Chapter Summaries

Mousse persuaded Katakuri that the Charlotte Family needed to secure its future by taking the Farol Islands and weakening the World Government, with Elbaf as a potential ally. Katakuri accepted that conflict was unavoidable, while Mousse considered using the Whitebeard Pirates as a fallback and Katakuri began consolidating the strength he had gained from battle.

• Mousse argued that pirate crews dependent on one powerful captain often collapsed after that captain fell, and urged Katakuri to build the Charlotte Family's strength across its members.
• Mousse said taking the Farol Islands could bring great benefits and help the family form an alliance with or command Elbaf, and Katakuri realized he could not prevent the plan.
• Katakuri resolved to face powerful enemies to protect his siblings, and Mousse reassured him that he would not force an unfavorable attack.
• Mousse proposed giving the Farol Islands to the Whitebeard Pirates if the Charlotte Family could not take them, drawing Marine attention away from the family.
• Katakuri's victory over a stronger enemy boosted his confidence, increased his Haki, and let him sense the flow of Haki for the first time.

Mousse assessed Katakuri and Oven’s growing strength and proposed a way to enhance Oven’s ultimate move by learning the Elbaf Spear. Katakuri welcomed the idea but doubted Mousse’s strategy could overcome the Charlotte Family’s strained relationship with the Elbaf Giants quickly.

• Mousse judged that Katakuri’s Haki and Brick Mochi made him stronger than his future self, though his Devil Fruit left him at a disadvantage against the Admirals.
• Mousse reflected on Oven’s sudden gains in Armament and Observation Haki and his potential to become a threat to Akainu.
• Mousse proposed that Oven could strengthen his Overheat technique by developing his body and learning how to reduce the physical burden of powerful techniques.
• Mousse argued that the Elbaf Spear was a genuine technique whose power exceeded its user’s abilities, while Big Mom’s Ikoku was only an imitation.
• Katakuri asked whether Mousse’s strategy could help the family learn the Elbaf Spear soon, given Big Mom’s terrible relationship with the Elbaf Giants.

Mousse explained his plan to obtain the Pudding Royal Family’s King's Fist and assessed how the Charlotte siblings could strengthen themselves before the war with the Navy. The discussion ended with Katakuri rejecting the idea of copying Cracker’s Biscuit Soldiers, preferring to develop his own fighting style.

• Mousse said he intended to use threats and inducements to make young King Elizabello II reveal the Pudding Kingdom’s King's Fist technique.
• Mousse reasoned that Oven’s Overheat development could help Daifuku, while Perospero and Compote had little chance of making quick gains.
• Mousse judged Cracker’s strengthened Biscuit Soldiers and Pretzel to have made him a greater combat asset than Oven, with the potential to challenge an Elite Navy Vice Admiral.
• Mousse suggested that Katakuri create Mochi Soldiers, but Katakuri said he would rather train his Body Techniques and Haki.
• Katakuri explained that his awakened Mochi Mochi Fruit already let him restrain most Elite Vice Admirals and launch powerful attacks, making Mochi Soldiers less useful than Cracker’s soldiers.

Mousse explained how the Big Mom Pirates could use Katakuri and the Mirror World to control the battlefield against the Navy, while discussing the potential of King James Glenn. At Marineford, Steel Bone Kong learned that Borsalino had been gravely wounded and mistakenly believed he had fought Charlotte Linlin.

• Mousse proposed that Katakuri focus on weaker enemies and explained how Brulee’s Mirror World could let the Big Mom Pirates either fight on favorable terms or retreat from Pharaohs.
• Katakuri and Mousse praised James Glenn’s strength and potential, and Mousse was delighted that the king possessed the Elephant Elephant Fruit.
• At Marineford, doctors reported that Borsalino’s injuries would require organ transplants and could permanently reduce his stamina and ability to use Haki.
• Steel Bone Kong questioned Borsalino about who had wounded him, then grew furious when he assumed Borsalino had fought Charlotte Linlin.

