Hello once again everyone and welcome back to yet another theory for your entertainment. This time I shall be discussing the crew structure of Big Mom and her daughters.

Oda himself has admitted that his drawings got alot of inspiration from Disney and he obviously has characters that are inspired from Disney.

Big Mom has 3 Disney inspirations(that relates to this theory).

Ursula from the Little Mermaid.

Ursula made a deal with Poseidon(WB), is a witch(Big Mom has alot of witch references), tried taking over Atlantis(Big Mom owns Fishman Island) and had an arranged marriage to do so.

The Evil Queen from Snow White.

The Evil Queen was jealous of her step daughter Snow White being the fairest in the land so she plotted to kill her using witchcraft. She was stopped by the 7 dwarfs and the prince.

The Evil Step Mother from Cinderella

The evil step mother was very harsh to Cinderella and wanted her real daughters to marry the prince and become rich. In the real story, the step mother made her daughters cut off parts of their feet so that the glass slipper would fit them.

Its also good to note that Cinderella was inspired by former Queen of France Marie Antoinette, who is famous for the line “Let Them Eat Cake”(and running France into the ground starting the French Revolution).

Step Mothers suck.

Big Mom loves her real daughters.

Big Mom only views her step daughters as tools for political power.

This could be why Pudding doesn’t look so happy with her wedding and Lola why goes out of her way to find spouse.

It is thanks to her step daughters and political marriages that Big Mom has more influence and reach than any yonkou.

In case you are like…”Huh??” with Sugar & Monet…

Already spoke too much about Big Mom being French in past theories….not doing it again…..

Big Mom’s ship has a crown which is another hint to Big Mom being a queen.

Big Mom’s crew also has a mafia theme.

The leader of a mafia is called Mr. Big or Father. Charlotte Linlin is known as Big Mom and Mama.

Capone himself referred to Big Mom as his boss.

Big Mom’s act of sending ‘presents’ to her victims is a common mafia punishment.

A mafia is also called a FAMILY(hence why the mafia leader can be called ‘Father’). Mafia families and alliances are extremely common in the criminal world so the Charlotte Family could be royalty, purely a mafia family or both.

To add more to the mafia boss and evil queen, Big Mom rules her crew with fear.

Hell, she even eats her crew mates alive…..

D: The powers of the Donquixote executives in the Dressrosa arc…”ton ton -> kilo kilo” “beta beta -> doru doru” “buki buki -> supa supa” “pamu pamu -> bomu bomu”, are they of a higher tier than those of the Baroque Works members?  Taoka S43

Oda: Powers of a higher tier exist indeed, for now it’s the following 4.
ton ton > kilo kilo ; hie hie > yuki yuki ; magu magu > mera mera ; buki buki > supa supa
And there are some more of the same sort, and such that are rather doubtful, but it’s also a question of who is using the fruit and how. And the strength of a fruit doesn’t equal the strength of the character.
You can never know which fight will occur, and how it ends.

Hello once again everyone and welcome back to another theory for your constipation. This time I shall be diving into the path to purification of Roronoa Zoro.

Luffy, Zoro and Sanji; the defiance, the demon and the devil; the monkey, the dragon and the phoenix; Sun Wukong, Ao Guang and Yama.

You all are probably wondering what I mean when I say “dragon Buddha” and half of it is just Zoro’s future animal spirit. I believe Zoro is becoming a dragon and is on a path to Buddhahood. From Shark, to tiger, to Dragon, to Buddha.

Hold on….isn’t Sengoku already a Buddha? Yes, but he’s not a real one. The real Buddha is skinny.

Sengoku is the fat laughing Buddha; one of the 7 Lucky Gods of Fortune.

In the popular Chinese novel Journey To The West(plan on doing a topic on Sun Wukong-OP connection soon), Sun Wukong, The Monkey King was on a rampage on the only one who was able to keep him in line was Buddha. Luffy is obviously based off Sun Wukong(like DBZ Goku) and Zoro acts as Luffy’s “Buddha.”

