I was originally going to post this comment in Monkey D Theories thread but I'll just post it here instead.
I feel like some users like Paper, Monkey D Theories, and others are acting like Big Mom is just another random side villain that needs to get defeated when we know that's not the case.
Now I'm on the side of Big Mom being defeated in the Wano arc, I've even said before that I believe that Kid and Law will end up defeating Big Mom during the Wano arc but at the same time I never ruled out the possibility of her not being defeated.
However them defeating Big Mom in the next chapter or the following one that quickly imo would be garbage, now if the next three or four chapters is mainly focused on their fight and if we see more from them in action including Big Mom's own awakening then I probably won't have any problem with Kid and Law defeating Big Mom.
Big Mom is not just some random side villain that needs to quickly get defeated, no matter how you feel about Big Mom she is still a Yonko at the end of the day just like Kaido and she has been a major villain throughout the post timeskip/New World. Her character has been buildup ever since the Fish-Man Island arc and she also had major focus during the WCI arc, if her character gets defeated in the next chapter or the following one that quickly by Kid and Law without seeing more feats from her and without seeing her awakening that would again be absolutely garbage.
Big Mom should get a proper defeat, Kid and Law using some random power up and quickly defeating her is not a proper defeat.
Here are some others issues I have.
Now even though I have no problem with Kid and Law defeating Big Mom, I personally would find it weird if they end up defeating a Yonko before Luffy. I still believe that Oda is going to have Luffy defeat a Yonko first before Kid and Law, ever since the beginning of the New World Oda has been building up Luffy to defeat a Yonko.
With all this buildup to the Yonko's and Luffy challenging them and saying he wants to defeat them, to me it seems like not only will Oda have Luffy be the first one to defeat a Yonko but he will also make a big deal out of it.
I don't think Oda would have all this buildup for Luffy to be the first one to defeat a Yonko, only to have Kid and Law suddenly do it first. Now if that does happen then I believe Oda will either have Big Mom get defeated at the same time as Kaido or he will take her "defeat" in a different direction, but if Big Mom does get defeated before Kaido then alright I was wrong.
Also Oda hasn't even focused that much on the Kid and Law vs Big Mom fight, a majority of the fight has so far been off paneled and when Oda does focus on the fight he only shows a little bit of it.
Compare Luffy vs Kaido from last chapter to Kid and Law vs Big Mom in this latest chapter, a majority of the last chapter was mainly focused on Luffy vs Kaido and the actual fight was really good meanwhile the Kid and Law vs Big Mom fight in this latest chapter which is supposed to be the main focus was only focused during the last six pages and the actual fight itself was very underwhelming in fact it didn't even feel like an actual fight.
Zoro vs King and Sanji vs Queen had way more focus than Kid and Law vs Big Mom, this fight against Big Mom should be getting way more focus but it hasn't. We haven't seen Kid and Law do more attacks against Big Mom and as for Big Mom herself we still need to see more impressive feats from her, look at Kaido who we have seen more in action and we also saw more impressive feats from him.
If Oda makes the next few chapters mainly focused on Kid and Law vs Big Mom and if we see all three of them really going all out from seeing more attacks to Big Mom's awakening then I probably won't have any problem with Big Mom's defeat in the Wano arc, but if that doesn't happen and if she quickly gets defeated in the next chapter or the following one without seeing more impressive feats or awakening then this entire Kid and Law vs Big Mom fight would then be trash.
Overall I have no problem with Big Mom's defeat in the Wano arc but I want her to have a proper defeat, and if she doesn't get defeated and comes back for a third arc then I'm fine with that as well.

. It's just so fcking contrived & is rinse and repeat almost errtime we see it so really fcking hope we don't get 2-3 more chapters of this. I see folks speculating on stuff like Oda expanding on the fight and having Big Mom use awakening etc. in the next few chapters but there's just no way that Oda does anything that makes Linlin any stronger than she already is. Even without using CoC Coating and her inability to dodge for some reason
she's already too much for Kidd and Law, so making Linlin any stronger will only make a Law/Kidd win more contrived than it already is.
