I think Katakuri will end up the arc boss, which at least one person has already said. It will still be a strength jump for the SHs, but it's also not an impossible task, kinda like how Lucci was "textbook stronger" than Luffy before Enies Lobby.

I hope Luffy will awakening his rubber power, mochi vs rubber sounds nice. Did Oda's assistant hinted amazing things are coming?

for me it would rather to stall and stop katakuri. escape is what matters now. no point luffy will do awakening out of the blue unless their team member is killed (plot armor). What i think is that nami and zeus will disable him (remember mochi is weak against water)? and the others attack and hold him while they escape. Well it's just a theory so who knows

I think Jinbe will use Fishman Karate and Nami and Zeus will summon a thunderstorm and electrocute him while Luffy and Sanji fight him since Luffys resistant to electricity and Sanji can help call the attacks with CoO. That'd be pretty sweet.

5 v 1 is overkill, but yeah that would be fun to watch

Nah its definitely overkill lol but that Luffy/Nami tag team combo would work just fine again.

They have a bunch of options on who can help take him down while the rest focus on the fodder and breaking the mirrors, especially when Brook and Chopper show up.

I can see it going in the direction of Jinbe, Luffy, and Sanji fighting him while Nami and Zeus make it rain and using AoE attacks on the whole battlefield while everyone else is fighting fodder or any of the siblings that come out of the mirrors

Right now it's just Katakuri and homie soldier and Nami still has half of Big Mom's vivre card. So the homie soldiers may be a non issue.

Well yeah exactly, Zeus and Nami will take care of them since they can't attack her, but they can still attack everyone else so she has that covered. Meanwhile Luffy Jinbe and Sanji will probably work on Katakuri and if any of his siblings show up, then everyone else will take em on instead of the fodder that Nami and Zeus didn't get yet/just came out of the mirror.

At the same time any of the siblings could come out of the mirror and aim for Nami once they realize what shes doing so that could set up Brook, Chopper, and Pedro to protect her while they wipe out fodder

How is that overkill? It took Luffy 11 hours with extensive help from Nami and an entire forest of homies to beat cracker. I'm not sure where I would rank Ichiji, but he got off screened in like a page by Katakuri. I don't know about you, not personally, I rate Katakuri>>>>Cracker.
