'One Piece' chapter 836 spoilers, predictions: Luffy to fight Cracker in next chapter?

Weekly Shonen Jump had a week-long hiatus. Now, fans continue to come up with predictions on top manga series, including pirate manga "One Piece."

According to rumors, the next chapter to be released will continue where chapter 835 left off. Reportedly, a confrontation is inevitable between Luffy and Charlotte Cracker. Cracker has been introduced in the story as the tenth son of Yonkou Big Mom, and has encountered Luffy's group in the Seducing Forest. Since it has already been revealed that the Big Mom Pirate crews already have an idea that there are invaders in the island, Luffy will have to resort to fighting Cracker in order to continue with their journey. Luffy and some of his crew members travelled to Big Mom's territory in order to persuade Sanji not to continue with his arranged marriage to Big Mom's daughter.

Previously, it has been revealed that Sanji is an heir to the Vinsmoke clan, whose members form the Germa 66 and is considered one of the leading groups in the New World. The head of the clan – Sanji's father – decided to join forces with Big Mom by marrying Sanji into the Yonkou's family.

As for the fight between Luffy and Cracker, industry follower Movie News Guide believes it s inevitable, since Luffy will need leeway in order to rescue Sanji. Nonetheless, the head of the Straw Hat Pirates has been known to make eccentric decisions, and there is also a high possibility of Luffy thinking of becoming a prisoner. In doing so, Luffy will have a high chance of getting close to where Sanji and Big Mom are, and being captured will be the quickest way possible.

Meanwhile, aside from rescuing Sanji, another expected outcome for chapter 836 is the continuation of Pedro and Brooke's infiltration in trying to get the road poneglyph in Big Mom's territory. The poneglyph is a part of the map that supposedly points to Raftel, home of One Piece.
