Charlotte Daifuku in One Piece

Daifuku is one of the children born to Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom, and he is part of a set of triplets along with Katakuri and Oven, with Daifuku being the middle child among them.

During their childhood, Daifuku and his triplet brothers shared a fondness for eating donuts together, reflecting their love for sweets, which is a characteristic trait of the Charlotte Family.

Whole Cake Island Arc

Daifuku was a part of Big Mom's Tea Party and attended the wedding between Charlotte Pudding and Sanji. His main mission, along with some of his siblings, was to sit discreetly behind the Vinsmoke Family and await the right moment to assassinate them.

As chaos erupted when Monkey D. Luffy started causing trouble at the wedding venue, Daifuku witnessed Jinbe formally resigning from the Big Mom Pirates.

Things took a dramatic turn when the wedding cake collapsed, and Brook destroyed a cherished picture of Mother Carmel. Pudding, in her moment of hesitation, attempted to shoot Sanji, but Sanji impressively dodged all her shots.

Daifuku then stepped in and summoned a genie. He not only scolded Pudding for failing in her task but also attacked Sanji with the powerful genie.

Daifuku managed to pin Sanji down using his genie's formidable strength. However, just as things seemed dire for Sanji, Luffy's actions led to Big Mom's strange scream, immobilizing Daifuku and preventing him from stopping Sanji from freeing his family.

Sometime later, Daifuku received earplugs from his brother Katakuri, which were essential to counteract Big Mom's devastating screams. He rose to confront the Straw Hat and Fire Tank Alliance once more.

In one particular encounter, Daifuku's genie attempted to capture Carrot as Bege's allies were retreating into his fortress. Still, Vinsmoke Yonji intervened and repelled the genie.

As tensions escalated and the Straw Hat Pirates, Fire Tank Pirates, and Vinsmoke Family sought refuge inside Bege's fortress, Daifuku urged his comrades not to let a single enemy escape. When Big Mom's crew attacked, the Vinsmoke Family defended themselves by blocking a volley of bullets with their capes.

Caesar Clown tried to escape with Bege while Luffy, Sanji, and the Vinsmoke Family squared off against the Big Mom Pirates. During this skirmish, Daifuku, along with Galette and Smoothie, managed to subdue Luffy, Sanji, and Reiju as they were retreating.

However, their confrontation was interrupted when the Tamatebako, a treasure chest, plummeted to the base of the Whole Cake Chateau and exploded, leading to the collapse of the castle.

When the Whole Cake Chateau miraculously transformed into cake, thanks to Streusen's powers, it was a lifesaver for the Big Mom Pirates. However, this unexpected turn of events allowed the Straw Hats, Fire Tank Pirates, and Vinsmokes to make their escape.

Daifuku took charge and organized two pursuit teams. Their mission was to track down and capture the fleeing groups.

Inside the Big Mom Pirates' ranks, panic ensued as Big Mom developed an insatiable craving for the wedding cake. This was a major concern for the crew. To distract Big Mom from pursuing the escaping enemies, Pudding devised a plan to fulfill her craving.

Daifuku, like other crew members, found refuge in the Mirro-World, a magical mirror dimension, while awaiting further orders.

To prevent their enemies from getting away, the Big Mom Pirates, including Daifuku and Smoothie, assembled a formidable fleet.

When the two fleets confronted the enemy crew, Carrot unleashed her incredible Sulong form, a state of enhanced power and agility. She targeted Daifuku's ship, swiftly defeating his crewmates and even destroying the ship's helm, rendering it unmanageable.

Furious at Carrot's actions, Daifuku summoned his powerful genie to attack her. However, Carrot's agility allowed her to dodge the genie's strikes, leading to unintended collateral damage as it destroyed several of Daifuku's own ships.

Daifuku's ship was left immobilized. He watched from a distance as Big Mom attacked the Thousand Sunny, and he was truly surprised when Jinbe managed to send Big Mom flying off the ship.

