique race of creatures known as Homies, who mainly inhabit all of Totto Land, and happily serve her. Big Mom possesses three special homies, Napoleon, Prometheus, and Zeus, but unhappy with Zeus' continued failures, Big Mom decided to disown and replace him with a new Homie named Hera. Big Mom rules over Totto Land as its queen, seeking to form it into a utopia where all the world's races can live together in peace without discrimination or segregation. In her childhood, Linlin was raised on Elbaph, in the Sheep's House, under Carmel, whose Devil Fruit power she eventually inherited, before co-founding her own pirate crew with Streusen following Carmel's death. Big Mom was also part of the legendary Rocks Pirates as one of its core members. After clashing against fellow Emperor Kaidou (another ex-member of Rocks' crew), she formed an alliance with Kaidou and the Beasts Pirates with the intention of conquering the world and claiming the One Piece. However, this never came to fruition as their alliance would go on to be defeated by the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. Following her loss in Wano Country to Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law, the World Economy News Paper released a new listing of the Four Emperors, with Big Mom no longer being included among them anymore. In Wano, due to being closed off, Linlin's reputation was largely unknown, especially with the more immediate threat, Kaidou, occupying the country. However, after the Raid on Onigashima, due to her monstrous power and ability to spawn "yōkai" from myth, she was accredited in their country's folklore of the event as the "Great Yōkai Oiran" ("妖怪" 大花魁, "Yōkai" Ō-oiran?, VIZ: "Great Ghastly Oiran"). Big Mom was the last of the Four Emperors to be named; her epithet was first revealed after the Summit War of Marineford by Eustass Kid and her real name was revealed by Pappag on Fish-Man Island. Since the timeskip, she is a minor antagonist during the Fish-Man Island Arc, the main antagonist of the Whole Cake Island Arc and the Whole Cake Island Saga as a whole, and the secondary antagonist of the second half of the Wano Country Arc and Wano Country Saga as a whole.Charlotte Linlin, better known as "Big Mom", is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and was formerly one of the Four Emperors ruling over the New World, as the only female member of that group.

Appearance
Summary
Big Mom is a huge, obese woman with a large chin and large, hooked nose. She has an enormous physique, standing at 880 centimeters or just shy of 28 feet tall, which is the largest known height for any human. She is taller than the extremely large Whitebeard and was able to hold the 277 cm tall Brook in her hand. Even as a five-year old child, Linlin was already massive to the point she was mistaken for a giant and was as tall as giant children. However, as an adult, she is a little over three meters short of the minimum giant height of 12 meters. She has moderately round, orange eyes, prominent eyelashes, and wears thick purple eyeshadow. She has a very wide mouth with full lips sporting red lipstick, large, round teeth, and a long, thick tongue that often sticks out. She also has long, curly, and wild pink hair that falls halfway down her back, as well as a long beak-like nose, and plump, round cheeks. She also sports a tattoo on her left shoulder and arm, consisting of a large, standard-shaped red heart framed by thin lines curled at their bottom ends, which all tops a far smaller heart. When she was five years old, Linlin towered over normal humans and was about the same size as a giant child. She had a much rounder face and had freckles on her cheeks, her hair was kept into two buns on both sides of her head. Her nose was more triangular compared to present-day where it now protrudes outward in a rounded, beak-like shape. She wore a polka-dotted dress very similar to the one she currently wears, but with this one reaching her neck and having a bow at the top. At the start of her pirating career, Linlin's hair grew longer, and she donned a dark sunhat. At 28 years old, Linlin looked drastically different compared to both her early childhood days and her later years. She was remarkably slimmer and had a visible neck, chin, and jawline, and her features were significantly smaller and more proportionate to her face. Her hair was long, yet considerably less wild than in the present day, and she had a large strand of hair falling to the left side of her face. In Oda's depiction of her at this time, she wore a dark fedora with a polka dot pattern, a bandana, and a dark, polka dotted top with a captain's coat draped over her shoulders. She had a similar appearance (although shadowed) during her time in the Rocks Pirates. At 48 years old, her neck was considerably larger and more muscular than it was at 28 and she had a much larger, more pronounced jaw. By this time, she had already begun wearing Napoleon and her polka-dotted bandana. Five years ago, at age 63, her physique has become very much similar to currently at age 68, and she wore a purple and pink vertical stripped dress. During her first appearance, Big Mom was shown to often drool large quantities of saliva when talking. When in her regular fits of rage from not having a certain food at her direct disposal or simply when extremely furious her pupils take on a spiral appearance. Big Mom wears a large pink bicorne hat bearing a Jolly Roger on the front. She has worn two versions: the first design consisted of a standard skull with crossbones behind it, as well as large flame-like patterns to the sides, whereas the current version, named Napoleon, has two crossed sabers instead of crossbones, possesses smaller lateral flame patterns, and is imbued with a fragment of her soul, causing its skull to change expressions and talk to Big Mom; on its top, the hat is edged with a thick yellow streak, it has a strip snap-fastened to it, and beneath it is a light, polka-dotted bandana fastened around Big Mom's head. Big Mom also dons a pink dress with red polka dots and white ruffles on its neckline and hemline, with a wide, rippling white cape attached to its back that falls to the ground. The outfit is completed with dark blue high heels, one turquoise pearl wristband on either wrist, and golden, jeweled rings on all her fingers. Hours after her craving fit for wedding cake started, Big Mom was noted to have gotten slimmer and slimmer up to the point where she has become emaciated. She went back to her usual appearance after eating Sanji's wedding cake. As O-Lin during the Wano Country Arc, she wears her hair in a shimada. During the Fire Festival, she changed into a black furisode kimono with a white minimalist floral pattern, over a light pink robe, tied with a yellow polka-dotted red sash tied in a bow. She also wears a more elaborate shimada.

Charlotte Linlin/Personality And Relationships
Introduction
Personality
Summary
As Carmel noted, Linlin was once a truly kind-hearted little girl. At five years old, Linlin tried to help people and even animals such as a bear and a wolf. However, her benevolent intentions ended up with dangerously violent results due to her monstrous strength and innocent simplicity, as she slapped a bear for devouring a wolf, accidentally killing it in the process. She also fractured a giant's bones while trying to smack a mosquito on him. Linlin even cried in genuine remorse after she accidentally killed the bear. She would also try to "fix" the appearances of her fellow orphans, which was actually attempting to tear off their racial features, being unable to understand the harm she was inflicting. This has carried over to her current situation, as while her dream of creating a country without discrimination is noble, she's willing to use violence and extortion to force people to follow her commands. While Linlin grew up normally as a kind and innocent little girl, she became more selfish and cruel over time, due to neither Carmel nor Streusen ever bothering to teach her any morals as well as taking advantage of her inhuman strength and naivety. Despite her age, Linlin has childish tendencies. After capturing Brook, Linlin playfully patted and caressed the living skeleton and carried Brook with her to sleep at night like a teddy bear and cried hysterically when she thought Brook had died. When Carmel's photo was destroyed and shown to her, Linlin even broke down crying like a baby as she recalls the time when she was a five-year-old girl, questioning why Carmel left her behind. She refers to herself with "ore" (おれ?), an aggressive masculine form of "I", instead of the gender-neutral "watashi" (私?) that most other females use. Like many others, Big Mom has a distinct style of laughing: "Mamamama". However, she has also laughed in a normal "Hahahahahaha" style (occasionally with a drawn-out "Haaaaaaaa" at the beginning, ) and has even combined it with her unique laughter in the form of "Haaaaaahahamamamama".
Gluttony
Summary
Big Mom is an extremely gluttonous woman who loves to eat sweets above all else and has all the islands under her protection pay her with metric tons of whatever kind of confectionery or pastry they can produce. Even as a child Linlin was easily persuaded to stay on Elbaph after her parents allowed her to eat as much sweets as she wanted. She is obsessed with sweets to the point of destroying entire countries for failing to deliver them. In fact, she loves her sweets so much that her subordinates or her territory holds less importance compared to it. Despite this, she did not lose control when Luffy claimed to have eaten all the candy that Fish-Man Island owed her; instead, she correctly deduced that he was lying in order to protect Fish-Man Island. Big Mom is particularly fond of wedding cakes, as she ordered a gigantic wedding cake to be made simply as a treat to celebrate the acquisition of the technology of the Germa Kingdom after she slaughtered the Vinsmokes and even when sleeping, she would sleep talk about eating wedding cakes. According to Pudding, Big Mom would even get enraged and destroy the whole wedding hall if anyone made a mess of the wedding cake. When the wedding cake was presented during the ceremony, Big Mom expressed gluttonous joy and excitement to the point that she salivated. True to Pudding's words, Big Mom went berserk after Luffy ruined the wedding cake, to the point of killing several of her chefs when they were unable to make a substitute cake on the spot.
Eating Disorder
Big Mom suffers from an unknown disease dubbed as an "Eating Disorder" (食いわずらい, Kuiwazurai?) known as Hunger Pangs in the Funimation subs, in which she becomes obsessively fixated on a "Sweet Theme", and will go on a crazed rampage in search of the food she wants to eat. She has suffered from this disorder since before she was 5 years old, being the reason she was banished from her home country, and why she is so hated by the giants, due to her destroying one of their villages and killing Jorul during a rampage. While in this state, she will destroy anything and everything in her path, including her castle, her subordinates, and even her own children, until she eats the food she wants. When rampaging, her pupils become crazed and swirly. Once her cravings are satiated, she becomes more affable and retains no memory of her actions during her rampage. Despite having this disorder for most of her life, it seems she is completely unaware of this psychosis. Big Mom seems to retain a small amount of consciousness in this state, as Perospero managed to convince her to chase after the Straw Hats by lying that they had stolen a spare wedding cake (the food she desired at the time). However, the fact that she bought into such a lie so easily shows she lacks rationality. Her mental instability in this state also means that she is unable to make rational decisions, as shown when she attacked the Thousand Sunny, which she thought was carrying the wedding cake she craved, with a massive tidal wave, even though she could have sunk the ship and ruined the cake. She was also willing to abandon the Thousand Sunny to chase after the Fire Tank Pirates's ship upon seeing them with the cake, despite having the perfect chance to destroy the Straw Hat Crew at the time. She's capable of giving out simple orders to homies to aid her in the pursuit of any perceived targets. However, to some extent, she is capable of recognizing others in this state, as she recognized her daughters Pudding and Chiffon while furiously questioning them for being with the Straw Hats. She also remembered Perospero's claim about the wedding cake, and managed to recall the threat she made to Perospero to kill him if he had lied about the cake.
Hedonism
Stemming from her love for sweets, Big Mom is extremely fond of having tea parties which she dearly looks forward to from the bottom of her heart as noted by Jinbe. Thus, Big Mom is extremely generous to people who attend her tea parties, joyfully offering a large variety of pastry delicacies and extravagant drinks for them to eat and drink as much as they want and can be murderously enraged if her tea parties are ruined in any way. She is very jolly when in a good mood and enjoys celebrating the fulfillment of her ambitions with song and dance, but her cheerfulness is tempered with horrendous malice and brutality, as for every Tea Party she held, Linlin sends her subordinates to specific places to plunder unique ingredients for her tea party, while also ordering them to massacre as many people as possible while robbing the ingredients, causing numerous people to end up dead or viciously brutalized in the process. Big Mom has a particular penchant for singing malicious songs in a light-hearted and happy tone, as she sang Bloody Party together with her homies and some musicians of the Big Mom Pirates while planning Pudding's wedding.
Ambition
Inspired by Carmel's words (though she misunderstood them), Big Mom also desires to create a nation where all races can happily live together due to wanting a "family" comprised of individuals of all races that she can dine with at eye level with via Caesar Clown's gigantification research. Big Mom is so dedicated to this dream that she is willing to invest massive amounts of money in Caesar's research, even building a working replica of Punk Hazard's laboratory in the event that it was destroyed and offering more financial support after Caesar is brought to her with no results; however, her fixation on this dream rendered her oblivious to how Caesar was simply embezzling money from her for his own indulgences. However, no giants live in Totto Land due to them hating Big Mom, especially after a botched arranged marriage when Lola ran away from giant Prince Loki, and Big Mom briefly became enraged when Vinsmoke Judge mentioned them; she has long-since given up on any attempt to reconcile with them. Her obsession with diversity is not just limited towards her family; she also wishes to collect rare and unique animals for her own pleasure, as explained by her eighth daughter who claims that Big Mom would not be satisfied with just having all the races of the world for herself.
Pride
Big Mom is very arrogant and proud of her status as an Emperor and the queen of Totto Land. Big Mom views herself as superior and is confident enough in her abilities that she does not want any outside help as she berated her second son, Katakuri, for interfering when confronting Luffy. Big Mom also taunts her opponents and looks down on them, as when Luffy, his crew, and his allies were trying to escape, Big Mom called him out for being a coward for going back on his word to defeat her. While Big Mom looks down on anyone who opposes her, she detests anyone who does the same to her, as she was angry at Luffy for talking back at her to not be cocky just because she is an Emperor and when she failed to take Jinbe's lifespan, she was taken aback when he called out he cannot be intimidated by a "mere" Emperor. However, she can regain her composure if there is a situation that she has control of, as while she was frustrated with Luffy talking back to her, she regained her thoughts since he, along with Nami, were still prisoners. While Big Mom views herself as being superior, she apparently does not underestimate her opponents' strength, as she sent Cracker to aid Brûlée in dealing with Luffy and his group since Luffy took down Doflamingo. However, she still sometimes underestimates her opponents as she was shocked that Cracker was defeated. Even when she faced Luffy herself, she laughed when the latter declared he would defeat her after beating Kaidou, still refusing to take him seriously. She is also confident in her Devil Fruit, as when she tried to take Jinbe's lifespan away, she was shocked and confused when it had no effect on him, prompting her to use brute force on him. She is also confident that had she been successful in bringing the giants of Elbaph on her side, she would have been able to eliminate the other Emperors and become the Pirate King. Big Mom's arrogance also makes her oblivious to the dangers that are presented to her and her crew. While she and a handful of her children traveled to Wano Country for revenge against Luffy, she only came with one ship. Even King commented on how foolish it was to travel to Wano with a single ship. Big Mom is very proud of her pirate fleet and image. In spite of her arrogance, she does give some appreciation to her enemies. Big Mom praised Brook, in spite of his defeat against her, for harming one of her powerful homies, Prometheus. She even respected Pedro after the latter tried convincing her against taking his lifespan by removing his eye, causing her to take away 50 years off his lifespan instead of 70. Big Mom also holds the strength and abilities of her children and crew highly, as she viewed Pudding's ability to read Poneglyphs with her third eye as an asset. She will get furious if her reputation as an Emperor is diminished in any way, as Big Mom became so furious when Snack and Cracker were defeated that Big Mom created a storm. However, she is not above punishing her crew or children if she feels they had tarnished her reputation as Snack's position as Sweet Commander was revoked after his defeat against Urouge. Big Mom even got furious at Morgans for humiliating her when he wrote an article about her supposed defeat against Luffy where she warned him to watch his back. After her humiliating loss, Big Mom swore revenge against Luffy and his crew to where she stabs his wanted poster to vent out her anger and she argued with Kaidou on who has the right to take Luffy's head. Big Mom also has no fear of her fellow Emperor and old time acquaintance, Kaidou, despite him being called the Strongest Creature in the World and renowned for his invulnerability. She was unfazed by Kaidou's threats to kill her if she came to Wano, even daring him to try. During her captivity on Onigashima, Big Mom remained authoritative and prideful, urging the Beasts Pirates to keep feeding her and asking King to join her crew despite being cuffed with seastone and him having attacked her ship before. Despite her arrogance, Big Mom can acknowledge powerful enemies, especially those that manage to heavily damage her. Against Kid and Law, Linlin resorted to sacrificing her lifespan as a sign that she was taking their challenge seriously.
