'One Piece' episode 843 spoilers, speculations: Luffy's upcoming battles, Sanji's rescue, and Chopper and Carrots' escape from Mirror World expected

Fans are getting more and more anxious to learn what will happen next in the hit anime series "One Piece." Episode 843 got pushed back a week as Eiichiro Oda's team decided to take a little breather. This hiatus, however, spawned so much speculations and theories from the active and huge fan base of the series.

Last episode saw the end of the battle between Monkey D. Luffy, the show's main protagonist, and Charlotte Cracker, one of the Three Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates. With the help of Nami thinking up of an ingenious way to soften up Cracker's biscuit soldiers by creating rain, they became soft enough for Luffy to eat them fast.

However, even though Luffy has defeated Cracker, it still won't be easy from here on since he could still be facing the two other commanders. The identity of these two remains a mystery, but fans speculate that they are likely to be stronger than Cracker. This will probably give Luffy a hard time extracting Sanji from the wedding especially when he will be facing not just one, but the two strong commanders simultaneously.

According to Game N Guide, another popular speculation among fans is the idea that the Vinsmokes could be plotting something against Big Mom. It is thought than Judge Vinsmoke is only using Sanji to get close to Big Mom. It will be clear in episode 843 if the Vinsmokes are really planning a surprise attack.

Another issue to be cleared concerns Chopper and Carrot. The two could not find their way out of the mirror world. They are randomly appearing on mirrors, frightening the citizens of the Sweet City. Later on, they realize that they actually have access to all the mirrors of Cake Island. Carrot and Chopper resolve to explore which mirror will be the right access to the exit. One theory is that they might stumble upon the mirror inside Big Mom's castle where they could manage to escape and finally join Luffy and Nami since the two are heading to the castle as well. Luffy and Nami are headed to Big Mom's castle to rescue Sanji. Will Sanji finally be reunited with the team?

Fans are all anxious to know what will happen next and are eagerly waiting for episode 843 which should air sometime this week.
