About the author

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.

psa do not trust any booksellers at a certain south hills bookstore they will sell your prized big mom chase funko pop right under your nose

oda killed off my favourite character (and so far only actual death in one piece like wtf dude?) and hasn’t done anything interesting or worthwhile since. instead i’m left with *checks notes* a dude making armour out of cookies and the introduction of a family consisting of 129 members as if it’s not already impossible to keep all the characters apart? also ichiji, niji, sanji, and yonji???? am i a joke to you??

Luffy and co make their way towards Whole cake island and meet the princess who sanji is gonna be married too and then there is the thing with Sanji and he battles his father and we see how terrible his childhood was and how he is being forced to marry meanwhile we get a glimpse of the weird antiques of Big Mum and its insanely well done. Next up Luffy and co in the wandering forests and where they are lost like a maze and facing off against Brulee (Mirror Powers) and Cracker, both Big Moms children and their power is insane. Luffy and co will have to find ways to survive as we learn more of the island. Good arc and serves as a nice introduction.

Chapters 828 '1 and 2' - 838 'Bropper'

We finally get to meet Sanji's eldest two brothers whom seem to be just as arrogant as Judge and Yonji.
Puffy is having a hard time defeating Cracker and love how Nami is using the vivre card to frighten the homies into submission

Pudding les entrega un mapa para dirigir a la tripulación por el territorio de bigmon sin ser descubierto. Son muchas islas al rededor de l principal. Pudding les vendió su imagen de niña buena.
Mostraron a Jimbe, su decisión de abandonar la tripulación y a bigmon, la disposion de Pralinne de darle la espalda a su madre por Aladin, los arrebatos de Big mon cuando quiere algo de comer, entre otras.
Brook y Pedro se separaron de los demás para ir a obtener una copia de los poneglyphs que tiene Bigmon, mientras los otros se adentran en el bosque tras un vistazo a Sanji. Pronto descubren que están bajo ataque, Brullee con su habilidad crea copias y retiene en su mundo de los espejos a Carrot y Chopper. Luffy lucha contra Craker, uno de los tres comandantes de Bigmon mientras Nami empieza a controlar a los Hommies con la vivere card que le dió Lola.
Por último, acaban de llegar los dos hermanos mayores de Sanji. Ya están todos, solo tiene que seguir avanzando. Falta 1 día para la boda.

WHOLE CAKE ISLAND ARC - PART 1
1. sanji has porn magazines, confirmed.

2. his brother yonji and his sister reiju T_T the eyebrow T_T why must it be in the same direction T_T (so, reiju, ichiju, niji and yonji all have eyebrows that curl to the right. sanji is the only one whose eyebrows curl to the left)

3. snackalism. i would be victim to the same crime. god i would love to live in chocolat town

4. oh my god. whole cake island is like charlie's chocolate factory and hänsel and gretel with the witch combined

5. holy fuck, i hate sanji's father. what a despicable shitbag, he doesnt deserve to be called father!!!

6. randolph the rabbit fighting for big mom is a hear me out

7. somehow the entire vinsmoke quadruplets (apart from sanji) look like totally spies x power rangers

i've been watching the anime, but being forced to wait a week for each episode is just so haaaard, mama need some Luffy ^ ^
actually it's not long since i got to the ongoing episodes and for someone who spent so much time using every chance to watch one piece i'm going through a hard time :'/

از وقتی توی انیمه آنگویینگ شدم و باید یه هفته صبر کنم برای اپیزود جدید اصلا افسردگی گرفتم. بعد از یکم بلاتکلیفی و چه کنم چه کنم رفتم سراغ مانگا. ماجرا برا کسایی که دنبال میکنن واضحه.لوفی و بقیه کلاه حصیری ها رفتن دنبال سنجی . فقط خیلی دلم برا فرانکی و اوسوپ و رابینو زورو تنگ شده. امیدوارم زودتر همه جمع بشن دوباره

2025 reread : I think no arc deserved to me called 'a treat' more than Whole Cake. It's like no other arc we have seen before. Partly because the entire crew isn't there, but also because the way of doing things is different. This is suppose to be a sneaky mission! It's not very successful in that but still, it's a change. I also appreciate the fact Oda takes his time to set up the themes of this arc, in order to talk about family (abusive families in particular) he has to introduce the families first and he does it very purposefully, it's nice to see.
I love the cover of this volume btw.




2019 reread : First volume without Traffy. Tough.
But about the volume now that I know how this arc goes : I love how crazy this arc is? The islands are really super fun to discover. And I know Big Mom is the vilain here, but some of what she wants to accomplish is great. I like seeing Jinbei around again. And Sanji interacting with his family is interesting too.

Oe the one hand : it's really interesting to discover those new islands and powers. Seriously it's super interesting and I looooooove all the food stuffs.
On the other hand : I don't think the crew as a whole could get out of here alive. So I really don't know how half of the crew (minus some of its strongest members) will manage to flee.
I really like how things changed once we reached the second half of Grand Line. They stopped following the log pose all the time, they made some allies, the crew didn't stay together and clearly the arc was going to be more than one island since they were going after an emperor. That's great! Mixing things up is awesome! But I think maybe they are facing emperors a bit fast? I have trouble believing that they can come out of it alive. Hopefully I'm super wrong. It's always hard to judge before seeing the end of an arc.

