The arc of One piece dedicated to Sanji and that we have been following for almost a year is still not finished and tends to drag on. However, the famous tea party that we have all been waiting for for a long time is finally coming to an end. The hype is at the rendezvous and last Sunday, the episode of the anime ended with the alliance between the crew of straw hats and that of Capone "Gang" Bege who determined their plan to kill Big Mom.
An arc based on betrayal and conspiracies
Since the beginning of the arc, we constantly discover characters who do not hesitate to betray others in order to achieve their goals. Each side plots against the others, Big Mom intends to exterminate germa 66 to appropriate their forces, Pudding has totally played Sanji and his feelings, revealing his true demonic nature and now it is Bege's turn to turn against Big Mom by allying with the Mugiwara (straw hat crew).
An arc full of twists and turns, which leaves us hungry. For the moment, no fight has really been exhilarating, except perhaps that of Luffy against Cracker which revealed the tank man form of Luffy's gear fourth. Many characters are introduced by Eiichiro Oda, such as Smoothie, Oven and Katakuri without being able to really judge their strength. Not to mention that they are not yet sufficiently developed. For now, the crew of Big Mom is disappointing, Cracker the Sweet Commander was beaten flat out by Luffy, Burlée is more of a help to the mugiwaras than anything else, Brook escaped and managed to copy Big Mom's poneglyph, which is a feat. Everything is going well for our heroes, but we expect more.
A most amazing alliance
Hope for the future
After all these flat and slow episodes that Toei Animation has been able to serve us, the exhilarating episodes seem very close. The tea party will take place soon! And the whole Big Mom family will be reunited, especially with the famous Katakuri whose bounty exceeds Berry's billion, a character who makes you shiver by his badassitude.
The future of the One Piece anime seems to be heading straight for epic and terrifying battles where Luffy and his companions will have to face real monsters. Who will prevail between the Mugiwara and the Big Mom crew? Can Luffy bring Sanji back? Is he strong enough to compete with an emperor and his subordinates? Unanswered questions that we can't wait to solve.
The terrifying sweet commander: Katakuri
Eiichiro Oda will never cease to surprise us through this masterpiece that is One Piece, and it is with impatience that we await the continuation of the adventures of straw hats! Especially when we know that, according to the mangaka, there is still 35% of the story to discover and that the ending will be "really cool"…
