MISS BAKKIN IS MOTHER CARAMEL IN A NEW GUISE

Everyone has been wondering.. and the chapters 866 and 867 have raised more questions than provided answers.

What we have found out about ‘Mother Caramel’ is she was a cheerful slave trader who once every two years sold a child to the WG, who in turn would then go on to work as spies. She used to run her racquet under the guise of an orphanage and she gained credibility in Elbaf by convincing the Marines to spare the stragglers of The Giant Warrior Pirates. Finally we know that she was planning on making a considerable amount of stash by selling Big Gal to CP0.
What we can tell about her from this is that she is someone who would scheme over a considerable period of time to achieve her objectives and she is a money grubbing hag. We can also tell she will never let go of an opportunity to make a vast amount of berries.

What we do not know is her true name. We only know her by underworld epithet “Mountain Witch” and that she was able to bring an element to life.

From here on what I say is pure speculation on my part.

I do not believe Big Mom got her devil fruit from consuming Mother Caramel.

Rather I am of the opinion that both Big Mom and Caramel have different devil fruit abilities!

She may even possess the Hito Hito No mi (Model:Witch)!!

The nature of Mother Caramels fruit is that it allows her to summon an element of the tree of Sephirot and make it obey her (like a witch’s familiar). She says ‘Gevurah’ which according to Wikipedia is Gevurah or geburah (גבורה) is the fifth sephirah in the kabbalistic tree of life, and it is the second of the emotive attributes of the sephirot. It sits below Binah, across from Chesed, and above Hod. Gevurah is ‘the essence of judgment (DIN) and limitation, and corresponds to awe and the element of fire’.

Since Gevurah is the element of fire it swallowed all the flames and took the form of a sun.


Where as Big Mom takes a soul or a part of it and animates an inanimate object

You should have noticed how Big Mom mentioned that she has given her own soul to Zeus and Prometheus. From this I infer at some point in time after Linlin went on a rampage at her birthday party, Mother Caramel summoned a thunder familiar. She used this familiar to escape and dropped her mother garb in the process. Linlin found these two familiars and later when she gained the soul soul fruit and it’s abilities she planted her own soul in these familiars thus overwriting Caramel’s control over them. This can also be inferred from how Prometheus’s name originally used to be ‘Pandora’. How can I tell Caramel did not die but rather escaped? If Caramel had died Pandora (Prometheus) and Zeus should have vanished with her but since they did not, it is a reasonable assumption that Caramel did not die.

So what happened next and how did Mother Caramel become Miss Bakkin?

If you notice the image of Miss Bakkin you will see that she is very wealthy. She has rings made of precious gems on all her fingers and a necklace which looks like it’s made of pearls. The only other people we have seen with so much jewellery on them have been Blackbeard and Big Mom. From this we can imagine she does have some wealth. As to how she accumulated this wealth- I believe this was the money she made by trying to sell Linlin to world government.​
I suspect Caramel had drugged the Sembla at Linlin’s birthday bash and planned on selling all of them all to the WG. All the children ate it and fell asleep. Linlin has a freakish constitution so she may have resisted it. After she had finished the party by eating the cake and the guests Linlin should have searched for Caramel and walked right in to the hands of WG. The WG must have given her the soul soul fruit which she then used to implant her soul in Prometheus and Zeus. After a certain point in time she should have escaped WG.

So why does Caramel surface now? You must notice how the timing when Weevil became famous is too convenient. He became well known right after Whitebeard died. I believe Bakkin surfaced now because she saw an opportunity to make a lot of money at once by inheriting Whitebeard’s treasure. To that end she bought out a new ‘Lamb’ or it may even be an old ‘Lamb’ (The knitting experiment done on Weevils face and arm could easily be the result of a Sembla party gone wrong).

Weevil has all the makings of a typical lamb. He is emotionally dependent on Caramel and has an intellect which makes Luffy look smart. Ah and he also calls her Mother.

So in conclusion I think Miss Bakkin is Mother Caramel because both are opportunistic, have a bottomless appetite for money and a knack for manipulating children.

Do tell me what are your thoughts on this theory!
