Reiju could be playing the longest game of them all. And this whole chapter is just her emotionally manipulating Sanji out of her 20 year long plan to crush his spirit once and for all. Year of Sanji Part 2!

Well sanji was going to visit Pudding to give her food, and the door was a homie. I would be really surprised if the door homie stayed quiet about it.
And it's really strange to me that Pudding brought Reiju to her room that made it easier watching her.
I agree it's not credible right now, but Oda pulled bigger twists than this.

The door didn't know that Sanji was going to go around towards the balcony. And even if it did, they wouldn't have been able to know how long it would take Sanji, or when he would be in earshot of them.
I assume that Pudding took Reiju to her room because it was the most convenient private place to handle things, without having to worry about other people coming and going, or wondering what she was doing in there (since it's her private room).
(And from an out of universe perspective, Oda needed a convenient way for Sanji to overhear what she was saying)
Yeah, should be it, i think i am overthinking.
This chapter is a lot better seeing how the spoilers made it sound like Zeff was ok because the Germa didn't care.
Still don't care for the whole cuff being a fake the whole time.
Like I get Judge ordered her, but afterwards like when she fixing up his beater face she couldn't of told him.
Jinbei is seen with 2 legs btw.

The twist is that he lost all the years off his life aside from the next 24 hours.
Why it's not like Jinbe asked to join, he's helping Luffy and co escape.
Though of course he's joining and will asked once they are out of danger.

Reiju is now officially the princess of this arc and she seems unlikely to start crying in every scene later on. She has the inherited will of her mother fully established, she is central to this whole arc. Bad news is that means she can't be a strawhat but good news is that Pudding and Carrot can.
Also Sanji has the soul of a maiden. That is why the treatment didn't work on him.

He's already asked, back at Fishman Island.
Foxy Pirates asked at Long Ring, I don't see them hanging around.
Jinbei declined due to BM, because he still had work with her, but he said once all was said and done he would come back and ask to join.
The crew said they will wait till he does.
Why?

I go back and forth if I want him to join, but ever since the revelation of a fleet, I thought he'd fit in better there with Aladdin and Hatchi and the other fishmen we know, rather than onboard the ship as another attacker.
I know it can be said his "dream" is to unit fishmen and humans, and I know we need to get the Strawhats up a few members, but right now I'm feeling anti-Jimbei crew
The "I took care of it now" line sounded like a confirmation to me.
So Reiju caught on to something. Clever girl.

I don't want Jimbei to join the crew, because I find him a tad on the boring side and I don't feel like he adds a whole lot, but I'm resigned to the fact that it's close to a lock. I just want Oda to give me Carrot as well so that we can get someone entertaining on the crew, too.
If anything, people become more interesting/lively when they hang out with the Straw Hats long-term. (i.e. Law for example)
- the time is coming to welcome our fish brother. He will join the MAIN CREW not the fleet though
- reiju is cool and i don't think she will die
- i can't believe people here still talk about pudding joining
- brook killed big mom by now I'm sure
This chapter was kind of a lead up to the climax, pumping sanji up, reintroducing Jinbei and setting luffy and co. free. Shit's 'bout to go down now. And since the wedding should start within the next few chapters I'm really looking forward to them. Bummer that there's a week off.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.
I guess any hope for the brothers to be redeemed is out. This chapter straight up says they have no emotions.
Yonji seems to have more than the other two though. Freaks out about women, wants to be recognized, is a general smartass. Still mean, but doesn't come off as callous as the other two. Being the outright weakest helps with that image a bit too.

Good frankly fuck his whole family barring Reiju.
Though maybe they get redeemed though humble pie.
Which is just a nice way of saying they need there ass/head kicked in hard.
Yonji comes off as the little bro that wants to act all tough.

