Big Mom Pirates

The Big Mom Pirates are an infamous and powerful pirate crew led by the Yonko Charlotte Linlin, better known as “Big Mom“, and they are in control of the powerful nation of Totto Land, with their captain ruling it as its queen and their base of operations being Whole Cake Island, the country’s main island. The Big Mom Pirates have the highest total bounty of any currently known pirate group (At least 4,913,500,000).

Several members shown have been proven to be formidable fighters able to battle and take down notable and infamous rookie pirates such as Caribou and some members of the Worst Generation. Due to Big Mom being able to place souls into animals and inanimate objects, she has innumerable legions of warriors known as homies that can overwhelm even strong opponents, especially within Totto Land.

Even without Big Mom in the equation, the rest of the crew carries enough power and influence to do a wide range of activities. Big Mom fully entrusted some of her subordinates to massacre entire islands to steal cake ingredients, and the members of her crew are very confident in their ability to dispose of enemies without Big Mom having to get involved at all.

The Big Mom Pirates are built around the bloodline of their captain, with her children comprising a large portion of her crew.

The Three Sweet Commanders (Charlotte Smoothie, Charlotte Katakuri, Charlotte Cracker) are Big Mom’s executive officers and have the highest authority, reverence, and fighting prowess amongst the crew after Big Mom herself.The strength of a Sweet Commander is considered so great that the defeat of one is considered a moment of crisis to the crew, and results in a swift and furious retaliation from Big Mom, as she would send her army of troops, of which includes several infamous and powerful pirates (some of them her own children), to deal with the responsible party.

The higher-ranking members of the crew are also extremely proficient with Haki, as Big Mom possesses Haoshoku Haki, and of the Sweet Commanders, Cracker has extremely tough Busoshoku Haki while Charlotte Katakuri has Kenbunshoku Haki so advanced it allows him to see a little bit into the future.

Big Mom’s crew so far has been quite varied, consisting of a long-legged person capable of turning into a chicken(Tamago), a talking lion capable of turning into a tortoise(Pekoms), a wide-faced mask-wearing man, and an anthropomorphic rabbit who rides a crane(Bobbin), making her crew one of the most diverse since the Straw Hat Pirates themselves.

The crew is also connected with the activities of the Underworld, especially through its involvement in brokering, as Big Mom would appear affluent enough to commission the likes of Caesar Clown into conducting clandestine research on her behalf with proper funding.

The Big Mom Pirates’ Jolly Roger is a skull with thick lips and wearing a pirate tricorne based on their captain’s appearance, on a fluffy background (which could represent Linlin’s hair in some fashion) with several candy canes crossed behind it (one on the right, three stacked together on the left), in place of normal crossbones. A tree is seen coming out of the cane on the bottom right.

Big Mom’s pirate ship appeared in episode 662.Queen Mama Chanter is an enormous ship, easily over twenty times the size of the Thousand Sunny; putting it in perspective with the Thousand Sunny, Big Mom’s ship could tower over 500 meters. It has a prevalent confectionery theme, having frosting over its railings, ice cream cones at the top of its masts, candy canes and wafers on the sides of the main deck, and a large candle-lit, double-layered cake directly behind its figurehead. The clown-shaped figurehead, wearing a tricorne hat and a crown, seems to be alive, continuously singing about itself being a ship. The ship has numerous cannons mounted on its side. Other parts of the ship likewise appear to be alive, such as the door to Sanji’s quarters. Several returned cannonballs damaged the starboard side.
