With the pace of Luffy vs. Katakuri I see now way the arc has been extended to 2018.

I really hope Skinny Mom isn't going to be a foreshadow and just some joke about how one missed meal make food addicts believe they are starving.

Carrot's (and I guess minks') moon power is amazing. Call it Were-Mink, Super Mink, Furry Madness, Oda and Hefner's co-op... Either way, this chapter Carrot ruled, and it's just the beginning. However, if the strongest minks (Inuarashi and Nekomamushi) thought that this power up would put them at a Yonko right hand man level, I doubt Carrot, as strong as she is, is at a level of someone who was mentioned as a monster on par with a Sweet Commander. If it is, than Ceylon Inuarashi and Ceylon Nekomamushi before losing their limbs would be pirate king level, so I think all we'll get is an interacting fight against red shirts.

Again, great design for Carrot, but I'm not holding my breath for Carrot vs. Daifuku, especially since the Straw Hats need to move forward and with Daifuku's ship adrift, maybe his fleet would follow, maybe Germa will show up, maybe the Sun Pirates, who knows. The truth is that right now there is no one on one exceptions for any of the Straw hats and allies, even the highly fans requested Sanji fight is no where in sight. Is oda gonna show us any worthy fights?

Sanji vs. Oven - Nope. Luffy vs. Katakuri - slower then Mr. 4. Nami vs. Smoothie - Not likely.

Honestly, without wishful thinking, Who do you think would fight who? To me it seems like Luffy vs. Katakuri only exist so that Luffy would not interfere with impatience during a plan like he does in every plan. Seriously, if Luffy will beat the second most powerful antagonist of the arc, with the plan for the strongest is to knock her out with cake, I really hope this arc will have at least three more aces in it sleeve.
