With Sanji forced into a political marriage by his scheming family, Luffy and members of the Straw Hats enter enemy territory to try to rescue him. But up against Big Mom, an Emperor of the Sea, do they even stand a chance?
Eiichiro Oda (尾田栄一郎, Oda Eiichirō) is a Japanese manga artist, best known as the creator of the manga and anime One Piece.
As a child, Oda was inspired by Akira Toriyama's works and aspired to become a manga artist. He recalls that his interest in pirates was probably sparked by the popular TV animation series titled Vicky the Viking. He submitted a character named Pandaman for Yudetamago's classic wrestling manga Kinnikuman. Pandaman was not only used in a chapter of the manga but would later return as a recurring cameo character in Oda's own works.

Still heartbroken over Sanji (I don't say I cried, but...this manga ruined me once more), hating Pudding and WTF is this with Bege? This is all such a mess and Luffy doesn't make anything better...as if he ever does.
This was a big volume and yeah it starts off with the usual finding by Sanji of the woman he is marrying and their plans for the Vinsmoke family, reunion of Luffy and Sanji and others and some interesting stuff with Big Mom and Brook and the mirror world strangely until all are together and make a plan with Capone and its interesting where the series is heading. Its a whole series of conspiracies. Good volume and so much detailing and planning, feels like a thriller movie. The art was good too and the moment between Sanji and Luffy was so emotional.
You'd think Big Mom had enough Observation Haki to notice a bunch of folks - potential assassins - sneaking about her bedroom. But then, she's established so enormously tough and unkillable that maybe they all are just flies to her, barely worth waking up for. Hmm.
Teaming up with Capone Bege was a completely unexpected thing for me, a surprise all the way to when Jinbei actually suggested it: he's just the kind of a guy the Straw Hats would normally go and beat up. But as Luffy says, it does make sense. They need the allies and he's done his homework.
Plot thickens, conspiracies keep building up, but most importantly, Sanji's back. Kind of.
Dios, mira que desconfiaba de Pudding totalmente, sobre todo desde el final del tomo anterior. Tanto dulce empalagaba mucho. Pero ha sido mucho peor de lo que me esperaba, es una autentica psicopata con todo el sentido de la palabra. Pobre Sanji, en esta saga no para de sufrir. La escena en la que descubre la verdad sobre Pudding, con ella burlándose cruelmente de él me ha partido el corazón, que penita me da verle llorar tanto. Lo bueno es que después de tanto drama vino la escena con Luffy bajo la lluvia y la reconciliación. Por cierto, Reiju en este tomo se ha absuelto totalmente para mi, creo que es un personaje bastante más interesante de lo que me figuraba a primera vista.
Una de las cosas que más interesantes de este tomo es como se ha podido intuir cual puede ser el rol de Jinbei dentro de los mugiwaras si entra ya de una vez en la banda. Ya sea marcándose un deus ex machina de primera (para que mentir) para sacar de la prisión a Luffy y Nami, o como consejero o hacedor de alianzas de los más insospechadas para el grupo, como señalo más abajo. Con toda su experiencia y fuerza creo que de cara a todo lo que va a avecinarse puede ser un efectivo de lo más valioso e interesante.
Por otro lado , Brook me ha encantado en su primer encuentro con Big Mom. Es un personaje que puede parecer un payaso, pero que cuando menos te lo esperas demuestra una gran profundidad y complejidad, y un gran conocimiento de sus compañeros. Que penita me ha dado cuando le capturo y la buena señora le uso como accesorio. Pobrecito mío. Lo bueno es que eso trajo algunas de las mejores escenas de este tomo, con el resto de sus compañeros tratando de salvarle mientras él y Big Mom dormían. Me lo he pasado realmente bien en esta parte, después de todo lo que ha pasado con Sanji en los anteriores volúmenes creo que eran muy necesarios estos momentos graciosos.
Quizás la única pega que puedo ponerle al arco de Whole Cake es que ha tardado un poco en ponerse realmente en funcionamiento. Todas las piezas ya se han colocado sobre el tablero, con una nueva y sorprendente alianza entre los mugiwaras y la banda del supernova Bege Capone, yerno de Big Mom. Y Caesar, que casi nos habíamos olvidado de él (y sin remordimientos). Todo para acabar con Big Mom. La entrada en este complot del pirata y su señora me ha parecido un tanto precipitada, pero espero que estos dos personajes se desarrollen con profundidad en los siguientes capítulos.

