Biography

Big Mom.

Charlotte Linlin (Japanese: シャーロット・リンリン, Hepburn: Shārotto Rinrin)

Despite being born to normal human parents, Linlin was abnormally large and strong even as a child. When she was 5 years old, unbeknownst to her, she was exiled from her homeland due to her uncontrollable behavior causing much destruction, and her parents were forced to abandon her on Elbaph in the hopes that she would be taken in by Mother Carmel, lying to her that they would pick her up later. After spending a long time on the shore, Linlin was taken in by Mother Carmel to the Sheep's House, a place where she took care of children of any race or status. Due to her naivete and strength, Linlin was prone to physically hurting her housemates; on one occasion, she tried to help a wolf and a bear get along, but when the bear ate the wolf she accidentally killed it with a slap. Despite Linlin's mistakes, Carmel always understood and forgave her. On the day before the Winter Solstice festival, Linlin and the Sheep's House children were invited to take part in a feast, and Linlin was instantly enamored by the semla served to her. The festival then began, with all residents of Elbaph having to fast for 12 days. Linlin suffered greatly as she kept craving food, and on the seventh day of fasting she finally snapped and went on a rampage to get semla. Causing destruction throughout the village and taking down multiple giants, Linlin's actions were deemed to be heresy by Jorul, who attacked her despite Carmel's pleas. However, Linlin shattered Jorul's sword with her bare hands before grabbing him by the beard and throwing him into the ground, fatally injuring him. The citizens of Elbaph then held her down and fed her semla, satiating her and putting her to sleep. When Linlin awoke, she did not remember her rampage, making the giants even angrier at her.

In order to quell the giants' wrath, Carmel took Linlin and all her children to a new Sheep's House on a different island, where things returned to normal. Unbeknownst to Linlin, Carmel was in truth a child trafficker who had begun negotiating her future sale to the World Government after her power displayed at Elbaph. Carmel argued that in the Marines Linlin could become an Admiral or Fleet Admiral, or in Cipher Pol would be the greatest shield the Celestial Dragons could ask for and demanded a high price with intent to retire after the sale. Although the masked Cipher Pol agent present reluctantly agreed to the deal, it would never come to pass. At a later date, Carmel and the children celebrated Linlin's sixth birthday with a tea party and croquembouche. An excited Linlin cried tears of joy and devoured the meal, being unable to see past her tears. When she finished eating, she realized that Carmel and all her housemates had disappeared, leaving only scraps of clothing behind. She then searched for them only to find that she was all alone and broke down in tears. Immediately after this, Linlin was approached by Streusen, a chef and former pirate that wanted to work with her after witnessing her actions, laughing as he called her a monster. They decided to make the island they were on into a dream country, where she wanted all races to live in harmony and for her friends to be the same size as her. Unknown to either of them, a giant had come from Elbaph to the island to make sure Carmel and the children were doing well, only to witness Linlin's actions too, causing him to flee in terror. He reported back to the other giants, causing the giants' hatred for her to increase even more.

After the Straw Hat Pirates and the Ryugu Kingdom defeated the New Fish-Man Pirates, Big Mom sent two of her subordinates to collect the monthly candy tribute, unaware that the factory had been destroyed in the fighting. She was excited for an upcoming Tea Party, at which she anticipated eating the candy from Fish-Man Island. Bobbin returned from destroying an island that had failed to make its monthly candy tribute and reported that everything had gone up in flames. Pleased by this, Big Mom commented that the baked sweets from that country were delicious and that the island must have smelled wonderful as it burned down. Upon learning that Fish-Man Island might not be able to make their monthly payment, she demanded that a call to be made to the island at once. Pekoms and Tamago were too nervous to answer when the call went through, so Monkey D. Luffy answered it instead. When Luffy claimed that he had eaten all ten tons of the candy meant for her tribute, Big Mom accused him of lying, but Luffy insisted that he spoke the truth and offered her their treasure as compensation. As an offended Big Mom declared she would only accept candy and that she could not eat treasure, Tamago informed her that Eustass Kid had recently sunk two of their ships and the crew was in need of money to cover the damages, which meant they should accept the gold and allow Fish-Man Island two weeks to recover and make new candy. Though she was further insulted by the suggestion due to her belief that pirates should not compromise, Big Mom admitted that she had become interested in Luffy and decided to shift the target of her wrath from Fish-Man Island to Luffy alone. In response, Luffy decided that it was too dangerous to leave Big Mom in charge of Fish-Man Island and declared that he would defeat her when they meet in the New World before announcing his intention to claim Fish-Man Island as his own territory, utterly infuriating Big Mom.

