''" So yeah, I can't really see any tangible way for Big Mom to be defeated in this arc. I'll be very disappointed if Oda just makes her weak enough for that to happen." ''

No you won't. It's not A or B with One Piece, it's secret answer C. I think we will see Big Mom fall this arc. And that doesn't mean the conflict and resolution will be as weakly written as we can imagine in our heads.

We don't have every piece of the puzzle yet. The story will continue to build and unravel itself, with every chapter throwing in something we didn't directly expect. Jinbe's plotline, Caesar's plotline, Pudding's plotline, Bege's plotline, Pedro's plotline... Probably five other characters we haven't even met or considered yet. And when it's time for the Big Mom showdown, things will come together. It'll make sense, it'll be satisfying. It happens every time.
