Charlotte Family

The Charlotte Family is the family of Charlotte Linlin of the Yonko, also known as Big Mom.

Members
The family consists of Charlotte Linlin and her 85 children (39 daughters and 46 sons), of which at least two are deceased. Big Mom has taken 43 husbands, and some of her children have children of their own. The family is the foundation of the Big Mom Pirates, and Linlin herself continues to marry off her children to powerful allies in order to bolster her crew's strength.

The oldest and youngest child are separated by 42 years. Over those 42 years, Big Mom has given birth every single year. She has given birth to multiple children at once several times, with her largest birth being decuplets eighteen years ago.

Husbands and Stepfathers
Linlin married her husbands solely for conceiving children and does not care about any of them. She considers them as outsiders since they are not related by blood. Some of her children hold this view about their stepfathers as well. She even disowned one of her husbands once she gave birth to their twin daughters.

Children
Although they appear to be a caring family, Linlin shows little concern for her children, as she forces them to marry others without taking their personal choices into consideration. She even refers to one of her sons as a "lowly child of mine" when she believes he was protecting her from an attack. When her anomalous eating disorder acts up, she has been shown to unknowingly commit filicide. She even ridiculed Pudding for her appearance. Furthermore, after Lola ran away from a political marriage, Linlin was furious and swore to make her pay and was content with having her die without a shred of care, and treated her twin sister cruelly simply for their resemblance.

The children, in return, are terribly frightened by her, and Opera was shown to fear for his life at the consequences for displeasing her. Chiffon was gravely beaten to the point that she no longer considers herself as a part of the family, nor acknowledged her mother, Big Mom, as a parent and refers to her as a "monster". So far, both Chiffon and Praline are willing to let Linlin die in Bege's assassination.

Pudding once claimed that Big Mom would be willing to show leniency towards her children and would not harm them for any recalcitrant behavior. After Pudding's true nature has been revealed, this can be considered another lie she told to the Sanji Retrieval Team. In fact, Linlin had no problem with killing them as shown with Moscato and Opera. She also physically abused Chiffon unreasonably to vent her rage towards Lola due to their strong resemblance as well promising to kill her for taking part in Bege's plan. She also threatened to kill her oldest son, Perospero, should she discover that he was lying to her about the Straw Hats stealing a spare wedding cake, causing him to worry for his life.

Siblings
The siblings are often seen cooperating with one another in order to complete missions they were assigned to by Big Mom herself, or as a self-assembling army out for revenge for a fallen brother. While most family members are also part of their mother's pirate crew, it was shown that even those who aren't also help them from time to time, from marrying in order to increase crew strength, to straight-out lookouts for invaders.

Despite those assistances, some family members were shown to be hateful, deceitful, suspicious, and threatening toward each other. After Pudding failed to kill Sanji, Daifuku called her a useless good for nothing and slapped her aside to fight Sanji himself.

In-Laws
Both known in-laws were shown to respect their wives, and share their crews' plans with them, even when they are against their spouse's mother. Their wives, in return, consider themselves, once they are married, no longer obligated to their mother and supported their husbands' plans.

When the brothers in-law Katakuri and Bege talked before the Tea Party, they were shown to respect each other's power and position in the Big Mom Pirates, with the former saving two members of the Fire Tank Pirates, and willing to take the blame for the incident in front of the party hall.

Past
At least 48 years ago, Linlin gave birth to her first child, starting her family and earning her the epithet of "Big Mom". For 42 years, she gave birth about once a year, with some of them being multiple births, eventually having 85 children from various husbands. Known births include:
 * 48 years ago, she gave birth to the triplets Katakuri, Daifuku, and Oven, the second, third, and fourth sons respectively.
 * 18 years ago, Big Mom gave birth to decuplets, the largest number of any multiple births she has given.

