Big Mom on the Ship

No description for this page.

Chapter 890, "Big Mom on the Ship," opens with the sea in panic. Big Mom has become visibly thinner as she chases the Sunny, and the surrounding fleet cries, "Mama's getting thin!" and "What's going on?!" Perospero watches uneasily and asks, "How many years has it been since she was last so light?" while another voice mutters, "She's way too hungry..." Big Mom herself is reduced to a direct, frightening need: "I... I'm starving." The Sunny surges through the water with Big Mom at its side, and she pants, "Aaah hh..." before deciding, "But nothing else will do." The page establishes the immediate danger: she is not merely pursuing them anymore, she is starving, unstable, and close enough to board.

Big Mom crashes onto the Sunny and tears into the ship while demanding, "Where is it?! The wedding cake?!" The crew recoils as she searches the deck and cabins, saying, "Not here... And not here either..." When someone says, "There's no cake on this ship!" another adds, "Don't be silly," but even that is no comfort: "There's no way that's true." She remembers what she was told and snarls, "My son told me it was here! If it isn't, then I'll have to take my eldest son's life with my own hands!" Jinbe tries to stop her, calling, "Big Mom! Wait!" while Chopper and Brook wonder, "How are we supposed to get out of... The Sunny!" Big Mom's rampage is now happening directly on their home.

Big Mom remembers enough to know she has been deceived. Someone asks, "S-She remembers?!" and another wonders, "Just how conscious is she?!" Big Mom realizes the lie and shouts, "Calling my son a liar?! You pip-squeak! Oi! Napoleon!" From outside, Perospero sweats, thinking, "I thought I could deceive her!" Napoleon answers, "Yes, Mama!" and Big Mom gives the order: "Let's go." Napoleon transforms into a huge blade, with the note "T/N: Kanji read Emperor's Sword." Big Mom names the attack "Cognac!" and declares, "I'll cleave and burn you in two!" She is no longer only smashing the ship blindly; she has drawn her weapon and is preparing to cut the Sunny apart.

Big Mom swings the giant flaming sword, and the crew panics. Chopper cries, "A giant, flaming sword!" while Nami warns, "It's useless! Run, Jinbe!" Jinbe does not run. He stands in the path of the attack and answers with "Kairagi!" The note explains, "T/N: A type of Edo-era pottery, written plum blossom skin." The impact shakes the deck as Jinbe blocks Cognac, and Big Mom laughs, "Ha ha ha!" Perospero, watching, cannot believe it: "He blocked Cognac?!" But Jinbe knows the block cannot last. As Big Mom bears down, he says, "Don't think..." and she taunts, "You can win..." The scene makes clear that raw strength alone will not solve this.

Big Mom overpowers Jinbe and throws him back, snarling, "On strength alone! You bloody shark!" Jinbe is knocked off the Sunny, and Nami cries, "Jinbe!" From the sea, the others can see the ship still racing forward as Big Mom remains on deck. Big Mom returns to her obsession, laughing, "Hahaha... Maaama mama..." and demanding, "Where is it! Bring out the cake! I'm dying of hunger." Chopper suddenly realizes Carrot's condition and shouts, "Carrot's in that room!" The danger doubles: Big Mom is destroying the ship from inside, and Carrot, weakened after Su Long, is trapped nearby while the emperor searches the Sunny.

Big Mom keeps tearing through the Sunny and demands, "Tell me where it is! If you want me to stop!" Nami tries to answer, "I'm okay!" but Chopper calls out, "Nami!" and Big Mom sees what Nami has created: "Such a huge cake!" It is a mirage or illusion meant to distract her, and Big Mom reaches toward it with the question, "Where the hell did you hide..." The crew has no time to celebrate the trick, because Prometheus's flames are spreading. Someone warns, "This is bad! Big Mom's hair fire has set the sails alight!" and another cries, "Ruuuun, Nami!" Big Mom's hunger and Prometheus's fire turn the deck into a moving disaster.

Big Mom's attack slams into Chopper instead. Nami screams, "Chopper!" and the emperor grins, "You're just full of surprises." Chopper takes the impact in Guard Point, his fur swelling into a massive cushion that absorbs the blow. The ship is still burning, and Brook calls out the emergency: "The ship! The ship is burning! This is bad! Very bad! We need to put this out! Water! Water!" At the same time a powerful current rises beside the ship. Someone identifies it: "Sea current." Big Mom prepares another move and calls, "Shoulder throw!" The page shifts from direct combat to survival management: fire, water, impact, and Big Mom's physical power all threaten the Sunny at once.

A burst of water erupts across the Sunny, throwing sailors and steam into the air. Big Mom cries, "Gyaa aah!" and asks, "Damn it! Where'd that water come from?!" Jinbe has returned through the sea, and Nami calls, "Jinbe!" as the flames are drenched. The water leaves Big Mom soaked and furious, but the ship gains a brief reprieve. Jinbe does not stop at putting out the fire. He calls, "Fishman Karate, secret technique!" and steps toward Big Mom with the command, "Be gone, Big Mom!" Big Mom, still demanding food, answers, "Then gimme the cake!" The confrontation resets with Jinbe back on deck, no longer merely defending but preparing to drive her off.

