It appears that the Straw Hat pirates can no longer avoid a dangerous confrontation with Big Mom, as the fearsome female Yonkou was able to follow them aboard the Thousand Sunny ship. After Luffy's intense battle with Big Mom's powerful sweet lieutenant, it might be the time for the leader of the Straw Hats to fight Big Mom herself, but according to the latest spoilers for "One Piece" chapter 890, there is very slim chance that he could defeat Big Mom at this point.

According to Comic Book, everyone in the Thousand Sunny ship is in danger as Big Mom was able to catch up with the Straw Hat pirates, who were trying to escape from her clutches. It looks like the Whole Cake arc of Eiichiro Oda's popular manga series is nearing its climax, if it is not already there yet, especially now that the female Yonkou is ready to unleash her wrath to Luffy and his friends.

The plot predictions for "One Piece" chapter 890 at Naruto Forums have some interesting twists regarding the imminent showdown between Luffy and Big Mom. While engaging the powerful Yonkou pirate in a close combat seems inevitable, there is actually a chance that the fight will not transpire. For one, Big Mom is only furious because she believes that the Straw Hat pirates have the delicious cake that she has been craving for in a long time. Big Mom truly has a sweet tooth, and that could be the reason for the Straw Hats to be spared.

Unfortunately, the Straw Hat pirates do not have the cake that Big Mom is looking for. Perospero actually tricked Big Mom into believing that the Straw Hats have it, and based on the plot rumors, he may find himself in a dire situation in "One Piece" chapter 890 once Big Mom knew about his lies. Nevertheless, without a cake to present for Big Mom, each and every person aboard the Thousand Sunny is not safe. If there is one more thing to worry about, it is Big Mom's intimidating new form, something that even her family has never seen before. This only implies that Big Mom is stronger than ever, and there is almost zero chance that Luffy will survive the fight against her.

Perhaps the only hope to stop Big Mom's rampage in "One Piece" chapter 890 is Sanji, who has been working hard to make the delicious pastry. It is possible that Sanji will just be on time to serve the cake in front of Big Mom, although it remains to be seen if Big Mom will really be satisfied by its taste.

Meanwhile, a Reddit post reveals that there will be another week of hiatus for the "One Piece" manga. Chapter 890 is now expected to be out on January 5th.
