Talk:Pekoms

Move
Why was it moved to Pecoms? Isn't Bocoms the better translation? 21:59, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

...and why "Mr." is part of the name too? It's a different case then the BW agents, which used codenames, this is a name so Mr. is a title.

Could someone like JOPF figure this out?

Etymology
Does the name Pecoms derive from "pecan"? Because the other members of the Big Mom Pirates all have their names derived from food or dessert (Charlotte is a dessert, Tamago means egg, and Bobbin as in bobbing for apples). The naming scheme should allow us to derive Pecoms' name (assuming Pecoms is the right translation, it might even be something closer to pecan). 20:24, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

Charlotte is also a common female name. You're definitely pushing it with the Bobbin one. SeaTerror 20:30, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

It's possible. The only other translation of it that I know is the one from the chapter before he was introduced, Bocoms. Though Bocoms doesn't sound like any food I can think of. 20:33, January 7, 2012 (UTC)


 * @SeaTerror: I also said Tamago means egg, which can be a base ingredient for cakes and other dessert, and itself is a food.
 * @DancePowderer: Yeah, but Bocoms does seem to be a mistranslation indeed. Just wanna ask if Pecoms is pecan derivative (and as in pecan pie, for the dessert theme). 20:37, January 7, 2012 (UTC)

I think it comes from pekopeko, which means very hungry in Japanese. He said he was pekopeko in his first appearance. --Klobis 03:28, January 8, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's interesting. Thanks. So, trivia worthy, in terms of a food/dessert-based theme for the crew? 04:02, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

I'd say so. 04:09, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Pecoms able to destroy islands
Say, isn't this speculation:

''He is responsible for collecting candy payments, like many other members of the crew and can destroy islands if they do not keep up their payments. He is seen carrying a sword, which he is presumably competent in using.''

It wasn't stated that Pekoms and Tamago can destroy islands, only that Big Mum would send her "beasts" if an island doesn't pay. The way I understand it, this doesn't necessarily mean that every collector is one of her feared fighters and that Pekoms and Tamago could be simply the Rockstar of BM's crew.

In any case I think we should reword or remove that paragraph. 16:24, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, its wrong. Big Mom does that. She goes crazy and destroy islands. Tamago and Pecomes only collect the month's payment of the islands..

In the recent chapter, it shows hes a df user worth 330,000,00 milllion beri. He doesn't destroy islands. He is a messenger. However he is probably pretty strong given the recent chapter. He weilds an unknown "turtle" zoan df capable of deflecting bullets. And its safe to say he has CoA as well since he hit and clocked logia user Caribou with a single punch 65.9.20.178 15:36, January 11, 2012 (UTC) Fan

Bad eyesight
judging from his miss reading 200 million as 2 billion, is it safe to say that h has bad eyesight? and if so where on his article do we put it?85.164.61.216 16:24, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

No, that could just be a translation error. Check the raw if you want to be sure, though. 16:25, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

It could also be a mess up from Oda, since he would be completely shocked that a pirate has a bounty almost 10 times bigger than his!

Actually he has a point due to Pecoms tiny eyes maybe he really does have bad eyesight and that enables him to read Caribou's bounty instead of us assuming its a translator error or a oda screw up. 17:07, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

It was a translation error. Mangastream fixed it http://mangastream.com/read/one_piece/48504148/11. It says million now. 17:10, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Legendary Zoan?
He seems to be baised around the chinese turtle lion statues, and since really the only animals who talk are a result of humans takeing zoan devil fruit, his lion and turtle body would most likely be from a zoan. so perhaps he's a legendary zoan baised off chinese mythology?173.238.172.212 18:20, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

We dont know yet. Only that is a Zoan. Maybe its a normal turtle.

Pekoms simply transformed into his hybrid state, keeping his tail. In order for your idea to work he would have to be able to transform completely into both a lion and turtle, which would be two abilities. He is simply a lion who can transform into a turtle. 19:38, January 11, 2012 (UTC)
