It's that time again! Credit goes to AP's Redon and co. for the info:
-Chapter title is "Leader of the bandits of Atamayama, Ashura Douji". Splash features Robin.
-Oden tells the Scabbards that he traveled to the future using Toki's ability! However, one of the samurai is not buying this explanation..... that individual being Ashura Douji. Raizou isn't fooled either, as he reminds his comrades that Toki's power can't go backward in time.... their master's death simply can't be reversed. That's when "Oden" suddenly tries to attack Kinemon, but Ashura pushes him out of the way, taking the blow in his place! The truth is now clear:
This "Oden" was a fake created by fellow Scabbard Kanjurou, who was previously thought to have fallen!!! Kiku is regretful that she didn't finish him off earlier, but Ashura forgives her, saying he understands their feelings. As the Scabbards battle the ink doppelganger, Kanjurou says it's no use searching for his real body, as he's already a safe distance away (in fact, controlling the clone eats up a lot of energy). What's more, using Bao Huang's surveillance network, he's free to hunt down Momonosuke again!
-That's when the fake Oden reveals a surprise up his sleeve:
A bomb! Ashura is the first to notice this, and tells his fellow Scabbards to protect Momo as he tackles the ink clone through a window! The bomb explodes, taking Ashura out of action. As the remaining Scabbards prepare to continue their mission, a new obstacle blocks their way:
Jack! Some minks tried to stop him, but he took them out. Inuarashi tells his comrades to go ahead while he deals with the all-star alone. Jack points out that there's no full moon to help him this time, but Inu replies that there's no poison gas weapon, either! Meanwhile, elsewhere in the castle, someone is running around setting the place ablaze! It turns out the responsible party is none other than
Kurozumi Orochi!!! He intends to burn the island down along with Kaidou's forces, and Fukurokuju is at his side, silencing anyone who happened to catch a glimpse of the still breathing shogun....!!!
-Meanwhile, we get another scene between Momo and Yamato. The young lord explains that he becomes a dragon when feeling strong emotions such as shock or sadness, but he's getting better control of his transformations now. Yamato wonders if Luffy is okay, to which Momo responds that he is, though he's in a weakened state right now. Shinobu wonders how he could possibly know that. Finally, we cut back to the rooftop, where Luffy's team are still facing off against Big Mom and Kaidou.... the latter's hybrid form finally being fully revealed to us readers. Luffy's indeed weakened like Momo said, but he still fights on. The other supernovas discuss taking down one of the emperors as soon as possible, as fighting them both at once is a hellish ordeal. But Luffy says he's experienced his fair share of hell several times as it is......!!!!
