After the fight between Luffy and Cracker commenced last chapter 836, it is expected that Big Mom's son will be revealing his special ability, his thousand arms. It may seem impossible for the Straw Hat captain to defeat the powerful villain as Cracker is regarded with similar abilities to that of Doflamingo and other Yonkou commanders.
The last chapter left off when Luffy and Cracker started fighting. The battle began when the former tried to protect Pound, who is one of Big Mom's previous husbands.
The match will go on and readers will finally see Cracker unleashing his thousand arms. According to a blog post by Manga Drone, Cracker will not be an easy opponent for Luffy. The post pointed out several reasons why it may be a difficult fight for the Straw Hat pirate.
One, Cracker has the second highest bounty with 860 M ever featured on the series which may make him one of the top officers among the Yonkou commanders. In addition, Luffy is still not in the same level so his battle against the former would challenge his abilities.
In chapter 836, Cracker mentioned the possibility that Pound maybe his father but not his current. This opened up speculations that Big Mom currently has a new husband. She did it with 43 other men in order to produce 2 off springs for each husband he weds.
In continuation of Luffy and Cracker's battle, the Straw Hat pirate previously said he does not know any other way out when confronted with Big Mom's son, this may mean he is serious about getting all out for the fight since he knew how powerful Cracker can be, the post added. Although he gained more strength and power after his fight with Doflamingo, it may still not be enough to defeat one of Yonkou's top fighters.
It was also speculated that the battle will not be triumphed by any of the fighters, instead, something big will interrupt it which is not known as of the moment. Meanwhile, a fan from One Piece forum has predicted the battle will not conclude as Nami will be pulling out Luffy from the field.
