This was a pretty good volume and while they are on the run from Big Mom whose getting slim and by the end powers up, its both like a comedy and a thrill to see them escape and make the deadline while SANJI prepares the cake and in other place in the mirror-verse we have Luffy fighting Katakuri, like facing his own match and its an intriguing fight and we learn more about the latter. The volume is a combination of laugh out loud moments, part food humor and all. Also that moment between Chiffon and her father was so cool. Emotional for sure.

Another fun saga as the fight against Big Mom and Katakuri continues! Very clever move by Sanji, although I'll be happy to be done with the sweet food references by the conclusion... onwards and upwards to the next crazy adventure with Luffy & gang!

As the SBS brings up, perfection is boring. There are no perfect characters in One Piece. Katakuri got a lot more interesting as his flaws were revealed as well.

Luffy’s toughest fight yet! And the arc of Whole Cake Island is almost at its conclusion!

Algo que me guste después de una lectura que no me gustó jsjsjs one piece, mi vieja confiable 😌 ya vamos en el desenlace, todos están avanzando en sus partes para reunirse en la isla chocolate.
Sanji, Pudding y Chiffon están preparando el pastel, en los últimos capítulos ya van con él en el barco de Bege para interceptar a Bigmon en el camino.
Luffy está luchando contra Katakuri, está de saquito de boxeo xd me gustó la parte donde se guardo sus gritos por los golpes recibidos para que los demás no se preocuparan, si cuando quiere Luffy es bastante serio. Ahora ya por el segundo round o tercero si cuento cuando se le va el haki y va a descansar secuestrando a Brulee xd
Nami, Chopper, Brook, Jimbe y Carrot están huyendo de Bigmon y bueno Carrot tuvo su momento al activar su forma su long con la luna llena que casualmente había esa noche jsjsjs pero se viene otra amanezca de parte de Big mon que está adelgazando jsjsjsj
Por último, Germa derrotó a sus enemigos y se dirigen a la isla chocolate donde Luffy y los demás.

He dicho ya que me encanta Katakuri?? Incluso lleva un reloj de bolsillo!! jajaja
Me está gustando bastante este arco, pese a que la gente se queja de él. Vale que los mugis están teniendo mucha suerte, pero es que sí no...
La forma Sulong, mola.
Big mom todo loca, mola.
La dinámica de Sanji y pudding, mola...
La pelea entre luffy y Katakuri, mola (el momento merienda ha sido demasiado, que irónico y que risas XD )
Brulée secuestrada una vez tras otra, mola jajajajajaja

2025 reread : I don't like fights, but the fight between Katakuri and Luffy is an exception. Maybe it's because Katakuri eats donuts in the middle of it?
I love everything surrounding Chiffon in this volume. Her helping with the cake is so badass. Bege coming to get her is super romantic. Pound seeing Pets is very bittersweet. I love it. I don't understand why Oda thinks he can't write romance.
First : I really like Bege and Chiffon as a couple. I don't know how, but Oda managed to give me several couples that I like in this arc and I appreciate it.
I also love a lot of characters here? First and for foremost Katakuri who is both an awful person and an awesome brother? Chiffon is just great, Brulée is fun and a total fangirl for Katakuri which I think is sweet. Chiffon's dad is very touching. I could go on. the level of detail is really impressive.
I also appreciate how Luffy is smart about his fight while staying himself. He understands that Katakuri is using his haki to avoid being touched by Luffy's attacks. Luffy is okay to flee the fight for a bit so he can come back stronger. Lots of things to like really.
And seeing Jinbei and Carrot showing great skills is also nice. I like that everyone gets moments to shine and they are not all about being good at punching people??? All the crew has different strength and they are all needed to make it through all the adventures Luffy pulls them into.

The fallout from the failed assassination attempt on Bug Mom, Sanji’s failed wedding, etc. continues with the Straw Hats separated and trying to stop Big Mom’s rampage and/or prevent her crew’s efforts to kill them all. In some ways I felt like this volume was going through the motions with the standard Luffy taking on a powerful foe, the Straw Hat crew split up again/attempts to move the plan forward without Luffy, Oda Sensei trying to move a lot of plotlines forward/build the mythology, etc.
But honestly the collective content of the volume is better than individual parts. Luffy vs Katakuri had its exciting moments with Luffy breaking through the latter's cool guy image and showing he’s not ineffable. Jinbe being able to get the Always Sunny through a tidal wave was a badass showcase of what he can do at the helm of a ship. Carrot having werewolf rabbit powers as a mink. Sanji ending all arguments by feeding someone his cake and making them fall in love with it. And Pound’s efforts to defend his daughter Chiffon and grandson was tragically badass.
Ultimately I say the volume does end on a much higher note.

