Hi! I really love your analyses regarding Sanji and Nami and as a newbie fan I enjoy scrolling thru your posts very much!!! I have a question about Pudding. Do you think her recent capture in chapter 1064 has to do anything with her romantic plotline with Sanji in future or is there a chance that whole this kidnapping thing is just a set-up by Oda for Pudding and Sanji's further development in case he saves her from Blackbeards? Thanks in advance, love you!! <33
Hi, Anon! Thanks for your kind words. ^^
Hopefully you're still around, just saw this message at my box, it was from November 2023. So, sorry for the very late reply as I'm not that much active here anymore. I'm on the SanNami discord though.
So, regarding Pudding, recently, on chapter 1121, it was hinted that the three-eyed race is one of the persecuted races by the World Government. I think her kidnapping will be used to explore that part of the One Piece lore, concerning the three-eyed clan and its mysterious powers.
Maybe Oda will stop at that and make her involvement in the future story simply non-romantic and she will be just a victim of the Blackbeard pirates.
But I reckon that there are good chances Sanji might be involved in some sort of rescue and, considering that she was in love with him when she said good-bye, it might lead to some romantic development between them.
Hopefully that could trigger Nami to make a move, if she realizes that she might have feelings for Sanji.
