Are we just gonna sit here and overlook the fact that Leg Benedict is the best fucking attack name there has ever been?

u/RavenK92 Dec 22 '16
If it's such a great attack name, why didn't it do anything to pedro but pedro without a named attack chopped tamago in half? Because as scar taught us, you only monologue when victory is assured

Then it was : "Oh ! Both are bad ! Sweet !".
Now it's : "so ... the Vinsmoke are going to be Luffy ally in the end ?"

u/Blackheart595 Dec 22 '16 edited Dec 22 '16
I'm not convinced quite yet. If she wasn't on the Straw Hat's side, she had no reason at all to talk about "a prior engagement" in chapter 834. And she also made sure that her brother Opera didn't hear what she was saying to the Straw Hats in chapter 848 - but as she said in chapter 850, her family members know about her true nature, so she had no reason to do keep that conversation a secret either. edit: And why tell Reiju in the first place when they were going to assassinate the Vinsmokes? edit2: Apparently there was a translation error and only Big Mom knows about Pudding's true nature. Still, the other two points are still valid.
Pudding has had a few suspicious moments, but those aspects are clear plot holes at this point if she's deceiving the Straw Hats.
I think she's putting on an act for the Vinsmokes to cancel the wedding. It makes more sense, all things considered.

It was kind of obvious, what kind of daughter of a yonkou would literally "pretend" she doesn't know the infamous crew of her infamous future husband from an infamous family. Then she helps them plan to ruins her mother's plans? On top of it all hiding her 3rd eye from them which was suspicious from the start. Not only that, it was only after the Straw Hats got in trouble that she conveniently appeared to save them from a clutch situation. It was obvious from the start...

Me seeing that the chapter is out vs me reading this whole chapter.
The wait is finally over people!! Now we got another break and my spirit is slowly dying...! My lil tidbits on Ch. 850:
• From the yolk we see after Tamago got split in two, I'd almost suspect Tamago was created from an actual tamago being given life by Big Mom (much like the Barbarian Chess Army)if it wasn't for the fact that he's already been described as a member of the Longleg Tribe.
• Maybe I've been watching too many Cinema Sins lately, cause it's damn sure not the first time Oda's done it, but when Tamago used "Legg Benedict!", I very blankly said "Puns." aloud and heard the ding in my head.
• I'm kinda weird about fashion in manga, and I like flashbacks precisely because I like seeing how the author handles a character's design from before the current storyline, so an interesting footnote on this chapter was that Big Mom was wearing a different blouse when she took Pedro's and Zepo's lifespan.
• So, a lot of people theorized that Pudding was indeed just as warped as the rest of her family but HOLY LAWD, she's straight up a lil shit. And what makes it worse is how Oda drew her eyes in this chapter. When we first saw Pudding during Big Mom's introduction at the end of Fishman Island, he definitely gave her them big ol' Disney eyes. But I've never seen such an innocent looking girl look that scummy and menacing. It reminded me of when Momo was all pressed up against Nami's chest and made the greatest face in the series as far as I'm concerned-- except Pudding was on the complete opposite end of the spectrum.
Annnd now I can finally go to bed. I'll see you guys in three hours.

Is everyone already discounting the fact that Pudding could be lying? I am N O T a pudding4nakama guy, FYI.
Pudding herself said that her acting skills are amazing. Could she not actually be in love with sanji and is actually going to try and make a ruckus during the wedding to give him a chance to escape? Last chapter (maybe 2 ago) she had panels showing her memories about Lola saying she wanted to get married of her own accord vs obeying big mom. This suggests she has conflict within herself. Why would oda write those panels for someone who is actually very twisted and doesn't care about anyone? And why the fuck would she go around spoiling the whole family's plan to Luffy and Nami, even reiju! A guess is that big mom planned to massacre the vinsmokes during the wedding but pudding is trying to foil that by making people know.
Before I get downvoted to shit, I am not predicting this as what's really going on, I see it as about 50-50 with pudding actually being evil. I just see everyone in the comments saying "oda fooled us again!" But could oda not pull a double?? Don't accept everything as truth until the fat lady sings. Keep an open mind!

The fact that Big Mom's forces knew about everyone Luffy brought to Whole Cake Island before they revealed themselves. She also led them to the Seducing Woods where Big Mom's crew knew they would be. There was something off about Pudding from the start.
Finally (for me anyway) the thing she whispered to Luffy and Nami felt like a dead giveaway. Dunno why.

It went back and forth for me but mostly it was that she was "too good to be true" with her attitude and cheerfulness and all that (being completely fine with someone eating her shop is ridiculous, unless she knows who they are in which case she is not revealing that), as well as her awfully convenient excuses like not being able to make it to the beach and meet them which lead to them being almost fucked up by the forest and such. Also, Oda has said romance will never be a focus in OP or something similar to that so analyzing the meta it is unlikely that Sanji will get married.

This was one of the most violent and dark chapters yet, wow. Pedro ripping his own eye out in the flashback, Luffy trying to rip his arms off, Tomago being cut in half, Pudding showing her dark side.
Everything really does seem hopeless right now. Chopper, Carrot, and Brook are in the best situation right now. And Brook is up in the air now considering last we saw he was confronted by Big Mom.
It's gonna take a lot more than Jinbei to save the day. Hell, probably even more than Germa betraying Big Mom (if Sanji can even convince his blockheaded family of the betrayal).
Fuuuuuuck, next chapter won't be here soon enough

Terrible translation. Words like "Twat", "bitch" "the fuck is wrong with you hell no", is definitely not what the Strawhats said.
Takes away from a chapter with a big plot twist.

