Chapter 110: Big Mom

Kaido seemed super tough at first. But then we find out he's a jerk in Wano, and the Marines can't seem to keep him down for good after they catch him. This makes things confusing.

Kaido's defenses are strong, for sure, but it depends on who he's fighting. Since he's been caught a lot without being killed, some people think he has some crazy healing power.

But that's not true. He just has a special Devil Fruit that lets him turn into a dragon, not some super healing. Even Momonosuke hurt him, which shows this.

If the Marines can't even handle Kaido, what's the point of them? It makes you wonder if they're any good at all.

The bigger problem is that Kaido seems different from how he was introduced at first. This makes it hard to believe him as a character.

The whole world-building thing seems messed up too, like with Kozuki Oden. He takes people's stuff without paying, which doesn't fit with how he's supposed to be.

This, along with a bunch of dumb decisions, makes Wano a frustrating place. If Oden knew he couldn't win, why wouldn't he ask for help from somewhere else? But nope, nothing like that.

Coupled with Momonosuke's irritating character, Wanokuni has become quite strange, and unsuitable as a personal setting.

***

Kaido's side is drinking heavily, and Big Mom's side isn't much better.

They didn't dare to bother Luo Ning, so Kaido could only drink to ease his boredom. As for Big Mom, she brought up the previous matter because of this situation.

"Katakuri, did you deliver the invitation to the tea party I asked you to prepare?"

Because Luo Ning reappeared, and this time it involved Caesar Clown, Big Mom remembered the invitation to the tea party again, which shocked everyone.

You see, they had been putting it off before, and with the business with the Celestial Dragons, Big Mom temporarily forgot about it, but now she remembered it again.

This makes things difficult for them.

"Mama, Luo Ning is the warden of Impel Down, and he hates pirates altogether. We are a pirate, so there's no way to send the invitation over."

Katakuri could only explain reluctantly, while the others looked at Katakuri with some fear. After all, Katakuri dared to explain this to his mother, and if it were any other insignificant child, it would probably be over for them.

Big Mom's treatment of her children has always been purely utilitarian. In the original story, she went berserk because of a craving and killed one of her sons.

Although she killed him in a fit of rage, she didn't care at all after she recovered, as if what she killed was just an insignificant little person.

It can only be said that someone like Big Mom is truly cold-hearted. Of course, this could also be due to the influence of the nuns.

Although Big Mom suffered from food cravings as a child, her nature isn't necessarily bad. On the contrary, she is shown to be kind.

There are two theories about Big Mom's later personality. One is that Whitebeard damaged her.

The other theory is that after Big Mom ate her Devil Fruit, her soul didn't disappear, but instead tried to take over Big Mom's body. However, Big Mom was too strong, and her fruit couldn't completely control her.

Since the fruit wasn't good, this theory suggests that it influenced Big Mom's personality significantly.

The latter theory holds more weight. Prometheus, Big Mom's homie, isn't a special creation of hers, but rather created by the fruit. Normally, if the previous user of a Devil Fruit died, even during a temporary ability transfer, the homie wouldn't continue to exist. Yet, Prometheus did.

It's possible Big Mom recreated Prometheus later on.

Everyone around Big Mom lived in fear, worried she might kill them in a fit of rage.

"That means you didn't follow through on what I asked you to do, is that right?"

Big Mom's expression turned dark, making everyone sweat.

"Yes... yes, Mama!"

Even a tough guy like Katakuri couldn't help but be afraid of Big Mom.

"That's not the answer I'm looking for. You're my strongest son and my pride. Don't disappoint me! This is your last chance. If it happens again, you know the consequences!"

Facing her most outstanding son, Big Mom chose to tolerate it once, but only this time.

"I... I see, Mama!"

Katakuri's face was grim. At this moment, he had a splitting headache. Luo Ning, who was terrifying before, became even more frightening after this incident. Katakuri genuinely feared that if he wasn't careful, he would be killed by the other party.

"Good!"

With that, Big Mom departed.

"Big Brother Katakuri, what should we do now? This is our last chance. If we don't succeed this time, the consequences will be dire!"

A group of people looked to Katakuri. There were no other options left.

"Leave this to me. While it's unlikely the other party will agree to our terms, you'd better be prepared. In case he take a fancy to one of you, you must be cautious afterward!"

Katakuri shook his head and left. He chose to go alone, even though he could have sent others.

However, doing so might anger Luo Ning, potentially leading to their deaths. He didn't want his siblings to die in front of him, so he chose to face it himself.

Even if he were to die, he would be the first to fall.

It must be said that Katakuri truly cares deeply for his siblings, proving himself to be a very responsible elder brother.

Naturally, those words were directed towards his unmarried younger sisters. After all, there's always a need for contingency plans, wouldn't it?
