The Strawhats will beat up Germa66 and big Mom will say something along the lines of "Well, they sucked. How about you still marry my daughter and we ally with each other against Kaidou instead?".

That would imply she was allying with them solely or mainly for their physical strength. Which is doubtful.

Their physical and military strength is inconsequential to someone like Big Mom. The political power of people who can get a wanted poster changed to "Wanted Alive" however is useful.

Yes, and the Strawhats don't have that kind of political clout. Which is why I said it was doubtful she'd just take their defeat in stride and ask the Strawhats to be her allies instead.

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

I watched a clip of the anime on Monet's death and what the hell they played the sad music for it they usually use for flashback arcs. Was that supposed to be sad???

for a good time watch at 2x speed

Also the comments are amazing I never realized Monet had a posse

man why did i click this to watch the scene again. i HATE watching ladies die

I hate that bitch Clown.....he is the worst...he killed Monet how sad..Law that bitch! Oda that wasn't funny -_-



A lot of people put the blame on Caeser too which is extra great. There's apparently a lot of "Maybe she survived" and "She should have joined the crew"

Edit: I hope these guys broke out into tears when Baby 5 wasn't killed off

Why do people rember monet
Why did they want her as a new crew memeber
Maybe since she was the least crap thing about punk hazard?
I thought she was crap

And i think the same of this current rabbit woman

I say interesting in the sense she could presumably fly around and stuff (so not very, I guess), but there was no build up to anything or any indication that there would be in regards to her appearing after Punk Hazard.

But have you considered her titties? Because that's why she's so very important and it's so depressing she died.

Vergo was a way better character, and in the list of people to be sad about dying on Punk Hazard he's far above her on the list. Like 79 spaces below the last blade of grass destroyed by Franky-Monster Chopper, but still higher than Monet.

Choppers doctoring isn't much use in an active fight but I'd forgotten about Sanjis sister. I guess it'll be a case of her or Caesar. We'll probably get another Enel-face when he tries to pull out his Trump card of them needing his abilities and they say "nah that's what she's for have fun with Big Mam" and peace out

Vergo was the only one of the 4 commanders to not be outshined by subordinates. Gladius, Sugar and Baby 5 were the best of Dressrosa.

The lady who stuffs souls into things and controls them wanting the vinsmokes for any reason other than their army of soulless super soldier clones seems.. unlikely.

Are the clone soldiers actually soulless? They're genetically brainwashed, but that's not the same thing.

Even if the Germa clones have souls, they could probably make soulless ones for Big Mom.

Can the clone soldiers wield haki if they don't have souls?

If they do not have souls, can Conqueror Haki have an effect on them

No chance on the former, they don't have ambition and could not care about anything enough to generate haki. On the latter I have to assume being mass produced would mean their fortitude is relatively weak, I'd be very surprised if Luffy couldn't instantly take them all out.

Chopper worked with Caesar to counteract the gas and save the minks, so I don't think it's too much of a stretch to assume Chopper can handle it.

Political power which they aren't likely to keep once the government learns they've joined forces with an emperor.

Doflamingo kept dealing with Kaidou by secret and still kept his shichibukai-dom.
Besides we havent seen any WG in Big mom waters, and I bet that would also hold true in other warlord territory.

Yes, nations do tend to lose political power once they gain access to massive military power, it's true.

Sanji's dad pretty much stated that Germa would lose the right to attend the Reverie once word got out they'd allied with Big Mom, but the power they'd gain in return would be absolute.

So make of that what you will.

If I were human, I believe my response would be: 'go to hell'.
Big Mom wants the clone army because she can siphon off their life force and live forever.
