Led by Charlotte Linlin, the Big Mom Pirates are a powerful and infamous crew whose total capture bounty on its members reaches 10,251,500,000 Berrys. 💰 Such a bounty demonstrates the dangerousness and threat that this crew represents in the eyes of the World Government. In addition, he is the main antagonist of the Tougato Arc and is one of the major antagonists in the Four Emperors saga. Its stronghold is located on the island of Tougato (Whole Cake Island) in the Totto Land archipelago which is a powerful nation over which their captain Charlotte Linlin reigns. Discover this terrifying crew with us through this article.
Captain Charlotte Linlin
At the head of this crew, we find the only woman who is a member of the legendary four Emperors, Charlotte Linlin aka Big Mom . This crew is structured from and around the Charlotte Family which therefore consists of Linlin herself as matriarch and her 85 children including 46 sons and 39 daughters. Furthermore, note that Big Mom keeps marrying 👰🏼 powerful men to make them allies and, at the same time, increase the strength of her crew. Moreover, his children themselves get married and their husbands and wives come to join this large family.
As queen of Totto Land, she has the ambition to transform this archipelago into a utopian universe where all races could live together in harmony, without any form of segregation or discrimination of any kind. Let us quickly note that it was the Supernovae Eustass Kid who revealed his pseudonym Big Mom at the end of the famous Battle of Marine Ford. As for his real name, it was revealed by the starfish Pappug on the homeland of the Fish-Men and the Mermaids, Fish-Man Island.
Devil Fruit Soru Soru no Mi
Charlotte Linlin ate a Paramecia type Devil Fruit called Soru Soru no Mi. The latter gives him the ability to interact with the souls of human beings and manipulate them as he wishes. In particular, she has the possibility of removing the souls of her victims by capturing them in the form of a substance and thus reducing their lifespan. She then absorbs these souls into herself and if she removes enough pieces of soul from the person's body, the person does not survive. ⚰️ Thus, Big Mom can easily overcome an opponent just by removing pieces of their soul and shorten their lifespan by up to several years or even kill them. Subsequently, Charlotte Linlin has the possibility of inserting these souls into an inanimate object so that it comes to life or into an animal to transform it into a human. These new beings are called Homies. Thanks to these, the Soru Soru no Mi user can be present in several places at the same time.
Another possibility with this Devil Fruit is to create black humanoid beings called incarnations and whose task will be to absorb souls. Charlotte Linlin uses this power in this case to allow people to live in Totto Land by offering six months of their lives. It is his incarnations who collect the pieces of these people's souls. Note that Soru Soru no Mi has similarities with Kage Kage no Mi , with the difference that the user does not have the possibility of injecting souls either into corpses or into a human. Furthermore, Soru Soru no Mi has weaknesses other than those classic to all Devil Fruits. First of all, its effectiveness is less on people who have no fear of death. This was particularly the case with Jinbe "The Sea Paladin", member and helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates . Another of its weaknesses is that the Homies created from this Devil Fruit, but which do not come from the soul of Charlotte Linlin, are weak against the power of the Fruit of Resurrection or Yomi Yomi no Mi. Furthermore, these Homies can also faint in the event the user externalizes their soul. Finally, note that this Devil Fruit was previously in the possession of Mother Caramel aka Yamamba, the witch 🧙🏼♀️ of the mountains, who was part of the Shadow Community or the Underworld and was a trafficker of orphans. She notably took care of Charlotte Linlin when she was young in her orphanage called La Bergerie.
Sweet Generals
As described previously, the Big Mom Pirates is structured around her family, and more precisely around her children who make up a major part of her crew. Thus, Charlotte Linlin established three of her children as senior officers 👮🏼♂️ in her entire fleet, they represent the highest authority within her crew, with the exception of the Captain herself. They were also chosen for the respect they arouse among other members and their combat skills better than those of the others. These three characters were named the Three Sweet Commanders, which translates into French as the Three Sweet Generals . They have the highest capture bounties revealed to date in the series, demonstrating the level of threat they pose to the World Government. Note that there were previously four Generals Sucrés, the fourth being Charlotte Snack, the 25th son and 44th child of the Charlotte Family. Unfortunately, he was stripped of his position after being defeated by Urouge the Mad Monk during the timeskip. For the current Three Sweet Generals, these are:
Charlotte Cracker aka Cracker with a Thousand Arms
10th son and 15th child of the great Charlotte Family, he is the oldest of the triplets made up of Charlotte Custard and Charlotte Angel. In addition to being one of the Three Sweet Commanders, he is also Minister Biscuit and governs Biscuit Island, one of the 34 islands forming the Totto Land archipelago and neighboring Whole Cake Island. His task is in particular to supervise the production and distribution of biscuits to all those who need them. Given his position within the crew, his power must be considerable. He is also terribly feared by the Homies as well as by his subordinate Randolph aka Crane Fighter who is a rabbit 🐇 Homie. His capture bonus amounts to 860,000,000 Berrys and during the ellipse he defeated the Supernovae Urouge who had beaten Charlotte Snack, the fourth Sweet Commander. Big Mom places great confidence in Cracker's abilities to defeat Luffy even though he had beaten Don Quixote Doflamingo. In terms of powers, Cracker has an ability similar to Haki of Kings but which is not really if we are to believe Monkey D. Luffy.
