SEllen23 Thank you for the review! There will be more humor from now on hope you like this new chapter.
The Richmaster I decided to write a little flashback for Bonney her reasons and ambitions, hope you like! For the "Zoro and Chopper looked scared" I understand what you and you're correct, maybe the "starled" or "shocked" would be a better choice of words? I wanted to show that they are surprised, but anyway, nothing that I cannot change! Thanks for the warning! Hope you like this chapter!
sarge1130 His lack of notion about who they were will be explained (but lets not forget that everyone seems to not notice who they were in the manga … but the man, now a baby will have his participation later on). I'm glad you like and hope you like this chapter as well. Thanks for the comment!
MakogirlY14 Hello! I love OP theories and I put a lot of them in this fic. Doflamingo part in this will be revealed later on. More and more revelations and new info will appear, hope you like this chapter and thanks for the comment!
Well people, I had a lot of problems to write this chapter, it's like my English regressed, I simply couldn't find the right words and so on. I revised it, write it on my own language first to make the ideas more clear, but something still bothering me. Now after several tries, I believe it is as good as I could get. Hope you guys like this chapter, and I promise the next one will be posted sooner and probably more grammatically correct!
See ya!
Her mother always told her that the woman is the neck and the man is the head and body.
Without the neck the body won't survive, without the neck, the head alone is useless, the neck needs to be there to connect the two.
According to her mother, the woman didn't need to be physically strong, she didn't need to fight all the battles in person, all that the woman has to do is to be the neck and guide the head to where she wants to go and be.
Since she remembers, this is what she had to do.
She has to get married and share her mother's will and ambitions, turning the head above her neck to the direction that her mother desire.
She and all of her sisters.
But she didn't clearly remember when that idea has become a rule within her family.
She remembered what one of her older sisters told her, 'Mama was not always a Yonko, Mama was not always a pirate. But Mama knew about money and politics better than anyone else.'
The feared and powerful pirate was her mother's first husband and the father of her two oldest sisters.
She never knew what happened, all she knew was that one day, a crew member entered in his captain's chamber after hearing screams and cries.
There he found one of her sisters crying and her mother, until that moment known only as Charllote Linlin, all bloody - the blood that doesn't belong to her, but to her husband and captain of the ship.
Charllote had not only had bitten him to death, but also eaten the pieces that she took off.
Contrary to what was thought the crew didn't turn against her mother, they actually embraced her as the new captain. And her mother gradually turned that pirate crew into a family…
A gang…
A mafia…
And like all the mafia, it worked by extortion, deals and agreements, and at some point before she was even born these agreements started to be made through marriage.
If you marry Charllote Linlin's daughter or son, you and your family become part of Charllote family. As a part of the family, you get protection and protects the family in return - because that's what a family does, her is the Mother of all those below her, she is the BigMom.
With the marriage everyone in the family had a directly connection to her mother, and there is no better soldier, no better defender, no one who would be willing to sacrifice and die for someone than a child to its mother.
When she was born she no longer had a choice, she would marry someone chosen by her mother to establish financial, commercial and influential relationships.
But she doesn't wanted it, her mother was BigMom and yet that was what she expected of her daughters and sons, nothing but mere pawns?
Bonney didn't want the same as her siblings; she had no desire to marry or the fear of decline like some of her siblings.
She wanted more; she wanted to sit in that big chair, eating candy all day, dictating the rules and cutting off the heads of those who disobeyed.
There will be more than just tea parties; there will be enormous banquets, barbecues, lunches.
She would leave the South Blue, her birthplace and go alone to the New World.
And for that to become true, she tried to show that her was different from the others - from her clothing to her behavior - she participated in the fights, she ate more and with the pirates, she gave and not took them and refused all suitors, going against her mother's will.
She did it to the point that her boldness became untenable, to the point she wasn't invite for tea parties anymore.
Not that she cared about it.
She joined a group and started to 'play pirates' as her mother said. She endured the taunts and humiliations, all aiming to make her give up.
But one day something changed.
His mother was not one good woman, no one gets to where her mother is by doing good deeds, but her mother wasn't someone totally cruel and without reason.
But even with the sporadically meetings, she realized that something was wrong with her mother.
Over time her mother was growing bigger, deformed, her body expanding to ridiculously weights. Of course, after given birth to more than 80 children, her mother's body wasn't the same, but what was happening wasn't normal.
As his mother grew bigger and heavier, she also became more and more aggressive.
More eccentric and megalomaniac.
The punishments became more severe, and for the ones close to her, the respect soon began to turn into fear.
Everyone was afraid that BigMom could eat them.
Everyone but Bonney.
But that soon changed as well, because that was no longer her mother, that was a monster known as BigMom – who devour everything, including her own children.