Jinbe launches his secret technique directly into Big Mom: "Vagabond Drill!" The blow lands at close range, drilling into her body with enough force to push even the emperor backward. Big Mom's eyes widen, and Chopper and Nami watch in shock as Jinbe, against all expectations, moves her off balance. The impact does not defeat her, but it does what the crew desperately needs: it forces her away from the center of the ship and gives the Sunny a chance to survive. The page is nearly all motion and reaction, emphasizing the impossible sight of Jinbe physically shifting Big Mom by technique rather than strength alone.

Big Mom is finally driven off the Sunny and back onto Zeus. Prometheus calls, "Mama!" while the crew shouts in disbelief, "Whoa aaaa!" Jinbe confirms, "We did it! We drove her off!" But he immediately understands the limit of that victory: "If we let her destroy any more of the ship, it'd never be able to face Luffy and the others..." Nami checks on their weakened ally, asking, "How's Carrot?" and is told, "She's safe!" Jinbe orders, "Don't let the ship slow! We can't let Perospero and the others catch up to us now!" Someone answers, "Okay!" The crew has bought time, but Big Mom is still close, laughing "Mamama," and Jinbe knows, "Unfortunately, Big Mom will be on her feet again very soon."

Big Mom recovers and reaches for another idea: "That way I'll definitely find it! The wedding cake." She swings Napoleon in a massive arc and says, "We'll slice you!" Nami sees the danger: "Now it got longer! If she swings that around, this ship will really be done for!" Brook acts before the blade can ruin them. He slices through the homies' connection and declares, "It was me, Brook!" When someone asks, "You?!" he explains, "Yes... I don't have any flesh, lightning doesn't do a thing to me." Big Mom realizes he is resisting through the soul and asks, "Are you trying to fight me, Soul King? Remember, your sword..." Brook answers with his usual absurd courage: "Let me see your panties?!" Big Mom snaps, "Couldn't even put a scratch on me!" but Brook's move saves time. Nami feeds Zeus a black thundercloud, saying, "Come here, my dear Zeus. These are your favorite, right? Eat up!" Zeus cheers, "Yay!" while Nami warns, "Like I'd fall for that again! You can't fool me, you temptress!"

The crew's plan comes together. Big Mom bears down with Napoleon while Nami and Chopper cry, "Whaaa aaat?!" and Big Mom roars, "Haaa agh?!" Brook completes his cut and names the technique, "Three-Verse Humming: Soul." Big Mom's sword arm has already reached enormous length, and from the air she says, "Yes. It is done." The page holds the pause before the punishment lands: Brook's sword has passed through the soul-made homies, Zeus has eaten Nami's thundercloud, and Big Mom is still close enough to strike. The crew has no room left for another mistake.

Big Mom brings down Napoleon with "Arrow-Notch Slash!" and screams as the attack detonates. Nami's trap triggers at the same time: Zeus, stuffed with the black thundercloud, becomes a weapon against his own master. Nami tells him, "Just discharge all that! You'll feel better." Zeus releases it as "Static Electricity Black Ball!" and Big Mom is shocked, crying, "Gyaaaaaaah!" Prometheus realizes too late, "From the start, we were aiming for Zeus!" Zeus can only stammer, "Oww www!" and "Huh?!" while Big Mom, furious through the pain, glares and says, "You..." The page makes the trick explicit: they did not expect to injure Big Mom directly by cutting her; they used Zeus's appetite and Nami's weather control to zap her.

The lightning strike explodes across the sea and blasts Big Mom back with a cry of "Gya aaa ah!" The Sunny surges away from the impact while Prometheus shouts, "Mama!" and Perospero, watching from the pursuing fleet, cries, "This can't be! Mama! Zeus has been zapped!" On the Sunny, the crew recognizes the opening. Someone calls, "Hurry, Brook!" and Jinbe says, "We bought ourselves some time!" Another voice answers, "Yes!" Big Mom is not beaten, but the combination of Jinbe's strike, Brook's soul-cutting, and Nami's lightning has done what direct force could not: it separates her from the ship long enough for the Sunny to keep moving.

The crew celebrates the narrow escape. Nami says, "We did it!" and Jinbe tells Brook, "Brook, that was awesome!" Chopper, looking at the battered ship, asks, "So this is the least amount of damage we could get away with, huh? She beat us up pretty bad!" Zeus, drained and helpless, explains, "Ah. He says he doesn't have enough energy to go wild any more." Nami smiles over him and says, "Aw, my dear Zeus." Then she drops the sweetness and asks, "You seem to be mistaken... I wasn't asking you to be my friend. I'll ask once more. Do you want to be my slave? Or do you want to die?" Zeus blinks in terror. Behind them, Big Mom rises again on Prometheus and orders, "After them," and Prometheus answers, "Yes, Mama!" The chapter ends with Big Mom still on their heels.
