I was wondering, like I believe most of you would, how does Big Mom have so many children.
She doesn't look that old to have been able to have 39 daughters and 46 sons, considering that it takes 9 months for the gestation of the baby to be completed. Even if she had a couple of twins, it doesn't seem very plausible to me that she could have all these children in a natural way.
So I thought that she could have adopted children, because it looks like she's got children from a lot of different races. But then Purin said this:
Spoiler: Chapter 828
"So there really are quite a few people out there that carry on Mama's Blood", which suggests that they're not adopted, but are actually Big Mom's own blood.
And then I thought about Big Mom's Devil Fruit, the Soul-Soul Fruit. What if Big Mom, using her "incarnations" is able to make the gestation of the baby somewhere else? Since, according to Pound, she can't transfer her soul to somebody else's body:
Spoiler: Chapter 835
Obviously she would need the husbands' sperm (and they would have to be from different races/tribes) and all the things necessary to carry on an unnatural pregnancy, but in the world of One Piece maybe they could use incubators or something (please help me with this part).
What made me think that Big Mom's children have, somehow, a part of her soul inside them was this:
Spoiler: Chapter 836
Only the homies were affected by whatever Cracker did (and Luffy said it wasn't Haki), and we all know what happened to Mr. Muscato when he showed fear in front of Big Mom: he lost some of his lifespan. Which then Big Mom uses to create the homies, so I believe if the homies show fear, the soul inside them, which belongs to someone else's lifespan, would leave them as well (like what happened to Mr. Muscato), consequently killing them (like what happened in chapter 836, please check image above, in the spoiler).
This made me think that Cracker has got a tiny part of Big Mom's soul inside him, which is able to interact only with lifespans that have been messed up by Big Mom already (the homies' souls, for example).
So I would like to know your opinions about this and obviously more suggestions, as the thing that makes the less sense for me would be how Big Mom would actually be able to let a piece of her soul "create" all her children, since her soul cannot enter a body of somebody else, but can enter random objects and things.