Bonney barely remembered the reason for their discussion; it was probably about her refusal to marry a guy named Portgas. D Ace. But that was their's desire; Ace was smaller pirate under Whitebeard's flag, who had been attracted by the promise of great amounts of food, and only that.
There was no interest from Whitebeard, the young man was just a fool who got trapped in her mother's strings. A forced marriage that would put Whitebeard or part of Whitebeard's crew under BigMom's command.
But the young man soon realized it was a trap and began to cause mass destruction.
The smell of burned marshmallow was something she remembered even today.
And when she learned that she was the chosen daughter for wedding she tried to help the boy to run away. And that was the last straw.
Ace did go away with a kiss, a 'thank you' and a lot of food. Between them only the promise to see each other again preferably without an marriage in the middle.
And she swore it would be in a battle, she as the new BigMom ready to cut off the heads of Whitebeard's pirates, and he laughed at that, saying he would be ready for it.
She however had another problem at hand, her own mother that never truly act aggressively with her acts of rebellion, had called her to meeting, once she got there she had no time to explain - if it was any of her siblings that attack would have been fatal – she only escaped because she was different, she was better, but it still was close call.
Bonney couldn't do anything but stare in shock, she threw herself on the ground and her mind screamed for her to get up and run away, but her body would not obey – never, even in her wildest nightmares she would have thought that her mother would tried to devour her.
But when that woman she no longer recognized as a mother rose, Bonney find the strength and courage she thought she had lost and started to run like there was no tomorrow, she ran and ran, entered her ship and sailed as far away as possible.
For weeks she hid in an island, ashamed of her reaction and at the same time scared. When from out of nowhere some men from her mother's crew came to take her back to South Blue, the place where she was born and would stay till she find someone important to marry or her mother call her to be married to someone.
She lived with the doubt of what happened for a good year and half until she received an invitation to a tea party.
Being it a formal invitation, she had no choice but to go, and there she found several pirates, kings and mobsters. But one caught her eye, a huge blond man, wearing an elegant suit and a pink feather coat - Doflamingo - one of her sisters told her.
She watched the man from afar; she knew he was a Warlord, and that her single sisters gathered like a flock around the man.
Who marry that man would certainly be mom's favorite.
But Doflamingo didn't seem interested, he said that his heart already had owner - she almost lost her appetite when she heard the lamentations.
"Who is the woman who stole the heart of a man so big, strong and powerful as you?"
One of his sisters asked while caressing the Warlord's torax.
"It is a cruel boy who grabbed my heart in his small hands and yanked it from me, hurting me deeply. To this day I feel a huge squeeze on my chest when I think about him."
That seemed to have thrown a bucket of cold water in them, including her mother, who soon interfered.
"Why don't met one of my sons, Joker? My youngest is very intelligent and knows his way around the finances. A man such as yourself needs someone with that and several others expertise."
"I would like to talk about finances, but I like to deal with my buyer and not with underlings."
Her mother changed and stand up and tall, making a man big like Doflamingo appeared to be small.
"What do you want, JOKER?!"
It was not the first time she heard that name, but this was the first time she saw who was 'Joker' – The King of the Underworld.
"Fufufufufu ... I just came to bring my present, a ship full of candy, your favorite."
His mother, BigMom, salivated like an animal, Bonney didn't know what she loathed more in that scene - it hurt her to see her so powerful and imposing mother behaving like a hungry animal.
After seeing that she left the party, she had no stomach to stay there.
Sometime later while eating, ironically candy, she began to question.
Candy...
Big Mom loves food all kinds of foods, but she never showed a fondness for candy, so to receive from Joker, a ship full of candy sound suspicious.
She started to think and put the pieces together, from time to time such ship docked in the harbor, and it was during this period that Big Mom started getting obsessed, aggressive and big - it had to have a connection - but she could not think of one.
Unable to approach the matter, in pity and fear, Bonney decided to throw her doubts at sea. She would follow with her initial plan, she would be the neck, the head, the whole body. She would strengthen her crew and enter in the New World by herself, she would face her mother, and then she would defeat her and become the new Big Mom, staying above all her siblings.
And the ones who not to obey her, would be devoured!
She would face Whitebeard, she would see Ace again and this time as a feared pirate.
But there was something wrong there, something wrong with her mom, and she gathered information whenever she can to find some answers.
Some unfortunately she got only years later, when she discovered that she could help her mother - not that she gave up the dream of defeat her, but she didn't want to face that freak monster that eats everything and everyone. She wanted to confront and defeat her mother, the powerful and proud pirate that the woman was, not the almost delusional monster that she has become.
And she needed Trafalgar, Doflamingo or the information that these two have, to bring back her mother's lost humanity, so she could defeat her and buries her in the dignified way her mother deserved.
