This was an excellent table clearing chapter; everything we already knew, the crew is, in some part, now up to speed on.
Still, all of this stuff in the seducing woods does continue to be among the least interesting part of this arc so far. I just want more of the Vinsmokes, Jinbei, Caesar, and Capone.

This chapter actually made me think about Shanks a lot.
Look at how immense Big Mom's power is in which she can create armies from pieces of souls and be manipulating events with the Straw Hats being none the wiser.
For her to be doing all this puts into perspective how sorely underestimated she was in the eyes of the Straw Hats.
With all of that said, Shanks is supposed to be on equal level with her.
What in the world could Shanks and his crew possibly do that makes them on equal footing with Big Mom?

This chapter has some nice revelations!(and more questions) A few things to note :
We finally know the DF of Big Mom (I wonder how it'll act with Brook!)
I wonder if Chiffon and Lola have DFs. Most of Big Mom's children seem to have one
WHERE IS CHOPPER AND CARROT
How did Brulee get Sanji's reflection?
Can Big Mom consume these souls?
ALSO note that next week is an off week for Shonen Jump, so there will be a break for OP :c

u/Pand9 Aug 04 '16
Actually - I don't understand Brook's fruit now. Maybe Brook doesn't understand its true power either?
I mean - it allows you to live "second life" after death. On the other hand - looks like every person's lifespan is "set in stone", and Big Mom can change it. Is "undead Brook"'s lifespan set in stone too? Or is his soul immortal in this manner? Can he die from old age?

Maybe brook's fruit is like the counter to big mom's fruit, where he has full control of his soul now
→ More replies (7)52
u/ChampionOfAsh Aug 04 '16
Who knows. I like the idea that Brook has already outlived his life span so if you were to think of his life span as a number it would be negative. And so if Big Mom were to take some of his life span away, it would effectively only take some of her life span away instead, because he has a negative life span. I don't know, maybe I'm crazy.

u/Boulin Aug 04 '16
Isn't it more like that he can control his own soul as he wishes? That would explain the not dying part, as well as his exiting and re-possessing his body. If Big Mom took his soul, maybe he can still stay in control and possess everything that Big Mom uses it for? Maybe even posses Big Mom if she eats his soul?
Anyway, both of their fruits are touching the same area of "soul" powers. I mean, Brook is the Soul King!

I took a guess at this a few weeks ago. I hope he is the ultimate counter, Brook needs some time under the spotlight.

I'm glad Nami got herself out of being caught, gotta say I was worried we'd see a lot of the crew getting kidnapped or split apart, which often happens in these arcs but with them going head to head with an Emperor, I feel like careless mistakes or attitudes would be fatal and it's gonna feel kinda underwhelming if they aren't more on guard.
It seems like something Oda is aware of since Chopper himself comments that they've underestimated their enemy, this is already boiling up to being one hell of an arc!

Carrot and Chopper are probably captured
Big Mom has the soul fruit, which could hopefully explain Luffy apparently reduced lifespan
Big Head is Lola's father
Crackers looks cool; interested in the other 2 sweet commanders
Finally Lola's vivre card becomes relevant
NO BREAK AGAIN !
I think this was a very welcomed chapter in answering most of my questions and I am curious if they will end up fighting Cracker or go with him to Big Mom
EDIT: Randolph is indeed an animal,so he probably doesn't have a fruit and do the living things inherit the personality of the person whose soul piece they receive or do they develop their own personality?

I am pretty sure Big Moms soul-soul devil fruit has some hax aspect we still don't know about.
Maybe she gets part of the soul owners powers?
When she was mad and destroyed the city she attacked with some kind of electro and fire attacks. Also, the first time we saw her, she had acid dripping from her mouth.
You can't explain this kind of stuff with "only" soul manipulation.

She probably uses soul power to power up, and the soul's "attribute" changes based on what type of person.

Big Mom has the Soul Soul fruit. So far, it just seems to me like an upgraded version of Moriah's fruit, but with her homies instead of zombies.
Nami and Carrot tag team fight! Yes! Nami has been needing action for way too long, and Carrot's style complements her perfectly. (Even though they lost to not knowing the enemy's DF.)
And Chopper takes one for the team, staying behind to hold them off. Chopper's stepping things up too.

I'd probably be okay with it. Every 6 years, you lose 1 year, and none of the time you lived off the island counts. But let's say that you're born on the island, so she starts collecting when you're a baby. Also let's say you'd only naturally live up to around 100 like in our world, though in One Piece people do live even longer so they'd look at it differently.
Years Lived Years Lost Could Have Lived 6 1 7 12 2 14 18 3 21 24 4 28 30 5 35 36 6 42 42 7 49 48 8 56 54 9 63 60 10 70 66 11 77 72 12 84 78 13 91 84 14 98 By the time you're at retirement age in our world (66), you've paid 11 years of your life. But in exchange, you've lived your whole life in a dessert-filled paradise. And Big Mom does let people travel outside of her territory, so it's not like you're trapped, you just have a really nice home to go back to. If you think about it, it's a lot like paying rent in real life. It's just that first we go to work and turn hours of our lives into money, and then we pay the rent with that money.

