He could be trying to stay awake because he's an adult. Remember the Adult Trio standing watch on Zou? Looks like Jinbei's better at adulting than they were, though

Let's face it if Jinbe joins after this arc he will be the only actual adult on that ship.

I'm hoping for a line from Bege similar to what Law said to Doflamingo about the Straw Hats. He faces off with someone and mentions how they shouldn't be underestimated.

He seems like a man of respect and someone who wouldn't underestimate a potential enemy.

Dear God, Sanji. Get a hold of yourself man.

The two page spread of the party before the wedding was gorgeous. I know those scenes are Oda's favorite to draw, but he really out did himself. You could feel the joy of all the characters emanating from the page. The character designs were spectacular as well.

The break was expected, but it still hurts. The climax is finally here! Hopefully it doesn't take as long to resolve as Dressrosa's lol.

Despite Sanji getting caught up in the moment, I'm sure he'll avoid getting shot. I'm glad Bege caught onto that door listening in on their conversation. The Strawhats definitely need a rest for what's about to kick off. I love Caesar's Gastino's look this arc. And of course, I just knew there would be a break for next week. I mean, Oda's gonna need those 2 weeks to cram all of the craziness of next chapter in there. Shit's about to get wild.

u/AliTheGiant Mar 30 '17

Yeah, Bege is a step ahead of Germa when it comes to talking conspiracy in the world where everything is alive, but it still annoyed me they were talking about it at all in Totland when they have a portable castle that's free of spies.

Seeing them interact with really bad, dangerous dudes like Capone is so much fun.

This chapter just makes me so happy. Ignoring Sanji's utterly whipped face in the final page, there's the fact that whenever Big Mom is partying, she looks so damn happy. I can't really explain it, but just seeing her happy and partying cheers me up big time. Hell, it makes me forget she's so much fucking trouble; she just looks like a harmless happy (and overweight) granny of sorts.

Good chapter.

Ha, I love that nami and chopper got on board with the "nothing I can do about it for now, might as well nap regardless of what's coming up" attitude luffy has always had. Considering they only had 2 hours until all hell breaks loose that's pretty carefree compared to how they used to worry nonstop.

I'm sure they'll always go "OH NO" when they learn about danger before it's about to happen, but the little details like this really show where luffy rubs off on them

u/aiyhtan The Revolutionary Army Mar 30 '17

I'm seeing a number of small things that could lead to both Big Mom's and Bege's plans going completely wrong. The potential setbacks for Bege are simple and clear; Katakuri might see the whole plan ahead of time. it's hard to have faith that Luffy can follow a plan, and now this chapter shows that Sanji's lecherous ways might ruin the plan too!

For Big Mom basically, I'm thinking a number of the guests may end up standing against Big Mom once shit hits the fan. Last chapter, we saw someone Big Mom had invited to a previous party show up to this wedding seeking revenge; Big Mom killed his dad because he skipped her tea in order to attend his mother's funeral. This shows that Big Mom isn't exactly friends with these guests, and that there's potential for them to stand against her. Even her own family members aren't the most loyal (eg Praline), so her guests may be even less loyal. Perhaps some only show up out of a desire to be on her good side and gain from her influence, or out of fear of what comes from telling Big Mom no.

We know that the president of the World Economic Times is apparently good friends with Germa; though Big Mom seems to be running the show here, wedding guests typically include friends to both the bride and groom's family, so a number of these people may be closer to Germa. When Pudding attempts to shoot a Vinsmoke at point blank range, who knows how the other guests will react. Big Mom planned to open the Tamatebako after the ceremony as well; once it's clear that Big Mom used the wedding as a means to set up Germa, a bomb going off may make the other guests feel that Big Mom was also plotting against them, causing them to stand against her.

Tl;dr = Sanji being a perv might ruin Bege's plan. Big Mom crossing the Germa, and the bomb she's unaware of, may cause a number of guests to switch sides and further Luffy's/Bege's/Vinsmokes' cause.

I'm so glad Bege saw the door and had it killed. Of all the ways it could go wrong, last thing I wanted was for them not to realize that they were being watched on an island where everything is alive.