When Loki, the prince of Elbaf, had fallen for the family's 23rd daughter Lola, Linlin saw it as an opportunity to both put her feud with the giants to an end, and strengthen her power enough to take down other Yonko. Unknown to Big Mom however, Lola left the family to look for a husband she could marry on her own. Big Mom tried to pass Lola's twin sister Chiffon as Lola, but Loki was not fooled and the feud between Big Mom and the giants deepened, causing the Yonko to seek their power in a different way. Because of this, Linlin labeled Lola a black sheep of the family and would have sent assassins after her if she could find her whereabouts. and even assaulted Chiffon for their resemblance. The other children, on the other hand, apparently gave up on their dreams of finding a spouse of their own choice.

Thriller Bark Arc
While traveling from the New World into Paradise, Lola and her Rolling Pirates became prisoners on Gekko Moriah's massive ship, Thriller Bark, with their shadows placed inside zombies. Nami befriended Lola's zombie counterpart while Lola assisted Luffy and the Straw Hats into helping bring down the Shichibukai member. Prior to departure, the Rolling Pirates captain gave Nami the Vivre Card of her mother in case they come across any trouble in the New World.

During the Timeskip
After the Battle of Marineford and Whitebeard's death, the Sun Pirates became subordinates of the Big Mom Pirates and Fishman Island received protection from Charlotte Linlin after Aladine married Charlotte Praline.

Sometime during the timeskip, Urouge defeated Sweet Commander Snack during his attempt to invade Totto Land. However Charlotte Cracker retaliated and defeated the super rookie. Capone Bege also tried to invade Totto Land, but upon his defeat, he agreed to serve under Big Mom, marry Chiffon, and they had a child.

Fishman Island Arc
Big Mom talked to Luffy, who challenged her for the protection of Fishman Island.

From the Decks of the World
Two years later, Lola was sitting at Mozu and Kiwi's bar, talking about the Straw Hats.

Zou Arc
Some time between the Curly Hat Pirates' departure from Dressrosa and the arrival of the Big Mom Pirates on Zou, Big Mom and the patriarch of the Vinsmoke Family agreed to a political alliance. The alliance was to be sealed by a marriage between a member of each family: Sanji, the third son of the Vinsmoke Family, and Pudding, the 35th daughter of the Charlotte Family. Bege presented Sanji the invitation to the wedding and informed him about the consequences if he refused to make an appearance.

Whole Cake Island Arc
The Sun Pirates prepared to flee Big Mom should Jinbe's request to leave her crew not go well, and Praline got angry because she thought Aladine was trying to leave her, but he calmed her down and she agreed to go with him anywhere. Praline then told an inquisitive Jinbe that no one who tried to leave her mother has survived.

Three days before the wedding, Pudding encountered Luffy's Sanji Retrieval Team on Cacao Island and spoke with them. She agreed to help them rescue Sanji, as he had told her earlier that although he really wanted to marry her, he could not because he has to return to his friends.



Meanwhile, as Big Mom rampaged through Sweet City on Whole Cake Island due her craving for a certain sweet, her sixteenth son, Moscato, attempted to calm her down. With no rationality due to her cravings, Linlin uses her power to remove Moscato's lifespan, killing him, which shocked Moscato's siblings Mont-d'Or, Galette, and Opera The Charlotte matriarch only calmed down once Jinbe gave her what she desired. As Mont-d'Or and some others carried Moscato's body away, Big Mom seemingly agreed to let Jinbe leave her, but said that he would have to lose something in return as she pulled out a roulette wheel with pictures of body parts on it.

The next day, Brook read a newspaper article stated that Jinbe took back his words of leaving Big Mom's crew, before Pedro called him after witnessing Pudding in a dress shop in Sweet City. Elsewhere on Whole Cake Island, Bege shot Pekoms off a cliff into shark infested water.

Meanwhile, Big Mom recommissioned Caesar Clown to work on a serum that would turn her family into giants. She gave him two weeks to complete it, or else Perospero would turn him into candy and kill him.



