That was definitely better than the manga, I just hope PH will be better than the manga too because I didn't enjoy it much there.

The Monster Trio always got balls to challenge anyone. Luffy "challenged" Shirohige back then in MarineFord, Zoro fought Mihawk without giving a crap on the Baratie and now Luffy challenges Big Mam, Zoro and Sanji don't even give a crap about that.
They probably thinking: Just bring it on, i don't give a damn who you are.

But for the time being i would say, since Big Mam is one of the Yonkou, the Mugiwara can't beat her (FOR NOW) even if they work together. As he saw, Big Mam is..............BIG. I would say she would be somewhat like Oz from Thriller Bark. Except Big Mam is was better since she is an Yonkou.
But then again, i would say she is the weakest of the Yonkou, not for being a woman but more for the first to "challenge" Luffy and want to kick his ass. It reminds me of Crocodile back then in Alabasta when he was a Shichibukai, he seemed to be the weakest also.

Luffy has balls lol. That guy is not intimidated by anything. Gold Roger reincarnated.

That declaration gave me goosebumps. I love bold encounters like that. Luffy doesn't even need high status. He's freakin' powerful anyway and I'm sure he'll defeat someone huge in the future.

Good episode, just for that Big Mam appearance and Luffy's exchange of words with her.

I was disappointed that the anime didn't show Zoro's wide grin when Luffy declared to Big Mom that he was going to be the Pirate King.

It was also weird to me that in both the manga and anime, both Zoro and Luffy (more specifically Zoro) had the same amount of trouble as Sanji when hoisting their large sacks of treasure on their backs.

Right now she may seem like a bitch but to be honest, I really don't think she's all that bad.
She's just someone who sees things from a business point and demands what she was promised.
Eh... I dunno about that... she calls it "business" but I get the feeling her idea of business is more about forcing people into using her flag so that she can make them give them all her sweets. I don't think destroying an entire country over sweets is really business. If it was business the very most she would do is destroy the factory. Also there's the whole eating her crew members thing too... something about that sizzling saliva tells me those results won't end up like when Wapol eats people.

hmmm... wasn't lola from thriller bark's mother Big Mam? I think only Nami knows this since she was friends with lola but I would think that saving her daughter would count for something and perhaps resolve this issue in the future.
Well, that's never actually been confirmed. That's just a popular theory, which I always thought as well. All Lola said was that her mom is a famous pirate in the New World. Though if she is Lola's mom, I wasn't expecting her to be such an evil bitch. But who knows... maybe she's a nice person. :O
We'll find out, I'm sure, whenever Nami decides to follow the Vivre card.

I wouldn't say that Zoro fought Mihawk the first time "without giving a crap"... if there was ever a time I thought someone was going to shit themself it was then. Zoro was acting like he was having a heart attack before he challenged him. Of course, most people would... I think he scares me more than any of the Yonko... and I have no doubt he's at least 100 times stronger than any of the other Shichibukai.

Big Mom, one of the Yonkou and the most powerful female pirate in the One Piece world, is an absurdly-sized woman who barely seems to be able to move. I'd actually say the contrary. This is Oda at his best.

Big Mam is not gonna live up to Sanji's expectations that's for sure XD
Probably the whole Big Mam war will end soon if she is Lola's mother... And if that so, I am sure they would become allies.
I am very interesting on Big Mam's crew...

Exactly my thoughts, Oda could have easily made her just some bimbo with big tits and increidbly small waist like how he does most females so seeing Big Mam's design is refreshing.

Well, Whole Cake Island looks like an....interesting (?) place.
Big Mom is so gross tho. I was laughing when Sanji started blushing over the possibility of a female Yonko, without knowing what a monster she is XD

This was a pretty tense episode, and ofc Luffy would threaten to kick a Yonko's ass and steal her territory.
I'm worried though, is there really any possibility of him being able to defeat someone who is thought to be near the same level as Shanks? Or maybe she's the weakest one or something...

Either way, we'd need another time skip or else it might feel like an ass pull!

Also seems like Kid has been up to mischief, as per usual.

Now that, was an episode. As soon as they got the treasure from Caribou I began to wonder just how it would impact the plot going forward. These things normally substantially impact the direction One Piece is going. I was not expecting it to have shown its influence already though, assuming that Big Mam does in fact take the money. That said she seemed to have suggested she would take vengeance on Luffy rather than compromise, so perhaps the treasure will still come into play in another way. Let us not forget the Tamate box either, as in my mind that is the most important and influential part of the treasure they collected, akin to the treasure map that they got with Moria’s treasure. The arm bracelet that actually led to the treasure island Buggy wanted to find. Speaking of that, I wonder how Buggy’s doing as a possible warlord and with a map leading to the place of his dreams.. You never know with him but by the next time we see him I’m sure all will make sense.

