Really the more interesting thing is why Reiji didn't say a single thing that entire conversation. She's up to something.

I think the only thing she's up to is not giving someone like Pudding the satisfaction of reacting to her performance.

Give me your friend's BURGERS and SANDWICHES, I'll put out the fire.

So is Nitro binding Reiji's legs or putting pressure on her wound so she doesn't bleed out? I'm curious because no one in One Piece has ever been in danger of bleeding out like that but those are powerful bullets

Jimbei apparently also didn't leave the island and wasn't a known hostile or outsider to Big Mom's crew, so he appears to have left on amicable terms as promised.

For now, anyway.

actually it seems a few of us misread this. i looked back on 834 and it turns out he backed down on leaving big mom's crew.

I went back to 834 to see what you were talking about and come on. You really think the gossip mongering was based on some irrefutable fact? It wouldn't just be 'Yo I heard karate fishman wussed out uncharacteristically' if that was the case.

I mean when has a newspaper in One Piece ever been telling the truth so far?

Jimbei is amazing and will be the ultimate straight man to Luffy's madness and i've been waiting for this moment forever and gently caress you and-

just kidding, you guys are all cool broppers. This entire arc is amazing.

Let's be real here, Pudding has no respect for Enel Face. Consequentially I don't see how anyone can maintain any respect for her. Looking forward to Sanji's sister going full Moe Howard on her three eyed rear end.

lola was probably the favorite while pudding was babied her entire life. pudding hates that so she altered big moms memory to make her the favorite instead of lola. something along those lines (maybe pudding IS the favorite, but big mom didnt care about lola, but pudding wanted to be free like lola).

puddings still evil tho.

Actually now that we know what her fruit power is, she could be remembering back to when she went against Big Mom. The flashback is triggered by another lady telling her to do as Big Mom wants, which segues into Big Mom telling Pudding to simply do as she is told and referring to Pudding as a little doll. Remember that Lola asks everyone to marry her, but we recently found out that she ran away from a marriage. Also Lola remembers her mom loving her and thinks that she'd help the Strawhats if they ever met. Meanwhile Big Mom hates Lola and wants to know where she is so that she can send an assassin.

Big Mom and Lola were very close and Big Mom arranged a marriage for Lola. Pudding was jealous/conniving/just plain evil enough to use her powers to change that all up. Lola thinks she wanted to find her own man, despite proposing to every single man she ever meets later on. Meanwhile Big Mom seems to have an unreasonable amount of anger directed towards Lola,who still remembers her loving mother.

Pudding Aizend this whole situation.

Edit: Point in favor of this all being a reverse Aizen by Nitro or someone else: When Pudding is crying after leaving Luffy and Nami in the book prison tears are only coming from her two non-third eyes. There's still a reverse triple bluff counter swerve out if you want to hold onto silver linings. I mean, if you're down with crazy chicks who break your boy's heart. Real messed up you don't have Sanji's back, man.

They actually let him keep it.
Why are they interrogating Nami when they can just pull her memory out and take a peek?

If someone says it one more time I'm having Florina show up as a corpse. I'm not even kidding, I was pissed off with people doing that shit back in 2010, and I'm not dealing with it now in 2016.
It's also likely that Puddings fruit ability is purposefully kept secret. After all, how good an actor can you be if everyone knows you can manipulate memories?

Aizen from Bleach has a sword that rewrites memories and poo poo. For most of his tenure as a villain he does the "~I'm a mastermind schemer guy look at me fart around deceiving everyone~" thing by loving with people's perceptions of reality.
