'One Piece' chapters 847, 848 spoilers: Pedro and Brook bring new hope to Straw Hats' quest to free Sanji?

Chaos is about to break at Big Mom's castle courtesy of the thieving duo Pedro and Brook. Will this be enough to give Luffy and crew some leeway to take Sanji away from Whole Cake Island?

There are mere hours left before Sanji and Pudding's wedding, and with Luffy and Nami imprisoned in one of Mont-d'Or's books and Chopper and Carrot caught at the mercy of Brûlée's appetite, Pedro and Brook's arrival may just be the intervention they need for their plans to finally succeed.

"One Piece" chapter 847 was all about laying out groundwork for what could eventually become a battle for more than just Sanji's freedom. The Vinsmoke patriarch, Judge, seemed to have offended Big Mom with a seemingly innocent question about the absence of giants on Whole Cake Island. Luffy stoked the fire by challenging Big Mom to an all-out battle before claiming that his side would win. Pedro and Brook's almost-suicidal attempt to steal the Road Poneglyphs is threatening to add insult to the injury.

Will the upcoming chapter 848 see Big Mom's tolerance shattering beyond repair despite the deal she made with Sanji? Or will she somehow manage to curb her growing anger until after the wedding is done? Will Pedro and Brook's thievery be the game-changing twist that finally puts the Straw Hat Crew on the right path towards reuniting with Sanji, or will it only bring Big Mom's full wrath down on all of them?

Sanji does not yet know that Big Mom has taken Luffy and Nami prisoners, but there are speculations that he might find out in chapter 848. How will he react? Will he lose his temper at Big Mom and challenge her at the risk of endangering his friends lives? Or will he play it cool and remind Big Mom of their deal?

There are also theories that Sanji may have been privy to Pedro and Brook's plan, and that everything he's been doing up to this point is to keep Luffy and Nami alive while he secretly devises his own plan of escape.
