Issho had far more experience in the world, and he could tell at almost a glance that something was wrong with Big Mom.
That wrongness was not merely reflected in Big Mom's bearing and combat strength. More importantly, something was off about her words, actions, and logic.
Perhaps the Three Sweet Commanders had noticed it too, but they were unwilling to admit it.
Yet the most helpless thing in this world was that there were countless Devil Fruits as bizarre as the Hobby-Hobby Fruit. Devil Fruits capable of stealing souls were not impossible, and Devil Fruits that allowed possession and rebirth were hardly beyond people's imagination.
Had someone taken over Mama's body?
What Pedro and the others thought was not entirely accurate, but the meaning was the same. They looked as though they had lost their parents, utterly unwilling to believe such a thing.
But according to their beliefs and worldview, their Mama could never possibly collude with the enemy. Yet now, she had indeed shown a conciliatory attitude before these youngsters from the Revolutionary Army. What she said was clearly very likely true.
Furthermore, if she were truly their Mama, she could not possibly be unaware that the Revolutionary Army had replaced the Marines. Yet she was still trying to make friendly conversation with them using CP0.
Clearly, she knew nothing about it.
Even more terrifyingly, she had mistaken the Revolutionary Army for some special Marine unit. It was as though she had directly lost all memories of the past few years.
That was truly frightening—frightening for children like them!
For a moment, everyone at the scene was intimidated by Big Mom's words. No one dared make a move.
"Who are you, and why are you inside Big Mom's body?" Ace signaled for Kyros and Jozu to step back.
