One Piece: The Strongest Female Pirate Crews

"Hahaha, the Big Mom Pirates are so disgraceful! They were taken down three-on-one and got completely wiped out. Too weak."

"This just shows that the Sun and Moon Pirates are much stronger than the Big Mom Pirates."

The ocean began its second round of mocking Big Mom.

Of course, there were also some rational analysts.

"Don't be so quick. The wager isn't over yet. The top Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates, Katakuri, known as an undefeated monster, hasn't made a move yet."

"Exactly, it's just the beginning. Big Mom hasn't even taken action yet. The victory or defeat of the crew members is nothing compared to the clash of captains. As long as Big Mom defeats Kuke, it's a win for the Big Mom Pirates."

"I still have confidence in Big Mom. There is a chance she can beat Kuke."

No matter how many times the Big Mom Pirates fail, it shouldn't end up worse than the Beasts Pirates. At least they should be able to defend their territory, and Big Mom wouldn't be driven away.

"Just wait and see. I am sure that Lord Kuke will walk away with all the spoils he has now."

The majority were on Kuke's side.

....

On Whole Cake Island,

Big Mom sat alone in place, dazed for a long time.

Nearby, Katakuri and the others looked at Big Mom in lingering fear.

Even though they had fed her favorite food,

Big Mom still looked lost and unconscious.

Was the food craving attack still not over?

Big Mom sat alone on the ground, eyes empty, as if soulless.

Her large face, covered in folds of flesh, had lost its previous ferocity and malice, looking somewhat blank instead.

"Didn't take advantage and attack?"

Big Mom sighed deeply.

The moment she regained clarity,

When her memories and rationality returned, Big Mom felt despair. She had already braced herself for being captured by the Sun and Moon Pirates, her family annihilated.

But the result,

Was completely unexpected.

Nothing happened at all.

Kuke of the Sun and Moon Pirates didn't make a move, not even a hint of taking advantage of the situation.

This was hard for Big Mom to understand.

She knew that if she were in a similar position, she wouldn't have hesitated for a second. Who cares about morals? They were all pirates; the only thing that mattered was getting what she wanted. Winning was all that counted.

The sea only remembers the victors.

All the people Big Mom had met in her life,

Whether it was the Rocks Pirates she had joined in the beginning, Rocks himself, or her close comrade Kaido,

They all had that same brutal personality.

Encountering today's situation was so unprecedented,

Big Mom was stunned.

Her mind, for a long time, just couldn't process it.

"That guy really..."

Big Mom wiped her drool, trying to say something nice.

But then she remembered that Kuke had taken Smoothie and the others from her.

Had brought upon her an unprecedented defeat and humiliation.

She just couldn't bring herself to say it.

Big Mom sat there, dazed, for nearly half an hour.

Slowly, she raised her head.

She looked at her children, their eyes filled with confusion.

Even Katakuri had lost all hope and confidence in the upcoming pirate game.

"Could Kaido have lied to me?"

After a series of failures,

Big Mom began to reflect.

She was no longer arrogant.

"Could everything in Wano have really been as the newspapers said?" She began to believe.

She picked up a Den Den Mushi.

Dialed Kaido's number.

"Buru Buru..."

"What do you want?" On the other end of the line, Kaido's impatient voice came through. "Old hag, you're still alive? Wasn't it rumored you had an attack?"

"Kaido, cut the crap. I want to ask you, did Kuke really use underhanded tricks and foul methods to beat you in Wano?"

Big Mom questioned him directly.

Before, she believed it.

Now, she didn't.

She had just had an attack herself, and Kuke didn't need to use any schemes to easily succeed.

But he didn't do anything.

Naturally, Big Mom couldn't believe that Kuke would resort to nasty tactics against Kaido.

"Hmph, I don't want to talk about it."

Kaido's heart skipped a beat, realizing he was about to be exposed.

But outwardly, he remained calm, speaking in a tone that suggested he didn't want to talk about painful memories.

Instead, he asked Big Mom, "Linlin, what's the situation now?"

The newspaper coverage was always delayed.

