Hello once again everyone and welcome back to yet another theory for your entertainment. This time I shall be discussing the money problems of Big Mom and her connection to WB.

Before I start, have you noticed that Big Mom is the only yonko who seemingly has no quarrels with other yonko? So far in the series, Whitebeard, Blackbeard, Shanks and Kaido all has quarrels with each other. Not only that, Whitebeard and Shanks don’t care about pillaging, Blackbeard and Kaido wants to turn the world upside down and Big Mom is completely gray; she seems to be pure business. Even the islands she protects is a matter of business.

Back to the main topic, money seems to be a key theme with Big Mam. She lent money to Caesar for his research.

Two of Big Mom’s ships has been destroyed and apparently she and her crew needed alot of cash to get them fixed, directly hinting struggling finances.

And no we have Miss Bakking who only looks at money……do I even need to explain her similarities to Big Mam and her crew? If you do, I’m seriously questioning your perception….

Now then, Miss Bakking is obviously apart or was apart of Big Mam’s crew, but why is she traveling around with Edward Weeble? This brings up 3 questions:

1. Why is Miss Bakking and Weeble playing off as WB’s son and spouse?

Because WB and Big Mam had an alliance due to marriage. Pay attention to rings on Big Mam’s and Bakking’s fingers(and bracelets…lots of Jewelry)

Now look at the jewelry and hat that one of WB’s pirate allies is wearing.

This elderly woman’s name is Elmy and she is an infamous NW captain and was in an alliance with WB. Not a member, just an ally. She was loyal enough to help WB rescue Ace and attend their funerals. Now does it makes sense that both Big Mam and WB are called “mama and papa” by their crew members? Not only that, have you noticed that there are no female fighters in WB’s main crew? Could just be his overprotective nature(daddy’s little girl).

Anyways, why would Big Mom have a marriage alliance with WB? Who knows….maybe because she wanted Fishman Island sweets but because it was WB’s territory, she couldn’t strong-arm them to a satisfactory degree unless she made an alliance with WB? After WB died, Big Mam took control of Fishman Island for them sweets.

2. Why is Miss Bakking obsessed with money?

I have 2 reasons why: either Miss Bakking is in charge of collecting Big Mom’s funds(Bakking means “fine” or “penalty”) or she has her own agenda. I’m more inclined to believe in the latter because why would Big Mom target the WB remnants for money? Sure she may spend alot but she can just raid a town for cash.

3. Who IS Edward Weevil?

For starters, Weevil only became known to the world during the two years the SHs were absent. Weevil’s 480 million bounty is the result of defeating WB allies and causing civilian casualties. Also, WB allies were only defeated because their disputes with Weevil got out of hand. Miss Bakking never planned on Weevil becoming a shichibukai, but

PURE SPECULATION
The day Weevil was revealed, I said Weevil was a modified human due to his stitches similar to Absalom. The only person we know of that can modify human bodies is Doctor Hogback so did Weevil come from Thriller Bark? Did Miss Bakking give Moriah Lola in exchange for Weevil? Did Moriah and Bakking plan everything from the get go? Does this explain why Moriah was so pressed about WB in Marineford?

CONCLUSION and FINAL THOUGHTS
-I believe Miss Bakking and Weevil will show up at the tea party
-Big Mom seems to have problems with money and the SHs have a member who is very good with that

-WB and Big Mom were in an alliance but since WB is dead, Miss Bakking is collecting the payment and is currently after Luffy to find Marco.

-I think Moriah would return sometime during the tea party

-Nami has Big Mam’s vivre card so will that play a role in the future?

-Lastly, Big Mom is after Luffy because he owes her candy. Big Mom is all business and hates people who doesn’t keep their end of the deal.

-Lastly, I think Weevil is going to become an ally of Luffy. Doesn’t Miss Bakking and Weevil seem familiar?

And who stopped them?

Little is known about what Shanks can do, as he has not been seen heavily engaged in battle yet; however, as a member of the Yonko in the New World, his raw physical power is immense, and is known to be one of the four strongest pirates in the world. Shanks did not fear Whitebeard, the world’s strongest pirate, and even had enough strength to clash with him, whereas some pirate captains quivered at the mere mention of Whitebeard’s name. Rockstar also used his captain’s name to convey to Whitebeard the importance of the letter he delivered to him. It was also stated by the Gorosei that he is one of the few people capable of stopping Teach. Admiral Akainu fought through many men and a fewShichibukai to get to Luffy, but when Shanks appeared, he did not challenge the Yonko.

