Ass shot of Smoothie and her thong. Wasn't expecting that. Thanks Oda.

Pretty heartwarming stuff, I always knew Reiju was good but this made her my favorite new character introduced this arc. Especially hearing that she had some suspicions about Pudding too, and that she doesn't agree with how her family does things. To me it screams that she's gonna make it outta there alive somehow, and by extension, the Vinsmokes too. Yeah Sanji hates them, but he's still has a kind enough heart to not WILLINGLY let them die. It upsets me that they may be saved, because that thus might eliminate the opportunity for Sanji to kick their faces in, but it still makes sense for Sanji's character to not let them die.

Reiju's speech to him was what really got me, because I got chills thinking of how fired up Sanji's getting. Still not exactly sure how this is all gonna go down though. We're over the despair portion of the arc and are on to the heroic rescue pending, but Oda's formula usually includes at least another turn for the worst before our heroes become victorious. Smoothie hinted at Big Mom going apeshit (c'mon, we know she definitely will now somehow), but I don't think it'll be that. I think her flipping out is probably gonna benefit the Straw Hats. I instead think she's got another dastardly trick up her sleeve to try and eliminate the rescue effort so that the Tea Party can still happen the next day.

Finally, another small tidbit that caught my curiousity was Reiju talking about Ichiji, Niji, and Yonji. In the panel they show them as what loos like toddlers, but it also appears that there's some small allusion to their power behind them. "Electric Blue" Niji has some bolts behind him, but we already saw that in action. "Sparking Red" Ichiji has something that looks like fire/explosion, and I don't really see anything behind Yonji. Still not sure what the heck "Wench Green" is gonna play out to be.
