Totto Land

Totto Land is an archipelago in the New World. It constitutes the main territory of one of the Yonko, Big Mom, and her crew, the Big Mom Pirates, which extends around Whole Cake Island. It is navigable with a New World Log Pose.

According to Pekoms, it is considered one large, powerful nation, and Big Mom, as its queen, wants it to become a utopia, which unifies all races of the world.

Totto Land is the setting for the Totto Land Arc and is the fourth location the Straw Hat Pirates visit in the New World.

Layout
Totto Land is a massive archipelago with Whole Cake Island, Big Mom's base of operation, in its center, and 34 subsidiary islands, arranged roughly in concentric circles. Each subsidiary island is ruled by a minister. It seems that all islands are themed after food.

Some of the islands have rivers made of juice (such as of sweet syrup) flowing into the ocean to form sections called "Mizuame", which maintain the juices' colors and freeze at night; it takes only the warmth of the day to make them juicy again.

Tartes
Seemingly tens of outposts called "Tartes" are located at or near the coasts of Totto Land's islands, consisting of watchtowers in the shape of confectionery tarts, hence their names, in which smaller branches of the Big Mom Pirates are stationed. Any unauthorized ship sighted by them is immediately shot down. Scout ships named "Tartes" (偵察船 (タルト)) sail around the sea area to also shoot down intruders. "Tarte Inspections" (タルトの検問) happen at the Tartes to verify seemingly authorized ships. Finally, territorial sea slugs, scattered across the immediate sea, send out warning signals to Den Den Mushi to warn visitors and alert whatever Tarte is within reach.

Administration
As its queen, Big Mom has supreme authority within Totto Land. However, much of the daily governance and administration of Totto Land's various islands is managed by those of her children who hold ministerial positions. Each of Totto Land's 34 islands (not including Whole Cake Island) is governed by a Minister; known Ministers include:


 * Minister of Candy (キャンディ大臣) — The minister responsible for governing Candy Island. This position is held by the eldest son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Perospero.
 * Minister of Gelato (ジェラート大臣) — The minister responsible for governing an unknown island. This position was formerly held by the 16th son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Moscato.
 * Minister of Chocolate (チョコレート大臣) — The minister responsible for governing Cacao Island. This position is held by an unknown member of the Charlotte Family.
 * Minister of Biscuit (ビスケット大臣) — The minister responsible for governing Biscuits Island. This position is held by the 10th son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Cracker.
 * Minister of Nuts (ナッツ大臣) — The minister responsible for governing Nuts Island. This position is held by an unknown member of the Charlotte Family.
 * Minister of Cheese (チーズ大臣) — The minister responsible for governing Cheese Island. This position is held by the 19th son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Mont-d'Or.
 * Minister of Butter (バター大臣) — The minister responsible for governing an unknown island. This position is held by the 18th daughter of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Galette.
 * Minister of Whipped Cream (生クリーム大臣) — The minister responsible for governing an unknown island. This position is held by the 5th son of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Opera.
 * Minister of Juice (ジュース大臣) — The minister responsible for governing an unknown island. This position is held by the 14th daughter of the Charlotte Family, Charlotte Smoothie.

It has been shown that Totto Land's administration is highly bureaucratic. When the Sanji Retrieval Team first make landfall on Cacao Island, Pekoms explained the complex manner in which jurisdiction worked among the islands - namely, that when buildings and other structures are constructed using different types of food, the Minister in charge of that food will have jurisdiction over its use and distribution, even if the structure is being built on a different island. Furthermore, islands have been shown to employ their own police force, to prevent such crimes as "snackalism" of private property (i.e. eating parts of buildings illegally).

Because of the potential trouble should a Vivre Card of Charlotte Linlin fall into the hands of the enemy, which would render the Homies completely powerless against the wielder, even her children are forbidden from carrying one around.

When Lola escaped from a political marriage to Elbaf prince Loki, which prevented Linlin from reconcile with the giants, Linlin branded Lola as a criminal of Totto Land. Lola is to be killed should she ever return to the archipelago.

Inhabitants
Totto Land is most notable for being home to members of almost every race and tribe in the world, as Big Mom claims to desire a utopia where all races and species can live in harmony. The known races that inhabit Totto Land are Humans, Fishmen, Merfolk, Minks, Longarms, Longlegs, Dwarves, Three-Eyed, along with several hybrids of different races. Strangely, living objects (such as furniture, ships, food, etc.) as well as talking animals that are not clearly Minks or Zoan fruit users also live in Totto Land. These living objects and talking animals are referred to as "Homies", and were essentially brought to life and given human-like traits by Big Mom's Soru Soru no Mi. Big Mom also has a liking for collecting rare and unique animals for her own amusement. All the citizens of Totto Land must donate one month of their lifespan every six months as a fee for Big Mom's protection or else they must leave.

Despite the diversity of the races within the archipelago, there are no giants living there. Every giant in the world detests Big Mom for a certain reason, and after a failed attempt to reconcile with them, which only further deepened their animosity for her, she effectively gave up on trying to bring them over to her side.

Chess Soldiers


The Chess Soldiers (チェス戎兵) are Totto Land's basic military force. They consist of white chess piece-themed Homie soldiers, who have card suit-themed shields depending on the chess piece: They may act in a variety of roles, such as guards and ship inspectors at Tartes. Some of them are also employed on Big Mom's flagship.
 * The Pawn Soldiers (ポーン兵) have a Heart theme.
 * The Bishop Soldiers (ビショップ兵) have a Diamond theme.
 * The Knight Soldiers (ナイト兵) have a Spade theme.
 * The Rook Soldiers (ルーク兵) have a Club theme.
 * The King Soldiers (キング兵) and Queen Soldiers (クイーン兵) do not seem to have a card theme.

They appear to be quite powerful, as both Brook and Charlotte Mont-d'Or commented on their strength, with the latter being impressed that Monkey D. Luffy was able to beat most of the army, even though he was at his physical limit (and with Nami wielding a Vivre Card of Big Mom hampering their performances). Despite their strength, they are susceptible to the power of the Yomi Yomi no Mi, which can render them inanimate.

Biscuit Soldiers


The Biscuit Soldiers (ビスケット兵) are one of Whole Cake Island's military forces. As such, they patrol all around the island. They are created by the Devil Fruit ability of the Minister of Biscuits, and are turned into sentient homies by Charlotte Linlin's powers.

They are very tall, being at least two times taller than Monkey D. Luffy, a normal-sized person. They are also very tough, although they can be shattered with sufficient force, and water soften them enough to be eaten. They are also hollow, allowing people to hide inside them.

When patrolling, they wear a biscuit armor, and a biscuit helmet topped by a little spike, similar to a Roman helmet. They also wield a huge biscuit replica of the Meito Pretzel. During the night, they are stored within Whole Cake Chateau.

Trivia

 * The kanji used for the name, 万国, means "all countries/nations".
 * The islands of the archipelago share the Charlotte Family food theme.
 * While not part of the archipelago, Fishman Island is also protected by the Big Mom Pirates, and fish are mostly considered a type of food.
 * Being a major part of the Big Mom Pirates territory in the New World, the islands also share the crew's fairy tale and fantasy fiction theme.
 * Some of the homies can be a reference to Beauty and the Beast, where Beast's staff is cursed into talking moving household objects.
