I love this kind of chapters. We just receive some additional information and suddenly my perception on the entire situation changes. In particular Mother Caramel is interesting. Based on the few things we know it's someone BM must have met a long time ago as apparently none of her children know her and she saved BM. I can hardly imagine that someone like her needs to be saved from anything and be that grateful to her savior. So this can only have happened decades ago when BM was still childless and an up and coming pirate rookie.
That she calls her Mother Caramel says a lot as this creates the image that, similar to WB, Charlotte Linlin had either a bad family or none at all, hence her dream of creating a huge ass family with all the species in the world and that this Caramel was some kind of a foster mother to her.
And obviously her identity would have the most impact on the story if she somehow was related to one of the Strawhats or at least an unexpected, but relevant character. So I'm going to throw a random curve ball her and say she's, using Sheldon Cooper's terminology, Luffy's meemaw.
More importantly though this chapter is backing up my hypothesis that Pudding might become a turncloak and will betray BM. I interpret her reaction in this chapter as that she's completely sick of this all, however she has no choice but to obey BM. So if she would disappear, she would have all the freedom in the world to do her own thing.
Lets all take a moment and appreciate the coolest design of my eldest brother Ichiji. Ahh his tattoo is pretty lit too! Love you onii-san!

Yeah it's cool, but honestly I'm more smitten by that cup of coffee he's having as it really gives me the impression the cup itself is flipping out because the coffee is too strong.
Just a few words
The plan will fail.
Of course it will fail. It would simply be boring if the plan would exactly go as planned, but putting that aside there's a bomb no one knows about that's almost certainly going to explode at some point.
They made it sound like she's as durable as Kaidou this chapter. I wonder if it's haki related or a natural durability?
Well if it was just natural, it wouldn't make sense that her having a mental breakdown would suddenly negate it. Currently I'm inclined to believe it's some kind of a passive version of the CoA that's always active as long as they user is in control. I mean WB for instance was able to withstand cannon fire directly, so it's something that automatically grows with you when your haki becomes stronger. But of course when you have a mental breakdown you lose focus and it's negated. It's comparable to how there have been instances where Logia users were caught so off guard they couldn't dematerialize into their element and where hit physically.
