A lotta people are raging at the way this arc is going. They're stupid.
Spoiler: showThey're questioning why the hook of the gang getting out of this jam is Sanji baking a cake & suddenly Big Mom is supposed to forgive everything.
But they gotta understand how Oda works. The entire time OP has been going he's been building a legacy & reputation in the world and among other pirates for the Straw Hats. Sanji being the Pirate King's master chef, who could bring Big Mom to her knees with his cooking, is absolutely part of the formula.Spoiler: showI can see Sanji getting a new wanted posted based on this, since people know he's a Vinsmoke now (and also that he's wanted dead or alive again).
Anyway, chapter thoughts:
Spoiler: showI feel like the arc is going kind of slow? I hope they dont show any of the cooking stuff and instead focus on the SH's and the fighting there until the cake is done.
I feel like a lot of the arc is kind of drawn out and suffering, but at least its 100% guarenteed to get BIG NEWS about them and seeing that happen is always one of the best parts of One Piece.