Following the diversion created by the Fire Tank Pirates, Daifuku moved onto Smoothie's ship to continue the pursuit of the Straw Hats. However, they faced resistance from Germa 66 on Cacao Island. Daifuku commented that Mont-d'Or had been outsmarted, but his younger sister reminded him that he too had faced setbacks. Daifuku implied that he had managed to catch up.

As the Thousand Sunny sailed away from Cacao Island after Luffy and Sanji returned to it, Daifuku used his much larger genie to attack Carrot, who was on the Sunny's mast. However, Sanji intervened and blocked the genie's attacks.

The arrival of the Sun Pirates changed the situation. They prevented Smoothie's ship from moving, which stopped Daifuku from attacking the Sunny any further.

Later, when Queen Mama Chanter attacked the Thousand Sunny, Daifuku was confused when he realized that it was the Sun Pirates' ship that had been destroyed. After the Straw Hats managed to escape, the Big Mom Pirates were later joined by Big Mom when she arrived on the island.

Wano Country Arc

When Big Mom attempted to infiltrate Wano, Daifuku joined his mother and crew on the Queen Mama Chanter as they tried to scale the waterfall into the country. Kaido's forces, however, attacked their ship to prevent them from reaching Wano.

Daifuku used his genie to deflect the enemy's cannonfire. But just as they were nearing the top of the waterfall, King, one of Kaido's top commanders, launched an attack that caused the ship to fall from the waterfall, plunging Big Mom into the sea.

On the seas near Wano, Daifuku realized that with King guarding the skies, the Big Mom Pirates would have a difficult time entering Wano. There was a dispute within the crew about who should become the new captain if Big Mom were to die.

Perospero claimed that as the eldest son, he should be the new captain, but Daifuku strongly disagreed. He argued that the position should go to Katakuri, considering him the strongest among them.

As time passed, the crew learned about Big Mom's newfound alliance with Kaido. On the day of the Fire Festival, the Big Mom Pirates made another attempt to climb the waterfall and enter Wano, but their efforts were thwarted once more, this time by Marco.

Daifuku's personality is best described as abrasive and violent. He is intensely focused on defeating his enemies quickly, and he becomes easily enraged when they manage to escape his grasp.

His commitment to his goals is so strong that he appears to have little regard for the safety of his own crew members, as demonstrated when he allowed his genie to destroy his own fleet's ships while pursuing a target.

He is not hesitant to resort to physical and verbal abuse towards those he deems as failing or obstructing his objectives, even if they are members of his own family, such as when he struck his sister Pudding for her failure to kill Sanji. This behavior suggests a lack of empathy and a ruthless determination to achieve his goals.

Daifuku places a significant emphasis on strength within the crew hierarchy, advocating for someone as powerful as Katakuri to lead the crew in the event of Big Mom's unforeseen demise. He has confidence in his own abilities, particularly his Devil Fruit powers, and is willing to take direct action when he deems it necessary, as seen in his decision to eliminate Sanji with his genie and to sink the Thousand Sunny.

However, despite his abrasive and cruel demeanor, Daifuku does show a degree of care and concern for his family and Totto Land as a whole. He becomes visibly shocked when Big Mom experiences a craving illness and expresses worry about stopping her rampage. Additionally, he maintains positive relationships with his brothers.

Daifuku is an imposing figure with a shaved head and short blonde hair. His yellow eyes and typically stern expression give him a hardened look.

He wears a dark blue coat with large blue and white striped shoulder-pads, which have a fur lining, and a yellow cape. He dons orange gloves and matching boots. Hooped earrings and a thick belt featuring a genie's lamp complete his distinctive attire.

As a child, he had short gray hair and wore a tank top with navy blue pants.

Daifuku, the Minister of Beans in Totto Land and a high-ranking officer in the Big Mom Pirates, possesses a formidable set of abilities.

As the Minister of Beans and a high-ranking officer in the Big Mom Pirates, Daifuku commands authority over Poripori Island and can lead a fleet of ships into battle. He holds a position of significant influence within the crew.

Daifuku is renowned as one of the "monsters" among the Big Mom Pirates, earning comparisons to his Sweet Commander siblings, Katakuri and Smoothie. This reputation indicates his exceptional combat abilities and prowess in battle.