Okay then….Zoro is crossing the ten paths of Buddhahood and he is waling multiple paths at once. The following paths(also known as worlds) are as follows:
(1) hell
(2) hungry spirits
(3) animals
(4) asuras
(5) human beings
(6) heavenly beings
(7) voice-hearers
(8) cause-awakened ones
(9) bodhisattvas
(10) Buddhas

Paths 1 through 4 are known as the evil paths and for most of pre-TS, Zoro was a shark(keep this in mind).

(1)Hell indicates a condition in which living itself is misery and suffering, and in which, devoid of all freedom, one’s anger and rage become a source of further self-destruction.

Zoro has yet to be consumed by his rage(I believe he will in Wano) but he does get really angry when it comes to Sanji….and Nami…..and Luffy……and Usopp…..

(2) The world of hungry spirits. Also called the world of hunger. A condition governed by endless desire for such things as food, profit, pleasure, power, recognition, or fame, in which one is never truly satisfied. The above work reads, “Greed is the world of hungry spirits.”

Zoro wants power to be able to achieve his dream. Eevn when he makes a breakthrough, he is still unsatisfied with himself cause he believes do better.

Remember when I said Zoro was a shark? All sharks do is eat and lets not forget the most important thing; Zoro loves booze.

(3) The world of animals. Also called the world of animality. It is a condition driven by instinct and lacking in reason, morality, or wisdom with which to control oneself. In this condition, one is ruled by the “law of the jungle,” standing in fear of the strong, but despising and preying upon those weaker than oneself. The same work states, “Foolishness is the world of animals.”

Zoro became infamous in East Blue by hunting pirates weaker than him and referred to as a blood-thirsty demon. Zoro was also very foolish in challenging the WSS at the Baratie.

(4) The world of asuras. Also called the world of animosity or the world of anger. In Indian mythology, asuras are arrogant and belligerent demons. This condition is called the world of animosity because it is characterized by persistent, though not necessarily overt, aggressiveness. The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind states, “Perversity is the world of asuras.” It is a condition dominated by ego, in which excessive pride prevents one from revealing one’s true self or seeing others as they really are. Compelled by the need to be superior to others or surpass them at any cost, one may feign politeness and even flatter others while inwardly despising them. The worlds of hell, hungry spirits, animals, and asuras are collectively called the four evil paths.

Arrogance, pride, aggressiveness, ego. a fraking asura….do I even need to explain? I mean Zoro is SOOOO arrogant that….

I’ll now have to talk about the swords Zoro had during his travels of the 4 evil paths.

Zoro’s first sword was the Wado Ichimonji which means “Straight Path of Harmony.” Its pure white sheath represents purity, enlightenment and good.

Zoro’s 2nd sword was the Yubashiri which means “Song of My Skin.” It is a very sharp, light and easy to manage sword that it symbolized with its golden pattern.

Zoro’s 3rd sword is one that symbolizes the evil paths; The cursed Sandai Kitetsu which means “Third Generation Demon Cutter.” The grip and scabbard of the sword is almost completely red which symbolizes rage, anger and blood( Off topic but Shiliew’s sword sheath is white but is red at the bottom with a few red spots. It symbolizes tainted purity).

From the get go, Zoro knew the sandai was a cursed sword and liked it.

Lastly, as for the evil paths, did you know that Zoro actually feared death? That’s right. Zoro was afraid to die at one point because he wanted to achieve his dream that badly.

***********************

Paths 5 and 6 goes along with paths 1 to 4 and make the 6 paths of uncertainty. More on this later.

(5) The world of human beings. Also called the world of humanity. The same work reads, “Calmness is the world of human beings.” In this state, one tries to control one’s desires and impulses with reason and act in harmony with one’s surroundings and other people, while also aspiring for a higher state of life.

Zoro constantly scolds Luffy on remaining focused and curses himself when he ‘loses his cool” during his fights like with square Kaku and high-pitch Pica. Zoro knows he has to stay focus or his dream of being WSM will bite the dust.

(6) The world of heavenly beings. Also called the world of heaven. The same work states, “Joy is the world of heaven.” This is a condition of contentment and joy that one feels when released from suffering or upon satisfaction of some desire. It is a temporary joy that is dependent upon and may easily change with circumstances. The six worlds from hell through the world of heavenly beings are called the six paths. Beings in the six paths, or those who tend toward these states of life, are largely controlled by the restrictions of their surroundings and are therefore extremely vulnerable to changing circumstances.

