Chapter 868 summary
Sixty-three years ago, sadness and rage fill the air as young Big Mom screams amid the destruction of Mother Caramel and the little children. A warrior of Elbaf witnesses the incident, runs off in horror, and never sets foot on the island again. His story spreads, causing Charlotte Rinrin and the giants to grow repugned by each other. Streusen, a chef and former pirate living on the island, sees the same event and laughs while using his Kuku Kuku no Mi power to turn objects into ingredients. He decides not to let the young girl die and approaches her. Young Big Mom tells Streusen she will stay with him until Mother returns and promises he will never worry about eating again. The two begin building the Big Mom Pirates together. Chaos erupts as voices shout for Rinrin to return to her senses while a gunman aims and declares that when no one can move for the next five seconds and Mama is weakened, he will pull the trigger.
