'One Piece' chapter 831 spoilers, plot news: Will Sanji finally be rescued?

Fans of the popular manga "One Piece" are still waiting for the release of its next chapter, but since nothing is being officially confirmed regarding when this would happen, they are resorting to speculations and rumors which are making the rounds online. Most of these speculations involve Sanji and his impending rescue.

It remains to be seen though whether it will be his family or his friends who will succeed in freeing him. It is also unclear which side Sanji will take when this finally happens: the Vinsmokes' as they are his biological family or the Straw Hat Pirates who have become like a family to him.

"One Piece" chapter 831 will see Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hats crew reaching Charlotte "Big Mom" Linlin's territory, searching for Sanjin. The gang will notice though that someone is waiting for them by the shores of Whole Cake Island.

It turns out to be Pudding, who is said to be sharing with them news that the Vinsmokes are on the island. A user on the One Piece-Naruto blog site said that Big Mom will set traps for the Straw Hats all over her territory, and Pedro will notice these. It is also said that there may be danger of Luffy's crew getting surrounded by Big Mom Pirates.

Sanji in the meantime will be surprised when his father appears. His family has been searching for him as well, as previous chapters of the manga attested. His captivity goes back to Big Mom's politicking. Sanji comes from the powerful Vinsmoke clan which, though without a kingdom to rule, consists of powerful warriors with technical know-how, considered boons to whoever allies with them.

His arranged engagement has been welcomed by Charlotte Purin, Big Mom's daughter, but Sanji himself resists it because marrying into Big Mom's family meant he will have to leave the Straw Hats.

Purin has helped Sanji's friends in the previous chapters, but with Big Mom having a large army, Luffy and his crew may be in for some serious trouble.

It is expected that "One Piece" chapter 831 will feature a confrontation between Big Mom's and Luffy's crews. Luffy gets frustrated with the situation, and there is no telling who will prevail if some skirmish does take place.

"I can't find Sanji if he kept hidden by this [trap]. The enemy has to fight with us ... in front of us," Luffy says.
