The fans could not wait to read the latest chapter of Eiichiro Oda's hit manga series "One Piece," especially after the heart-pounding last sequence in chapter 900. There is quite a mixed signal on how the upcoming chapter 901 will play out, especially now that the Straw Hat pirates and their allies are at the mercy of the Big Mom pirates. They will need to mind about Big Mom the most, given that the fearsome Yonkou has finally eaten the delicious wedding cake that restored her physical strength.
"One Piece" chapter 901 will not be released this week as the manga creator will be taking a time off. This will be the right time for the fans to recover from the last chapter, as well as to speculate about the possible outcomes. Based on the fans' latest plot predictions at the One Piece Forum, the cliffhanger ending of chapter 900 might actually lead to a brand new story arc in the series, specifically the Reverie Arc.
It is possible that the Whole Cake Island Arc would have an open ending, with the Straw Hat pirates just escaping from the wrath of Big Mom. Now that the female Yonkou is stronger than ever after eating the cake, even Monkey D. Luffy will not have enough power to last long in a one-on-one fight against her.
The succeeding chapters of "One Piece" could just show a series of flashbacks recounting how the Straw Hat pirates have successfully escaped Big Mom, and there could be a new enemy that Luffy should confront. Of course, there are many fans who are against this idea.
To recap chapter 900, the Straw Hat pirates and their allies, the Vinsmokes and the Fishman pirates, are trying to stall Big Mom's soldiers from catching up with their ships. Unfortunately, Charlotte Oven used his ability to boil the sea, thus making the Straw Hats unable to go far away from the Cacao Island.
"One Piece" chapter 901 is expected to be released sometime next week.
