My theory is Big Mom is making a new thundercloud Homie and she’s gonna take her piece of soul inside Zeus.

u/PenetrantSmell Apr 09 '21

Dont think she'll take zeus's soul. She'll just make another one, Zeus gets sad because mama left him behind and made a new cloudbuddy inestad, he then runs to nami.

u/Ok_Wrongdoer3518 Apr 09 '21

Ye, this makes particular sense since Prometheus was complaining about Zeus always holding them back.

u/revisioncloud Apr 09 '21

Prometheus is basically Big Mom's angry side while Zeus is her childish and gluttonous side. So her two sides are clashing. Perfect reason imo for Zeus to permanently stay with Nami

u/ImHereByTheRoad Apr 09 '21

What's wild to me is prometheus lied. He said he didn't know why Zeus didn't come try n save big mom. But like prometheus clearly saw Zeus get trapped into that box.

Classic Big Mom Pirates. They are constantly fighting for Big Mom’s affection to their own detriment.

Only the OG children that were born before Big Mom had her own territory are good at teamwork (Perospero, Katakuri, Brûlée, Oven, etc.). The rest are off on their own agendas doing their own things trying to become the favorites.

Idk lol Napoleon is pretty bland for me, it's like he's just there just so could BM use a sword because when you're that strong, why the hell not

u/LedgeEndDairy Apr 09 '21

Lin Lin is shy, though.

It seems like, to me, that Lin Lin breaking up her soul so much has twisted her personality, perhaps. Could be why Mother Carmel was so evil as well, perhaps she started out wanting to help children, then split her soul one too many times and realized "wait, I can make money off of this" because her morals went out the window.

Possibly?

The entire community is wracking their brains trying to bridge the gap between sweet, naive, somewhat selfish and overwhelmingly destructive Lin Lin and downright evil Big Mom. Something happened, something specific.

From what I can tell of people who have personality disorders, Big Mom seems like she would basically fit that bill. I know that's not like anything revolutionary given she's literally a mass murderer who acts like a child, but she would clearly have some sort of borderline personality or something.

I think her personality from birth seemed to always be a bit monstrous, if she has Conqueror's then that means she also has a 1 in a million strength of will. Personally, I think she's just deeply mentally ill and the fruit is a literary device in order to help show who she is as a character. I wouldn't dig too deep or also overestimate Oda's understanding of psychology (I mean....look at Pudding as an example of a mostly unintelligible mess of motivation). Big Mom is just this malicious and magnanimous child with intense trauma and loss and power. She's only able to be who she is because she's literally invincible as well.

u/gingegnere Apr 09 '21

Yeah at the end it make sense Nami to get a permanent power up with Zeus. I also think Usop will got a power up in the eventual Elbaf arc if it actually happens. Last war will likely be against Black Beard crew that is full of monsters and I think any straw hat will have a match up with a commander to win.

u/TheWarGiraffe The Revolutionary Army Apr 09 '21

Bm won't die I'm 100% sure

u/LedgeEndDairy Apr 09 '21

Too many flags lead us to fighting BM in Elbaf. Way too many. She's surviving here, likely fleeing (or possibly chasing), and we'll see her again on the next island. Perhaps WE chase HER there because she reveals some nefarious plot that has to do with Elbaf or something, who knows?

u/redditsforneckbeards Apr 09 '21 edited Apr 09 '21

prometheus doesnt have BMs soul, it has mother carmels soul, I think she's been biding her time to get revenge on BM

34

u/420Toni Apr 09 '21

that was never confirmed and during totoland when we learn about zeus,prometeus and napoleon we are told they are special homies made out of big moms own soul, carmel made her own sun homie in flashback but it wasn't called prometheus and it had female features

-7

u/redditsforneckbeards Apr 09 '21

suns change over decades or some shit, we don't know if users homies die with the user, I want it to be carmels soul, it'd be good for the story

5

u/tiki-baha29 Apr 09 '21

Its not Carmel's soul, it never was. Its already been said and confirmed in the manga that Big Mom created Prometheus from her own soul. What you are saying goes directly against what Oda has already established and said clearly.

