ℹ️️**Notice**This character is a **crossover character** and is therefore **not canon to Glad you Came**

**Charlotte Linlin**, better known as **Big Mom**, is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and was formerly one of the Four Emperors ruling over the New World, as the only female member of that group. She is also the matriarch of the very large Charlotte Family, whose many children make up the infrastructure of her crew. She is also the creator of the unique race of creatures known as Homies, who mainly inhabit all of Totto Land, and happily serve her. Big Mom possesses three special homies, Napoleon, Prometheus, and Zeus, but unhappy with Zeus' continued failures, Big Mom decided to disown and replace him with a new Homie named Hera.

## Statistics

### Alias:

"O-Lin" (おリン, Orin?, English versions: "Olin")

### Epithet:

"Big Mom" (ビッグ・マム, Biggu Mamu?)[14] (Funimation subs (formerly): Big Mam)"Evil Spirit" (悪神, Akujin?)[

## Devil Fruit

### Type:

Paramecia

Big Mom rules over Totto Land as its queen, seeking to form it into a utopia where all the world's races can live together in peace without discrimination or segregation. In her childhood, Linlin was raised in the Sheep's House under Carmel, whose Devil Fruit power she eventually inherited, before co-founding her own pirate crew with Streusen following Carmel's death.

Big Mom was also part of the legendary Rocks Pirates as one of its core members. After clashing against fellow Emperor Kaidou (another ex-member of Rocks' crew), she formed a alliance with Kaidou and the Beasts Pirates with the intention of conquering the world. However, this never came to fruition as their alliance would go on to be defeated by the Ninja-Pirate-Mink-Samurai Alliance. Following her loss in Wano Country to Eustass Kid and Trafalgar Law, the World Economy News Paper released a new listing of the Four Emperors, with Big Mom no longer being included among them anymore.

In Wano, due to being closed off, Linlin's reputation was largely unknown, especially with the more immediate threat, Kaidou, occupying the country. However, after the Raid on Onigashima, due to her monstrous power and ability to spawn "yōkai" from myth, she was accredited in their country's folklore of the event as the "Great Yōkai Oiran" ("妖怪" 大花魁, *"Yōkai" Ō-oiran*?, VIZ: "Great Ghastly Oiran").

Big Mom was the last of the Four Emperors to be named; her epithet was first revealed after the Summit War of Marineford by Eustass Kid and her real name was revealed by Pappag on Fish-Man Island. She is the main antagonist of the Whole Cake Island Arc and the Whole Cake Island Saga as a whole, the secondary antagonist of the second half of the Wano Country Arc, and the secondary antagonist of the Wano Country Saga overall.

## Personality

### Overview

As Carmel noted, Linlin was once a truly kind-hearted little girl. At five years old, Linlin tried to help people and even animals such as a bear and a wolf. However, her benevolent intentions ended up with dangerously violent results due to her monstrous strength and innocent simplicity, as she slapped a bear for devouring a wolf, accidentally killing it in the process. She also fractured a giant's bones while trying to smack a mosquito on him. Linlin even cried in genuine remorse after she accidentally killed the bear. She would also try to "fix" the appearances of her fellow orphans, which was actually attempting to tear off their racial features, being unable to understand the harm she was inflicting. This has carried over to her current situation, as while her dream of creating a country without discrimination is noble, she's willing to use violence and extortion to force people to follow her commands.

While Linlin grew up normally as a kind and innocent little girl, she became more selfish and cruel over time, due to neither Carmel nor Streusen ever bothering to teach her any morals as well as taking advantage of her inhuman strength and naivety.

Despite her age, Linlin has childish tendencies. After capturing Brook, Linlin playfully patted and caressed the living skeleton and carried Brook with her to sleep at night like a teddy bear and cried hysterically when she thought Brook had died. When Carmel's photo was destroyed and shown to her, Linlin even broke down crying like a baby as she recalls the time when she was a five-year-old girl, questioning why Carmel left her behind.

She refers to herself with "ore" (おれ?), an aggressive masculine form of "I", instead of the gender-neutral "watashi" (私?) that most other females use. Like many others, Big Mom has a distinct style of laughing: "Mamamama". However, she has also laughed in a normal "Hahahahahaha" style (occasionally with a drawn-out "Haaaaaaaa" at the beginning,) and has even combined it with her unique laughter in the form of "Haaaaaahahamamamama".

### Gluttony

Big Mom is an extremely gluttonous woman who loves to eat sweets above all else and has all the islands under her protection pay her with metric tons of whatever kind of confectionery or pastry they can produce. Even as a child Linlin was easily persuaded to stay on Elbaf after her parents allowed her to eat as much sweets as she wanted. She is obsessed with sweets to the point of destroying entire countries for failing to deliver them. In fact, she loves her sweets so much that her subordinates or her territory holds less importance compared to it. Despite this, she did not lose control when Luffy claimed to have eaten all the candy that Fish-Man Island owed her; instead, she correctly deduced that he was lying in order to protect Fish-Man Island. Big Mom is particularly fond of wedding cakes, as she ordered a gigantic wedding cake to be made simply as a treat to celebrate the acquisition of the technology of the Germa Kingdom after she slaughtered the Vinsmokes and even when sleeping, she would sleep talk about eating wedding cakes. According to Pudding, Big Mom would even get enraged and destroy the whole wedding hall if anyone made a mess of the wedding cake. When the wedding cake was presented during the ceremony, Big Mom expressed gluttonous joy and excitement to the point that she salivated. True to Pudding's words, Big Mom went berserk after Luffy ruined the wedding cake, to the point of killing several of her chefs when they were unable to make a substitute cake on the spot.

