Charlotte Linlin,[1] also known as

Charlotte Linlin,[1] also known as Big Mom,[7] is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and one of the Yonko.[3][4]

She was the last Yonko to be named. Her epithet was first revealed just after the Battle of Marineford by Eustass Kid,[5] and her real name was first mentioned by Pappug in the Fishman Island Arc.[1]


Appearance

Big Mom has only been partially seen from the shadows, but it is clear that she is an incredibly large and obese woman whose face appears to be larger than her body. She has a very wide grin, long curly hair that juts out wildly, large bulging eyes, and a round nose and cheeks. She also wears a tricorne hat bearing her jolly roger on the front.[8]

Her outfit seems to consist of a pink dress with red polka dots and high-heels.

She is seen drooling a large amount of saliva in all of her appearances thus far. She also has a ring on the thumb of her left hand.

Personality

“ I wonder if we can explain the situation? She is like a monster who would destroy a whole country for sweets! One of the Yonko... Big Mom! ”
— Minister of the Left on Charlotte Linlin
Big Mom loves sweets, making all the islands under her protection pay her in whatever kind of candy they can produce. She seems to be obsessed with sweets to the point that her likes and dislikes are based on them, and she is willing to destroy a country for failing to deliver them. Despite this, she does not lose control when Luffy claimed to have eaten all of her candy.

Although she does not seem greedy, Big Mom appears to have a rather capitalist mindset. She strongly believes that a pirate must accept no compromises or delays for something that they want. Pappug thinks she is protecting Fishman Island with a business perspective, since the deals made with the candy qualify as racketeering even though she prioritizes sweets over money and treasure. She initially refused an alternative payment of treasure when the candy tribute could not be met, and she also doubled the required amount of candy in exchange for a deadline extension of merely two weeks.

She appears to be quite ruthless, burning down a country when they failed to make their payment, disregarding any reason for the failure and rationalizing that she hates people who cannot keep their promises. She is infamous for decimating islands over slight infractions and is voracious to the point of eating some of her own subordinates if hungry enough, showing signs of cannibalism.

She refers to herself with "ore" (おれ, "ore"?), a very masculine way of saying "I", instead of the gender-neutral "watashi" (私, "watashi"?) that most other females use.[9]

Relationships

Crew

Her subordinates call her "Mama" (ママ, Mama?) and most seem to be afraid of her. Since she is willing to eat her subordinates when she is hungry, she doesn't seem to care for their well-being very much. So far, only the unnamed three-eyed girl and Bobbin appear to be unafraid of her. Bobbin even had a friendly chat with Big Mom after returning to her at Whole Cake Island.

Capone Bege

Big Mom and Capone Bege are affiliated in some way, as Bege's crew was present on the Big Mom Pirates' ship that was chasing the Thousand Sunny. Due to this and Bege's intention of capturing Caesar Clown, it is highly likely the two are allies.

Protectorates

Given her capitalist mindset, Big Mom only imparts protection upon her chosen territories for as long as they can meet the demanded candy tribute; she will not hesitate to have them destroyed if there is even a chance that they will not be able to pay it. Her idea of "protection" specifically offers only protection from other pirates, as her crew stated that the local uprising on Fishman Island was none of their concern. The sweets produced by Fishman Island were a particular favorite of hers.

Enemies

Monkey D. Luffy

Big Mom knows of Luffy's relation to Garp and of his involvement in the events at Marineford. When she sends her subordinates to collect the candy tribute from Fishman Island, Luf
