After a one-week hiatus, the popular pirate manga "One Piece" returns. This week's chapter sheds more light on Sanji's family, while rumors suggest that Luffy may have to postpone his fight with Cracker and make saving Sanji a priority.
In chapter 839, the entire Vinsmoke family has gathered for Sanji's imminent wedding to Big Mom's daughter, Pudding. Although Sanji is not very keen on the idea, he has no choice but to go along with it, as he has been placed under his family's custody. In addition, it is revealed that his father is using Sanji's chef mentor as leverage, saying that something could happen to the man should Sanji decide not to push through with the wedding.
Meanwhile, it is certain that the fight between Luffy and Cracker will continue. The last chapter has Luffy managing to peel off Cracker's armor, revealing the true identity of Big Mom's tenth son. However, Cracker is proving to be a tough opponent for Luffy, as Cracker's skills and power evidently places him as one of the top executives of Big Mom Pirates. Even with his Gear Fourth technique already out, the Straw Hat captain is having difficulties.
However, since the wedding of Sanji and Pudding is fast approaching, Luffy will want to fast-track the fight. There are rumors that for some unseen circumstance (like Cracker being summoned), the fight between the two may be postponed. Luffy will have to prioritize the rescue of Sanji.
There are also hints that the following chapters will also shed more light on Sanji's background. Towards the end of this week's chapter, it is revealed that the Germa 66 and the Vinsmoke family may have been deep into cyborg research, along with advanced weapons. It remains to be seen if one or more of Sanji's brothers are cyborgs themselves.