When Luffy's Sanji Retrieval Team (except Brook and Pedro) ventured into the Seducing Woods after arriving at Whole Cake Island, Brûlée and her minions confronted them to hinder their rescue operation. During a scuffle, Brûlée captured Carrot and Chopper, separating the team. After regrouping, Luffy and Nami interrogated Pound, one of Big Mom's ex-husbands. As Pound was giving away information, Cracker appeared and confronted the group. Cracker attempted to execute Pound, but Luffy stopped him, initiating a battle with him. Meanwhile, Brûlée and her minions tried to capture Nami, but the homies stopped when Nami took out the Vivre Card Lola gave to her. Brûlée attempted to capture Nami herself, but Pound rescued the latter. Nami then defeated Brûlée with Thunderbolt Tempo. After an initial struggle, Luffy managed to land a critical hit on Cracker using Kong Gun.



As Luffy supposedly shattered Cracker, the real Cracker appeared from what was revealed to be a Biscuit Soldier. The two continued battling for eleven hours, with Luffy eating Cracker's biscuit creations. Meanwhile, Brûlée chased Chopper and Carrot inside the Mirro-World. Finally, as Cracker rushed in for the kill, Luffy absorbed him into his body with a form known as Tankman, sending Cracker flying out of the Seducing Woods. The defeated Cracker flew into Sweet City and crashed into the Whole Cake Chateau, shocking Mont-d'Or, Galette, and Opera. The three siblings then marched out along with many other Big Mom Pirates to attack Luffy and Nami, engaging them in battle outside Sweet City.

Meanwhile, Big Mom went to meet the Vinsmoke Family for lunch, quelling an argument between Anana and Dolce and Dragée along the way. She and Pudding then met the Vinsmokes, and Pudding spoke to Sanji in private, revealing that she had met his crewmates. However, Sanji had given up on escaping the marriage and decided to marry her.

Outside Sweet City, the army led by the Charlotte Family overwhelmed Luffy and Nami. As they captured the two Straw Hats, they took away the vivre card Nami was carrying. The army then returned to Sweet City with the two Straw Hats in tow.



In the Room of Treasure, Smoothie guarded the three Poneglyphs in Big Mom's possession alongside Tamago. During a conversation with Sanji, Big Mom agreed to allow his friends to leave Whole Cake Island as long as Sanji complied with the wedding. Mont-d'Or, Opera, Galette, and Perospero then took Luffy and Nami to the Prisoner Library and imprisoned the two inside a book. Big Mom then had a Den Den Mushi discussion with the two of them, warning them not to interfere during the wedding. Upon hearing Nami transmitting to her Lola's words, she entered a great rage, claiming that Lola's failed political wedding would have allowed her to gain sufficient power to triumph of all others Yonko, and that by that time, she would have been Pirate King. Opera then stayed in the Prisoner Library in order to watch over them. Afterwards, Big Mom refused to get angry at the Straw Hats, but upon learning Brook had managed to get in the Room of Treasure, she got terribly worried for her Tamatebako and decided to go there herself. She then broke into the Room of Treasure, destroying the door in the process, and confronted Brook herself.

Inside the Mirro-World, Brûlée, having eventually captured both Chopper and Carrot, planned to cook and boil the latter in some stew. However, the Carrot she had captured was actually a frog created by her own powers, and the real Carrot hatched a plan with Chopper to ambush everyone in her house. After carrying it out successfully, the two captured Brûlée and forced her to guide them through Mirro-World.



Meanwhile, Pudding came to visit Luffy and Nami in the Prisoner Library. She revealed to them that she did not intend to marry Sanji, as she planned on shooting him dead during the wedding ceremony. She then left and attacked Vinsmoke Reiju, taking her to her room. Pudding then revealed to Reiju that her mother's plan since the beginning was to lure all the Germa Kingdom into Whole Cake Island in order to kill the entire Vinsmoke Family and to get her hands on their technology. To fulfill that goal, Pudding, one of Big Mom's favorites thanks to her acting skills, was only pretending to be in love with Sanji all along. Pudding then showed Reiju the gun that she planned to use to kill the Vinsmoke Family. It was loaded with candy-jacketed bullets that are able to pierce through iron. After cruelly mocking Sanji, she then erased Reiju's memories of their little discussion and in place added the memory of a soldier getting hit by a stray bullet, thanks to her Devil Fruit ability. She then ordered her Homies to take her to the nearest infirmary.

