That is the most likely possibility, it seems like the only realistic way Luffy can not be murdered by Katakuri.
Agree. Especially if he wants to beat kaido in the upcoming battle.
I want to hope that the awakening will happen in Kaido arc though to make things exciting..so maybe luck will help him here , something like Big mom will be satisfied to the cake and call all her sons and daughters..but in my opinion its like unfinished business..but i remember the fish men arc..maybe they will meet again and finish all of it..
..i think in this arc Luffy will awakened his devil fruit or has something on his sleeve to win this fight..like gear 5th or something..or maybe because if his
luck..the destiny is moving in his favor..(๑•ㅂ•)و✧