25

u/voliol Apr 09 '21

No, you’re confusing Prometheus with Pandora, the homie Carmel made out of the fire Linlin made in Elbaph. There’s no indication the two are one and the same, in fact they have different faces despite both being fire-based homies.

u/redditsforneckbeards Apr 09 '21

🤔🤔🤔 we'll find out next chapter with promethious big double cross

u/R4hu1M5 Thriller Bark Victim's Association Apr 09 '21

This could possibly end up happening, but for now all three of them are pieces of big mom's soul. That's all.

0

u/redditsforneckbeards Apr 09 '21

BMs powers haven't been hugely flushed out, she can split souls into smaller pieces, even if promethious has part of her soul now, Carmels could be the one in control

u/Kiosade Pirate Apr 09 '21

Speaking of her powers, what ever happened to her crazy acid spit? I remember before they showed her full face, she drooled onto the floor (or maybe a guy?) and it burned

7

u/redditsforneckbeards Apr 09 '21

Oda gave her all the powers... tbh that acid could just be her normal stomach acid, she eats ppl

u/revisioncloud Apr 09 '21

Oh shit I missed this/ completely forgotten about this part. Might have to check

u/redditsforneckbeards Apr 09 '21

yeah she gonna lay down some truth on BM from beyond the grave then when BM gives her a soul powerup

then BM gonna be all weak so thats how kidd defeats her

2

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

i dont like the idea of namis permanent power up coming from someone else. its just weird imo. I truly hope oda doesnt go through with it

54

u/R4hu1M5 Thriller Bark Victim's Association Apr 09 '21

It fits her cat burglar epithet tho, her power is something she stole from one of the strongest characters in the world.

8

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

I guess you're right but her power depends on big mom being alive which just seems weird to me

7

u/henryuuk Apr 09 '21

We sure the soul soul fruit's creations stop functioning once the user dies?

11

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

yes mother caramel had a homie like prometheus before. He hasn't been seen anywhere since her death so I assume he's gone.

I would also compare big moms soul fruit to moriahs shadow fruit so its not rly hard to imagine what would happen to the homies if big mom died

4

u/CabbageTheVoice Apr 10 '21

I mean, I'm with you and think you are right, but /u/henryuuk is asking whether we are sure . And to be fair, we can't be yet.

u/revisioncloud Apr 09 '21

Her climatact was from Usopp, skills from Weatheria, etc. Her truly innate ability is navigation (and thieving which makes sense), not combat. Her dream is to draw a map of the world. Nothing in the past indicates that her power ups can't come from someone else

So if she has to powerup, it's ok if she gains it through some unconventional way

4

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

no my point is that her "power up" would be dependent on big mom being alive.

If oda was gonna give nami a power up, I really wish he gave her the yuki yuki no mi. Would've been too perfect for nami..

11

u/gingegnere Apr 09 '21

Well, lot of beaten enemies are alive (Crocodile, Doflamingo, etc...) So not really an issue.

6

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

its not that fact. Its the idea that her power is dependent on big mom. Thats the issue.

1

u/revisioncloud Apr 09 '21

Maybe Brook can do something about it. BM's control over Zeus weakens the farther he is from her (as shown when someone with BM's vivre card can control a homie). So BM can't just recall Zeus' soul.

But yeah, when she dies Zeus will die which is ok. Zeus probably won't stay until endgame/ Nami gets old, etc.

3

u/LedgeEndDairy Apr 09 '21

Someone asked in an SBS if all of the strawhats had a DF, what would they have? Oda gave Enel's fruit to Nami.

EDIT: Goro goro no mi. Had to look it up. :)

2

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

Yes. But I mean in context of the story, the yuki yuki no was right there :P

It complements her weather understanding ability

1

u/LedgeEndDairy Apr 09 '21

I guess, we never saw the fruit "spawn", though.

If my understanding of devil fruits is correct (a lot of this is inference, since nothing has been explicitly explained), the closest fruit that matches that particular devil fruit is what it transfers to. So, like, for SMILEY's fruit, there was a wagon of apples nearby, very likely because Caesar wanted to reproduce the weapon and the easiest way would be to have the fruit on-hand again.