Furthermore, he masters Observation Haki and Armament Haki with which he strengthens his swords, his armor and his shield. 🛡️ Still according to Luffy, Cracker's Combat Fluid is the most impressive he has had to deal with to date. We can even say that his Armament Haki was more powerful than Luffy's at certain times since he managed to injure him while the Straw Hat pirate was using his Gear Fourth. Cracker is also the holder of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Bisu Bisu no Mi. The latter allows him to create a whole bunch of cookies and give them the appearance he wants. These biscuits can be used as armor or soldiers. He notably has several pieces of bisque armor and is often seen in giant armor made of bisque as can be seen on his capture notice. Thanks to the power of his Devil Fruit, 👿 he is also able to create shields made of cookies. To finish with this character, he has a large double-edged sword as a weapon. Having a cookie-shaped hilt and called Pretzel, this sword is the same size as him and he considers it unique and unparalleled. He also has great skill in the handling of this sword and, despite his large size, he manages to attack with great speed without any problem. Note that his biscuit soldiers wield one, or even several, replicas of his Pretzel sword also made with biscuit.
Charlotte Smoothie
Charlotte Smoothie : she is the 14th daughter and 35th child of the Charlotte Family. She is the fruit of the union between Charlotte Linlin and a member of the Long-Legs Tribe, 🦵🏼 which makes her a hybrid. She has two triplet sisters, namely Charlotte Citron and Charlotte Cinnamon, of whom she is the eldest. Smoothie rules 100% Island on the Totto Land Archipelago as Minister of Juice. Note that even if she has great respect for her mother, she is also terrified of her, especially when Big Mom has a food crisis. The World Government sees Charlotte Smoothie as a great threat as her bounty reaches 932,000,000 Berrys. You should know that Smoothie's physical strength is equal to his height. She can lift a normal-sized person with one hand and then crush them by squeezing them with both hands 🙌🏼 with great ease. Added to this, she ate the Shibo Shibo no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit which makes her a Desiccant Human and allows her to completely drain a living being of its bodily fluids.
These then become juice that can be consumed and whose taste would be delicious according to those who took it. This power is not limited to living beings, but also concerns inanimate objects and materials as when Smoothie dried up a volcanic rock to make a glass of lava which she offered to drink to her guests. Additionally, she can also use this ability on herself to remove poison from her body. She can also absorb liquids from her targets to increase her size and become a giant. And if she consumes a huge amount of juice, she can bring out the juice like destructive blades. Like Charlotte Cracker, she is proficient in both Weaponry Haki and Observation Haki. As a weapon, Smoothie carries a sword ⚔️ on his back which gives him the ability to attack his opponents from afar.
Charlotte Katakuri
Charlotte Katakuri : this is the 2nd son and 3rd child of Charlotte Linlin's family. Like the two previous Generals Sucrés, he is part of a triplet with his two brothers Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Daifaku and of which he is the oldest of the three. He administers Wheat Island 🌽 as Minister of Flour. Being very loyal to his mother, he is ready to do anything to protect her and to get rid of all those who threaten her. He represents a great threat to the World Government, hence his extremely high bounty of 1,057,000,000 Berrys. Admittedly, even Capone "Gang" Bege who is one of Eleven Supernavoe thinks he is an extreme threat.
Furthermore, the other members of the crew believe that Katakuri is the strongest of the Three Sweet Generals. As proof, he managed to easily and without damage beat Vinsmoke Ichiji aka Sparking Red, the eldest son of the Vinsmoke Family and commander of the paramilitary organization Germa 66 even though he possesses superhuman strength having been genetically modified. 🦿 Another proof of his power is that he was able to master Carrot, the Mink rabbit who is part of the Musketeers and Royal Bird Unit, in a single blow while she has lightning speed and uses the technique of Electro. Katakuri's physical strength, speed, and precision are so monstrous that he is able to throw jelly beans as if they were real bullets and kill people even from very far away. His speed in attacking is such that even Luffy being an expert in Observation Haki could not react in time.