He appears to be an excellent swimmer as well, having reached the young Luffy out in the middle of the sea before the Sea King could devour him. According to Buggy, as a young man, Shanks was a strong fighter and, had it not been for his ideals, he (Buggy) would have wanted him on his crew.

As a member of the Yonko, Shanks’ name alone commands great power, as Buggy himself proved; his assertion that he previously had a “brotherly bond” with Shanks was one of the many things that earned him respect from the Impel Down inmates. In addition, Buggy did not shy from using the names of Shanks and his previous captain, Gol D. Roger, to maintain his respect among them. Even the fact Buggy was seen back talking to Shanks was seen as a testament of Buggy’s own power to the former prisoners, not aware that the two had always acted like this and mistakenly thinking that it was because Buggy was not afraid of a Yonko. Shanks commands enough power to end the war at Marineford with just words; when he stated there was to be no more fighting, no one stepped up to challenge him, even though the Marines were fired up after the death of Ace and Whitebeard.

When Shanks offered to fight the very overconfident and pompous Blackbeard (who moments before had boasted about destroying the island and taking down Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Garp after having already killed Whitebeard), Blackbeard declined and decided to leave, as it was too soon for he and his crew to take on Shanks.

Furthermore, when Shanks requested that Whitebeard’s and Portgas D. Ace’s dignity at death not be violated, Sengoku himself decided to call off the war and offered to take responsibility, showing that despite being a pirate, Shanks has earned Sengoku’s respect, something that no pirate other than Whitebeard is known to have achieved.

Shanks is usually portrayed as a swordsman. Shanks was capable of swimming ten years ago, meaning that he did not consume any Devil Fruit at the time when he was a rival to Mihawk.

While his use of his swordsmanship skills was only briefly shown, the fact that he was able to match a blow from Whitebeard with only one arm is a clear indication of the strength he puts behind his attacks. Shanks is also powerful enough to stop Akainu’s magma fist using his sword and Busoshoku Haki. Since Mihawk is classified as the world’s greatest swordsman, and Shanks is a former rival of his, it can be assumed that Shanks is an extremely proficient swordsman.

Shanks appears to have favored his left arm before he lost it, as he is always seen holding his sword in his left hand during flashbacks.

Shanks can utilize at least two of the three types of Haki. Shanks has shown mastery over the two types of Haki he has used. Even Whitebeard complimented Shanks for his Haki when he used it on his “visit”.

When Shanks and Whitebeard clashed with their weapons, the “heavens” above them split, hinting at the incredible Busoshoku Haki that the Yonko had imbued in them.

During the Battle of Marineford, he was able to imbue Busoshoku Haki into his sword to block a Logiaattack.

Shanks is capable of using Haoshoku Haki, an ability that only one in a million people can use.

After saving Luffy from a Sea King, Shanks was able to frighten it off with a single angry glare using this ability. Later, while Shanks was boarding Whitebeard’s ship for their meeting, a large amount of Whitebeard’s crew (experienced men who have survived in the New World) lapsed into unconsciousness and the ship itself began to take damage from Shanks’s mere presence. Whitebeard’s men attributed this to his superior Haki.

Oda mentioned in a SBS that Shanks could have knocked out all 100,000 pirates and fishmen opposing the Straw Hats during theFishman Island Arc with his Haoshoku Haki (Luffy managed to overwhelm 50,000).

So far, Shanks has only wielded a sword in combat. His sword is a large saber with a single edge blade and a large hand guard.

Shanks wielded two different swords during his time as an apprentice pirate aboard Gol D. Roger’s ship and during his stay in Luffy’s hometown.

The Holy Land Mariejois is the capital of the World Government and functions as the primary path which individuals seeking to enter the other, far more tumultuous and dangerous side of the Grand Line, the New World, pass through. This route is open only to persons within the jurisdiction of the law; in other words, Marines and World Government agents. This elegant capital furthermore serves as the headquarters of the World Goverment, the main governing body of the One Piece world. Mariejois’ significance and unrivaled importance is also illustrated by the fact that the Reverie meets here on a regular basis in order to discuss current international events and propose and implement solutions.

The Holy Land of Mariejois shows a very strong resemblance to the Château de Chambord, located in France. It is one of the world’s most recognizable châteaux because of its distinct French Renaissance architecture which was never completed. It was constructed by King François I.
