This is all happening in a fantasy universe where everything and everyone looks and moves like a beautiful Japanese animated anime and this is normal. And most importantly, the anime One Piece. Not that anyone knows this though. The name of this planet is called Blue Planet. In this fantasy world, there are LOTS of diverse races, most that humans don't know about. The most commonly known ones are: Giants (which are rare), Fishmen, Minks (an anthropomorphic animal-like race), Merfolks, the Longarm Tribe, and the Longleg Tribe. Anyone who ever tries to leave Whole Cake Island with the intent of never coming back without clearance from Big Mom is killed. Anyone who fails to attend one of Big Mom's parties are either killed or more commonly, sent the head of a person that they really care about. Currently, Katakuri's younger sister, Charlotte Pudding is going to be married to one of The Germa Kingdom's princes, Vinsmoke Sanji. But this is actually a plan created by Big Mom to assassinate the Vinsmoke family and steal their advanced technology. Everybody who works for Big Mom knows about this, but the residents of Whole Cake Island and Totto Land do not know about this. The plan is to seat the Vinsmoke family at a round table and wait until Sanji and Pudding are placed on top of the giant 100+ foot tall wedding cake, and Sanji lifts her veil, having him see her third eye for the first time, startling him. He will then be shot by Pudding, and they will then kill the rest of the Vinsmoke family, who will be restrained by Perospero's candy. At the age of two, Katakuri tasted doughnuts for the first time and it became his favorite food. Whole Cake Island is a New World island under the control of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors. It is her crew's base of operations and the central island in Big Mom's 35-island archipelago known as Totto Land. All of Big Mom's children can fuck around with whoever, but Big Mom arranges all marriages for her children and only lets them marry those whose marriages will benefit the family. Whole Cake Island is populated primarily by Big Mom's crew and allies, which include members of races from all across the world (except giants), even talking animals, and most of her children, as well as her grandchildren. Despite his massive size, Katakuri is 100% human. To maintain his image of "strength" (of his back having never touched the ground), Katakuri sleeps leaning on walls or sitting down. Katakuri is almost always calm even in the most perilous of situations, as it is necessary for his mind to be clear in order to utilize Observation Haki. If Katakuri is taken by surprise or foresees something terrible in the future, he can lose color on his face and he may sometimes shout, but does not panic. Katakuri's least favorite food is hot ramen, but he does not dislike spicy food. In order to never reveal his split mouth, Katakuri simply eats so fast in the presence of others that they cannot see. When Katakuri sees slightly into the future, his eyes flash red briefly. Katakuri is very blunt and straightforward in his way of speaking. Katakuri ate the Mochi Mochi no Mi, a Special Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that lets him create, control and transform his body into mochi at will. His mochi is extremely thick and adhesive, allowing him to trap even extremely strong enemies with it, although it loses its effectiveness when exposed to liquids. Katakuri has extraordinary mastery of Observation Haki, specifically its advanced form of "Future Vision" that allows him to see (as well as listen) a few seconds ahead into the future. Katakuri's manor is on Komugi Island. Hakuriki Town ("Flour Town") is a city situated on Komugi Island. Its name may be derived from hakurikiko, which is used to make cakes and pastries. The town has large structures shaped like various pastries like bread, dango, and doughnuts, with at least one large doughnut homie. Katakuri's pirate bounty is 1,057,000,000 berry. Charlotte Katakuri is the second son and third child of the Charlotte Family. He is also one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Flour, governing over Komugi Island (Flour island). Katakuri takes his status as the strongest subordinate of Big Mom quite seriously and makes the effort to maintain the appearance of perfection that his siblings and crewmates consider him to have, particularly by never lying on his back in public. However, he doesn't like when his siblings heap excessive amounts of praise onto him. Katakuri has a habit of telling people around him what he foresees them saying or doing next. Katakuri is a 48 year old, 16'8" tall, muscular man that has short spiky crimson hair and two symmetric scars on both sides of his face connecting to his mouth. Katakuri has long legs with his thighs being equally as long as his lower limbs. Katakuri's mouth, which is usually covered up, contains sharp pelican eel-like teeth and is capable of expanding to an enormous size whenever he pleases. Katakuri's