Business Savvy
When calm and thinking rationally, Big Mom possesses a rather businesslike mindset and strongly believes that a pirate must accept no compromises or delays for something they want. Pappag thinks she is protecting Fish-Man Island with a business perspective since the deals made with the candy qualify as racketeering, though she prioritizes sweets over money and treasure; she initially refused an alternative payment of treasure when Fish-Man Island's monthly candy tribute could not be met, only accepting out of amusement once Monkey D. Luffy openly stood up to and defied her over the payment. This even extends to her allies and crew; should one of them choose to leave her crew or cut ties with her, Big Mom forces them to give up something precious to them as compensation, uncaring of their reason for leaving to begin with. Similarly, she expects all citizens of Totto Land to sacrifice portions of their lifespan as the price of residing in her country, further illustrating her desire to be compensated for everything she provides. While Big Mom does not take much interest in money and treasures compared to sweets, she does have a strong liking in collecting special treasures that are rare and legendary such as the Tamatebako, as shown when she learned than an intruder broke into her treasure room, her first concern was the Tamatebako. Big Mom has proven herself to be extremely treacherous and cunning, as she is willing to break promises and betray potential allies to get what she wants. While putting up a fake front of desiring an alliance with the Vinsmoke Family, she has no intention of marrying off one of her favorite daughters, Pudding, to create this alliance. Instead, mother and daughter plotted together to lure the other family in to massacre them during the wedding ceremony, in order for Big Mom to acquire the Germa Kingdom's cloning technology, a feat they intend to achieve by having the kingdom parked within their territory, all the while without needing to give Pudding to the Vinsmoke family. Pudding also claimed that Luffy and Nami are not meant to leave Whole Cake Island alive either, thus showing that Big Mom was intent on breaking her promise with Sanji about sparing their lives in exchange for his cooperation with this wedding. Her seeming willingness to let her crew members go in return for something they possess is also a sham, as she actually demands lifespan amounts beyond what a single person is able to give her, resulting in her killing them and also taking the lifespans of the people closest to that person. Should she somehow not be able to get any lifespan, she will throw out the deal altogether and physically attack the person.
Selfishness
Big Mom is also immensely selfish and obsessed with power; her marriage of Pudding to Sanji is solely for the sake of gaining access to the advanced combat technology of Germa 66, a process which she is willing to repeat with all her children in order to strengthen her own crew. When a marriage is threatened or annulled, Big Mom will become incredibly angry at the people responsible and aim to kill them mercilessly, even if they are her own children; the larger the power she fails to gain, the angrier she will become. This lust for power stems from her desire to overthrow the other members of the Four Emperors and ultimately become the Pirate King. Big Mom has some interest in the Poneglyphs despite being unable to read them, knowing they are the potential key to Laugh Tale. Her selfishness also extends to her Tea Parties. While the wedding between Pudding and Sanji was meant to be a joyous occasion for their marriage, the event primarily caters to what Big Mom wants over what Pudding wants. This also extends to her guests, as most of the presents for the wedding are primarily for Big Mom herself with very few for Pudding. She also ignored all of Pudding's ideas for the wedding such as the dress she chose for the event only for Big Mom to choose a dress for her instead. Another sign of her selfishness is that while she conceived Pudding with her Third-eyed father for the sole purpose of using Pudding's third eye to read Poneglyphs in order to reach Laugh Tale, she still insulted Pudding for her third eye, as seen when she disgustingly called it creepy, and ordered her to grow out her bangs to conceal it, while being completely uncaring of her feelings. She also abducted and forced 43 men including Pound into becoming her husbands and discarded them after conceiving children and even allowed them to be killed. She is also willing to completely disregard her children's wishes on Marriage for the sole sake of strengthening her crew. She seems to recognize others by their lineage first and foremost, as she often speaks of others in terms of their relation to their parents and grandparents. She also deceived Sanji into thinking that she would release his friends after he agreed to marry Pudding, when in reality she intended to assasinate him and also execute his friends. Linlin apparently does not like to talk about things that are personal and gets angry when people question her. When Judge pointed out that he did not see any giants in Totto Land, Big Mom briefly gave an angry look before dodging the subject by claiming that he overlooked them. When a first time guest asked her about Mother Carmel, she furiously responded to his inquiry by knocking him out with her Supreme King Haki. Linlin is also extremely hypocritical. While she hates people who do not keep their promises with her and will resort to ruthlessness towards said individuals, she has shown that she will not hesitate to lie or deceive others just to get what she wants. During her conversation with Jinbe, she states that a pirate should be free to do whatever they want, yet she forced him to pay a huge price which could result in his death and death for his whole crew. She also forces her own children to marry others without taking their feelings into account and refuses to give her crewmates the choice to leave her crew alive.
Malice And Cruelty
An extremely ruthless and unstable woman, Big Mom is infamous for destroying countries over slight infractions (though most often when they fail to make their monthly payment of sweets), disregarding any and all reasons for the failure while rationalizing that she despises people unable to keep their promises, which makes her a hypocrite as Big Mom herself does not keep her own promises. Generally, there are two things she dislikes: bitter treats, and invitees not showing up for her tea party. Demonstrating herself to be immensely brutal, she does not forgive those who refuse invitations to her tea parties, and she will kill people precious to the absentee as a "present". She does not accept excuses of any kind, even if it was given in advance, nor if the reason was as important as attending a loved one's funeral. Even after dealing such traumatizing damage to an absentee, she would still send them an invitation to the next tea party and expect them to attend, as Jigra was given one more even after Big Mom killed his father. Due to her insane brutality, even Caesar, who is dangerously known for his malevolent madness, is extremely terrified of her. Vinsmoke Judge, a ruthless tyrant himself, also considered Linlin a madwoman. Even some of her children such as Brûlée and Opera are deathly fearful of Linlin as they are aware that their mother is capable of ruthlessly slaughtering her own children should they ever defy her. Big Mom particularly enjoyed killing people by taking away their lifespans, claiming it to be her favorite food. She gleefully killed Zepo in this manner and while she spared Pedro from immediate death, she took away up to 50 years of his entire life away, leaving Pedro a few short years left to live. She also tried to kill Jinbe in a similar manner and was extremely enraged when her powers had no effect on him. Her forcing Sanji to attend her Tea Party just to be killed in order to steal the Germa's cloning technology proves her willingness to harm innocent people who have never offended her just to satisfy her selfish ambitions. When it comes to dealing with enemy pirate crews, Big Mom specifically instructs her children and other subordinates to give her enemies false hope before crushing their spirits as brutally as possible. When Anana wanted knives to cut up her stuffed animal, Big Mom immediately asked two of her sons to bring knives to her. She also encourages and rewards deceitful behavior in her children, as her daughter Charlotte Pudding claims that Big Mom favors and pampers her due to her ability to lie convincingly. On the occasion that she does uphold her promises and deals, if the other party fails to uphold or goes directly against their part in the agreement, Big Mom will display immense rage and will not hesitate to inflict the worst punishment upon them. Although she has no problem with having her children and subordinates attack her enemies, Big Mom will directly go after anyone who threatens anything extremely important to her, including things like her Poneglyphs and wedding cakes. Should she personally target someone, Big Mom's pride will cause her to get extremely angry if someone prevents her from attacking to the point of pushing the obstacle aside even if it is one of her children. She coldly discards her husbands once their children are born, never giving them the chance to either hug them or take part in raising them. This is because she considers them "outsiders" to the family, even passing this belief down to her children who do not care for their fathers or step-fathers. Having been abandoned by her parents and Carmel's "disappearance", Big Mom has severe abandonment issues. She will not allow anyone from either her crew or her country to leave her side alive and will ensure they die rather than leave. While she claims to desire to bring peace to the world, she enjoyed causing chaos and bloodshed out of sadistic amusement. She laughed wholeheartedly when Kaidou beheaded his long-time ally Orochi without mercy. Additionally, despite her ambition to create a nation where all races can live together, Big Mom herself is not above discrimination as shown by her treatment against her own daughter Pudding for her third eye, which Big Mom herself finds creepy, and even cruelly convinced her to grow her bangs to cover it. She also referred to both Brook and Chopper as nothing more than exotic pets for her collection rather than treating them as actual people.
Delusions
Big Mom's insanity also extends to her own delusional mentality. Despite her tremendous cruelty and sadism, Big Mom is completely delusional about herself. She considers herself a "kind queen" of her country, despite everything in it being meant to satisfy her own demands over what her children and subjects want. Despite being the most selfish individual herself, Big Mom accuses all people who refuse to comply with her egocentric demands of being selfish and believes she has the right to kill them as punishment. For example, she would cruelly punish invitees to her Tea Parties that were unable to attend, no matter the reasons, and she tried to force her daughter Lola to marry someone she did not want to, still holding a grudge towards her to this day for refusing to marry and running away. Despite many people following her orders, she believes no one listens to her. When crying while thinking of Carmel, Big Mom cursed the Straw Hat Pirates for opposing her by destroying the wedding cake as well as Carmel's portrait, when she was the one who provoked them to begin with by coercing their chef Sanji into becoming a sacrifical pawn in her Vinsmoke's assassination plan by holding Zeff hostage as well as intending to have them killed. After reading the news about Luffy's actions in her territory, she thought the idea of Luffy's victory was absurd even though she had clearly been humiliated by his actions.
Psychological Crisis
Big Mom is incredibly attached to Carmel, and became deeply heartbroken when the Holy Mother and other orphans of Sheep's House disappeared on her sixth birthday celebration. Her adoration of Carmel is so strong that, more than 60 years after her disappearance, Big Mom still places a portrait of her in front of an empty seat during all Tea Parties. If this portrait is damaged in any way, Big Mom will enter a psychological crisis, falling to her knees in tears and crying for Carmel to return. Unaware of the fact that she was responsible for Carmel's death, Big Mom would wallow in despair at her disappearance during her crisis, questioning where she is and why she disappeared. In this state, Big Mom becomes completely unaware of her surroundings, even when in danger, as seen when Bege attempted to assassinate her. Although Big Mom's emotional distress at Carmel's disappearance is critical, she takes her love of sweets to an equal level of importance, as she entered a state of confusion between her mental breakdown and her eating disorder when both Carmel's portrait and the wedding cake were destroyed by the Straw Hats. In this state she became completely unresponsive to everything around her, only reacting when Luffy showed her the damaged portrait again, at which point Big Mom's mental state tipped over to her psychological crisis and she started to cry. She was so angry at the destruction of the only portrait of Carmel that she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates.
Olin
During her invasion of Wano Country, Big Mom fell into the ocean, washing up unconscious on a beach in Wano. Perhaps due to her already fragile psyche, she became amnesiac after waking up, unable to remember who or where she was. While in this state, under the name O-Lin (おリン, O-Rin?), her personality reverted to that of her childhood self, becoming far more friendly and pleasant, thanking Tsuru for the food she gave her, and being grateful to the poor people of Okobore Town for being nice to her, despite them being unable to give her more food. Even her gluttony seems to have diminished: while she is still prone to violence when denied the food she desires (as seen when she angrily attacked both Queen and Luffy after not obtaining the oshiruko she wanted), she is far more considerate of others, as she wanted the oshiruko not just for herself, but to share with the people of Okobore Town. Besides her nicer demeanor, other aspects of her childhood personality returned with her amnesia: she once again could be easily manipulated by food, as Chopper was able to convince her to go to Udon by promising she would find more oshiruko there, and unwittingly violent, as shown when she tamed a crocodile-shark to carry them by hitting it. She eventually seemed to regain her memories after being hit in the head by Queen, at which point she immediately reverted to her cruel and selfish nature, claiming that Okobore Town was a "filthy town" and giving Queen a menacing look. She did, however, express gratitude to the residents of Okobore Town for their hospitality during her amnesiac state and grew angry at and attacked the Beasts Pirates for destroying it.
Mother Mode
Linlin has a soft spot in her heart for young children of 10 years and under, causing her to rarely enter a friendly state known as "Mother Mode" (マザーモード, Mazā Mōdo?) when in the presence of one.
Relationships
Family
Summary
Big Mom has 46 sons, 39 daughters, and 43 husbands, the latter of whom are scattered all around the world. From her 85 children, Big Mom also has some grandchildren, such as Capone Pez.
Parents
When she was a little girl, Linlin innocently looked up to her parents and believed anything they told her. Because of her uncontrollable behavior, her parents were ultimately forced to abandon her because of the many atrocities she caused to her homeland. Her mother cried after leaving her and both parents were hopeful that their daughter could live a better life under Mother Carmel's care. At first, Linlin seemed to be optimistic regarding their departure, believing they would return for her, even after a long period of absence. She eventually gave up and went to the Sheep's House without any signs of sadness nor anger to her now long-gone parents. Being attached to Carmel and eventually starting her own tyrannically matriarchal family, she never seemed to have any more mention of her parents.
