After the events of "One Piece" chapter 828, rumor has it that Pudding will eventually betray the Straw Hat gang down the road. Numerous fans believe that Pudding is only playing a role and is actually a devious mastermind like Big Mom.

Chapter 828 saw Pudding being introduced to the Straw Hat gang after she found out who they were. Initially defensive, Pudding's guards were eventually let down when Nami explained the reason they were there. They only wanted to rescue Sanji and leave her alone. Pudding then revealed to them that Sanji had turned her down. It became apparent that she wanted to marry him, but she ultimately got rejected. Sanji had taught her so much and she saw the good in him, which is why she came to terms with his refusal.

Pudding's outwardly nice persona struck a suspicious chord with plenty of dedicated fans. These fans have taken to online forums and discussion boards to voice out their opinions, and they all sort of chimed in the same way: Pudding is not at all what she seems.

It is widely believed that Pudding is only faking being nice and will stab the Straw Hats crew in the back sooner or later. Some have even theorized that Pudding had a hand in Pekoms' disappearance and that she's in cahoots with Big Mom. Pekoms went missing before and it is believed that Big Mom is behind the kidnapping.

It is also rumored that chapter 829 of the "One Piece" manga will see the pirates hiding from their enemies and that a big chase is about to occur. Additionally, the map is also said to be a trap that is set up for them.

In the midst of all these theories against Pudding, some are under the impression that she is actually a good person and wants nothing to do with Big Mom.

Since all of these are unconfirmed, fans should just wait patiently for the release of chapter 829 of "One Piece."
