One Piece Chapter 850: Ray of Hope

In a lush jungle setting with a glowing waterfall, Monkey D. Luffy stands on a large striped creature, reaching upward with a vine in hand while wearing his straw hat and backpack. A woman with long dark hair in a pink fur-trimmed jacket stands nearby, smiling and waving. Smaller figures are visible in the background among giant mushrooms and trees.

The official chapter title page displays the One Piece logo and reads 'CHAPTER 850: Ray of Hope'. In the center, Smoker sits heavily on a bench under a 'SMOKING AREA' sign, smoking two cigars with smoke billowing around him. Tashigi's sheathed sword rests nearby. Snow falls over a wooden building in the background. Text at the bottom notes a cover-art request: 'A HEBI (SNAKE) AND SMOKER, TWO HEAVY SMOKERS, HAVE ENDED UP BEING KICKED OUT INTO A SMOKING AREA. TOTTORI PREFECTURE PN. ZHONGYUAN RD.'

Panic erupts across Sweet City. Citizens flee in terror as a giant black-spotted sphere creature rampages through the streets. Luffy shouts 'WOAH!!' while a voice cries 'KYAH HHH!'. A sign reads 'SWEET CITY.'. Multiple panels show residents screaming 'AGHHH!', 'IT'S A PARANORMAL CREATURE!!', 'NOPE!', 'NOO OOO OO!!', and 'GYAAAAAH!'. Big Mom Pirates members react in horror. Chopper and others are caught in the chaos as the creature causes widespread destruction. A voice yells 'KYAHHHHH! NOT HERE, EITHER.'

In the chaotic mirrored dimension, a large man in a cap and coat yells while riding a speeding vehicle, "THERE'LL BE NO END TO THIS IF WE LOOK FOR IT ON OUR OWN! DIESEL, HAVE YOU GOT ANY IDEAI!" Diesel snaps back, "NO!...FUCKING GODDAMN IT!" Nearby voices shout, "WHERE ARE THEYI! WAKE UP, BRÛLÉE! WHERE IS THE CASTLEI!" Brûlée lies dazed on the ground as the group races through the reflective passages. In the next panel Brûlée recalls, "I REMEMBER THAT LUFFY AND NAMI WERE PLANNING ON HEADING TO THE CASTLE... BUT I WONDER IF THEY WERE ABLE TO MEET UP WITH SANJII" The others explain, "WE CAN FREELY PASS THROUGH THE INSIDE AND OUTSIDE WORLDS OF MIRRORS. AS LONG AS WE ARE IN PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH BRÛLÉE, THIS PLACE IS CONNECTED TO ALL THE MIRRORS THAT EXIST AROUND WHOLE CAKE ISLAND... SO IN THEORY, IT SHOULD BE EASY TO INSTANTLY ENTER THE CASTLE AS WELL!" Someone repeatedly yells, "WAKE UP, BRÛLÉE!"

Inside Sanji's guestroom, Sanji stands at the counter preparing food while thinking, "...PRETTY SURE PUDDING WOULDN'T TYPICALLY EAT SOMETHING VULGAR LIKE THIS. WHAT AM I DOINGI!" He reacts with surprise, "...AH, RATS!!" A woman with curly hair and a hat appears, asking, "WHAT'S WRONG-NAS WITH YOUI" She offers, "YES PLEEEASE♡ HAHA, JUST KIDDING! HERE, HAVE SOME TOO, SANJI♡" Sanji replies, "I CAN'T POSSIBLY EAT THIS MUCH FOOD!" The woman insists, "I'LL EAT WHATEVER ENDS UP BEING LEFT OVER....WELL, OH WELL." Sanji later stands holding a bouquet of roses, saying, "I SUPPOSE, YEAH. JUST GONNA STEP OUT REAL QUICK TO GO GET SOME HEALING POWER FROM MY ONLY RAY OF HOPE IN THIS ENTIRE WORLD!" The woman asks, "ARE YOU GOING OUT FOR A WALKI"

In the prisoner's library, Luffy is tied up and struggling as Nami restrains him. A voice warns, "...POINTLESS STRUGGLING." Nami shouts, "STOP IT, LUFFY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOINGI!" Luffy yells back while bleeding, "THAT'S THE POINT!" Nami continues, "QUIT IT! YOU'RE GONNA RIP YOUR HANDS OFF IF YOU KEEP DOING THAT!" Luffy roars, "HNGGG GGG!!! I'D RATHER LOSE A HAND OR TWO THAN DIE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS!" Nami cries out in shock, "DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER CHOICE TO GET OUT OF HEREI! WHATI!"