#### Eating Disorder

Big Mom suffers from an unknown disease dubbed as an "Eating Disorder" (食いわずらい, *Kuiwazurai*?) known as **Hunger Pangs** in the Funimation subs, in which she becomes obsessively fixated on a "Sweet Theme", and will go on a crazed rampage in search of the food she wants to eat. She has suffered from this disorder since before she was 5 years old, being the reason she was banished from her home country, and why she is so hated by the giants, due to her destroying one of their villages and killing Jorul during a rampage. While in this state, she will destroy anything and everything in her path, including her castle, her subordinates, and even her own children, until she eats the food she wants. When rampaging, her pupils become crazed and swirly. Once her cravings are satiated, she becomes more affable and retains no memory of her actions during her rampage. Despite having this disorder for most of her life, it seems she is completely unaware of this psychosis.

Big Mom seems to retain a small amount of consciousness in this state, as Perospero managed to convince her to chase after the Straw Hats by lying that they had stolen a spare wedding cake (the food she desired at the time). However, the fact that she bought into such a lie so easily shows she lacks rationality. Her mental instability in this state also means that she's unable to make rational decisions, as shown when she attacked the Thousand Sunny, which she thought was carrying the wedding cake she craved, with a massive tidal wave, even though she could have sunk the ship and ruined the cake. She was also willing to abandon the Thousand Sunny to chase after the Fire Tank Pirates's ship upon seeing them with the cake, despite having the perfect chance to destroy the Straw Hat Crew at the time. She's capable of giving out simple orders to homies to aid her in the pursuit of any perceived targets. However, to some extent, she is capable of recognizing others in this state, as she recognized her daughters Pudding and Chiffon while furiously questioning them for being with the Straw Hats. She also remembered Perospero's claim about the wedding cake, and managed to recall the threat she made to Perospero to kill him if he had lied about the cake.

### Hedonism

Stemming from her love for sweets, Big Mom is extremely fond of having tea parties which she dearly looks forward to from the bottom of her heart as noted by Jinbe. Thus, Big Mom is extremely generous to people who attend her tea parties, joyfully offering a large variety of pastry delicacies and extravagant drinks for them to eat and drink as much as they want and can be murderously enraged if her tea parties are ruined in any way.

She is very jolly when in a good mood and enjoys celebrating the fulfillment of her ambitions with song and dance, but her cheerfulness is tempered with horrendous malice and brutality, as for every Tea Party she held, Linlin sends her subordinates to specific places to plunder unique ingredients for her tea party, while also ordering them to massacre as many people as possible while robbing the ingredients, causing numerous people to end up dead or viciously brutalized in the process. Big Mom has a particular penchant for singing malicious songs in a light-hearted and happy tone, as she sang Bloody Party together with her homies and some musicians of the Big Mom Pirates while planning Pudding's wedding.

### Ambition

Inspired by Carmel's words (though she misunderstood them), Big Mom also desires to create a nation where all races can happily live together due to wanting a "family" comprised of individuals of all races that she can dine with at eye level with via Caesar Clown's gigantification research. Big Mom is so dedicated to this dream that she is willing to invest massive amounts of money in Caesar's research, even building a working replica of Punk Hazard's laboratory in the event that it was destroyed and offering more financial support after Caesar is brought to her with no results; however, her fixation on this dream rendered her oblivious to how Caesar was simply embezzling money from her for his own indulgences. However, no giants live in Totto Land due to them hating Big Mom, especially after a botched arranged marriage when Lola ran away from giant Prince Loki, and Big Mom briefly became enraged when Vinsmoke Judge mentioned them; she has long-since given up on any attempt to reconcile with them. Her obsession with diversity is not just limited towards her family; she also wishes to collect rare and unique animals for her own pleasure, as explained by her eighth daughter who claims that Big Mom would not be satisfied with just having all the races of the world for herself.

