Pudding's Determination - Ablaze! The Seducing Woods

Shaken by a hit from Big Mom, Nami pushes the tree homie Kingbaum to keep living for the sake of his beloved Lady Tree. The appeal works, and he tears forward faster than before. Watching the manipulation unfold, Pedro likens Nami to a devil, and a thrilled Carrot, standing beside him, roots for her all the same. Their pursuer has not let up, so Luffy braces to fight, only for Nami to stop him, claiming she has a scheme ready. Licking her lips, she works the Sorcery Clima-Tact and lets fly a spread of Black Balls, weather orbs packed with thunderclouds, just as the attack resumes. Thunder, she insists, is drawn to thunder. Zeus duly peels off after the trail of orbs, and Big Mom drops to the ground.

Relieved of his rider's weight, Kingbaum gains the Seducing Woods, where the homies part to open a straight lane carrying him toward the shore and the waiting Thousand Sunny. Away from the chase, Pudding catches up with Bege's group and asks Chiffon for help, declaring her intent to stand against Big Mom and rescue Sanji along with his companions. Elsewhere, flames from Prometheus engulf Kingbaum, while the crew spreads itself out to spring an ambush from every angle of the woods.

The broadcast layers in more footage of the Vinsmoke Family trading blows with their foes, a stretch where Luffy, Sanji, and Pedro fend off attacking homies as Kingbaum barrels through, Pedro lighting Sanji's cigarette with Electro afterward, and Nami voicing worry for the tree homie an instant before Prometheus crushes him. The installment belongs to the Whole Cake Island Arc and first aired on July 14, 2018.
