Sanji has been the primary focus of One Piece's Whole Cake Island arc as the relationship between he and his Vinsmoke family has been torn to shreds thanks to an overbearing father. Fans had been anxiously waiting to see what Sanji had to say to his father once the wedding was all said and done.
Episode 840 of One Piece is titled "Cutting the Father-Son Relationship! Sanji and Judge!" and the preview for it shows the final confrontation between Sanji and his father Judge.
The situation is getting worse for the Straw Hats as the plan to assassinate Big Mom has failed and she has woken up from her period of shock. Couple this with the entire Charlotte Family coming down on them, Sanji will finally face his family head on right after relying on their power to escape into Bege's Big Father.
This is the climax of the Whole Cake Island's big emotional arc, and fans should be happy to see this finally going down as the anime is about to get much wilder as a raging Big Mom displays even stronger showings of power. It's going to be what Sanji needs to move on, and definitely a scene needed to be seen in the next episode.