### Pride

Big Mom is very arrogant and proud of her status as an Emperor and the queen of Totto Land. Big Mom views herself as superior and is confident enough in her abilities that she does not want any outside help as she berated her second son, Katakuri, for interfering when confronting Luffy. Big Mom also taunts her opponents and looks down on them, as when Luffy, his crew, and his allies were trying to escape, Big Mom called him out for being a coward for going back on his word to defeat her. While Big Mom looks down on anyone who opposes her, she detests anyone who does the same to her, as she was angry at Luffy for talking back at her to not be cocky just because she is an Emperor and when she failed to take Jinbe's lifespan, she was taken aback when he called out he cannot be intimidated by a "mere" Emperor. However, she can regain her composure if there is a situation that she has control of, as while she was frustrated with Luffy talking back to her, she regained her thoughts since he, along with Nami, were still prisoners. While Big Mom views herself as being superior, she apparently does not underestimate her opponents' strength, as she sent Cracker to aid Brûlée in dealing with Luffy and his group since Luffy took down Doflamingo. However, she still sometimes underestimates her opponents as she was shocked that Cracker was defeated. Even when she faced Luffy herself, she laughed when the latter declared he would defeat her after beating Kaidou, still refusing to take him seriously. She is also confident in her Devil Fruit, as when she tried to take Jinbe's lifespan away, she was shocked and confused when it had no effect on him, prompting her to use brute force on him. She is also confident that had she been successful in bringing the giants of Elbaf on her side, she would have been able to eliminate the other Emperors and become the Pirate King.

Big Mom's arrogance also makes her oblivious to the dangers that are presented to her and her crew. While she and a handful of her children traveled to Wano Country for revenge against Luffy, she only came with one ship. Even King commented on how foolish it was to travel to Wano with a single ship.

Big Mom is very proud of her pirate fleet and image. In spite of her arrogance, she does give some appreciation to her enemies. Big Mom praised Brook, in spite of his defeat against her, for harming one of her powerful homies, Prometheus. She even respected Pedro after the latter tried convincing her against taking his lifespan by removing his eye, causing her to take away 50 years off his lifespan instead of 70. Big Mom also holds the strength and abilities of her children and crew highly, as she viewed Pudding's ability to read Poneglyphs with her third eye as an asset. She will get furious if her reputation as an Emperor is diminished in any way, as Big Mom became so furious when Snack and Cracker were defeated that Big Mom created a storm. However, she is not above punishing her crew or children if she feels they had tarnished her reputation as Snack's position as Sweet Commander was revoked after his defeat against Urouge. Big Mom even got furious at Morgans for humiliating her when he wrote an article about her supposed defeat against Luffy where she warned him to watch his back. After her humiliating loss, Big Mom swore revenge against Luffy and his crew to where she stabs his wanted poster to vent out her anger and she argued with Kaidou on who has the right to take Luffy's head.

Big Mom also has no fear of her fellow Emperor and old time acquaintance, Kaidou, despite him being called the Strongest Creature in the World and renowned for his invulnerability. She was unfazed by Kaidou's threats to kill her if she came to Wano, even daring him to try. During her captivity on Onigashima, Big Mom remained authoritative and prideful, urging the Beasts Pirates to keep feeding her and asking King to join her crew despite being cuffed with seastone and him having attacked her ship before.

Despite her arrogance, Big Mom can acknowledge powerful enemies, especially those that manage to heavily damage her. Against Kid and Law, Linlin resorted to sacrificing her lifespan as a sign that she was taking their challenge seriously..

### Business Savvy

When calm and thinking rationally, Big Mom possesses a rather businesslike mindset and strongly believes that a pirate must accept no compromises or delays for something they want. Pappag thinks she is protecting Fish-Man Island with a business perspective since the deals made with the candy qualify as racketeering, though she prioritizes sweets over money and treasure; she initially refused an alternative payment of treasure when Fish-Man Island's monthly candy tribute could not be met, only accepting out of amusement once Monkey D. Luffy openly stood up to and defied her over the payment.

This even extends to her allies and crew; should one of them choose to leave her crew or cut ties with her, Big Mom forces them to give up something precious to them as compensation, uncaring of their reason for leaving to begin with. Similarly, she expects all citizens of Totto Land to sacrifice portions of their lifespan as the price of residing in her country, further illustrating her desire to be compensated for everything she provides. While Big Mom does not take much interest in money and treasures compared to sweets, she does have a strong liking in collecting special treasures that are rare and legendary such as the Tamatebako, as shown when she learned than an intruder broke into her treasure room, her first concern was the Tamatebako.

Big Mom has proven herself to be extremely treacherous and cunning, as she is willing to break promises and betray potential allies to get what she wants. While putting up a fake front of desiring an alliance with the Vinsmoke Family, she has no intention of marrying off one of her favorite daughters, Pudding, to create this alliance. Instead, mother and daughter plotted together to lure the other family in to massacre them during the wedding ceremony, in order for Big Mom to acquire the Germa Kingdom's cloning technology, a feat they intend to achieve by having the kingdom parked within their territory, all the while without needing to give Pudding to the Vinsmoke family. Pudding also claimed that Luffy and Nami are not meant to leave Whole Cake Island alive either, thus showing that Big Mom was intent on breaking her promise with Sanji about sparing their lives in exchange for his cooperation with this wedding. Her seeming willingness to let her crew members go in return for something they possess is also a sham, as she actually demands lifespan amounts beyond what a single person is able to give her, resulting in her killing them and also taking the lifespans of the people closest to that person. Should she somehow not be able to get any lifespan, she will throw out the deal altogether and physically attack the person.