All of Zoro’s victories and joy is short lived. He defeated Mr 1 but his joy of victory didn’t last long and he did not know what his path led from there; He managed to defeat Kaku and save Robin in EL but his sowrd Yubashiri was destroyed; Moriah was defeated and Zoro got a new sword, but Kuma appeared and Zoro almost died.

By the time Thriller Bark came along, Zoro became a tiger.

A tiger is actually very passive and only gets aggressive when its on the hunt or is protecting its cubs. If it doesn’t see you as a threat, it’ll let you go. Living up to the paths of humanity and now being a tiger, Zoro tried to sacrifice himself to protect Luffy.

*****************

Paths 7 to 10 are known as the 4 noble paths.

(7) The world of voice-hearers, a condition in which one awakens to the impermanence of all things and the instability of the six paths. Also called the world of learning. In this state, one dedicates oneself to creating a better life through self-reformation and self-development by learning from the ideas, knowledge, and experience of one’s predecessors and contemporaries. “Voice-hearers” (shrāvaka) originally meant those who listen to the Buddha preach the four noble truths and practice the eightfold path in order to acquire emancipation from earthly desires.

For starters, Zoro can hear the breath of all things(needs work though).

Zoro completely swallowed his pride to beg Mihawk to train him. He decided to better himself for the sake of his captain more so than his own dreams.

As you know, after the TS, Zoro overcame the uncertainties of the six paths; thanks to his 2 year training, he has crossed the six paths and is now on his path to becoming a dragon. Overcoming the 6 paths has been symbolizes with this panel.

Zoro has crossed the six paths of uncertainty; his path is clear. Zoro aims to be the WSS and knows that if he cant help his captain become the Pirate King, then he isn’t worthy of becoming the WSS. Zoro is now a full fledged tiger and is one his journey to becoming a dragon.

Zoro’s 4th sword, Shusui symbolizes his clear path. Shusui means “Clear Autumn Water” and autumn is the season of change. Shusui is the national treasure of Wano and Wano seems to follow Shinto and Buddhist religion and dragons are viewed as snake-like water serpents that should be slain.

The crossguard is also shaped like a lotus; a chrysanthemum lotus to be exact which is the Imperial Seal of Japan.

Ryuuma, the previous owner of the Shusui, slayed a dragon using the blade. In Punk Hazard, Zoro used the Shusui to slay a dragon.

Also in Punk Hazard, Zoro “slayed” another creature from Shintoism with a move called “Great Dragon Movement,” calling himself a beast.

Lastly, Shusui is heavy and destructive, symbolizing the burden Zoro willingly carries on his back toward his dream as well as his captain’s. Have you noticed that it has become Zoro’s favorite blade for itoryu techniques over the TS? Shusui is also a black blade with a flowing red pattern.

Black represents power, fear, mystery, evil, death, authority, elegance, formality, strength, rebellion and sophistication. The color black surrounding the flowing red pattern symbolizes Zoro’s control over his bloodlust and the Sandai Kitetsu.
**************************

Paths 8 and 9 will be Zoro’s complete transformation into a dragon(in Wano).

(8) The world of cause-awakened ones, a condition in which one perceives the impermanence of all phenomena and strives to free oneself from the sufferings of the six paths by seeing some lasting truth through one’s own observations and effort. Also called the world of realization. “Cause-awakened ones,” also known as “self-awakened ones” (pratyekabuddha), originally meant those who attain a form of emancipation by perceiving the twelve-linked chain of causation or by observing natural phenomena. Persons in the worlds of voice-hearers and cause-awakened ones, which are together called persons of the two vehicles, are given more to the pursuit of self-perfection than to altruism. They are also willing to look squarely at the reality of death and seek the eternal, in contrast to those in the world of heaven, who are distracted from life’s harsh realities.

