So unless Luffy pulls another form of something of Gear Fourth or awakens in this arc thene a direct fight with Big Mom is not happening. I think that it would be wierd that it took multiple gear fourth hits to take down Doffy (not to mention a King Kong Gun) and then have Craker, who is a yonko commander, to be taken out in one hit. Especially since Luffy was seeming to have more trouble with Cracker pre gear fourth than he was with Doffy. So if Cracker is down then we can just chalk it up to Doffy having the best endurance of anyone in the World so far.

I'm curious whether Big Mom is gonna be taken down or not this arc because it seems like everyone, Capone, Vinsmokes, The SH, Jinbei, are all planning on betraying Big Mom or just down right opposing her. I don't think that Luffy is ready to take down a Yonko but with Capone or the vinsmokes maybe dealing a suprise blow that leaves her weakened than maybe Luffy gets away with it.

I just don't see Luffy rampaging into the country destryoing Cracker and then as soon as he gets to Big Mom all is made well by the fact that Nami is friends with Lola. I mean its possible but with Luffy wanting JInbei and Sanji back, and the road poneglyph, I don't see it as much as I did before. Excited to see which way Oda takes it cuz I don't think either option is very viable at this point.
