Summary:
At the Pudding Cafe on Cacao Island, Pudding and the Sanji Retrieval Team meet. Together they discuss Charlotte’s family and the upcoming wedding, and Pudding offers to secretly help the team retrieve Sanji. Meanwhile, a distraught Sanji arrives in the Germ Kingdom. Another squad of Germa 66, led by his two older brothers, arrives on the war-torn island of Broc Coli and confers with one of its factions. Back on the Thousand Sunny, the Sanji Retrieval Team discovers that Pekoms is missing and finds a warning scrawled in the bathroom. Still, an excited Luffy declares that they will continue.
Pudding asks the Straw Hats to introduce themselves, in which Luffy shouts his name and declares that he is the future Pirate King. Nami gets angry and covers Luffy’s mouth. Pudding later blushes and realizes that Luffy looks familiar. Moments later, Pudding realizes that the Straw Hats are Sanji’s friends. The Straw Hats say Pudding’s name to recall the memories because the name sounded familiar. Brook later asks Pudding if she is a member of Charlotte’s family, to which she says yes. Luffy asks Pudding if she is Big Mom’s daughter being pressured into marrying Sanji, to which she agrees. Brook later screams in jealousy at Sanji because he has such a nice wife. Pudding later freaks out about how the Straw Hats bypassed security in Big Mom’s territory and pointed a knife at them, only for Pedro to hold the sword at her. Pedro asks the Straw Hats what they should do, to which Luffy is responsible for releasing Pudding. Pudding reveals the information that her family is large. That surprises straw men. Pudding tells the Straw Hats about how she is forced to marry Sanji. She later says that even though Sanji loves her, he doesn’t want to marry her and wants to return to the crew. The crew is shocked to hear that Sanji refused to marry such a pretty girl. Pudding later draws a map for the Straw Hats to go to Whole Cake Island, where Big Mom resides. The Straw Hats thank Pudding and leave. Before leaving, Brook asks to see Pudding’s panties again, only to be hit by Nami. Returning to Sunny, the Straw Hats are shocked to see Pekoms missing.