Katakuri consumed the Mochi Mochino Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit , which gives him the ability to create Mochi, control it, or even transform into Mochi as much as he wants. This power allows him to create balls of jelly, but also to extend his legs in order to trap his opponents. He has also improved the abilities of his Devil Fruit; he is now able to change inorganic materials into mochi, giving him better range for his attacks and a better capture range. In addition, he knows how to master the three types of Hakis known to date.
Moreover, his Observation Haki is so developed that he is able to see into the future as when he discovered a revenge plot targeting his mother Big Mom before it happened a few seconds later . With his Weaponry Haki, he managed to injure Monkey D. Luffy by impregnating his mochi leg with Combat Fluid. Additionally, when he uses his Zan Giri Mochi technique, his Haki becomes like flames 🔥 like Big Mom's Haki and Luffy's Gear Fourth. Katakuri is also capable of calling on the Royal Fluid as when he released an incredible burst of Haki of Kings at the same time as Luffy in order to knock out Charlotte Flampe who wanted to reveal everything about the Totto Land Archipelago.
Fighters
Aside from the Sweet Generals, other members of Big Mom's crew have a special position. These fighters have quite high capture bounties, with some exceeding 100,000,000 Berrys and even reaching 400,000,000 Berrys. Their tasks are divided according to the pieces of a chess game:
- The Towers are responsible for protecting important events like Big Mom's famous Tea Parties. We therefore think of Capone Bege who occupied the rank of Tour before he revolted and sought to kill his mother-in-law Charlotte Linlin.
- Then comes the rank of Riders 🏇🏼 occupied by some like Baron Tamago who comes from the Long Legs Tribe. With his colleague the lion Mink Pekoms, he is notably in charge of collecting tons of candy that the inhabitants of the underwater island of the Fishmen must pay monthly in exchange for the protection of Charlotte Linlin and without which they risk to be annihilated. Big Mom also entrusted him with the security of the Treasury room with Charlotte Smoothie.
- Then there are the Fools like Bobbin aka the Radical or the Repairman . The latter was responsible for burning down an island which was unable to deliver the ten tons of candy expected monthly by Big Mom. He accomplished his mission brilliantly with other comrades at his side.
The same goes for the Homies who are part of Big Mom's rabid army and whose role is to protect the treasure room. Depending on their power, they embody a piece of a chess game ranging from a simple pawn to a king:
- Pawn Soldiers ♟️ having a pink heart-shaped shield. They constitute the infantry and serve as scouts.
- Mad Soldiers who have a yellow tile-shaped shield. They also serve as infantry.
- With their blue spade-shaped shield, the Cavalier Soldiers also constitute the infantry.
- Like the previous ones, the Tower Soldiers with their green clover-shaped shield serve as an infantry troop.
- Then we find those who lead the different infantry troops, the Queen Soldiers. Another of his tasks is to report crucial information to ministers.
- Finally, there are the King Soldiers 🤴🏼 who serve Big Mom and report important information to her. They are also responsible for carrying Mother Caramel's photo during major events such as Tea Parties.
The Homies
As was said above, Homies are objects or animals that have been transformed by the person who ate the Soru Soru no Mi and are incarnations of it. Almost anyone can become a Homie from the moment they receive a soul fragment instilled by Big Mom. These can be inanimate objects (furniture, boats, buildings, etc.), plants or animals and even pieces of the ground, mountains, or even weather phenomena (clouds, sun, rainbows). -sky, etc.). The Homies created by Charlotte Linlin cannot revolt against her. Furthermore, Big Mom called upon the power of her Devil Fruit to create three special Homies:
- Zeus, the Black Cloud that she can summon with her left hand. This is the lightning cloud 🌩️ which is capable of causing storms in association with another special Homie: Prometheus. In the past, these two Homies had already caused a raging storm that was thrown at the Urouge Depraved Monk Pirates. Zeus is able to create terrible storms with lightning bolts, but also to pour syrup. His strength is so great that he is able to carry Big Mom through the air.