Luffy and Nami continue their heated argument. Nami yells, "AFTER THAT, BIG MOM IS GONNA COME AND KILL US! WHAT A JOKE! THAT'S TOTALLY NOT HOW I'D LIKE TO MEET MY END!" Luffy retorts, "WHILE WE SIT HERE AND WAIT, DAYDREAMING FOR SOMEONE TO COME MAGICALLY SAVE US... EVERYTHING WILL BE OVER BEFORE WE KNOW IT!" Nami demands, "I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR HANDS GETTING RIPPED OFF EITHER, YOU FUCKING TWAT! STOP THAT THIS INSTANT! QUIT COMPLAINING!" Luffy fires back, "THEN I'LL FIGURE YOUR SITUATION OUT AFTER I'M DONE! QUIT MAKING A HUGE FUSS! THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOUI! HELL NO! YOU RIP YOUR HANDS OFF TOO, NAMI!" In a massive close-up, Luffy shouts with intense expression, "...WHO'S GONNA END IN A PLACE LIKE THIS! I'M NOT A MAN..." Nami screams, "KYAAAH!"

In the 3rd floor courtyard, a massive scream echoes across the ornate architecture as "わああああああああ" fills the air. Baron Tamago and Pedro clash violently. Baron Tamago, labeled "KNIGHT" AND FIGHTER OF THE BIG MOM PIRATES BARON TAMAGO BOUNTY: 400,002,900₩, lunges with a furious expression while Pedro, labeled EX-CAPTAIN OF THE NOX PIRATES PEDRO BOUNTY: 300,008,200₩, roars back with bared fangs. Their brutal exchange ends in a massive impact as "バキ" erupts, sending both fighters flying apart amid debris and shockwaves.

Pedro is hurled backward as Baron Tamago shouts "FLOAT" while spinning him through the air. Onlookers including Pekoms react with shock. Baron Tamago snarls, "THIS TIME, YOU'RE NOT GETTING AWAY WITH LOSING JUST AN EYE!" Pedro and Zepo exchange tense words as Pekoms demands, "PEKOMS... IS IT TRUE THAT YOU'RE AFFILIATED WITH THE BIG MOM PIRATESI" Baron Tamago presses further, "YOU'VE REALLY DONE IT NOW, THIEF!" The fight intensifies with rapid strikes and "バキ" impacts as the combatants clash mid-air.

Baron Tamago taunts the fallen Zepo, "COME, HAND OVER THE REMAINING 70 YEARS FROM YOUR LIFE!" and "THIS FELLA OVER HERE ONLY HAD 30 YEARS LEFT, THOUGH." Zepo cries out in agony. The roulette spins as Baron Tamago declares, "AND LANDED THE '100 YEARS OF LIFE' OPTION FOR YOU. YOUR FRIEND OVER HERE SPUN THE ROULETTE..." A massive spinning attack follows with "ギャギャギャギャッ!!" and "バキ" effects. Baron Tamago continues, "ON TOP OF THAT... YOU'RE INCAPABLE OF REACHING NEARLY AS FAR AS I CAN-BON." Pekoms yells, "I'M STILL FURIOUS AT YOU FOR ROBBING TAMAGO OF AN EYE, THOUGH... SO FESS UP 60 YEARS, KID!" and "QUIT SOBBING LIKE A BABY, PEKOMS! FINE, I'LL ROUND IT DOWN A DECADE." Pedro stands firm, "I AM WEARING TIGHTS THAT PREVENT ELECTRO FROM WORKING ON MY BODY!" while Pekoms adds, "GAO! MAMA, HE'S LIKE A BROTHER TO ME!"

