As fans eagerly anticipate the official release of "One Piece" chapter 842, the internet world is buzzing with spoilers. In the next chapter, fans can expect the gruelling 11-hour battle between Monkey D. Luffy and Charlotte Cracker finally reaching its conclusion.
In the previous chapter, Luffy came up with a plan to defeat Cracker. With the help of Nami's Clima-Tact, the Straw Hat captain ate every biscuit soldier that the Sweet Commander created until he came up short of stamina.
Recently, fans took to Oro Jackson forum to share their respective predictions on what could happen in "One Piece" chapter 842. The intense battle between Luffy and Cracker will finally reach its conclusion as the latter sent his biscuit soldiers charging at the Straw Hat captain.
As Luffy was reaching his limit, Cracker prepared to strike him. Interestingly, Straw Hat Luffy activates a new form of Gear Fouth technique called Tankman: Full Version (Gomu Gomu no Cannonball).
Bemused by Luffy's new form, Cracker tries to stab the Straw Hat using his pretzel sword. However, the latter got sucked into Luffy's body and was sent flying through the rest of the biscuit soldiers with unimaginable power and speed.
As the story further delves into the arranged Vinsmoke-Charlotte wedding, an associate advises Vinsmoke Judge, also known as Garuda, that all the preparations are now ready. Hence, Sanji and the Vinsmoke Family set out to the Whole Cake Chateau for the gift exchange with Big Mom.

The move is believed to start a remarkable battle between the Vinsmoke Family and Charlotte Family with Reiju and Purin being expected to side with Sanji, MNR Daily reported.