Muy buen tomo que sirve de puente entre la introducción que vimos en el anterior y todo lo que va a venir en los siguientes. La saga de Whole Cake está siendo una gozada para mis ojos, me encantan la ambientación y el diseño de los personajes, y de momento estoy disfrutando de todo lo que leo. La acción está muy bien llevada y avanza a buen ritmo. Aunque la parte de Luffy y cía ha estado genial, pero me ha parecido más de lo mismo de lo que hemos visto en este manga. Así que de momento me interesan más las partes de Jinbe (que majo queriéndose unir a Luffy y confiando en él tanto) y la relación de Sanji con su familia . Con todo lo que hemos visto a Judge ya se le puede ir poniendo el titulo de peor padre del año.Tengo mucho interés por seguir descubriendo el pasado de Sanji, creo que va a hacer lo que más va a vertebrar todo este arco, y creo que todo lo que hemos visto hasta ahora no es todo todo lo que nos queda por observar de esta parte de su historia. Y en otro orden de cosas, el personaje de Big Mom me está gustando cada vez más, está haciendo un antagonista de primera. Con solo ver la escena que ha tenido de locura y como se ha cargado a su hijo y ha dejado muy claro que va a ser una enemiga de armas tomar.

No tengo ninguna duda (y espero) de que el siguiente tomo va a ser incluso más interesante que este, ya que le ha faltado un poquito de chispa. Pero tengo muchas esperanzas en todo lo que está por venir de este arco.

The story just gets better and better 🙂‍↕️

[Juho Pohjalainen · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really want Sanji to just beat up his stupid dad and idiot siblings, deliver righteous payback from the years of physical and mental abuse, now that the tables have turned and they've got nothing on him anymore. There's so much catharsis we're missing out on here. But, yeah, him taking the high road and not go onto the offensive - even letting them continue kick him around some more - is better for the plot and for his character in the long run.

Still a shame, though.

Enjoyed learning more about this sinister land of sweets plus finding out what Big Mom's power is. I also love Germa 66's floating island. Very excited about lots of past characters heading to a big meet-up, can't wait to see some of them again!

.one piece is the best story that someone has ever created, i have no words ...oda you are a master ...

Can't believe this bitch popped out 85 kids

[Ahmed Gamal · Rating 3 out of 5]

The rescue mission didn't go well, and we are going to get more backstory for Sanji.
So far so good but we got to know more about Big Mom's power

[Graham Barrett · Rating 3 out of 5]

This volume was serviceable enough. We’re finally getting to Whole Cake Island proper and its certainly a trippy place (one part Candy Land, one part Wonderland, and the last bit One Piece’s own Thriller Bark). I appreciated the Luffy and Nami team-up in the Seducing Woods, Jinbei finally returning, Lola from Thriller Bark returning/Nami getting some payoff for helping her, more on Sanji’s family, Sanji being able to hold his own against some of them (kind of hilarious the one brother whose ass he kicked has Zoro’s hair color) but not his father, etc. All that was fine.

It’s just at the same time it felt like the volume was padding and set-up for the volumes to come. Which is totally fine and as One Piece has shown time and again pays off. Just maybe I wasn’t in the mood for this one despite all it did have going for it.

[Maryam · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5

Overall, this is a solid beginning to the Whole Cake Arc. I would have rated this a four for some really important pieces of content, but some chapters feel more filler than not. And even though Oda tries to balance plot-points between the Straw Hats, it has yet to reach its stride. Which I'm sure it will in the next couple of volumes.

Lots of backstory to Sanji's past, which in itself takes some getting used to after approximately 70 volumes of otherwise, basic Sanji. It's all great though! And the Vinsmoke family definitely has an intriguing reputation.

Also, anything with Jinbe is automatically amazing. <3

[K · Rating 3 out of 5]

Sanji the love of my life! I can’t believe this is just a taste of the sadness and horror you experienced as a child. How am I supposed to read more??

Also, cracker… the devil fruit he ate give him biscuit powers? Oda… are you okay buddy? Were you HIGH when you selected that as his devil fruit instead of countless other things it could be

[edy · Rating 3 out of 5]

rating: 3.5

c'mon sanji just beat up your awful dad and siblings. i wonder how luffy is gonna fight big mom (and win i assume) if he's already using gear three against cracker. like, yeah, he's a general and whatnot and seems to be really strong but dang, isn't it kind of early to be using strong moves?

[T.R. Preston · Rating 5 out of 5]

Ah, back when I adored Big Mom. Too bad Oda ruins her later on (Looking at you, Wano)

Sanji’s brothers are in town! His siblings remind me of Present Mic from My Hero 😆

[Henry Wang · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am a big fan of One Piece. I really suggest that you to read this book. It is really interesting. The main character in One Piece is Luffy. He is a pirate and there are eleven people in his boat. Everyone of them has their own responsibility. There is a voyager, doctor, musician, cooker, captain and so forth. Every pirate in his boat are good at fighting. It is a blood anime. In this chapter, Luffy is trying to save his friends (The cooker) from Big Mom. Big Mom is a really powerful pirate. Do you want to know what happen next? Then, Read This Book!!!

[Kurtis Burkhardt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Another exciting awesome volume of one piece, This story keeps getting better with each volume! There’s always many things going on at once and I love it all 😻😻😻 So far loving this cake island/Big mom arc 😁💕📖

[Charmy · Rating 4 out of 5]

The Big Mom arc seems to just be a slow filler arc. Leading up to a giant war of all the old Yonkos going up against the worst generation.
