With the 882nd chapter of One Piece finally out we finally got to see what would happen to luffy after that forced smile he did in the previous chapter and Katakuri pulling out a spear. There were a lot of different ideas of what might happen including with the rest of the crew escaping big mom so I definitely looked forward to it. Obviously read it first to avoid being 100% spoiled especially this one which is awesome.
It was far more insane than I expected though, not only Katakuri’s spear far bigger than I suspected but the way he used it too me by surprise as well as he used it more like a drill (which fit its name which was Mogura aka Mole) by spinning his own arm so it was definitely obvious that Luffy was likely not going to get stabbed by it or he’d be screwed. Not that it mattered when he also pulls out an awakening and turns the floor into mochi.
However while it may seem like a dire situation still there were a few oddities tied to the Katakuri vs Luffy fight. Not only was there a mention of both of them using a lot of stamina (with Katakuri having weaker stamina being a possibility). In fact Brulee gave a small speech about how Katakuri has never laid down in his entire life which suggests Luffy will at least knock him down once during this battle. Especially since Luffy was just about to use Gear 4th,
While the rest of the crew and Sanji weren’t specifically shown in this chapter a lot of things happened that suggested that the arc is coming to a close with things like Brulee and Perospero now knowing where the strawhats are headed (only to be sidetracked when Big Mom spots Nuts Island). Even the Firetank Pirates and Germa 66 that had vanished for a little while are back in this chapter and on their way after beating some people offscreen. Makes you wonder if Stussy and Big News Morgan will have another appearance within this arc if anything happens.
Overall it was a very good chapter and I am completely looking forward to what happens in the next one, I feel that everyone that had doubted this arc will regret it once they all finally meet up.
