This is the first arc where the Strawhats will get two new members.

Jinbei and Pudding will be great additions.

To be fair, what was the last arc that didn't end with Luffy kicking the Big Bad's rear end? It's kind of a tradition at this point.

Big Mom is gonna pass out after eating Sanji's cake. At this point she will be indistinguishable from any other big bad that Luffy punched into unconsciousness.

So Big Mom is basically the Juggernaut now. Cool.

Also I love what Oda did with Pudding in the end. Makes all the flip flopping from the last few chapters worth it.

Yeah, Jinbei has pretty much been part of the team since Fishman Island, only difference is now it's official (kind of like how Nami and Robin traveled with the crew for a bit before formally joining up following the Arlong Park and Enies Lobby arcs respectively). Jinbe hadn't been traveling with them of course but an offer was at least made.

Chapter thoughts: Brook is still killing it, tsundere Pudding is great, and in retrospect having Sanji resolve this arc by cooking is the only way this could have gone down. This arc is so loving good.

Yeah, it's pretty much the ideal conclusion to the Rehabilitation of the Character of Sanji.

I feel like this arc (along with the brief Zou arc) is the most "One Piece" that the manga has been since the time skip.

Okay, so I've been mad about Pudding since Sanji saw her third eye (and I still think that bit is loving dumb and annoying as hell) but it was worth it for this chapter. This was by far the best chapter in a long time.

Or if Luffy KO's her right as Sanji is about to feed the cake to her. Then everyone parties and eats the wedding cake as Sanji and Purin get married for real.

Not sure why there wouldn't be a fight to be honest as Luffy did promise to kick her rear end so he could liberate Fishman Island a while back (plus, she did try to have Pudding kill Sanji after all and we know how Luffy usually gets when someone messes with his crew). Also, she's clearly one of the main focuses of this arc so no time like the present right?

Lufffy has promised to never run away again, so it's pretty clear here: Luffy is going to fight big mother for 17 straight chapters before brutally killing her to save his allies from her ultimate move: the mother's cage.

Who would smoke weed in One Piece? posted:

Although it will never happen, i think it would be funny to imagine who in One Piece would partake in the sweet leaf and how they would act. Considering how goofy some of the characters are, i think there would be a lot of funny moments.

Zoro- He may do it to relax for his naps. He might be a vulture though, always sneaking up on whoever had it and "cut" into the rotation. Only problem is Zoro already has a bad sense of direction, he might get lost forever.

Sanji- He already smokes like a chimney, this would just be "green tobacco" to him, plus he can cook up some great munchy food.

Luffy- I think he would try it, but i think the crew would stop him from doing it too much, Sanji has to cook a ton of food anyway and if Luffy had the munchies, imagine how much food he would eat then! Having rubber lungs means that Luffy can take monsterous hits.

Chopper- Hey, it has it medical uses too.

Franky- Not sure, he runs off cola, but man could he build some awesome stuff to smoke it out of.

Brooke- He's a musican, it's almost required. Even with no lungs, i think he would still enjoy it.

Nami-Maybe once in awhile by herself.

Usopp-Totally. "This one time, i defeated like a whole army of marines with just one shot." He's already a pacifist, this would just reinforce it.

Robin- Nah, she's a smart girl, but i think she would find it funny.

Smoker- Obviously. The only guy who could use it to his advantage. You think those are cigars?

Ace- More then likely, he would never need a lighter.

Admiral Kizaru- He talks real slow as it is, seems he already does it.

Trafalgar Law- Dude looks stoned anyways " hey man, i need a talking kung-fu bear in my crew..."

Pappug- He's already wearing the hat for it. Hooking the Strawhats up with the "seaWeed".

That's all i can think of for the moment. So have a laugh and share your thoughts on who would smoke and what funny moments may come from it. Oh, and if anyone can make any photoshoped pictures of characters doing it, i would love to see them.