(9) The world of bodhisattvas, a state of compassion in which one thinks of and works for others’ happiness even before becoming happy oneself. Bodhisattva, which consists of bodhi (enlightenment) and sattva (beings), means a person who seeks enlightenment while leading others to enlightenment. Bodhisattvas find that the way to self-perfection lies only in altruism, working for the enlightenment of others even before their own enlightenment. Nichiren states in The Object of Devotion for Observing the Mind: “Even a heartless villain loves his wife and children. He too has a portion of the bodhisattva world within him”.

(10) The world of Buddhas, or Buddhahood. This is a state of perfect and absolute freedom in which one realizes the true aspect of all phenomena or the true nature of life. One can achieve this state by manifesting the Buddha nature inherent in one’s life. From the standpoint of the philosophy of the mutual possession of the Ten Worlds, Buddhahood should not be viewed as a state removed from the sufferings and imperfections of ordinary persons. Attaining Buddhahood does not mean becoming a special being. In this state, one still continues to work against and defeat the negative functions of life and transform any and all difficulty into causes for further development. It is a state of complete access to the boundless wisdom, compassion, courage, and other qualities inherent in life; with these one can create harmony with and among others and between human life and nature. In the above work, Nichiren states, “Buddhahood is the most difficult to demonstrate”, but he also says, “That ordinary people born in the latter age can believe in the Lotus Sutra is due to the fact that the world of Buddhahood is present in the human world”.

This is reserved for when Zoro achieves his dream and is relieved of all burdens.

*Theory by Vandenreich

I’ll like to welcome you guys in another of my absurd theories!!

Oda has been always been inspired from folk tales and fairy tales.In his story he has put reference from stories like The Singing Bone(Brook),Snow white (Alvida’s mirror),Noah Ark(Noah),Pinocchio (Usopp ) and a lot more.

In Dressrosa, Oda drew this panel-

Nico Robin was tied down to the Earth with the help of the strings.

This scene was inspired by Gulliver Travels, a novel written by Jonathan Swift .The Lilliputian,i.e the dwarfs tied up Gulliver to the ground as Gulliver laid on the ground,unconscious.

This sounds similar to Robin, who found herself tied up after regaining consciousness.

Another thing to notice is that unlike in the Gulliver travels,the dwarfs in One Piece are gullible.

I believe that this is more of a reference to Gulliver,who like his name suggest, was Gullible.

But what is more interesting is that there is more to Gulliver travels than just the encounter of Gulliver with the Lilluput dwarves.There are more places in the story that Gulliver visited.

The places that Gulliver visited are :
1)Lilliput and Blefuscu – inhabited by Dwarves
2)Brobdingnag-Inhabited with Giants.
3)Glubbdubdrib – Isle of Sorcerers.
4)Luggnagg – Based near Japan, with a feudal system and immortal citizens

5)Laputa – A Mobile floating island
6)Balnibarbi.

As far as we have seen , Noland has visited Green Bit , the land of the Dwarves.
We have also seen that the land of Giants exists in the world if One Piece ,as the name of Elbaf.

Fable is the word that comes out when Elbaf is written from the opposite end.
A Fable as a noun means – a short story, typically with animals as characters, conveying a moral while as a verb,fable means – tell fictitious tales.

Now , I would like you to read the 2nd paragraph in this page.Do note the words ‘fable in reverse’

I do believe that Elbaf will also be a reference from Gulliver travels.

Similarlly ,there is Balnibarbi,another land that Gulliver visited in the story.I believe Balnibarbi is a reference to Shandoria,the land where the Golden City was placed upon.

These are some words that would describe Balnibarbi –

Apart from Munodi’s own estate, which seems to flourish and thrive, the rest of the land has been ruined and eroded away. It seems that several people decided to visit Laputa, and were dissatisfied with their own existence down below.

In Shandoria, the farms and crops were in ruin.

The Shandoria houses looked pale when compared to the Golden City.The Golden City in itself looked like the Black sheep in the island.

This is much similar to Balnibarbi, where except for Muondi’s estate,everything looked in ruins.

The Shandorians were primitive men like the people in Balnibarbi.

Also similar to Gulliver travels,where the people went to Laputa,the people of Shandoria came from the Moon to the Earth.

————————————–
As from above,you have probably seen that Oda has made references from Gulliver travels in quite a few instances.