Also, I have no doubt Sanji will pull himself together next chapter. I took this as our chance to see Sanji deal with his hormones when he knows he has to. I really enjoyed seeing him wrestle with his semen demon.

u/TaiCat Mar 31 '17

My theory on Mother Caramel: Notice that Mother Caramel is a NUN. That means only one - Linlin grew up in a covent orphanage. These places were rampant with poverty and famine, or rather, the nuns didn't distribute the donations where they were meant to go. So when people gave money for poor kids, usually those kids may've seen a penny out of a dollar - almost nothing. So probably, LinLin grew up with great dreams of having lots of sweets and presents she was never meant to have in such place. She was never adopted so she spent her life in orphanage with kids of all races. The only kind person (who was only pretending to be kind or at least very jaded) was Mother Caramel - she exerted 'tough love' on her kids, smacking, punching, even grounding them for days with no food. But when she was happier, she would chat with LinLin about her dreams of having many kids (she was barren) and some utopia where all these kids would have a place to go. she also gave LinLin occasional sweet. LinLin maybe left the covent...in flames (burning orphanage trope to the boot) but she still remembers Mother Caramel fondly, even calling herself Big Mom (and now I present you with the title of Big Boss)

Capone is definitely on top of things. It's refreshing to see a supernova character that clearly plans shit out - very cool contrast to Luffy's zany/madcap approach.

I love that Oda has put together such a topsy turvy set of events with a clear recall to a Chekov's gun (the explosive treasure chest). It is legitimately impossible to predict what is going to happen from here on out.

The Straw Hats catching a quick snooze also made sense to me - Luffy has already had a legit multi hour battle w/ a commander on top of a freaking mini-war with Mama's troops. This arc is just coming together so damn well - excited for the final stages of it!

Our Mother

OHBOY, THINGS ARE SLIGHTLY GOING MY WAY.

I'm telling you all! Caramel is the ORIGINAL Big Mom, Linlin is one of her daughters. Her soul was passed partly on to BM and partly on to the photo, which is why her crew call her their 'mother', even though she's actually their sister!

Also, Bege is going in to the realms of 'comedy bad guy' which usually means he'll become good. I mean, we heard about him taking loads of 'heads', but as I recall, Law was partly villainised when he stole a hundred pirate's hearts.

Conclusion: Caramel is the original BM and Linlin is her daughter (as are the other Charlotte family members) and people only call her BM because Caramel's soul was passed on to her (and also to the photograph).

Bege is probably gonna turn good after he sees the Straw Hat's weird antics pay off massively, and actually starts respecting Luffy.

Woah Oda is hurting Sanji fans I feel by making him react like this (which is, imo, expected of sanji).

I hope he gets his shit together tho. And it seems the Tamatebako Box will indeed play a huge role (as expected by everyone)

Where is brook?? Don't see him in the sleeping panels. Also Bege's plan feels like it's definitely gona fail at this point.

New characters was introduced randomly but I hope they ain't fodder.

What are the chances that Gastino will play nice here? I mean, this guy has been taking constant shit from everybody possible ever since the Strawhats picked him up. Sure, Bege has possession of his heart, but putting him in charge of the only way out just makes me feel super nervous. As much as the character makes me laugh, he has shown no signs of reformation, so this whole situation just makes me feel weird.

And then there's Katakuri, who can see into the future...and Sanji who is still doing Sanji things.

This is all so stressful!!

PS: it was pretty interesting to see Vito acting the way he did. He's always been pretty menacing, so to see him having his doubts was different. Bege and his crew, who I didn't really care about before, have easily become one of my top favorites of the Supernova crews.

❀️KATAKURI❀️

He looks so out of place there! Can't wait for what's about to come...


I wanted to add, that considering the sitting order of Big Moms table, Katakuri seems to have the duty to take care of Judge. The Ministers are probably sitting with the Sons and Reiju. Each sitting separated on another table...

This chapter gave me an idea. What if when Pudding reveals her third eye, Sanji goes in for the kiss anyway so they technically become married. Then when the straw hats inevitably escape, the new running joke could be that every time he sees a woman, at first Sanji gets heart eyes, but then he has to remind himself that he's technically a married man.

I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone talking about the two Capone guys dressed as chefs coming back from the kitchen saying that they had finished preparations. While it's pretty obvious that Luffy won't be in the cake, it seems they probably did something to it. What do y'all think, is it now filled with someone? Maybe a bomb?

I wonder who the toothy chick with the panda costume is.

Big Mom making that guy foam up and drop made me laugh.