Sometime after Sanji and his group arrived at Zou, Big Mom sent her subordinates Pekoms, Bege, and Tamago to issue a malicious Tea Party invitation to Sanji to coerce him into becoming a pawn in her Vinsmoke assassination plans, threatening to send a decapitated head of anyone he holds dear as a present if Sanji refused to comply. Before Sanji's arrival to Whole Cake Island, Big Mom ordered Pudding to seduce Sanji with her acting skills as part of her plan to assassinate the Vinsmokes. Three days before the Tea Party, Big Mom happily sang and danced with her Homies, as she received reports that her subordinates had acquired special eggs, flour, and fruit to make the wedding cake. She then asked and received confirmation that Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates had arrived in Totto Land. Later, Big Mom got a craving for croquembouche and went on a rampage through Sweet City looking for the treat. Her 16th son Charlotte Moscato attempted to stop her, but she demanded he give her either croquembouche or his life. He ran away in fear, and she pulled out his lifespan. Jinbe then came and fed Big Mom with some croquembouche homies, causing her mind to return to normal. Jinbe asked to talk with Big Mom, and they went to the Whole Cake Chateau, where he asked to leave her crew. Big Mom agreed, but on the condition that he spin her Roulette wheel to give up a certain amount of lifespan. Due to the exorbitant amounts of lifespan on the wheel, Jinbe retracted his request. When the Straw Hats reached Whole Cake Island the next day, Big Mom sent Charlotte Cracker to deal with them swiftly, ensuring they would not disturb the Tea Party. She then had Caesar Clown brought before her, and she inquired about the progress of his gigantification research. Caesar lied that his progress had been destroyed by Luffy and Trafalgar Law, so Big Mom revealed that she had a replica laboratory constructed just for him. She gave him two weeks to finish his research, and if he did not have results by then he would be killed by Charlotte Perospero.

Overview

Personality and attributes

In appearance, Charlotte Linlin was depicted as a towering, massive woman, over eight meters tall, with long curly pink hair, a wide mouth full of sharp teeth, and heavy makeup emphasizing her eyes and lips. Her typical outfit included a bright pink polka-dotted dress with a matching bicorne hat, Napoleon, which served as both a living companion and weapon. Her sheer size made her an intimidating presence, and her expressions often shifted from gleeful to terrifying rage within moments.

In personality, Linlin was shown as unpredictable, gluttonous, and tyrannical. She demanded absolute loyalty from her crew and subjugated the citizens of Totto Land under her “dream” of a utopia where all races could live together, though her methods were brutal and coercive. She was prone to violent food cravings, and when denied, she entered uncontrollable hunger rampages where she destroyed everything around her. Despite her cruelty, she showed a softer side to her children at times, though even they feared her wrath. Her obsession with control and perfection made her as much a despot as a pirate emperor.

As Carmel noted, Linlin was once a truly kind-hearted little girl. At five years old, Linlin tried to help people and even animals such as a bear and a wolf. However, her benevolent intentions ended up with dangerously violent results due to her monstrous strength and innocent simplicity, as she slapped a bear for devouring a wolf, accidentally killing it in the process. She also fractured a giant's bones while trying to smack a mosquito on him. Linlin even cried in genuine remorse after she accidentally killed the bear. She would also try to "fix" the appearances of her fellow orphans, which was actually attempting to tear off their racial features, being unable to understand the harm she was inflicting. This has carried over to her current situation, as while her dream of creating a country without discrimination is noble, she's willing to use violence and extortion to force people to follow her commands.

Despite her age, Linlin has childish tendencies. After capturing Brook, Linlin playfully patted and caressed the living skeleton and carried Brook with her to sleep at night like a teddy bear and cried hysterically when she thought Brook had died.

Powers and abilities

Big Mom has immense superhuman physical strength, demonstrated by her ability to climb tall buildings despite her massive size, throw punches with tremendous destructive power.

Linlin would later somehow claim the power of Mother Carmel's Devil Fruit (悪魔の実, Akuma no Mi). In this case, this was the Soru Soru no Mi (ソルソルの実, Soul-Soul Fruit) that was a Paramecia (超人パラミシア系, Paramishia-kei) type Devil Fruit.

She was able to steal the soul from the victims, taking away their lifespan by an amount of her choosing. This power allowed her to take a person's entire remaining lifespan, thus killing them instantly, or she can just take part of that person's remaining lifespan, leaving their lifespan that much shorter.

Accompanying her were a number of animated objects including:

• Prometheus (プロメテウス, Purometeusu) :
• Zeus (ゼウス, Zeusu) :
• Napoleon (ナポレオン, Naporeon) :
• Hera (ヘラ, Hera) :

As a pirate, she came to establish her own crew that were known as the Big Mom Pirates (ビッグ・マム海賊団, Biggu Mamu Kaizokudan). As the captain of the Big Mom Pirates, Big Mom has amassed an extremely powerful crew.

She possesses considerable influence within the Underworld (裏社会, Urashakai) as well, having connections to the Vinsmoke Family, which leads the legendary Germa 66. Those who marry her children automatically become part of her crew.

As formerly one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom was recognized as one of the four most powerful pirates in the world. As the only female member, this effectively makes Big Mom the single most powerful female pirate in the world. Five Elder St. Shepherd Ju Peter stated that Big Mom was one of the few people capable of stopping Teach.
