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..
