'One Piece' chapter 851 release date, spoilers: Pudding's devil fruit ability revealed

The 851st chapter of the popular Japanese manga "One Piece" has recently been released, and it brought to light huge revelations about the Vinsmoke Family Massacre plan, Pudding's Devil Fruit ability, Brook's battled against Big Mom, as well as the return of a trusted ally of the Straw Hat Pirates.

It can be recalled that in chapter 850, Pudding's true colors are finally revealed, along with her true objective in marrying Sanji. Pudding was conversing with Sanji's sister, Reiju, about her plans to kill him at the wedding along with the entire Vinsmoke family.

"One Piece" chapter 851 continued the conversation between Pudding and Reiju, with Pudding confessing that she was the one who shot Reiju with her Candy Jacket. She also revealed her plot to kill six members of the Vinsmoke family at the wedding. She also said that she never loved Sanji and that he was a failure. She continued to taunt Reiju by mimicking Sanji's facial expressions and deriding his wedding proposal to her.

Sanji, having heard everything that Pudding said, repeatedly tried to light up his cigarette with his lighter, but the rain prevented him from doing so. Then, he dropped the bento and bouquet of flowers he was supposed to give to Pudding. A close-up illustration of Sanji's rain-soaked face depicts him looking extremely devastated.

Aside from her evil identity, readers of the "One Piece" manga also learned in chapter 851 about Pudding's devil fruit ability. With her Memo-Memo Devil Fruit technique, Pudding had the ability to alter the memories of other people. She demonstrated that ability in the latest chapter by changing Reiju's memories, making her believe that she is a soldier hit by a stray bullet.

"Your memory with me is no longer available," Pudding tells blank-faced Reiju. "Let's have a good wedding tomorrow," she went on to say.

"One Piece" chapter 851 will be available in the No. 6 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, which will be made available on Jan. 7, 2017.
