Big Top

## Stats

**Big Top** was the owner of and allegedly the most powerful man in the Oasis. Big Top seems to be an effective leader of the Oasis, with Roulette saying he is the reason why the Marines don't interfere with the business going on in the Oasis.

## **Appearance**

Big Top was a short man with a ginger beard who looks similar to a leprechaun. He also carries a cane, which has a concealed gun inside of it.

## **Personality**

Very little is known about Big Top's personality. Roulette claims that he is "small in size but large in character." He speaks with an Irish accent. He was adamant about maintaining the status quo in the Oasis, punishing those who would threaten it with unforgiving cruelty. He also doesn't tolerate insults against his person, as when William envisioned him as "clowny", Roulette warned the pirate to not let Big Top hear him say that, claiming that he "has a temper." Any person who would steal from him will be dealt with swiftly.

## **Abilities / Powers / Equipment**

#### Overview

It was unknown how physically strong Big Top was, but he had many connections, wielding more economical and political power than any of the Casino Dons. He had great wealth and manpower at his disposal. His influence was great enough to keep the Marines out of the Oasis, causing them to have no jurisdiction there.

He was also one of the only people in the Oasis who actively kept tabs on the Eight Flames and their whereabouts, being aware of the location of their current base at all times. He was also capable of hiring them to kill anyone for him at any moment. All of this made him a very powerful and dangerous man. Although he was eventually killed by a mannequin version of a Devil's Luck Pirate.

#### **Devil Fruit**

Big Top had eaten a devil fruit in the past. According to Dane Goodman, this fruit is similar in function to the Roulette Roulette fruit, except that it uses dice to give Big Top "any number of abilities".
Given what the Gorosei, the most informed people on world events, said about how there was never any precedent for somebody to wield two abilities at the same time, it is unknown if these are devil fruit abilities.

Big Top, as the head of a grand underwater casino, would be well known in terms of power and influence in the Grand Line, so he could not have used two abilities simultaneously. So the fruit most likely grants a reservoir of abilities that a user can use in a period, but not simultaneously.

For example, a user rolling a pool that includes a gorilla zoan and the Mera Mera no mi would most likely not be able to turn into a flaming gorilla.

It is unknown how the fruit maps dice rolls to abilities or if it even uses the same pool as the Roulette Roulette fruit, given that 410 outcomes cannot be rolled with a uniform distribution through standard combinations of dice commonly used in Dungeons and Dragons due to having 41 as a factor.

## **Relationships**

### **Allies**

#### Slots and Pipp

Slots and Pipp were some of his biggest allies, as they were willing to give their lives in order to protect him. However, once Slots' life was in danger, Pipp fled with Slots.

### **Enemies**

The Casino Dons

The Casino Dons are an instrumental existence when it comes to maintaining the balance and integrity of the Oasis. As such, Big Top has made endangering their businesses or attacking them personally into one of the few unforgivable crimes that exist within the confines of the city. Overall, Big Top and the Dons maintain an alliance that mercilessly punishes anybody who disturbs the uneasy order of the Oasis. However, after the Crew left the Oasis Big Top helped continue the gang war between them in order to weaken them, until only one remained, in which case he could rush in and rule the Oasis unopposed.

#### Bullet

Big Top hates Bullet as she stole the Roulette Roulette no Mi from him, breaking one of the only rules that the Oasis has. As a punishment for her crime, she was banned from entering the city ever again. In the 1 Million subscriber Twitch stream, Rustage confirmed Bullet was actually Big Top's adoptive daughter.

#### Devil's Luck Pirates

Big Top presumably hates the crew for assaulting the Elephant and his business, threatening Roulette's life and stealing her diamond as well as attacking the Eight Flames Base. Although given recent interactions, he might not care about that. He was willing to take a hostage and coerce the Crew into being mercenaries in order to kill the Dons, meaning he might just view them as a pirate crew he can use for his own ambitions.
