Before entering Big Mom's territory, the Straw Hat Pirates made an additional stop in the "One Piece" anime. This is different from the events of the manga.
Fans predict that Luffy and his team will deal with Germa 66 in "The Persistent Trio- The Great Pursuit for the Straw Hats!" Also known as the Warmongers, the military branch of the Germa Kingdom and an Underworld mercenary force commanded by the Vinsmoke Family have aligned with the Big Mom Pirates.
At this point, Luffy is said to be in need of medical attention after eating the skin of a big fish he just caught. The skin was not meant to be eaten but Luffy was very hungry and they were running out of food so he ate the right away after catching it, according to predictions.
Luffy and his team will be glad to see a Germa 66 ship from afar, predictions claim. However, what they are not sure of is whether or not the ship will give them help or danger, according to the predictions.
