User blog comment:Kaido King of the Beasts/Chapter 892: The Translation Where Chopper Says "STFU"/@comment-24850639-20180126203146

The cake eating is way too important to get off-screened, so I think your worries are misplaced there. This cake represents the zenith of Sanji's cooking prowess so far in the story, and Sanji hasn't really shown up combat-wise at all for this arc, so the power of his cooking has to be given shine. Also, given that Chiffon's, and thus Bege's relationship with the Straw Hats is at the center of this chase, it also has to be given worthy screen time for a good enough resolution. They need to close the loop on Chiffon's indebtedness to the Straw Hats, so the FireTank Pirates have to make it out of this alive. Their situation is way too crazy for them to make it out alive without a good explanation, so I expect at least a couple chapter's worth of Big Mom's consumption of the cake and subsequent reaction. To be 100% honest, I'd be willing to bet that we might even get some kind of tender moment between Linlin and Chiffon. We've only seen Big Mom go into this craze over Semla and Croquembouche before, so I think the fact that Chiffon is personally responsible for satsifying such a craving shouldn't be lost on Big Mom herself. We'll see though.

As far as Smoothie goes, she's already losing points for me by teaming up with her sisters. For someone of her stature, that is, someone's who's strength is supposedly on par with Cracker & Katakuri, individual feats are what will be used to power scale her, not who she bosses around. We're seeing what Katakuri can do, and we got to see Cracker exhausting Gear 4th Luffy without breaking a sweat. Forcing someone to give her all their "juice" is certainly a great talent to have (wink wink), but not in this context. Of all the Big Mom Pirates that were attacked by Vinsmokes into releasing their quarry, she's only one who complained that her opponent was "troublesome".....and she's the only of them who was a Sweet Commander. We haven't seen her in a battle context before or after that incident, and she's definitely not about to be fighting the Straw Hats in any kind of serious way when:

1) The Straw Hats just got finished giving it their all against  Big Mom

2) Sanji is with them now, who won't be fighting women

3) Although Oda never said/explained anything specifically, he seems to also avoid men being the agressors against women in combat for the most part. The only women on the Sunny currently are Nami and Carrot, the former not being much of a hand-to-hand fighter, the latter likely being out of commission for quite some time. Jinbe, Brook, and Chopper vs 3 chicks certainly doesn't seem like Oda's style. If the Sunny is even still in the condition for it, I expect a naval exchange of fire at the most.

Now Luffy vs. Katakuri, that is one HELL of a cliffhanger. With a wound like that, Luffy should absolutely bleed out with no medical help in sight. Willpower can't close a hole in your body. So either the injury is not as bad as it looks, or Luffy is about to end this fight within a few more chapters and get medical attention immediately. Very excited in either case, it's already essentially been confirmed that Luffy has pushed his haki to new limits.