teeth are sharp like a sharks and have one larger tooth on both sides of his mouth that protrude slightly, kind of like an ogre's teeth. Katakuri is quite brutal when attacking opponents to ensure they are quickly neutralized and will use his weapons to inflict gruesome wounds with impunity. To cope with the stresses of his position, Katakuri takes regular light meal breaks, known as "merienda" where he feasts on his favorite food of doughnuts and drinks tea. Katakuri keeps his merienda extremely private as he lies on his back and relaxes during it, which is a stark contrast to his siblings' view of him as someone who never lies down. Katakuri becomes quite annoyed if something keeps him from doing it at the allotted time. When it comes to judging his opponent's power, Katakuri is neither boastful nor meek and so will bluntly point out when an opponent is clearly inferior to him (to the point of encouraging them to flee while they can) but will also notice if they pose a serious threat or are improving their abilities and he will even commend enemies who demonstrate impressive strength or tactical maneuvers. Katakuri doesn't like being late. Katakuri takes care to never underestimate his opponents' abilities. Katakuri also takes note of opponents' potential, and targets enemies whom he feels could pose a more serious threat in the future. Katakuri's birthday is on November 25th. Although he works to eliminate enemies efficiently, Katakuri is ultimately an honorable fighter who prefers to fight fairly and heavily respects opponents who can match him. Thus, Katakuri absolutely despises receiving unwanted assistance in a fight between men. He might even apologize to his enemy for not having a genuine fight. In this world, the primary currency are coins and paper money called Berry, also known as Belly. It's used for various transactions, including buying goods, paying for services, and as a measure of a pirate's bounty. The highest denomination bill is 10,000 berries. In this world, the planet is mostly water so there are barely any large countries. Most places on the planet are islands, so pirates are EVERYWHERE. And Marines have to work hard to stop them. The strongest prison is called Impel Down. In this world, all news is delivered by birds (mostly seagulls) who carry the newspapers in their bags. The seagulls have to be paid for the newspapers. Katakuri is fiercely loyal to his mother Linlin, as he would not hesitate to eliminate anyone who would threaten her. Katakuri supports Linlin's ambitions, and he is aware of Linlin's attachment to Carmel's portrait. Despite his loyalty and devotion to her, Linlin sees Katakuri as a lowly child of hers and will not tolerate him interfering with her business. Katakuri merely accepts being patronized by his mother. Due to his caring nature, Katakuri is very close with a majority to almost all of his siblings. Katakuri is always prompted to save his siblings if they are in danger. Katakuri's strength is held with such immense respect and admiration among his siblings that they never think of the possibility that he could lose in battle. During their childhood, after Katakuri beat up some bullies who ridiculed his mouth, they took their revenge on Brûlée, scarring her face. Brûlée did not hold any grudge against Katakuri, saying that he was fine the way he is. After unleashing his own revenge, Katakuri started hiding his face to protect his family. One of his youngest sisters, Charlotte Flampe, deeply admires Katakuri and all of his little half-sisters have selected him as their favorite brother in the Best Big Brother Awards. He is also beloved by his fellow brothers. Since Big Mom has so many kids, she has allowed there to be voting for the best Big Brother, Little Brother, Big Sister, and Little Sister, every year. Outside of his family members, Katakuri also cares for the safety of his subordinates. As the strongest of the Three Sweet Commanders who exemplifies the image of a dignified and level-headed warrior, Katakuri commands great respect and admiration from his subordinates. Katakuri acts forgiving to their discrepancies to his perfectionist attitude. While seemingly a strong leader who respects his subordinates in turn, Katakuri goes to great lengths to keep this image and he keeps his true face out of their sight, eating in solitude. If his true face is seen Katakuri tends to panic and there's a high chance of him killing anyone who has seen his insecurity, even if they are a subordinate. In battle, Katakuri is a very powerful combatant. His tremendous bounty of 1,057,000,000 shows how dangerous he is considered by the World Government. Katakuri has been called a "monster" for his strength ever since he was a child. He has never lost a single battle throughout his life. Katakuri is strong-willed so he's able to withstand something like Big Mom's Supreme King Haki without passing out. Noted to be the strongest of the Three Sweet Commanders, Katakuri possesses immense physical strength, being able to flick