I love the political machinations in this arc. Everyone is playing everyone and Luffy slowly discovers it all. Then promptly wrecks all the carefully laid plans because he is Luffy. Gotta love how the crew gets to shine. Brook completes his mission. Chopper takes over the mirror world. Nami holds her own in combat. Love it. I also like how this arc makes Sanji more bearable for me (he had gotten annoying). Though I feel like they oversell his "big heart" and his "kindness".
Volume 85: Chapter 849-858 Saga 9: Whole Cake Island Arc 29: Whole Cake Island
Sanji knows the truth about Big Mom's plan from Pudding where the Vinsmoke Family will be killed tomorrow during his wedding. Luffy and Nami already knows Pudding's true colors. Jinbe saves Luffy and Nami from the book prison.
Brook fights 1 vs. 1 against Big Mom but he is easily defeated. He was kept hostage by Big Mom. Pudding revealed she was from Third-Eyed People. She has the power the read poneglyph.
Pedro fights againts Baron Egoo who evolved to Viscount Chick and evolved again to Count Chicken. Pedro blew himself up but managed to escape using Mirro-World. Chopper and Carrot then saved Nami and Jinbe. After that, they saved Brook from Big Mom. Brook managed to steal a copy of Big Mom's poneglyphs.
Luffy went back to the spot where his promised to wait for Sanji. Sanji also went back to the spot along with a bento that he cooked. Sanji and other crews settle down.
Jinbe told Luffy that Bege initial intention is to kill Big Mom. So he proposed to Luffy to team up with Bege.
"Ya despierta! Sanji!...Mirá muy a las cosas más importantes...Nunca vas a conocer gente tan maravillosa como la que tienes ahora mientras vivas!"
"Luffy...yo...quiero regresar al sunny! Pero no puedo encontrar la fuerza para escapar de aquí!"
Y Luffy solo: "Digo...ese eres tú, ¿o no?
Ay dios mío, cuanto amo la forma en que Luffy ve tras las intenciones de sus nakamas. Sanji no dejaba de darle largas y él solo fue como "dime la puta verdad". Te amo, te amo Luffy que entiende, Luffy que escucha, Luffy que ve los deseos del corazón y los cuida, te amo Luffy.
Tremenda alianza de la que ya ni me acordaba xd

WHOLE CAKE ISLAND ARC - PART 3 1. oooohhh pudding if i catch you pudding pudding if i catch you pudding
2. if i was an evil big bad guy, i would quake in my boots if the straw hats invaded my castle, because they manage to fuck up EVERYTHING. literally, they would put my life in RUIN.
3. w reiju
4. sanji bringing the food to luffy. man, i fucking love them. luffy has such a high emotional IQ even though he is a little dumb fuck most of the other time
5. i enjoy caesar as a hostage so much, he is so funny
Really fun story, and adds a lot of depth to Sanji, but the fan service is stupid and over the top, which ruins the story. Oda is getting worse the older he gets with it.
As I'm reading this on Shueisha's Manga Plus app, I keep seeing people comment about how sad Sanji's backstory is, as well as newer developments regarding Pudding. I've always liked Sanji, or at least more than Zoro, who I find kind of boring, but... eh, I just don't really feel anything when I read about him getting his ass kicked as a kid, and so on. Which is pretty funny, because I'm sure if I re-read the Baratie arc right now I'd cry like a bitch through most of it, again.
As a relative late-comer to the series, it's weird to me to see how prominent Bege is here, as he always felt to me like the least significant of the Worst Generation, at least as far as concerns merchandising. Obviously, Luffy and Zoro are among the main characters. Blackbeard is potentially the "final boss" of the series. Law has been around for a good while, and is otherwise quite popular outside the manga's pages. I know Kidd and Killer will show up in Wano, partly because I've seen figurines of the lads with specific reference to Wano in their names. Bonney gets some love for being the sole woman of the Worst Generation, on top of being pretty sexy, and I think necessarily has more merch than most of the lads, barring Luffy, Zoro, and Law. I guess, in fairness to Bege, neither Hawkins, Drake, Urouge, nor Apoo struck me as particularly significant, so much as their designs seemed more interesting than "generic cartoony mafioso." I've already mostly forgotten, but I think we somewhat recently saw some shit to suggest those other four guys will show up in some way around Wano, or at least I can recall seeing them recently, and a Denden Mushi with Apoo's piano-teeth talking to Kaidou. So I guess it works out well enough that Bege's getting some time to shine, here.
There's a pretty cute panel of Nami pouting with her lower lip stuck out. I like the new dress she gets in the last chapter here, though I think I'll miss the dress she was wearing for the bulk of the arc so far.
Sanji wird nicht zur Strohhutbande zurückkehren, doch Ruffy will seinen Freund nicht aufgeben. Allerdings wurden er und Nami gefangen genommen, während Chopper und Carrot immer noch hinter dem Spiegel sind. Brook soll unterdessen die Kopien der Porneglyphen besorgen, aber auch er trifft auf Hindernisse. Doch dann wird eine Intrige nach der anderen offenbart ...
"Lügner" ist der fünfundachtzigste Band der One Piece Reihe von Eiichiro Oda.
Auch dieser Band konnte mich komplett mitreißen, denn es passiert wieder viel Spannendes und so war auch dieser Band wieder viel zu schnell ausgelesen!
Sanji hat sich gegen seine Freunde gestellt, denn er will diese und auch Jeff und das Baratié beschützen. Aber da ist ein Silberstreif am Horizont, denn mit Charlotte Pudding wird er eine wunderschöne und freundliche Ehefrau bekommen, doch dann erfährt Sanji etwas, das ihm das Herz bricht. Er ist ja wirklich herzensgut und er hat mir so leidgetan, aber umso schöner war dann die weitere Entwicklung!
Ruffy, Nami, Chopper, Brook und Carrot sind aber auch nicht untätig und versuchen sich aus den Klemmen, in die sie hineingeraten sind, zu befreien. Dabei bekommen sie Hilfe von unerwarteten Seiten und es wird nicht nur eine Intrige aufgedeckt, was ich richtig spannend fand! Das Tempo ist wieder mal sehr hoch und man kann einfach nicht aufhören zu lesen!
Fazit: Auch "Lügner" von Eiichiro Oda hat mir richtig gut gefallen! Ich mochte Sanji in diesem Band total gerne und es gab so einige Wendungen, die mich überraschen konnten, sodass ich diesen Band nicht aus der Hand legen konnte. Ich freue mich auf den nächsten Band!