### Selfishness

Big Mom is also immensely selfish and obsessed with power; her marriage of Pudding to Sanji is solely for the sake of gaining access to the advanced combat technology of Germa 66, a process which she is willing to repeat with all her children in order to strengthen her own crew. When a marriage is threatened or annulled, Big Mom will become incredibly angry at the people responsible and aim to kill them mercilessly, even if they are her own children; the larger the power she fails to gain, the angrier she will become. This lust for power stems from her desire to overthrow the other members of the Four Emperors and ultimately become the Pirate King. Big Mom has some interest in the Poneglyphs despite being unable to read them, knowing they are the potential key to Laugh Tale.

Her selfishness also extends to her Tea Parties. While the wedding between Pudding and Sanji was meant to be a joyous occasion for their marriage, the event primarily caters to what Big Mom wants over what Pudding wants. This also extends to her guests, as most of the presents for the wedding are primarily for Big Mom herself with very few for Pudding. She also ignored all of Pudding's ideas for the wedding such as the dress she chose for the event only for Big Mom to choose a dress for her instead.

Another sign of her selfishness is that while she conceived Pudding with her Third-eyed father for the sole purpose of using Pudding's third eye to read Poneglyphs in order to reach Laugh Tale, she still insulted Pudding for her third eye, as seen when she disgustingly called it creepy, and ordered her to grow out her bangs to conceal it, while being completely uncaring of her feelings. She also abducted and forced 43 men including Pound into becoming her husbands and discarded them after conceiving children and even allowed them to be killed. She is also willing to completely disregard her children's wishes on Marriage for the sole sake of strengthening her crew. She seems to recognize others by their lineage first and foremost, as she often speaks of others in terms of their relation to their parents and grandparents. She also deceived Sanji into thinking that she would release his friends after he agreed to marry Pudding, when in reality she intended to assasinate him and also execute his friends.

Linlin apparently does not like to talk about things that are personal and gets angry when people question her. When Judge pointed out that he did not see any giants in Totto Land, Big Mom briefly gave an angry look before dodging the subject by claiming that he overlooked them. When a first time guest asked her about Mother Carmel, she furiously responded to his inquiry by knocking him out with her Haoshoku Haki.

Linlin is also extremely hypocritical. While she hates people who do not keep their promises with her and will resort to ruthlessness towards said individuals, she has shown that she will not hesitate to lie or deceive others just to get what she wants. During her conversation with Jinbe, she states that a pirate should be free to do whatever they want, yet she forced him to pay a huge price which could result in his death and death for his whole crew. She also forces her own children to marry others without taking their feelings into account and refuses to give her crewmates the choice to leave her crew alive.

### Cruelty

An extremely ruthless and unstable woman, Big Mom is infamous for destroying countries over slight infractions (though most often when they fail to make their monthly payment of sweets), disregarding any and all reasons for the failure while rationalizing that she despises people unable to keep their promises, which makes her a hypocrite as Big Mom herself does not keep her own promises. Generally, there are two things she dislikes: bitter treats, and invitees not showing up for her tea party. Demonstrating herself to be immensely brutal, she does not forgive those who refuse invitations to her tea parties, and she will kill people precious to the absentee as a "present". She does not accept excuses of any kind, even if it was given in advance, nor if the reason was as important as attending a loved one's funeral. Even after dealing such traumatizing damage to an absentee, she would still send them an invitation to the next tea party and expect them to attend, as Jigra was given one more even after Big Mom killed his father. Due to her insane brutality, even Caesar, who is dangerously known for his malevolent madness, is extremely terrified of her. Vinsmoke Judge, a ruthless tyrant himself, also considered Linlin a madwoman. Even some of her children such as Brûlée and Opera are deathly fearful of Linlin as they are aware that their mother is capable of ruthlessly slaughtering her own children should they ever defy her. Big Mom particularly enjoyed killing people by taking away their lifespans, claiming it to be her favorite food. She gleefully killed Zepo in this manner and while she spared Pedro from immediate death, she took away up to 50 years of his entire life away, leaving Pedro a few short years left to live. She also tried to kill Jinbe in a similar manner and was extremely enraged when her powers had no effect on him. Her forcing Sanji to attend her Tea Party just to be killed in order to steal the Germa's cloning technology proves her willingness to harm innocent people who have never offended her just to satisfy her selfish ambitions.

When it comes to dealing with enemy pirate crews, Big Mom specifically instructs her children and other subordinates to give her enemies false hope before crushing their spirits as brutally as possible. When Anana wanted knives to cut up her stuffed animal, Big Mom immediately asked two of her sons to bring knives to her. She also encourages and rewards deceitful behavior in her children, as her daughter Charlotte Pudding claims that Big Mom favors and pampers her due to her ability to lie convincingly. On the occasion that she does uphold her promises and deals, if the other party fails to uphold or goes directly against their part in the agreement, Big Mom will display immense rage and will not hesitate to inflict the worst punishment upon them.

Although she has no problem with having her children and subordinates attack her enemies, Big Mom will directly go after anyone who threatens anything extremely important to her, including things like her Poneglyphs and wedding cakes. Should she personally target someone, Big Mom's pride will cause her to get extremely angry if someone prevents her from attacking to the point of pushing the obstacle aside even if it is one of her children.

