"One Piece" Chapter 838 is a continuation of the fight between Luffy and Cracker. While it does not feature much action, it lays the foundation for several exciting events that are about to happen to Luffy, Nami, Chopper, Brooks, and Sanji.
For one, Cracker finally reveals his true form and, surprisingly, his looks are not as scary or monstrous as he made himself to be. His smile is akin to that of Doflamingo's - wide and sinister.
Apparently, he has only been wearing an armor, which gets broken as Luffy hits him with Kong Gun in his Gear Fourth form. He is unhurt, too, as the "blood" that he pretended to cough up was made of jam. The fight was covered in a previous article on Asia Stars News.
Cracker also reveals that he is a biscuit man, having eaten the Bisu Bisu no Mi or Bisc Bisc Fruit, and he is able to conjure as many biscuits as he wants. As he goes on with his explanation, he creates many biscuit warriors, similar to how his armor and wanted poster looked.
It's now a huge problem for Luffy - facing one biscuit warrior alone was already difficult enough, what more an infinite number of them, all at the same time.
Meanwhile, Nami, sitting on top of King Baum and holding the vivre card, asks the homies who is scarier, Big Mom or Cracker, to which they reply that she wins, hands down.
At the same time, inside Brulee's Mirror World, Chopper tells Carrot that he has come up with a plan, but she needs to call him Brother Chopper from now on. She calls him Bropper, instead, which is the title of the Chapter 838. He tells her that rather than trying to escape, they're going to use Brulee's power against her since the inside of the mirror connects to all other mirrors in Whole Cake Island.
In Sweet City, Brooke and Pedro succeeds in hiding inside the body of a biscuit soldier, and they're just waiting for it to finish its street patrol and return to the castle.
The following morning, Big Mom is anticipating the arrival of the Vinsmokes for the customary "exchange of engagement gifts" scheduled for that day. She says that it's the final day that the Straw Hats would to see Sanji. It would be near impossible, though, her homie hat reminds her. One, they won't be able to get past Cracker and, two, they won't be able to do anything once Sanji enters the castle.
Sanji, meanwhile, has a lot of trouble coming his way. Not only is he cuffed with explosive wristlets and set to wed Pudding the next day, his two elder brothers have also arrived: Sparring Red Ichiji and Electric Blue Niji. Based on Sanji's expression, he is dreading to have to face them.
The events are heating up, with the elder Vinsmoke brothers now approaching and the wedding drawing closer and closer. Predictions for "One Piece" Chapter 839 include Sanji being bullied by his whole family, as well as Chopper and Carrot, Brooks and Pedro, and Nami and Pound arriving at the castle at the same time, although in different ways. Luffy might get there a bit late, perhaps in time for the final face off, but it seems he will be busy with Cracker in the meantime.
It also remains to be seen how Caesar and Jinbe are doing, and what they will contribute when the Straw Hats finally disrupt the revelries.
