Hanata, you seem very passionate about this turn of events so I have a theory to propose to you. A few other people have theorized that Purin really is secretly evil and is trying to game Sanji into going through with the wedding while keeping the Straw Hats away from him; however, Sanji's proven himself to be the strategist and tactician of the Straw Hats, and if the former is true it seems likely that he's seen through her facade (the panel of him staring at her after she promises to not let their marriage turn into hell is very ambiguous), so would you have a reversal of opinion on what happened in this chapter if, however many chapters down the line, it was revealed that Sanji was in fact gaming Purin and her family to buy time for his crew to come up with a plan without extensive interference from both the Big Mom Pirates (Enraged Army aside, lel) and his own family? Because while I agree that his actions in this chapter feel very strange, much like Purin's description of her supposed first encounter with him, they would make a lot more sense as part of a lie.