She coldly discards her husbands once their children are born, never giving them the chance to either hug them or take part in raising them. This is because she considers them "outsiders" to the family, even passing this belief down to her children who do not care for their fathers or step-fathers.

Having been abandoned by her parents and Carmel's "disappearance", Big Mom has severe abandonment issues. She will not allow anyone from either her crew or her country to leave her side alive and will ensure they die rather than leave.

While she claims to desire to bring peace to the world, she enjoyed causing chaos and bloodshed out of sadistic amusement. She laughed wholeheartedly when Kaidou beheaded his long-time ally Orochi without mercy. Additionally, despite her ambition to create a nation where all races can live together, Big Mom herself is not above discrimination as shown by her treatment against her own daughter Pudding for her third eye, which Big Mom herself finds creepy, and even cruelly convinced her to grow her bangs to cover it. She also referred to both Brook and Chopper as nothing more than exotic pets for her collection rather than treating them as actual people.

### Delusions

Big Mom's insanity also extends to her own delusional mentality. Despite her tremendous cruelty and sadism, Big Mom is completely delusional about herself. She considers herself a "kind queen" of her country, despite everything in it being meant to satisfy her own demands over what her children and subjects want. Despite being the most selfish individual herself, Big Mom accuses all people who refuse to comply with her egocentric demands of being selfish and believes she has the right to kill them as punishment. For example, she would cruelly punish invitees to her Tea Parties that were unable to attend, no matter the reasons, and she tried to force her daughter Lola to marry someone she did not want to, still holding a grudge towards her to this day for refusing to marry and running away. Despite many people following her orders, she believes no one listens to her. When crying while thinking of Carmel, Big Mom cursed the Straw Hat Pirates for opposing her by destroying the wedding cake as well as Carmel's portrait, when she was the one who provoked them to begin with by coercing their chef Sanji into becoming a sacrifical pawn in her Vinsmoke's assassination plan by holding Zeff hostage as well as intending to have them killed. After reading the news about Luffy's actions in her territory, she thought the idea of Luffy's victory was absurd even though she had clearly been humiliated by his actions.

### Psychological Crisis

Big Mom is incredibly attached to Carmel, and became deeply heartbroken when the Holy Mother and other orphans of Sheep's House disappeared on her sixth birthday celebration. Her adoration of Carmel is so strong that, more than 60 years after her disappearance, Big Mom still places a portrait of her in front of an empty seat during all Tea Parties. If this portrait is damaged in any way, Big Mom will enter a psychological crisis, falling to her knees in tears and crying for Carmel to return. Unaware of the fact that she was responsible for Carmel's death, Big Mom would wallow in despair at her disappearance during her crisis, questioning where she is and why she disappeared. In this state, Big Mom becomes completely unaware of her surroundings, even when in danger, as seen when Bege attempted to assassinate her.

Although Big Mom's emotional distress at Carmel's disappearance is critical, she takes her love of sweets to an equal level of importance, as she entered a state of confusion between her mental breakdown and her eating disorder when both Carmel's portrait and the wedding cake were destroyed by the Straw Hats. In this state she became completely unresponsive to everything around her, only reacting when Luffy showed her the damaged portrait again, at which point Big Mom's mental state tipped over to her psychological crisis and she started to cry. She was so angry at the destruction of the only portrait of Carmel that she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates.

### O-Lin

During her invasion of Wano Country, Big Mom fell into the ocean, washing up unconscious on a beach in Wano. Perhaps due to her already fragile psyche, she became amnesiac after waking up, unable to remember who or where she was. While in this state, under the name **O-Lin** (おリン, *O-Rin*?), her personality reverted to that of her childhood self, becoming far more friendly and pleasant, thanking Tsuru for the food she gave her, and being grateful to the poor people of Okobore Town for being nice to her, despite them being unable to give her more food. Even her gluttony seems to have diminished: while she is still prone to violence when denied the food she desires (as seen when she angrily attacked both Queen and Luffy after not obtaining the oshiruko she wanted), she is far more considerate of others, as she wanted the oshiruko not just for herself, but to share with the people of Okobore Town.

Besides her nicer demeanor, other aspects of her childhood personality returned with her amnesia: she once again could be easily manipulated by food, as Chopper was able to convince her to go to Udon by promising she would find more oshiruko there, and unwittingly violent, as shown when she tamed a crocodile-shark to carry them by hitting it. She eventually seemed to regain her memories after being hit in the head by Queen, at which point she immediately reverted to her cruel and selfish nature, claiming that Okobore Town was a "filthy town" and giving Queen a menacing look. She did, however, express gratitude to the residents of Okobore Town for their hospitality during her amnesiac state and grew angry at and attacked the Beasts Pirates for destroying it.

### Mother Mode

Linlin has a soft spot in her heart for young children of 10 years and under, causing her to rarely enter a friendly state known as "Mother Mode" (マザーモード, *Mazā Mōdo*?) when in the presence of one.

