Big Mom has never actually lost a fight in the series so far so I don't know where you'd get this as an example

I mean hasn't she only even taken damage once? And yeah, it was when she got caught off guard and Queen landed on her head, which didn't even really hurt her so much as make her temporarily much nicer.

She doesn't generally take damage, but she still kind of jobs. She gets knocked overboard by King and thrown around by Robin, for instance, and the Straw Hats escape from her on multiple occasions. Kaidou isn't like that; whenever he fights Luffy, Luffy gets knocked out, and he never ineffectually chases around Chopper or Robin.

It really doesn't seem like Big Mom is being taken out here, there's basically no focus being put on her and as has been pointed out she's pretty much being kept at bay without taking any actual damage, so my guess is that after Kaido's defeat she'll bargain with Luffy for territory rights over Wano and Fishman Island.

Haki is tied to a person's willpower and emotions. Kaido was weakened when the samurai was fighting him due to sensing Oden's will through them, making his scar ache and likewise Enma is able to cut him. Big mom is similarly emotionally weakened when Mother Carmel's picture is shattered, which brings her to tears.

I am seriously having trouble trying to think of anyone else in the entire series who has been worf'd more than Jack. We've been told he's strong many times and he keeps going up against some powerful folks, but his only win so far was back when he attacked Zou, and even then ended with his crew wiped out and him taking a dirt nap on the bottom of the ocean for a week.

Also, when he attacked Zou, the only reason he won was because he used Caesar's instant debilitation war crime gas since otherwise the minks were slowly but surely beating all of his forces.

neither Big Mom nor Luffy seem like the bargaining types to me.. I mean Big Mom I guess will do that sort of thing, but only when the circumstances are so lopsided in her favor that the other side are basically subjugated and at her mercy - "You give us what we want and we won't kill you" sort of bargains. With Kaido and Big Mom I can't see either of them being sidelined. Either Luffy (or his companions) kill them or they will keep being a nuisance.

Conclusion of Big Mom's arc may happen in Elbaf and involve Usopp since he's been built up to be an ally of giants and Big Mom really really really wants to make amends with giants. A lot of Big Mom's techniques are references to Elbaf, like the spear of Elbaf, or that double tech technique she did with Kaido that was really similar to the one performed by Dorry and Brogy, and Usopp has been notably absent/humorously miss Big Mom whenever she appears.

I think the main point is Usopp's never been around when Big Mom used Giant techniques nor was he there to hear her backstory about how she's obsessed with Giants.

is it completely insane to think that king's race (lunalians) are just the birkans

big mom says they're gone / destroyed, we know enel destroyed birka and big mom has no reason to know that his little gang is still alive

and the three non-giant races she's missing could jsut be the skypieans, birkans and shandorians

Pretty sure it's not just Haki switching off. I think her actual physical muscles are loosening.

I mean, bargain was maybe doing some heavy lifting there. Perhaps more like Shanks and Whitebeard squaring off, but jumping straight to the fighting and screaming at each other because Luffy definitely isn't like Shanks, followed by Big Mom begrudgingly storming off and promising that it isn't over between them.

urouge has birkan wings and defeated one of her subordinates so shes at least heard of one

i think its more likely lunarians are a single race that split apart, and birkans, skypeians, etc are all tribes of the lunarian race

so if King is a Lunarian and they used to exist but not anymore then Im has to be some kind of alien or descendant of aliens that took over the world right? I'm becoming more and more convinced that's what the void century was


What if devil fruits making you unable to swim was intentional to prevent people from diving and finding ruins after the world got flooded? that's max crackpot theory though, just coming up with stuff

my theory still remains that the people that inhabited the lower part of the world had devil fruits and the world government flooded the planet. hence the need for an ark in fishman island and possibly why zunesha is cursed to roam around the planet since the world is too flooded to do anything. we actually saw something similar happen in long ring long island. water counters devil fruits, so it was easier to defeat the users by just... filling the world with water. this is why mary geoise is on the highest part of the world -- to survive a global flood.

If anyone in the series is a Worf, it's the Smoker and Tashigi team. Their one win was immediately undone by Dragon showing up and just saying NOPE. Despite that, they've repeatedly been promoted and are presented every time as being super strong.


Why would anyone want to display a figure of the second most hateable guy in a 20 year saga? Even if you just, for some godforsaken reason, like the aesthetic, Ric Flair figurines are by far the better pick. I'm pretty sure they come with multiple fabulous robes you can switch out.
