"One Piece" Chapter 858 recap reveals that the Straw Hat Pirates have sealed their alliance with Gang Bege. It turned out that the leader of the Fire Tank Pirates has some ill-feelings towards Big Mom, his superior. This made easy for him to turn his back against the ruler of Whole Cake Island.
Why Big Mom Grew To Be A Giant?
There is also another surprising revelation in this recap. This chapter showed why Big Mom grew her size along with other members of her family. It was related to the marriage of her daughter, Lola, and Loki, a prince of a giant race, Elbaf. Originally, Big Mom wanted Lola to marry Loki because she wants to form an alliance with the Giants.
However, Lola has no romantic feelings towards Loki, so she ran away. Big Mom was forced to substitute Chiffon in her place. Lola's refusal is the cause why Big Mom hated her so much. This "One Piece" Chapter 858 recap shows that Loki didn't like the reason when he learned about the truth. From then on, the giants' relationship with Big Mom worsened.
After some time, Big Mom gave up her hopes in making an alliance with the giants. The following "One Piece" Chapter 858 recap reveals that she began to experiment on enlarging the size of normal people by artificial means. Her large size indicates that she succeeded in her experiments. It also means that she's not a giant by birth, but a product of an experiment, instead.
Another Surprising Revelation
Another revelation was shown in this "One Piece" Chapter 858 recap. Luffy also found out that Gangster Gastino, a member of Bege's gang of pirates, is actually the former Caesar Clown. There was a time when he was about to be killed, but Bege got into his heart and made Caesar his slave. Spoilers for the next chapter suggest that he will use his powers against Big Mom.
