Did Oda .. just introduce a bathing scene, for the sake of one? And that too ... no peeking jokes. I was waiting for one to happen.

Lola's history is interesting, but it still doesn't explain why Big Mom doesn't remember Lola. Wonder why she didn't want to marry a giant?

New Chapter.
Big Mom's weakness ... a photo? It reminds me of a novel - the picture of Julian Grey. A guy puts his soul in a painting and he remains young forever, while the painting grows old.

Hmmm... as a preparation chapter, things feel really tense. Luffy was too calm during that meeting. I mean, it actually looked like he was listening!

Can't even begin to imagine how things will fall apart.

Luffy is here to kick ass and eat cake, and you're about to be out of cake!

Also, didn't expect another 180 out of Pudding

The 180 out of Pudding or Sanji? A bit of both, if you ask me. I kind-of wish the wedding does go through now! Oh Sanji, we should have expected you to pull off something like this.

Though... the bit about Pudding's ... secret (or her shame of it) is a surprise. Was not expecting even Big Mom to have something (= low opinion) like that.

A thought just occurs to me - there is a senior and extremely well-connected member of the press at the wedding. And Straw Hat Luffy, among all people just made an appearance. At the end of it all, how might this be reported? Hmm... a public notification that the fishman (forgot his name, dammit!) switched sides? That Straw Hat is full of surprises and a danger to the world?

Or a bigger question - will Big Mom retain her title as one of the four yonko? Hmm.... knowing Luffy, he'll try to take her on. And IF he wins (can't tell if he has plot armor this time), would he become a yonko himself?

The 7 warriors of the sea thing is something sanctioned by the World Government. But the four yonko? They seem independent as far as I can tell.

...Okay, the moment the Bird guy said Mom's power works on those who fear death, my first thought was "Then it will NEVER work on Luffy"

I can't decide who is more crazy - Beige or Luffy!

Sanji's father ... no. I did not expect THAT reaction out of him. It feels out-of-character.

Probably the first time things haven't gone his way. Probably a few moments short of complaining it isn't fair.

And Beige, that's the most Shounen quote I've seen in a long time

I actually missed that chapter. Whoops! Either that, or my short term memory is in trouble!

Thanks! :)

New chapter up and...why am I thinking Big Mom's Mom is related to Dr Kureha

For the rest of us.

And we get confirmation that Big Mom was a giant. Or at least related to them. I'm ... not sure if it was ever brought up in our discussions or not. HAVE we talked about it?

The Dr Kureha - was that one who taught Chopper? Might be possible, but the face doesn't seem familiar enough to me.

Chapter's up. Looks like Big Mom's always been a monster, just that this mother was more tolerant of her than most.

Thanks for the link!

A giant-kin of sorts who couldn't control her hunger? Sheesq. Didn't expect THAT.

And now we know why Mother Caramel was so tolerant of Big Mom.

Urk!

THAT was not something I expected. Big Mom destroying the rockets herself and their escape route in the process. A castle in the middle of everything? This is getting wild!!!!

On a parallel note, what do you think happened to Caramel? I'm beginning to think that we're being implied that Big Mom ate her, abeit unknowingly. The head chef obviously knows, but is keeping quiet.

Well, Big Mom started being able to use Caramel's power just after she disappeared. There is just no time for the fruit to appear again. So we have to suppose that by eating Caramel, Big Mom unknowingly did whatever Blackbeard did to Whitebeard's corpse to get his demon fruit power. Which probably implies to eat an organ.