But,here,I will be basically mentioning about Laputa.

Laputa is a flying island. It is about 4.5 miles in diameter, with an adamantine base, which its inhabitants can maneuver in any direction using magnetic levitation.

In Dressrosa,Oda has shown one more reference of Gulliver travels.

Do notice in both the pictures,there are similarities like the island on the Northwest,the borders of the islands.
The position of Green Bit in the first map is taken by Laputa on the 2nd map.

Now before I go on any further,let me describe to you the inhabitants of Laputa.

Laputa’s population consists mainly of educated people, who are fond of mathematics, astronomy, music and technology. Servants make up the rest of the population.

The Laputans have mastered magnetic levitation .

Laputa is a male-dominated society. Wives often request to leave the island to visit the land below; however, these requests are almost never granted because the women who leave Laputa never want to return. The clothes of Laputans, which do not fit, are decorated with astrological symbols and musical figures. They spend their time listening to the music of the spheres. They believe in astrology and worry constantly that the sun will go out.
The Laputan women are highly sexed and adulterous, preferring men from the island of Balnibarbi. The Laputan husbands, who are so abstracted in mathematical and musical calculations, don’t know that their wives are adulterous.

So intent are the Laputans in their scientific studies that they cannot function in the everyday world, or even perceive it.
Now,Laputa is a male dominated society filled with people who liked to research.Also Laputa,is an island that moved upon itself.

Doesn’t this reminds of this place in One Piece?

Weatheria,the sky island whose inhabitants studies the weather and climates of the One Piece world.

The sky island was mobile as it drifts with the winds.And the people would often descent to collect supplies.

Also the society looked to be full of males that love to research the effects of weather.

But,let me clarify it, Weatheia is not the Laputa of One Piece.Rather it is a man made establishment at a small sky island.

First of all,let me point out to you this picture

The island if Weatheria seems to have machines fitted inside it.
Now studying the weather seemed possible but the efficiency in creation of machines pointed me out that the people of Weatheria has much potentials in other fields than just weather and climate.

Also,it seemed strange that there are no children in Weatheria.This seemed strange to me that if Weatheria is a island ,then his come the old men there could not think of offspring ,who will continue their studies.

And one more point I’ll like to mention.

Do note that except for Boin Archipelago and Weatheria, there are nicknames for each other island shown above.I can understand for Boin archipelago, as it is an uninhabited island and hence the name in itself suggests the nature of island.

But what about Weatheria,an island that has inhabitants and have been known to many countries as Weatheria used to collect supplies.

We know,that Oda does plans out things and give a fitting and unique name to anything , whether it be a person or country.But when I read the name Weatheria,it didn’t fit more to Oda’s style.Usually Oda would put more of a fitting name to such a beautiful country,like as he did for Boin Archipalego.
I beleive Weatheria was created from the hand of the men of the Laputa. It is a establishment that controls the research over weather and climate and so it was named Weatheria.
It was not a country since long ago and rather it can be called an establishment and part of Laputa hence no nickname was given to it.

Now,we have been also introduced to a floating mass of body that levitated .

—————————————-
Now,in Skypiea,we have been introduced to two new races,Skypieans and Shandians.It is my belief that in this sky island also,there will be a race.

Indeed,but before that let me tell you,Oda is a huge fan of Dragon ball z .Rather I would like you to read this interview to know how much Oda liked Dragon Ball(the first version).
Oda has also shown two references to Dragon Ball :

This time I believe Oda will take inspiration from these guys.

This time i am refering to the Demon clan(mazoku) of Dragon Ball manga.Do note that from the interview I gave above,we can determine that Oda does admire Dragon Ball .There is also a special characteristoc of many of the demons in Dragon Ball ,that I’ll mention later.

Now let me point out the term Mazoku.

Mazoku(魔族) is a common concept in Japanese fantasy referring to a clan of beings born with supernatural and paranormal powers.

In fictional usage,The meaning of mazoku differs from series to series. Some stories coins the term general to all evil beings (instead of a single biological species) that are enemies or nemesis of humans and good gods; while some others used it to specify a certain tribe (not necessarily evil). Since the word does not refer to any specific fantasy species, what the term refers to varies from series to series. Sometimes, it is portrayed as other biological species, with individuals having similar characteristics, while other series having unique features on different individuals.
They look completely human .

