It's up in English

Big Mam's ability looks like she can literally suck the life out of things.
The sentient snack foods are weird but they're likely related to all of the other sentient things on the island. It may be the result of a Fruit user or something about the islands themselves.
Jinbe being part of her crew is a little unexpected, but I imagine it was done to protect Fishman Island from Luffy's provocation. This might foreshadow a fight between Jinbei and one of the Strawhats.


Jinbe has been a member of her crew since we first heard of her back in Fishman Island.

Calling it now, she has the Life-Life fruit and can transfer life force from her children to inanimate objects. That's why she has so many kids... they're basically batteries. Any who don't live up to expectations or don't obey her get drained.

Maybe it's like Moria's power. Take life from one, put it in another. Only you don't have to keep the original alive.

Also, if Big Mam has been siphoning life and is unusually long lived, it would explain how she had time to have so many kids.

also pedro seems like he could know big mom or something after this chapter. could he be the one that let big mom know the strawhats were coming?

There's something really hosed up and dissonant about a happy cartoon sun and cloud pleading with a giant woman to stop eating her entire kingdom.

I feel like Big Mom's fruit is going to be some kind of Matter Eater Lad style "she can eat anything" power, but awakening means that includes intangible concepts like someone's future."

Eggplant Squire

Big Mom's power seems way too dangerous to keep around (much like Sugar) but this is One Piece so it will probably work out.

Also Jimbei is a monster that fed creatures to someone alive despite their pleas for mercy. I guess we'll just have to have Carrot or Pedro as the last Straw Hat oh well.

What in the world is going on on Page 9? She turns her fist into a mouth, throws it and it explodes? I assumed it was a devil fruit power at first but I don't see how that relates at all to sucking the life out of people.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.
Is it wrong to want Carrot over Sanji in the main crew now? I know Sanji's got a lot of history, but he's basically second-best at most things he does. Second best fighter, second best strategist, and his dream was just to see a place with a bunch of fish.

Every Straw Hat crew member needs a tragic backstory, and every new member's backstory needs to be more tragic than the preceding crew members'. What backstory could someone as carefree as Carrot possibly have that's more tragic than Brooke's (the most recent official Straw Hat) or Trafalgar Law's (the most recent unofficial Straw Hat)?

Carrot is fun, but unless there's someone who can actually cook, Luffy will invariably cook all of the food on the ship and fail and leave them starving again

One of the cookie people told Gelato Minister not to show cowardice, or else Big Mom would take his life. Is it possible that's a way to avoid her power? She can only suck life out of you if you're afraid?

It might just be as simple as haki. Just, you know, you can't show force of will while cowering. And haki generically lets you resist devil-fruit powers.
