@Count:
Reiju's not getting convinced anytime soon. She needs an Enies Lobby "I WANNA LIVE" moment to get that mentality. Which can only be done at the wedding at this point. And they're not taking her by force. I also don't see why Judge, assuming he would even be convinced, would to start a riot rather than just get out of dodge. He should know he's no match for an Emperor, even with the chaos going on.
Robin didn't want to die(she wanted to save the first person she cared for) Reiju does. She wouldn't cower in front of death but accept it as a gift. The resolution should be different. I know Oda loves Ennias Lobby plot and recycle(hence how shitty Marine Ford was) but I hope he won't fall for the reccycling again.
It is the perfect opportunity to escape right now, you're right. But they're not leaving Reiju.
You expect reiju to suddenly change her opinion about dying at the wedding? I imagine something like Luffy burst in there and tell Sanji they have to go. Reiju looks at him and says Luffy is right and then we an exchange like "I can't go if you stay behind""Even if I were go what would I do?""I know an old pirate/some old man who did some aweful and knows how to treat a young woman/ someone who feel lost"
Who said they had to stay in the Mirror World for that long? They can be as ready as they want, Jimbei can also offer infos to have a plan still work. And Big Mom's forces are going to be weakened with Cracker (and potentially Smoothie for all we know) out of the picture and children like Opera taken out.
And Luffy is missing half his crew. Taking Smoothie out would only reinforce Big Mom's anger(remeber how she was pissed for Tomago or Cracker) and reinforce the security at the wedding.
True. But Brook acknowledged that it would be impossible for whole crew to successfully get into Totland publicly. I doubt that getting out with their presence known will be that much easier.
When did I ever say that Sanji won't feed Luffy soon? And considering how Germa 66 is being abused by the Vinsmokes and doesn't know they're clones, it's highly probable for Reiju to take over as the new leader for their sakes.
Your idea is that at the wedding Big Mom forces duked it out with strawhats forces, then somehow Reiju wants an "I wanna live" moment but at the same time they end in good terms despite not getting the total control of her technology, having another marriage ruined and Brook making a copy of her most precious stone. I find it really unlikely at this point.
Oda's not going to skip out on this wedding after all of this buildup for that and Bege's coup (which Pudding could be a part of for all we know). Not to mention that the Straw Hats would still be on bad terms with Big Mom and get chased by her like in Dressrosa, which is tension that really doesn't need to outstay its welcome since the real built-up irredeemable Emperor threat is Kaido. AND Fishman Island would still be in trouble due to Jimbei openly rebelling against Big Mom. The Straw Hats can't retreat.
You just get disappointed by Oda with Big Mom. Oda doesn't stop his climaxes. He can stretched them but once it has started it doesn't just take a break.

@HacheBe:
Yes i do considering that her choice is death. She doesn't want to die she is accepting that the only way that Sanji gets away is through her death. Basically she thinks the only way he gets away is before the wedding but if Sanji trusts Luffy to save them both DURING the wedding then that is what he is gonna do. Which considering the lack of faith that Sanji has showed in Luffy this arc it wouldn't be that surprising if there was line where Sanji says "don't worry. Luffy will be there". In that case Reiju's death means nothing unless she sacrifices herself to save Sanji in the scuffle but its not guaranteed like it would be if Sanji left rn. Its kinda like Jinbei in Marineford. She can't do anything about it if Sanji just says no
She seems to believe that she deserves death for all the stuff her family has done so she would probably just stay behind in the event there's a giant battle to get Sanji out of the wedding.