Did anyone ever think they would be? Sanji's family have basically been portrayed as Nazis ever since they were introduced.
You be surprised based of other sites just wanting to hand wave them into being good.
It's not about how they failed with the experiment. I just don't think that it's necessary to say "Poor 1, 2 and 4 are assholes because his father experimented with them so they could be assholes by nature". It's completely unneeded. And, in any case, I don't see taking a drug really "mother-like" or good, or anything. You can't really say "I'm going to consume X grams of Y to produce Z effect". There are a lot of other factors. Risking her and their lifes doesn't make much sense to me.
In any case, it's not that weird to see a fetus being smaller compared to the rest in cases of multiple pregnancy. Sanji could have absorbed an smaller amount of whatever made them superhumans, or whatever.
I just don't like those things. I think they are unneeded, and the chapter could have focused on different stuff. I just don't see a purpose in all those explanations. It doesn't change what we think of the characters, and it doesn't make us hate Judge more than we did before.
I get it. It has a reason. I get it, but that doesn't change the fact that's overused. Luffy is as adventureous as it can get and we don't know if his mother is dead. He just met Shanks and decided to follow his steps. Makino could have been his mother, or Dadan, and it wouldn't have changed a thing, I'd say.
Zoro didn't need a deceased mother. Franky either, he was just left in Water 7 because their parents wanted to be pirates.
What I don't like, is that as far as "martyr mothers" go, we've already had better examples. Like Bellmere. Or Otohime, even if her sacrifice had more to do with her will to finish the racism between humans and fishmen.
After the blood transfusion scene, I consider anyone that isn't part of #TeamJimbei a monster.
Go watch it again, MiTYH!
I just want to see their powers already.

You knowwwwwwww... I guess at least Reiju resolved the issue with the exploding bracelet, but tbh I wish it would actually explode, as a test against Sanji's conviction and whether or not he's developed armor haki.
Do you mean armament haki? Because he's had armament haki.

God all the female outfits in One Piece Film Gold are so fucking embarrassing. Literally all of them, no exception. Every single female character that appeared had 3 options as outfits:
1. Huge (and I'm talking HUGE) cleavage put on the dumbest outfits
2. Bikini
3. Gold bikini armor (not even kidding)
My forehead was red by the end of it due to all the facepalms that happened.

Yes, armament haki. And well, if Sanji does have armament haki, is it strong enough to resist an explosion from one of those bracelets?
So regarding this chapter:
Oda set it up so Sanji could say that they just leave but then they would need to get Brook and the Poneglyph.
But knowing Luffy he won't let this slide and wants to punish either Pudding or Big Mum.
The biggest surprise would be though if the Germa just beat Big Mums soldiers. Then there is still the bomb..
I doubt the Germa will die here.. we were teased about the stories of them and I think something will happen regarding that

Yeah, the main issue here is that even though Sanji finally realizes to return to the crew, everyone is currently split up, so they can't leave yet.
For everything that's been set up for the wedding, like Pudding attempting to kill Sanji, Germa's downfall, the bomb, and whatever Capone is planning, it seems like Sanji is going to get roped into the wedding ceremony anyway. I wonder how exactly that will happen after seeing this chapter. It feels Luffy is going to fight another strong opponent in order to kill time, maybe Katakuri because we haven't seen him/her at all yet and we're already into the second half of the arc.

I can see people disliking Jinbei, but come on. This has been built up for ages.
It would, I wouldn't mind Luffy red.
And it would be a waste after everything to not make him part of the main.

Oh boy. New One Piece this week.
Pretty okay chapter. I look forward to next wee--
*sees One Piece is on break again*
Ah. Well, okay. T_T
To touch on some interesting parts in this chapter:
- Jinbei mentions that his crew is still under Big Mom. I think he didn't lose anything. He backed out of the roulette because the result might have lead to his death and some of his crew's life spans. It could have ended up being a similar situation to what happened with Zepo and Pedro.
- Nami's callback to Little Garden made me chuckle.
- Reiju seems prepared to die along with Germa. She brings up the fact that her hands are dirty and how she's been an accomplice to their war crimes. I don't think she'll die, but at some point in this arc, I expect whatever sins she carries to be stuck with her.
- The part of the Vinsmoke siblings being emotionless doesn't sound right and might be a mistranslation. We've seen Niji and Yonji display emotion, and we just saw Reiju crying in this chapter. They are anything but emotionless.
- We finally get the name of Sanji's mother. Oda has been teasing us on what the process of genetically modifying children in the womb is like. What kind of drug did Sola use to try to counter-act this? How was it supposed to work? I hope we get the answers to these questions before the arc ends.
Side note: I don't even know what was happening in this thread on page 249. lol