- Prometheus, the Sun Homie can be summoned by Big Mom with her right hand. This is a big yellow sun 🌞 made from a piece of Charlotte Linlin's soul. He is therefore more powerful than other classic Homies. He is capable of flying and producing flames as well as extremely powerful explosions. His power is such that he managed to damage Vinskome Reiju even though she had her special Raid Suit outfit on. Prometheus is also capable of increasing his size to become gigantic and annihilate everything in his path, including King Baum, the enormous Homie tree monarch of the Forest of Temptation located on Tougato Island.
- Napoleon, a homie hat 🎩 in the shape of a pink bicorne worn by Charlotte Linlin on the head. First of all, he has the distinction of owning a piece of Big Mom's soul. His will is strong enough to be able to resist the power of the Resurrection Fruit or Yomi Yomi no Mi eaten by Brook the Hummingbird. Another of his abilities is being able to pick up signals coming from the Whole Cake Castle in Sweet City, the capital of the Totto Island Archiple. He can then relay any information received from the other Homies to Big Mom. Inside this bicorne there is also a sword that can be retracted and that Big Mom can grab at any time to fight. Napoleon can also use it himself to attack.
Subordinates
Apart from all those already mentioned, the Big Mom Pirates have many other famous subordinate crews. This is particularly the case of the Sun Pirates Crew, composed entirely of Fishmen and whose captain was none other than the former Corsair Captain Jinbe "The Paladin of the Seas" . 🌊 There was also the Firetank Crew whose captain, Capone "Gang" Bege, married Charlotte Chiffon, the 22nd daughter and 52nd child of the Charlotte Family. Note that if Jinbe subsequently became the helmsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, Capone Bege rebelled against Big Mom and wanted to assassinate her. Let's also not forget to talk about the paramilitary organization under the orders of the Vinsmoke Family, the Germa 66, which was to become subordinate to the Big Mom Pirates. However, this wait was only a set-up on the part of the Emperor who wanted to exterminate all the commanders of Germa and monopolize all of their technology and military power.
Jolly Roger from the Big Mom crew
The Big Mom Pirates features a pirate flag 🏴☠️ depicting a skull with a fluffy background, representing Big Mom's hair, and candy canes crisscrossing the back instead of the classic bones. We notice in particular a candy cane on the right and three others stacked on the left. This skull displays thick red lips and wears a pirate tricorn hat. Note also that a crown is placed on the head of the bow of Big Mom's ship, and over this crown, we can notice a kind of cake and candles.
Like the members of the Whitebeard Pirates , the Big Mom Pirates have a less sophisticated Jolly Roger. It's just a skull with crossbones on the back. However, the difference lies in the still-present big lips. It should also be noted that Charlotte Linlin also has a personal Jolly Roger which is unique. It sits atop his tricorn and shows a rather classic skull with crisscrossing bones and several swirling flame-like designs. Subsequently, when Big Mom's appearance has been fully revealed, we notice a completely different Jolly Roger on her living hat (Homie). This time, the latter showed swords instead of crossbones. As for the skull, its eyes have pupils and an open mouth. On the other hand, we don't know if this Jolly Roger is a completely different concept or if it is simply another hat.
Crew ships
Queen Mama Singing
The current main ship of the Big Mom Pirates is a homie called Queen Mama Chanter . Indeed, it was originally a completely normal ship, but after absorbing a fragment of an inhabitant's soul, it became a homie ship with a human attitude. It is a gigantic and imposing ship being twenty times larger than the Thousand Sunny . On the one hand, this boat looks suspiciously like a giant cake 🎂 (which is in no way surprising given Big Mom's love of sweets). On the other hand, it's as if the whole ship is alive.
The figurehead has transformed into a clown wearing a tricorn and singing. Likewise, the ship's doors display a face and are capable of opening on their own. The main mast of the Queen Mama Chanter was fitted with three sails. We can see the Jolly Roger of the Big Mom Pirates displayed on the first and on the second we find the name of the latter written in large. As for the third sail, a crown 👑 has been engraved there, certainly to represent the royalty of Charlotte Linlin. This ship includes a main part in the center and two small islets on the sides. In addition, both sides have several cannons.
Perospero's Ship
As Charlotte Linlin's first child and eldest son, Charlotte Perospero has her own ship. And as the Minister of Candy governing Candy Island, the appearance of his ship has been customized following this theme. The figurehead notably resembles a candy 🍬 and the ship's masts were designed like candy canes. Furthermore, the main sail contains the Candy inscription.
Daifuku Ship
This is also the case of the third son and fourth child of the Charlotte Family, namely Charlotte Daifuku . He also has his personal boat whose appearance has been modified according to the theme of the Minister of Beans that he is. We can see on the first sail of his ship and his name written in large.
