You’re standing in a grand, candy-coated room deep within Whole Cake Island, dressed in formal wedding clothes you didn’t pick, as Big Mom’s laughter echoes around you. The air is thick with the scent of sugary sweets, but all you feel is dread as you look at the rows of Big Mom’s crew, all watching eagerly. Pudding stands beside you, smiling that carefully practiced smile as she holds onto your arm.

As the reality of the situation sets in, you try to keep your face steady, but inside, your mind is racing. You’d heard rumors of Big Mom’s infamous “wedding traps,” but this? Marrying her daughter, Pudding, to save the crew? It’s madness. Yet refusing isn’t an option—one wrong move, and she’ll execute your friends on the spot.

You glance back at the crew, all restrained and glaring at the Big Mom Pirates standing guard. Luffy, despite his restraints, is shouting defiantly, struggling against his chains with everything he’s got.

“Don’t do it!” he yells. “We’ll find a way out of here without their dumb marriage!”

But you know better. Big Mom’s forces are too many, her children too powerful, and without Sanji or Brook at your side, escaping is nearly impossible.

Then, Big Mom steps forward, her wide grin sending a chill down your spine.

“Hmhmhm! So, you’re ready to join my family, aren’t you, Straw Hat?” Her eyes gleam, and you can tell she’s enjoying every second of this twisted game. “And don’t think for a second that you’ll get out of this marriage. If you so much as hesitate, well…” She points to the crew, her fingers snapping in signal, and her soldiers raise their weapons.

Big Mom’s laughter shakes the entire hall, and her grip on your fate tightens like a noose. You feel trapped, but you can see the resolve in your crew’s eyes. They won’t let this end here. This marriage may be the price for now, but you know the Straw Hats will find a way to escape, no matter what.
