The last few chapters of the highly popular manga series "One Piece" mainly focused on Sanji and the Vinsmoke family. However, fans of the series are now wondering about the outcome of the battle between Monkey D. Luffy and Cracker, which was featured in chapter 838, titled "Choniki". Fortunately, new reports are suggesting that fans will finally be able to witness the conclusion of the battle when chapter 840 finally comes out.

The previous chapter of the manga series, chapter 839 — titled "I Shall Never Forget the Debt That I Owe You" — featured the predicament Sanji has found himself in as he is left with no choice but to marry Pudding. The Vinsmoke family apparently wants an alliance with Big Mom and the only way to do it is through Sanji and Pudding's marriage.

Jajii then proceeds to threaten Sanji and mentions that he will kill Zeff if he backs out of the wedding. Jajii even shows Sanji a picture of Zeff, leaving Sanji speechless at the thought of his mentor coming into harm because of him.

According to the latest spoiler reports, chapter 840 will likely be seeing the conclusion of the battle between Luffy and Cracker. It isn't clear just yet how Luffy will be able to achieve this impossible task as Cracker has his entire army backing him up in the fight. However, fans believe that Luffy will definitely come out as the victor, but it will definitely not be an easy fight for him.

Meanwhile, Nami and Pound are still busy running away from Brulee. Rumors have revealed that Luffy will be meeting up with Carrot and Chopper after defeating Cracker in order for them to team up and stop Sanji's wedding with Pudding. Sanji himself is now helpless to stop his own wedding and can only rely on his friends to help him with the difficult situation.
