Title: Capone Gang Bene
Release Date: app. January 15, 2016
Release Date: app. January 15, 2016
Chapter 812 came out and the hype is ... just WOW.
Before that, I want to mention something interesting I read about the similarity between Sanji and a character from a Japanese tale, Genji.
Genji monogatari is a tale about a son of an emperor and a beautiful but low-ranking concubine. For political reasons, the emperor removes Genji from the line of successors and he is considered to be a commoner only. His mother then dies and Genji doesn't take his mother's death well. He tries to "fill this void" by meeting and trying to fall in love with other women. His life is...well, pretty much about women and women. He falls in love with his stepmother and later even has a son with her. He takes a liking to a young girl named Murasaki, who is by the way his stepmother's niece and later also marries her. Before that, he was married to another girl, named Aoi. He and Aoi were on bad terms but they reconcile, though soon after she gives birth to a son, she dies.
... There is more to a story but..well, it's quite complicated from here on out.
What does it have to do with Sanji though? First of all, the theme of "falling in love with other women" is very strong in this one. Not only that, but Genji also had an arranged marriage with Aoi, the same like how Sanji has an arranged marriage with Purrin.
Since Sanji was not wanted so much...like, he was not so easily recognized... I feel like he isn't 100% pure blood high rank, so he might be like Genji, whose mom died young and since that time, he was meeting other women to ease the pain inside him.
This is pretty much all about the theory I found about the similarity between Genji and Sanji. I think it is very possible there is some kind of story about Sanji's mother, but we won't know for sure until we see more in the upcoming chapters. After all, Oda said 2016 will be Sanji's year, so there is a lot in store for us ^^

With all this development, I am pretty confident to say that Big Mom showdown/Sanji arc will take place now, while Kaido arc/possible Wano country arc will follow later on. It actually makes more sense and keeps the hype very high, in comparison if Oda just went in for Wano country.
Now to the chapter!
Ping ping ping! The front cover has Nami-san! As always, she has a beautiful wanted poster. How does this girl even do it? Geez!

The mystery behind Wanda's clothes are finally revealed. The exchange of clothes is a sign of friendship from the minks and lucky~ Nami got her hands on something very valuable. (and may I chime in, she looks charming in that. She is also less revealing this way.)
Sanji-san also can't help it but have this kind of reaction.. seriously, Cook-san, even I would be scared if I saw your reaction. You look like you are about to jump on something. I mean... is it normal to have nosebleed and even drool like that?
Momo has yet to show up since the time the crew reunited. For the time being, it's a good thing he is sleeping in a room (while in his dragon form), otherwise I don't know how will minks be able to deal with a real samurai on their teritorry.
Brook's fanbase with mostly canines is kinda scary. They would literally eat him up.
Caesar is also helping out with medicine despite his apparent reluctance. Also, a great reply from him when a mink called him. Caedar? Seriously? XD it reminds me of a type of cheese that is called "Cheddar".

This is cheddar:
Thank god the Big Mom pirate's Pekom realized soon that it wasn't SH's fault, but the Beasts pirates' fault Zou ended this way.
The crew later sees the arrival of Capone and Pekoms. Sanji is prepared to face them but Caesar would rather not. He is even willing to team up with Sanji and assassinate them.
Sanji has no intention to fight the pirates due to the fact the minks are injured from the battle and it wouldn't be wise to drag them in their own business.
Pekoms surprisingly has no desire to fight, as he realizes how Straw Hats saved his hometown. He is grateful to he point he can lie to Big Mom for them. However, Capone does not share his sentiments.
Pekoms is soon shot in the backs by Capone. You might argue it's not possible for him to be taken down so easily, but look. He was obviously too happy his hometown is not a complete wreck and let his guard down due to having so many emotions. And that is the moment Capone used and stroke him in the back.
Capone displays his DF ability and his bounty is revealed to be 300kk beri. If you read it as 3 billion, it was due to another scanlation's mistake.
Capone knows full well the crew intends no fight and he uses it against them. Not only that, he also finds Nami and Chopper hiding.
And the last one to drop from the sky ... is no one else but Caesar himself.
Now, some of you might not believe the SH couldn't kick Capone's butt with the help of Caesar or something.
First of all, both sides did not want to cause a big scene. They didn't want to drag minks into their business and make a bigger mess on Zou than there already is. And the SH didn't know Capone could store up men in his body. No wonder they couldn't fight back once they were outnumbered.
Why didn't Caesar do something with his gas then? Easy answer. They threatened to kill him with Seastone bullets, which I don't think are like the usual bullets and can in fact go through Logia's body or something. It's just like threatening a normal civilian with a gun.

The most shocking truth of all the truths have been revealed: Sanji is a son of some Vinsmock family. Not only that, but he has an arranged marriage with someone from Charlotte family.
Now, not to jump into conclusions. We are still unsure what that "Vinsmock" family is. However, it is pretty clear that it must have some influence,because Sanji's wanted poster changed from Wanted: "Dead ot Alive" to "Only Alive". They are probably somehow tied with the World Government, or at least have influence on them.
It's a bit surprising they weren't able to recognize Sanji from his former wanted poster... like, I don't think many characters out there bear "Sanji" name, have blond hair and swirly brows. It makes me wonder whether that Vinsmock family really wants him back, or just.. wants to use him for their own good. I just feel like Sanji ran from them and they kinda didn't care about it anyway.

Great chapter! 10 out of 10. I was expecting for Sanji to be from some high class family, but that marriage...godness. That was too unexpected. The tension built up until the last page and believe it or not, it now makes me want the chapter to be released faster than before xD the One Piece feels are back... Sanji arc is surely starting very well!
Here is another theory: http://www.onepiecegold.com/vinsmock-family/15/
I think the author jumped into conclusions about Sanji's supposed brothers quickly, but otherwise... some points are possible to happen/be real. Well, it's just a theory anyway xD
So, what do you think about the chapter - and Sanji's marriage arrangment in general? Pretty shocking, right?
