Talk:Big Mom Pirates

Mam vs. Mom
Databooks are considered to have inaccurate romanizations and translations. So Mam is more accurate. 22:53, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Chapter 651. Oda wrote it as "Big Mom".DemonRin 22:54, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

since oda wrote it as big mom in the data book as well as the more recent chapter 651, and has only written the "mam" once in a chapter quite some time ago we can assume he simply made a mistake when he wrote mam195.1.67.181 00:26, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

I know the databooks are supposed to be less accurate, but Mom does beat Mam 2-1 in terms of use. I say we should go with the majority on this one. 00:30, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

A mistake is more possible. The difference between the Arabasta and Albasta one is that Oda used Arabasta during the actual arc while he used Big Mom in the new chapter that is actually related to her. SeaTerror 02:30, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Mistake or no mistake, it's 2:1 currently. Let it be as Mom, unless we have confirmation LATER. 03:36, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Nothing to protect Fisherman Island?
Is it really fair to say so? The deal was to protect them from the invasion of other pirate crews in exchange of candy. If they did nothing about the civil war it is, as they said, because that's not their problem. Protecting them from the civil war would mean they'd have to take a side, meaning they would end attacking citizens they are paid to protect.

From what I remember no one in Fisherman Island ever said Big Mam had failed them, so I don't think it's fair to write that. It's been a while since I last read that arc, so I may be forgetting a frame or 2. But I don't remember any complaints regarding her services, except maybe how expensive and unreasonable it was. 190.47.205.207 17:10, January 23, 2013 (UTC)Seba.

Ship's figurehead
Has anyone else noticed that the face on the ship moves to face toward the thousand sunny? in all the frames the ship appears in, you can tell the head moves like it's looking toward the ship. 12.166.75.230 01:23, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

I wouldn't be surprised, it can sing. 02:26, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

I'm chalking it up to comical artistic license. Don't overthink it. 02:37, December 8, 2013 (UTC)

Connection to Law?
One of the Big Mom pirates (the girl with three eyes) looks a lot like one of the kids from Law's hometown, Flevance (Chapter 762, page 11). Etsyets (talk) 17:47, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

That's not a third eye. SeaTerror (talk) 18:15, October 9, 2014 (UTC)

Allies/Underlings: FireTank Pirates
Wasn't it pretty much confirmed they allied themselves with Big Mom? Or were they just randomly taking a stroll in her ship?

We have no idea what he was doing on their ship. As likely as an alliance is, we have no confirmation. 20:30, August 30, 2015 (UTC)

Alright then, stroll it is I guess XD

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
For SeaTerror sake: Should the references be included in the trivia? Rhavkin (talk) 11:28, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

It seems similar enough to me to be a reference. And our rules state that if you think One Piece is referencing something, feel free to add it, just be prepared to defend it if someone else disagrees.

12:24, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, the soldiers and the talking doors make the reference pretty evident to me Kaido King of the Beasts (talk) 12:29, May 6, 2016 (UTC)

Lately they've been saying that they have a more general "fairy tale" theme, and I'm inclined to agree with them. And it just occurred to me today that the talking ship and door and flowers and things could be a reference to The Powder of Life from the Wizard of Oz novels. Bet you dollars to donuts that Big Mom has some sort of power like that at her disposal (whether it be from a Devil Fruit or from Germa 66). 99.52.193.151 21:07, June 1, 2016 (UTC)

Somethings can reference several stories, like Chocolat town referencing both "Hansel and Gretel" and "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". Rhavkin (talk) 05:33, June 2, 2016 (UTC)

Sounds okay if the references are obvious, but try not to go overboard, or we may reach the border between simple reference and speculation. 05:35, June 2, 2016 (UTC)
