Fans are eagerly anticipating that the 11-hour fight between Cracker and Luffy will end in the upcoming "One Piece" chapter 842. It is said that The Straw Hat captain prolonged the fight so that he could eat as many biscuits as he wants.
Luffy has already grown fat from eating too much biscuit soldiers, something that he has been doing for 11 hours. However, fans are also speculating that there is a reason behind this. He is actually gaining some time for Chopper and Carrot to devise a plan in order to save Sanji. One panel from the previous chapter showed Chopper saying something to Luffy, which was actually a request to prolong the fight as much as he can, according to fan theories shared on the "One Piece" chapter 842 subreddit.
Chopper will then be able to find a way to reach their target place and to take advantage of Brulee's power. This will then prompt Luffy to finish the lingering battle against the biscuit army.
It is also speculated that Nami will play an important part in the upcoming chapter. Since Luffy has grown so fat eating up soldier biscuits and there are still a lot more, he will not be able to fight anymore. Nami will save Luffy this time around. Although she is not that strong, she will then finish the fight against the soldiers. She could try to defeat them all, including Cracker, or she can simply allow Luffy to digest all he has eaten so that he can come back to fight.
Meanwhile, Sanji's wedding to Charlotte Pudding, which has not even started yet, will be further delayed. Sanji being beaten up by his brothers before the ceremony brought this out. Reiju, the only sibling that cared for him, will also try to delay the wedding for a while longer, but Yonji, another sibling of theirs, will suggest to go on with the ceremony even if Sanji is all messed up. Their family can simply say that he has been reprimanded for a mistake he has committed.
It is further anticipated that the Straw Hat gang will have one big fight against Big Momma coming their way since Sanji is speculated to run away from the arranged marriage.
"One Piece" chapter 842 is expected to be released anytime this week.
