One Piece: 10 Things That Don't Make Sense In The Cake Island Arc (2023)

One piececreator, Eiichiro Oda never ceases to amaze his fans; and more than 20 years from the beginning of the story, the love and details of day one are still there, if not enhanced and expanded in some way.

However, as much as one can praise the series, it would be foolish to say that the entire execution was flawless. Whole Cake Island is one of those arcs that has received a lot of praise for its creativity and excitement, but several details about it still baffle fans of the flip. This list will address some of the worst weaknesses of the arc, as it touches on some things about Whole Cake Island that just didn't make sense.

10 flight of arabic

One of its strongest characteristics ofBig Mom Devil Fruitit is the ability to transpose the souls he has taken into animals and inanimate objects, imbuing them with personality and turning them into servants called "brothers". One brother who stands out in particular is Arabian, a partner in Charlotte Pudding andAladdin- strange flying carpet.

While the reference fits the Disney aesthetic, it still raises an important question:Becausecan fly? Most Homies like cups, doors, and even boats that stick to the ground. Zeus and Prometheus are exceptions, but they are already flying objects by nature. Unless Big Mom has other powers or the rugs are really cool in this world, Arabian shouldn't be able to fly.

9 Buildings made of food.

One of the most fantastic things that jumps out at the viewer when the Straw Hats arrive in Tot Land is the fact that the entire country is edible, both the buildings and the lakes. It's a fun idea explained within the history of the island, but the structural integrity still doesn't hold up.

How can any building survive any type of severe weather? The Straw Hats literally run into a group of giant ants, but no one else seems to be concerned or patrolling with other giant bugs or even normal ones. Citizens, and especially Big Mom, are encouraged to eat buildings for food, but this is a fatal flaw for any normal building.

8 live food

While Big Mom used her powers to build an entire anthropomorphic country, she also brought to life some things that are definitely not to be talked about or felt. First on that list would be the food of the Tot Land, which is also one of the most common citizens of it.

While it's fun to watch everyone's favorite snacks sing and dance, it's horrible to think about their future. Despite walking and talking, they are still used for food. This is fully shown when one of Big Mom's hunger pans makes her eat an entire group of croquembouche who show nothing but fear of the event and only grudgingly acknowledge when their teeth are bitten.

7 Luffy starved after... one day

After Sanji defeated him during their first encounter on the island, Luffy dismissed his answer, exclaiming that he would eat nothing but Sanji's food. This was a heartbreaking feeling for the normally gluttonous captain, but Oda dials things up to 100 very quickly.

After almost a day had passed since their fight, Sanji left Whole Cake Chateau to give Luffy a bento box only to find the man nearly starving with only skin and bones. The Straw Hats literally went longer without food during their trip to Whole Cake Island than during the interval between Luffy and Sanji's meetings, and Luffy was somehow dying during this scene.

6 Big Mom loses a lot of weight

Eiichiro Oda really needs a nutritionist. Within his world, if a character feels hungry, he will lose as much weight as he feels. While Luffy's version was already pretty extreme, Oda really kicks things up a notch with Big Mom.

In her rage to find another wedding cake, Big Mom's entire waist shrinks from her normally hilly shape to an almost pencil-like structure and somehow regains all her weight after finally eating the entire building the size of a Pinta. There's hype, and then there's this.

5 Big Mom's Husbands

To become the infamous Big Mom, Linlin had 43 husbands. She is a scandalous character detail that hides a distorted reality. Using her 25th ex-husband, Pound, as an example, Big Mom doesn't love these men. She uses them to have more children and then throws them away.

Although many of these men are forced, it is a strange feeling that these men are married or at least called "husbands". At worst, it reveals a dark character trait on Big Mom's part, but at best, it's a silly gesture from those who think they can make things work or actually be part of the family. family.

4 Big Mom trusts Capone "Gang" Bege

While it's foolish to trust Big Mom under any circumstances, she makes some slips herself. The biggest thing on display during the Whole Cake Island arc was her induction ofCapone Begeas one of its Towers. Although the emperors are very proud of their own strength and strength, this was really arrogant.

Bege has quite a history of betrayals dating back to him destroying the heads of the Five Families of the West and, when he became a pirate, several Grand Line pirate captains. a wonder Big Mom didn't just kill the man when she had the chance, let alone trust him as the leader and agent of her team.

3 Capone Beige Devil Fruit

On Capone Bege's note, his Devil Fruit has to be one of the most confusing and pointless out there. Much like Castle Castle Fruit, her Devil Fruit gives the user the powers of...a castle. And Oda pretty much takes liberties from there. In the initial uses of him, Bege himself is somehow able to shrink people into inhabiting his castle-like body, over which he has absolute control.

When things leave your body, they return to their normal size once they pass this mysterious barrier that surrounds you and has yet to be explained. If that wasn't weird enough, Bege can also transform into the living, proportional version of that castle that can still walk on the rails of the tank. You can't blame Oda for not having enough ideas, but she certainly has plenty.

2 Big Mom invoking a tsunami

One of the scariest scenes in the arc is when Big Mom ambushes the Straw Hats with a giant tsunami.One piecefolklore. Whenever the story gets the chance, the series reiterates that certain Devil Fruit abilities stop working when they come into contact with the sea.

The closest example of this to Big Mom's situation is Gecko Moriah's Shadow Shadow Fruit. Zombies imbued with their shadows can still return to normal once they come in contact with the sea, or at least salt that has the properties of the sea. While the water rule itself is inconsistent, it's still controversial to see Big Mom control the tsunami without any noticeable complications.

1 No one notices Flampe in the mirror world.

A big plus for the Whole Cake Island arc was seeing Luffy's legacy level up with a controversial victory against an Emperor commander. One part of the controversy is the fact that it seems Katakuri let him win, and the other is the fact that, hiding in the shadows, Charlotte Flampe was firing Numbing Needles at Luffy.

What makes this detail really strange is the fact that Luffy and especially Katakuri are power users of Observation Haki, which means that in addition to being able to predict their opponents' moves, they must also be able to sense every presence within the area. . Considering Katakuri can see into the future and the fact that Luffy can dodge lightspeed lasers, Flampe should not only have been seen immediately, but he should never have managed to throw a single dart, given Luffy's abilities. .
