** Among Big Mom’s children, while not all of them are as sociopathic as Big Mom herself, most of them are very much not good people. Three exceptions exist: DefectorFromDecadence Charlotte Lola, her twin Charlotte Chiffon, and Charlotte Praline of the Sun Pirates. [[spoiler:Eventually, with her HeelFaceTurn, Charlotte Pudding brings the number of heroic Charlotte children up to four.]]
** There’s a general lack of decent members of the Beast Pirates, with even the ones who have redeeming qualities ultimately having morality in the hard negatives. The closest thing to an exception is Speed; while Tama had to use her Devil Fruit to make Speed and many other Beast Pirates turn against Kaido, Speed makes it clear that she believes GoodFeelsGood and intends to remain on the side of the angels once Tama’s ability wears off.