Meanwhile, Big Mom summoned Zeus and Prometheus as she battled Brook in the Room of Treasure, easily overpowering him. In the Mirro-World, after being tortured by Carrot in order to make her reveal the access of the Chateau, she angrily answered them to ask the mirrors. In the Prisoner Library, as Charlotte Opera prepared to torture Nami so as to make her reveal Lola's whereabouts, Jinbe arrived and take him out with a single punch. The three of them then escaped as Opera was laying on the ground, defeated. As Luffy started ravaging the first floor of the Chateau, and upon hearing of Jinbe's rebellion, Smoothie, trying not to provoke her mother's wrath, ordered to seal off all corridors leading to the fourth floor and trap Luffy.



Big Mom ultimately defeated Brook, but found no evidence of him tampering with the Poneglyphs and so kept him as a plaything. Pudding then approached Big Mom, and the two went over their planned assassination of the Vinsmokes in the throne room. Meanwhile, members of the Charlotte Family and Big Mom Pirates held a meeting to discuss the statuses of the Sanji Retrieval Team, and Opera lied that he had burned Luffy and Nami to death. The others believed this, but Mont-d'Or was suspicious and had guards patrol the Chateau. Big Mom went to sleep, and as she slept, the Sanji Retrieval Team sneaked into her room and managed to snatch Brook from her after a massive amount of effort. Brook then revealed to the team that he had managed to get copies of Big Mom's Poneglyphs, shocking Brûlée.

Later, the Fire Tank Pirates met with the Sanji Retrieval Team to discuss an alliance in order to take down Big Mom, and Chiffon revealed to Nami and Carrot that she was fine with the plan due to Big Mom abusing her. The two crews formed an alliance, and planned to use Brûlée as a key to enter and exit the wedding through Mirro-World. Luffy also forced Brûlée to make several mirror duplicates of him to aid in his entrance to the wedding. With the wedding very close at hand, Praline and the Sun Pirates left Whole Cake Island in order to flee from Big Mom.



The Tea Party then began as Perospero guided the guests to the venue, where many Charlotte Family members were in attendance. When a man named Jigra attempted to get into the wedding, Charlotte Katakuri shot him down, having foreseen with advanced Kenbunshoku Haki that Jigra was planning to assassinate Big Mom. Big Mom received presents from her guests, which she planned to open along with the Tamatebako after the wedding. The wedding ceremony then began, and Pudding gleefully anticipated shooting Sanji.



However, when she revealed her third eye, Sanji complimented it, causing her to break down due to being ostracized for it her whole life. Due to Pudding delaying the plan, Katakuri attempted to shoot Sanji, but to his surprise, Sanji evaded the attack, causing it to accidentally hit the priest who was also trying to attack. As this occurred, many family members wondered if they should continue the plan. However, several copies of Luffy came flying out of the cake to initiate his alliance's plan, surprising a majority of them. Amidst the chaos, Sanji carried Pudding to safety as he jumped off the toppling cake. Big Mom became enraged at the cake's destruction and tried to attack Luffy, but Katakuri intercepted the Straw Hat, knowing he was going after the portrait of Mother Carmel, which would put Big Mom in a crisis and render her weak. Jinbe then arrived and freed Luffy from Katakuri, before confronting Big Mom and officially resigning from her crew. Big Mom attempted to take away his lifespan in return, but was unable to due to Jinbe not fearing her, and so she attacked him with Prometheus instead. However, in the midst of the chaos, Brook shattered Carmel's portrait with a hammer.