Bavarian ship
There is also Charlotte Bavarian , the twenty-sixth son and 45th child of the Charlotte Family, who also has her personal ship at her disposal. The latter was personalized according to its appearance. The figurehead is displayed with a head wearing a cap 🧢 like Bavarian and on one of the ship's sails his name is also written.
Custard Ship
Named Charlotte Custard , the sixth daughter and 16th child of the Charlotte Family is also in possession of her own ship, the appearance of which has been copied from hers. The figurehead shows the face of a smiling young woman with the same hairstyle and hair color as Custard. On her hair was placed a flower 🌸 like she wears on her own hair. Like the others, the main sail of his ship has his name written in large letters.
Mona Lisa's ship
The 27th daughter and the 59th child of the Charlotte Family are called Charlotte Mona Lisa and she also has her own personal ship. As a simple pirate, his ship was customized to his own appearance. The figurehead displays a head wearing a knight's helmet ⛑️ with a long spike at the top like Mona Lisa herself wears.
Pies
The Big Mom Pirates also have at their disposal several small ships that they have named Pies and which actually look like pies with different fruits. They are numbered and the word Tarte is also written on their shell. Their first sail also includes Big Mom's Jolly Roger. Each of these ships is equipped with several cannons which allow them to sink any enemy ship.
The Story of Big Mom's Crew
The story of the Big Mom Pirates began more than sixty years ago. It all began when six-year-old Charlotte Linlin met a former pirate named Streusen. The latter is the first member who joined Big Mom to be its Head Chef after he witnessed the disappearance of the children 👧🏼 from the Sheepfold as well as Mother Caramel during Linlin's birthday party. This is how the Big Mom Pirates was born. Subsequently, while pursuing her utopian dream of creating a world without discrimination or segregation, she also sought to transform her family into giants so that she could look down on people. To achieve this, she offered herself the services of a scientist named César Clown so that he could carry out experiments on the giantification of human beings. Unfortunately, the research led to nothing and Caesar Clown vanished with all the money entrusted to him by the Emperor.
Subsequently, during the two-year timeskip, four pirate crews ☠️ part of the group called the Worst Generation tried to invade the Totto Land Archipelago but in vain. The first three were the Eustass Kidd Crew, the On-Air Crew led by Scratchmen Apoo and the Depraved Monks Crew of Urouge known as the Mad Monk . Unfortunately, these three crews had to turn back as quickly as they came without even having had the chance to be in front of the Emperor. As for the fourth crew, it is the Fire Tank Crew whose captain Capone "Gang" Bege bowed to Big Mom after marrying one of the latter's daughters, Charlotte Chiffon.
In the Fish-Man Island Arc, Big Mom agreed to take on the role of protector of the inhabitants of this island in place of Yonkô Whitebeard, in exchange for ten tons of cakes every month. However, she is not more concerned about the fate of the Ryugu Kingdom when it was attacked by the New Fish-Men Pirates wanting to overthrow King Neptune. 🔱 And when Big Mom became angry after learning that the Ryugu Kingdom could not pay their monthly payment in cakes, it was Luffy who challenged her through the snails and declared war on her.
It is then in the Punk Hazard, Dressrosa and Zo Arcs that we find Pekoms and Tamago, members of the Big Mom Pirates as they pursued the scientist 👨🏼🔬 Caesar Clown after he failed in his searched and fled. Having known that the latter was on the Thousand Sunny, they attacked the Mugiwara, but the latter managed to escape. It was finally on the island of Zo that Capone Bege managed to capture Caesar while taking Sanji with him so that he could attend the wedding of one of Charlotte Linlin's daughters with a member of the Vinsmoke Family from which he originated. the cook of the Straw Hat Pirates . Then comes the Tougato Arc where the entire Big Mom Pirates clashed with Luffy and his companions who came to rescue Sanji. The latter were first captured even though Luffy had decimated a good part of Big Mom's army. Then they were freed by Jinbe who has a strong desire to leave Charlotte Linlin's crew. The entire crew gathered together, helped by Jinbe, decides to defeat the Emperor during the party in honor of the planned wedding 💒. Various events ensue which undermine the plan hatched by Luffy and his companions. Following this, numerous clashes took place between Luffy and his allies against Big Mom and the members of her crew. In the end, Big Mom's pirates were unable to kill the Vinsmoke or prevent the Mugiwara from escaping.
