Lmfao, they are so fucked. I was expecting my heart to sink, or to feel some kind of dread for the Straw Hats, I was not expecting to be laughing at their misery. I think it's because so many people called Big Mom breaking the mirror with her screams, but you never get used to that kind of look on someone's face lol. Even Brulee had a look on her face like "yeah, we're boned". I don't think this form should surprise anyone from Bege, I mean it is literally the caste-castle fruit. Gotta love the eyes and the stone cigar though. I'm sure he can maybe hold off the enemy forces for a bit, but I doubt it will be for long. I'm curious to see what The Vinsmokes + The StrawHats + FireTank Pirates come up with in the short time they have.

As for the hinted cannibalism, I'm still on the fence as well, but I gotta love the people that read the spoilers and have gotten up on their high horses like there was definitive proof. I definitely agree that all the evidence more than likely points that way, especially with Big Mom having the fruit confirmed. However that still means that revealing Carmel's true nature served NO PURPOSE whatsoever, other than maybe 100% confirming that the WG/Cipher Pol buys off children into slavery or the marines, rather than just turning a blind eye to it like was implied with Doflamingo's auctioning house and the Celestial Dragons. Why draw so much detail into those kids just to kill them off literally the next chapter? The chubby kid with the shades even made a couple of cameos, albeit visions in Big Mom's head. Big Mom's dream is given a little more detail, and in addition to being able to sit eye level with her family at dinner, she wants to SPECIFICALLY recreate that experience of those people at that table that day. So those other kids were important to Big Mom as well, and we don't even have names.
