## One Piece Chapter 873, pages 8-9: Trapped Like Sweets in a Cage - Chapter: 873 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Charlotte Perospero, Big Mom, Smoothie, Straw Hat Pirates, Zeus, Prometheus ### Summary Page 8: Perospero calculates that Big Mom should still be able to hear him: "SHE SHOULD STILL BE ABLE TO HEAR TO SOME EXTENT!! IF SHE GOES AFTER THEM, IT'LL BE TWO-BIRDS-WITH ONE STONE!!" Big Mom repeats the bait, "WEDDING CAKE...!!" while her children watch in fear. Smoothie asks, "STEERING HER AWAY... IS IT POSSIBLE?" Perospero insists, "THAT'S RIGHT!! THEY HAVE IT!!!" Big Mom accepts the direction but not without threatening him. She roars, "IF YOU'RE LYING...!!! YOU'LL DEFINITELY PAY FOR IT WITH YOUR LIFESPAN...!!!" The word "SWIRL" marks her unstable fixation as she turns toward the supposed cake. Perospero smiles because the lie may save Totland, but if the Straw Hats do not produce cake, his own life becomes the price. Page 9: Big Mom launches after the imaginary wedding cake. Zeus carries her forward as she screams, "WEDDING CAAAAAKKKEEEEE!!!" and the cloud answers, "YES, MAMA!!" The sun homie watches her go with a long "ZEEEUUUSSS!!" Big Mom's face is wild with hunger, not strategy, and the destroyed town recedes behind her. The page shows the success of Perospero's redirection in the most dangerous form possible: Big Mom has stopped destroying the capital for the moment, but now the full force of her craving is aimed at the Straw Hats' escape route. The pursuit has become less organized, but far more catastrophic.