## Relationships

### Family

Big Mom has 46 sons, and 43 husbands, the latter of whom are scattered all around the world. From her 85 children, Big Mom also has some grandchildren, such as Capone Pez.

#### Parents

When she was a little girl, Linlin innocently looked up to her parents and believed anything they told her. Because of her uncontrollable behavior, her parents were ultimately forced to abandon her because of the many atrocities she caused to her homeland. Her mother cried after leaving her and both parents were hopeful that their daughter could live a better life under Mother Carmel's care.

At first, Linlin seemed to be optimistic regarding their departure, believing they would return for her, even after a long period of absence. She eventually gave up and went to the Sheep's House without any signs of sadness nor anger to her now long-gone parents. Being attached to Carmel and eventually starting her own tyrannically matriarchal family, she never seemed to have any more mention of her parents.

#### Children

According to Charlotte Pudding, Big Mom marries her children off in order to strengthen her own crew and does not give them a choice in the matter. In addition to this, they are fully aware of how stubborn she can be.

### Enemies

#### Monkey D. Luffy

When she sent her subordinates to collect the monthly candy tribute from Fish-Man Island and called them after learning that they may not receive it, Luffy picked up the Den Den Mushi and claimed that he was responsible for the island's lack of candy. Big Mom accused him of lying and initially refused the treasure that he offered as compensation, but admitted that he had nerve for standing up to her and decided to target him instead of Fish-Man Island. In response, Luffy declared that he would defeat her in the New World and claim Fish-Man Island as his own territory because he could not leave Fish-Man Island under the protection of someone who would destroy it on a whim. However, much later, Big Mom had discovered that the Tamatebako was among the treasures that Luffy gave to her, so Big Mom decided to show remission to Luffy as the Tamatebako was enough for her to let go of the entire matter.

Luffy's friction with Big Mom further intensified when he discovered that she had coerced Sanji into a political marriage with one of her daughters by threatening to kill Zeff, whom Luffy is also friendly with, if Sanji refused to comply which would result in him leaving the Straw Hat Pirates. Knowing this, Luffy decided to sneak onto Whole Cake Island to rescue Sanji and ruin the ceremony.

Although she views herself as much stronger than him, Big Mom apparently does not underestimate Luffy's strength, feeling the need to have Cracker, one of her most powerful children, aid Brûlée in dealing with Luffy's group. At the same time, she seems to view him as a worthy opponent, looking somewhat disappointed when informed that Cracker would definitely defeat him. Upon learning that Cracker was defeated, Big Mom's rage towards Luffy swelled as she unleashed a ferocious storm and sent an army to battle him. When Luffy and Nami were captured and imprisoned, Big Mom contacted them through a Den Den Mushi and told Luffy that she was willing to let him and his crewmates leave safely due to her promise to Sanji, but threatened them to show them "hell" if they ruined Sanji and Pudding's wedding ceremony. This turned out to be false, as Pudding informed Luffy and Nami that they would die along with Sanji. However, unbeknownst to Big Mom, Luffy escaped capture and aligned with Capone Bege to overthrow her during the wedding ceremony.

Big Mom was later shocked at Luffy's presence at the wedding ceremony and was enraged when he destroyed the wedding cake she was looking forward to eating before reflecting on Luffy's previous threats to her. She searched for the real Luffy among his duplicates and after he identified himself, she moved to attack him. When her second son, Charlotte Katakuri intervened and immobilized Luffy, Big Mom reprimanded him for his actions as she wanted to personally crush Luffy herself, but became horrified and shocked when she learned that he was aiming for Carmel's portrait.

As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. After drawing Luffy out of Bege's castle body, she then proceeded to mock him by calling him a coward for running away, prompting him to attack her in anger. Luffy then declared that he would defeat her after taking down Kaidou, causing her to laugh in amusement while telling him that he could not hope to defeat him before assuring him that he would not even make it out of her territory alive. When Luffy fell unconscious as a result of activating Gear Fourth, Big Mom prepared to execute him before being interrupted by the explosion of the Tamatebako box.

Later, after entering another frenzy due to being denied the opportunity to eat the wedding cake, she furiously pursued Luffy and the Straw Hats to the edge of Whole Cake Island under the false belief that they stole a replacement cake (courtesy of Perospero's lies).

After regaining her senses from eating the wedding cake, she made it her priority to kill Luffy and get his soul, knowing that she can create powerful homies out of it. After suffering the humiliation of Luffy escaping her territory after the latter had caused immense havoc by ruining her Tea Party and Vinsmoke assassination plans, Big Mom furiously swore revenge against him. She stabbed Luffy's new wanted poster to vent her anger and frustration for the humiliation she suffered and contacted Kaidou to explain her desire to be the one who kills Luffy. True to her word, Linlin personally traveled all the way to Wano Country with some of her strongest children to kill Luffy and his crew, even though there is a risk of conflict with the Emperor Kaidou. Upon meeting Chopper at Onigashima with her memories restored, Big Mom went berserk with immense anger and angrily demanded Chopper and Usopp to hand their captain over as she chased them down.

