'One Piece' Manga Chapter 826 spoilers, plot news: Germa 66 to become Straw Hat's ally as Niinji is attracted to Nami?

The previous manga chapter of "One Piece" have been focused on the Straw Hat Pirates who are now on a mission to retrieve Sanji from the fearsome Yonkou pirate queen, Big Momma. To recall, Big Momma and her crew have abducted Sanji in order to force him into marrying her daughter. However, Sanji is still not giving in to the offer and Luffy is determined to rescue his pirate crew before anything else happens.

On their way to Big Momma's Cake Island, a mysterious ship suddenly appeared behind them. At first, the Straw Hat Pirates did not know what group is on the ship, although a figure of a man slowly became visible. Manga readers identified the man to bear striking resemblance with Sanji, meaning that the person could be a relative of Sanji. Later on, it was revealed that the group is the infamous Germa 66, and the man is no other than Sanji's brother, Niinji.

While the Germa 66 has been a mischievous group who clashed with the World Government for a number of times in the past, there are speculations that the real intention of Germa 66 is not to antagonize the Straw Hat Pirates. According to The Bitbag, there is a possibility that the group is actually following Luffy's team to help them save Sanji.

Another interesting sign that Niinji and the rest of Sanji's family will not cause any trouble for the Straw Hat Pirates is that Sanji's brother is actually attracted to Nami. This further established the similarity of Niinji with his brother as he appears to be attracted to the same type of women that Sanji likes. Therefore, rather than stopping Luffy in his journey, Niinji might be standing alongside the Straw Hat Pirates to fight Big Momma.

The next chapter of "One Piece" will be released on May 19, and the fans will finally get the answer if Sanji's family will lend a helping land to the Straw Hats or cause more problems along the way.
