1 AND 2

On Cacao Island Chocola-Town, the crew stands stunned. Luffy shouts 'WHAA-AAATI!' A sign reads 'THE CREW, STUNNED BY THE UNBELIEVABLE TRUTH!'. Someone yells 'BUT YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S GOING TO MARRY SANJII! YOU'RE THAT PUDDINGI!' Another adds 'SOME GUYS HAVE ALL THE LUCK! SHE'LL MAKE A BREATH-TAKING WIFE! AAAAAGH!'. A voice states 'SO NOT ONLY ARE YOU THE DAUGHTER OF BIG MOM...'. Pudding reacts with shock, exclaiming 'BUT, NOW THAT YOU MENTION IT, I'VE SEEN YOUR FACE BEFORE! YOU'RE STRAW HAT LUFFY!'. Luffy's crewmates are identified as someone shouts 'YOU GUYS... YOU'RE SANJI'S CREWMATESI! NO WAY~!'. SFX include 'HI- -k!!' and impact lines.

A woman asks 'HOW DID YOU GUYS MAKE IT PAST THE TARTE INSPECTIONI'. Another states 'YOUR CREW ISN'T SUBORDINATE TO BIG MOM'S, IS ITI'. Pedro reacts 'AH! THAT'S RIGHT! YOU ALL ARE SCARY PIRATES TOO!'. The group warns 'YOU'RE INSIDE MAMA'S TERRITORY NOW...AND MAMA IS AS SCARY AS THEY COME! Y... THEY'LL KILL YOU IF THEY FIND YOU! AND WHY ARE YOU EVEN HEREI!'. Pudding cries out 'WHAT DID I JUST SAY, PEDROI!'. Luffy yells 'KYAAA AAAH!'. Someone asks 'LUFFY. WHAT SHALL I DO WITH THIS WOMANI'. A voice replies 'HOLD IT! CALM DOWN! WE HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF BEING VIOLENT.' SFX include 'KYAAA AAAH!' and 'ばっ!!'.

A hand stirs a cup of swirling liquid as voices discuss the forced marriage. "To take back Sanji." "I see. You all are here..." "I guess this isn't exactly what you would call a consensual marriage." In a grand hall with checkered floors and chandeliers, seated figures explain, "We've all long ago abandoned any dream of freely choosing our own spouses." "You can't! Why don't you just run awayI" "Ulterior motive is to exploit our marriages to strengthen her crew." "Mama is a bit bullheaded and stubborn, you see... all her children know that her..." Luffy stares with wide eyes. A woman in a wide hat and sunglasses with a skull-like face shouts, "We were told that you were the '35th daughter of the Charlotte family.' Does Big Mom really have 35 daughtersI!" A young girl with a bob cut sweats nervously as another woman with wavy hair smiles, "One of my dearly beloved sisters left home in search of a free, independent love, a journey in search of a groom!"

The young woman with pigtails smiles while holding a teacup. "Our fathers are sort of all over the place. Mama's taken 43 husbands. All told, we're a 129-person family!" "WH-129I!" "Actually, she has 39 daughters and 46 sons." "All 85 of us are siblings!" Luffy reacts with shock, "WHEEEW--" as the group stands in a whimsical town square. "Our real, actual family!" "The foundation and infrastructure for Big Mom Pirate crew is built around..." "So there really are quite a few people out there that carry on Mama's blood..." "Some of my brothers and sisters already have their own children." The pigtail woman leans in blushing, "Y... yes... just once!" Luffy asks, "Met Sanji yetI" while the skull-faced figure exclaims, "My word... truly, a big mom!"

The pigtail woman gushes with hearts and sparkles around her, arms spread wide amid smiling flowers. "We have the same hobbies, and... he's so manly... oh my..." "I hear his legs are black or something and that he's super strong... I'm sure he'd protect me, and..." "His eyes are shaped like hearts, but... he knows so much about making sweets! He even taught me a few things!" "His eyebrows were a bit too curly but... he was so kind! Such a gentleman!" SFX: FLOOOWEEEER. She blushes, "L... loveI! Could you... I mean... I don't... and Mama's orders are absolute anyway..." "Since getting married is mandatory anyway... I just... well..." Luffy and the skull-faced man laugh, "You get him, don'tchaI! Sanji's a super cool guy!" "RightI! Hahahaha!" The skull-faced man declares, "To think that his bride-to-be would turn out to be such a wonderful girl! This is a highly unexpected development! It's no wonder Sanji's eyes have become heart-shaped!" The pigtail woman hugs the bob-cut girl tightly as hearts fly, "Samesies! Guess whatI! I love Sanji too!"

