https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcerBQo4QV0A quick trip to your dorms and an exchange later you return to the garden in bat form with Ann riding on your back as a tiny spider. With much fanfare and a lot of noise. Scores of homies are herding the guests of honor inside and shower them with flower petals every one of their footsteps. There, perched on a nearby bush you see the whole Vinsmoke family stride in with pride and confidence like they own the place. In the front is the family head Vinsmoke Judge with his four children Ichiji, Niji, Yonji and Reiju walking side by side behind him. And behind all of them but only barely is Sanji looking out of his head with dead eyes that betray his broken spirit.
They are forced to stand around the table as Mama herself is fashionably late. At first. Then it becomes awkward as she keeps them waiting even longer. A bit after that she finally makes her entrance with a presence that trumps even that of the haughty nobles, her thundering footsteps even make the languid Sanji open his eyes and look at her... girth.
"Hahaha! It's good to have you hear Germa 66! Sorry to be late!"
Only Sanji seems to be worried by her presence. The rest of his family doesn't even budge when faced with an Emperor. They really are foolish.
"We've had a little problem but it should be okay now!"
Mama takes a seat and that signals the others that they may sit down now. Her first action is to size up Sanji himself who does not avert his gaze from her.
"So you're Black Leg Sanji hmmm? You'll become my daughter Puddings husband! Don't be shy! MAMA-MAMA!"
Big Mom laughs as Pudding makes her entrance, looking prettied up and a whole lot different than how you got to know her. She's putting up an act of innocence to lower the Vinsmokes guard.
"Sorry for being late!
Uncharacteristically for him Sanji barely acknowledges her presence whilst his brothers start drooling as they gawk at her.
"Anyway I heard a lot about your son! He's a cook, right? He's going to be a good match for my Pudding. Well, it doesn't matter even if he's not. This is a political marriage after all! Isn't that right Judge? MAMA-MAMA!"
"Yes. It would be nice indeed if our children ended up happy! Let us have a toast for tomorrow's wedding in their honor!"
His voice is pleasant but his words ring hollow.
"Yeah! Let's!"
Big Mom is the first to pick up one of the wineglass homies and pours the crimson liquid straight down her gullet. The Vinsmokes are a bit more elegant as they follow suit. Only Sanji seems hesitant as he's fixated on the fact that the glass is alive.
"It's not their blood or pee."
"Wuh-"
Sanji starts looking around as you throw your voice at him.
"Don't look. Use your Haki. I'm on the Gazebo. Anyway the wine is not their blood or pee, I checked once. Only the glass is alive. You can drink it."
He hesitates for a second but eventually relents and drinks up.
"Good. Now if you want to respond try whispering very quietly. I got sharp ears."