After Borsalino reported his defeat by Charlotte Katakuri, the Navy raised Katakuri’s bounty to 1.5 billion Berries and revealed that two warships had been destroyed. On a deserted island, Judge invited Beck to join Germa 66, but Beck chose to travel through the New World before deciding where to work.

• Borsalino told Fleet Admiral Kong that Katakuri had beaten him with powerful Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and physical strength.
• Kong raised Katakuri’s bounty from 480 million to 1.5 billion Berries after learning of his attacks on Navy personnel.
• Kong told Borsalino that the two Navy warships sent on the mission had been completely wiped out, and Borsalino fainted from the news.
• Beck and Judge discussed the Navy’s defeat and Judge urged Beck to join him at Germa 66 and help him conquer the North Blue.
• Beck declined to leave with Judge immediately, saying he would travel for a year, while Judge promised he would be welcome later.

Beck showed Vinsmoke Judge the high-speed submarine he had secretly built with research funds, and Judge reluctantly accepted the expense while resolving to guard the budget in the future. Unaware that Vegapunk had escaped, Charlotte Mousse worried that his isolated force in the Faros Kingdom could neither fight nor flee if the Marines sent powerful reinforcements, so he urged Katakuri to evacuate everyone.

• Beck demonstrated how his transforming submarine could dive and reach speeds exceeding 100 knots using air jets and a Juice Drive-powered engine.
• Vinsmoke Judge questioned the submarine’s speed and cost, then accepted that Beck had spent 2 billion Berries on it as a self-defense weapon.
• Vinsmoke Judge let the matter go because Beck had used the money for research, but resolved to protect his own funds when Beck joined him in North Blue.
• Charlotte Mousse remained unaware that Vegapunk had escaped because the World Government had suppressed the news.
• Charlotte Mousse urged Katakuri to evacuate the Faros Kingdom, fearing that the isolated group could not withstand or escape Marines led by Sengoku, Garp, or Dragon.

Mousse urged Katakuri to leave Pharaohs overnight to avoid a Navy counterattack, then advised him not to bring Linlin’s distant relatives back to Totto Land. They departed after arranging for James Glenn to contact them once the great mirror was ready, leaving the Faros Kingdom to decide its own course if the Navy arrived first.

• Mousse warned Katakuri that staying in Pharaohs could expose them to a Navy attack and that a strike on Totto Land would be even more dangerous.
• Katakuri decided to leave Pharaohs that night after Mousse explained how delay would increase the risks.
• Mousse advised Katakuri not to bring Linlin’s relatives back to Totto Land, and Katakuri accepted his reasoning.
• Katakuri gave James Glenn his Den Den Mushi number and said the BIG Pirates would formally protect the Faros Kingdom once its great mirror was ready.
• Katakuri told James Glenn to decide what to do if the Navy arrived before the mirror was completed, since the Charlotte Family could not protect him then.

Katakuri’s group brought captured Navy warships, weapons, and prisoners home, while Mousse weighed their value and considered how the prisoners’ souls could strengthen the BIG Pirates. Mousse also reflected on the world’s uneven technology and his plans for research, leaving the spoils’ fate undecided.

• Katakuri chose to preserve the six captured Navy battleships and considered selling them to buy Devil Fruits for his siblings.
• Mousse studied the captured weapons and concluded that their spherical ammunition and limited usefulness made upgrading firearms a poor choice for the Charlotte Family.
• Mousse reasoned that One Piece’s uneven technology let individual geniuses achieve remarkable results while making knowledge difficult to reproduce and spread.
• Mousse considered how the World Government might negotiate over the thousands of Navy prisoners, while recognizing Charlotte Linlin could turn their souls into powerful Homies if talks failed.
• Mousse concluded that Homies made from Navy personnel could retain their firearms and artillery skills, unlike Totto Land’s largely untrained residents.

