User blog comment:Sithlord Andeddu/How will Totto Land end?/@comment-2222681-20170213023048

I feel like we might get some Big Mom vs. Luffy for a few panels as fanservice, but I don't think they'll be a big Luffy vs. Doffy-type of showdown between them. I mean, fighting Big Mom would be incredibly difficult and accomplishes nothing aside from reputation building. See, even if he actually beats her (which I doubt), she's still an Emperor, she still has her island, stil has her crew, and she still carries the threat of coming after them once they leave... if anything, if he's gonna fight her at all, he really needs to KILL her to accomplish anything. But we know that's not gonna happen, obviously. So, given the options, it's much more practical for him to just take her poneglyph, ruin the wedding, and leave than trying to fight her.

When it comes to how the arc is actually gonna end though, I don't know how, but Big Mom has to be put out of commision for awhile. Maybe the tamatebako box explodes and is so powerful that it puts her into a coma.... maybe the box explodes and she flies into a psychotic rage and her whole crew is too busy trying to stop her...Maybe Germa 66 invades Whole Cake after the failed wedding assasination and she's too busy dealing with them to chase the Straw Hats... SOMETHING has to keep her distracted because with how things are currently, I don't see her just letting the Straw Hats leave without chasing them. That, or they succesfully escape and just survive her army on the seas.

Alternatively, Vinsmokes might also escape with them if they don't fight BM, but not without Sanji fighting his brothers at some point.
