Summary

Big Mom's wrecking spree continues across Sweet City, and she casts aside Opera's drained body after stealing part of his lifespan. With head chef Streusen knocked unconscious by the fall, the family has no cake to calm her. Perospero seizes on a desperate trick, telling his mother that the fleeing pirates carry a spare wedding cake. The bluff lands and she charges off after them, though she vows to drain Perospero's years if the claim proves false.

Pudding then arrives proposing a fresh chocolate chiffon cake. She can supply the chocolate, Chiffon can bake the chiffon, and the remaining ingredients wait in Chocolat Town, so she suggests luring Big Mom toward Cacao Island. Out in the wilds, the crew aims to cut through the Seducing Woods and spots Kingbaum, stitched back together by his beloved Lady Tree.

Key Events

Nami wields her Vivre Card to bend Kingbaum to her will, revealing she tore it in half so Amande only ever held a fragment, and the tree homie hauls them through the forest. A swarm of vengeful pirates gives chase, with Big Mom herself bearing down atop Zeus. At the Germa stronghold, an attacker stumbles onto the clone factory before Germa 66 storms in and crushes the raiders. Katakuri slips aboard the Thousand Sunny through the Mirro-World.

Starving for her dessert, Big Mom raises her bicorne Napoleon, which morphs into a blade. She lets loose the devastating Ikoku, shearing away roughly a third of Kingbaum's body.