In a tense room, the pigtail woman sits while a tall figure in a dark cloak stands nearby. "If word gets out that we've landed here on this island, which is basically the entryway to Big Mom's territory, you can forget about ever making it to Sanji!" "Otherwise she'll blab about our arrival and presence here!" "We should keep this woman bound and gagged." "!I" A young woman with a ponytail looks concerned. The skull-faced man growls, "All the more reason for her to report us." "Pudding's scared of her parents too, you know!" "Don't forget that this woman is Big Mom's daughter!" "Then let me ask you: how else can we ensure that she keeps her mouth shutI" "How could you say such a thing, PedroI!" The ponytail woman protests, "Well, that's true, but..." At the table the bob-cut girl scribbles frantically with a quill while Luffy watches wide-eyed. "About Sanji..." "I can still forget!" Scribble sounds fill the air as a small flag waves.

Overlooking the grand wedding cake tower on Whole Cake Island, a voice reflects on the excitement: "AND MAMA IS EVER SO EXCITED FOR THE WEDDING CAKE!" Another adds, "APPARENTLY SO ARE THE VINSMOKES." A third states, "THEY'RE ALL CELEBRATING MY COMING WEDDING. EVERYONE ON TOTLAND..." Charlotte Pudding stands in profile, gazing at the distant castle. In a flashback sequence, young Pudding wonders, "WHAT SORT OF PERSON WILL I END UP GETTING MARRIED TOI EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD, I'VE ALWAYS WONDERED..." She continues, "I CAN'T DISOBEY AN ORDER FROM MAMA, SO... THERE'S NO WAY I COULD EVER MARRY WHOMEVER I WANTED, BUT..." In the present, Pudding recalls a silhouette of a man: "HE WAS SO WONDERFUL. I THOUGHT HE CAME OUT OF ONE OF MY DREAMS... I WAS SWEPT OFF MY FEET. BUT, THE TRUTH IS, IN THE END, HE SHARED SOMETHING WITH ME. AND ALONG CAME SANJI!" Pudding smiles softly then looks down with a conflicted expression, thinking "..."

Pudding faces Sanji's silhouette and declares with tears, "I'VE GOTTA RETURN TO MY FRIENDS." Sanji replies, "I REALLY WANT TO MARRY YOU. BUT I CAN'T." Pudding continues, "AND NOW THAT I'VE REALIZED THAT THAT DESIRE OF HIS ISN'T SOME ONE-SIDED, FOOLISH WISH, AND SEEING ALL OF YOU HERE IN TOTLAND NOW, RISKING YOUR LIVES, JUST TO BRING HIM BACK, WELL... BUT... YEAH... I TOTALLY GET WHERE HE'S COMING FROM! HE OBVIOUSLY WANTS TO CONTINUE HIS ADVENTURE... RIGHTI SNIFF" The scene shifts to a chaotic clash with Sanji transformed, shouting "SANJI. TURNED. DOWN. A. WOMANI!" as enemies react in shock with "ARE YOU SAYING...!!I" and sound effects "ズズズズズズ!". Pudding explains the escape route on a map: "IT'S ONLY KNOWN TO US SIBLINGS. THE ONLY PASSAGE THROUGH MAMA'S TERRITORY BY WHICH YOU CAN HOPE TO PASS UNNOTICED. HERE... FOLLOW THIS ROUTE." Bege warns, "I CAN'T IMAGINE SPENDING THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH SOMEONE THAT WILL REGRET HIS MARRIAGE SO DEEPLY! WHATEVER MAMA'S ORDERS MAY BE, I COULD NEVER STEAL SANJI AWAY FROM YOU GUYS."

A map of Whole Cake Island is shown with islands labeled WHOLE CAKE, CANDY, NUTS, BISCUITS, CHEESE, JAM, CACAO. A finger points to the southwestern coast as a voice promises, "ON THE SOUTHWESTERN COAST OF WHOLE CAKE ISLAND! I PROMISE YOU...I'LL BRING SANJI TO YOU GUYS! TOMORROW, LET US MEET..." Luffy grins excitedly, "SO THIS IS WHERE SANJI ISI! MAMA WILL NEVER WILLINGLY LET SANJI GO." Pudding reassures the group, "COME TO THINK OF IT, YOU GUYS WILL BE THE ONES GOING DEEP INTO ENEMY TERRITORY. SORRY ABOUT WORRYING YOURSELVES! BUT I'M CERTAIN THE STRONG BONDS YOU SHARE FOR ONE ANOTHER WILL SEE YOU THROUGH! I'M STILL HER DAUGHTER. DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. ARE YOU SUREI! WON'T BIG MOM PUNISH YOUI!" Pudding smiles warmly while holding a piece of paper, saying "MIGHT TURN OUT TO EVEN MORE WONDERFUL!" and adds, "STILL... I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL A LITTLE SAD ABOUT HOW THINGS TURNED OUT... WHO KNOWS...THE NEXT PERSON MAMA WANTS ME TO MARRY..."