The World Government has placed a bounty of Beli 300,000,000 on Daifuku, classifying him as a substantial threat due to his actions and capabilities.

Daifuku possesses a strong will, as evidenced by his ability to withstand Big Mom's Haoshoku Haki and remain conscious even after her powerful scream.

His large size grants Daifuku immense physical strength, which he displayed by sending Pudding flying a considerable distance with a single slap from his hand.

Daifuku is proficient in both Busoshoku (Armament) and Kenbunshoku (Observation) Haki, enhancing his combat capabilities by allowing him to defend against attacks and sense the intentions and movements of his adversaries.

Devil Fruit

Daifuku's Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, the Hoya Hoya no Mi, grants him the ability to summon a powerful genie from his body by rubbing his belly.

This genie wields a halberd and possesses incredible strength, capable of overpowering formidable opponents like Sanji. It also displays great skill with its halberd, projecting destructive slashes from a distance and growing to a colossal size.

Family

Daifuku has a strong sense of loyalty to his mother, Big Mom (Charlotte Linlin). He actively participates in her plans, such as assassinating the Vinsmoke Family and seeking revenge against the Straw Hat Pirates in Wano Country. This loyalty underscores his commitment to the Charlotte Family's ambitions.

His relationship with his half-sister, Pudding (Charlotte Pudding), is complex. Daifuku openly expresses disappointment in her for failing to carry out her tasks, even referring to her as a "useless good for nothing." However, he doesn't object when Pudding volunteers to make a new wedding cake for Big Mom, suggesting that he can put aside personal feelings for the family's greater good.

Daifuku shares a positive and supportive relationship with his older brother, Katakuri (Charlotte Katakuri). They collaborate effectively during pursuits of enemies and have a strong bond that goes beyond their roles in the crew.

Daifuku admires Katakuri's abilities and even suggests that Katakuri should become the captain of the Big Mom Pirates if their mother is unable to lead, highlighting the respect he holds for his brother.

His half-brother, Perospero (Charlotte Perospero), also has a good relationship with Daifuku. They get along, but there are moments of playful banter and rivalry between them. They occasionally argue over leadership dynamics within the crew, demonstrating a shared sense of responsibility and ambition within the family.

Crew

Within the Big Mom Pirates, Daifuku is respected as a high-ranking member due to his family ties and his role. However, his actions reveal a lack of concern for the well-being of his subordinates.

He's willing to sacrifice his own crew members to achieve his personal objectives, emphasizing his prioritization of family goals over the lives of his underlings.

Enemies

Fire Tank Pirates

Initially, Daifuku appeared to be loyal to the Fire Tank Pirates crew as they were under Big Mom's crew. However, his loyalty came into question when Capone Bege attempted to assassinate Big Mom, leading to a division. Daifuku became an enemy of Bege and his allies, and this betrayal strained his relationship with the rest of Big Mom's crew.

Sanji Retrieval Team

Daifuku's relationship with the Sanji Retrieval Team is one of hostility. He attempted to kill Sanji, which made him an enemy of the team.

Furthermore, his actions, such as smacking Pudding, who was with Sanji at the time, infuriated Sanji and intensified their enmity. Daifuku's efforts to hinder Sanji and his crew's mission to save the Vinsmoke family only deepened this animosity.

Carrot

Daifuku has a particularly strong vendetta against Carrot. He detained her during their pursuit of the Sanji Retrieval Team and even summoned his Genie to attack her.

Carrot's transformation into her powerful Sulong form caught Daifuku off guard and resulted in his fleet's destruction, fueling his anger towards her.

Vinsmoke Family

Daifuku is an enemy of the Vinsmoke Family due to his allegiance to Big Mom's plot to assassinate them. After Pudding's failed attempt to kill Sanji, Daifuku took it upon himself to eliminate Sanji.

However, he was unable to succeed in his mission as the events of the Whole Cake Island arc, including the Tamatebako explosion, disrupted his plans.

In addition to the manga and its anime adaptation, Daifuku is a playable character in One Piece Treasure Cruise.
