Hey, guys! The Golden Week holiday starts next week in Japan, so that means an earlier Jump release.... which means a good chance of earlier chapters for us, as well! ;) There's no summary yet, but we do have a spoiler pic of the magazine cover, courtesy of AP's Redon:

^Simply put, this chapter marks the beginning of the
REVERIE ARC!!!! :D And now the summary, courtesy of AP's Redon and YonkouProductions:
-Chapter title is "The Fifth Emperor". Ministory focuses on Orlumbus.
-As it turns out,
Sanji was given a raid suit by his brother Niji! However, he doesn't want to use it. Luffy and Chopper try to convince him to not throw it away since they think he might be able to shoot beams with it, but Sanji says leave that business to Franky, heh. Nami also still has Zeus with her.... who gets into an argument with Sanji over who should be Nami's slave. Amusingly, Sanji says
he should be the slave since he was there first, lol. :heh:
-Soon, we get new bounty news: Sanji's head is now worth
330 million due to the news of the Big Mom assassination plot spreading. His poster also now has "DEAD OR ALIVE" on it.... but interestingly, his full name is on the poster as well, which Sanji is none too happy about since it associates him with his estranged family. But at the very least, he's satisfied that he has a higher bounty than Zoro now. As for Luffy.... apparently, his bounty went down to 150 million, which disappoints him.
-Meanwhile, we see various characters preparing for the Reverie. The mermaid princess Shirahoshi decides to attend the Reverie in order to prove herself as not being weak anymore. People such as Crocodile, Vivi, Dalton, Bartolomeo, Capone, and Chiffon are seen reading the papers, as Luffy's legend spreads. While more monarchs gather for the Reverie, Akainu receives news that one of the queens attending got kidnapped, which enrages him.
-Meanwhile, we see Viola and other Dressrosa residents reading the paper. Some pirates (the same group who kidnapped the queen from before) prepare to kidnap Viola, but some marines put a stop to their dastardly plan.... namely,
Coby and Helmeppo! It turns out the two of them were assigned to guard the Dressrosan royalty on their trip to the Reverie. Coby is particularly happy about the news regarding Luffy. Rebecca asks him if he likes Luffy, but the young marine responds that the two of them are enemies.
-Meanwhile, we see the Yonkou's reaction to the news regarding Luffy: Kaidou wonders why the person who obstructed his deal is messing with that "old lady" (referring to Luffy and Big Mom). We also see Blackbeard, who says it's too soon for Luffy to be considered an emperor. As for Big Mom herself, she's quite displeased by the news going around..... the papers claim that Luffy "defeated" her, and now the rubber man is considered to be a
FIFTH EMPEROR! The empress swears vengeance upon Luffy and Morgans for spreading this "fake" news. Finally, we see Shanks, who says that the time for him and Luffy to meet again is approaching soon....
-Back at the Sunny, Brooke takes another look at Luffy's bounty poster. It wasn't 150 million as previously thought. As it turns out, Luffy's head is now worth
ONE BILLION, FIVE HUNDRED MILLION....!!!!!!
