## One Piece Chapter 872, pages 17-18: Soft and Fluffy - Chapter: 872 - Pages: 17-18 - Characters: Capone Bege, Luffy, Sanji, Caesar Clown, Capone Pez, Nami, Jinbe, Brook, Chopper, Katakuri, Daifuku, Pudding, Big Mom ### Summary Page 17: The two crews formally split. Bege points the Straw Hats toward their route with "GODSPEED, GENTLEMEN!" while Sanji and Luffy hold a sign marked "STRAW HATS WENT THAT WAY." Caesar fires back, "QUIT IT WITH THE STUPID GAGS!" and someone shouts, "SHUT UP! THAT'S FOR OUR SURVIVAL!" Bege's own group prepares the "CASTLE TANK!" He tells them, "THE REAL ESCAPE STARTS NOW!" and warns, "DON'T GET ALL CHUMMY WITH THEM!" Pez cries, "FATHER! AT LEAST LET US SAY GOODBYE!" while someone adds, "I BECAME PRETTY CLOSE WITH NAMI, YOU KNOW!" The Straw Hats decide their own next steps. Luffy says, "OKAY, WE'LL GO GET THE SHARK SUBMERGE AND TAKE IT BACK TO THE SUNNY!" Another replies, "OKAY! BE CAREFUL!" and they remind each other, "WE GOTTA GET GOING, TOO! OFF TO THAT COAST WE FIRST LANDED ON!" Page 18: Back among the Big Mom Pirates, Katakuri gives the pursuit its structure. He orders, "FORM UP TWO SQUADS, DAIFUKU." One squad has a clear target: "WE'LL SPLIT INTO TWO GROUPS AND PURSUE THEM. ONE PARTY WILL BE AFTER STRAW HAT'S HEAD!" The second order is just as direct: "AND THE REST OF YOU, BRING BACK BEGE'S!" Daifuku answers with force, "RAAAAAAARGH!" Pudding tries to calm Big Mom, saying, "MAMA, DON'T WORRY! WE WON'T LET A SINGLE ONE OF THEM GET..." but Big Mom's mind has shifted. Her eyes spiral, and she mutters, "CAKE... WE SELECTED THE INGREDIENTS SO CAREFULLY... THE BEST WEDDING CAKE EVER... I WANTED TO EAT IT SO BADLY..." The chapter ends as the symptom breaks out: "CAKE!" "MAMA?!" "WEDDING." The note says, "THESE SYMPTOMS ARE..." leaving Big Mom's craving to become the next disaster.