When the two finally meet again at the Live Stage, when Big Mom mocked Luffy and his allies attempt to bring down Kaidou, Luffy countered this statement, by pointing out this was an all-out war against all hostile forces in Wano, including Big Mom herself. Big Mom was furthered enraged when she admitted she had gotten tired of Luffy ruining every festivity she had been trying to enjoy ever since they first met. When Luffy, Zoro, Law, Kid, and Killer finally confront her and Kaidou on top of Onigashima, she looked down at Luffy and the others for challenging her and Kaidou but soon expressed shock when Luffy actually managed to hurt Kaidou. Despite this sudden improvement, Big Mom still believed that Luffy stood no chance against Kaidou or her.

Even during Big Mom's brief stint as the amnesiac, O-Lin, Luffy still managed to incur her wrath. After he foolishly revealed right in front of her that he was the one to consume all the oshiruko, Big Mom furiously chased him all around the Udon Prisoner Mine trying to kill him for his offense.

#### Sanji

In order to gain access to the technology of Germa 66, Big Mom falsely agreed to an alliance with Vinsmoke Judge. In accordance with her usual terms, she demanded a family connection to seal the alliance, so Judge offered his third son, Sanji, to wed her 35th daughter, Charlotte Pudding. Because of this, Big Mom primarily refers to Sanji as "the Germa boy" and coercing the latter into obedience by threatening Zeff's life. She has ordered her subordinates to ensure that Luffy and his team do not succeed in meeting up with Sanji on Whole Cake Island.

However, in addition to his political value as a member of the Vinsmoke Family, Big Mom has great respect for Sanji's cooking skills and his pirating exploits as a member of the Straw Hats; Tamago further intimates that, if Sanji cooperates with the wedding, it is likely that Big Mom will offer him an even better position within her crew than the one he currently enjoys with the Straw Hats. Sanji, however, flat-out rejected this offer.

After finally consenting to marrying Pudding, Sanji asked Big Mom to spare his friends, which she readily agreed to do as long as Sanji married her daughter. However, Sanji later overheard Pudding reveal that the wedding is actually a setup, and that Big Mom's true intention was to kill him and his family and take their technology for herself. Pudding also claimed that the Straw Hats will not leave the island alive either, meaning that Big Mom never intended to keep her promise with Sanji. Big Mom herself later confirms this as she discusses her plans with Pudding, mocking Sanji as she excitedly imagines his brutal death at the altar. Having learnt the truth, Sanji reunited with Luffy and joined his captain's plans to crash the wedding and ruin Big Mom's plans.

As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. After the allied forces are defeated and Sanji gets trapped in Perospero's candy, Big Mom prepared to execute him before being interrupted by the explosion of the Tamatebako box.

Later, after entering another frenzy due to being denied the opportunity to eat the wedding cake, she furiously pursued Sanji and the Straw Hats to the edge of Whole Cake Island under the false belief that they stole a replacement cake (courtesy of Perospero's lies).

#### Brook

Upon seeing Brook, Big Mom immediately became fascinated with him and wants to capture him alive to add him to her collection. Big Mom overpowered and questioned Brook as to why he was trying to steal the Poneglyph and mocked him for his intentions but Brook responded to not underestimate his crew. Big Mom defeated Brook and mocked him by petting him as the latter felt humiliated for his defeat. Big Mom held high praises for Brook's strength, calling his fighting wonderful as well as being able to injure her strongest homies for the first time.

Big Mom is extremely fond of Brook to the extent that she chose to carry the Straw Hat musician by her side like a toy instead of placing him in her library collection of rare creatures right away. Even when she went to bed at night, she chose to carry Brook in her hands while sleeping. When Brook was replaced by a skeletal lookalike, Big Mom thought he had died and cried hysterically, although she got over him via the thought of eating wedding cake.

At the wedding, she was surprised to see him still alive as he revealed himself after destroying Mother Carmel's portrait, causing her to go into shock, while stammering at Brook for his act of attacking the photo.

As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel.

#### Jinbe

Sometime after the Summit War of Marineford, Big Mom allowed former Warlord Jinbe and his crew to serve under her by having her daughter Charlotte Praline marry Aladine. This was enacted in part due to Big Mom placing Fish-Man Island under her protection, though she allowed the Sun Pirates to generally do as they pleased. However, Jinbe is not loyal to her and is considering severing ties with the Big Mom Pirates, but worries of what Big Mom will do to Fish-Man island. Jinbe has told the Straw Hats that he will join them once he settles his business with Big Mom. When Jinbe appeared before her with important matters, Big Mom immediately assumed that he intended to leave the Big Mom Pirates and, upon having her suspicions confirmed, demanded that he give up something in return. The next day, it is later said in a newspaper that Jinbe retracted his intention of leaving her service. This was due to having the (correct) feeling that the roulette itself was designed for ensuring the death of those who spin it. Furthermore, Jinbe later learned that the numbers on which the roulette may land signal additional allies or friends that will be executed, along with the person who originally spun the roulette.

