One Piece: Who Should Be the Next Leader of the Big Mom Pirates?

by

Key Takeaways

  • Big Mom pirates are in disarray post-Wano, but a new leader like Perospero or Katakuri could revive them.
  • Perospero’s lack of sympathy and Candy-Candy Fruit make him a strong potential leader for the crew.
  • Katakuri’s Advanced Observation Haki and moral code could lead the Big Mom pirates in a new direction, potentially allying with Straw Hats.

As a dedicated One Piece fan and avid gamer for over two decades, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as I watch the Big Mom pirates struggle to find their footing after the events of Wano. It’s not uncommon for powerful crews to face hardships, but the Big Mom pirates have always been a unique blend of power and intrigue that keeps me hooked.

As a One Piece gamer, I can’t help but notice the chaos that has engulfed the Big Mom pirates right now. It’s not the first time we’ve seen a crew of such grandeur falter, but the current state of the Big Mom pirates is so dire that some fans are starting to worry they might never bounce back. With standout characters like Katakuri, Pudding, Oven, and Perospero in their ranks, it’s hard not to feel a pang of sadness at the thought of this crew disappearing from the world of One Piece forever.

It appears that the dream of the Big Mom Pirates re-emerging in the story following the events in Wano might not come true. Yet, even if these pirates don’t resurface exactly as they were before, with one of One Piece’s strongest characters taking charge, there is a possibility that the Big Mom Pirates could make a comeback with a new leader at the helm. In such a case, the Big Mom Pirates could become crucial players in the final chapters of One Piece, provided they regroup properly. All it takes is a new leader to step up.

What Happened to the Big Mom Crew in One Piece?

A Superpower in Shambles

Following the occurrences on Whole Cake Island, Big Mom and half her gang embarked towards Wano, while the remaining crew members, including Katakuri, remained there. In a subsequent raid at Onigashima, both Big Mom and her eldest son Perospero were vanquished by Kid and Law respectively, while Nekomamushi managed to subdue Perospero. Details about Perospero’s fate afterwards are scarce, but Big Mom is depicted sinking unconsciously in molten lava after her defeat. The crew members who departed for Wano, such as Smoothie, can be seen responding to a message from Vegapunk on Egghead Island; however, their current location remains undisclosed.

Regarding the other half of Big Mom’s pirates in the series One Piece, during the Wano events, it was Blackbeard’s pirate crew who invaded Whole Cake Island. They managed to enter the island, overpower Cracker, and abduct Pudding. Interestingly, Katakuri and his strong brother Oven were on the island too, but they were both poisoned by Caesar Clown, causing them to engage in a fierce battle against each other.

Perospero Would Make a Perfect Big Mom Replacement

Cruel, but Effective

Given the chaotic sequence of events affecting the Big Mom pirates from One Piece, for the crew to regain their strength, they require a powerful leader to rally their forces. With Big Mom currently out of action and possibly deceased, even when she was alive, the crew often debated who should be their future leader. Essentially, among the siblings, there’s widespread agreement that either Perospero or Katakuri could take charge.

The odds don’t look too sweet…but I don’t plan on losing!

Beyond being the eldest brother in their crew, Perospero exhibits cunning and intelligence as a leader, much like the ruthless compassionlessness of the ex-Empress Big Mom. However, he is not the strongest member of the crew. Nevertheless, the Candy-Candy Fruit, which he possesses, holds immense power, making him capable in combat to some extent. Most notably, if Perospero were to assume command, it’s highly likely that the Minister of Candy would govern the crew in a manner similar to Big Mom now, aiming to uphold the ex-Empress’s wishes.

Katakuri Would Bring the Crew Forward in One Piece

A Potential Ally to Luffy

Despite being a strong contender for leadership, Perospero was defeated in One Piece’s raid on Onigashima. Given this turn of events, it’s possible that Katakuri, who is adored and powerful among the Big Mom pirates, might be an even better choice. With his Advanced Observation Haki and strong moral principles, Katakuri could steer the Big Mom pirates in a new direction. In fact, there are many who think that if Katakuri were to assume command of the crew, he would likely form an alliance with the Straw Hats, given his respect for Luffy. Some even speculate that he might seek the aid of the Straw Hat crew to rescue Pudding from Blackbeard’s grasp.

If you’re going to laugh at that idiot…then laugh at me too…!

Ultimately, predicting where one of the strongest pirate crews from “One Piece” might head in the future can be quite challenging due to the unpredictable nature of the series. Even without Big Mom, they maintain their significance, especially with their recent association with Blackbeard. Although there are numerous possibilities on how Oda might conclude the story for this crew within “One Piece”, it’s clear that the saga of the Charlotte family is far from over.
