'One Piece' Chapter 901 release date, spoilers & plot news: Will Straw Hat pirates survive wrath of Big Mom? New story arc coming soon
The fans could not contain excitement for the next chapter of Eiichiro Oda's hit manga series, "One Piece," given the intense cliffhanger scene from chapter 900. It looks like the Whole Cake Island arc of the manga has already reached its climax, with the Big Mom's forces trying to corner the Straw Hat pirates and their allies. The upcoming chapter 901 is expected to reveal the fates of the pirate crew led by Monkey D. Luffy, as the group attempts to escape the wrath of the fearsome Yonkou.
The "One Piece" manga has reached another milestone with its 900th issue, although the chapter caused the fans to become worried about Luffy and his friends. To recall, the last scene in chapter 900 shows the Thousand Sunny ship receiving a destructive blow. One would expect that the Straw Hat pirates' ship would sink in the ocean, as Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Ussop, Sanji, Chopper, Robin, Brook, Franky, Jimbei, and Carrot are eventually captured by Big Mom's men.
However, an interesting fan prediction suggests that in spite of this terrible attack on the Straw Hat pirates, Luffy will be able to survive and escape the enemy.
The prediction for "One Piece" chapter 901 does not specifically describe how the Straw Hat pirates will be able to escape Big Mom.
Although, it does not seem likely that Luffy or anyone in the group has enough power to contend with Big Mom, given that the Yonkou has finally regained her optimum physical strength after consuming Sanji's delicious cake. Consuming the cake prevents her from having more tantrums, but now that she is thinking more clearly, Big Mom is more determined than ever to capture Luffy and absorb his soul.
Furthermore, the latest spoilers point out that the current Whole Cake Island arc is nearing its end, but the conclusion of Big Mom's saga may not satisfy the fans' expectations. Instead of having an ultimate face-off between Luffy and Big Mom, the story arc will end with the Straw Hat pirates fleeing from Big Mom's territory. At the end of chapter 901, it is likely that the next arc will be introduced, which has something to do with Luffy's next target destination, Wano.
"One Piece" chapter 901 is expected to be released sometime next week.
