Chapter 853

Chapter 853 is titled "Not Here!".

Short Summary
In Whole Cake Chateau's Hall of Treasures, Big Mom admires a captured Brook as her chess soldiers search Brook's belongings. After Big Mom learns that nothing has been stolen, Pudding arrives and asks to speak to her mother in private.

In the third floor courtyard, Tamago and Pedro continue their duel. Tamago begins to undergo a series of transformations, but an impatient Pedro reveals and sets off explosives hidden on his person. To his great surprise, he is pulled into the Mirror World by Chopper and Carrot just before the courtyard explodes. Carrot shows the mirrors her portraits of Sanji, Luffy, Brook and Nami, and is informed by one mirror that Nami is with Jinbei.

On the third floor, Luffy noisily continues to search for Sanji. As Luffy passes the infirmary, Reiju pulls him into the medical room and informs him that her brother is aware of Pudding's deceptions. A relieved Luffy thanks Reiju before jumping out the window, landing on a citizen's house. Recovering slightly, Luffy starts making his way back to the place where he had promised to be waiting for Sanji.

Elsewhere in the Chateau, a solitary Sanji assesses his situation before deciding that he cannot turn back now.
