Big Mom is fucking crazy lol .
Which one? Charlotte is their last name. They're all Charlotte.
One Piece 829:
I'm sticking with the idea that Big Mom's fruit gives her the ability to give life to things, but now we know she can also take it. If this does turn out to be the case, I hope Big Mom says some variation of, "I brought you into this world, I can take you out of it." at some point during this arc. Also, I got a good laugh out of Big Mom's hat this chapter and the Pirate Skull changing it's facial expressions during Big Mom's rampage. I wonder if it's actually alive or if that was just Oda being funny?

Her power pretty much seems to be just Life. She can give it (to doors and candy, and possibly all her children) and can take it away in the form of years off a person's life.
But I don't think they're directly correlated like Moria's power. She's not giving someone else's life force to the candy. It's just coming and going directly from the devil fruit power source.
Edit: and this is what she wanted to eat, Croquembouche:

Does someone still thinks Luffy will make an alliance with Big Mom? She doesnt show any regret of killing her son whe she was "recovered". She is messed up.

It's highly possible, considering so many inanimate things have faces and talk around her. Also, remember that Pudding said she wouldn't do anything bad to her children. Let's wait and see, we can only speculate at the moment.
big mom definitely has the life life fruit. that or something relating to the tree of life since she has what looks like a tree in her flag. think she might end up taking most of jimbei's or sanji's life force and taking it hostage and luffy will have to get it back by either defeating her or doing something for her. i think bonney is also big mom's daughter since she throws tantrums when she doesn't get her food as well.

Yeah, I believe Big Mom or someone from her crew can make inanimate things alive. But not sure yet if that grants the power to manipulate the fate of human life, that would be too broken, like some ressurection fruit. Unless their children were inanimate things transformed into humans. That would make sense.
I don't think Pudding is right, though, this chapter proves she is wrong, she indeed did something bad to her son, also forcing marriages are a bad thing. I think this whole thing is to show that the Strawhats won't get away with "I saved Lola so we're good".

The fact that he was given a title card makes me think this is actually possible.

Her taking away lifespan power seems to be a huge HINT to Bonney being related to her considering her power is altering age.
The one thing we need to know about Big Mom's power though is if she can give life to other things which would explain the living furniture and environment around her.
Also Shanks is strong enough to have his art eaten and not flinch, cry, or wince in pain. The dude's a monster like them.
On this chapter though, I felt this really established Big Mom on a league of her own. Even the people we can assume to be among the top tier of her crew didn't do shit to try and stop her fit. I can only wonder how she had a crew on the open sea if this is what she did every time she was hungry. Perhaps there's a reason behind it all.
Jinbei had a cool entrance and it's nice to see Oda going directly into addressing his alliance with Big Mom. I don't if she's gonna act violent right away. I think she's planning something special for the Straw Hat pirates which is why she hasn't done anything overtly bad to them yet.

Oh boy, new chapter. I wonder what will happ--
HOLY SHIT! BIG MOM IS INSANE
!!!
This was really disturbing. She's devouring the living sweets. The fact that they're alive and being eaten is unsettling.
And she's hax. Taking someone's life-force away. I don't believe for a second her son is dead, maybe he just got really old due to losing 40 years.

This is what I think, too. But the theory of her being able to inject life back is interesting, theoretically she could make sure someone lives forever. Even a prisoner.
I don't know that I like how she has the poneglyph, though. I'm sure the SHs will get the rubbing of it or whatever, but still. I wonder if he offered it as a gift on behalf of Luffy to make peace for now?
Thats what I got to, it makes me wonder if she can add to a person life like give a person more time.
Now that we know Pedro has been to WCI, I'm starting to think he may have helped Lola.
It's only a matter of time until their connection is explained. I used to think Bonney was her daughter, but due to her power, there are a lot of more interesting possibilities. Bonney's story is one of the things I expect the most for an explanation, specially her relation to WB.

That's probably a good reason. But she can't read it and she cares more about sweets than history, so it seems useless for now.
How in the hell does Totland even survive with Big Mom having a foodie tantrum? She about blew up the kingdom and nearly killed one of her own sons over a sugary confection. Nice to see Jinbei back in action, though this must be one of the major things he needed to wrap up before joining Luffy. Cutting ties with Mom will probably not end all that well.

Big Mom's power might have a weakness though. Muscat gets warned that if he is afraid, she'll take his life span. So I'm guessing that since Luffy is fearless and whatnot that her power can't work on him?
Wouldn't the poneglyph they're talking about be the one from Fishman Island that talks about the weapons? She already has a Road one, right? So I think the crew will care more about getting that one instead of one they've already read.

This is what I'm wondering. There is no way Oda would basically sell his franchise. And 15 million sounds suspiciously low.
Edit: The original source says "the deal will grant the company the right to develop related live-action film, TV series and other derivatives."
It's probably the poneglyph Jinbei found during the cover arc. We don't know what's on that one yet.

Yeah, unless translated poorly that would be the perfect check to her power to keep her from being unstoppable.
It would explain how Shanks/WB/Kaidou could stand up to her if they ever fought. It will also explain how Usopp dies.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
Not a fan of this chapter, I guess because of the wait. One of those chapters that's good for build up but doesn't stand well on its own.
One Piece is so much better when you read a lot at once.

Luckily he is not here, poor Chopper though.
I wonder what her powers would do to Brooke?
This arc is so tonally weird and different from pretty much every other arc I've read. It's hard to explain. It's still one piece, but it just feels so radically weird.
Also, I don't trust Pedro. There's either two things that are going on. Either he's actually working for big mom and has been leaking information, or Oda's just using all the "i've been here before" suspiciousness as a red herring to cover up for the fact that Pudding is the one that ratted them out.
