Wano Country Arc
O-Tama was tied up in the bag (sack) and begging to be free. When Komacchiyo tried to free her, it was attacked and chased by Baboonmaru until they reached the beach where Monkey D. Luffy washed ashore after his crew got separated upon entering Wano Country. When the Beast Pirate caught up, they tried to capture Luffy as well, and called for reinforcement, but were defeated by him and O-Tama once she got out of the bag (sack).

Afterward, O-Tama formally introduced herself to Luffy, and convinced Baboonmaru to join them as they want to her home. There, she made Luffy some rice, but when he asked for seconds, she informed him that that was all the rice, and excused herself to seemingly wash off. However, she was actually trying to supress her hunger by drinking river water that was contaminated from Kaidou's factories. She returned to find her master attacking Luffy and begged him to stop, only to collapse from drinking the poisoned water.

Trivia

 * Her devil fruit power seems to be based on Momotarō legend, who used the Kibi dango to recruit his three beastly retainers.
