After being abandoned by her parents, Big Mom grew up on Elbaf Island. There, she lived with the Elbaf tribe such as Hajrudin and his friends. Of course, Big Mom also learned the customs of the Elbaf tribe, although in the end Big Mom made a big mess by eating her own friends and killing an elder in Elbaf.

According to One Piece Vivre Card Databook volume 12, there was someone who taught Big Mom or Charlotte Linlin to live with Elbaf culture. He was Gerd, who was also a member of the Elbaf Pirates. Gerd was a kind woman who at that time taught Big Mom many things while living on Elbaf Island.

After the incident carried out by Big Mom, Gerd was traumatized. But over time, he managed to overcome the trauma and became a strong pirate. It is also mentioned that the Elbaf tribe can live up to 300 years and their aging also slows down.

In SBS One Piece volume 19, it is mentioned that a giant from the Elbaf tribe is only considered an adult when he is 40 years old. Below that, they might still be considered teenagers. At that time, Gerd might be the same age as Big Mom to become her best friend.