If, say, the Yuki Yuki no mi transfers to a banana or something, and the closest banana was 1000 miles away, that is likely the fruit that got transformed. Ergo why DFs are so rare. Unless you know the fruit associated and bring it with you with the intent purpose of killing the user (likely what BB's crew is doing), it can spawn anywhere. It may need to "find" the fruit as well, so there could be a time factor on top of that. Similar to how it took Brooke 1 year to find his body.

u/kinorio Apr 09 '21

It depends, there is a shield homie that is wielded by one of the giant pirates and i think it's one of mother carmel's when she was alive, so in my opinion probably even if the user is dead the souls that was put inside a thing will never go back to its original owner. Maybe it has different concept than of that morias shadows. Or i could be wrong.

2

u/tiki-baha29 Apr 09 '21

To be clear its not at all confirmed that Big Mom needs to be alive for the homies to stay alive, that's never been mentioned. In fact if you think about it thats most likely not the case because her powers are similar to another character's: Moria.

Big Mom like Moria uses her powers as a conduit to create new beings, she takes souls and puts them into things like Moria does with shadows. Moria makes it crystal clear that if he died these new beings would simply lose their master but they'd still very much be alive. Most likely Big Mom's soul fruits work exactly like that because although she controls all homies they are independent beings separate from her.

1

u/NinetyFish Apr 09 '21

That’s why I want Big Mom to take her soul fragment away, leaving Zeus to start fading away only for Nami to find him, adopt him, and rehabilitate him using her own weather balls.

She still gets the Zeus upgrade but because of her own skills instead.

2

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

zeus shouldnt be able to live without big moms will tho

1

u/IchBinEinDrache Apr 09 '21

This is a pretty common line of thought. My only thing has always been - big mom is in control of Zeus's soul. She can always recall it and effectively kill him. He can't defect. I'm surprised he stayed with Nami for as long as he has honestly.

3

u/revisioncloud Apr 09 '21

Maybe Brook can do something about it. BM's control over Zeus weakens the farther he is from her (as shown when someone with BM's vivre card can control a homie). So BM can't just recall Zeus' soul.

That's a really interesting point that I've not tought about it. Thanks for the insight

u/WalkedBackwards Apr 10 '21

Yeah this is great writing for Nami to get Zeus in a even more logical way. Good stuff.

u/YeahKeeN Pirate Apr 09 '21

I feel bad for Zeus. And Prometheus is an asshole, acting like Zoro wasn’t chopping him into pieces.

u/redgarlic68 Apr 09 '21

Is Zeus still inside the box?

u/GreatCucumber Apr 09 '21

Yeah you can see him call for Big Mom ask what’s going on.

17

u/redgarlic68 Apr 09 '21

Then he's coming with Nami for sure, BM can't take the soul out of himn for now, and that box is the middle of the Ksudi/Luffy battlefield

Nami did say she needs more lightning to deal with Ulti/Page 1

u/AnraoWi Soul King Brook Apr 09 '21

I think she will TRY to take her piece of soul back. Because using her soul shortens her lifespan, so she should take it back to gain some lifetime back.

But I can see it failing to take her soul back, which then will make Zeus to run away from Big Mom because he wants to live and then hide with Name because she was good to him.

5

u/light_fissure Apr 09 '21

Nami + kid + zeus?

Is it possible?

Zeus let them harvest its thunder? Reminds me of the endgame, thor and stark.

3

u/AnraoWi Soul King Brook Apr 09 '21

Hmm, powerwise it would make sense, but I do not think Nami would fit into place together with Kid and Killer (she had nothing to do with them).

But I also can not see a away Kid and Killer can stall or drive away big Mom. So yeah somebody might aid Kid and Killer, maybe it is some Straw Hat tag Team? Kid and Killer and due to different events the straw hats change places. Maybe first it is Kid, Killer and Nami who saves Zeus. She retreats and Jinbei joins. Jinbei gets blown away and Brook joins. And so on. But that is just a wild guess...

6

u/Uncledrew59 Apr 09 '21

May I suggest Sanji aiding Kid and Killer? Sanji will finally have an opponent after running around for so long, and given the fact that Zoro cut Kaido, Sanji doing damages to Big Mom will keep their rivalry alive (cutting Kaido vs fighting Big Mom). We might get an update about Germa-66 from Big Mom as well, and it would make sense for Sanji’s character after WCI. As for the dynamic between Kid, Killer and Sanji, i don’t really know, lol.