Kaido wasn't sure of the exact situation on Whole Cake Island.

Big Mom didn't hide anything.

She told him everything.

"Old hag, you're really something, aren't you? Are all your children useless?" Kaido couldn't help but mock her.

She had mocked him before.

Now it was time to pay her back.

The mockery instantly enraged Big Mom.

"You bastard! Isn't it your daughter Yamato's fault? You're the real useless one, having such a great daughter and not even being able to keep her. You're the dumbest failure on the sea."

"As if you could keep your daughter either. Old hag, you're even more of a failure than I am."

"You're the failure."

"Failure."

"...."

The two Yonko, their combined age over a hundred years,

Spent ten minutes cursing each other through the Den Den Mushi.

It was Kaido who finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Alright, old hag, instead of berating me now, why not think about how to regain your dignity?"

Big Mom also stopped cursing.

Her large face scrunched up in a painful expression.

Big Mom looked at her children below, who were many in number,

But only Katakuri could hold his own.

She was left with only Katakuri.

Meanwhile, the Sun and Moon Pirates still had many monsters that hadn't even made an appearance.

The gap was too big.

Big Mom had to admit that, compared to the Sun and Moon Pirates, her family had nothing besides numbers.

Big Mom had come to terms with reality.

Today, she wasn't hoping to win big.

If she could at least make up for the losses, or recover even a little bit, she would be satisfied.

"Kaido, tell me how strong Kuke really is. How exactly did he defeat you? Don't you dare lie to me again." Big Mom decided to gather information first.

Only if she had certainty,

Would she make her move.

She was tired of losing.

On the other end of the line, Kaido's eyes flashed brilliantly.

He knew what Big Mom was thinking.

He hesitated. Should he tell the truth?

Or keep lying?

After three seconds of hesitation,

Kaido decided... to keep lying. After all, it wasn't him who would get hurt. As long as there was someone worse off than him, his reputation would improve.

If he told the truth now,

Kaido knew the old hag would still blame him, still resent him.

She wouldn't be grateful.

If she was going to resent him anyway, he might as well go all the way.

"Kuke is very strong. That guy's attack power is almost on par with that old geezer Whitebeard, absurdly strong." Kaido said in a serious tone.

Rage burned in Big Mom's eyes.

So you said Kuke used tricks to beat you?

Bastard.

"But I was indeed taken down because of a gang-up. Although I lost, I discovered Kuke's weakness." Kaido's voice took on a mysterious tone.

Big Mom couldn't stay angry anymore.

She perked up her ears.

"What weakness?"

Kaido grinned. The old hag had taken the bait.

Kaido knew that to make Big Mom believe, he needed a mix of truth and lies. Otherwise, she wouldn't be fooled.

"Kuke has a sudden explosive power that gives him an abnormal attack strength. However... it comes at a cost. It consumes a lot. After defeating me, he was also at his limit. If I hadn't been careless and been ganged up on, I might not have lost.

If he hadn't focused on exploiting my wounds, with my body, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to lose. Even though I lost, he had no strength left afterward. That's why I'm not convinced."

On the Den Den Mushi,

Kaido's ferocious eyes appeared.

His furrowed brow.

All of it conveyed his look of unwillingness.

Big Mom fell into deep thought.

Thinking over Kaido's words.

Recalling the earlier scenes of Kuke's fight with Sengoku.

She believed him again.

"That makes sense. Kuke is only twenty years old, lacking the depth of experience. To be on par with Kaido is already a miracle. High output but short endurance is normal."

Big Mom felt that this made logical sense.

To add to the persuasiveness,

Kaido gave Big Mom a detailed description of all of Kuke's techniques.

He just downplayed the power a bit.

With this information about Kuke's moves,

Big Mom's confidence grew.

Knowing the enemy's abilities was very helpful for victory.

"Kaido, if I win, I'll give you thirty percent of the credit." Big Mom was full of fighting spirit as she stood up.

"Let's go win it back!!!"

"Yes!" Big Mom's confidence infected her children, and they all roared.

They vented their previous frustrations and resentment over their losses.