Children
According to Charlotte Pudding, Big Mom marries her children off in order to strengthen her own crew and does not give them a choice in the matter. In addition to this, they are fully aware of how stubborn she can be, and Pudding herself claims that most of them have already given up on their dreams of marrying someone of their own volition, knowing they cannot displease her. However, Lola was undeterred from finding a husband of her own and left the New World to find one, though Lola was carefree and ignorant of the extent of her mother's cruelty. While Big Mom has a lot of children, she does not put a lot of work into raising nor enforcing any moral limits to them (if anything, she encourages their cruelty). She allowed Anana to get a knife to mutilate her stuffed toys, even at the protest of her other children who told her not to encourage violent and psychotic behavior. Big Mom just brushes it off by saying that it is natural and that everyone should get along. While most of her children are very loyal to her demands, Big Mom views them as a means to an end and only cares about them as long as they are obedient and do not stand in her way. When she entered one of her craving-induced rampages, Big Mom did not recognize Moscato as her 16th son and attacked him for blocking her path, taking away some of his lifespan in the process. Moreover, should any of her children defy her in any way, she will desire to have them severely punished and even killed without hesitation or remorse. She absolutely loathes her disobedient daughter, Lola, for running away from a political marriage with the Elbaph prince Loki since it ruined Big Mom's one opportunity to make peace with the giants and gain the power to defeat the other three Emperors and become the Pirate King. She even labelled Lola as a criminal of Totto Land and would have her executed if she returns, and planned to send an assassin after her if she ever acquired Lola's current location. Her hatred for Lola even extends to Chiffon, Lola's twin sister, simply because of their resemblance. Big Mom unfairly abused Chiffon brutally and left her with wounds that never healed. In fact, just by seeing Lola's image in Chiffon is enough to cause Big Mom to go berserk with even greater rage. This led Chiffon to lose all affection for her mother and to side with Capone Bege in his plan to assassinate Big Mom. Lola, on the other hand, is unaware of her mother's hatred for her and still believes herself to be an accepted member of the Charlotte Family. Notably, Lola is the only known child in the Charlotte Family to be completely unaware of Big Mom's willingness to harm her own children. In fact, Big Mom is willing to allow her children to be bullied by others without any concern for their well being as shown during Pudding and Katakuri's childhoods, and Brûlée was once brutally scared across her face by Katakuri's bullies. Some of her children have proven to be more rebellious than most. Lola chose to leave to find a spouse of her own rather than of her mother's choice for her. Chiffon and Praline were more than willing to let their mother die in Bege's plan and Praline even went as far as to help disable her crew's territorial sea slugs to hinder their efforts to track their enemies. After Pudding fell in love with Sanji, she herself helped him and his friends escape her mother's wrath. Due to Big Mom's extremely ruthless and brutal behavior, most of her children are completely terrified of her and do their best not to anger her. Opera fears that she will kill him if she discovers that he failed to stop Jinbe and Brûlée was afraid that she would be murdered by Big Mom if she were considered an associate of the Fire Tank Pirates in their plot to assassinate her. Smoothie chose not to inform her mother about Jinbe's revolt due to not wanting to have to deal with her mother's rage, knowing she would react violently to the news. Among her many children, Big Mom appears to have favorites. Pudding is one such child, due to her tremendous acting skills and also her third eye, which has the potential to read the Poneglyphs. Pudding reciprocates this affection with loyalty to her mother, willingly putting up an act in front of Sanji and his family in order to convince them of Big Mom's commitment to their alliance. They also share a similar lust for violence, gleefully discussing the details of their plan to massacre the Vinsmokes during the ceremony. Big Mom also selected a certain few of her children and appointed them ministers within her territory, as well as further elevating Snack, Cracker, Smoothie, and Katakuri to the posts of Sweet Commander within her crew, showing her trust and respect for their worth and talents. However, when Snack lost to Urouge, she demoted him for his failure to live up to his duties even though she sent an army to avenge him. Nevertheless, Big Mom has displayed some form of care for her children, as she was enraged to learn of Snack and Cracker's defeats and summoned a storm in response while having an army chase after their attackers (though in her conversation with Sanji, she referred to Cracker as a Sweet Commander rather than her son, suggesting she was only angry over the fact that her commander was defeated rather than her son was harmed). She also refused to believe that her eldest son Perospero had lied about the Straw Hats having a spare wedding cake. However, even Big Mom's favorite children do not completely escape her cruelty. When Pudding was a little girl, Big Mom ridiculed her third eye and advised her to cover it up, which has negatively affected how Pudding views herself even up to the present day. Pudding herself seems to realize this, as Big Mom seems to only value her as a tool for her potential to read the Poneglyphs (though later at Onigashima, Big Mom admitted she would rather capture Nico Robin alive than wait for Pudding's ability to decipher the Poneglyphs to awaken ). She is also quick to remind them of their place when they annoy her; when Katakuri steps in to attack Luffy before she can, she berates him as a "lowly child" and begins to scold him before he explains himself to her. Despite her shallow view on them, when an a once amnesiac Big Mom regained her memories after Queen struck her in the head, she remembers her children and muses affection, showing Big Mom has genuine love for her children. Notably, Big Mom recognized both Chiffon and Pudding and even called out their names during one of her craving rampages, contradicting earlier assertions that she could not recognize her children or anybody else during her episodes.
Exhusbands
Linlin would outright abduct her 43 husbands solely to conceive children with them. During the term of her pregnancy, said husband of the current year stays with her, but upon successfully giving birth, she would swiftly discard the husband, without so much as allowing him to hold the child or children once, let alone taking a part in raising them. All of them meant nothing to her as she considered them to be "outsiders" who have no connection to the Charlotte Family, a mentality she passed down to some of her children, whom she gave permission to kill these ex-husbands. Her 25th ex-husband, Pound, was one to suffer such a treatment, being cast aside without so much as a notice beforehand once Linlin gave birth to their twin daughters, not even permitting the man to hold his daughters at least once, and then later permitting Cracker to kill him. Pound was by far the only ex-husband known to have defied his expulsion from the family, as he persistently returned hoping to see his daughters, to which Linlin would constantly kick him out.
Crew And Other Subordinates
Summary
Big Mom's subordinates call her "Mama" (ママ, Mama?), and most seem to be afraid of her. So far, only Bobbin appears to be unafraid of her, to the point of even having a friendly chat with Big Mom after returning to Whole Cake Island. Big Mom has scolded Tamago for being willing to negotiate over payments promised to her. However, she does seem to value him as she wanted to punish Pedro for scarring one of Tamago's eyes. Streusen was the first crewmate to have joined Big Mom after persuading her to be a pirate. To sail with or under Big Mom, new allied crews must form a familial connection with the crew; because of this policy, the patriarch of the Vinsmoke Family arranged for his third son to be wed to the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family. However, in the event that a bride or groom from an outside family has multiple existing affiliations, they must sever connections that are external to the political agreement; this was the case with Sanji, with Pekoms revealing that Big Mom is only interested in Sanji's status as a Vinsmoke, rather than his present membership of the Straw Hat Pirates. Big Mom will not allow her subordinates to leave her service, despite claiming otherwise. The roulette she uses to determine the price they must pay for leaving is rigged to ensure that the victim will always die. Big Mom does not seem to tolerate failure in regards to her crew, even her own children, as Snack was demoted from his position as Sweet Commander after his defeat at the hands of Urouge. Opera and Brûlée were terrified if Big Mom found out they failed in their mission to stop the Straw Hats from escaping, knowing she would kill them if she knew the truth. Individuals like Cracker and Pudding have no fear of Big Mom and are fiercely loyal to her. Brûlée even gloated to enemies about how untouchable Big Mom is and stating that it is suicidal to fight against her. Katakuri will even eliminate any possible threat he senses to Big Mom as he killed Jigra once he foresaw him attempting to assassinate the Emperor.
Streusen
Streusen first met Linlin when she was six years old. After witnessing Linlin's actions that caused the disappearance of Carmel and the other orphans, Streusen believed it would be a waste to let her die and approached her in a friendly and helpful fashion. The two joined the Rocks Pirates together and went on to form the Big Mom Pirates together. In the present time, Streusen respects Linlin's authority and acts humble towards her. In turn, she admires his culinary skills. He was worried for her safety when Bege and the Firetank Pirates were about to assassinate her, and begged her to come to her senses. Like all of Linlin's subordinates and allies, Streusen addresses her by her titles of "Mama" or "Big Mom", but he has used her given name. Unknown to Big Mom, he knows what caused Carmel's disappearance, having witnessed the act and being amused by it.
Homies
The Homies are created by Big Mom's Devil Fruit powers; as such, they are very loyal to her. She spends most of her time around her food-based homies, whom she frequently eats, and while they may be afraid of death, they will not mind being eaten as long as their flavor is appreciated. Despite their loyalty, homies are not above questioning Big Mom, such as when she goes on one of her craving rampages and threatens the lives of civilians and other homies. This loyalty partially stems from fear, as homies naturally fear Big Mom's powerful soul and will be forced to obey anyone who holds her Vivre Card since it also exudes the essence of her powerful soul, which only they can sense. Out of all her homies, Big Mom seems to be most familiar with her bicorne hat, Napoleon, which acts as an adviser or informant by keeping her up to date on recent occurrences and her plans. However, even Napoleon is not above questioning Big Mom, as demonstrated when it begged her to stop her senseless violence during her rampage in Sweet City. Napoleon, Zeus, and Prometheus are three special Homies created from Big Mom's own soul fragments, granting them a higher level of power than other Homies, and they even sleep in the same room as her, acting as her bodyguard and attacking anything that disturbs her. However, even her most loyal homies can disobey her, as Zeus briefly sided with the Sanji Retrieval Team during their escape and was used as an attack against Big Mom due to his liking for Nami's thunder clouds. During the chase for the Straw Hats, Zeus was defeated and captured by Nami and Brook, costing Big Mom one of her most powerful homies. After escaping Totto Land, Zeus officially decided to stay with Nami in her clima-tact, thereby cutting ties with Big Mom and becoming an ally of her enemies. However, one of Big Mom's objectives when she is heading to Wano Country is to get Zeus back. She eventually managed to reclaim him from Nami at Onigashima, although she still threatened Zeus with destroying him if he went soft on Nami. However, after Zeus' continuous mistakes, Big Mom having been convinced by Prometheus to create a new special thundercloud Homie named Hera to replace him who unlike Zeus was completely loyal to Big Mom. and personally removed her soul fragment from Zeus so Hera could devour his body.
Protectorates
Big Mom only imparts protection upon her chosen territories for as long as they can meet the demanded candy tribute and will not hesitate to have them destroyed if they are unable to pay it. Her idea of "protection" specifically offers only protection from external pirate attacks, as Pekoms stated that the local uprising on Fish-Man Island was none of his crew's concern. The sweets produced by Fish-Man Island were a particular favorite of hers. She refuses to give any period of grace under normal circumstances, but was willing to do so once for Fish-Man Island simply because she was amused by Luffy standing up to her. Upon knowing that one of the treasures offered as compensation is the Tamatebako, a national treasure of Fish-Man Island, Big Mom got so excited that she decided to completely forgot the island's failure to give its monthly candy tribute, showing that she is occasionally willing to accept alternative forms of payment if it is something that catches her interest.
Totto Land
Big Mom is the queen of the 34 island archipelago of Totto Land. As such, she rules the whole country and seems to be well respected by the civilians all across the islands. Due to her desire to create a nation free of discrimination, various races of people live in her country. For the most part, the civilians seem to enjoy living under her domain. Despite this, Big Mom seems to care very little to none at all for the well-being of her citizens in her country. She forces every citizen of Totto Land to give up one month of their lifespan every six months in order to live in her country. During her early years of making her dream country, she razed villages to the ground and forced people to live in her country while promising to kill them if they do not agree with her. True enough, Big Mom causes a lot of collateral damage when her eating disorder acts up. Even after regaining her senses, she shows no concern for either her people or her city. Like with her crew, Big Mom will not allow anyone to leave her country. While she will happily welcome all those that come, she will kill all that try to leave her country, being uncaring for the reason. Furthermore, while her country is meant to have no discrimination, Big Mom is very hypocritical about that concept, as she ridiculed her daughter Pudding for her third eye and coldly told her to grow out her bangs to cover it up. Pudding was also regularly bullied and ridiculed by other children while Big Mom did nothing to help her. Katakuri also received similar treatment, having been shunned due to his eel-like mouth which resulted him to hide his face with a scarf. Brûlée was even scarred by other children just for being related to Katakuri. This also extends to her collection of rare creatures, as Big Mom loves collecting rare looking creatures or people and traps them in books for her own twisted amusement while uncaring towards their suffering. During her rampage for the wedding cake, many citizens began to question their devotion towards Big Mom after she destroyed hundreds of homes throughout Nuts Island. Believing she was going to destroy her own kingdom, several citizens attempted to escape her country.
Enemies
Vinsmoke Family
Big Mom initially pretended to be cordial and accommodating to the Vinsmoke Family under the guise of wanting to form an alliance with them. Through the family, she plans to gain access to the advanced battle technology employed by its army, Germa 66. In turn, Judge wants to use her forces to conquer the North Blue once more and re-establish the empire of the Vinsmoke Family. Despite the "alliance", however, Judge dislikes Big Mom as a person and views her as a "madwoman". For this reason, he deliberately sought out his estranged son Sanji in order to meet her demands for a blood connection to her family, as he refused to give her one of his "precious" sons. After Judge and his children arrived at the Whole Cake Chateau, Big Mom treated them as her guests, having lunch with them and giving them a tour of her library. However, Big Mom also dislikes Judge and his family, referring to them as the "annoying leadership" of her true desire, the cloning technology of the Germa 66. In fact, Big Mom never intended to form an alliance with the Vinsmoke family in the first place and planned on murdering Judge and his children from the start in order to gain full control of the Germa army of clones. Judge, for his part, also intended to effectively take Charlotte Pudding hostage after the wedding as leverage against Big Mom. As such, neither of them had good intentions for the other, which they hid under the guise of civility. At the wedding, Big Mom was anticipating the assassination of the entire Vinsmoke Family, but during the ensuing chaos caused by Luffy, her intention to murder the Vinsmoke Family was revealed. Judge was extremely distraught at this treachery and even cried. After Big Mom's assassination plot was thwarted, all of the Vinsmokes became her enemies. Judge later attacked Big Mom directly, cursing her in extreme anger for crushing his dreams and betraying him. However, Big Mom simply smiled at his anguish, told him to die for her own dreams, and proceeded to calmly shatter his spear before smiting him with a bolt of Zeus' lightning. She also personally attempted to kill Reiju twice during the confrontation and later effortlessly subdued Niji and Yonji when they tried to rescue Judge. She then prepared to execute the entire Vinsmoke Family along with their allies before being interrupted by the Whole Cake Chateau collapsing.
