One Piece Manga |OT3| Anything You Can Gum I Can Gum Better

Damn at Mother Caramel. That is messed up but I liked the twist.

Linlin legit just ate all of them and obtained Mother caramel's Devil Fruit powers lol. Big Mama will never get over something like that because she has no way of figuring out what really happened. I like the fairy tale vibes from his whole thing.

Great chapter.

What the hell, Mother Caramel? You're selling an orphan every 2 years? Just one every 2 years?

I can't imagine how much she's getting paid for that to be a worthwhile ROI.

What? I mean your selling vice admiral level people you're gonna get paid. I mean the majority of people in the world are ordinary AF, getting guaranteed strong people is totally worth it to the Marines. Ow much could it cost to raise some orphans anyway in the one piece world.

Veelk prioritues is in check

Also she seems to sell the strongest child out of the orphans to the kids and since of them is a giant vice admiral she probably gets enough money for this, a lot since Vice admirals are at least as strong as pirate captains. She would have been set for life for this one final score and was three days from retirement if she was able to sell a potential admiral

Well, you have a point, since this is One Piece world so lol at living costs.

Still, just trying to think about it logistically, you have housing, food for multiple people (especially with how big mom eats), doctor check ups (you need to keep them healthy after all), basic home needs. Education if they have that in OP.

I would understand it more if she sold the other children the marines don't buy into slavery or something, but the chapter implies she just routinely has a whole orphanages for which she only actually uses one kid with huge intervals inbetween.

It just doesn't seem financially sound, or it wouldn't if this wasn't OP. She should be selling way more orphans, is my point.

Even if you were spoiled yesterday (on purpose or not), this was a creepy chapter.

And do some people still think One Piece is for children or teenagers?

So now we know for sure that there won't be any ceasefire nor befriending nor BM redemption, right?

BM has a mental illness since childhood, because of that she ate his mother without realizing it, the "abandonment" traumatized her, and worse of all learning the truth would be even more sadistic(though it's not like if someone knows it anyways).

Quite sad, she is the most tragic character in one piece imo.

If all DLC came tied to $13 figurines, I'd consider all DLC to be free
Good chapter - that whole Big Mom situation is kinda messed up...she really needs help.

And do some people still think One Piece is for children or teenagers?

Yeah ?
Obv. not only for them but yeah.

It is for children and teens lol. Doesn't mean you can't enjoy it, but that is its target demographic.

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.
Darkest chapter! Darkest chapter! At least one of them.

That does seem to explain how Zeus and Prometheus came into being. A towering inferno given life and reshaped into a mini-sun, and possibly a massive storm cloud.

Eating the human for Devil Fruit powers just adds all kinds of layers of unsettling. If that's what Teach did to Whitebeard, I can't imagine how he figured it out.
Best Attack on Titan arc yet!

well she is not that child anymore,before she was unintentionally evil..now she is like that on purpose.

it is
it's just that the japanese are not that fixated on "protecting the children" as a part of the western world is .

Soooo.....long as you eat someone whole you get their powers?

I don't think that's the case, if Teach did eat part of Whitebeard to get the Tremor Tremor Fruit power then they wouldn't have a body to bury.

But then Teach could have done something else.

You know, Caramel must have been alive when she was eaten by Big Mom because when a devil fruit user dies, their power is transferred to the nearest fruit. I mean, I suppose it's possible there was a fruit nearby that Big Mom also ate in her rampage, but it's more likely that Caramel was just digested alive inside of Big Mom.

I think the better question would be if people still thought One Piece was lighthearted. Which it is obviously often is, but yea, sometimes shit gets dark. That said, it's long since had its dark moments, this chapter just kicked it up a notch is all.

Holy shit, she freaking ate everyone that's insane. She definetely is the scariest character by far and I'm surprised this allows someone to get
DF powers.

So right now there are four ways to get the power, eating the fruit itself, eating the artificial fruit from Smile, eating the person with the power and the BB method. We will only get the full explanation of BB method and the artificial method with Vegapunk's arc though.

Two things

I'm sure Oda sneaked some now famous child into the orphans, one that survived and knows what happened

When she learns what happened... Omg I can't imagine the reaction

This, Caramel was eaten and there is no doubt about it. But someone has to have survived and will probably do something important sooner than later.

Or maybe a cp0 agent was monitoring nearby, though that would be cheaper.

I doubt blackbeard ate whitebeard, the ytheory of drinking his blood when the fruit is still not transferred or something seems more likely imo.

Maybe you just have to eat someone's stomach or heart or something.
Like Blackbeard could've eaten one of the organs and stitched him back up.

If she really did eat them all, wouldn't there be more blood and bits about?
I guess its implied that's what happened, but it somehow seems more ambiguous.

Eh I doubt that gore isn't one pieces speciality. There's been cuts and holes and blood but I can't imagine a panel full of disembodied limbs and blood splattered about..but than again there was a panel with a hospital on fire with a pile of dead children so what do I kno

Why do you think she only sells one child? On the one panel where they sing binks sake she even says to herself 'i will sell every last one of you to the government'

She also said she was retiring from the orphan selling business.
Got to offload them somehow.