jellybeans with such extreme force and velocity that they act like bullets, mortally wounding his opponents with a single shot. Even from a great distance, Katakuri can kill a man with a flicked jellybean. Katakuri is an extremely skilled and powerful hand-to-hand combatant. Katakuri is extremely fast and possesses extraordinary reflexes. Due to his speed, even an expert Observation Haki user would barely have time to react to his attacks. Katakuri possesses tremendous levels of durability and endurance. He also has vast reserves of stamina. Katakuri wields a trident named Mogura in battle. When not in use, Katakuri keeps the trident inside his mochi body. Katakuri is extremely skilled in wielding his trident, which he uses in conjunction with his Devil Fruit powers and physical prowess to perform devastating thrusts. Katakuri frequently uses these abilities in hand-to-hand combat, sprouting several tendrils of mochi on his body to act as extra fists or legs; he can imbue these tendrils with Armament Haki to deliver extremely hard punches and kicks. Katakuri is also able to enlarge his mochi limbs to gigantic size and stretch them to increase his attack range. Katakuri is also very creative when using his fruit, as he sometimes uses it to create useful items out of mochi. Katakuri can transform his body like a Logia user to avoid attacks. With the help of his advanced Observation Haki, Katakuri is even capable of manipulating his body structure, dodging Haki-imbued attacks and remaining unharmed by opening holes in his body so his opponents attacks just pass through empty air. Katakuri has mastered his Devil Fruit powers to the point of awakening his Devil Fruit, enabling him to transform nearby inorganic material into mochi, greatly enhancing the range of his attacks. Katakuri possessed the ability to use Supreme King Haki, a rare form of Haki that only one in several million people in the world can use. Katakuri can use his Haki in conjunction with his Devil Fruit power to great effect. Since he can see slightly into the future, he can predict precisely where an attack will land, allowing him time to reshape his mochi body out of harm's way. Since he is physically dodging the attack and preventing it from coming into contact with him in the first place, even attacks imbued with Armament Haki will pass through him without harming him. With this ability, Katakuri is nearly untouchable and it has been years since someone has laid a hand on him. Katakuri's Haki can only be nullified if he stops being calm and collected, or if he faces an opponent whose level of Observation Haki rivals or surpasses his own. Katakuri is an extremely skilled user of Armament Haki. At the age of three, Katakuri's fast eating habits caused the size of his mouth to expand greatly and tore his cheeks apart, leaving deep scars on the sides of his mouth. As a result, he was shunned and ostracized by others due to his appearance, but he was strong enough to fend off his bullies, making them run away in fear. Some of his siblings such as Charlotte Perospero, Oven, Daifuku and Charlotte Brûlée do not scorn him, although Perospero once told Katakuri that he would be able to make friends if he hid his eel-like mouth. When Katakuri was five, he obtained and ate the Mochi Mochi no Mi Devil Fruit. Katakuri has his own ship and fleet since he is a Sweets Commander. An extremely wide assortment of anthropomorphic singing animals and objects live on Whole Cake island via the powers of Linlin's Soru Soru no Mi. All those seem to have a habit of repeating their noun name by way of singing or saying it in a melodic fashion; even living objects with a specific name use the noun and not their actual name; however, they are also capable of rational thought. Anthropomorphic fragments of Linlin's soul known as "incarnations" also exist freely on the island, collecting souls and performing other tasks for Linlin. Whole Cake Island is quite large, and until about 62 years ago, it was a regular island with several round hills. It was renamed to "Whole Cake Island" due to Linlin and Streusen working to fulfill Linlin's dream, wand its new resemblance to a gathering of frosted cakes are due to the enormous cake buildings constructed there. Due to the buildings' enormous size, visitors tend to be awed at the first sight of the island. Atop the largest central building, the Whole Cake Chateau, there are massive poles shaped like candles, making it look like a birthday cake. Most buildings appear to be covered in what looks like icing. The interiors of buildings in general look as if they are partly made of icing. Big Mom, whose real name is Charlotte Linlin, has a total of 85 children. These children are a mix of 39 daughters and 46 sons. She had these children with 43 different husbands. All of Big Mom's children refer to her as "Mama". Whole Cake Island's southwestern coast is covered in hardened whipped cream, namely meringue. The island east bay has a coral like structure. The sky above Whole Cake Island is sometimes covered by unique purplish and pinkish clouds, and the island's special weather phenomenon of edible cotton candy snow comes from those clouds. Sweet City is the capital of Whole Cake Island, and all Totto Land. The city is situated northwestern to Whole Cake Chateau, roughly in the center of the island. Its structures and buildings are made of edible substances, such as candy or biscuits furnished by the Minister of Biscuits, with some of the buildings being living. A juice river, connected to the sea or to Lake Aprico, runs through the town. Sweet City is surrounded by living hills, and a pathway links the Whole Cake Chateau to Lake Aprico. Whole Cake Chateau is the three-layered massive castle of Big Mom, and the largest cake building found in Sweet City. It has a total of ten floors, and dwarfs essentially all the other buildings and landmarks of the island (actually being larger than Sweet City as a whole). It is situated roughly centrally on the island, being surrounded by Sweet City. The Seducing Woods are in-between Whole Cake Island's southwestern coast and the outskirts of Sweet City. Consistent with the island's theme, the forest is quite bizarre, being largely edible and full of homies, like trees, lollipops, cakes, and flowers, which can be seen happily talking and singing with each other. The forest includes a river of melon juice running through it, a waterfall of apple juice and Brûlée's house next to it. The forest's master is King Baum, the largest tree homie. The entire forest was brought to life by Linlin's soul. In The Seducing Woods the trees and other homies constantly move around to block off exit routes and evermore shift the forest's very layout to confuse their visitors, regarding it as a "Game of Death", joyfully singing about how those visitors' brutal deaths might look like. In fact, the Homies, led by Baum, will not let go of unauthorized visitors relatively regardless of how strong they are. There is also a strong interference with magnetic fields to prevent visitors from finding a way out via Log Poses. Lake Aprico, runs through the town. Sweet City is surrounded by living hills, and a pathway links the Whole Cake Chateau to Lake Aprico.

In fact, the Homies, led by Baum, will not let go of unauthorized visitors relatively regardless of how strong they are. There is also a strong interference with magnetic fields to prevent visitors from finding a way out via Log Poses. Lake Aprico is a large lake right behind Whole Cake Chateau, which runs into the ocean. Right at the entrance to its port are two Tartes, and only Big Mom's associate crews (and those that are in the process of becoming so) are granted access to the port. It is composed of apricot juice. The Northeastern Coast of Whole Cake Island has a large group of extremely wild and ferocious, dotted sharks swimming in the sea around the shore. Three days before the upcoming wedding between Charlotte Pudding and Sanji, Big Mom entered one of her food cravings, laying waste to Sweet City as she searched for croquembouche. Jinbe managed to get her some croquembouche, and talked with Big Mom about him leaving her crew. While the city was undergoing damage control, she agreed as long as he spun a roulette wheel to lose something in return. Knowing that all the options would lead to his death, Jinbe backed out of the deal, and this was reported in the news the next day. Charlotte Linlin, better known as "Big Mom", is the captain of the Big Mom Pirates and is one of the Four Emperors ruling over the New World. She is the queen of the archipelago nation Totto Land, a place she seeks to form into a utopia where all the world's races can live together in peace without discrimination or segregation. Linlin is also the matriarch of the Charlotte Family, whose children make up the ministers of her nation and the core infrastructure of her crew. Big Mom ate the Soru Soru no Mi/Soul Soul Fruit, which allows her to steal the souls of others and implant them in inanimate objects, resulting in the unique race of creatures known as homies, who happily serve her. Big Mom possesses three special homies: the bicorne Napoleon, the sun Prometheus, and the thunder cloud, Zeus. Big Mom is a huge, 68 year old, obese woman with a large chin and large, hooked nose. She has an enormous physique, standing just shy of 28 feet tall, which is the largest known height for any human. Despite her age, Linlin has childish tendencies. Big Mom is an extremely gluttonous woman who loves to eat sweets above all else and has all the islands under her protection pay her with metric tons of whatever kind of confectionery or pastry they can produce. Linlin is obsessed with sweets to the point of destroying entire countries for failing to deliver them. In fact, she loves her sweets so much that her subordinates or her territory holds less importance compared to it. Big Mom has an unknown disease dubbed as "Hunger Pangs", in which she becomes obsessively fixated on a "Sweet Theme", and will go on a crazed rampage in search of the food she wants to eat. While in this state, Linlin will destroy anything and everything in her path, including her castle, her subordinates, and even her own children, until she eats the food she wants. When rampaging, her pupils become crazed and swirly. Once her cravings are satiated, she becomes more affable and retains no memory of her actions during her rampage. Despite having this disorder for most of her life, she is completely unaware of this. Charlotte Moscato was killed by one of Big Mom's Hunger Pangs after she took all of his lifespan. Big Mom's most prominent children are: Charlotte Perospero (1st son), Charlotte Compote (1st daughter), Charlotte Katakuri (2nd son), Charlotte Daifuku (3rd son), Charlotte Oven (4th son), Charlotte Amande (3rd daughter), Charlotte Opera (5th son), Charlotte Cracker (10th son), Charlotte Custard (6th daughter), and Charlotte Mont‑d’Or (19th son / 30th child). Charlotte Perospero is the eldest child of the Charlotte Family and an officer of the Big Mom Pirates. He also serves as Totto Land's Minister of Candy, governing over Candy Island. Perospero ate the Pero Pero no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create and control candy. Perospero's candy can be in a gooey syrup form or hardened into a solid state. His power is incredibly versatile, as he can create anything out of candy. Charlotte Compote is the eldest daughter and second child of the Charlotte Family and an officer of the Big Mom Pirates. Compote also serves as Totto Land's Minister of Fruits, governing over Fruits Island. Charlotte Daifuku is the middle triplet brother of Katakuri and Oven. He is also an officer of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Beans, governing over Poripori Island. Daifuku ate the Hoya Hoya no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to summon a halberd-wielding genie from his body by rubbing his belly. Charlotte Oven is an officer of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Browned Food, governing over Yakigashi Island. Oven ate the Netsu Netsu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to emit high heat from his body. Charlotte Amande is a snakeneck-human hybrid. She also is an officer of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Nuts, governing over Nuts Island. Amande is extremely strong, as the force of her sword strikes can cut down large number of knights equipped with metal armors and shields. Charlotte Cracker is one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Biscuits, governing Biscuits Island. Cracker ate the Bisu Bisu no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create and manipulate biscuits at will. Charlotte Brûlée ate the Mira Mira no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to create and manipulate mirrors. She can use her mirrors to reflect attacks back at her opponents, turn any mirror into a portal to the "Mirro-World" (a long tunnel filled with countless mirrors, each one connected to a counterpart mirror in the real world), and transform herself and other living things into mirror images of different people. Charlotte Mont-d'Or is an officer of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Cheese, governing over Cheese Island. Mont-d'Or ate the Buku Buku no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to manipulate books. Mont-d'Or's power is limited only by his imagination. He can place people under the illusion that they are inside a book's setting. Charlotte Smoothie is one of the Three Sweet Commanders and as Totto Land's Minister of Juice governing over 100% Island. Smoothie ate the Shibo Shibo no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to drain liquid from both living and non-living things. She uses her power by twisting her target and wringing it out like a soaked cloth, though she can also drain liquid from a target by cutting it with her sword. Notably, the extracted liquid can be consumed like juice and has an exquisite taste. Smoothie is a Longleg Hybrid, and she is 15 feet tall. Charlotte Galette is also an officer of the Big Mom Pirates and serves as Totto Land's Minister of Butter, governing over Margarine Island. Galette ate the Bata Bata no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows her to create and control butter. She can use sticky butter to bind and immobilize her opponents. This world is kind of like in the 16th to early 18th centuries. This world mainly uses Transponder Snails/Den Den Mushi for calls, and screens do exist. But screens can only be connected to Transponder Snails to show what the snail is seeing, like a live video camera. Some special Transponder Snails can be used to take pictures when you tap on their shell. The Germa Kingdom, also known as the Kingdom of Science is the world's only seafaring kingdom, and a former member nation of the World Government. About 300 years ago, it was the center of the Germa Empire which was formed by the Vinsmoke Family's conquest of the North Blue. Today, the kingdom remains under Vinsmoke rule, and is serviced militarily as the Underworld army known as Germa 66. The Vinsmoke family, known for leading Germa 66, consists of: Vinsmoke Judge (patriarch), Vinsmoke Sora (matriarch, deceased), Vinsmoke Reiju (eldest child and only daughter), and the four sons, Vinsmoke Ichiji, Niji, Sanji, and Yonji. The Vinsmoke family are all superhumans who do mercenary work. The Blue Planet primarily consists of the Blue Sea, with the Red Line as its only continent above sea level. Much of the population lives on assorted islands scattered across the Blue Sea, which is divided into the East Blue, North Blue, South Blue, West Blue, Calm Belts, and the Grand Line, itself made up of Paradise and the New World. Since the end of the Void Century 800 years ago, the World Government governs most of the Blue Planet, having played a large role in its current geographical configuration. Throughout history, many prominent figures and organizations have gone against the World Government in power struggles for various parts of the world. Dominating the Blue Planet's surface is the Blue Sea, a body of saltwater broadly divided into quadrants: the East Blue, the West Blue, the North Blue, and the South Blue. These divisions are formed by two natural barriers that bisect the world at roughly perpendicular angles: The Grand Line, a relatively narrow strip of ocean infamous for its unnatural, rapidly-shifting climates and monstrous wildlife—as well as being enclosed by the completely wind- and current-free Calm Belt regions. The Red Line, a huge (and mostly barren) landmass that functions as the world's only true continent. The Grand Line and Red Line encircle the entire world at right angles to each other. The Red Line physically separates the East and South Blues from the North and West Blues. While there is no physical barrier separating the Grand Line from the four Blues, the Calm Belt surrounding it makes crossing through nearly impossible for most. All parts of the Blue Sea—Grand Line and Calm Belts included—contain numerous islands supporting many different degrees of life. Travel between these islands is relatively simple in the four Blues, but significantly more complex in the Grand Line, where many islands produce unique magnetic fields that render the magnets of ordinary compasses useless, necessitating special "Log Pose" compasses. North and South poles, both reputedly very cold, also exist. The world is divided into different time zones based on solar time, which varies by location due to the spherical shape of the planet. For example, it is daytime in Egghead and Dressrosa in the New World when it is nighttime in Mary Geoise on the Red Line and Water 7 in Paradise. In the Grand Line, there are islands which have their own climates and natural occurrences, such that people on these islands will dress to match it. Some islands in the Grand Line have unique cultures, such as Water 7, Dressrosa, Arabasta, Sabaody, Long Ring Long Land, Jaya, Skypiea, and Wano. Compared to the Grand Line, there is less cultural diversity seen out in the North, West, South and East Blues. The world of Blue Planet has a universal spoken and written language which is a combination of Japanese and English. English is the most predominant written text in most parts of the world, especially outside the Grand Line, however signs of both of the written forms of these languages co-existing can be seen in many parts of the world on either signs, clothing, documents etc. Even high above in the Sky Islands and deep below in the Sea Floor the universal language exists. Devil Fruits are supernatural fruits that each grant a unique power when eaten, at the cost of removing the eater's ability to swim. A Devil Fruit power can only be held by one individual at a time, but will reappear in a new fruit after they die. No individual may acquire more than one power. Devil Fruits exist along three broad categories: Paramecia, the most common, which grant a vast array of generally "superhuman" abilities; Zoan, which grant the power to transform into animals; and Logia, the rarest and most powerful, which grant the power to transform into a natural element. Each fruit has a unique appearance, making identification and documentation possible. Scattered throughout the world, Devil Fruits are rare enough to be considered myths in much of the Blue Seas. This rarity, coupled with their abilities, make Devil Fruits highly sought-after; some specimens may sell for billions, and extensive efforts have been made to replicate their powers and mass-produce artificial versions for warfare. The scientist Vegapunk has performed the most extensive research into Devil Fruits and achieved many unnatural applications and replications of their abilities. The Levely is a council formed by the World Government which consists of 50 of the world's leaders out of the over 170 nations affiliated with the World Government. The Four pirate Emperors are currently: Big Mom, Kaidou, Whitebeard (Whos now dead), and Shanks.
