So how do you guys feel about about a repeat of a starving enemy plot line? Seeing Big Mom with her stomach literally shrinking and growling is leading me to believe that she would actually suffer from real starvation if she doesn't get the cake. I know she tried to eat the giant peanut on Nuts Island but she thought it was the wedding cake. Maybe her one track mind won't allow her to consume anything else until the right food is given.
Judging by Perosperos' reaction he has never seen his mother get thinner from not eating and in all their years this could be something that has never been an issue.
So far the making and protecting of the cake has been too easy to me. When I think about it, both the Straw Hats/allies and the enemies want Linlin to get the cake. Of course the enemy is trying to destroy the the Straw Hats all the while but even though you have guys like Oven making conditions worse for the cake, for the most part everyone wants the cake to make it to Mama. I don't think thats going to work for the narrative.
I'm imagining in the next few chapters Big Mom starts to collapse and look like Luffy when he has no food for long periods. You know, all shriveled up and stuff. Some Straw Hats, allies and maybe even some Charlotte children would be all for letting her die but knowing Sanji and how strongly he upholds Zeff's ideals, how could he let such a thing happen?
This would bring one of those outrageous dilemmas where Luffy lets Sanji take the lead and the consequences be damned. I really want this to happen especially since we were given the whole plan out loud, something needs to go wrong with some zanny twist.
Also as silly and gaggy as it is seems we may learn something about Luffy and Linlin's digestion system. In this arc alone we've had 2 characters comment on how inhuman Luffy's body works when he digests food. Some in silly situations but then look how Nami comments on Luffy's fatness disappearing right before her eyes after the defeat of cracker. As silly as it was back on Whiskey Peak there could actually be some real plot points buried in there.
Onemoment brought this to my attention.
Great idea! It would be as OP as it gets and would be a fitting end for a Sanji-centric arc. But if you start wondering, who would the "enemy" even be? Luffy will trust Sanji, the rest of the crew (including Jinbe) will trust Luffy who trusts Sanji, Sun Pirates will trust Jinbe who trusts Luffy who trusts Sanji, Katakuri is way too loyal to BM, and none of the other higher ups ever expressed any disgust with their mother. So we're pretty much left with Bege&Chiffon (and even she may trust Nami who trusts Luffy who trusts Sanji), Gastino who will probably be too cowardly to intervene, and… Germa and Pudding! It would be the perfect chance to actually make the 4 brothers confrontation (especially that Sanji never landed a successful hit on Ichiji). Pudding would also get a nice conclusion to her character arc by refusing her chance for the revenge.
EDIT: Damn it, you just made me have expectations for OP. Last time it ended well was the war arc.