Big Mom laughs, "MAMAMAMA, I'M LOVING THAT SPIRIT OF YOURS! I'VE DECIDED TO LET YOU OFF THE HOOK WITH JUST 50 YEARS." Pedro shouts, "GO ON... LIVE!" as Baron Tamago declares, "'THE DAWN OF THIS WORLD' IS NEAR! I MUST RETURN TO MY COUNTRY!" Pedro reacts in shock. Baron Tamago unleashes a devastating spinning kick labeled "LEGG BENEDICT" with massive "オン" impact, sending Pedro flying. He demands, "WHY DID YOU EVER RETURN TO THE HELLISH LAND WHERE YOU LOST YOUR PARTNER AND 50 WHOLE YEARS OF YOUR PRECIOUS LIFEI! WHY DID YOU EVER RETURNI!" and "ANSWER ME-BON, PEDRO!"

A mustached man with a fierce glare thinks aloud, "THOSE PEOPLE... WILL ONE DAY, SURPASS EVEN THE LIKES OF US... AND CHANGE THIS WORLD!" Another figure in a dark cloak sits amid rubble and declares, "JUDGING FROM THIS, I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE THE PEOPLE WHO WILL CAUSE THE WORLD TO TRANSITION INTO ITS 'DAWN'! COUGH! THE STRAW HAT PIRATES... ARE SAVIOURS OF MY PRECIOUS HOMETOWN!" The cloaked speaker continues, "WITH THOUGHTS LIKE THIS IN MIND, I DON'T FEEL THE LEAST BIT OF REGRET FOR THROWING AWAY THE REMAINDER OF MY LIFE LIKE THIS." A tall figure in a top hat stands nearby holding a staff. The mustached man suddenly roars in defiance, "DON'T GET ME WRONG THOUGH. I DEFINITELY DON'T PLAN ON DYING IN THIS SPOT!" The scene erupts into chaos as the mustached man is struck violently, blood and impact lines filling the panel while he yells, "I HAVE NO INTENTION OF DYING HERE!" A final narration box states, "UNTIL THE STRAW HATS MANAGE TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS ON THIS ISLAND..."

In a grand stone hallway, voices call out, "LADY PUDDING IS B.U.S.Y. RIGHT NOW!" "NO, IDIOT!" "COME ON!" "IN FRONT OF PUDDING'S ROOM." Sanji stands in the corridor, thinking, "...IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, PUDDING'S ROOM HAD A BALCONY." Pudding's face looms close with a wide grin, shouting, "NO, YOU IDIOT! I WON'T LET YOU OPEN ME UP! NOW, GO AWAY! IT'LL ONLY TAKE ME A SECOND TO HAND HER A GIFT!" Sanji hesitates, "...BUT MAYBE IT'D BE A BIT RUDE FOR ME TO... Y'KNOW... INTRUDE ON HER PRIVACY AND ALL. SO I'D SAY IT'D BE ACCEPTABLE EVEN IF I ENDED UP WITNESSING HER IN THE MIDDLE OF CHANGING... OR EVEN JUST COMPLETELY NAKED! BUT I MEAN, WE ARE GETTING MARRIED TOMORROW..." Outside in the rain, Sanji approaches a large wooden door marked with a "G" and thinks, "I'LL JUST HAND HER THIS GIFT THROUGH THE WINDOW."

Rain pours heavily outside as sound effects read "PITTER PATTER..." and Japanese SFX for the downpour. Through a window, Charlotte Pudding laughs wildly, "AHAHA-HAHA...!" Sanji watches from outside and wonders, "HMI WHO'S SHE TALKING WITHI" Pudding continues, "WOAH, THAT'S FANTASTIC! SEEMS LIKE SHE'S IN ENOUGH OF A GOOD MOOD TO LAUGH. UFU FUFU!" Inside, Reiju stands visible as Pudding addresses her. Sanji reacts with shock, "AHAHA-HA... HOW FUNNY! WHAT'S GOING O-... REIJU! WHY IS SHE HEREI!" Reiju looks on with a serious expression while Pudding's laughter echoes, "HUHI"

