Pretty much that. Sanji even says he is gonna make a cake that will knock her down.
All he has to do is put a df inside it. Problem solved

I consider Whole cake to be mostly fine and the chase has not been going that long. I'm not a fan that we seem to be at beginning of a climax once again but it's not awful either. Oda is abusing his facepalm faces now
This arc has been terrible so far, Zou was good but this one could be worse than Dressrosa which is quite a feat. One Piece has been going downhill for the last seven years or so.

Where he is gonna find one?

You can't prove that though.

it will clearly be the Yuki Yuki fruit Sanji has pulled out of his ass.
Reading some of the comments around here makes me think that some guys need some cake to chill too.
i think everything around pudding would be perceived better if it was not completely half-assed by oda in the first place
her "heel turn" was completely nonsensical and just done for drama's sake without really any repercussion since in the end she turned good again…
also her infatution with sanji is a joke because of how it happened..for her sanji was a low life idiot until....he made a compliment to her eye and now she is madly in love with him...not because he liked his kindness,or because sanji's personality conquered her (like it happened with luffy and hancock), but because of a shallow compliment from a guy that likes every attractive woman in the world without distinctions...it's not like it's the one girl that manages to lock him up..the guy had a quasi-relationship with viola just last arc...
or maybe this arc is really flawed and we expect more from oda.
Well she did witness the whole part of the wedding…she still tried to kill him immediately afterwards...probably saw he wasn't as a lovesick loser as she thought

Then you should drop it.
I never took violet as really being in love with sanji afterwards, it was just his conviction motivated her to act and she felt warm about him but not in a love type way, she reacted the same to usopp sniping sugar
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Yeah I really don't like this. He doesn't even have to hate her, but don't be all "in love" with her after what she did. Even the rest of the crew don't seem all that angry with her, she betrayed them and then when they were captured went on insulting Sanji and how she was going to kill him. Yet their reaction to her feels so weak and they immediately accept her help again, as if she can't possibly try to betray them again.
He was a lot worse in regards to every other sexy female before, his reactions compared to now are heavily dialed back
I forgot about her reaction to Usopp shooting Sugar. I need to look at that again. I also ignored Sanji's reaction, I don't expect a deep connection when it comes to romance.
Maybe opinion would be more positive if we didn't have that period of 2 breaks in 3 weeks? Idk. In contrast to scenes like running from Shinokuni and storming the Dressrosa palace, this little chase has been extremely short. The Straw Hats and Mom are almost definitely getting to the Sunny next chapter, and the cake baking is in full swing.
And I don't particularly understand the complaints about the cake baking when it's only just started. You can't call something boring if this is all you have to go on. And you don't know how Big Mom is gonna react to it at all. So please, don't whine about the arc's ending until, y'know, it's actually ending.
I mean it wasn't Oda that said it. Even if he directly did, these things are loose estimates, not exact dates. He said "a crewmember would die" at Jump Festa years before the one that would(Going Merry).
Going by the fact that they're doing Wano-celebration stuff in Japan around October/November could indicate it'll be around then that we get to Wano. However, I honestly think it'll be right at the end of the year.
I could also see this arc ending, the crew arriving at Wano in late October/November, only to cut to the Reverie as the Strawhat's arrive at Wano. We'll likely be shown it with Vivi being the main "protagonist" and I honestly don't see it being more than 4 or 5 chapters max. So I do think it's likely that we'll "get to Wano" only to cut to the Reverie for a month and a half or so.
We might get a flash to it like how we saw zou in 795 but for a few chapters

No monster Chopper? I rate 1/10!
Nah. I suppose it wouldn't be good for the boat. But still… Monster Chopper!
I know you're joking but monster point still has a time limit and would make him a big liability if they didn't get saved in 3 or so minutes.
So chopper not using it is smart
Where he is gonna find one?
.
There are enough fruit users out there, they just need to capture and hide one of them in the cake.
This was a fun chapter.
Also I don't know if nayone mentioned it but some of the perspectives in this chapter were great
I especially like how oda drew the cooking trio on the carpet and flowed into the scene on the sunny.
This whole chase scene hasn't lacked some of the missing scenes that the wedding did
I'm glad we got that organic feel back
Would you agree with that part at least Daz?
I feel his storyboarding has been better since then

