The answer
Chapter 850 · updated
Pudding betrays Luffy by revealing she tricked the group from the start and intends to massacre the Vinsmokes. In chapter 850 she waves goodbye while mockingly calling the group filthy rats and telling them to stay in their dreams. She laughs and taunts them as naive for believing in an evil army. Pudding states the plan succeeded because Sanji served as effective bait to lure the group. She reveals the entire Germa kingdom is parked inside their territory and declares the intent to massacre the entire Vinsmoke family during the wedding tomorrow.