Pido perdón a mis amiguitas, pero estoy en modo: tengo que ponerme al día antes de que el master me prohíba tener vida. Un besito.

There is a strong undercurrent of sexism and misogyny throughout all of one piece but Goddamn this volume is so painfully fatphobic as well.

La verdad es que noto un ligero bajón respecto al tomo anterior. A ver, me ha gustado mucho y me lo he pasado muy bien leyéndolo, pero hay algo que me falta en esta tomo y no sé que es. Creo que es que, si bien el tomo ha dejado, a grandes rasgos, buenos momentos, y a que la trama avanza a buen ritmo, s la saga le falta impactar más, que es algo que sucedía en anteriores arcos.
No obstante este volumen nos ha dejado algunos de ls mejores momentos de esta saga. El Luffy vs Katakuri se está poniendo muy intenso, Katakuri está resultando ser todo un personaje y me está encantando, tiene una forma de ser muy perfilada, lo que junto a sus enormes habilidades y el juego que está dando en su pelea contra Luffy le hace único. Me ha matado que con todo ese aura y fama de imperturbable, invencible y serio que tiene se construya una casa para comer donuts y poder relajarse en paz, pobrecito mío. Ahí se nota que es hijo de su madre y que la fama pesa.
Por otro lado lo del pastel de bodas me llama la atención más que nada por ver a Sanji en su salsa y por todo lo que ha pasado con el padre de Chiffon. Pobre hombre, que pena me ha dado y como me ha matado que solo su nieto, sin haberle visto nunca ni nada, le reconociera y llorara por él. El tipo ha sido uno de tantos héroes que ha dejado este manga. Lo de Pudding emocionada con Sanji me sigue recordando demasiado a Boa Hancock, y por ello ni gracia me hace.
Y por supuesto, junto al Luffy vs Katakuri, el gran momento del tomo ha sido Carrot en modo Sulong. No me lo esperaba para nada, ha sido una sorpresa muy agradable, y ello ha hecho que me guste tanto. Carrot es una chica que me cae muy bien desde que apareció, y está ayudando mucho a los mugiwaras. Pero eso era todo, hasta ahora no me llamaba la atención excepto por su personalidad tan diferente a las otras dos chicas del grupo y tan similar a Luffy. Pero desde ahora la seguiré con más atención y espero mucho de ella. Realmente espero que sean ciertos los rumores de que va a ser la nueva nakana de los mugiwaras, porque bien desarrollada puede aportar mucho a la banda en los momentos de acción y humor.
¿Que Whole Cake no es la mejor saga de “One Piece”? Pues no ¿Pero y qué? Yo, la verdad, es que me lo estoy pasando genial con ella, y estoy deseando leer su desenlace. Para mi no está resultando tan soporífera como había leído por internet hace tiempo, hay muchas cosas en ella que retienen mi atención.

i love the luffy and katakuri fight SO MUCH. it feels like such a different final arc fight than normal. he is learning fast, katakuri is a different kind of opponent, and they are just two dudes duking it out.
sanji is so hot when he is making this cake an being in command of the kitchen. My. Goat.

"Chiffon... Me alegra haberte podido ver, aunque sea una vez. Tengo la sensación de que te persigue alguien, pero pareces feliz, y eso me alegra. ¡Estaba tan preocupado! Estoy seguro de que tuviste días muy duros, y muy tristes. Lo siento por no haber podido estar a tu lado, Chiffon. Siempre llego tarde, pero aun así, quiero decirte... ¡Felicidades por tu matrimonio!"

Luffy vs Katakuri is the best fight in this series. I doubt it will be topped before the end, too.

Luffy and the rest of the crew have split up in order to get away from Whole Cake Island, but their many battles against the Big Mom pirates may be more than they can bear! Oda will shock, charm, and shake readers with this entry to the "One Piece" series. Everybody has a role to play, and some are going to have to reveal their more dangerous sides in order to survive!

The scene that Pound tried to serve Chiffon is impressing. Although Chiffon doesn’t know about Pound is her father, Pound wanted to serve his daughter and son. The title of this chapter “Somewhere, Someone is Wishing for Your Happiness” is much to this story. He was smiling at the last. I felt a little bit lonely.