Also I need the count's opinions here lol

I don't think this was that bad? Not the best chapter, but I was pretty entertained so. . .there's that?
I don't think Big Mom's pursuit of the SH's is as tedious as, say, the two Shinokuni scenarios from Punk Hazard, mainly because we've had variety during said pursuit (and the art during the cool moments has been pretty fantastic: The two Nation's Might attacks, Prometheus falling on King Baum, Nami using Zeus, Big Mom chomping her way out of the ground. . .) instead of just different ways of running from the gas. If anything, I'm more reminded of Impel Down's ending with everyone running away from Magellan (though that had a better execution, maybe, true. . .but still a lot of corner cutting and shortened fights).
The cake theory was cool to me, so it getting center stage is something I wanted to see. Now comes the moment of truth: to make it exciting. If you wanna fear something, fear Oda corner cutting (or even OFFPANELING) that. Now that would be a tragedy. And this is something I am fearing right now and I think has a very, very, very real chance of happening. I'd really, really want Oda to commit to this scenario.
And the elephant in the room, Pudding's tsundere/bad acting/not-coping-with-her-feelings/wathever explanation we get. . .while uber childish and even uber stupid, it got a laugh out of me, specially when she realized Sanji was on board the magic carpet. That was genuinely funny, and honestly? He character could've been 10 times better written overall (right now it's kind of a mess), but just her collection of facefaults here and during chapter 850 (or was it 851?) when she was mocking Sanji make her a more memorable character than Mansherry, Rebecca and Violet put together.
Now, if this characteristic of hers is abused like Sanji's infamous nosebleeds during FI and doesn't go anywhere, yeah, bad move, honestly bad move. But if this gets a resolution, and she somehow evolves? I'm honestly all for it.
Soooo. . .I don't know. I get the pessimism around here, but considering I don't even hate Dressrosa, Zou was pretty decent, I like Punk Hazard, and I've actually been enjoying Whole Cake since the beginning, even with its rough edges, probably best Post ts stuff so far. . .well, maybe my opinion doesn't quite matter here?
I really like chaotic Pudding, this avoids the two typical archetypes people have pushing her into, while making her actions a bit unpredictable even if we know her motives.
I find it really weird that people are complaining right now, when this chapter was nothing but an establishment for the climax (baking a cake).
Well, I can understand why some people might be disappointed that there's very little progression this chapter, even if I disagree, this is at least related to the content of the chapter.
But why are some people complaining about Sanji baking a cake? They say that it feels anticlimactic and that they wanted him to have at least one fight.
But why do they think it's anticlimactic when it didn't happen yet? I mean, Oda himself previously said that he draws whatever he thinks a typical reader would find enjoyable. And I'm pretty sure he knows that a cooking chapter wouldn't work if it played out like your typical cooking. Do people really expect the climax to be Sanji listing the ingredients and then start cooking? Of course not!
I don't even entirely know how the process of Sanji baking a cake will be, but from my understanding of how this manga was in the past, the baking won't be as simple as some people think, and Oda will surely try to make it exciting.
One Piece isn't the manga known for anticlimactic endings, so please stop reaching to conclusions already.

Well said
Pudding was forced to toughen up and were a mask of hostility to avoid abuse and was effected by it even to this day, sanji gave her a compliment she froze because she couldn't process it and then she tried firing at him anyway because she was conflicted and still had a job to do, then she saw more of the good parts of sanji instead of some dopey ero-cook. Right now she is attracted to him a lot but still conmflicted because of her allegiance to the big mom pirates and the fact she's been playing her asshole role for so long. It's played for laughs yeah but at least makes sense and there's room for character development at the end.

