One ofOne Piece’slongstanding mysteries has beenhow Eustass “Captain” Kid managed to steal a Poneglyph from Big Mom. Though mentioned in the series, it was never shown or explained in detail how the crew managed to steal a Poneglyph, making them the front runners in discovering the One Piece.
However,in a recent SBS, author Eiichiro Odafinally revealed how the Kid Pirates pulled off this daring feat against one of the Four Emperors. In response to a fan question, he explains how Kid and his crew organized to take on one of her officers and acquire a copy of the Poneglyph, setting the stage for a pivotal moment in their journey toward the One Piece.
Oda Reveals How Kid Stole Big Mom’s Poneglyph
The Kid Pirates Operated A Calculated Attack On Charlotte Snack
According to Oda, Kid and his men attacked one of Big Mom’s warships, wherethey defeated several officers including Commander Charlotte Snack onboard, and stole a copy of the Road Poneglyph from there, which many assume was within a rubbing, similar to how the Straw Hats did in Whole Cake Island. Snack suffered another defeat byUrouge, one of the Worst Generations, which leads many to the conclusion that this is why one of Big Mom’s children was demoted and unseen during major arcs later down the road.
One Piece’s Brook Vs. Big Mom Fight is More Epic Than Ever in New Fanart
Brook has always been one of the Straw Hat Pirates’ key crew members – but now one piece of jaw-dropping fanart gives him the respect he’s due.
It’s unclear, but the clash between Snack and Kid could have happened roughly at the same time, if not back to back with Snack’s encounter with Urouge. Big Mom’s daughter Brûlée said Urouge was the only person able to put up a semblance of a fight against Snack, with no mention of Punk’s success. This could be something Oda missed or Brûlée covering up Kid’s victory against them, as the Big Mom Pirates often like to boast their wins and hide their losses.
This Reveal Only Sprouts Several More Questions
As is typical inOne Piece, answering one question only raises several more. Fans are now speculatingwhy Snack had a Poneglyph in the first place. It could have been Big Mom’s order to keep it constantly moving, similar to how “The Man with The Burn Scars” is said to handle theirs. Alternatively, the Poneglyph might have been newly acquired and in transit to Whole Cake Island when the Worst Generation struck. Additionally, Gol D. Roger once stole a copy of a Road Poneglyph from Big Mom. Whether this is the same or a different one remains a mystery.
Regardless of the circumstances, Oda’s reveal adds another intriguing layer toOne Piece’sever-expanding lore. Kid’s daring heist against one of the Four Emperors not only cements his reputation as a formidable pirate but also raises new questions about the history and movements of the Road Poneglyphs. With the series heading toward its climax, every detail about these mysterious stones becomes increasingly vital. Whether more secrets about Kid’s exploits or the fate of Big Mom’s Poneglyphs will be uncovered remains to be seen, but for now, this revelation adds another thrilling chapter to the legend of the Worst Generation.