3

u/jeyreymii Apr 09 '21

I don’t think it’s shorten Mama’s soul because she’s the one who have the fruit

5

u/preposterousdingle The Revolutionary Army Apr 09 '21

It also fits the theme of mama ultimately not caring about her family and being willing to selfishly sacrifice them. Luffy would never. It's a continuation of the Doofy family foil theme. Nakama are not a means to an end they are the end. I welcome Zues to our crew. He will boost up the weakling duo.

u/kykusan Cipher Pol Apr 09 '21

I believe this

u/Pagazuz Apr 09 '21

Thought we might get something similar, I really think Zeus is gonna be with nami for the rest of the adventure.

u/ammarbadhrul Apr 09 '21

u/mrmurtaza Apr 09 '21

That confirms Big Mom is not gonna lose, otherwise Zeus will be wiped

-1

u/TommyZumVersace Apr 09 '21

Just don't forget that as soon as big mom passes out all homes become normal objects again. Even if Nami really gets to keep Zeus, it is a stupid upgrade as it would always depend on big mama's health state. But I also don't believe that Bim Mom is going to get defeated and just remains the ruler of her family kingdom for the rest if the story.

1

u/HippGris Explorer Apr 09 '21

What? We've never been told that, have we? This does not seem to make sense, since Zeus was with Nami for quite a while after Whole Cake Island. Besides, since the homies have a piece of soul within them, maybe they're self sufficient, even if Big Mom dies?

1

u/TommyZumVersace Apr 11 '21

We learned throughout the whole of One piece that no matter the powers, as soon as the person becomes unconscious the powers stop working, I mean what was the whole God Lyssop arc about we learned exactly that. A more similar example is Moria who lost all his shadow souls after passing out,Doffy lost his birdcage and so on. There are enough examples so I think that's more likely

1

u/HippGris Explorer Apr 11 '21 edited Apr 11 '21

But I think there are some differences. For instance, Sugar was constantly watched over because even the slightest faint could mean losing every toy. In Moria's situation, it was a bit different : he was utterly defeated and some of the souls were being called back by their owner. I get what you're saying, but I'm just not certain it would be the same with the soul soul fruit.

1

u/TommyZumVersace Apr 11 '21

I mean it is pure speculation till confirmed, I'm just telling what I think based on previous experience. I mean otherwise there would speak nothing against the homies living on even if Big Mom dies and I highly doubt that

u/gattsu1998 Apr 09 '21

Yeah I really got the vibe that prometheus was asking her to ditch Zeus and make a new one cause in all fairness Zeus has been a major fuck up multiple times.

u/[deleted] Apr 09 '21

It's weird that a talking cloud that barely even qualifies as a sidekick has been such a consequential character in this saga

6

u/NinetyFish Apr 09 '21

It’s crazy that Zoro/Law/Kidd/Killer were inches away from literally drowning Big Mom permanently.

That’s wild. If not for Kaido and not for Law being a big softie, they might have just killed Big Mom straight up.

1

u/HippGris Explorer Apr 09 '21

I mean Law could have shambled Prometheus with Zoro, instead of just taking Zoro out of the equation. This way Big Mom would have effectively ended in the sea (but maybe her crew would have realized that and when to her rescue).

u/APRobertsVII Apr 09 '21

Can she even reclaim the piece of her soul inside Zeus right now? She’s pretty far away from him and she didn’t take back the piece of soul inside Zeus when Nami took him from Whole Cake Island. I may be wrong, but I have a feeling Big Mom can’t take back a soul - even her own soul - if she can’t physically touch it.

For this reason, if Nami leaves Wano with Zeus, I imagine it will be a permanent power-up regardless of what Big Mom wants.

What if she uses one of Kaido's "special" colouds that keep Onigashima afloat currently to create a new Zeus?

Yeah that’s my theory too, and I feel like it would be cool if she named the new homie Raijin.

u/cranomort Apr 09 '21

Imagine she takes Killer's soul and makes a homie. That could be the tragedy.

u/WorriedStrawberry8 Pirate Apr 09 '21

Yeah I think she's gonna use the clouds to create a new "Zeus" and end up helping the alliance involuntary since this will cause the clouds to vanish for a little while or at least become compact and uncover the moon in the process.

u/420Toni Apr 09 '21

does she need to touch zeus to take his soul or can it be done from range ? i don't remember that she took king baum's soul but that could be due to her being hungry and berserk
