In One Piece, Straw Hat Pirate Luffy must stand up against his enemies. However, 2 of his opponents proved through an action that they are actually good people – just with their own value systems.
Attention, Spoiler: Here you will find information about chapter 1161 of the One Piece manga.
What happened? In chapter 1161 of the One Piece manga, the incident at God Valley is shown. An epic battle ensues, featuring numerous notorious pirates, Marine soldiers, and members of the World Government.
During the fights, Pirate Captain Rocks D. Xebec faces a mutiny. Many of his crew members turn against him, which was already foreseeable.
However, 3 well-known faces stand against the mutiny and band together to defeat the traitors. They are Whitebeard, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin, who later becomes known as Big Mom. Whitebeard’s involvement is not surprising, as he later becomes a pirate with a sense of justice.
Only Kaido and Big Mom’s actions are surprising. After all, they are counted among the villains that Luffy had to face on his path to becoming the Pirate King. Their actions prove that they do feel something like loyalty – and that they are not such bad people who became Pirate Emperors.
Kaido and Big Mom have their own value systems
Why do they have something like morality? The goals of the two pirates are actually noble: Big Mom wants to create a utopia on Totto Land where all races can live together in peace without discrimination.
Kaido also has a commendable goal. He is assembling his own crew to overthrow the World Government and change the world. Therefore, the two pirates have goals that are worth supporting.
Why are they considered evil? However, their methods are anything but just, which is why they are regarded as villains in One Piece:
- Kaido is extremely brutal and feeds the SMILE fruits to the people of Wano Kuni. This can lead to more members for his pirate crew. However, he is also willing to accept that some transformations may fail, resulting in people with perpetual smiles.
- Big Mom is extremely temperamental and often destroys her own land in her rage. Anyone who cheats the pirate lady or declines her invitation to tea parties either dies or loses a loved one, which speaks to her selfishness.
Thus, there is a reason why they deserve to be beaten by Luffy. However, the event at God Valley shows that there is a good core within both villains.
If it had been up to the original plans of Eiichiro Oda, Kaido would have a particularly strong member in his crew. However, the mangaka of One Piece decided to make him a stand-alone villain: One Piece: The character names reveal that two of the greatest villains were originally supposed to work together