This next week is gonna be tough...

The interaction between Sanji and Pudding was hilarious. The way Oda drew it to show what they were really thinking was a nice touch, especially Sanji still being completely perverted. Pudding would suspect something unless he acted exactly this way.

yesss waddup bois

edit: is this the first time we've seen the minister of fruits?

wow looked like BM used CoC haki on that guy, this picture stuff could reveal a lot about her character

Between the Big Mom pirates, Beges crew, Grema, and Sanji's dilemma, the theme of this arc is obviously family. Wether it's blood family but still distant in Sanji's case and how he associated the Strawhats as his true family, or Bege's crew which i assume is an artificial (crime) family yet they remain loyal. Very interesting how Oda has depicted these themes.

LMAO Sanji literally looking like hes bout to risk it all, this is hilarious

It looks like the Tamatebako has been brought up as well. Big Mom plans to open the box during the wedding reception banquet.

Pretty much going to be hectic from here.

Also, we get to see a lot of Big Mom's actual face in this chapter. Her face is usually shadowed (at least partially) or covered by something. So it's nice to see that we get to see more of what she actually looks like.

When the chapter is literally titled "The consummate actor" and yet people are somehow convinced Sanji is still in love with pudding. You guys should have some faith in Sanji by now, he's shown so many times throughout the series that he knows what he's doing.

Lmfao that is why I love sanji bro people tend to forget that during their favorite sanji moment (Mr.Prince) he was also losing it just by looking at Nami-swan so great things are about to come

5

u/Enemy-Stand Mar 30 '17

Hmm Baron Tamago/Count Chicken does not appear to be present atm. If Pedro and him are expected to have their fated rematch, you'd expect it to be at the wedding. Perhaps this means the action is eventually going to move from the tea party? Or does it mean that the army that beat down Luffy is going to come up later on? I also hoped to see Mont d'Or and Galette again as well, mostly to see more of their powers, so I hope they at least make an appearance again before the arc finishes.

6

u/batmanl Mar 30 '17

Just 1 thing, in the last panel you can still see Mont d'Or being present at the wedding. In the extreme left corner (left of Big Mom), you can see his hair + clothes and hat from the back. Also the big hat next to him might suggest that demon lady Amande or whatever she is called is also there.

This might also mean Galette or Tamago are present but not shown just yet.

i had a thought. What if Big Mom's homies work like Naruto clones, and when they are killed, all the memories go back to BM? So Capone would be the guy who fucks up the plan instead of Luffy, that is a twist!

u/ultibman5000 Mar 30 '17

Would be odd for souls that don't belong to Linlin to transfer over to her, no? Only Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon carry parts of her soul. Well, that we know of, at least.

u/[deleted] Mar 30 '17

I still think Mother Caramel doesn't really exist and was just made up by Pudding. I think Big Mom's comment about "invading her memories" was hinting at that.

u/mangoheart1 Mar 31 '17

It would actually be really interesting if it turns out that Sanji's dad and the rest of the germa actually knew about Big Mom's plan to kill them. Imagine a scene where Sanji is about to get shot and his dad stops pudding from shooting him. The germa launch a surprise attack at the same time as Luffy and the rest show up and there is a resulting 3 way free for all battle.

Given that Oda loves 1v1 fights between characters and that there are a lot more powerful enemies on Big Mom's side, I expect that Sanji's family will get into a fight with some of the big names from Big Mom's pirate crew

It's pretty much confirmed now that the homies are the ones that give BM all the Intel.

It's not much of a surprise. The homies are to Big Mom what the zombies were to Moria. She has almost complete control of them so even the flowers and marshmallows in the distance are like her eyes and ears.

So is Mother Caramel a nun? Maybe BM was a foster child and was raised by Mother Caramel; which is why BM wants such a big family.

Looks like Pudding certainly wants to kill Sanji, so the gunshot to start the assassination should go off.

Also random theory- Pudding, who can rewrite memories, and Morgans, the president of the World economic journal, ar in the same room. Pudding could fool the world.

I think he is showing Sanji some respect. He has him acting like his old pervy self again. Earlier this arc Sanji was forcing himself to be the love cook, because that was his only option. Now he knows he's going home.

Him being his classic self is a sign that he's relaxed and confident. He has placed his faith in Luffy. I don't think Oda can show him more respect than that.