Straw Hat Pirates
When she sent her subordinates to collect the monthly candy tribute from Fish-Man Island and called them after learning that they may not receive it, Luffy picked up the Den Den Mushi and claimed that he was responsible for the island's lack of candy. Big Mom accused him of lying and initially refused the treasure that he offered as compensation, but admitted that he had nerve for standing up to her and decided to target him instead of Fish-Man Island. In response, Luffy declared that he would defeat her in the New World and claim Fish-Man Island as his own territory because he could not leave Fish-Man Island under the protection of someone who would destroy it on a whim. However, much later, Big Mom had discovered that the Tamatebako was among the treasures that Luffy gave to her, so Big Mom decided to show remission to Luffy as the Tamatebako was enough for her to let go of the entire matter. Luffy's friction with Big Mom further intensified when he discovered that she had coerced Sanji into a political marriage with one of her daughters by threatening to kill Zeff, whom Luffy is also friendly with, if Sanji refused to comply which would result in him leaving the Straw Hat Pirates. Knowing this, Luffy decided to sneak onto Whole Cake Island to rescue Sanji and ruin the ceremony. Although she views herself as much stronger than him, Big Mom apparently does not underestimate Luffy's strength, feeling the need to have Cracker, one of her most powerful children, aid Brûlée in dealing with Luffy's group. At the same time, she seems to view him as a worthy opponent, looking somewhat disappointed when informed that Cracker would definitely defeat him. Upon learning that Cracker was defeated, Big Mom's rage towards Luffy swelled as she unleashed a ferocious storm and sent an army to battle him. When Luffy and Nami were captured and imprisoned, Big Mom contacted them through a Den Den Mushi and told Luffy that she was willing to let him and his crewmates leave safely due to her promise to Sanji, but threatened them to show them "hell" if they ruined Sanji and Pudding's wedding ceremony. This turned out to be false, as Pudding informed Luffy and Nami that they would die along with Sanji. However, unbeknownst to Big Mom, Luffy escaped capture and aligned with Capone Bege to overthrow her during the wedding ceremony. Big Mom was later shocked at Luffy's presence at the wedding ceremony and was enraged when he destroyed the wedding cake she was looking forward to eating before reflecting on Luffy's previous threats to her. She searched for the real Luffy among his duplicates and after he identified himself, she moved to attack him. When her second son, Charlotte Katakuri intervened and immobilized Luffy, Big Mom reprimanded him for his actions as she wanted to personally crush Luffy herself, but became horrified and shocked when she learned that he was aiming for Carmel's portrait. As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. After drawing Luffy out of Bege's castle body, she then proceeded to mock him by calling him a coward for running away, prompting him to attack her in anger. Luffy then declared that he would defeat her after taking down Kaidou, causing her to laugh in amusement while telling him that he could not hope to defeat him before assuring him that he would not even make it out of her territory alive. When Luffy fell unconscious as a result of activating Gear Fourth, Big Mom prepared to execute him before being interrupted by the explosion of the Tamatebako box. Later, after entering another frenzy due to being denied the opportunity to eat the wedding cake, she furiously pursued Luffy and the Straw Hats to the edge of Whole Cake Island under the false belief that they stole a replacement cake (courtesy of Perospero's lies). After regaining her senses from eating the wedding cake, she made it her priority to kill Luffy and get his soul, knowing that she can create powerful homies out of it. After suffering the humiliation of Luffy escaping her territory after the latter had caused immense havoc by ruining her Tea Party and Vinsmoke assassination plans, Big Mom furiously swore revenge against him. She stabbed Luffy's new wanted poster to vent her anger and frustration for the humiliation she suffered and contacted Kaidou to explain her desire to be the one who kills Luffy. True to her word, Linlin personally traveled all the way to Wano Country with some of her strongest children to kill Luffy and his crew, even though there is a risk of conflict with the Emperor Kaidou. Upon meeting Chopper at Onigashima with her memories restored, Big Mom went berserk with immense anger and angrily demanded Chopper and Usopp to hand their captain over as she chased them down. When the two finally meet again at the Live Stage, when Big Mom mocked Luffy and his allies attempt to bring down Kaidou, Luffy countered this statement, by pointing out this was an all-out war against all hostile forces in Wano, including Big Mom herself. Big Mom was furthered enraged when she admitted she had gotten tired of Luffy ruining every festivity she had been trying to enjoy ever since they first met. When Luffy, Zoro, Law, Kid, and Killer finally confront her and Kaidou on top of Onigashima, she looked down at Luffy and the others for challenging her and Kaidou but soon expressed shock when Luffy actually managed to hurt Kaidou. Despite this sudden improvement, Big Mom still believed that Luffy stood no chance against Kaidou or her. Even during Big Mom's brief stint as the amnesiac, O-Lin, Luffy still managed to incur her wrath. After he foolishly revealed right in front of her that he was the one to consume all the oshiruko, Big Mom furiously chased him all around the Udon Prisoner Mine trying to kill him for his offense. Since Nami is also part of the Sanji Retrieval Team, Big Mom is Nami's enemy as well. After learning of Nami's friendship with her estranged daughter, Lola, Big Mom furiously demanded Lola's whereabouts so she could send an assassin to kill Lola. However, Nami refused to betray Lola so Big Mom assigned her 5th son Opera to torture information out of Nami. As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. Later, after entering another frenzy due to being denied the opportunity to eat the wedding cake, she furiously pursued Nami and the Straw Hats to the edge of Whole Cake Island under the false belief that they stole a replacement cake (courtesy of Perospero's lies). During the chase, Nami further enraged Big Mom when she managed to draw Zeus away with her thunder clouds, harnessed its power with her Clima-Tact, and directly attacked Big Mom herself with a incredibly powerful surge of lightning. Nami would later take Zeus as her own weapon, causing Big Mom to hold a personal grudge against her and swear to reclaim the Homie back from her. Later during the war on Onigashima, Big Mom personally attacked Nami and successfully took back Zeus, though later due to giving up on Zeus for his constant failures which eventually had Zeus return to Nami's side. In order to gain access to the technology of Germa 66, Big Mom falsely agreed to an alliance with Vinsmoke Judge. In accordance with her usual terms, she demanded a family connection to seal the alliance, so Judge offered his third son, Sanji, to wed her 35th daughter, Charlotte Pudding. Because of this, Big Mom primarily refers to Sanji as "the Germa boy" and coercing the latter into obedience by threatening Zeff's life. She has ordered her subordinates to ensure that Luffy and his team do not succeed in meeting up with Sanji on Whole Cake Island. However, in addition to his political value as a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Big Mom has great respect for Sanji's cooking skills and his pirating exploits as a member of the Straw Hats; Tamago further intimates that, if Sanji cooperates with the wedding, it is likely that Big Mom will offer him an even better position within her crew than the one he currently enjoys with the Straw Hats. Sanji, however, flat-out rejected this offer. After finally consenting to marrying Pudding, Sanji asked Big Mom to spare his friends, which she readily agreed to do as long as Sanji married her daughter. However, Sanji later overheard Pudding reveal that the wedding is actually a setup, and that Big Mom's true intention was to kill him and his family and take their technology for herself. Pudding also claimed that the Straw Hats will not leave the island alive either, meaning that Big Mom never intended to keep her promise with Sanji. Big Mom herself later confirms this as she discusses her plans with Pudding, mocking Sanji as she excitedly imagines his brutal death at the altar. Having learnt the truth, Sanji reunited with Luffy and joined his captain's plans to crash the wedding and ruin Big Mom's plans. As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. After the allied forces are defeated and Sanji gets trapped in Perospero's candy, Big Mom prepared to execute him before being interrupted by the explosion of the Tamatebako box. Later, after entering another frenzy due to being denied the opportunity to eat the wedding cake, she furiously pursued Sanji and the Straw Hats to the edge of Whole Cake Island under the false belief that they stole a replacement cake (courtesy of Perospero's lies). Upon seeing Brook, Big Mom immediately became fascinated with him and wants to capture him alive to add him to her collection. Big Mom overpowered and questioned Brook as to why he was trying to steal the Poneglyph and mocked him for his intentions but Brook responded to not underestimate his crew. Big Mom defeated Brook and mocked him by petting him as the latter felt humiliated for his defeat. Big Mom held high praises for Brook's strength, calling his fighting wonderful as well as being able to injure her strongest homies for the first time. Big Mom is extremely fond of Brook to the extent that she chose to carry the Straw Hat musician by her side like a toy instead of placing him in her library collection of rare creatures right away. Even when she went to bed at night, she chose to carry Brook in her hands while sleeping. When Brook was replaced by a skeletal lookalike, Big Mom thought he had died and cried hysterically, although she got over him via the thought of eating wedding cake. At the wedding, she was surprised to see him still alive as he revealed himself after destroying Mother Carmel's portrait, causing her to go into shock, while stammering at Brook for his act of attacking the photo. As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. During her clash with Kaidou at Onigashima, Big Mom quoted the very same words Brook had used during their confrontation, suggesting that they had left enough of an impact on her for her to remember them. Sometime after the Summit War of Marineford, Big Mom allowed former Warlord Jinbe and his crew to serve under her by having her daughter Charlotte Praline marry Aladine. This was enacted in part due to Big Mom placing Fish-Man Island under her protection, though she allowed the Sun Pirates to generally do as they pleased. However, Jinbe is not loyal to her and is considering severing ties with the Big Mom Pirates, but worries of what Big Mom will do to Fish-Man island. Jinbe has told the Straw Hats that he will join them once he settles his business with Big Mom. When Jinbe appeared before her with important matters, Big Mom immediately assumed that he intended to leave the Big Mom Pirates and, upon having her suspicions confirmed, demanded that he give up something in return. The next day, it is later said in a newspaper that Jinbe retracted his intention of leaving her service. This was due to having the (correct) feeling that the roulette itself was designed for ensuring the death of those who spin it. Furthermore, Jinbe later learned that the numbers on which the roulette may land signal additional allies or friends that will be executed, along with the person who originally spun the roulette. Jinbe later fulfilled his intention of leaving Big Mom by attacking Charlotte Opera as well as freeing a captive Luffy and Nami, which he notes was an act of rebellion to which there was no turning back. Jinbe also persuaded Luffy and his friends to join Capone Bege in his plot to overthrow Big Mom at the Tea Party. Big Mom was angered upon seeing Jinbe at the wedding ceremony with the Straw Hats. After Jinbe officially declared his intention to leave the Big Mom Pirates in order to join Luffy's crew, Big Mom attempted to take away Jinbe's lifespan. Her power had no effect on him due to him having no fear towards her, which he explains by saying that he was joining the crew of the future Pirate King before officially leaving her services. In response to his defiance, Big Mom was further enraged and resorted to brute force. As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive Jinbe nor the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. Later, after entering another frenzy due to being denied the opportunity to eat the wedding cake, she furiously pursued Jinbe and the Straw Hats to the edge of Whole Cake Island under the false belief that they stole a replacement cake (courtesy of Perospero's lies). When they later met again at Onigashima, Big Mom swore revenge against Jinbe for his betrayal and actions of devastating her fleet prior to his departure from Totto Land, a challenge that Jinbe accepted.
Pedro
Despite being enemies due to Pedro invading her territory, Big Mom developed a respect for him after the latter tried convincing her against taking his lifespan by removing his eye, causing her to not take away his entire lifespan. However, due to his involvement with the Sanji Retrieval Team in the present day, she once again attempted to kill him along with his new allies when she finally encountered them in person.
Caesar Clown
In the past, Caesar Clown was commissioned by Big Mom to research and develop a viable method of gigantification. However, Caesar quickly concluded that such a goal is impossible to achieve even for him, and each time when Big Mom asked him about his progress, he simply requested more money to help further his research, only to spend it on hedonism instead. When her crew attacked the Thousand Sunny to retrieve him, Caesar begged the Straw Hats to protect him from her, fearing she would discover the embezzlement should she capture him. When she finally caught up with him, Caesar managed to convince her that his research had nearly been completed before it was destroyed by Luffy and Trafalgar Law during the Punk Hazard incident, but Big Mom merely revealed that she had constructed a replica of the required facility and would continue to offer more funding for him to rebuild and finish the gigantification drug within the fortnight that Caesar claimed he needed, making Caesar fear for what could be the last two weeks of his life. Caesar was eventually liberated from his servitude by Bege and joined in an alliance with the Fire Tank Pirates and Straw Hats to take Big Mom down. For Bege's assassination plot, Caesar created three KX Launchers. At the Tea Party and wedding, Caesar showed great excitement when Bege and his crewmates fired the KX Launchers at the vulnerable Big Mom after she started shrieking, but was shocked when the launchers exploded before they got to her. Caesar was in disbelief about the launchers being destroyed while cursing Big Mom, but he also noted that she is an Emperor. When in Bege's Big Father form, Caesar was terrified when Big Mom started attacking the castle. He was also against going out to carry Bege and fly out of the chateau in fear of confronting Big Mom and her crew, even though the Vinsmoke Family chose to distract them. After the chateau collapsed and his heart returned to him, Caesar happily left the island.
Capone Bege
Capone Bege and his crew became subordinates of Big Mom following the Summit War of Marineford. In order to seal the alliance, Bege married Charlotte Chiffon and had a son with her. Bege appears to be loyal to Big Mom, as he followed her orders of bringing Caesar Clown and Sanji to her and even shot Pekoms for trying to let Sanji go. As a result of this loyalty, Big Mom appears to trust Bege implicitly, giving him the position of "Rook" and putting him in charge of security for Sanji and Pudding's wedding. Unbeknownst to Big Mom, Bege's reason to join her was to find any chances to kill her and claim her head. Upon recovering from her shock, Big Mom realized Bege's betrayal, and swiftly attacked Bege's fortress body, causing severe injuries to him as well for Bege of calling Big Mom as an "old hag".
Gol D Roger
In the past, they clashed 38 years ago during the God Valley Incident along with the other Rocks Pirates. Before Roger became a Pirate King, Roger managed to read one of the Road Poneglyph which was already in Big Mom's possession in his quest to reach Laugh Tale. Big Mom was aware that he was able to read it through his mysterious ability to hear the "voice of all things" and stated that she would be able to do the same, apparently referring to her daughter Pudding's third eye. Since Roger's attempt and success in reading her poneglyph, she vowed to not let anyone who managed to read her poneglyphs or have obtained a copy from them to get away. As Linlin was defeated by Law and Kid in Wano, she cursed and resented Roger for having started the Golden Age of Piracy, thereby bringing about a new wave of ambitious pirates which aims to remove her, as well as her fellow Emperors, from power and dominion over the seas in order to find the One Piece.
Morgans
Morgans was one of her guests at her Tea Party and treated him respectfully. The two seemed quite amiable with each other, as Morgans found her betrayal to the Vinsmoke Family amusing. However, as the chaos unfolded for her and her crew as the Straw Hats managed to escape, Morgans planned to reveal her humiliation to the world for a scoop. After escaping Totto Land, Morgans wrote an article glorifying Luffy by listing his exploits and saying he defeated her. Big Mom was furious and swore revenge against Morgans.
Eustass Kid
During the time-skip, Kid invaded Totto Land and injured one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders before stealing something of value from the Emperor. He later sunk two of the Emperor's ships while having no concern if she retaliated. Despite this hostility, Kid stated that he has no interest in going after Big Mom. Big Mom met Kid again at Onigashima, with Kid taking part in the group who faced the duo of Kaidou and Big Mom at the top of the Skull Dome. Kid was one of the Supernovas responsible for pushing Big Mom out of the Skull Dome's rooftop, which caused her to nearly drown into Wano Country's sea. When Big Mom made her way back into Onigashima, she specifically targeted Kid with her new homie Hera and angrily called out for him to reveal himself at her, still visibly furious about the stunt he had pulled that almost killed her. Kid somewhat regained his interest to take down Big Mom and declared that she is nothing more than both a nuisance and old timing pirate where she has no place in the new era, much to Big Mom's rage. Big Mom seemingly did not take Kid seriously until he and Trafalgar D. Water Law managed to severely injure her. The resulting damage was enough to impress the Emperor, who then started to acknowledge their threat, even going as far as sacrificing some of her own life to gain additional power so she could crush the two. In the end, however, Big Mom's efforts were still not enough to take down Kid and Law, who both showed no fear at all towards her status as one of the Emperors, meaning they are immune to her Soul Pocus as well for Kid calling Big Mom as an "old hag". Once Kid and Law managed to launch her down into a crater, Big Mom, confident that she would not die, swore that they would pay.
Trafalgar D Water Law
Due to his allegiance with Luffy, Big Mom is interested to kill Law. Law was one of the supernovas who knocked Big Mom towards the ocean. Law gained interest of taking Big Mom down. Much like Kid, Law also declared that Big Mom has no place in the new era due to her being a nuisance while he is trying to do or learn something, as Law wished that Big Mom would just go away. Big Mom seemingly did not take Law seriously until he and Eustass Kid manage to severely injured her. The resulting damage was enough to impress Emperor, who then started to acknowledge their threat, even going as far as sacrificing some of her own life to gain additional power so she could crush the two. Law declared to Big Mom that her era is over. In the end however, Big Mom's efforts were still not enough to take down both Law and Kid, who both showed no fear at all towards her status as one of the Emperors, meaning they are immune to her Soul Pocus as well for Law declared that he is looking forward to hear Big Mom's last gasps. Law used silence just so Big Mom won't be able to call out her Special Homies. Once Law and Kid managed to launch her down into a crater, Big Mom, confident that she would not die, swore that they would pay.