Now , I believe that Oda has used a race , that are similar to the Mazoku,and can also be coined as one because of their powers.

Although the term maō is also used as king of mazoku, it is also commonly used as a general term of king of demons, king of devils, and more general, just an overlord, a dark lord or an archenemy of the hero. Having a maō in a series does not necessarily mean that there is a mazoku clan for it to rule, a maō can simply rule humans, monsters, anything or nothing at all. Der Erlkönig, by Johann Wolfgang widely translated as “Elf King” in English, was translated as 魔王 (Maō) in Japanese.

Also, do note,Mazoku are often connected with magic.

But the most important of their characteristics, which is what the special characteristic of the demon in Dragon Ball , is that they have pointed ears.

Getting my point: Magic,Pointed ears, Looking normal humans.

I believe Oda will introduce the Elves in Laputa.

An elf (plural: elves) is a type of supernatural being in Germanic mythology and folklore.Reconstructing the early concept of an elf depends almost entirely on texts in Old English or relating to Norse Mythology .Later evidence for elves appears in diverse sources such as medical texts, prayers, ballads, and folktales.

Do note that Oda is a fan of Norse mythologies and has introduced Centaurs , Dwarf , Giants, Harpies and etc.

Modern fantasy literature has revived the elves as a race of semi-divine beings of human stature who are friendly with nature and animals. Although the álfar of Norse Mythology has influenced the concept of elves in fantasy, the elves are different from Norse and the traditional elves found in Middle ages folklore.

A hallmark of fantasy elves is also their long and pointed ears (a convention begun with a note of Tolkien’s that the ears of elves were “leaf-shaped”).The length and shape of these ears varies depending on the artist or medium in question. Post-Tolkien fantasy elves tend to be immortal or longeval in comparison to humans, more beautiful and wiser, with sharper senses and perceptions, and abilities or crafts that seem alien or magical.

Though Tolkien originally conceived his Elves as more fairy-like than they afterwards became, he also based them on the god-like and human-sized Ljósálfar of Norse mythology. His elves were conceived as a race of beings similar in appearance to humans but fairer and wiser, with greater spiritual powers, keener senses, and a closer empathy with nature. They are great smiths and fierce warriors on the side of good.

Tolkien’s Elves of Middle-earth are biologically immortal in the sense that they are not vulnerable to disease or the effects of old age (closer to the concept of indefinite lifespan than true immortality). Although they can be killed in battle like humans and may alternately wither away from grief, their spirits only pass to the blessed land in the west called Valinor, whereas humans’ souls leave the world entirely.

Post-Tolkien fantasy elves (popularized by the Dungeons & Dragonsrole-playing game) tend to be beautiful, fair, and close in size to humans (usually taller, sometimes shorter). A hallmark of fantasy elves is also their long and pointed ears. In gaming, and to some extent fantasy literature, elves as a rule have a greater depth of knowledge (especially regarding magic) than their human counterparts, due to a racial inclination as well as their extreme age.

If you have read all this ,well kudos to you…

Now,in One Piece,there have been many a instances where the term magic,spell or sorcery has been used.

Indeed,we have also met two fortune tellers also , Basil Hawkins and Madame Sharly.
Basil Hawkins was also called the Magician in the One Piece world.

Nami’s Sorcery climatact had improved and its name also changed after the Time skip . She was also called a wizard by the New Fishmam pirates.

The Weatheria people also wore wizard clothes and indeed looked like wizards with their beards.

Also Harpy and Yuki-onna are magical entities that Monet transformed into.

So,with so many references, we will get to see magic in the one piece world and that us mainly through the Elves in Laputa.

————————————————

Also now I would like to mention thing,we have seen dwarves in the current story aside from the guys in Weatheria.

I am talking about Monet,Donquixote underling at the ports.

First of all I’ll rather put that her character and her past has yet not been explored and I doubt won’t explore her and Sugar in the future.

Also there is no introductory box for Sugar while other members of the Donquixote crew did get one each.
This means that Oda is planning to introduce Sugar later .

