#chapter 854

 Apparentally Nami and Jinbe had no time to discuss because BM’s soldiers are after them.  I don’t know why but it’s so cool that Jinbe trusts Nami’s powers so much that he askes her to take care of the chasing soldiers (I mean he could use his fishman karate). 

Poor Bropper got accidentally zapped by Nami because they appeared from Mirror World suddenly. Can’t still deny that her making Enel face is funny, oh these gags :’D Also, the links between Jinbe and Big Mom Pirates are starting to get opened. That roulette of life seems to be pretty dangerous and understandably it should be avoided. I guess Brulee is determinded to see that each of the whole retrieval team will get their spin but everyone ignores her and they keep on moving. 

Okay let me say this again, Brook is a badass. He managed to injure Prometheus and even Mama gives some respect to him ! (even though she treats him like a doll).  The afro skeleton still needs to be careful that no one opens up his skull because like guessed in the last review, if Brook found something before Mama rushed in he’d hide it there. Mama surely treasures Pudding at any costs and I’d really like to think that they are close to each other but it can also be that Mama really doesn’t care about udding at all and only wants to see her true form to be awaken. Actually I’m not sure whether this was already mentioned in last review but there is a theory in OJ that Pudding could be a sweet commander. That would at least explain the missing character box but still.. we ned more chapters for those speculations to be confirmed.

So their plan for the wedding is to cover Pudding’s face into a veil and after Sanji lifts it up and sees the third eye Pudding will start the chaos (btw that wedding dress reminds me too much of that what Nami wore in Thriller Bark) and if everything goes according to their plan, Vinsmokes will be wiped out from the entire planet. Momma is all hyped up because she wants the prizes of the arranged marriage, Germa technology but I’m not sure what’s going on in Pudding’s mind. Maybe she is not expressing her excitement as wide as her mother but could it still be that she has other plans? I mean people in OJ have been guessing whether Pudding will actually betray her own mother. One possibility is that she might have an alliance with Capone for reasons we don’t know yet. 

By the way, if we talk abot the shipping perspective, @sanjiaholic​ brought up a important thing here. Sanji is planned to get killed just the way Arlong killed Bellmere, a shot in the head. Quite interesting coincidence isn’t it? Nami already heard about the shooing but I’m not sure whether she got any other details but anyways, there are reasons for her reaction in chapter 850.  Even Arlongs line could be a parallel to the fact that Sanji has been ready to die for his crew and well might be afraid of death but still, so determinded. It’s indeniable that these two warm hearted characters have some things in common.

In meeting room there is discussion about the situation considering the retrieval team. Charlotte family is counting how many enemies they thought they have taken out. As seen there are some tensions between the brothers because of the spread rumors and Mon’d Or doesn’t trust Opera so he sends some soldiers to guard around and Opera is afraid to tell the truth because of the punishment. 

I wonder what is Reiju thinking. She is either seeing how Luffy wanders to the ‘’promised place’’ but on the other hand she is definitely worried about wedding. I don’t know could it be possible that she is planning to change her mind. Now that she is aware of what’ll happen in the weddng and she knows that in Sanji’s opinion it makes no sense to “fake the situation” (being “not aware” about what Pudding said and did) I wouldn’t cut off the possibility of her sacrificing herself for Sanji’s sake (making the move before Pudding) 

Sanji is alone again and got another painful reminder of his nakamas. I was kind of thinking that he could be already on his way but seems like he is stuck with worries, minding not to get killed. I don’t know if he did it already but at least now he acknowledges that he has made excactly a bento what he’d do for his crew mates. It seems like that despite knowing tha Pudding will shoot him the he decided to meet his faith and sacrifice his life (to get she headshot) It’s kind of crazy from Sanji but can we blame him because it’s his nature? he still wants to keep everyone safe and believes that this is “the only right thing to do”. I also wonder is this decision made also because he is ashamed to face Luffy and the other thinking that this is how “he’ll pay back his actions”? It will be anyways hard for him to face his crew again, this was a big mess after all.

Pudding’s words were like knives stabbing Sanji but I think seeing Bobbing trying to take the meat out of the bento was the final trigger. This is the second wake up call for Sanji because there is the flashback to chapter 844 and he sends the intruder flying with style and the meat stays unharmed. After Bobbins starts to question Sanji’s acts the Kuroashi  is finally on his way. 

To be honest I was kind of hyped up about the possibility that Nami and Jinbe would meet Sanji before Luffy but understandably captain meeting the cook first is better for the plot. Now we have to hope that both will make to the promised place safe and sound and I believe It’ll happen (Luffy getting captured again would be repeating and since the wedding is getting closer, I don’t think Oda would do that). So, RUN SANJI RUN !  

ps. the cover picture is so damn cool !
