The Land of Souls - Mom's Fatal Ability!

Inside a cathedral, the people of Totto Land assemble before a dark blob that offers them a single choice, leave or life, and once everyone picks life it dips a hand into each of them and draws out a dimly glowing soul shard. Deeper in the Seducing Woods, Luffy keeps mistaking the true Nami for one of the animal copies until she smacks him in frustration. She turns on the buried stranger for doing nothing through her entire fight, then explains that the Luffy clone had really been Charlotte Brulee. Brulee threw Carrot's blow back with a rippling mirror, and a bigger mirror then drew the mink into the Mirro-World, cutting her off from the others.

Once Brulee's plants swarmed Nami and Chopper, the reindeer became Monster Point and held them off long enough for Nami to flee, earning Brulee's admiration. Pinned down for answers, the stranger spells out why the forest lives. At every half-year mark the citizens of Totto Land hand over a month of their own lifespans as a levy, which Big Mom's Incarnations gather through the Soru Soru no Mi and scatter into the wild. Those fragments lodge in objects and creatures and become homies, though humans and the dead stay immune. As for the animal doubles, those are Brulee's doing, not the fruit's. Only after lengthy resistance does the stranger let slip that, long ago, he had been wed to Big Mom himself, leaving the pair speechless while Cracker pushes through the trees toward them.

Charlotte Cracker arrives for the first time here, alongside the Bisu Bisu no Mi and a handful of techniques including Carrot's Eleclaw and Brulee's Reflection and Mirro-World. Big Mom sends Cracker, one of her Three Sweet Commanders, with an order to make the Straw Hats long for death. The adaptation slips in Nami knocking out a fake Sanji, Randolph readying a strike on the transformed Chopper, the chateau's food homies briefing Big Mom, and Cracker's approach through the woods. Where the manga first shows him threatening Pound, the anime opens instead with him addressing Big Mom. A coloring slip tints Nami's right sandal to match her skin as Brulee hoists her.
