Unveiling the Tragic Fate of Big Mom in One Piece

Big Mom, one of the former Four Emperors of the Sea in the world of One Piece, has played a significant role in the post-time skip journey of the Straw Hat Pirates. From her introduction in the story, she has been intertwined with the overarching plot, initially challenging Luffy and eventually clashing with him. Appearing in multiple arcs, Big Mom is regarded as one of the most formidable villains in One Piece.

As an Emperor of the Sea, Big Mom possesses immense strength, demonstrated by her hefty bounty of 4.388 billion berries. Her abilities as a fighter are truly monstrous, with several unique powers at her disposal. In her battle against Trafalgar Law and Eustass Captain Kid, she unveiled a new power named Misery, which represents the pinnacle of her offensive capabilities derived from her Devil Fruit ability.

Big Mom's Soru Soru no Mi Power

Big Mom derives most of her powers from her Devil Fruit, known as the Soru Soru no Mi. This Paramecia-type fruit grants her the ability to manipulate souls as she pleases, granting her complete control over every existing soul. However, the extent of her manipulation varies. For instance, she can effortlessly extract the soul of anyone who even slightly fears her, thereafter exerting control over that soul. These souls can be bestowed upon lifeless objects, transforming them into Homies. Additionally, she has the capability to transfer souls to living beings like trees. Big Mom can also store these souls within herself, thereby augmenting her own strength.

One of her most formidable abilities is known as Soul Pocus, which enables her to swiftly dispatch anyone who harbors fear or hesitates in her presence. It is this very power that deems her worthy of the revered title of Emperor of the Sea. Furthermore, Big Mom possesses the ability to bestow souls onto various elements within her own body, including her bones.

Big Mom's Special Homies

By engaging in this process, it enables her to facilitate the mending of any injuries she has endured, as her skeletal structure gains the ability to self-repair. Furthermore, Big Mom possesses the capability of foregoing a portion of her own life expectancy in order to attain a remarkable surge in strength. When all of these elements are combined, she becomes an unstoppable force. And if those attributes weren't impressive enough, Big Mom also possesses the extraordinary aptitude to utilize her own essence to fashion extraordinary Homies, which sets them apart from their counterparts.

In the world of One Piece, Big Mom has harnessed her own soul to create unique entities known as Homies. Among these Homies, Prometheus, Zeus, and Napoleon stand out as exceptional creations, each imbued with immense power that surpasses that of other Homies encountered in the story. With absolute authority over their counterparts, these Homies, formed from Big Mom's very essence, hold a distinct advantage. It is highly probable that Prometheus, the fire-based Homie, was Big Mom's initial creation. Displaying traits akin to a miniature sun, Prometheus grants her the ability to manipulate scorching flames with ease. Defeating Prometheus proves to be an arduous task, as even attacks infused with Haki prove futile against its intangible form.

Zeus, a thundercloud infused with Big Mom's soul, grants her the ability to control thunderstorms and lightning. However, in Wano, Big Mom replaces Zeus with Hera, who possesses even greater powers. Additionally, Big Mom wields her hat, Napoleon, which she can transform into a formidable sword.

During her time in Wano, Big Mom exhibits her newfound ability to merge all three of her Homies, creating the fearsome Maser Saber. This extraordinary weapon possesses unparalleled cutting capabilities, capable of slicing through virtually anything. The destructive force of the Maser Cannon is demonstrated when it effortlessly tears through Ulti. Notably, the utilization of the Maser Saber presents significant challenges for formidable opponents like Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid. Through the wielding of the Maser Saber, Big Mom unleashes one of her ultimate weapons known as Misery.

The Power Of Big Mom's Misery

Misery emerges when Big Mom merges her special homies, resulting in the creation of a colossal woman with the ability to manipulate lightning and fire simultaneously. Misery's destructive potential is formidable as she can either electrocute and immobilize her targets or incinerate them with scorching flames until they turn to ash. The recent appearance of Big Mom employing Misery's power against Trafalgar Law and Eustass Kid in the anime demonstrated the devastating effects. Despite Kid's impressive combat skills, as evident from his substantial bounty, he proved no match for Misery. With her combined abilities, Misery becomes an unstoppable force under Big Mom's absolute control, capable of obliterating all who oppose her.

Misery's Connection To Mother Carmel

Eagle-eyed fans of One Piece will quickly notice that Big Mom's Misery holds a deeper significance beyond its sheer power. While this technique is undeniably overpowered and allows Big Mom to annihilate most of her foes, Misery carries a much greater weight, offering a potential glimpse into Big Mom's past. It is clearly derived from Mother Carmel, a pivotal figure in Big Mom's life. When her own parents abandoned her, Carmel took Big Mom under her wing and decided to raise her. Unbeknownst to her, Carmel had ulterior motives as a child trafficker, planning to sell Big Mom to the Navy.

However, Big Mom remained oblivious to this truth. In fact, her entire belief system and aspirations originated from Mother Carmel. Despite devouring her on her sixth birthday, Big Mom has no memory of this event. To her, Mother Carmel simply vanished one day, leaving her with lingering questions about their shared past. Big Mom's most powerful technique, 3,000 Leagues in Search of Mother, alludes to her ongoing quest for answers regarding the fate of her beloved Mother Carmel. This is why she pays homage to Carmel with Misery, mirroring its appearance and bestowing upon it the title of her ultimate attack.

Despite Big Mom's current defeat, there remains the potential for her reappearance in the future narrative. Should this occur, Oda may delve further into her backstory, aiding her in resolving longstanding unresolved issues.