Big Mom's subordinates burst into a room shouting "MISS PUDDING! WE'VE COME FOR YOU!" while a voice inside reacts "!I" and "KNOCK KNOCK". An underling praises, "SUCH A MATURE AND SENSIBLE CHILD! ARE YOU REALLY THE DAUGHTER OF ONE OF THE YONKOUI!" Pudding smiles and replies, "BUT I STILL HAVE GUESTS, AND... WE ASK THAT YOU KINDLY CEASE ALL WORK-RELATED ACTIVITIES! FROM NOW UNTIL THE WEDDING," as the group sneaks away with "SNEAK SNEAK". Luffy makes a goofy face in the background. Later, Pudding waves goodbye, "THANK YOU! YES, WE'LL BE FINE!" while a rabbit-like figure says, "I LAID IT ALL OUT OVER THERE, FEEL FREE TO DO WITH IT AS YOU PLEASE! YOU SURE YOU'LL BE OKAY WITH ALL THAT STUFF!" Another character reports, "I'VE GATHERED TOGETHER EVERYTHING YOU ORDERED. AH YES. YOU GUYS FROM EARLIER."

On the deck of the ship the crew argues over food while rushing to meet Pekoms. Brook complains, "WE'VE ALREADY GOT PLENTY OF FOOD!" Nami pleads for a choco burger as Luffy yells "CHOCO BURGERI!" and the others shout about choco pasta and chocolate fried chicken. The ship sails past candy-themed buildings as someone calls out "PEKOMSI!" and another voice answers "HUHI" Below, Chopper bursts from the bathroom holding a note and cries, "I FOUND A MESSAGE IN THE BATH-ROOM!" The group gathers on the dock; Brook suggests, "HE'S PROBABLY TAKING A DUMP OR SOMETHING. SOMEONE CHECK THE BATHROOM!" while Carrot wonders, "THAT'S STRANGE..." and another asks, "WASN'T HE SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOR US HEREI"

A massive impact shakes the panel as the message "TURN BACK" is revealed in jagged letters. The crew stares in shock at the writing. Brook warns, "AT ANY RATE, THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM!" while others speculate, "THIS COULD POSSIBLY MEAN THAT WE ARE NO LONGER FLYING UNDER THE RADAR HERE...", "MAYBE PEKOMS GOT KIDNAPPEDI!", "DID SOMEONE TRESPASS ON THE SHIPI", and "WHO ELSE COULD HAVE WRITTEN THISI" Luffy's face fills a close-up as he shouts, "WE'RE GONNA CONTINUE ON AHEAD!" and adds, "THINGS ARE FINALLY STARTING TO GET INTERESTING!" Someone replies, "YEAH." and another says, "RIGHT! EVERYONE, MAKE SURE YOU DON'T FORGET THIS MESSAGE!"

On New World Brock Colie Island, Brook gasps "HAA- HAA- HOW DARE YOU..." as an explosion erupts in the distance. A woman with swirling hair stands before a wall and declares, "WALL." Nearby, a cloaked figure aims a weapon while Germa soldiers stand ready; someone yells, "YOU LOST A RE THE GERMA, AREN'T YAI! YOU AIN'T EVEN HUMAN!" and another screams, "MY COUNTRY! MY WIFE! MY KIDS!" A gunshot rings out with "CLICK" followed by a massive blast marked "ばっ" as soldiers and civilians are thrown back amid debris and impact lines. Brook's face twists in pain while the cloaked attacker looms over the chaos.

The cloaked fighter points and growls, "OR YOUR WAR." while aiming a rifle and saying, "YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE ME LATE FOR MY LITTLE BROTHER'S WEDDING." and "I'VE SPENT MORE THAN FOUR HOURS HERE, DAWDLING..." A soldier is shot with "GUUGHH..." and the attacker adds, "I COULDN'T GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT YOUR FAMILY..." SFX: BANG! Germa 66 troops march through ruined streets as one states, "IT'S DONE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS SORRY EXCUSE FOR A WAR LASTED FOR OVER TWO YEARS." The cloaked man demands, "AND OUR COMPENSATIONI" and receives, "WE'VE RECEIVED IT." Brook questions, "OUR COUNTRY IS SAVED..." while a soldier replies, "THANK YOU!" repeatedly as the troops depart with briefcases.

A close-up shows a Vinsmoke prince with goggles and a swirl of hair grinning as he declares, "OHI HOW FUN." He adds, "I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HIM." In the next panel his expression hardens: "LIAR." The scene widens to a massive vista of a sprawling city nestled among giant trees and rocky cliffs. Crowds cheer wildly, shouting "GERMA! GERMA!" while massive sound-effect lettering "わああああああああああああ" fills the air. Narration boxes state: "AND WHAT ABOUT SANJII" "WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO REACH WHOLE CAKE IN TWO." "THE CEREMONY WILL TAKE PLACE IN THREE DAYS." "THE WAR HAS FINALLY COME TO AN END! THANK YOU, GERMA!" Two cloaked figures stand atop a stone tower overlooking the celebrating masses. On the right, soldiers raise rifles and fists as the crowd roars "LONG LIVE THE GERMA 66!" A small inset shows the same goggled prince saying, "SEE YOU THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW, THEN." The page ends with the chapter footer: "ONE PIECE CH. 828 / END."