Giants
When she was five years old, Linlin was originally accepted by the giants of Elbaph. It was the first time in her life she was able to stand next to people and buildings her size, although there were incidents of her uncontrollable strength coupled with her simple-mindedness causing quite some trouble, such as greatly injuring Eiri when she tried to swat a mosquito on him. However, friction between her and the giants began after she devastated a village because of her craving sickness. Jorul was enraged at her actions and labeled her as a devil, and attempted to cut her down only to be fatally injured by the rampaging Linlin and died as a result. Jarul was going to avenge Jorul, but spared Linlin because Mother Carmel begged him to. After this incident, Big Mom is hated by every giant in the world and even those not of Elbaph came to hate her. When Linlin unknowingly made Mother Carmel and the Sheep's House orphans "disappear" at her 6th birthday party, a giant who witnessed the whole gruesome sight quickly fled the island and told everyone on Elbaph. From that day forward, the giants' hatred for Linlin grew even greater to the point that they even refrained from saying her name. Many years later, Linlin was given an opportunity to reconcile with them when the prince of Elbaph proposed to Lola; Big Mom was on the verge of tears of joy when it happened, as she also intended to integrate the army of Elbaph into her forces via this would-be union. However, because Lola ran away from the wedding and Big Mom's attempt to use Lola's twin sister Chiffon as a stand-in failed, her relationship with giants grew worse. Her willingness to deceive Loki showed her lack of respect and honor for giants. After that, Linlin effectively gave up on trying to bring the giants to her side, and instead changed her focus to artificially gigantifying her family. Despite ceasing her pursuits for real giants, Big Mom remains frustrated to this day for her failure to bring them over to her side and will be enraged when someone mentions giants around her as when Vinsmoke Judge mentioned how he did not see any in Totto Land. Linlin prefers not to publicly admit that there is not a single giant living among the racially diverse populace of Totto Land, as she swiftly claimed that Judge might have just missed them. After hearing the events that happened in Wano Country, the giants were overcome with excitement and joy because of Linlin's defeat.
Four Emperors
Summary
As the Four Emperors are not allied to each other and Big Mom is seeking to become Pirate King, Big Mom wishes to take down her fellow Emperors, as she reflected that she could have defeated Kaidou, Shanks, and Whitebeard had she formed an alliance with Elbaph. It is unknown if she thinks any differently of Blackbeard. After her defeat, she is no longer a part of the Four Emperors anymore.
Kaidou
In the past, both Linlin and Kaidou were once members in the legendary Rocks Pirates. During which, they seemed to be close to each other, as Linlin called Kaidou her "little brother", told him to tell her if anything was bothering him, and even granted him a powerful Devil Fruit as a favor when their crew fell. As a fellow Emperor, Linlin appears to at least respect Kaidou's power and seems to know about Kaidou's true nature, as she brushed off Luffy's claim on taking him down. However, she also has a huge dislike for him, referring him as a "thing". Kaidou, however, did not seem to hold respect for Big Mom as he called her an "old hag". Despite that, according to Big Mom, Kaidou owes her a huge lifetime debt for giving him his Devil Fruit. She also stated that she still sees him as a little brother. Kaidou is also one of the few to call her by her actual name. During their conversation via Den Den Mushi, Kaidou refused to cooperate with Big Mom when she requested him to let her kill Luffy and even threatened to kill her if she comes to Wano Country though she was unfazed by his threat and dared him to do so, showing herself to be totally unafraid of him. When Big Mom and her crew arrived at Wano, Kaidou feared that their presence could lead to an all-out war and quickly ordered his subordinates to stop them. After she was escorted to Onigashima, Kaidou allowed her to be freed from her shackles before clashing with her after saying that he would keep his promise of killing her for coming to Wano, to which she replied that she had no intention to die. However, following their battle, Kaidou and Big Mom found common ground in their dream of taking over the world that they had pursued as members of the Rocks Pirates, to which they temporarily put aside their differences in order to achieve said goal. They now act quite jovially around each other as they drank together and were excited about working together again, although they ultimately still wish to kill each other once they achieve their dream. However, Kaidou and Big Mom were defeated by Luffy, Kid and Law and they went down to the magma deep within Wano, causing the eruption, with their fate left unknown.
Others
Carmel
Mother Carmel was the first person in Linlin's life who ever understood her. After her parents left her behind at Elbaph, Carmel took Linlin in and gave her a home with Carmel always forgiving Linlin regardless of what mistakes she made. Thus, Linlin became extremely attached to Carmel. Big Mom referred to Mother Carmel as everybody's "mother" in her Tea Party. Even in adulthood, Linlin would always put up her photo on the table every time she has her tea parties and she would go on a psychological rage if anyone were to just merely damage her portrait. Big Mom is very secretive about her relationship with Carmel that even her own children do not know the details. She will also get mad if people question her about her relationship to Carmel as shown when she used her Supreme King Haki to knock out a curious guest. Upon Luffy showing Linlin Carmel's broken portrait, Linlin broke down crying while yelling out her strange shriek as she reminisced on her past. Unknown to Big Mom, Carmel was actually a child trafficker who planned to sell her off to the World Government after discovering her potential. Therefore, she never actually had any affection for Linlin (or any of the orphans). Incidentally, Big Mom herself is unaware of her role in causing the disappearance of Carmel and the other children of Sheep's House. Linlin inherited Carmel's dream for a country where everybody could see eye to eye, but misunderstood it. She later contacted Caesar Clown and funded his gigantification research.
Sheeps House Children
Despite her current desire to coexist with other races, she showed a very limited understanding for her fellow Sheep's House residents of different races, trying to "fix" a longarm child and a fish-man child by removing a joint and a fin respectively. However, the children got along with Linlin because Carmel asked them to. Even after witnessing the destruction she caused at Elbaph, they held no hatred towards her like the giants and continued to live happily with her. On her sixth birthday, the children of Sheep's House prepared her croquembouche made of semla. She was filled with joy and cried as she dine on the sweets but was grief stricken when the other children and Carmel "disappeared".
Gerd
Gerd is a giant who lived on Elbaph during Linlin's childhood. When Gerd was a child, she became a close friend of the future Emperor. However, Gerd was utterly horrified when Linlin destroyed a village. Currently, Gerd no longer see Big Mom as her friend any more after what she did 63 years ago.
Tama
While suffering amnesia in Wano, Linlin developed a close friendship with Tama due to their mutual love for oshiruko. As she invaded the Udon Prisoner Mine, Linlin called Tama to share oshiruko together after smelling the scent of it. Surprisingly, even after regaining her memories, she still maintained her friendliness with Tama, as Prometheus explains is her "Motherly Mode", which shows around kids under ten. Her care for Tama even led her to attack Page One when she learned from her that the town that gave her oshiruko was destroyed by the Beasts Pirates. Unfortunately, after Big Mom tried to viciously kill her own homie Zeus, she lost Tama's trust when the latter became afraid of her, and when she tried to flee from her with Nami and Usopp, she became determined to kill Tama as well due to her past issues of people abandoning her, until she resumed her fight with Kid.
King
Even though King was responsible for almost killing the Big Mom Pirates when they tried to enter Wano, Linlin is willing to forgive him when she invited him to join her crew, since he is part of a race that is still not a part of Totto Land. Although he bluntly refused, she just called it a “shame” and laughed it off.
Rocks D Xebec
While as a member of the Rocks Pirates, Linlin dutifully served the crew's captain, Rocks D. Xebec. However, as she stated when she met Kaidou, she never really trusted him and even called him a "good-for-nothing", showing that she didn't have much respect for her old captain.

Charlotte Linlin/Abilities And Powers
Introduction
Overview
Summary
As formerly one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom was recognized as one of the four most powerful pirates in the world. As the only female member, this effectively makes Big Mom the single most powerful female pirate in the world. Five Elder St. Shepherd Ju Peter stated that Big Mom was one of the few people capable of stopping Teach. When her fellow former Emperor Kaidou, known as the world's "Strongest Creature", threatened to kill her if she came to his territory, Big Mom simply invited him to try and said he would not be able to dissuade her. Even the Straw Hat Pirates recognized that she could crush them quickly and easily if they fought her recklessly. As the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, Big Mom has amassed an extremely powerful crew, as well as several strong subordinates such as Jinbe, a fish-man and former Warlord of the Sea, and Capone Bege, a member of the Worst Generation. She possesses considerable influence within the Underworld as well, having connections to the Vinsmoke Family, which leads the legendary Germa 66. Those who marry her children automatically become part of her crew. While under Big Mom's protection, Fish-Man Island was protected from pirate attacks, indicating a powerful influence similar to that of the late Whitebeard. She is known to destroy entire countries over sweets and is intimidating enough that even her underlings Pekoms and Tamago, who are powerful in their own right, are afraid of talking to her when she is angered. In fact, almost everyone, including her own children, has been shown to fear her. Ironically, this fear makes Big Mom stronger due to the nature of her Devil Fruit powers. Big Mom's arrival during a battle between her crew and the Sun Pirates and Germa 66 brought great jubilation to her crew, indicating that her presence would likely turn the tide of the battle in their favor. After regaining her memory Big Mom was also able to scare Queen of the Beast Pirates, with the latter even admitting that he did not stand a chance in battle against her, despite having defied her when she was amnesiac over oshiruko earlier. Even after being captured and held by pure Seastone chains and kept under watch of all three All-Stars of the Beasts Pirates, the crew continued to feed her sweets to keep her in a good mood, while constantly fearing her presence alone. In spite of Big Mom's incredible strength, her greatest weakness is her wavering mental state. Whenever she enters her craving sickness, she will act wild and out of control, endangering everyone around her, including her allies, and becoming unable to think or act rationally until she gets the food she is craving. Similarly, if her portrait of Mother Carmel is damaged in any way, Big Mom will suffer a mental breakdown, falling to her knees and crying while becoming completely oblivious to everything around her, even when threatened, as seen during Bege's assassination attempt. In this state, even a fall to her knees can cause her to bleed, making her vulnerable to physical attacks. At the early age of six, Linlin's first known bounty was 50,000,000, implying that even at such a young age she was considered a significant threat. This bounty later increased to at least 500,000,000 and due to her status as a former Emperor, her current bounty is 4,388,000,000.
Intelligence
Intelligence Gathering
Big Mom's overall influence allows her to gather information about the backgrounds of people she is interested in, with said information being used to issue threats and demands. It is said that even demons would attend her tea parties if they were invited. She was even aware of the waterfall-climbing method used by ships to enter Wano Country with giant koi, with her intelligence gathering being praised as the best in the pirating business. However, her reach is not unlimited, as she was completely unaware of the existence of Mogura Port in Hakumai, which would have allowed the rest of her children to regroup with her safely by gondola.
Tactical Skills
Despite her childish personality, Big Mom is extremely cunning and deceptive as she is willing to break promises and betray potential allies to get what she wants. While putting up a fake front of desiring an alliance with the Vinsmoke Family, she had no intention of marrying off one of her favorite daughters, Pudding, to create this alliance. Instead, mother and daughter plotted together to lure the other family in to massacre them during the wedding ceremony, in order for Big Mom to acquire the Germa Kingdom's cloning technology though her Vinsmoke assassination plan failed due to unexpected factors such as Sanji eavesdropping Pudding's boasting to Reiju their assassination plan as well as Bege's betrayal and secret alliance with the Straw Hats. She also has her children to marry off powerful allies in order to bolster her crew's strength.
Physical Abilities
Strength
Big Mom has immense superhuman physical strength, demonstrated by her ability to climb tall buildings despite her massive size, throw punches with tremendous destructive power, and hurl Prometheus with extreme force using only a single arm. She was already born with her unnatural strength, as seen when she killed a large bear instantly with a single smack, merely intending to scold the animal, as well as broke several of a giant's bones by trying to slap a mosquito on his back, all when she was just 5 years old. When suffering from her cravings, she could destroy a village in Elbaph and defeat several armed giants without a single scratch, being described by Jorul as an "evil god in the form of a child". She was strong enough to not only break Jorul's sword with her fist when he tried to attack her, but also grab the giant's beard, flip him over her shoulder, and smash him into the ground with enough force to mortally wound him. Carmel believed she had the potential to become an admiral or fleet admiral in the Marines. According to Bege, she can single-handedly wreak havoc on towns and sink battleships without any effort. During a craving-caused rampage of hers in Sweet City, it was estimated that she might even bring down her mountain-sized castle itself if no one were to stop her. Katakuri also noted that his mother can destroy Totto Land itself and cause even worse unimaginable destruction. She was able to break through the metal doors of her castle's treasure room, which even her daughter and Sweet Commander Smoothie could not break through, just by walking into them. Even while sleeping, she could smash the stone floor around her bed by simply tossing and turning, as well as do the same with a slap while half-asleep to merely kill a fly. Big Mom also easily damaged Bege's Big Father fortress form, which was said to be impervious to cannon-fire. Later on, Big Mom easily defeated the Raid Suit-wearing Germa 66 commanders Vinsmoke Judge, Vinsmoke Niji, and Vinsmoke Yonji by herself, the latter two being genetically enhanced superhumans, without incurring so much as a scratch on her person. She can also walk through the ground unscathed without being slowed down. While in an amnesiac state, she easily overpowered the powerful Ancient Zoan user Queen, jumping up to his head, grabbing it and smashing it into the ground with tremendous force before effortlessly lifting and throwing him into a wall and sent Luffy flying into a wall with a slap, despite him defending with Armament Haki. She was also able to clash equally with her fellow former Emperor Kaidou for two days without being injured. Even when magnetically bound to the side of a tower after being weakened, Big Mom possessed enough strength to rip the entire tower out the ground simply by turning around.
Durability And Endurance
Big Mom also possesses tremendous superhuman durability due to her extremely tough skin, being compared by Sanji and Capone Bege to an iron balloon. She is able to destroy cities, sink ships, and resist cannon and gun fire without receiving a single injury. It is said that no weapon can pierce her skin. She is also able to grab Prometheus, put him in her hair and ride on him for a long period without getting any burns despite Prometheus being a miniature sun. However, it loses its toughness completely when she is in a psychological crisis, such as when someone dropped Mother Carmel's photograph that she holds dear to the point that just falling to her knees could cause her to bleed. Brook's Soul Solid, which he used to cut through the tough hide of powerful dragon from Punk Hazard, failed to leave a single mark on her skin. She easily crushed Vinsmoke Judge's spear with her teeth when he tried to attack her with it. Big Mom later took a massive thunderbolt from Zeus that was empowered by Nami's Weather Egg, which was powerful enough to create a giant crater in the ground and was completely unfazed by it. This is a tremendous feat, as a regular unenhanced thunderbolt from Zeus was powerful enough to knock out Vinsmoke Judge in one hit. Later on, she withstood the force of Pedro's suicidal explosion—a massive blast powerful enough to grievously injure her son Perospero, despite him wearing a Candy Armor to mitigate its effects—only to rise again absolutely unscathed. Shortly afterwards, she took a point-blank hit from the Thousand Sunny's Coup de Burst and was once again completely unaffected by it. While in an emaciated and hungry state, she also took the full force of Jinbe's Buraikan and quickly recovered without apparent damage. She also withstood Queen falling onto her head with the full weight of his brachiosaurus form and suffered no significant damage. However, even at full strength, Linlin's durability is implied to have limits, as both Bege and Brûlée believed that falling from the top of Whole Cake Chateau would have actually killed her. She also has a very high level of stamina and endurance. She was able continue to act normally after being wrapped one hundred times in 100% pure Seastone chains and receiving one hundred shots of heavy strength tranquilizer that is normally used for wild animals. No other character in the series has been shown to be able to ignore the weakening effects of Seastone, even without being injected with tranquilizer. Besides her tremendous strength and durability, Big Mom's body also possesses other abnormal characteristics. Her metabolism seems to be extremely fast, which can limit her endurance. While suffering from a craving for wedding cake, she quickly burned through her excess fat, becoming much slimmer mere hours after the craving fit had started. While she is significantly more agile in this skinnier state, her skin seems to become much less durable, as she received superficial burns and bruises after being struck by her homie Zeus' discharged lightning, which she had withstood without issue while in her heavier state. This, however, seems to be a secondary effect of her cravings, as she was able to fight Kaidou for two days without getting slimmer or weakened while in her normal state of mind. Her sense of smell also seems to be extremely acute, as she was able to catch the wedding cake's scent despite the ship carrying it being several miles away and barely visible in the horizon.
