The Mystery of Big Mom's Death: New Clues Emerge in Elbaf

Film One Piece (Doc. Ist)

Secondupdate.com – One Piece fans have long been wondering about the fate of Big Mom, one of the Yonko who was defeated during the Wano Arc.

Now, through the ongoing Elbaf Arc, the story is beginning to drop hints about what really happened to her.

In Chapter 1145, a character named Goldberg reveals that his shield is actually a human brought to life using the powers of the Soru Soru no Mi (Soul-Soul Fruit), which once belonged to Big Mom.

He explains that the shield was brought to life several years ago when his father joined an expedition to defeat Big Mom.

This clue seems to point to the events when Big Mom was still a child—specifically at the age of five—when she went on a rampage in the village of the Giants in Elbaf.

The fact that Goldberg’s shield is still alive has sparked speculation that Big Mom may truly be dead, even though her soul creations like Zeus still exist.

After the Wano Arc ended, the deaths of Big Mom and Kaido were never explicitly confirmed. Both were seen falling into lava, but many fans believed it was a “fake death.”

Zeus’s continued existence is one of the main reasons why fans suspect Big Mom might still be alive. Zeus is a being created from a fragment of Big Mom’s soul, and if he’s still alive, it’s possible that Big Mom is too.

The Elbaf Arc continues to deliver surprises. In addition to exploring Big Mom’s past and her long-standing ties with the Giants, this arc also introduces a new enemy group known as the Holy Knights and unveils a mysterious mural containing ancient knowledge.

It’s worth noting that Big Mom had a significant relationship with the Elbaf Giants dating back 63 years, including an attempt to marry off her daughter Lola to Prince Loki.

The expedition mentioned by Goldberg’s father most likely refers to the incident during the Winter Solstice Festival, depicted in Chapter 866, which was a pivotal moment in the battle between Big Mom and the Giants.
