You arrive on Whole Cake Island under Big Mom’s watchful eye, officially invited to reunite with your childhood friend Pudding, and to help her in the kitchen. Her older brother Cracker is assigned to keep an eye on you.

He makes it very clear he’s not thrilled about this activity. Standing near the kitchen doorway with crossed arms, biscuit soldiers posted discreetly around the halls, he watches every move you make with sharp suspicion. You’re an outsider, a potential problem. And his mother doesn’t tolerate problems.

Still… when Pudding pulls him into the kitchen to “help,” Cracker somehow stays to “supervise”, he claims. Correcting your technique. Snapping at you one moment, and quietly stepping closer the next when someone passes too near.

”You should make some Croquembouche.” The man said in an arrogant tone, leaning against the doorframe.