Speed And Agility
Despite her enormous size, Big Mom is extremely fast in combat as she instantly caught up with Luffy, Sanji, and Reiju. She is also incredibly agile, as shown with her Marma-Raid attack, in which she jumps in the air and spins forward vertically.
Ultrasonic Scream
Big Mom also has the ability to emit an extremely loud shriek when psychologically destabilized. Her scream is powerful enough to send nearby objects flying and completely incapacitate those around her, causing them to either faint or cover their ears in pain, even individuals as powerful as Luffy or Sweet Commanders Smoothie and Katakuri. The Vinsmoke siblings, who were genetically enhanced to have superhuman fortitude, were also shaken by her scream until they were given earplugs. The sheer pressure from her scream, along with her Supreme King Haki, can destroy incoming projectiles before they reach her body, providing a form of defense in lieu of her usual bodily toughness.
Devil Fruit
Summary
After the death of its previous owner, Carmel, Linlin somehow acquired the powers of the Soru Soru no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to manifest peoples' souls as an ethereal substance that she can grab hold of, so long as the intended victim feels fear. She can then steal the soul from the victim, taking away their lifespan by an amount of her choosing. She can take a person's entire remaining lifespan, thus killing them instantly, or she can just take part of that person's remaining lifespan, leaving their lifespan that much shorter. However, this ability has no effect on those who do not fear her or cannot hear her voice. Once she has them, Big Mom can infuse the stolen souls into objects to give them life, turning them into beings called homies, which act as her servants. Nearly anything can be made into a homie, including animals, plants, minerals, liquids, furniture, food, buildings and even intangible things such as fire, air, and light. Anything made into a homie gains human-like attributes, such as the ability to walk and talk. The only things that cannot be made into homies are people and corpses. She can also consume her own soul in order to make herself bigger and stronger, as well as infuse souls into her own skeleton, allowing her to heal her own broken bones by commanding them to return to their proper structure. She can also create incarnations of her own soul that will complete the task of collecting souls.
Special Homies
In addition to creating homies from the souls she has taken from others, Big Mom can use fragments of her own soul to create "special homies", which are far more powerful than regular homies due to being made from fragments of her own incredibly powerful soul. Her special homies originally consisted of Zeus, a thundercloud summoned with her left hand; Prometheus, a sun summoned with her right hand; and Napoleon, a bicorne she wears on her head. These three special homies are Big Mom's most powerful weapons. Zeus can unleash extremely potent lightning bolts, powerful enough to instantly knock Raid Suit users unconscious and shower entire battlefields in lighting. Prometheus' flames are capable of burning fire-resistant opponents and he can expand to a tremendous size to incinerate entire forests. Big Mom can also combine their powers to manipulate the weather and create massive storms. She can also ride either Zeus or Prometheus to fly through the air at high speed. Napoleon can telepathically receive information from other homies and relay it to Big Mom, and can also reveal a retractable blade and hilt, allowing him to transform into various swords with devastating offensive power, which he can use to both attack on his own or be wielded by Big Mom in combat, where she can swing him with enough force to cleave through entire islands. Big Mom is able to still control her special homies to some degree, even when they are unconscious, as she is seen using Prometheus and Zeus to fly after they had been knocked out during a battle. During the Straw Hats' invasion of Totto Land, Zeus was captured by Nami and turned into her servant, although Big Mom managed to reclaim him during the Fire Festival raid on Onigashima. However, after once again losing Zeus during the battle against the Worst Generation on the rooftop of the Skull Dome, Big Mom, angered by Zeus' perceived incompetence, and at Prometheus' suggestion, decided to replace him with a new thundercloud special homie named Hera, who proved to be much stronger (punching a massive hole in the Skull Dome) and more in sync with her fellow special homies than Zeus ever was, allowing for Big Mom and her homies to use stronger and more complex moves. Big Mom later had Hera attempt to consume Zeus in order to merge their souls together and increase her power. While Big Mom's homies have often given her a major advantage in battle and maneuverability, they have also been exploited as a form of weakness where various characters have used strategies that involved separating her homies from her. The result often put Big Mom in unfavorable situations that her opponents would then use as an opportunity against her.
Haki
Summary
Big Mom is one of the very few people in the world who can use all three forms of Haki. Law stated that he could not directly move Big Mom around inside his ROOM due to her Haki being too strong.
Supreme King Haki
Big Mom possesses immense mastery in the usage of Supreme King Haki. a rare form of Haki that only one in several million people in the world can use. She was first seen using it at Sanji and Pudding's wedding to knock a man out for questioning her relationship with Mother Carmel. When her portrait of Carmel was destroyed, a distraught Big Mom unleashed her Haki, which, along with her loud screams, incapacitated most of the party guests. When she fought with Kaidou at Onigashima, the clash of their Supreme King Haki created a massive shockwave that split the heavens. Big Mom is among the small "handful" of users who can use the advanced application of "infusing" Supreme King Haki into themselves, as signified from the black lightning emanating from the infused area. As such, this drastically increases her attack power, supplemented by her natural physical strength and Armament Haki.
Armament Haki
Big Mom is an immensely skilled user of Armament Haki. By hardening one of her arms, she easily blocked Luffy's Kong Gun, a notable feat, since that attack had been shown to be capable of breaking through the powerful Haki defenses of highly skilled Armament Haki users such as Doflamingo, Cracker, and even Katakuri. Her casual use of Armament sports a flame-like pattern at its ending, same as when Luffy and Katakuri use their strongest attacks. She is also capable of using the advanced application of projecting her Armament Haki out from her body, allowing her to strike opponents without directly making contact with them. In the anime, when Big Mom uses advanced Armament Haki, it is shown as a yellow and red colored flowing aura.
Observation Haki
Big Mom is an highly skilled user of Observation Haki. She was able to gauge the power of Zoro's sword, warning Kaido to dodge his attack. She was able to sense the Super Rookies "got away" in the wake of her and Kaidou's combined attack, which enabled her to tell they were still alive.
Swordsmanship
Summary
Big Mom's bicorne, Napoleon, can reveal a hidden blade and handle and become her personal weapon. Using it in combination with her monstrous strength allows her to unleash powerful shockwaves that can cause massive destruction. Napoleon's powerful strikes even overwhelmed Jinbe and his Haki defense. Napoleon's blade can also be infused by his fellow special homies' elements, enhancing his attacks with fire and electricity.
Weapons
Summary
She was seen wielding a flintlock and a normal sword in her youth.

Charlotte Linlin/History
Introduction
Past
Mother Carmel And The Sheeps House
Despite being born to normal human parents, Linlin was abnormally large and strong even as a child. When she was 5 years old, unbeknownst to her, she was exiled from her homeland due to her uncontrollable behavior causing much destruction, and her parents were forced to abandon her on Elbaph in the hopes that she would be taken in by Mother Carmel, lying to her that they would pick her up later. After spending a long time on the shore, Linlin was taken in by Mother Carmel to the Sheep's House, a place where she took care of children of any race or status. Due to her naivete and strength, Linlin was prone to physically hurting her housemates; on one occasion, she tried to help a wolf and a bear get along, but when the bear ate the wolf she accidentally killed it with a slap. Despite Linlin's mistakes, Carmel always understood and forgave her. On the day before the Winter Solstice festival, Linlin and the Sheep's House children were invited to take part in a feast, and Linlin was instantly enamored by the semla served to her. The festival then began, with all residents of Elbaph having to fast for 12 days. Linlin suffered greatly as she kept craving food, and on the seventh day of fasting she finally snapped and went on a rampage to get semla. Causing destruction throughout the village and taking down multiple giants, Linlin's actions were deemed to be heresy by Jorul, who attacked her despite Carmel's pleas. However, Linlin shattered Jorul's sword with her bare hands before grabbing him by the beard and throwing him into the ground, fatally injuring him. The citizens of Elbaph then held her down and fed her semla, satiating her and putting her to sleep. When Linlin awoke, she did not remember her rampage, making the giants even angrier at her. In order to quell the giants' wrath, Carmel took Linlin and all her children to a new Sheep's House on a different island, where things returned to normal. Unbeknownst to Linlin, Carmel was in truth a child trafficker who had begun negotiating her future sale to the World Government after her power displayed at Elbaph. Carmel argued that in the Marines Linlin could become an Admiral or Fleet Admiral, or in Cipher Pol would be the greatest shield the Celestial Dragons could ask for and demanded a high price with intent to retire after the sale. Although the masked Cipher Pol agent present reluctantly agreed to the deal, it would never come to pass. At a later date, Carmel and the children celebrated Linlin's sixth birthday with a tea party and croquembouche. An excited Linlin cried tears of joy and devoured the meal, being unable to see past her tears. When she finished eating (with such ferocity that she unwittingly ate the table and chairs as well), she realized that Carmel and all her housemates had disappeared, leaving only scraps of clothing behind. She then searched for them only to find that she was all alone and broke down in tears. Immediately after this, Linlin was approached by Streusen, a chef and former pirate that wanted to work with her after witnessing her actions, laughing as he called her a monster. They decided to make the island they were on into a dream country, where she wanted all races to live in harmony and for her friends to be the same size as her. Unknown to either of them, a giant had come from Elbaph to the island to make sure Carmel and the children were doing well, only to witness Linlin's actions too, causing him to flee in terror. He reported back to the other giants, causing the giants' hatred for her to increase even more.
Becoming A Pirate And Mother
Linlin later discovered that she somehow had gained Carmel's Soru Soru no Mi powers. Afterwards she began engaging in pirating activities, razing villages for sweets and treasure, with Streusen handling the latter. In time, Linlin began conquering islands rather than just raiding them and started giving the citizens the choice to either obey her orders and join her dream country or die. She quickly gained a bounty of 50,000,000, which multiplied by 10 while she was still young as she became more powerful and fearsome. They terraformed these islands to be based on a different type of food, with the island they began on becoming Whole Cake Island, the center of their new utopia called Totto Land. At some point Linlin turned a shield belonging to Goldberg's father into a homie, after the Giant was sent to take her down. When she was 18 years old, Linlin gave birth to her first child, starting her family and has since birthed about once a year for 42 years, earning her the epithet of "Big Mom", with some of them being multiple births, eventually having 85 children from 43 husbands. By the time she was 24 years old, Linlin, along with Streusen, was a member of the infamous Rocks Pirates. At that age, she met with a 15-year-old Kaidou, who then became an apprentice of the crew as well as a younger-brother figure to Linlin. Thirty-eight years ago when she was 30, she and her crew arrived at God Valley to recover a certain treasure, about which Linlin was the most concerned. Upon seeing Emporio Ivankov and Bartholomew Kuma holding the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu and Nikyu Nikyu no Mi, she attacked Ivankov and stole the Zoan fruit, but before she could steal the other fruit as well, Kuma ate it himself. Sometime after, she battled against Gol D. Roger and Monkey D. Garp during the God Valley Incident. During this, Captain Rocks D. Xebec met his end, resulting in the crew's dissolution. On the same day, Linlin gave the Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu to Kaidou, for which she claimed he owed her. At age 35, Big Mom went back to forming her own crew. Big Mom had sought to become Pirate King and reach Laugh Tale even before the Great Age of Pirates. Over 25 years ago, Roger managed to read Big Mom's Road Poneglyph, allowing him to beat her to Laugh Tale. In time, the World Government came to dub her, one of the Four Emperors. Eighteen years ago, Big Mom gave birth to decuplets, setting her personal record for the most births at once. Intent on becoming the next Pirate King, Big Mom placed her hopes on her 35th daughter Charlotte Pudding, born 16 years ago from a man from the Three-Eye Tribe, to awaken her tribe's special ability to help read the Poneglyphs. At one point, the Prince of Elbaph, Loki, proposed to Linlin's 23rd daughter, Lola. Big Mom saw an opportunity to quell her strained relationship with the giants and sought to make it a political marriage that would forge an alliance with Elbaph and Totto Land, granting her the means to trounce the other members of the Four Emperors and becoming the Pirate King via the giants' famed army. However, Lola escaped from the arranged marriage against her mother's will. Big Mom then tried to use Lola's elder twin sister, Chiffon, as a substitute, but that plan failed and her relationship with giants grew worse. Big Mom gave up on trying to befriend the giants thereafter and decided to focus on creating artificial giants instead. To that end, Big Mom commissioned the rogue Marine scientist Caesar Clown to research Gigantification so she could turn members of her family into giants. Meanwhile, Big Mom's rage towards Lola over running out on the political marriage even extended to Chiffon due to her bearing identical features. Linlin would treat her cruelly time and time again and often banish her from her presence. Five years ago, the Nox Pirates entered her territory, seeking the Road Poneglyph, but her crew crushed them. As a punishment, she had Zepo, a Nox Pirate, spin the Roulette Wheel to determine how he and Pedro would be punished, and it landed on 100 years of lifespan being removed. Big Mom removed Zepo's lifespan, who died instantly since he only had 30 years left to live. She then prepared to take 70 years of Pedro's life, but Pekoms' pleading convinced her to reduce the years lost to 60. Pedro then took out his own left eye to show Big Mom his determination to return to Zou alive. Out of respect for his spirit, Big Mom decided to only take 50 years of Pedro's life. At some point, Big Mom and Vinsmoke Judge arranged a political marriage between Pudding and Judge's third son, Sanji, in order to unite the bloodlines of the Charlotte and Vinsmoke Families. However, Big Mom secretly plotted to assassinate the Vinsmokes in order to claim Germa 66's cloning technologies for herself. Her Vinsmoke assassination plan was continuously delayed due to the Vinsmoke Family being unable to locate Sanji who was living under a low profile in the Baratie.
During The Timeskip
Summary
After the Summit War of Marineford and the death of Whitebeard, Fish-Man Island was once again vulnerable to pirate attacks and to the slave trade. Big Mom decided to protect it in Whitebeard's place, but demanded large amounts of candy as payment, thus leading to the Candy Factory's creation. The Sun Pirates would also ally with her crew for protection due to Jinbe having resigned from his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. When Snack was defeated by Eustass Kid and later Urouge during their attempt's to invade her territory, Big Mom created a storm in a fit of rage. During one of her tea parties, someone unintentionally made Mother Carmel's picture fall from its chair. In response, Big Mom started to emit a shrieking cry that stunned the assembly, and unleashed Supreme King Haki waves, making the guests collapse one after another. Out of psychological shock, she fell on her knees, scraping them and injuring herself for the first time in a long time.
Fishman Island Saga
Fishman Island Arc
After the Straw Hat Pirates and the Ryugu Kingdom defeated the New Fish-Man Pirates, Big Mom sent two of her subordinates to collect the monthly candy tribute, unaware that the factory had been destroyed in the fighting. She was excited for an upcoming Tea Party, at which she anticipated eating the candy from Fish-Man Island. Bobbin returned from destroying an island that had failed to make its monthly candy tribute and reported that everything had gone up in flames. Pleased by this, Big Mom commented that the baked sweets from that country were delicious and that the island must have smelled wonderful as it burned down. Upon learning that Fish-Man Island might not be able to make their monthly payment, she demanded that a call to be made to the island at once. Pekoms and Tamago were too nervous to answer when the call went through, so Monkey D. Luffy answered it instead. When Luffy claimed that he had eaten all ten tons of the candy meant for her tribute, Big Mom accused him of lying, but Luffy insisted that he spoke the truth and offered her their treasure as compensation. As an offended Big Mom declared she would only accept candy and that she could not eat treasure, Tamago informed her that Eustass Kid had recently sunk two of their ships and the crew was in need of money to cover the damages, which meant they should accept the gold and allow Fish-Man Island two weeks to recover and make new candy. Though she was further insulted by the suggestion due to her belief that pirates should not compromise, Big Mom admitted that she had become interested in Luffy and decided to shift the target of her wrath from Fish-Man Island to Luffy alone. In response, Luffy decided that it was too dangerous to leave Big Mom in charge of Fish-Man Island and declared that he would defeat her when they meet in the New World before announcing his intention to claim Fish-Man Island as his own territory, utterly infuriating Big Mom.
