Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread GuidelineBriefs
It's another fine week for a new chapter! :) The current spoiler summary is out, courtesy of AP's Redon:
-Chapter title is "Grand Sumo Inferno". Splash page features Kuzan, Camel (his hard-boiled penguin buddy), and surprisingly, Wanze (the CP7 noodle chef Sanji faced back in the W7 arc).
-After his meeting with Kawamatsu, Raizou sets off to find the keys to release his old comrade. Meanwhile, Queen has decided the punishment for Luffy, Hyougoro and the other unruly prisoners: A sumo contest! The prisoners are forced to wear exploding collars that are used for public execution (I guess like the ones the world nobles have their slaves wear), and they must fight in a series of 1-on-1 matches for their survival. However, Luffy alone will be pardoned if he agrees to join the Hundred Beast Pirates. As Luffy's opponents have the advantage of numbers as well as weaponry, with the added pressure of the explosive collars taken into account as well, Queen decides to show the rubber man a bit of mercy by allowing him to fight without the sea stone cuffs. However, the supernova unleashes his conqueror's haki, knocking out all the scrubs! He demands to face his next opponents, as the guys he just took out couldn't even provide decent training for him....!!!
-Meanwhile, back at the bathhouse, it turns out the headliner X Drake is there, keeping patrol! He soon discovers Nami, whose towel falls off..... fully exposing her nude figure. Sanji (aka Soba Mask), who was hiding nearby, gets an instant nosebleed upon seeing his beloved Nami laid bare! Soon, our heroes escape from the bath, and Sanji reveals some bad news: In order to lure out Law, his companions (such as Bepo) were captured by Kaidou's men....!!!
-Finally, we catch up with Zoro, who seems to be caught up in a battle of his own. It looks like he's facing off against the sword thief, who in turn seems to be based upon the legendary warrior monk Benkei....!!!!
