Chapter 836

Hearing the giant-headed man name his daughter Lola, Nami connects him to the runaway sister Pudding mentioned and recalls Lola handing her a mother's Vivre Card on Thriller Bark. She grasps that Big Mom is Lola's mother and this man her father, to Luffy's astonishment. Randolph charges in on his crane, but Cracker silences him with a shout that also withers the surrounding tree homies, not through Haki but pure fear. Cracker explains Big Mom dispatched him because Luffy, the man who toppled Donquixote Doflamingo, may have outmatched Brulee.

Brulee arrives atop the forest's master, an enormous tree homie called Kingbaum, insisting no target escapes the Seducing Woods alive. Cracker dismisses the games, noting the rest of the Vinsmoke Family arrives at the chateau the next day to seal the Germa alliance. He turns the duplicate Straw Hats back into animals and shatters his mirror to show he has caught Carrot and Chopper. When Cracker moves to kill the man, now named as Pound, dismissing all of Big Mom's husbands as outsiders, Luffy blocks the blade and kicks him off. As Nami flees with Pound, the pursuing homies recoil from the Vivre Card she carries, sensing Big Mom's soul within it. Cracker then taps his limbs to multiply them, conjuring a fresh weapon with each, and warns Luffy he cannot win.

The chapter confirms Lola and Chiffon's father is Pound, that Big Mom discards all her husbands as outsiders, and that the homies cannot harm Nami while she holds the Vivre Card. It opens the Luffy versus Cracker fight, reveals Cracker's bounty of 860,000,000 Berries and his Bisu Bisu no Mi limb-multiplying power. A skull on Kuzan's cover newspaper is later identified as Hachinosu.
