Summary:
Luffy is full to bursting from eating all of Cracker’s cookie soldiers for several hours, but refuses to give up, causing an enraged Cracker to attack him directly. However, Luffy activates another form of Gear 4 known as Tankman: Full Version. Cracker is unable to penetrate Luffy and is instead pulled into his bloated body, shot at high speed and flying all the way to Sweet City. His unconscious body is discovered by his siblings, who put Sweet City in a state of emergency. Despite Luffy’s victory, Pound and Kingbaum warn him that Big Mom will pay him back with even more power.
Meanwhile, Chopper and Carrot finally discover Sanji through the mirror and find out where he’s going, but are caught by Brûlée. The Vinsmoke family heads out to meet Big Mom at the Whole Cake Chateau, and Sanji thinks of his crew as they reach the point of no return.In the Germ Kingdom, Reiju and Sanji are called to go with the rest of their family to meet Big Mom at Whole Cake Castle. Reiju gives Sanji a shirt to replace his tattered one before they do so.
After eating more of Cracker’s cookie soldiers, Luffy is so bloated he can barely stand and says he can’t go on. An exhausted Cracker gleefully tries to push Luffy to the limit by sending more cookie soldiers at him, but Luffy and Nami refuse to quit as she rains on the soldiers again and Luffy eats them despite feeling terrible. Outraged, Cracker wonders if Luffy’s stomach is infinite, and even though Luffy can’t even stand, he still faces Sweet Commander. Nami states that Luffy’s stomach can take anything, though the friends around her object like Luffy are clearly at their limit. Luffy states that he won’t throw up all the cookies he ate, and an enraged Cracker promises to take it down by stabbing him in the stomach. Cracker rushes towards Luffy himself with the pretzel ready and in response Luffy blows on his arm and activates Gear 4. However, this time Luffy takes on a much larger and rounder form called Tankman: Full Version and Cracker swings the pretzel at him. , but is unable to break through Luffy’s Busoshoku Haki.
Cracker then tries to impale Luffy, and after initially failing again, tries an even stronger attack. Again, he can’t cut through Luffy, but the force of the pull causes the Pretzel to pull into Luffy’s bloated body, dragging Cracker with it. As he is trapped in the folds of Luffy’s body, Cracker’s remaining desiccated soldiers march towards Luffy, but Luffy tells Nami not to soften them with the rain this time. Luffy then ejects Cracker from his body, which sends him flying through his Biscuit Soldiers at high speed. Cracker continues to fly with great force, destroying many Seducing Woods friends before flying all the way to Sweet City. As this happens, Big Mom receives word that Smoothie has reported to the Whole Cake Chateau while Katakuri is almost there. Looking forward to having all three of her sweet commanders in one place, Big Mom wonders about the status of Cracker’s confrontation with Luffy. Outside, Cracker crashes into Whole Cake’s castle and his unconscious body falls to the ground, attracting the attention of Big Mom and everyone outside. Cracker’s siblings Charlotte Mont-d’Or, Charlotte Opera, and Charlotte Galette stand over him in shock and, realizing that Luffy had to do this, declare a state of alarm over Sweet City, causing the citizens to panic and evacuate.
Back in the Seducing Woods, Luffy deactivates Gear 4 and Pound comes out of hiding and openly admits that he was afraid of the battle. As Luffy lies on the ground, Nami rejoices at their victory, but no one shares her joy as Pound and Kingbaum look on sadly. They reveal that this event will spark Big Mom’s wrath, just like when Urouge defeated Snack. When this happened, an enraged Big Mom unleashed a storm through her control over a living storm cloud named Zeus and a living sun named Prometheus. As Cracker’s massive fleet set out to destroy Urouge, Big Mom’s storm caused Urouge’s ship to quickly sink. Despite this threat, Luffy is still determined to save Sanji as he knows that the wedding is not too long away and he has heard that Sanji is coming to Big Mom’s castle. He orders Kingbaum to get him and Nami out of the Seductive Forest, and the dude is forced to comply again thanks to Nami’s Vivre card. He wonders how they have it and says that not even Big Mom’s children are allowed to have him because of his power.
In the mirror world, Brûlée continues to chase Chopper and Carrot, who have managed to hide in a corner. As they sit too exhausted to think clearly, Carrot suddenly sees Sanji standing in the mirror in front of her. Chopper and Carrot go to him and try to call out to Sanji, but before he notices them, Reiju steps in front of the mirror. Reiju asks if he’s ready to go to the Whole Cake Chateau and gives Chopper and Carrot their upcoming location. The duo prepares to go tell Luffy and Nami, but Brûlée suddenly arrives and makes them scream. Sanji and Reiju walk outside, where Sanji is greeted by the thunderous cheers of the Germa 66 soldiers. Sanji ceremoniously makes his way to the carriage on the road where his father and brothers are waiting. Ichiji gives him a red cape, which Sanji puts on as he gets into the carriage. As the carriage drives off, Judge tells Sanji to wave at the soldiers, but Sanji instead looks up at the ceiling, where he thinks of his crewmates and imagines that he is with them again for a brief moment before returning to reality.