Whole Cake Island Saga
Zou Arc
Sometime after Sanji and his group arrived at Zou, Big Mom sent her subordinates Pekoms, Bege, and Tamago to issue a malicious Tea Party invitation to Sanji to coerce him into becoming a pawn in her Vinsmoke assassination plans, threatening to send a decapitated head of anyone he holds dear as a present if Sanji refused to comply. Before Sanji's arrival to Whole Cake Island, Big Mom ordered Pudding to seduce Sanji with her acting skills as part of her plan to assassinate the Vinsmokes.
Whole Cake Island Arc
Three days before the Tea Party, Big Mom happily sang and danced with her Homies, as she received reports that her subordinates had acquired special eggs, flour, and fruit to make the wedding cake. She then asked and received confirmation that Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates had arrived in Totto Land. Later, Big Mom got a craving for croquembouche and went on a rampage through Sweet City looking for the treat. Her 16th son Charlotte Moscato attempted to stop her, but she demanded he give her either croquembouche or his life. He ran away in fear, and she pulled out his lifespan. Jinbe then came and fed Big Mom with some croquembouche homies, causing her mind to return to normal. Jinbe asked to talk with Big Mom, and they went to the Whole Cake Chateau, where he asked to leave her crew. Big Mom agreed, but on the condition that he spin her Roulette wheel to give up a certain amount of lifespan. Due to the exorbitant amounts of lifespan on the wheel, Jinbe retracted his request. When the Straw Hats reached Whole Cake Island the next day, Big Mom sent Charlotte Cracker to deal with them swiftly, ensuring they would not disturb the Tea Party. She then had Caesar Clown brought before her, and she inquired about the progress of his gigantification research. Caesar lied that his progress had been destroyed by Luffy and Trafalgar Law, so Big Mom revealed that she had a replica laboratory constructed just for him. She gave him two weeks to finish his research, and if he did not have results by then he would be killed by Charlotte Perospero. The next day, Big Mom found out that Luffy had defeated Cracker. Enraged, she created a storm around Sweet City and sent out an army to avenge Cracker. Big Mom went to have lunch with the Vinsmoke Family in the Chateau. On her way, her daughter Charlotte Anana asked for some knives. Big Mom told her sons Dolce and Dragée to get some for her despite their protests, having no issue with Anana's murderous tendencies. She then joined Pudding and the Vinsmoke Family for lunch. After Pudding and Sanji excused themselves, Big Mom returned to her throne room. Sanji later came and requested that she allow his crew to live. She said she would, so long as he went along with the wedding. Big Mom then took the rest of of the Vinsmokes to her Prisoner Library, where she showed them her collection of rare animals and people. Vinsmoke Judge noted that he had not yet seen giants in Totto Land, and a displeased Big Mom lied that he had just missed them. Big Mom then went back to her throne room and called the imprisoned Luffy via Den Den Mushi. She offered to spare his life if he agreed to not interfere in the wedding, but Luffy refused and openly defied her. Having heard that her crew found Lola's Vivre Card in Nami's possession, Big Mom ordered Charlotte Opera to torture Nami until she revealed Lola's location so she could send an assassin after her. Immediately afterward, Big Mom was alerted to an intruder in the Room of Treasure, and she immediately went there and confronted Brook as he attempted to steal the messages of her three Poneglyphs. She quickly overpowered him, although he was able to deal a small wound to Prometheus, impressing her, as he was the first person to do so. Not finding any Poneglyph rubbings on Brook, Big Mom decided to keep the living skeleton as her pet. Pudding then approached Big Mom and they went back to the throne room. There, they went over Pudding's role in the plot to assassinate the Vinsmokes during the wedding. Big Mom then went to bed with Brook the night before the wedding. When members of the Sanji Retrieval Team entered her room to save Brook, she mistook them for flies, wildly attacking them while half asleep. Eventually, they managed to rescue Brook and replace him with a normal skeleton before escaping. When Big Mom woke up the next morning, she wept, thinking that Brook had died, but quickly tossed the skeleton aside after being reminded about the wedding. Big Mom entered the wedding venue atop the Whole Cake Chateau, where she merrily ate and drank with her guests. Big Mom was delighted as Mother Carmel's portrait was brought out, and angrily knocked out a guest with her Haki when he questioned how they were related. The Emperors of the Underworld presented Big Mom with gifts, which she intended to open along with the Tamatebako after the wedding. The wedding ceremony then started, but right when Pudding was supposed to shoot Sanji at the altar, she broke down crying instead. Big Mom signaled for the priest to shoot Sanji, but Charlotte Katakuri accidentally shot the priest in his own attempt to shoot Sanji. Katakuri then stood in front of Big Mom after foreseeing what was about to happen, and the venue broke out into chaos as Luffy and several mirror clones of him burst out of the wedding cake. Big Mom was devastated by the destruction of her cake and removed the lifespans of a few of her cooks as she demanded they make a new one. She attempted to find and attack the real Luffy, but Katakuri intercepted him first. Jinbe saved Luffy from Katakuri, and Big Mom asked if he was staging a mutiny. Jinbe then declared that he was officially leaving the Big Mom Pirates and agreed to have Big Mom take his lifespan on the condition that she would not take any of his comrades' lifespans. Big Mom attempted to do this, but could not due to Jinbe not fearing death. Jinbe attempted to offer a sake cup to Big Mom instead, but she stepped on it and attacked him and Luffy with Prometheus. Big Mom then noticed that Brook had destroyed the portrait of Carmel, and she became dazed as her mind was conflicted over losing both the cake and the portrait. However, when Luffy directly showed her the pieces of the portrait, she lost her mind and unleashed a deafening scream along with Supreme King Haki as she mourned the disappearance of Carmel. While Big Mom was screaming, Capone Bege and his men attempted to kill her by shooting KX Launchers at her, but the force of her scream caused them to blow up in midair, and it also shattered the mirror that they had intended to use to escape. Soon afterwards, Big Mom regained her senses while Bege was under siege by her crew. Enraged, she started attacking Bege's castle form, overwhelming his defenses. Chiffon tried to get Big Mom to show mercy, but she only angered Big Mom further due to her resemblance to Lola. The Vinsmokes then emerged from Bege to allow him to escape, and Big Mom overpowered Vinsmoke Reiju, causing Luffy and Sanji to come out and stop her attack. Big Mom engaged in a brief clash with Luffy, and he told her that he would come back and defeat her once he had beaten Kaidou, which she found laughable. Judge then attacked Big Mom, but she quickly defeated him with a thunderbolt from Zeus. Vinsmoke Niji and Yonji came to fight her but were swiftly defeated as well. However, right as the Big Mom Pirates were on the verge of total victory, the Tamatebako fell to the base of the Chateau and exploded, causing the Chateau and the Big Mom Pirates to fall to the ground far below. Zeus cushioned Big Mom's landing, but as her subordinates made plans to go after the Straw Hats, Fire Tank Pirates, and Vinsmokes, she was reminded of the wedding cake's destruction and got a craving illness for it. She went on a rampage and removed Opera's lifespan, and when she came to Perospero, he lied that they had made a duplicate cake which was stolen by the Straw Hats. Big Mom then went after the Straw Hats but said she would kill her eldest son if he was lying. She quickly caught up to the Straw Hats by riding on Zeus and attacked them with Napoleon as she demanded her cake. However, Nami started feeding Zeus small thunderclouds, causing him to veer off course and dropping Big Mom off him. As they headed into the Seducing Woods, Big Mom ordered the woods homies to help her stop the Straw Hats and continued launching flying slashes at them with Napoleon. However, Zeus continued to be distracted by Nami, and he accidentally consumed her entire weather egg, filling him with a massive amount of storm energy. Nami then forced him to unleash an enormous thunderbolt that struck Big Mom with enough force to leave her in a crater. However, Big Mom was barely fazed by the attack and moved through the ground toward the Straw Hats. She eventually chased them to the coast and started grabbing and biting on the stern of the Thousand Sunny. However, the Straw Hats managed to blast themselves away on the Sunny with a Coup de Burst. Unaffected by the blast, Big Mom continued chasing after the Straw Hats on the ocean by walking on a candy homie created by Perospero, and quickly caught up to the Thousand Sunny, attacking it by creating a massive tidal wave with the candy homie. Perospero found out that the Straw Hats had survived and told Big Mom to go intercept them at Cacao Island, but she decided to go to Nuts Island instead, tearing it apart as she looked for cake. Luffy ended up coming to the island via the Mirro-World, and Perospero pointed him out to Big Mom. She chased Luffy until he managed to escape back to the Mirro-World. After leaving Nuts Island in ruins, Big Mom resumed chasing after the Thousand Sunny and eventually caught up to it. After hours of rampaging, she was beginning to rapidly lose weight. She summoned Zeus and Prometheus back to her and jumped aboard the Thousand Sunny to look for the cake. When told that there was no cake on the ship, Big Mom refused to believe Perospero had lied to her, tearing through the Sunny's deck and attacking the Straw Hats onboard. However, Jinbe managed to knock her off the ship. Big Mom was saved by Zeus, and she decided to slice the entire ship in half with Napoleon to find the cake. However, Brook bisected Zeus and Nami forced him to discharge its electricity, engulfing Big Mom with a powerful lightning blast. Big Mom lost Zeus but resumed the chase while riding Prometheus. Just as she was about to burn the ship, she smelled the wedding cake approaching on the Nostra Castello. Big Mom started pursuing the Nostra Castello and the cake, following them to Funwari Island, where the cake was left on the coast for her to eat. An utterly emaciated Big Mom then tore into the cake and was left in utter awe by its delicious taste, which reminded her of her feelings during her birthday party with Mother Carmel and the Sheep's House children. After finishing the cake, Big Mom was left lying on the ground in a happy daze, where she was approached by Perospero, who informed her of the situation with the Straw Hats. She then rushed to Cacao Island on a candy homie to intercept the Straw Hats. Big Mom reached Cacao Island as her forces were battling the Sun Pirates and Germa 66, and she prepared to join the fight. During the fight, she overwhelmed Niji and Yonji singlehandedly, resulting in the two of them being captured, but Jinbe and the rest of the Vinsmokes and Germa 66 managed to get away.
Levely Arc
Sometime later, Big Mom returned to Whole Cake Island and read the newspaper. She became extremely enraged, as it claimed Luffy had defeated her, and angrily swore revenge on both Morgans and the Straw Hats. She later contacted Kaidou through a Den Den Mushi and told him that she would go to Wano Country to take Luffy's head. When he protested, she reminded Kaidou that he owed her a great debt, much to his displeasure.