After seeing the destruction of Carmel's portrait, Big Mom went into a state of confusion on what to be mad about. Pudding attempted to shoot Sanji, but he dodged her shots. She told him that this was her true self and said she lied to countless others like Sanji, but she began to waver when he questioned if she lied to herself. Because of Pudding's failure to kill Sanji, Daifuku slapped her and took it upon himself to kill Sanji himself and battled the Straw Hat chef. Oven also battled against Pedro. Meanwhile, Perospero used his ability to detain the Vinsmoke Family and some members of the Charlotte Family point at them with the Walkers. As Judge questioned over Big Mom's betrayal, Perospero mocked him as the Vinsmokes prepared to face their demise.

Katakuri tried to do his best to prevent Luffy from showing Carmel's destroyed portrait while telling his older brother Perospero to kill the Vinsmokes. He managed to slip past Bege, Pedro, and Jinbe, but Luffy still managed to show Carmel's damaged portrait to Big Mom again. Big Mom started her strange scream, immobilizing her children in the process.

Bege and his crew then prepared to assassinate Linlin, but the pressure of her scream nullified their weapons. Katakuri made earplugs for his siblings, and they regained their composure as they chased after the enemy alliance. Bege then transformed into a giant human fortress, and the Charlotte Family continued attacking the alliance as they tried to get inside Bege. Some of them attempted to finish their job of killing the Vinsmokes, but were beaten once the Vinsmokes put on their raid suits. When the enemy alliance all got inside Bege, the Charlotte Family besieged their traitorous crewmate as they immobilized him. Linlin then regained her senses and attacked Bege herself for his betrayal. As she attacked Bege's fortress, her family lay in wait, and when Bege reverted back to his human form, they immediately opened fire on him, but the attack was quickly countered by the Vinsmoke Family. Linlin attacked the Vinsmokes, but was countered by Luffy and Sanji.

As Caesar tried to flee with Bege in tow, Perospero attempted to stop him with a candy wall, but it was shattered by a combined attack from Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. Meanwhile, Luffy (in Gear Fourth) briefly clashed with Big Mom before falling back. Judge then charged at Big Mom, but she shattered his spear before striking him down with Zeus' lightning. As Caesar came close to escaping the venue, Katakuri blocked his path, but Ichiji attacked the Sweet Commander. However, Caesar's escape was hindered once again by Brûlée. Ultimately, the Charlotte Family overwhelmed Luffy, Sanji, and the Vinsmokes as Linlin prepared to execute them. At that moment, the Tamatebako dropped to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and exploded, causing the castle to collapse.

As the castle fell, the Straw Hats, Fire Tank Pirates, and the Vinsmokes took advantage of the distraction by using the time to escape, leaving the Charlotte Family to their fate in the toppling castle. However, Streusen used his ability to turn the falling castle into soft cake, saving the Charlottes in the process. As the Charlotte Family prepared to pursue the enemy alliance, Linlin suddenly developed a craving for wedding cake.

A majority of the Charlotte Family started reflecting on recent events before they began their plans to pursue the Straw Hats, Fire Tank Pirates, and Germa. Before they could move out, a fleeing Smoothie appeared telling them to run away as a crazed Linlin went on a rampage through Sweet City, killing Opera in the process. The family realized that Big Mom was suffering a craving for wedding cake. With Streusen out of commission, the family worried over what to do until Perospero diverted her attention to the Straw Hats, falsely telling her that the Straw Hats had taken the cake. Before leaving, Linlin threatened to kill Perospero if he lied. After Linlin left, the family were at a loss on what to do since they could not make another cake within a short amount of time. Pudding arrived and declared that she would create a new cake for Linlin. She stated that she would have Chiffon help her in making the cake after threatening her into submission. Linlin soon caught with up with the Straw Hats and prepared to attack them.

