And so.... it is here. The next chapter spoilers have arrived. And the amazing thing about this spoiler that the provider died to obtain them (lol not really, but he did brave a typhoon to get them, so let's be extra thankful anyway, eh?). Of course, credit goes to aohige for translation:
-Chapter title is "Straight above Fishman Island". The ministory features post-skip Vivi, who is now 18 years old, and is seen with Carue and Matsuge/Eyelash (that perverted camel).
-At the plaza, the clash between the Straw-Hats and Hody's crew rages on as Nami wipes out a bunch of enemies with lightning. However, the officer Ikaros Much is angered by the thunder and moves to attack the navigator with his spears. Furthermore, Zeo backs up his partner by turning invisible and restraining Nami to prevent her from escaping! But as fate would have it, the water-absorbing spears are intercepted by Brooke, and it turns out to be ineffective against him (heh :p). Meanwhile, the Franky Shogun is itching for a fight and attacks Ikaros, setting up a match between them. At around the same time, Brooke unknowingly steps on Zeo, and now is forced to take on the stealthy wobbegong himself......
-At another part of the plaza, both Usopp and Chopper are pursued by Dosun, but the reindeer is able to sense the hammerhead's presence with his superior sense of smell. He then blasts the officer away with a new move, "Horn Cannon 11". He then covers up the hole he dug while Usopp uses another Green Star move against Daruma and some other enemy pirates. So now we have reindeer vs. hammerhead, and sniper vs. cookiecutter.....
-Zoro is still clashing with Hyouzou, defending against his assault. Outside the island, Shirahoshi is trying to lead the Noah away from the island, but the injured Van der Decken, who is still alive, slips and hits his head, knocking him out. The ancient ark then begins to descend towards the underwater paradise.......
Uh.... wow, I like how almost NONE of the matchups we predicted turned out to come true. So now we have Brooke taking on Zeo (I soooo wanted Usopp to be his opponent, but I'm at least glad that the soul king gets his own boss battle for once ;)), Chopper vs. Dosun (no revenge against the candy hater?), and Usopp vs. Daruma (well, at least he gets a boss fight....). I had also figured that Decken survived Hody's betrayal, though it looks like he'll still be out of commission for some time....
Oh, and seeing Vivi again is nice and all, but c'mon Oda..... bring us Gedatsu already! :D
Lastly, one more thing to note:
OP will be taking a break next week, so don't expect to see a new chapter thread until around October 5th. Once again: There is no OP chapter next week.