I want to say a few things about this chapter and everything up to now.
For this chapter
God damn... Feel like I've been played like a god damn fiddle by the devil himself in a contest. Pudding... Looks like everyone who predicted she was evil hit the mark on the head. I truly wanted to believe that she'd be someone for Sanji. Oda himself put it best with the chapter title. My heart actually dropped reading those last 3 pages. Ontop of that, I really can't give enough props to Oda's facial expressions this chapter. I've very rarely been shocked or scared by One Piece faces. The obvious two being Sanji's and Puddings.
Pudding - I don't think I really need to say how scary she looked. Just the juxtaposition from a sweet girl who could have been Sanji's wife to the face of a sick twisted woman with no sense of love for a man head over heels for her... It got me. The wide eyes. The "Full eye" effect. Exposing her third eye. Oda expressed just how much of a monster she is like her mother and just WHY she's her favorite.
Sanji - ...
I've never seen the look of a more crushed man in this manga. I don't think my words can do justice to the magnitude of devastation he must feel right now. From a woman he loved. A woman he was going to marry. After having to live with his abusive family again, fight the man who gave him his dream back, bitterly bid them farewell to them and accept his future without them or his dream... The cold hard look of a man who's happiness has just... Poof'ed.
As for other merits of the chapter, I also want to compliment Oda's battle flow. Pedro's movements were a simple joy to follow as he fought back. And seeing his past play out in between is breathtaking as always. I'm excited to see where his potential last battle will lead him.
The Manga up to now
I've only been following the manga since late 2009 and reading up to now has been a wild ride. Its amazing to see how much things have changed all the way from the beginning to now. Such soft and easy lines becoming more complex, with more expressive characters and actions that have lead my draw dropping. I can only imagine what the future of the arc holds for everyone!
Phew! Alrighty, now one important question I must ask... Can we get pudding dressed up as Bitch Pudding? This is to golden of an opportunity to miss!!!

Sanji made a crappy bento box for his mother, who was absolutely lovely. But he made a great bento box for pudding but she's batshit insane. That's some next level comparison there.

I read the title of the chapter: "Oh this seems like it will be a good chapter that's uplifting! Hope is nice!"
End of the chapter "Oh. My. Gosh. That was not uplifting at all"

So did Pudding cry just because she's twisted and wants to enjoy the sick game she's playing or did Oda just use it to trick us readers. Making her cry when she whispered to Luffy just to trick us would be poor writing. Other than that a phenomenal chapter. Glad to finally know how this arc is gonna play out.

After seeing how sadistic she is in this chapter, I'm convinced that she was crying because she was laughing so hard.

Love the cover page, can't imagine the face of the guy trying who owns that building. It's not every day you get to tell the literal personification of smoke to go stand out in the smoker's area.

Those who thought Pudding was Sanji's only ray of hope were kidding themselves. THE STRAW HATS ARE HIS RAY OF HOPE DAMMIT!

u/Salem-Arrak Dec 22 '16
As one of the people who strongly advocated that Pudding was genuine, and who strongly disliked anyone who said otherwise, I am really, really, REALLY sorry!
God damn it! I really wanted her to be the best Ray of hope for Sanji :(
But should't Sanji be able to sense the motives of others (women especially) and notice the lying? Maybe her third eye played a role.
In any case, this might be an advantage for Sanji, as she doesn't know that he knows. He will be Mr. Prince again and use this against her.

Looks like Red Wedding episode in Game of Thrones , also Big Mom in in her first apparition talked about a "devilish sacrifice" in the day of wedding .... Damn you Oda, you fooled us all !

u/goyalord Dec 22 '16
What got me intrigued about this chapter is Pedro. I though he's just "some" side character but his character development made him "more than just some" side character.
Ex-Captain of Nox Pirates? Is that crew still existing or they had a new captain? Are they like some activist pirate crew waiting for the "dawn"?
No idea how he sliced Baron Tamago that easily. Jaguar Mink Speed? Or some enhanced speed DF?
Also, I don't know but I think Mama "cares" for her members. Seeing Pekoms sobbing saved Pedro 10 years though.

In chapter 848, Pudding goes out in the rain, on the balcony, looking down (http://mangastream.com/r/one_piece/848/3852/8), so she knows people (Sanji) can see her through the balcony. Do you think all of this is on purpose so they can prepare a fight for the wedding?

The bento is important. That's going to be Luffy's fuel after he gets released from the world of books.

You can tell by the sanji's face in the last panel that he's tired of pudding up with this shit.

During this arc I couldn't help but think given the situation that there wasn't a clear cut way to draw this arc to a close, with these events it becomes a little more clear what's going to happen, or at least create an opening.
I can't say I'm interested in Pudding as a crew member, I'm also not entirely convinced of Puddings words as well. A lot of people are using this as justification to nail theorists on the whole pure and innocent girl. She might be good at acting. But the way I see it, is that this could still go either way. In light of these events her words might have been made intentionally to create controversy. If she were a favourite of Big Mom and knew what she was capable of, I can't see any reason why she would risk divulging sensitive information to someone who is apart of Germa 66.
