Have to say your prediction was accurate. But don't u think she can still gift Zeffs head to Sanji for screwing the whole event? Wasn't that the premise why Sanji left SHs???
I m disappointed that Sanji got to use that raid suit so soon that too against a headliner. He should have saved it for a stronger foe.
No, because Big Mom did that to get Sanji Alive. She was interested in the Vinsmoke tech. In order to obtain that she arranged the wedding. Since Judge didn't want to sacrifice one of his valuable sons he used Big Mom's network to leverage Sanji. Reiju confirmed they wouldn't use Zeff as a pawn anymore since the whole gig was up. Since everything went tits up, her island in ruins, reputation damaged.I think she now just wants Sanji dead, and isn't focused on an east blue chef at the moment.
Let's wait what kind of state Big Mom will be leaving Wano.
The suit is coming out now because this will be a demonstration match. Like Sanji said fast and easy. Luffy vs Blueno, SH's vs Pacifista. It will be the benchmark to show how awesome he is in the suit. Would be lackluster if he struggled the first time we would see Sanji wearing a raid suit. It's just a gimmick to keep the SH's relevant, just like how Zoro will grab a new sword somewhere on the way. I bet it will be badass when he transforms.
