One Piece, Chapter 856: Liar
Well, that was a pretty fun, if predictable, meeting between Luffy and Sanji. Sanji gives Luffy the food, Luffy eats and becomes healthy, Sanji's filled with self-loathing and lists all the reasons why he should be left behind (he doesn't have the heart to let his family die? What a nice person he is -- I certainly would've saved only Reiju, buggered off and not looked back if I was in Sanji's position) and then Luffy does a great big punch, telling Sanji to tell the truth -- and he does. It's a pretty cool, emotional and, well, somewhat predictable moment where he cries about how he wants to go back to the Sunny, but he's just not strong enough to either run away from there, nor is he strong enough to fight Big Mom and his family all alone. Luffy, of course, goes all "well, that's just you! We're here for you!" and all that jazz.
It's pretty much as good as it can get, mostly because it's a confrontation we can see coming from miles away. Still good, though.
Meanwhile, the rest of the chapter has the gang in the mirror world discuss where Luffy and Sanji's going to meet, the Vinsmoke men are being horrible jackasses who're drinking and thinking about getting Nami (an 'it') for themselves while cheering about Sanji the 'dud', Big Mom is freaking cuddling with the fake Brook... apparently Pekoms is alive, and has informed Jinbe of the plot. Well, we never saw the body and his 'death' literally came out of nowhere, so his survival isn't a big surprise. What else? There was a random page of Bobbin, who recovered last issue... collapsing in the rain, because someone shot him? That was weird.
Overall, a pretty decent chapter. The Sanji-Luffy meeting needed to take up a good chunk of it, and there's not a ton that I can really talk about on that front.
