'One Piece' Reveals Just How Strong Bege is

One Piece has just hit the climax of the Whole Cake Island arc as the plan to assassinate Big Mom failed miserably, and now the Straw Hats find themselves running for their lives.

It's in this moment where Bege uses the full power of his Devil Fruit and turns himself into the castle mecha, Big Father. But just how strong is this Big Father? It's strong enough to take hits from Big Mom without harming anyone inside.

Bege's Castle-Castle Fruit has demonstrated its power before, allowing him to keep his entire mafia family within him to attack at a moment's notice. But not only does Bege's full power withstand the Charlotte Family's barrage in the last episode, fans got to see just how strong this transformation really was when Big Mom woke out of her shock.

Bege's Castle-Castle Fruit left the Straw Hats and Vinsmoke Family completely safe on the inside. Big Mom threw massive punches into the sides of the castle, but the inside never shook or was disturbed. Bege reveals that they'll never be disturbed inside as long as he's alive, but he's taking damage from Big Mom's attacks.

It's a matter of how long his body can endure this, so they all devise a plaan to have Caesar fly them to safely as Bege holds everyone inside his body. But by the looks of the next episode where Gear Fourth Luffy makes his return, this plan does not go off as smoothly as they had hoped.

Still, Big Father is an impressive showing of power from Bege since he can withstand an enraged Big Mom's Haki infused punches an still stand up. That's not something just any character can claim.