Mousse and Katakuri returned to Totto Land with captured Marine ships and soldiers, then told Perospero and Charlotte Linlin that their grandmother had died during the Marines’ attack on Pharaohs. Linlin’s grief caused her to lose control, and Mousse theorized that her usual durability came from Armament Haki before recognizing that her lack of training left room for her to grow stronger.

• Mousse considered the captured Marine soldiers and officers valuable potential Homies, while regretting that most of the commanders had been killed.
• Katakuri and Mousse brought the six Marine warships back to Totto Land without being attacked and sought out Perospero to prepare for possible consequences.
• Charlotte Linlin asked why her children had returned so quickly, and Katakuri told her that their grandmother had died after being frightened by the Marine attack on Pharaohs.
• Linlin screamed in grief, released a terrifying aura, and split open her knee as she lost control.
• Mousse suspected that Linlin’s normal resistance to injury came from Armament Haki, which weakened when she poured her strength into Conqueror’s Haki.
• Mousse concluded that Linlin’s lack of a teacher meant she still had substantial room to improve her strength.

After Charlotte Linlin recovered from Soul Scream, Mousse learned that she had killed nearly all the Marine prisoners, provoking the World Government. The Marines destroyed Faros before Mousse could use it as a refuge, leaving him and Katakuri to face the risk of an attack on Totto Land.

• Katakuri and Mousse quickly brought Charlotte Linlin food after her Soul Scream ended, preventing her hunger from triggering Food Addiction.
• Mousse learned that Charlotte Linlin had drained the lifespan of 4,762 Marine prisoners and sent a few survivors back to Marineford to report what happened.
• Mousse worried that the massacre would provoke the World Government and considered fleeing through the big mirror in Faros.
• Katakuri told Mousse that an enormous Marine fleet had destroyed Faros after James Glenn fled with a few trusted followers.
• Mousse abandoned his escape plan and considered settling the matter of the King's Fist, but Katakuri warned the Marines might still attack Totto Land while he was away and manipulate Charlotte Linlin.

Mousse advised Katakuri on preparing the expedition to the Pudding Kingdom and helped Charlotte Daifuku reconsider how to develop his Devil Fruit and fighting skills. Katakuri then revealed that Daifuku acted harshly because he had taken on the role of the family’s villain to protect their younger siblings.

• Katakuri decided to stay in Totto Land while Charlotte Oven led the journey to the Pudding Kingdom, with mirrors prepared for escape and reinforcements.
• Mousse advised Daifuku to heat his body only to about 100°C, arguing that higher temperatures would waste stamina and lifespan for little gain.
• Mousse explained that Daifuku’s Djinn could distract him from improving his own Body Techniques and Haki, and Katakuri recognized that Daifuku’s development had gone astray.
• Katakuri questioned why Mousse had not raised his concerns earlier, and Mousse admitted he was afraid of Daifuku.
• Katakuri explained that Daifuku had deliberately become the feared older brother so Perospero and Katakuri could protect and guide the younger siblings, and he confessed to feeling guilty about it.

Mousse explored whether the Eat-Eat Fruit could strengthen the Charlotte Family, but Streusen explained its limits. He then discovered that Charlotte Linlin had begun training on a deserted island, where her raw power was already leveling a mountain.

• Mousse learned the truth behind his misunderstanding of Daifuku, and Daifuku laughed it off while looking forward to developing his Overheat technique.
• Mousse asked Streusen whether the Eat-Eat Fruit could transform humans, but Streusen frightened him with a joke before explaining that the fruit could not affect things already considered food.
• Mousse reflected on Streusen’s special place in the family and learned that many of Charlotte Linlin’s children, including himself, had been conceived through artificial insemination.
• Streusen told Mousse that Charlotte Linlin had gone to a deserted island to train, and Mousse realized she was preparing for a possible fight.
• Mousse arrived near the island and saw that Charlotte Linlin had nearly demolished a mountain with her fists despite only recently beginning her training.

