Well, the break's over and we're one chapter away from hitting 700! What surprises await us this time around? Let's find out! Credit goes to Aohige and the other folks at AP for the summary and translation:
-Chapter title is "Morning Edition". No ministory this week, since there's a color page instead.
-Despite the arrival of Kuzan (better known as Aokiji), Doflamingo still attempts to kill Smoker. However, he's frozen before he gets the chance to do so. Nonetheless, he easily breaks free of the ice and tells the former admiral he has no intention of fighting him. Before he leaves, Dofla says he's heard unpleasant rumors about Kuzan, and finally sets off.
-While Smoker's wounds are treated by his men, he has a chat with Kuzan. It seems the ice-man has no qualms about leaving the WG, as he says there's advantages in having no affiliation. This leads Smoker to think that Aokiji has connections to the underworld, which was how he was able to locate the place. On that note, it's also revealed that the ice-man's transport is a
GIANT PENGUIN. 
-It's revealed that Doflamingo is currently the
king of Dressrosa. Furthermore, Kuzan intends to report the whole PH incident to Akainu. He notes that this will undoubtedly be the biggest case that the current marines has dealt with since their formation two years ago.......
-Back to the Straw-Hats, Usopp wants Kinemon to give them disguises so they're not spotted by enemies, but the samurai is busy sparring with Zoro. During the fight, he notices Zoro's Shuusui (the sword he obtained from Ryuuma), and thinks that he stole it. Meanwhile, it turns out that Momo is popular with the ladies, which makes him the envy of the crew's perverts.
-The next day arrives, and the newspapers have arrived. It reports that
Doflamingo has quit the Shichibukai, and has abdicated his throne at Dressrosa. Furthermore, it even reports
all of the supernova alliances. Dressrosa is in an uproar, and amidst all the confusion Law once again contacts his former captain......
Wow, this sure was a plot-heavy chapter, that it was! So Aokiji's apparently got underworld connections, Dofla seems to have given up his position, and to top it all off, Akainu is now aware of the pirate alliances. Welp, this pretty much guarantees there to be bounty hikes all around, it sure does! Also, gotta hand it to Momo for being more a pimp than his dear ol' dad!
The full chapter should be out in a few hours' time, but in the meantime, here's the awesome Jump cover:
