Open mystery: who was Mother Carmel to Big Mom, and why does a torn portrait of her make an Emperor bleed?
The question
Bege reveals that the only object that has ever made Big Mom bleed is the portrait of Mother Carmel (pp. 7-9). It sits before an always-empty seat across from her at every tea party; no one may sit there. Carmel “just went missing,” the family knows nothing about her, and Big Mom is said to owe her “some kind of great personal debt.” Dropping the picture once triggered a pale-faced scream, bloodied kneecaps, a collapse of her body’s defensive resistance, and an involuntary burst of Conqueror’s Haki.
- Who was Carmel to the young Linlin? What is the debt?
- Why is the soul/psyche link strong enough to make an Emperor bleed from a torn picture?