So let's take a step back, from the title of the episode I was so excited to finally learn about one of the emperors that we know so little about. My friend suggests that with the rarity of famous female pirates, and Lola’s mother being a famous female pirate that Big Mam is her mother. That has been suggested already in the thread and I too agree with that theory, having a good relationship with her daughter means that it could influence Big Mam going forward. More than that, we met Pekoms and Tamago, two loan sharks collecting their collection money with the threat of destroying the island if they don't get it. Tamago looks like a teapot Eggman, and Pekoms is quite charming being scary in almost every way from being a lion, being a money collector for one of the strongest people on the sea, for being so aggressive, yet even everyone around him can tell that he is adorable with the sunglasses off. The fact he doesn't realize that is quite the charming quality. All of this goes to say, Big Mam is definitely far worse than first anticipated, I had thought firstly that instead of protecting islands as a family she was doing it as a business, that itself isn't that bad. Then, I saw how scary her men were collecting the candy and heard about her destroying islands, that is definitely worse. Then we found out that this deal is more of an ultimatum, "give me a ridiculous amount of candy or all of you die". Her design with her teeth and her oozing acidic drool, her scary eyes, her gluttony, the fact that her men are afraid of her, the fact that she eats her people, she seems awful!! The minions of hers on Whole Cake Island are quite the eccentric bunch too.

Luffy’s response to all of this had to be one of my favourite Luffy moments of all time, the amount of shock and excitement I felt was in the same vein as when he ordered the shooting of the world government flag. This stuff never gets old. This particular instance was amazing to me personally for many reasons. It started with the gag I adore of Luffy answering the phone with no hesitation which isn't his and people do not want to answer, we also saw this in Marineford on the navy ship they stole. That kind of behaviour reminds me so much of kid Goku and I love it. But after laughing incredibly hard, what Luffy was doing immediately became realized to me, it was like a deal from a yakuza movie. Someone had to take responsibility for this, so quickly to protect this island and his friends from a second destruction he put all of the blame on himself. As that's not enough, Mam sees through that, Luffy then tries to compensate with money, all of the treasure they had just gotten. In a brief impulsive moment he's covered nearly all of the bases for dealing with these kinds of people, and Big Mam almost doesn't agree! She shows that she’s seen through Luffy, that she doesn't care for any of the treasure in the world even when they are starving on funds, she seems like a gluttonous and questionable leader. However, she's interested in Luffy, as Garp’s grandson and for his confidence in challenging one of the most powerful people on the sea. So, she agrees and put all of the blame on him and his crew.

This was already a spontaneous and absolutely amazing set up for the future with somebody that we've known about for a long time yet have never gotten a tangible understanding of. But that wasn't even it, the end of this all was the best part of it for me, it deepened my understanding of what the king of pirates means to Luffy. It should have been obvious in retrospect, I've always understood being the king of pirates as being a man that has succeeded Shanks. What is Shanks to Luffy? An admirable and strong man who protects the people he loves. Someone who is free and meant the world to Luffy. He made a pledge with Ace to be free and live without regret, to be strong enough and free enough to protect the people they care about and not let something like Sabo's fate happen again. The king of pirates can literally protect the thousands of friends they have by making their islands his territory. Obviously Luffy would want to be free and strong enough, as the king of pirates would be, to be a Whitebeard figure. “I’ll kick your ass all the way across the new world and make Fishman Island my territory!”. MY MAN LUFFY!!

I would like to briefly mention the humour of Nami sending her boys out to get treasure only for them to come back possibly with no treasure and one of the four strongest people on the sea looking to kill them. Just thinking about that made me laugh. Also, Captain Kid was said to have taken down two of Big Mam’s ships, it looks like he's quite the threat on the sea too, going after emperors. Now we know that Drake has picked a fight with Kaido and Kid has picked a fight with Big Mam. I wonder if the Straw Hats will work with them when the time comes to have conflict with these emperors, assuming Kaido and Mam do end up as enemies.

Omg, Big Mam is terrifying. All that acid drool and the sheer size of her was creepy, she also seems to have a very unique looking crew. Luffy declaring war was awesome, good to see him establishing territory and making another big move.

Big Mom's introduction was a bit nightmarish to say the least. Luffy's essentially declared war against one of the Four Emperors, that mad lad. At least Fishman Island's off their case now. Those fatties are pretty much just a protection racket since they still demanded tribute even after they did nothing about the whole Fishman Pirates situation.

I hope that they didn't end up losing the treasure to those bozos.
