The only way this could be more obvious is if Oda did a two page spread with nothing but that written on it. She's singing about making jam out of human blood and poo poo.

I will be significantly bummed out if she turns out to be moustache-twirlingly evil, she's got a good gimmick already with wanting to be a great patissier especially considering who she's to be wed to. If they came on board as a married couple that'd be rad.

Is she not complacent with her mother killing and possibly eating people?

Did you miss the panels where she sings about the ingredients and there's the fallen bodies of the people of those lands protecting it? Her candy utopia is literally built on the plundered resources of various islands. That's already pretty messed up in its own right. There's probably more on top of it, but the tip of the iceberg that's already shown is pretty large in its own right.

I'd be charitable in the utopian aspect though in that it's probably more of an egalitarian thing where she doesn't care about race, only about the best. (and if they taste great too, then double the value!)

Big Mam and her fairytale land is probably a shout out to Mother Goose with a touch of the witch from Hansel and Gretel.

That was taken for granted as garden-variety villainy. :v:

I'm talking about next-level poo poo like wanting to eat jam from human blood and cannibalism. That's kind of new in One Piece (not counting Wapol who did it for comedic effect).

Big Mom definitely has to have a weird devil fruit power of some kind. Maybe she eats people then reincarnates them as singing inanimate objects through her powers? Either way, Big Mom is confirmed for next arc villain and will be coming up really super quickly.

I really don't think Pudding is going to be evil. She's probably aware that her mother does bad things but is sheltered from the worst of it, like all fictional mob daughters.

I once hated One Piece too. Back when the Alabasta arc ended, I got really annoyed thinking that Oda would never cash in on all the stuff he set up. There was no way..we were never going to get anywhere, it was just going to spin on its wheels forever. I was wrong.

A small part of me hopes this ends up like that one episode of courage the cowardly dog where the villains weren't actually eating people but making hamburgers that looked like customers. I know is probably not gonna happen but I think it'd be a neat twist that big mom isn't actually eating anybody.

It's that or her crew and citizens are actually evil and totally down with cannibalism

Every arc must have it's Enel Face. Plus Nami's here to figure out that Luffy is naturally immune to her eating power, because you can't digest gum*.

*this is a truth in fiction.

The only one's singing about the positives of cannibalism are her hosed up Toontown and her freaking band.

She's been shown eating people before and they were singing about jam made of human blood. I'd say her making people into food is fairly likely.

Oh Big Mam tots eats people, I'm not debating that, just that from what I read in the chapter all I saw was people in different food lands being murdered for their produce. The jam being made from human blood thing could also just be code for "Big Mam is really loving metal and this is going to get ugly" too.

That's how I read it. They were singing in a Q&A style and Big Mom's answer was basically "I don't care what the jam is, just loving get it so we can have a tea party from hell" :black101: All the other ingredients were definitely pillaged from those various places.

The first sight of Nami you get in this chapter has perfect placement in a browser window because her feet are just out of view so you naturally look left to see her ask where Brook is. Then you scroll down a bit and there he was all along just chilling with a cup of coffee and taking in the view. But he doesn't have any eyes! :yohoho:

Speaking of that scene and forcing people to go back and read the chapter for a panel, I cannot wait for them to fight the swordswomen with the worlds longest sun hat

I just realized that Luffy and Chopper are probably only wearing turbans on top of their hats because they thought it looked cool on the cop guy who was yelling at them for eating the cafe.

Though the swordswoman with the giant brimmed sun hat seems to imply Smoker and Tashigi are gonna show up at some point in this arc.

Is Big Mom the first pirate to wear a literal pirate hat with a skull and crossbones on it?

Pudding is definitely tricking the Strawhats, whether the entire wedding is a ploy cooked up by Germa 66 and Big Mom remains to be seen. It's possible she plans to crush the SHs and Germa just wants Sanji back or spared. Or maybe, since Sanji is definitely leaving with the SHs, Germa is in on it so much they don't even care if he dies, and they're just looking for the relationship with Big Mom. Big Mom already knows Luffy has arrived, so someone is tipping her off, likely Pudding.

I love that we didn't get a nameplate for Pudding, because she's not giving her real name. A clever play on Oda's own style of introducing characters. She'll probably get one when the wool is pulled. Very self-aware, interesting, and funny chapter. Oda does it again?

I'm actually betting the little Jello dude is the informant. Dude has a little mobster fedora and everything. He is definitely Pudding's watcher or something.

Lets be honest, other than Robin the Strawhats are pretty much incapable of not making a scene. Plus they've got walking skeleton Brook and Luffy, who will tell anyone who asks not only his name but his goal in life, walking around. Also Luffy and Chopper just ate a damned cafe.

So between that, various warning systems, and Sanji's family, it'd be way more surprising if Big Mom didn't know they were here.

Besides, I'm now invested in Pudding and Sanji's sham relationship and want them to get married and cook all the food that Luff and the crew could eat. Only not have Sanji be a subordinate of Big Mom via marriage. Maybe they can be engaged until Luffy becomes the Pirate King and they have a lovely wedding in the Baratie while it floats in All Blue. Pudding gave Luffy food, so we know that he'll destroy anything that fucks with her from this point onward.

Yeah, I really like this land that the crew has set foot on.

There's just so much going on.

I loved Dresserosa but the novelty of toys sorta fell flat because only one really mattered, and most of the island's unique points were pushed aside for the Colo and the Doflamingo reveal. It was more about the darkness hiding under the country that the island's unique points, which were more an aspect of Doffy's regime than King Riku's regime, I felt.
