ONE PIECE GOLDIn this theory we will discuss about Big Mom, one of the Yonkous, and her abilities and powers.
First off, let’s take a look at Oda-san reason on giving Devil Fruit abilities on his female characters.
If it’s too small to read, Oda stated that all the Devil Fruits that she assigned to his female characters are relevant to women’s real daily life.
So looking into it, I decided to go into a different theory about Big Mom’s ability, primarily I was so adamant that Big Mom got the “Witch” or “Witchcarft” fruit but I was taken aback because of a couple of things:
- Does women really do witchcraft?
- I can’t see a Zoan or Paramecia “Witch”
And it should have something to do with her name of being a “mom”.
So I came to a conclusion that while the motiff of Big Mom’s character and pirate crew revolves around “fairy tales” like Hansel & Gretel and Alice in Wonderland, (which is also a mother stereotype, telling fairy tales to their children upon going to sleep) it is a possibility that Big Mom’s ability is different from her supposedly “witch” persona.
Let’s look at the hints given by the manga.
- Big Mom basically “eats” her crewmembers, with her crewmembers supposedly, not dying even though they are inside of her.
- Big Mom’s saliva is assumed as “acidic”, because it fizzes the floor when her drool fell on it.
- Big Mom’s island is made of “Cake”, basically her whole ship is made of biscuits, cookies and candies (hence the Hansel and Gretel reference)
- Big Mom loves candies, and her character seems to revolves mostly around eating or gulping down people (or things)
- Big Mom’s character design, I assume, is based from old British or Victoria era.
- Big Mom’s real name is Charlotte Linlin.
Now, with those hints, I would like to give another possibility about her drool, instead of it being acidic (since Magellan’s fruit got those properties already), I would say her drools’ effect is like this.
I’m not talking about the “Leidenfrost Effect”, of course, I am talking about the water or basically, “boiling water”, which sizzles when poured (in the case of the video, the pan is sizzling, I know but you get the idea…I believe Big Mom’s drool is boiling hot.)
Now, moving to Big Mam’s real name, Charlotte Linlin, Charlotte is a dead giveaway of her being designed after the “Victorian Era”.
With her surname “Linlin”, Lin or Rin means Phosporus in Japanese Language, which is what “Phosporus Matches” are made of, usually used in the kitchen when cooking.
It also meant “Venus” which is basically the Goddess of Beauty in Roman Mythology, even Venus the planet is generally associated with women.
Now, with the hints I have given and Big Mom liking candies, eating and her being a “Mom”, I think her ability is a dead giveaway.
Big Mom got either of the following: “Oven”, “Stove”, “Cooking” or basically “Kitchen” fruit.
Probably her ability is to “Bake”, “Boil”, “Deep Fry” etc. and oh yeah, I believe she can make “Gingerbread Army” if she really got this ability, which also relates back to her “Fairy Tail” reference.
Again reverse reference from Oda, instead of a “Mom” telling the fairy tail, its the “Evil Witch” which is present in almost all fairy tales.
In my next theory I would detail the players of the “Big Mom Saga” which are all connected to fairy tales.
Now, as I said, Big Mom is a witch who got the “Kitchen” Fruit., in her jolly roger, it got a “tree” which represents the witch, the tree is the forest the witch lives in, basically the wood represents witch in many ways, you know it so I won’t need to expand on it anymore.
The candy swirl in there obviously is her addiction to eating.
So basically, its the higher version of Wapol’s Baku-Baku no Mi.