During the pursuit, Linlin fell off Zeus when Nami distracted the cloud homie with thunderclouds. Meanwhile, Mont-d'Or was giving instructions to the Big Mom Pirates throughout Totto Land to keep the Straw Hats and Fire Tank Pirates from escaping. Brûlée, Daifuku, and Perospero gathered inside the Mirro-World with an army, awaiting further instructions. Katakuri and his soldiers infiltrated the Thousand Sunny, planning to ambush the Straw Hats should they return. Pudding caught up to Bege and asked Chiffon for help, saying that she wanted to stop Big Mom in order to save Sanji and his friends.

As Big Mom continued her pursuit, the squadron sent after the Straw Hats caught up and briefly engaged them in combat. As the Straw Hats continued running, Zeus ended up swelling up with storm energy when he ate Nami's weather egg, and Nami used him to strike Big Mom and her nearby crewmates with a massive lightning bolt. Chiffon agreed to go with Pudding, saying that she wanted to repay her debt to the Straw Hats for helping Lola. After leaving Bege, Chiffon and Pudding went to the Seducing Woods to locate Sanji. On the Sunny, Perospero assumed that the blast was from Big Mom against the Straw Hats, and the squadron onboard the Sunny confronted Brook and Chopper, who had arrived on the Shark Submerge III. Perospero offered to let the two Straw Hats escape, but the two prepared to fight to reclaim the Sunny.

Nami's attack left Big Mom laying at the bottom of a crater. However, Big Mom was barely affected and continued to move, eating through the ground as she moved back up. As the team started running again, Pudding and Chiffon approached them. Pudding tried to tell Sanji about their mission to make a cake, but quickly impeded herself with mood swings as she went from being in love with Sanji to wanting to kill him and back. Chiffon took the lead as she petitioned for Sanji to help them make a cake to satiate Big Mom's eating disorder, and Sanji readily agreed to assist them. Big Mom then got back on her feet and unleashed another devastating attack, and the two groups parted ways with Sanji heading to Cacao Island with Pudding and Chiffon. To help Sanji's group get back on the right path to the Thousand Sunny, Pudding used her Devil Fruit powers to send memories flooding into the souls in the homies, allowing the Straw Hats to make it to the coast without trouble. The trio then flew away from Whole Cake Island, passing over the Thousand Sunny. On the Sunny's deck, Katakuri and Perospero simply stood back and watch as Chopper and Brook fought against the Chess Soldiers.

Eventually, Perospero took action and immobilized Brook and Chopper with candy, covering their entire bodies in it as he revealed that they would turn into candy after it seeped into their body and suffocated them within three minutes. Perospero and Katakuri then noticed company coming, and were surprised to see the Straw Hats still alive and still being chased by Big Mom. Perospero sent a giant candy iron maiden charging at the Straw Hats, but Luffy destroyed it with the fiery heat of Red Hawk before attacking Katakuri. Perospero told Mont-d'Or to surround the coast with Tarte Ships and trapped the Sunny in candy, preventing the Straw Hats from using Coup de Burst. He laughed at their impending doom as Katakuri knocked Luffy down and Big Mom and the Tarte Ships prepared to unleash their attacks on the Sunny. Pedro suddenly raced in to strike him, but Perospero blocked Pedro's attack and managed to subdue the mink, but Pedro revealed a stash of bombs in his jacket and lit them up, engulfing himself and Perospero in a massive explosion.

Thanks to Pedro's efforts, the candy trapping the Sunny, Brook, and Chopper dissolved, freeing them. As the team completed their preparations for their getaway, Katakuri made his move and subdued Carrot when she tried to attack him. Meanwhile, Big Mom grabbed onto the Thousand Sunny. Perospero was shown to have survived the explosion but was grievously injured. To ensure that Katakuri would not hinder the Straw Hats' escape, Luffy grabbed him and Brûlée, who was standing inside a nearby mirror. Luffy then dragged Katakuri into the Mirro-World and the Thousand Sunny successfully escaped Big Mom's grasp and Whole Cake Island with a Coup de Burst. Inside the Mirro-World, Brûlée was rendered unconscious and Luffy smashed the mirror leading back to the Sunny. Katakuri and Luffy then prepared to continue their fight.