Jinbe later fulfilled his intention of leaving Big Mom by attacking Charlotte Opera as well as freeing a captive Luffy and Nami, which he notes was an act of rebellion to which there was no turning back. Jinbe also persuaded Luffy and his friends to join Capone Bege in his plot to overthrow Big Mom at the Tea Party. Big Mom was angered upon seeing Jinbe at the wedding ceremony with the Straw Hats. After Jinbe officially declared his intention to leave the Big Mom Pirates in order to join Luffy's crew, Big Mom attempted to take away Jinbe's lifespan. Her power had no effect on him due to him having no fear towards her, which he explains by saying that he was joining the crew of the future Pirate King before officially leaving her services. In response to his defiance, Big Mom was further enraged and resorted to brute force.

As Linlin reminisced her past about Carmel, she swore to never forgive Jinbe nor the Straw Hat Pirates for destroying the only portrait she had of Mother Carmel. Later, after entering another frenzy due to being denied the opportunity to eat the wedding cake, she furiously pursued Jinbe and the Straw Hats to the edge of Whole Cake Island under the false belief that they stole a replacement cake (courtesy of Perospero's lies).

When they later met again at Onigashima, Big Mom swore revenge against Jinbe for his previous actions of devastating her fleet prior to his departure from Totto Land, a challenge that Jinbe accepted.

#### Eustass Kid

During the time-skip, Kid invaded Totto Land and injured one of Big Mom's Sweet Commanders before stealing something of value from the Emperor. He later sunk two of the Emperor's ships while having no concern if she retaliated. Despite this hostility, Kid stated that he has no interest in going after Big Mom.

Big Mom met Kid again at Onigashima, with Kid taking part in the group who faced the duo of Kaidou and Big Mom at the top of the Skull Dome. Kid was one of the Supernovas responsible for pushing Big Mom out of the Skull Dome's rooftop, which caused her to nearly drown into Wano Country's sea. When Big Mom made her way back into Onigashima, she specifically targeted Kid with her new homie Hera and angrily called out for him to reveal himself at her, still visibly furious about the stunt he had pulled that almost killed her. Kid somewhat regained his interest to take down Big Mom and declared that she is nothing more than both a nuisance and old timing pirate where she has no place in the new era, much to Big Mom's rage.

Big Mom seemingly did not take Kid seriously until he and Trafalgar D. Water Law managed to severely injure her. The resulting damage was enough to impress the Emperor, who then started to acknowledge their threat, even going as far as sacrificing some of her own life to gain additional power so she could crush the two.

In the end, however, Big Mom's efforts were still not enough to take down Kid and Law, who both showed no fear at all towards her status as one of the Emperors, meaning they are immune to her **Soul Pocus** as well for Kid calling Big Mom as an "old hag". Once Kid and Law managed to launch her down into a crater, Big Mom, confident that she would not die, swore that they would pay.

#### Trafalgar D. Water Law

Due to his allegiance with Luffy, Big Mom is interested to kill Law.

Law was one of the supernovas who knocked Big Mom towards the ocean. Law gained interest of taking Big Mom down. Much like Kid, Law also declared that Big Mom has no place in the new era due to her being a nuisance while he is trying to do or learn something, as Law wished that Big Mom would just go away.

Big Mom seemingly did not take Law seriously until he and Eustass Kid manage to severely injured her. The resulting damage was enough to impress Emperor, who then started to acknowledge their threat, even going as far as sacrificing some of her own life to gain additional power so she could crush the two. Law declared to Big Mom that her era is over.

In the end however, Big Mom's efforts were still not enough to take down both Law and Kid, who both showed no fear at all towards her status as one of the Emperors, meaning they are immune to her **Soul Pocus** as well for Law declared that he is looking forward to hear Big Mom's last gasps. Law used silence just so Big Mom won't be able to call out her Special Homies. Once Law and Kid managed to launch her down into a crater, Big Mom, confident that she would not die, swore that they would pay.

#### Seia

Big Mom loathes Seia and finds him to be incredibly irritating. Seia hates Big Mom for her actions and believes her to be a cruel and petty person. Big Mom has immense hatred for Seia for his actions in attempting to sabotage her plans. Despite his hatred for Big Mom, Seia did not infiltrate her territory with the intention of trying to defeat her, instead he wished to just save his allies. He has also shown signs of pity towards her and believes her to be a failure, finding her her complaints over others to be pathetic and annoying.

## Past

### Mother Carmel and the Sheep's House

Despite being born to normal human parents, Linlin was abnormally large and strong even as a child. When she was 5 years old, unbeknownst to her, she was exiled from her homeland due to her uncontrollable behavior causing much destruction, and her parents were forced to abandon her on Elbaf in the hopes that she would be taken in by Mother Carmel, lying to her that they would pick her up later. After spending a long time on the shore, Linlin was taken in by Mother Carmel to the Sheep's House, a place where she took care of children of any race or status. Due to her naivete and strength, Linlin was prone to physically hurting her housemates; on one occasion, she tried to help a wolf and a bear get along, but when the bear ate the wolf she accidentally killed it with a slap. Despite Linlin's mistakes, Carmel always understood and forgave her.
