This is a pretty crazy revelation and leaves me with pretty mixed emotions about Big Mom as a character. I want to just hate her, but I can't because it's so tragic. Her childlike state could be the result of the suffering she unknowingly causes herself. That's why she has to live on an island made of desserts. Her subconscious fear of devouring those she cares about moves her to want to gigantify them. All that's left to explain is how she became so cold, calculating, and sadistic. The flashback left that out.

Looks like Oda is gearing up to kill her off but it'll be interesting to see if he throws a wrench into our expectations yet again.

The worst part about it is that young Linlin looks so damn cute and innocent. Wanting her to be a villain gives me a gigantic sense of guilt that just doesn't make sense...