Perospero then aided Big Mom in pursuing the Straw Hats on the seas by creating a candy road for her to walk on. As Sanji, Chiffon, and Pudding approached Cacao Island, the sisters revealed to Sanji about Lola's former position as the Minister of Chocolate. Inside the Mirro-World, Katakuri continuously overpower Luffy in both speed and power.

Pudding, Chiffon, and Sanji arrived at Cacao Island, where they began baking a substitute cake with the assistance of Whole Cake Island's 31 most renowned head chefs. Inside the Mirro-World, Katakuri ordered Brûlée to facilitate an assault on the Sunny and set it on fire. Their siblings Mascarpone and Joscarpone came with a mirror leading to the Sunny, and Katakuri thwarted Luffy's attempts to stop them. Mascarpone and Joscarpone shot flaming arrows into the bathroom and setting it ablaze while Brûlée prepared to lead a massive invasion of the Sunny. Meanwhile, Big Mom created a massive wave to assault the Thousand Sunny.

After the wave attacked, Perospero believed that Big Mom sank the ship and informed his siblings inside the Mirro-World. As Luffy was distancing himself from the nearby Big Mom Pirates, Katakuri further assaulted him and prepared to kill him.

Having overheard Luffy's conversation with his crewmates, Brûlée informed Perospero that the Thousand Sunny was heading for Cacao Island. Katakuri began attacking Luffy with his trident and revealed his Devil Fruit's awakening. After he wrapped Luffy in mochi, Katakuri foresaw Luffy using Gear Fourth. On Whole Cake Island, Mont-d'Or lost track of the Straw Hats and the Fire Tank Pirates due to the territorial sea slugs being inactive. At the Germa Kingdom, Charlotte Nusstorte and his pursuit squad were defeated by the Vinsmoke Family. While impersonating Nusstorte, Niji contacted Mont-d'Or and tricked him into believing that Germa 66 had been crushed.

Back inside the Mirro-World, Katakuri prevented Luffy from activating his Gear Fourth and buried him under a large pile of mochi. Believing that their battle was finished, Katakuri called his chefs, who brought snacks to him. He then created a mochi house so he could eat his snacks in private. However, Luffy escaped by eating through the mochi and broke into Katakuri's house, exposing his face. Furious, Katakuri dispatched his chefs before he resumed brawling with Luffy, who activated Gear Fourth.

With Gear Fourth, Luffy gained the upper hand against Katakuri, dealing some damage to the Sweet Commander. However, once Katakuri regained his composure, the battle shifted to his favor. Oven and his forces arrived at Cacao Island, waiting to ambush the Straw Hats. Upon seeing Pound, Oven attacked him. Pudding, Chiffon, and Sanji remained focus on making the wedding cake, ignoring the commotion outside the factory. Back at Whole Cake Island, the Charlotte Family received a report that Big Mom was attacking Nuts Islands and they heard that the territorial sea slugs went missing. It was revealed that Praline enchanted the sea slugs with her singing voice.

With Luffy losing his advantage, Katakuri resumed overwhelming Luffy. Luffy ran out of time with his Gear Fourth and he retreated from the battle with Katakuri chasing after him. Luffy found Brulee, grabbed her, and escaped the Mirro-World before Katakuri could catch him. Brulee and Luffy arrived at Nuts Island. Perospero and Amande tried in vain to dissuade Big Mom from destroying the island, but they spotted Luffy. Perospero then directed Big Mom's attention to Luffy, and she began pursuing him. Meanwhile, other members of the Charlotte Family assembled a fleet to go after their enemies once more. Back at the Sweets Factory, Chiffon, Pudding, Sanji, and the other chefs finished baking the cake. They prepared to set sail and add the finishing touches to the cake while on the way to the Thousand Sunny.