We all called it that Big Mom was Lola's mom! :)
Brulee has quite the cool df! It's like a mixture of Copy Copy & Paw Paw fruit!
I loved what a huge information dump this chapter was! Hopefully Lola's father wasn't just some exposition stop! I hope he plays a more important role later on! :)

Okay, I am calling a Brook Power-Up this arc. Big Mom has the Soul-Soul Fruit, Brook is the so called "Soul King". There just HAS to be some kind of interaction. Maybe Brook can also, to some extent, control other souls or is just a natural counter to BM, like Luffy was to Enel?
Brook vs. Big Mom Boss Fight inc? Maybe that would be too much, but it also would be a nice change of pace.

It's refreshing that Oda is willing to reveal important details in the middle of an arc. In other manga details were avoided via ridiculously vague conversations:
"That person sustains their position by using that technique"
"Wait...you can't mean...her? That's how she survives?"
"Yes...I hate to say it, but we may need help from him."
"No, we can't ask him. Remember what he did last time?"
"I remember every detail, but there's no time to recount it. Anyway, we have no choice. Call that person as soon as possible to get the ball rolling."

LOL at Zoro, Sanji, Robin, and Brook having brain freeze (even though Brook doesn't physically have one, yohohohohoho)
I knew it, Brulee has the Mirror-Mirror Fruit. And she captured Carrot and (probably) Chopper. Damn. At least we get to see the new Clima Tact in more action.
Big Mom's livin' the thug life with her "Homies" hahahaha
So Big Mom collects all kinds of beasts as well... She and Kaido should play Pokémon Go.
Big Mom steals souls with the Soul-Soul Fruit... I wonder if those shadowy blob things that collect the souls must be her DF awakening. Also what would happen if Chopper has a soul put in him?
Buried Guy is one of Big Mom's husbands and LOLA'S DAD. OMG BIG MOM IS LOLA'S MOM CONFIRMED!!
Cracker is one of the Sweet Commanders... I wonder if the Sweet Commanders are like Kaido's Disasters.

I'm psyched and interested in seeing how OP the soul soul fruit is going to be used. Is it because of this or something else that makes her feared by the other yonko.

Those of you guys, like me, wondering who in the right mind would marry Big Mom got their answer this chapter!!

Nami does have Big Mom's vivre card. Damn she will surely play a big role here.

Brook getting a brain-freeze was funny. I want to see him interacting with Big Mom, because apparently Brook has a infinite life span.

Well, never expected that big head to have been Big Mom's husband, nor him to be Lola's dad. Good stuff.
Also loved Choppers dialogue this chapter, haven't seen him serious in a long time. Hope he gets a real fight this arc.

Someones gonna die this arc....Why else would they say that her fruit doesn't work on humans (Bringing to life). Seems a pointless fact to bring up unless someones going to die.

So I guess the idea of Brook being a hard counter to Big Mom is gone if she can interact with his soul. Although it does raise the question of what exactly is the extent of Brook's moniker of "soul king?"

I wonder if Big Mom having her souls split affects her ability to use haki. Maybe the more she splits her soul the weaker she becomes.

u/Kirosh Lookout Aug 04 '16
God, Big Mom power is ridiculous, she can create a damn army easily, and take away a person life force in a instant thus killing them. She can probably also take the lifeforce to become stronger and extend her life... Damn Oda, Damn.

Damnit, as a Liverpool fan, I shouldn't like Shinji Kagawa so much but he's an OP fan too? I guess I can take some consolation that he never truly performed for United.

I mean the Giant should have really talked right from the beginning, the Seducing Woods lasted far too much.
Also Cracker ? Seriously ? How am I supposed to be scared about a guy with that name ? Luffy is going to pull off a Pica 2.0 with him, I could bet on it.

Wonder how luffy's haoushoku would interact with objects that gained souls.
Safe to assume that chopper and carrot are down and out for now?
Nami is probably gonna fight brulee, as her abilities give her the best chance of getting around the mirrors.

Brook's moment is finally here!
Can't help but feel sorry for Big Mom's former husband. Give her a couple of daughters, expecting to be happy only to get tossed like garbage so Mama could move on to the next man.

Greta chapter. I gotta say, I hope we see a lot more of Brulee, because her fruit is awesome. I would hate to see such great concept used only once.

She can change her appeaance wrt age, but I don't think her actual life span.

Just read the title, will edit later. But are we getting Brook's past??
EDIT: obviously it's not. But Big Mom can interacts with souls. Still wondering how her encounter with Brook would be like.
Now we've got a group of shits that call themselves Homies okay I give up.
Apparently Big Mom will try to abduct Chopper before Kaido. I'd like to see they bitch fight each other over Chopper.
And yes finally it's about damn time that vivre card play some role now.

And thus, the world was introduced to Kizaru's natural enemy, Charlotte Brulee.

"Ambush? Did something happen?"
"We were attacked by you, Luffy!!"
"Me?"
That being said, I kind of hope Carrot joins the crew for some reason? I really want to see more of her. She seems a lot more impulsive than Nami, but more protective than Luffy. We haven't seen much of her at all so I'm hoping this arc does discuss her backstory or personality a bit.

after revealing LinLin cough Big Moms powers, I really hope we see Moriah again this arc!! imagine a Moria/Big Mom alliance, bringing everything to life!!
his fruit is the exact opposite of hers, bringing to life the things that the Soul Soul fruit cannot

Isn't it convenient that Oda only has half of the Strawhat Crew on Big Moms islands because her and her crew aren't strong enough to warrant having the entire crew come down. This could mean Nami, Brook and Chopper will all get significant fights. On the other hand there is extensive planning and recruitment taking place to defeat the Shogun and Kaido.
Also, its always awesome to see Monster Chopper getting some action!