Charlotte Pudding's face fills the panel with a manic grin and wide eyes as she shouts, "QUIT DREAMING, YOU FOOL! ME, MARRYING THAT LITTLE PUNKI!" Sound effects crash around her. In the next scene she continues, "BUT WHEN MAMA ASKED ME TO TRICK THAT MAN, I KNEW IT WOULD BE AN EASY TASK! THE STRAW HATS ENDED UP BEING QUITE SIMPLE-MINDED, TOO. SHE'S BEEN PAMPERING ME SO MUCH LATELY THAT I'M ACTUALLY STARTING TO GET A LITTLE SICK OF HER! I'M ONE OF MAMA'S 'FAVORITES', YOU KNOWI SHE ESPECIALLY LOVES HOW GOOD I AM AT ACTING. MY FAMILY MEMBERS ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO KNOW MY TRUE NATURE." Sanji stares in stunned silence, sweat dropping as he thinks, "NEVER IN A BILLION YEARS!" with visible shock lines and "!!!" reactions.

In the ruined prisoner's library, Pudding stands with a bright smile and declares, "...SO DON'T WORRY. I WON'T BE MARRYING SANJI." Luffy, bloodied and furious, roars from the rubble, "I'LL NEVER FORGIVE HER EITHER!" and "FUCKING PUDDING..." as someone off-panel pleads, "LUFFY, STOP! YOU'RE SERIOUSLY GOING TO INJURE YOURSELF!" Pudding continues with a sly expression, "IS BECAUSE THAT SNOT-NOSED IDIOT WHO'S HEAD OVER HEELS FOR ME RIGHT NOW... THE REASON WHY I'LL NEVER MARRY HIM..." Luffy glares with wide eyes and growls, "LISTEN." Pudding leans in close and warns, "YOU KIDS AREN'T GONNA GET OUT OF HERE ALIVE, EITHER." Luffy reacts with shock, "!!!I" Pudding smiles sweetly and finishes, "IS GONNA GET SHOT TO DEATH BY ME... DURING THE WEDDING CEREMONY!"

Luffy explodes in rage, "WHAT DID SANJI EVER DO TO HERI! THAT FUCKING BITCH!" and "THAT BASTARD WAS PLANNING ON TRICKING US FROM THE START!" Pudding waves goodbye with a grin, "GOOD-BYE... YOU FILTHY LITTLE RATS!" She laughs and taunts the group, "STAY IN YOUR DREAMS LIKE THE IDIOTS YOU ARE!" and "YOU ALL ARE NAIVE! AN 'EVIL ARMY', YOU SAYI HAHAHA!" In the grand hall, Reiju stands before Big Mom as Pudding continues, "OH, ARE YOU TRYING TO DISS ME NOWI IF YOU HAVE NOTHING NICE TO SAY, I WON'T LISTEN... TO A WORD YOU SAY." Reiju replies, "...WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PERSONALITY YOU HAVE." Pudding explains, "SHE NEEDS TO GET HER HANDS ON THE 'SCIENCE'. YOU ALL ARE IN POSSESSION OF! MAMA'S AIM FROM THE START IS TO GET HER HANDS ON A 'CLONEABLE ARMY'."

Pudding lounges confidently and states, "IT'S JUST AS PLANNED. WITH BAIT AS SWEET AS SANJI... IT'S NO WONDER WE'VE MANAGED TO LURE IN ALL OF YOU PUNY FLIES!" She adds, "THE ENTIRETY OF THE GERMA KINGDOM IS PARKED RIGHT HERE, WITHIN OUR TERRITORY." Sanji glares back as Pudding declares, "KNOW THAT WE PLAN ON MASSACRING... DURING THE WEDDING TOMORROW..." Sanji's eyes widen in horror as the narration proclaims, "THE ENTIRE VINSMOKE FAMILY!" The final panel shows Sanji beaten and bloodied amid rubble with the caption, "NOT A SINGLE RAY OF HOPE, LEFT IN THIS WORLD."
