No choice but to take Pudding at face value this time around, because the Straw Hats literally have no other options. With Katakuri waiting for them on the Sunny, as well as a mirror linked to 10,000 of Big Mom's forces, something has to happen so big that it immediately requires all the Big Mom Pirates' attention. Katakuri is determined to take on Luffy, so Big Mom's hunger being appeased alone shouldn't be enough to deter him from his goal, or the other forces from allowing the Sunny to leave their territory. Pudding can't wipe the memory of 10,000 people simultaneously......or can she? If not, the only other thing that makes sense to me is that Big Mom does something extremely heinous to her family, and it requires all their attention. If Pudding and Chiffon make the cake, that doesn't absolve the Straw Hats of the chaos they caused. There is still the possiblity of Sanji helping, and that perhaps endearing them to the BM Pirates a little, but that still shouldn't forgive EVERYTHING. Very excited to see how this all ends.
