Whole Cake Island

Whole Cake Island is a large New World island under under the control of Big Mom, one of the Yonko, as her crew's base of operations, being the central island in the 35-island archipelago known as Totto Land (Big Mom's main territory).

Layout and Architecture
The island is quite large, and owes its name to its resemblance to a gathering frosted cakes, and most buildings appear to be covered in what looks like icing. It is because of most these buildings' enormous size that visitors tend to be awed at the first sight of the island, and that the island may seem smaller when seen from afar. Because of massive poles shaped like candles (being even depicted as lit, although it is unknown if their "flames" are real) atop the largest buildings, those particularely look like birthday cakes. The interiors of buildings in general look as if they are made of icing.

At least the island's southwestern coast is covered in a kind of hardened whipped cream, namely meringue.

Weather
The sky above the island is sometimes covered by unique purplish and pinkish clouds, and the island's special weather phenomenon of edible cotton candy snow may stem from those clouds.

Sweet City
Sweet City (スイートシティ) is the capital of Whole Cake Island, with a juice river running through it. Its structures and buildings, made of edible substances, include Big Mom's castle, Whole Cake Chateau. However, some of the town was destroyed when Big Mom started eating it during one of her cravings.

The Seducing Woods
The Seducing Woods (誘惑の森) are located at the southwestern coast of Whole Cake Island, and were the first major place visited by the Sanji retrieval team when they first disembarked on Whole Cake Island. Consistent the island's theme, the forest is inhabited by bizarre living scenery (inanimate objects having faces and singing) and edible surroundings (mostly candy). More specifically, these include a river of melon juice flowing through it, a waterfall of apple juice, talking, clothed animals (some oversized), talking and moving (walking) trees (which have swirled branches, furthering the forest's resemblence to one from a fairy tail) and flowers (among other plants), and talking cakes and lollipops sticking out of the ground. This sentient scenery has a strong sense of maliciousness, as there are skeletons of past wanderers laying around, and the trees and other parts of the scenery constantly move around to block off exit routes and shift the forest's very layout to confuse visitors, regarding it as a "Game of Death", and joyfully singing about how those visitors' brutal deaths might look like. Other strange or preternatural phenomena in the woods include: illusions, mirror versions of individuals, most often visitors themselves, being created by the Charlotte Family's 8th daughter, Charlotte Brûlée; a male giant buried alive so only his head sticks out (which the giant himself says is because he likes it like that), who will ask strangers for apple juice; strong interference with magnetic fields to prevent visitors from finding a way out via Log Poses (seemingly due to strange clocks secured on some trees, which have clock hands spinning uncontrollably).

Whole Cake Chateau
Whole Cake Chateau (ホールケーキ城（シャトー）) is the massive castle of Big Mom, and the largest cake building found in Sweet City, dwarfing essentially all other landmarks found on the island. It is situated roughly centrally on the island, and contains a "queen's chamber" for Big Mom's private use, which has many supersized ice cream cornets and bowls, alongside and other sweet food, around her.

Lake Aprico
Lake Aprico (アプリコッ湖) is a large lake right behind Whole Cake Chateau, which runs into the ocean. Right at the entrance to its port are two Tartes, and only Big Mom's associate crews (and those that are in the process of becoming so) are granted access to the port. Lake Aprico is the current main location of the ocean-going Germa Kingdom. As its name suggests, it may be composed of apricot juice.

Northeastern Coast
The northeastern coast of Whole Cake Island stands out in that, according to Capone Bege, it is the perfect place to "make the undesirables disappear". This is due to an extremely wild and ferocious francy of dotted sharks swimming in the sea around the shore, which will prey upon any so unfortunate to fall in their waters until not even a hair of them remains.

Caesar's Replica Laboratory
Big Mom had her first son, Charlotte Perospero, build an exact replica of Caesar's Punk Hazard research facility on Whole Cake Island, somewhere around Whole Cake Chateau. Having acquired the blueprints, Perospero recreated the high-tech laboratory with pure candy, and then reinforced the entire structure with steel to prevent hazards and risks. Caesar Clown is to work here to finish the gigantification drug he was commissioned by Big Mom to produce (but which he believes is impossible to perfect).

While the building resembles Caesar's original laboratory, and contains all the necessary equipment, certain towers and walls are labelled with "WCI", "WHOLE CAKE ISLAND", and "SWEET", instead of "PH-006" and other like codes.

Population
Whole Cake Island is populated by Big Mom's crew and allies, which include members of races from all across the world, even talking animals, and most of her over 80 children, as well as her grandchildren.

In addition, a wide assortment of anthropomorphic singing objects lives on the island. These animated objects seem to have a habit of repeating their noun name by way of singing or saying it in a melodic fashion; even living objects with a specific name use the noun and not their actual name; however, the objects are not limited just to saying their names, and are capable of rational thought.

Fishman Island Arc
Big Mom, while preparing for a tea party, received a report from Pekoms and Tamago that Fishman Island had failed to provide its requisite amount of sweets for her. However, she then conversed with Monkey D. Luffy, who ate the sweets, and decided to transfer her grudge to him instead.

Totto Land Arc
Big Mom and her subordinates made preparations for her upcoming tea party, in which her 35th daughter Charlotte Purin would marry Sanji in order to form an alliance with the Vinsmoke Family. Big Mom had her subordinates go out to other islands and murder people in order to steal ingredients for their cake.

Later, Linlin enters one of her cravings, specifically for croquembrouche, and rampaged in Sweet City, causing considerable damage and casualties even among her own castle and her sixteenth son. She only quells down when Jinbe feeds her the demanded sweet.

When the Sanji retrieval team disembarked onto the island, they separated into two groups: Pedro and Brook left on a stealth mission to make a copy of Big Mom's Road Poneglyph, while Luffy, Nami, Tony Tony Chopper and Carrot entered the Seducing Woods and became confounded by Charlotte Brulee and the Woods' ever-shifting scenery. Meanwhile, the Germa Kingdom has begun assembling in Lake Aprico, in preparation for their prince's upcoming wedding.

After Pedro and Brook successfully infiltrated Sweet City, they learnt that Big Mom is aware of all of their movements. At the same time, on the island's northeastern coast, Capone Bege and his Firetank Pirates shot Pekoms, who fell into the surrounding, shark-infested waters. Caesar also met with Big Mom in her chamber within Whole Cake Chateau, before her eldest son escorted Caesar to his replica laboratory.