Both Monet and Vergo got strange Introductory panels.We also know that Monet was not indeed an Harpy and more of a human.

Later it was revealed that Vergo was a Vice Admiral and was given a proper introduction.

So in the end,Monet and Sugar are the only ones that did not get their correct introduction panels.I believe that irrespective of Monet being dead or alive,she has to play a role in a future arc(Laputa arc).

Also in volume 77 SBS, Oda mentioned

Sugar and Monet were rescued from an extremely misfortunate environment by Doflamingo himself, and as sisters aged 9 and 17, they resolved to throw their lives away if it were for the sake of the Family. They were provided with Devil Fruits after joining. You see, Doflamingo is very observant of the “environments” that people grow up in.

It’s the extremely misfortune environment at Laputa that Oda is referring to here. Women at Laputa were often adulterous and I believe Monet and Sugar are not biological sisters.Because of very less regard given to women in Laputa,Monet and Sugar grew up in a environment which discriminated of women.

It has been hinted that Monet did study astrology while Sugar did not show any traits of being excelled in a field of science yet.

Do notice that Sugar eyes are blue which is a recessive trait in usual.
I believe that Sugar is the offspring of a Elf couple while Monet is the offspring of one of Sugar’s parents and a slave.

Sugar has been based on Amelie Poulain,a person who spent her childhood at home having private tutoring.
Similarly Sugar stayed her whole life at a private home in Laputa with Monet taking care of her and fulfilling her needs.
Because of which Sugar got hold of some eccentric qualities and behaved like a spoiled brat.
Also Monet got experienced in child rearing which she used to raise the children at Punk Hazard.

Now for Monet’s attacks, we already know that Doflamingo has based the name of some of his attacks from the past incidents.

I believe Snow fence was a reference to her past where she had to live in a place with limited movements.She was forbidden from exiting Laputa and perhaps a fence would be best to describe her life at Laputa.

Perhaps this is her strangest attacks where is has not been explained ,why the rabbits were used.
Elves are often resembled with rabbits because of their sharp pointed ears,which looks the same as rabbits.

I believe ,during her stay with Sugar,Sugar often used to call her a rabbit,hence the attack name came up.

Do notice that at no instance in the Manga(not the anime),Monet or Sugar’s ears were showed.I would had called this a coincidence but for when Monet’s ears were not shown when she had short hair,I believed it is not a coincidence. Rather it was to hide the fact that she is a elf.

Yuki-onna and Harpies,are sometimes also shown as magical beings having no ill will though they are also referred to as evil ones .

Also Sugar ‘turning people into Toys’ can be also called as magic,as in magic turning ‘objects into animals and birds’ are a common trick.

Taking all these points and checking the characteristics of Laputans and Elves given above like efficiency in astronomy, keener senses etc , I believe Monet and Sugar are in actual a elf.
————————————————–

So who do I believe will take part in Laputa arc.

The arc will center Nami ,a person who is obviously referred with magic and witches.It will be in this arc that perhaps her Climatact will get a huge needed upgrade.
Also in the SBS,Oda told that he actually planned a Nami vs Monet fight in Punk Hazard.Ironically it would be a fight between two magic users.

Also Haredas has been shown to occupy a orb,which usually is used by Sorcerers and witches.

Also , coming to witches , Big Mom will also take part in this arc.

Also , Capone, whose ship was pulled towards Laputa,has been shown to be involved with Big Mom.Perhaps he has became an ally of Big Mom after his travels in Laputa.
Perhaps we may see Sugar again and even Hawkins.

*Theory by sonnua

D: How old is Corazon? Why is it that Sugar isn’t present in the Dofla-family flashback scenes?                                               P.N. Roronoa Romugen

O: Corazon is 2 years younger than Doflamingo. He died at the age of 26. So Sugar and Monet would end up joining after this incident. These two were rescued from an extremely misfortunate environment by Doflamingo himself, and as sisters aged 9 and 17, they resolved to throw their lives away if it were for the sake of the Family. They were provided with Devil Fruits after joining. You see, Doflamingo is very observant of the “environments” that people grow up in.