Wano Country Saga
Wano Country Arc
Summary
Big Mom traveled to Wano Country with her crew and children in pursuit of the Straw Hats and to retrieve Zeus. When they attempted to climb the waterfall around Wano Country on the Queen Mama Chanter, King flew in and attacked, causing the ship to flip over and sending Big Mom into the ocean. Afterwards, Big Mom washed ashore on Kuri Beach, where she was found by Chopper, Tama, Kiku, and Momonosuke. When she woke up, she wondered who she was, having lost her memories. The following morning, Chopper's group took her to Okobore Town, where Tsuru gave her some oshiruko, which she found delicious, and she was given a new name, O-Lin. When Chopper told her that she could find more at Udon, Big Mom became eager to go there. The group then traveled to Udon. On the way there, she commented on how nice the people of Okobore Town were, having given her food despite being very poor. However, she soon started to get hungry, asking how far Udon was while hungrily eyeing Chopper, much to his discomfort. During the journey, Big Mom and Tama happily talked about oshiruko. As night fell, the group arrived at Udon. The next day, Big Mom arrived at the Prisoner Mine, having a craving for oshiruko. After smashing her way through the prison gates, she confusedly asked what a "Big Mom" was when she heard the prison guards call her by her epithet. She then smelled oshiruko, and called for Tama to join her and eat it together. When Queen confronted her, Big Mom asked him to give her oshiruko. However, Queen transformed and refused to share the oshiruko, which angered Big Mom, so she smashed Queen's head into the ground, before swinging him by the neck and throwing him into a wall, taking him out. She then found the pot of oshiruko and eagerly opened it, only to find it empty, much to her disappointment. When she heard Luffy admit that he ate all the oshiruko, Big Mom became angry and started attacking him, revealing that she wanted to take the oshiruko back to Okobore Town to share with everyone there. Big Mom sent Luffy and Hyougoro flying into a wall, and continued chasing Luffy through the Prisoner Mines, destroying everything in her path. She was then distracted by the pot of oshiruko long enough for Queen to attack her by slamming into her head in his brachiosaurus form. This attack caused Big Mom to regain her memories, but she fell asleep immediately afterwards. On Queen's orders, the sleeping Big Mom was wrapped in Seastone chains and injected with heavy doses of anesthesia before being brought to his ship to be taken to Onigashima. At Onigashima, Big Mom gorged on sweets baked by the Beasts Pirates in the presence of the three All-Stars. Recognizing King as a member of one of three races still missing from Totto Land, she told him that she would forgive his attack on her ship if he joined her crew, but King refused. She then ordered Queen to remove her Seastone handcuffs, but the Beasts Pirates did not comply until Kaidou arrived and ordered his subordinates to release her. When Kaidou reminded her that he had promised to kill her if she set foot in Wano, Big Mom replied that she had no intention to die. She then grabbed Napoleon while Kaidou grabbed his kanabo, and the two Emperors clashed, causing the skies above Onigashima to split in two. The two Emperors continued fighting throughout the night. Eventually, after a few days, they stopped their battle and decided to form an alliance, resolving to take over the world together before going back to trying to kill each other. On the day of the Fire Festival, Big Mom prepared for the upcoming feast by putting on a kimono. Later at the Pleasure Hall, she spotted Chopper on the Brachio Tank V. The group in the tank fired a shot at Big Mom and she chased after them, demanding the Straw Hat captain. She quickly returned to the Pleasure Hall after Prometheus called her back upon spotting Nami, Carrot, and Shinobu. Big Mom pursued them while turning nearby objects into homies. Big Mom later captured Zeus, Nami, and Carrot and went to the Live Stage to join Kaidou as he announced his New Onigashima Project, and laughed when Kaidou decapitated Kurozumi Orochi for protesting his plan. When the raid started, Big Mom confronted Luffy, mocking his intent to bring down Kaidou, but Luffy retaliated by stating that his goal was to defeat both of them, along with their followers, in an all-out war. Angered by Luffy's continued interferences in her affairs, Big Mom attacked him with Napoleon, blasting a hole straight through the walls of Onigashima, but Luffy dodged the attack. When Nami attempted to steal back Zeus, Big Mom retrieved him and prepared to strike her down with Zeus's lightning, threatening to destroy Zeus if he went easy on her. Before she could complete the attack, however, Franky and Brook arrived, with Brook slicing Zeus in half and Franky running over Big Mom's face with the back wheel of the Kurosai FR-U IV, sending her to the floor. An angered Big Mom stood up and confronted Franky and Brook, recognizing the latter. Just as Franky was about to fire his Radical Beam at her, three of the Numbers arrived, which Big Mom identified as failed ancient giants from Punk Hazard, and Franky was forced to fire the beam at one of them, which was holding the Brachio Tank V with Chopper and Usopp inside. Big Mom took this opportunity to attack him from behind with Napoleon, but Jinbe grabbed her arm and flipped her onto the floor, where Nico Robin used her powers to sprout two long rows of arms and roll Big Mom off the stage. As she was being rolled away, Big Mom furiously swore revenge on Jinbe. Outside of the castle, Big Mom met Perospero and Marco and immediately shot down Perospero's misgivings about her alliance with Kaidou, revealing that the alliance was her idea and telling him that she still intended to become the Pirate King. She then wondered why someone of Marco's status was helping out some "brats", saying that the remnants of the Whitebeard Pirates had lost their way, but Marco replied that with Whitebeard's death, they were no longer bound by his will, but left free to do as they pleased. Bemused, Big Mom told him to do as he wished. Big Mom then briefly clashed with Marco, being surprised that his phoenix flames could overpower Prometheus'. She grabbed him by the neck and ordered Perospero to kill him, but before he could do so, he was stopped by a surprise attack from Carrot and Wanda in their Sulong forms. An annoyed Big Mom then rushed back to the Pleasure Hall, telling Marco that he would have to fight her at another time, since she did not have the souls to spare on him. Big Mom reentered the Skull Dome and flew towards the roof where Kaidou was. After joining Kaidou, she requested that Nico Robin be left alive as she decided not to wait for Pudding's ability to decipher the Poneglyphs to awaken. She also asked about Kaidou's Road Poneglyph, making him question if it wasn't too soon for her to show her cards. An indignant Big Mom then reminded Kaidou of his debt to her after she gave him his Devil Fruit the day the Rocks Pirates fell. When Kid, Killer, Law, Zoro, and Luffy arrived at the roof, Big Mom became excited to take their heads. She was later shocked to see Luffy harming Kaidou with a Gear Third attack. Big Mom then berated Luffy, saying he did not know what it meant to be Pirate King. After Kaidou retaliated and grazed Luffy, Big Mom tried to use Prometheus to attack him, but Zoro stepped in and cut the sun homie in half. Big Mom then had Prometheus fire three balls of fire at Luffy, Kid, and Law, who ended up taking the attacks, after Luffy challenged the other two to a game of "Chicken", with all of them losing. After Kaidou transformed into his dragon form, Big Mom joined him in the sky. As the members of the Worst Generation continued with their attacks on Kaidou, Big Mom struck Killer with a lightning bolt from Zeus, and then unleashed a massive lightning storm on the entire group but was surprised when Luffy was unaffected. After Luffy got worn out from using Gear Fourth, Big Mom tried to attack him with Napoleon, but Zoro grabbed Luffy and jumped out of the way. Law then dealt a blow to Big Mom using his "Counter Shock" technique. As Zoro rescued Luffy from Kaidou, Big Mom was surprised that Zoro managed to cut Kaidou. Later, after Kaidou transformed into his hybrid form, Big Mom agreed when he stated that the battle was getting fun. Big Mom then suggested to Kaidou that they finish off the five pirates together, and, while insulting each other, they unleashed a massively powerful combined attack. However, thanks to Zoro barely managing to block it for an instant, the Worst Generation survived, impressing Big Mom. She then faced off against Kid, Law, Killer, and Zoro while Kaidou fought Luffy. Kid created a metal box that Law used to teleport Zeus in, while Zoro sliced Prometheus to pieces and Killer chased Napoleon away. While getting shot at by Kid, Big Mom asked if they seriously thought that removing her homies from her would be enough to beat her, shaking off Kid's attacks and punching him into the ground. Kid, however, attached some scrap to Big Mom's body and repelled it to send her flying into the air, where Law launched a boulder at her. Big Mom asked what the point of that was, until she realized she has been pushed off Onigashima and was now falling towards the ocean. In a panic, she called for Zeus to save her, but it was Prometheus and Napoleon—after Kaidou intervened—who came down to catch her. Big Mom angrily called Zeus useless and listened to Prometheus as he agreed that Zeus was always holding them back and asked her for a favor. Big Mom then flew back towards the rooftop, having created a new lightning homie, Hera, to replace Zeus. Eager to test her power, she had Hera fire a massive lightning bolt at Kid and Killer. She then went inside the Skull Dome to search for them, but ran into Nami, Usopp, Tama and Komachiyo as they fled from Page One. Big Mom recognized Nami and Usopp, but when Tama called her by her name from when she was amnesiac, O-Lin, Big Mom went into what Prometheus described as her "Mother Mode", forgetting about the Straw Hats and happily talking with Tama. She thanked her for looking after her when she had amnesia and for taking her to Okobore Town, where she had Tsuru's tasty oshiruko. However, when Tama told her that Okobore Town had been burned down by the Beast Pirates, Big Mom became very angry, saying that no matter how cruel pirates can be, there should still be some standards. Page One arrived and told Big Mom to stop the Straw Hats from escaping, but she instead furiously punched him in the throat with a fist coated in Supreme King Haki. Big Mom was confronted by Ulti, who berated her for attacking Page One. After Nami tried to get her on their side by lying, saying that Ulti was the one who had burned down Okobore Town, Big Mom replied that the Straw Hats were next once she was done with Ulti. When Ulti hit Tama, a furious Big Mom asked her how she dared attack her friend. Before she could act, however, Nami struck Ulti with a lightning bolt. While the two fought, Big Mom commanded Napoleon, Prometheus, and Hera to combine, firing a powerful laser beam at Ulti that knocked her unconscious. Big Mom then noticed Zeus nearby, but when he attempted to reenter her good graces, she callously rejected him, ordering Hera to consume Zeus despite his pleas for mercy. She then turned her attention to Tama, plucking her from Usopp's arms as she prepared to strike him and Nami down. Zeus attempted to attack Big Mom as a last show of defiance, but she easily snatched him, squeezing out the last remnants of his soul before tossing his body to Hera. Big Mom then noticed Tama attempting to escape with Usopp and Nami and became enraged at her perceived betrayal, preparing to kill all three with Napoleon. However, before she was able to do so she was interrupted by an attack from Kid, who slammed her to the ground, though she quickly returned to her feet. As Big Mom and Kid fought, they heard a broadcast throughout the island that Luffy, who had been defeated by Kaidou, would return, though Big Mom scoffed that it was just a lie to maintain the morale of the samurai. Law then joined the fight. During their battle, Big Mom was surprised to see a large dragon, whom she mistook for Kaidou, crash through the floor and upward through the ceiling. After Luffy announced to everyone present on Onigashima that he would defeat Kaidou, Big Mom once again laughed at his claim. When Kid appeared distracted by strange headaches during the fight, Big Mom attempted to strike him down with a blow from Napoleon but was foiled by an attack from Law. Prometheus blasted Law out of the air, while Big Mom slammed down Napoleon's lightning-infused blade down on Kid, who was still suffering from unexplained pain. Big Mom taunted the pirate captain, saying that he looked as if he would die before she even delivered the killing blow. However, Kid eventually rose to his feet, with Big Mom noting he looked to have gotten a second wind. Big Mom then blasted Kid out of the tower and chased after him, but Law used his awakened Devil Fruit powers to pierce his sword through Big Mom's body and release a powerful electrical shockwave inside her, causing her to bleed at the mouth. Before she could recover, Kid then used his own awakened Devil Fruit to magnetize Big Mom's body, causing all nearby metal beams and objects to slam into her. Furious, Big Mom emerged from the pile of rubble and used her Soul Pocus to steal the lifespan of the nearby Beasts Pirates, using it to turn the nearby metal beams into homies, as well as empower Prometheus, Napoleon and Hera. She then consumed a year's worth of her own lifespan to increase her size and strength. After praising Law and Kid for managing to hurt her for the first time in decades, she challenged them to try and take her position as an Emperor. After fighting for a time, she stood triumphantly over them and continued beating them. When their crews begged her to spare them any more harm, Big Mom mocked the two captains for their crews' pleads and had Hera attack them with lightning, reminding them that pity and mercy had no place on a battlefield. Big Mom then prepared to rejoin Kaidou on the rooftop, noting that she had not heard Kaidou's victory cry yet. Before she could fly away, Law pierced Big Mom's body with his sword and unleashed a shockwave inside her once again, causing her to bleed from the mouth and fall off from Hera. Before the metal beam homies could attack Law, Kid used his powers to pull them into a massive metal bull, surprising Big Mom that both captains were still standing. Kid then rammed the bull into Big Mom, slamming her into a wall. Big Mom stood back up and used her own soul to mend her broken bones by turning them into homies. She then combined Hera, Prometheus and Napoleon into a massive energy blade, using it to slash through Kid's mechanical bull, and charged at the two captains, boasting that she and Kaidou had sunk hundreds of "brats" like them in their decades as Emperors. Kid magnetized her head into the tower behind her, sticking Big Mom to it and preventing her from dodging as he once again charged the bull at her. However, Big Mom managed to lift the tower and spun it around, so it took the attack instead. She then created a new homie, Misery, out of Hera and Prometheus' fire and lightning and had her attack Kid and the other pirates and samurai. Suddenly, Law dropped the remains of the tower on her head, and while she was on the floor jumped on her chest and stabbed his sword through her, extending it all the way to Wano's mainland. Big Mom repeatedly punched Law to try to get him off her, but he held on and unleashed a powerful shockwave that grievously injured Big Mom and created a large hole on the floor down to the mainland. Big Mom ordered Misery to kill Law, but Kid then assembled a massive railgun and aimed it at Big Mom. She defiantly challenged them to hit her with everything they got, reminding them of her status as an Emperor, and Kid fired, blasting Big Mom towards the hole. Big Mom refused to fall down, withstanding the attack by grabbing the sides of the floor, and used her Soul Pocus to drain the lifespans of everyone around her, demanding that they give her either fifty years of their life or serve as her slaves; however, Kid and Law were unaffected since they did not fear her. Law then created a special ROOM around Big Mom that silenced her, stopping her Soul Pocus from working. When Misery tried to save Big Mom, Law sliced her in half, while Kid continued firing at Big Mom, eventually pushing her down the hole. As she fell through the armory, Big Mom tried to grab one of the bombs that Yamato had frozen, which caused it to explode, blowing a hole in the bottom of the island. As she and some of the explosives fell towards the hole in the Wano mainland, Big Mom mentally cursed Roger for starting the "Great Pirate Era" before his death and sending tons of young pirates after her head, and for not telling her more about One Piece before he supposedly died. She also swore vengeance on Kid and Law, telling them not to think this was the end of her. She then fell into the hole, getting caught up in the massive (but silent) explosion. Big Mom fell into Wano's magma chamber and was later joined by the defeated Kaidou. As a result, an underwater volcano erupted from where Onigashima had previously sat. As of the present day, her status and whereabouts appear to still be unknown to the world at large, as Pudding was not certain if she was alive and some low-ranking members of the Blackbeard Pirates believed her to be dead. Though she was defeated in an isolated country, her defeat would even reach parts of the world which were even more isolated from the larger world, as the Giants of Elbaph were excited to know she was defeated due to their resentment for her past actions in Elbaph.

Translation And Dub Issues
Name
Linlin's name was initially romanized as such in Chapter 829. However, in Chapter 868, it was romanized as "Rinrin" on her first wanted poster. This was fixed in Episode 838 of the anime adaptation. Additionally in the Simulcasts, the FUNimation subs listed her alias as "Big Mam" during the Fish-Man Island Arc. This was corrected in later arcs.
Epithet
In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces, Linlin's epithet was romanized as Big Mom. However, in Chapter 610, her name was romanized as Big Mam. Later, in Chapter 651, her name was again romanized by Oda as "Big Mom" when Sanji was fantasizing about her appearance. In the magazine release of Chapter 930, her name reappears as "Big Mam" in her crew's name, while the sail of the Queen Mama Chanter in the same chapter have "Big Mom" written across it like previous appearances.

Trivia
Summary
When Tamago stated that Linlin was a female pirate, Sanji imagined her as an attractive redhead. Linlin shares her name with the real-life pirates Charlotte Badger and Charlotte de Berry, although in their case Charlotte is their given name. Linlin is the youngest person known to have captained a pirate crew, having led the Big Mom Pirates since she was 6 years old. Linlin became the oldest of the four emperors upon Whitebeard's death. While the Big Mom Pirates, and Totto Land as a whole, seem heavily inspired by fairy tales and fantasy fiction, Linlin in particular shares traits with several characters from Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland novel: The Queen of Hearts with their extreme selfishness, short tempers, their similar appearances (obese, bulbous nose and a very wide grin), abnormal size, and the way they dress. They both also rule over their bizarre kingdoms with iron fists and have the tendency to order the decapitation of others. Linlin's desire to include giants into her country is ironic, considering that the Queen of Hearts forbade anyone who is a "mile-high" in her kingdom. The Mad Hatter with their obsession with tea parties, intolerance for latecomers and constantly wearing very unique hats. The Duchess with their insane mood swings, oversized head, ugly face, and treating their children and anyone else they see as subservient to them in ways convenient only for themselves. Also, in the anime, when she was about to take Moscato's lifeforce, she briefly took on a face that resembled the Cheshire Cat's. During Linlin's rampage through Sweet City due to craving croquembouche, she climbed a tower, roared, and waved her other hand in rage, similar to the famous actions of King Kong. Given her ability to grant life to anything she wishes, along with the power to control the weather fusing her special homies, Linlin likely gives reference to the concept of Mother Nature. Linlin was first issued a bounty at the age of six, making her the youngest known individual to ever have a bounty placed on their head. The second youngest is Nico Robin who gained her first bounty as an eight-year-old. She currently has the second highest known bounty in the world and the highest known bounty for a female character at 4,388,000,000. In her bounty of 4,388,000,000, the 8-8 can be reads as ha-ha. 母 (haha) means "mother", which could refer to her epithet, "Big Mom" (ビッグ・マム, Biggu Mamu?). Linlin is the only member of the original Four Emperors to not have any visible scars. Linlin's parenting style starkly contrasts with that of Whitebeard; while Newgate cherishes his unrelated subordinates as his children and is willing to wage a war just to save one of them, Linlin uses her biological children as soldiers and is willing to kill them if they displease her. Her style is similar to that of Kaidou, who desires to use his only son as a pawn to his scheme. In the seventh popularity poll, Linlin ranked at 86th place, currently making her the least popular of the Four Emperors. Eustass Kid was the first character shown using Linlin's epithet and he was also the first character shown to defeat her in the series, alongside Trafalgar Law. Despite being among the original Four Emperors, Kaidou interestingly did not include her among the few who would fight him. Said people being Gol D. Roger, Edward Newgate, Rocks D. Xebec, Kouzuki Oden, and Shanks (Possibly, because of the alliance they had formed to find One Piece). Before being stripped of her title as one of the Four Emperors, Linlin was the only female member of the group. Linlin's favorite food is sweet confectioneries, and her least favorite food is licorice. Linlin's animal resemblance is a boar. Linlin's hobbies are hosting tea parties and collecting rare beasts.
