Early spoilers and predictions for "One Piece" chapter 837 are already here. An intense battle between Monkey D. Luffy and Charlotte Cracker is widely expected to happen in the upcoming chapter.
The previous chapter titled "The Vivre Card Lola Gave," which was released on Aug. 22, Monday, began with Nami, who is stunned to hear that the man with the gigantic head has a daughter named Lola. She remembered how Purin let them know about an older sister who fled from home in search of a marriage of her own choosing.
Nami then recalled Lola giving her mother's vivre card during the events of the Thriller Bark Arc. Avid viewers may recall that the former gave the latter a piece of Big Mom's vivre card in case the Straw Hats Pirates need her help in the New World.
The scene then shifted to Cracker, the tenth son of the Charlotte Family, who attempted to execute the man with the gigantic head, saying that Big Mom does not care about his demise. However, Luffy suddenly blocked Cracker's swing, forcing the latter to let go of the man, who revealed his name to be Pound.
Now, fans took to Oro Jackson forum to share their predictions on what could happen in the next chapter. The battle between Luffy and Cracker is widely expected to wage on following their brief standoff in chapter 836.
User Monkey D. Luffy believes Straw Hat will have a hard time defeating Cracker. It is worth noting that the latter's bounty is 860,000,000 Beli and also has a Devil Fruit that empowers him to multiply his arms
Dubbed as "Thousand Hands," the number of Cracker's arms increases every time he hits his own arm. Hence, he has a total of 8 arms: one arm has a shield whose shape looks like a wafer, while the other seven arms are equipped with swords.
While it would appear that it is absolutely impossible for Luffy to crush Cracker, Youtuber OneWorldHD believes that the former will unleash the Gear Fifth: Monkey Devil Awakening technique. The final gear will presumably allow the protagonist to generally rely on his mind and spirit by means of awakening and Haki.
Here is a recap of the previous chapter:
