Summary:
Two days before, Capone Bege used a surprise ambush to surround Sanji and Brook and capture Nami, Chopper, and Caesar. He took them into his body, which is a fortress due to the power of Shiro Shiro no Mi. There, he sent an invitation to Sanji, the third son of the Vinsmoke Family, and revealed that he was going to marry Pudding of the Charlotte Family, which was ruled by Big Mom. Shocked, Sanji refused, but Bege threatened him and his crew members, and Bege’s crewmate Vito whispered something in Sanji’s ear, shocking him.
Two days ago, Pekoms collapsed when Capone Bege finished him off, and a shocked Sanji and Brook noticed two men with machine guns in the hole in Bege’s palm. Bege reasoned that Pekoms was cowardly and weak to let his emotions interfere with business and told his men to get out. A door opened in Bege’s chest and several miniature gunmen ran out, transforming to normal size as they crossed the red barrier around Bege’s body. Bege’s men surrounded Sanji and Brook, and Bege revealed that he had eaten the Shiro Shiro no Mi, allowing his body to become a fortress. He then told them about how he was in the same generation as their captain and reflected on the trouble Luffy caused him in the Sabaody Archipelago when he was forced to fight the marines. Bege stated that he did not wish to make any scene here because he knew the power of minks. Sanji replied that he didn’t want the Minks involved, and he and Brook prepared to fight the Fire Tank Pirates. However, Bege knew they would and called Vito, who brought a captured Nami and Chopper with him. Vito informed Bege that Caesar Clown was hiding in a nearby tree. Bege threatened to shoot the scientist with sea rock bullets, causing him to fall from the tree. However, Bege revealed that he had no seastone bullets, but he did have a seastone staff that one of his subordinates was holding Caesar. Bege then ordered the captured Curly Hats to go to his body fortress.
Back in the present, Luffy wonders how his crew members got into Bege’s body and is scolded for forgetting Bege’s ability. Brook continues his story and reveals that they were brought to the Bege fortress in chains, except for Sanji, who was sitting at a long banquet table. Bege then appeared in her fortress as a purple liquid before solidifying into his normal body and offered Sanji some wine as he sat at the other end of the table. As Vito lit a cigar, Bege revealed that Big Mom’s pirates’ intentions had changed since the two crews had battled a week ago, and threw Sanji an invitation to Big Mom’s tea party. Sanji was confused, but Bege read the contents and revealed that Sanji, as the third son of the Vinsmoke family, was arranged to marry Pudding from the Charlotte family. Sanji and his colleagues were horrified and Sanji’s cigarette fell out of his mouth as he opened it in shock.
Sanji’s cigarette fell to the floor and caught fire, causing an angry Bege to quickly put it out. Bege called Sanji ill-mannered and Brook stated that the name Vinsmoke sent chills down his spine. Nami, Brook, and Chopper were trying to process the revelation about Sanji, and Nami remembered how Sanji had revealed that he was from North Blue, although he grew up in East Blue, when they read Liar Noland on Jay. Brook was surprised to hear this, as North Blue and East Blue are separated by a red line that very few people can travel through. Caesar then revealed to them that Pudding is Big Mom’s daughter, meaning that they would probably become Big Mom’s subordinates if Sanji were to marry, which scared them. Sanji refused to go to the tea party and get married, but Bege replied that the invitation was for him to see, not to answer. The pirate then revealed that his body moved with them inside him and that he had full control over him. He worked the chandeliers and rugs into knives and cannons aimed at Sanji as he caused Nami to sink into the ground, showing his unlimited power over his fortress. Sanji yelled at him to stop and Bege did so, stating that Big Mom’s invitation could not be refused no matter what. Vito then went over to Sanji and echoed his captain’s point when he said that even the demons of Hell would come to Big Mom’s tea parties if they were invited. Vito then whispered something in Sanji’s ear, shocking him, and Sanji asked how they knew, which Bege called a stupid question.
