Chapter 813

News of the marriage rattles the bound crew, and Bege points to Sanji's relatives as the ones who set it up. A memory surfaces for Nami, that the cook once claimed North Blue as his birthplace, which Brook flags as telling, since reaching East Blue from there demands crossing the Red Line. Caesar adds the dire stakes: a Charlotte union would bind the entire crew beneath Big Mom, an outcome the cook rejects outright.

Bege ties Sanji down and menaces the others, while Vito murmurs something that lights his fury. Asking for paper, Sanji slips Nami a note, then hurls Brook, Chopper, and Nami out of the castle and grabs Caesar at gunpoint. Concluding that whoever forced the Only Alive line onto his bounty also engineered this wedding, he agrees to leave alongside Bege. With Nekomamushi closing in outside, Bege speeds away carrying the cook and Caesar. The fallen note reads only that Sanji is off to see a woman and will come back.

Brook's unease signals that the Vinsmoke name carries a dreaded reputation. By Caesar's account, any Straw Hat married into Big Mom's family would make the whole crew her subordinates. The cook's Vinsmoke roots confirm he once had a way to travel from North Blue across the Red Line into East Blue. Vito's quiet words push Sanji to cooperate. Sanji presumes the wedding's planner is identical to whoever rewrote his capture terms. Bege leaves Pekoms behind in his flight, and the note first hinted at in Chapter 807 is finally displayed.

The cover visits Twin Cape, where Laboon is having a grand time. Animating the room's furnishings, Bege lashes the cook to his chair, aims cannons at the crew, and briefly drops Nami into the floor, while Vito describes Big Mom's invitations as orders no one may decline. Determined to face his history alone, Sanji throws his crewmates clear after he senses a strong presence. This is the second occasion on which the cook has parted from his crew by leaving a written note, the earlier instance having occurred at Water 7's Blue Station.
