Spoiler summary is out! Credit goes to AP's Redon for the info:
-Chapter title is "Hyogoro of Flower". Splash page features Usopp.
-The chapter begins with an update on the rest of Big Mom's family! Their ship is still sailing around Wano's waters, and they discuss their plans to save their mother. According to Perospero, they know she's alive and well since her vivre card is intact, but assumes that may have been captured by Kaidou. Mont d'Or is worried, as although their mom and Kaidou were crewmates in the past, the latter may seriously try to kill Linlin. Peros pretty much decides to cut their losses and have the crew renamed to the Perospero Pirates, heh. He and Daifuku then squabble over who should take over as captain before Smoothie intervenes, who's confident that Big Mom will return.
-Meanwhile, at Kuri's outskirts, Tama is talking to her master Tengu with a mini den den mushi. She told him about Big Mom (who now sports a new hairstyle), and although her master forbids her current actions, it's too late, as her group is now riding on a giant lizard (much like the one Jack was riding on earlier). Okiku then shows the group a map of the Wano country and its various provinces. Of particular note are the Flower Capital (which is at the center), Udon (southwest), Kuri (west), and Onigashima, which is at the very bottom of the map (so I guess south, then). While checking out the map, Momonosuke recalls some sword-swinging signals that were taught to him by Zoro.
-We then cut to Nami's group. The kunoichi Shinobu gives a little background info on Kyoushirou: 20 years ago, he was known as the top gangster leader in all of Wano, and goes by the epithet, "Hyogoro of Flower". Robin says she discovered a wealth of information (presumably from the shogun's castle), and Nami discusses the Red Poneglyph. Meanwhile, the capital's townsfolk are mourning the death of Komurasaki.... including Sanji, who's in the nearby village of Ebisu. On the other hand, Law discovers another shocking piece of news in the papers:
Eustass Kid has busted out of prison!!! However, Luffy has not.....
-We then return focus to the prison mine, where Luffy is being threatened by a guard who's an alpaca-type SMILE user. The guard tells the rubber man that it's impossible for him to break out as long as he's wearing those sea stone cuffs, and any further resistance will result in his arms getting chopped off. Later, the elderly prisoner Luffy helped a while back is being bullied by another guard, a scorpion-type SMILE user. In his panic, the old man swallows something, which the guard notices. However, Luffy comes to the old guy's aid once more, despite still being in cuffs. The end result of this incident is unknown for now.....
-At the end of the chapter, a surprise visitor appears at the mine:
Queen of Kaidou's Disasters.....!!!!