I do admit that I found the faces funny. I just forgot in the moment. I do like the arc. Luffy getting captured and then having to escape makes logical sense and shows us how much he still has to grow.
@Master:
Good thing a lot of people are realizing how One Piece is turning sh*t!
Am a big fan of the series but lately everything has been so poor!Big mom crew looks like fodder or they all look like kids playing with strawhats. Katakuri waiting there chilling around made me rofl. Badass definitely LOL.
Come on ODA just wrap this sh*t up already.
You do realise everyone was defeated and due the plot device planted since fishman island they were able to start to escape.?
Where is this fodder?
Mr. Jump: "Oda what's going on with this arc?"
Oda: "Mr. Jump sir…..I am concocting great things...All I need is..."
Mr. Jump: "Another break? Nah, not gonna fall for that one again. My boys told the public that this arc would get exciting too."
Oda: "I'm having trouble, trying to make Big Mom look fierce and competent yet at the same time trying to make the SH's survive it."
Mr. Jump: "I can see that. Should of just went with my original suggestion and make this a clear sneak operation without encountering the Yonkou."
Oda"...Hindsight is 20/20 sir...But I think I got an ace up my sleeve...that will change the tide...One of Big Mom's closest will betray her....!"
Mr. Jump: "Ah...So, finally Smoothie is going to do something! This is a GAME CHANGER....She's the "never saw me coming" type eh Eiichiro-san? This type of stuff put Kubo on the map!"
Oda: " Who...? I don't drink smoothies, but I was speaking of Zeus....
Mr. Jump: "WHAT'S THAT?!"
Oda: "Yes, He likes these little balls that Nami makes you see..."
Mr. Jump: "Enough I got a conference meeting, listen, just rush things and make the transition smooth. At least we can bow out gracefully without Sanji baking that cake."
Oda: "....But didn't you get my drafts I sent earlier throughout the week? Pudding picks up Sanji....
Mr. Jump: CLICK!
Not the best way to handle things in my opinion; Sanji not helping Brook and Chopper (I would have understood if it were Zoro and Brook fighting) while Katakuri and Perospero are on the ship (which I guess he can detect easily with his CoO) is definitely not the best scenario. Why, I'd ask, include Katakuri and make him be there if he isn't even doing anything? He probably won't even get to fight.
I get that trust in the crew is important, but this time it seems cheap. It's as if he tells to himself: "Oh well, Brook and Chopper are SH, right? No need to worry, they can't die". Just one arc ago he was willing to die to help his crew against a weaker opponent.
Of course getting BM to calm down is important, but look: even if Big Mom is calm, it won't be of much use if your crew gets killed by Katakuri.
Although it is true that Luffy and the others are coming for back-up and should be there in an instant, so maybe his train of thought goes something like: "The others will come soon enough?".
I hope the cake preparation will turn out somehow intense.
Apart from that, the rest of the chapter is pretty cool. I don't find Pudding's behavior that annoying, I mean we're pretty used to recurrent gags in One Piece. Oda manages to make the crew run without it looking like a drag and he restrains Katakuri's abilities by making him not do anything. Big Mom gets hyped the way she deserves and all.
Didn't threads use to be more active?
Greg spoiled the plot, chap was okay, Screwtape's rant was meh. Mh.
Only question I have is, how do you bake a cake that is as big as a mountain in such a short time?

Sanji did seem to be pretty torn when he saw the fighting on the Sunny. But he knows that his crewmates should be able to get there pretty quickly, AND he knows that this mission is the only way to achieve a long-term solution to the biggest problem they have. Earlier in the arc, he was rendered completely ineffective because he couldn't put any trust in his crewmates and decided to fight every battle on his own, which led to dozens of people complaining on chapter threads every week. So this moment where he was able to let his crewmates take care of things while he's dealing with something else is actually quite good for his character arc.

One thing I'm not sure has come up yet at least for this chapter in particular, if that Sanji's development is progressing much like Usopp's in Enies Lobby. Fighting a battle isn't what will prove Sanji's worth, it's serving his crew by fulfilling his role and doing something none of his crewmates could. It's why the "bake a cake" scenario was so predictable. Sanji will save the day be doing something that he, and he alone, can do.
The main problem of the whole arc is that the heroes ended up facing opponents that were way too strong for them. All the flaws we can point out are a direct consequence of this.
It would have been so much simpler – and I'm not implying I would have done it better than the author -- to make this a shorter, infiltration arc. You could keep cool ideas like the Seducing Woods, but not make Luffy face Cracker. You could keep Pudding and her twist, but not make her switch back again and make her fly across the sea to prepare a cake.
For example, you could use the Chocolate Town as a mistake Luffy made. Pudding's suspicions rise, and as she sends pirates after the SH, her true identity is revealed: instead of making her make the mistake of revealing her true self.
Make Sanji attend the ceremony while developing the whole Capone conspiracy, and then make everything go down as no one seems to understand what's going on (by everything, I mean the pirates trying to kill GERMA, the SH freeing Sanji and Capone making blood rain). Capone could be use as a way for the GERMA to escape. Maybe Sanji could save them, to cut the ties.
Then you wouldn't have to draw all these fights and face the problem of having too strong characters. Because as things would take time to develop, it would all be resolved in a glimpse.
This arc definitely had potential, and it definitely isn't "bad". Even though mistakes were made, I see it as a way of making better things in the future.

I'd tend to agree with you, as this clearly states that Sanji as a character has evolved in a way.
However, I cannot accept that any crew member would leave fighters such as Brook and Chopper to face a Sweet Commander, Perospero and tons of guards on their own. The bullet Katakuri sent at Sanji during the ceremony was a deadly one. Sanji should know that Chopper, for instance, wouldn't, considering his situation and his overall strength, be able to dodge it – or would have few chances. So, this is a permanent death threat.
The reason they're alive by now is solely because Katakuri isn't doing anything.

You are absolutely right on that, and the comparison with Usopp is relevant. However, I still consider a normal Sanji would do something to save his friends. At least buy time for Luffy and the others to come.