Mousse learned that Charlotte Linlin could not combine weak souls into a powerful Homie, so he proposed turning a Poneglyph into a massive melee Homie to help the family withstand an imminent Marine attack. Since the Poneglyph required an exceptionally powerful soul, Mousse offered his own, and Charlotte Linlin took him to the Treasure Room.

• Charlotte Linlin told Mousse that combining souls from different sources into one Homie was impossible, and explained that weak souls could still be used for Chess Soldiers and keeping watch.
• Mousse considered how the family could resist the Marines, deciding they needed stronger small-scale fighters rather than more large-area attacks.
• Mousse suggested making a Homie from a Poneglyph because of its immense weight and hardness, and Charlotte Linlin revealed that such a Homie would require an exceptionally powerful soul.
• Mousse offered his own soul for the Poneglyph Homie, and Charlotte Linlin hurriedly took him to the Treasure Room.

Mousse created Homies under Charlotte Linlin’s guidance and learned the differences between Independent Homies and Avatar Homies. He questioned which type would be more useful for the coming battle, especially since he planned to use a Poneglyph as a base material.

• Charlotte Linlin failed to probe Mousse’s soul and let him create the Homies himself while she guided and protected him.
• Mousse struggled to split off part of his soul while learning to create Homies, and Charlotte Linlin explained that the process was difficult because it was his first time and these Homies were special.
• Charlotte Linlin explained that Independent Homies were separate individuals whose strength was fixed and whose souls aged quickly, while Avatar Homies remained connected to their owners and did not shorten their owners’ lifespans.
• Mousse argued that Independent Homies could provide more immediate combat power, but Charlotte Linlin explained that identical Homies could not coexist and that Totto Land’s Chess Pawns had to be replaced repeatedly.
• Mousse concluded that Avatar Homies offered him little value because his Poneglyph-based Homie could not draw on stored energy and he could not merge with it like Charlotte Linlin could.

Mousse argued that he should turn his soul into an independent Homie, but Charlotte Linlin refused and revealed that her Conqueror’s Haki had grown stronger after the crisis. Mousse abandoned the plan to help her and redesigned the Stone Tablet Homie to protect himself, deciding it should be able to fly despite its immense weight.

• Mousse insisted that dividing his soul to create an independent Homie would help the family survive, but Charlotte Linlin refused and knocked him aside.
• Perospero tried to rush to Mousse’s aid, but Charlotte Linlin’s Conqueror’s Haki froze him in place; Mousse soon stood up without serious injury.
• Perospero and Mousse sensed that Charlotte Linlin’s Conqueror’s Haki had become much stronger, and Mousse realized the crisis had strengthened her resolve.
• Mousse accepted that Charlotte Linlin would not rely on his help and changed the Stone Tablet Homie’s design to prioritize protecting himself.
• Mousse decided the more than three-hundred-ton Poneglyph should fly, and Charlotte Linlin warned that its weight would limit its speed and Combat Power.

Mousse and Charlotte Linlin created a Stone Tablet Homie with a huge, disembodied face, which revealed that it could assimilate matching Poneglyphs to gain strength and memories. Charlotte Linlin refused to let it merge with another Poneglyph because of the soul cost, and Mousse left with it to test its abilities on an island.

• Mousse and Charlotte Linlin finished creating a flying Stone Tablet Homie that could shrink, but it emerged as a giant bald head with no body or limbs.
• The Homie begged Charlotte Linlin not to destroy it and claimed that Pluton's main cannon could not harm its kind, though it could not explain what Pluton was.
• The Homie told Mousse that merging with matching Poneglyphs would restore its memories and make it stronger.
• Charlotte Linlin refused Mousse's plan to merge the Homie with a Road Poneglyph because the extra soul needed would put Mousse at risk.
• Mousse followed Charlotte Linlin to a deserted island on the Homie's head to test its Rock Assimilation and flight, but its speed was painfully slow.

Mousse learned how Avatar Homies affected his soul and discovered that the Stone Tablet Homie could assimilate and pull up an entire mountain. He left impressed by its combat potential but puzzled that its flying ability had supposedly weakened its attack power.

