One Piece, Chapter 880: Chance of Escape 0%
Well, the first half of the chapter was quite uneventful. The Pudding being charismatic and fooling everyone in town was a bit too long and ultimately pointless since she memory-fruits everyone anyway (though the excuse to bring Chiffon into the city is well-told), and obviously Pudding's bullshit dual-personality deal is absolutely unfunny repeated fifteen ways to death. They're at least making the cake using Sanji's Toriko-level improbable taste-memorizing skills, which means progress on that front. It just probably didn't need half the chapter... though Pudding's random middle finger is hilarious.
The second half focuses mostly on Luffy trying to escape from Katakuri. Well, not exactly escape, but to cut off Brulee and the other lesser Big Mom Pirates from sending an invasion force to burn down the Sunny from other mirrors. So Luffy isn't just fighting the far-stronger Katakuri, but also trying to seal the mirror plot devices from the other pirates. We did get some cool bits of Katakuri laying mochi kicks onto Luffy, but Luffy mostly fights a losing battle as he jumps around and avoids Katakuri's kicks and shit, communicating with Nami over a shard of mirror and telling them to break all the mirrors on the Sunny no matter what. Oh, and there were these two random long-necked Charlotte children who aren't relevant at all.
And then we get the final page, where Big Mom arrives, riding on a gigantic tsunami homie that looks absolutely badass for a wave with a goofy, silly cartoon face. Overall, pretty average chapter -- nothing quite as hype as the previous one.
