Oda started act 2 after the cliffhanger of Luffy getting one shotted and ending up in jail. And Hawkins was one of the major antagonists of the first 2 acts, so with the last cliffhanger around Law, the mysterious guy(Drake) and him, the revelation of Kaido and Big Mom forming an alliance, increasing the threat level of the arc, i'm assuming there will be a cut to what happened in the reverie(which should already be finished since it was mentioned to last 7 days) and after that, act3 will start