• Charlotte Linlin teased Mousse aboard the slow Stone Tablet Homie, which panicked when she threatened to remake it and caused them both to fall onto an island.
• After Charlotte Linlin beat the unharmed Stone Tablet Homie, Mousse realized he had begun thinking of her as his mother and reflected on the protection her strength offered.
• Charlotte Linlin explained that an Avatar Homie's soul remained part of Mousse's soul, while an ordinary Homie's soul was separated and would reduce his future growth base.
• The Stone Tablet Homie explained that its soul belonged to Mousse but that its own personality gave it a survival instinct, and Mousse threatened to melt it down if its abilities proved useless.
• The Stone Tablet Homie demonstrated Rock Assimilation by absorbing a hill and growing into a giant, then pulled up a mountain, impressing Mousse with its strength and strategic potential.
• Mousse wondered why the Stone Tablet Homie's movements seemed as fast as Pica's if giving it flight had seriously weakened its attack power.

Mousse discovered that the Stone Tablet Homie's innate Rock Assimilation made it a powerful, tireless Rock Giant, but decided to leave it behind to protect Totto Land. He tried to read its Poneglyph and learned that turning the tablet into a Homie had not made it able to decipher the ancient writing, leaving him to wonder which version of the Voice of All Things lore his world followed.

• Charlotte Linlin explained that the Stone Tablet Homie's innate Rock Assimilation and its Soul-Soul Fruit-granted flight occupied separate portions of its soul.
• Mousse realized the Rock Giant could rival a Sweet Commander, but chose to leave it behind because its split-type life was tied to him and Totto Land needed its strength.
• Mousse struggled to handle Big Head's tiny seal form because it retained its enormous mass, then named the Homie Big Head after laughing at it.
• Mousse noticed the Poneglyph on Big Head and touched it, hoping the Book-Book Fruit's reading ability would reveal its contents.
• Big Head told Mousse it knew the Poneglyph recorded ancient secrets but could not understand the writing, prompting him to suspect that his world followed the later setting for the Voice of All Things.

Mousse discovered that his Book-Book Fruit could enhance Big Head, Charlotte Linlin’s Homie, and control its speech. He also found that Big Head’s miniature form could change shape while retaining the Poneglyph’s near-indestructible strength, leaving him to explore a new, sword-like ability.

• Mousse found that the Book-Book Fruit let him control Big Head’s speech, and he realized the Homie had gained strength from two Devil Fruit abilities.
• Mousse tested Big Head’s enhancements and found its flying speed could increase dramatically, while its powerful rock assimilation improved only slightly.
• Mousse discovered that Big Head’s original Poneglyph form resisted his ability, but its Mini Form could change into a paper-like scroll without losing its hardness.
• Mousse had Charlotte Linlin strike the scroll with Napoleon, confirming it was undamaged, then found it could turn soft or hard at his command.
• Mousse sent the scroll flying, and it sliced a massive boulder in two, revealing its extraordinary sharpness.

Mousse tested the power of the Book Sword made from Big Head, discovering its overwhelming strength and unusual weight control. He proposed holding a Tea Party before news of Charlotte Linlin’s war declaration spread, intending to bind powerful guests to her side against the Navy by taking portions of their souls as collateral.

• Mousse confirmed the Poneglyph scroll was undamaged after flying at high speed and considered its extraordinary durability and cutting power.
• Mousse found that the scroll felt light in his hands but struck with immense force, sending a huge boulder flying into the sea.
• Mousse concluded that Big Head’s Book Sword was a unique miracle created from rare Devil Fruit powers and Poneglyph material.
• Charlotte Linlin wanted to borrow Big Head and play with its ability to change forms, leaving Mousse reluctant to refuse her.
• Mousse suggested holding a Tea Party before word of the war against the Navy spread, so Charlotte Linlin could make powerful guests support the war by taking portions of their souls as collateral.
