Ok so follow me on this one.

We know Big Mom has the powers of the Soul Soul Fruit. We've heard Pound say she ate the fruit but never heard when or saw it happen in her flashbacks. What we did see is her eat the current user of the fruit and then develop the powers.

This leads to one logical conclusion. You can gain DF powers by eating the previous user. Now it sounds completely absurd, sure, but what evidence is there that this is not the case at least in Big Mom's case.

This might not be the only instance of this action either. Let's not forget BB somehow managed to obtain the Quake Quake fruit without eating the fruit itself and most people rule out the DF stealing knife theory.

If true, the question then becomes what's the limit?
It appears to me the eating would have to result in death or occur right before death, though it's possible BB ate something like a heart resulting in WB finally passing(I know they said he was dead when they covered him but his body could have been shutting down but still just barely alive, anyway) Say if you ate a piece of someone and they stayed alive it wouldn't steal their powers and grant them to you.

Also on the note of Big Mom and how she got her powers. When she ate Carmel, Carmel had already made a flame "homie" named Pandora. I can't find anything showing Big Mom create her flame Homie Prometheus. Do you think there's a chance Prometheus is really Pandora and he was "revived" for a lack of better words when Carmel's powers re-awoke in Big Mom?

Hmmmmmm interesting idea. This is a thing that I have thought for a long time and I have even debated it with @Silenqe a couple of times.

The one thing that I find REALLY interesting is the thing with Pandora and Prometheus. I have wondered a few times what happened to Mother Caramels homies but never really thought of it this way. I don't think that when a user of the Soru Soru-no Mi dies, their homies disappear. I might be wrong tho.

I wouldn't think so either as that piece of soul is now detached and independent of the users soul. Now there may be a chance that the soul piece in Pandora or Prometheus "expires" and needs to be replenished but nothing has ever said or implied that to be the case.

Also I mentioned this in the other thread but if they are connected and a Homie dies when the creator does then the reverse should be true to an extent as well and when a Homie is hurt or killed that should effect the creator but Big Mom wasn't affected when Brook cut Prometheus.

I don't know how or why but it seems like Pandora survived and became Big Mom's. In the flashback it seems to imply she was able to use the Soul Soul powers the day she ate Carmel then jumps to a little older and she already has Prometheus and Zeus but never shows her make them.
