'One Piece' Just Put The Thousand Sunny In Danger

Warning! Spoilers for Chapter 889 of the One Piece manga below!

The climax of the "Whole Cake Island" arc has separated the One Piece crew far apart. Sanji is desperately trying to get the new wedding cake to Big Mom, Luffy is fighting Katakuri in the mirror world, and the rest of the Straw Hat crew is stuck in a precarious situation.

The last chapter had the Thousand Sunny stuck in between the Charlotte Family and a hard place, Carrot may have been able to transform into her lovely Su Long form, but that couldn't last forever. Meaning that the Thousand Sunny is now in more danger than ever.

Carrot managed to take out most of Big Mom's fleet but she needed to rest so that she wouldn't lost her sense of self in her full Su Long form. That meant their last line of defense was taken down. Making matters worse, Big Mom transformed into a new deadly form that even her family has yet to see.

She's been starving for cake for hours, and much to the surprise of the rest of the Charlotte family, she becomes much thinner and dons a crown of flames thanks to Prometheus. This thinner form even grants her more agility and the ability to ride her cloud Zeus without fail.

Chapter 889 ends with Big Mom's new fearsome form towering over the Straw Hats on the Thousand Sunny. Seeing her frightening power up close, Jinbe declares that they might even have to abandon the Thousand Sunny if the situation calls for it.

Now fans are anxious to see what kind of new power Big Mom's more slender form will grant her, and hoping Sanji can reach her with the wedding cake in time before the Straw Hats are forced to lose another ship in its prime.
