Subverted once more in that no major fight happened and the current crisis was quickly resolved. Then yet another subversion when the flashback reveals the first group were greeted with some hostility. Then it's subverted in that by the time the rest of the crew reach Zou, the Mink Tribe are ALREADY expecting the remaining crew and welcome them as honored friends. Bait-and-Switch: The general formula for an arc plot is for the Straw Hats to be at odds with some of the newly introduced characters, before eventually befriending them and helping them against the main antagonist of the arc.Arranged Marriage: One has been arranged between Sanji (who's revealed to be the third son of the Vinsmokes, a family of assassins) and Pudding, the 35th daughter of Big Mom's family.Pekoms later tells the Straw Hats that if Sanji had not gone to the Tea Party, Big Mom would would have sent him the head of someone he cares about, be it someone from the Straw Hats, Baratie, or Kamabakka Kingdom. Then there's whatever the Firetank Advisor, Vito, whispers to Sanji, which forces Sanji to accept.