OK, let's say Sanji went down to help Brook and Chopper. If Katakuri or Perospero managed to trap him, then he'd be less likely to get back on track to cake baking. The longer it takes for him to make a cake, the longer Big Mom will be rampaging and the more likely that all of this crewmates will die. Sanji has often shown a knack for thinking and acting with the long term goal in mind, such as the times he split up from the crew in Little Garden and Water 7, even though the crew was in danger both times. He left them to do what they needed to do, and pursued something productive that he had thought of doing.
If Sanji didn't have anything bigger on his plate and everyone else was further away, he would definitely head for the Sunny, just like he did in Dressrosa. But now he's taken the steps to know that he can't always be the one to save the day.
Well this is an interesting development. It seems that Sanji will help bake a cake, one that'll KO Big Mom at that. I didn't exactly disapprove of the cake theory, I was just pondering if Sanji would have any part in it. Now I can lay that thought to rest for good.
As for Pudding suddenly turning tsundere, I guess her acting is flawed.
Also, Big Mom turns into Ms. Pac-Man while eating the ground.
Bye.

You are right, but this turn of events where Brook and Chopper survive only because Katakuri, besides getting on the boat pretty damn quickly, decides not to attack them, could and should (imo) have been avoided.

I'm pretty sure he didn't know neither about the crew's troubles in LG nor about the benefits of his little trip and tea time. It was just pure luck. You're right about Water 7 though.
Man, gotta love this place. I go from the subreddit where everyone is having a blast cracking jokes and excitedly breaking down what parts of the chapter they enjoyed - then come here and it's the usual doom and gloom. "I dread reading this", "Pudding ruins everything", "the problems with this arc…"

Sincere question, which subreddit? Just r/OnePiece?
I feel like /r/OnePiece jokes around too much for my liking.

Talking flour, talking eggs, talking milk, anything else I'm missing?

Sanji does need a big oven, and he's quite literally a walking sun.
This might work out, provided he doesn't turn the cake into giant charcoal.:ninja:
There can be 2 sides in a character's personality.
And she fell in love like during her introduction, it doesn't count. It's like saying Luffy wanted to be pirate king at the end of RomanceDawn, but only wanted to be a simple pirate at the very beginning so I guess he went through some character arc.
There can be 2 sides to a character's personality. I disagree that that's what was going on in this case, due to her initial treatment of Luffy. I find Amazon Empress Hancock and Love-Stricken Hancock very different, and the latter is what she mostly is right now. It does count, it's a character changing.
My mistake was to forget that this was a desperate situation either way.

Yeah, again, Sanji wouldn't be able to get to the ship much sooner than the rest of the crew anyways.
The people whining about cooking should go check out Shokugeki no Soma.
Also Pudding is a delight.

Agreed, surprised you never got a Pudding ava.
When I read it first I thought BM was eating the ground to get out of the whole. Only now I noticed she breaking it apart by simply forcing it with the pressure of her body. I like it even better now.

The subreddit is not really all that critical, and too much like any other animu forum for my taste.
Though at least it doesn't have the wannabe-critics like the people in this sub-section.
The people whining about cooking should go check out Shokugeki no Soma.
Okay, time to talk about the unavoidable Shokugeki no Soma-like scene which will occur as soon as Linlin eats her cake.
The main problem coming together with the cake theory is that its resolution will high likely make lots of its readers blind (excluding me cuz I actually find her somewhat hot and cute).
So how is Oda gonna handle this scene? Will he make her feel 20 or 40 years younger so that we see a younger Linlin exposing herself to the sheer awesomeness of the cake?
But why is Katakuri pretending to be Smoothie and doing shit?
The chess soldiers are just homies (and that's why they are particularly weak against Brook). There are like endless amounts of those guys, Katakuri probably just doesn't care. I like the fact he is even leaning back on the wall…
As far as he knows all the other SH were killed by BM, so he is just watching Brook and Chopper fight against made alive objects until they tire out and stop their futile struggling. He and Perospero already said last chapter they have no interest in killing those two, they can just leave.
How he didn't realize Luffy is alive, though, is a mystery. Even without his ability to see future, his CoO isn't supposed to be ridiculously developed?

The chess soldiers are just homies (and that's why they are particularly weak against Brook). There are like endless amounts of those guys, Katakuri probably just doesn't care. I like the fact he is even leaning back on the wall…

That's what I'm wondering. So far Perospero's done most of the talking while Kata's had ellipses in his speech bubbles. I wonder if he's planning something…
For haki, it could be a matter of range. Eneru had crazy range, but that was amplified by his devil fruit.
Agreed, surprised you never got a Pudding ava.
I would, but I don't want anyone on this site knowing I read One Piece, that'd be weird what am I a weeb.
