Let's do this thing! Credit goes to AP's Redon and co. for the info:

-Chapter title is "Termination". Splash is the beginning of a new cover mini story! Back at Wano, the isle of Onigashima is sinking down to the ocean, Titanic-style....

-In his broadcast, Vegapunk says everyone around the world has ten minutes to set up their equipment (such as video den den mushi) to record his message. We see people all over the world gathering to listen to his message, including familiar faces from Dressrosa, Water 7, Foosha village, Morgans' HQ, and the RA base at Kamabakka. Naturally, the elders are now desperate to find the source of Vegapunk's broadcast. Curiously, it seems they can communicate with each other telepathically....

-Meanwhile, back on Egghead, Luffy vs. Saturn and Kizaru continues! The admiral shoots beams from his eyes, but the rubber man dodges them with ease! As for Saturn, he still receives no damage from Luffy's attacks, which confuses the pirate. Eventually, he opts to literally flatten both his opponents like pancakes (with a new technique called Gomu Gomu no Dawn Cymbals), and flings them far away!

-However, Saturn is still unhurt despite being sent flying. His colleagues tell him that terminating Vegapunk's broadcast takes top priority now, so there's no other choice.... but to summon THE REST OF THE ELDERS to Egghead! And indeed, the chapter ends with more summoning circles appearing on the island....!!!!!!

So the rest of the elders are apparently getting involved now.... a rush job by Oda, or was this his intent all along? Either way, a practical mountain of crap has hit the fan, now!

Also, it figures we wouldn't get Vegapunk's message straight away. Guess we gotta wait until the arc's end (maybe even later) to get the details. Oh Oda, you tease!

[grecefar]

that's bullshit!!! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Given the spoilers, the new Wano mini-story will perhaps talk about Yamato's trip through the country (I bet she will become the new Daimyo of Kuri). Regarding Luffy, he seems to be dominating the fight but the fact that Saturn doesn't take damage reminds me a little of Makima from Chaiman Saw in the sense that all the damage she received was sent to someone else or something, and it wasn't I was expecting the rest of the Goroise to arrive at Egghead... summoned with magic circles? (I hope Oda explains that), and it's a shame that we will have to wait 2 weeks (or more) to find out what Vegapunk wanted to tell the world, but in Finally, wait for more spoilers!.

Well... That could be like Hawkins but in a more advanced way.

Considering that Saturn likely ate a spider-based DF, there's a chance that he could cover himself with the threads for protection, such as a reference from Arachnid that Fuuji Alice used to nullify or minimize the damage whenever she's about to take fatal damage.

Gorosei's arrival could escalate things to worse. For Augur and Devon, it's a bountiful result for them.

As for the truth itself, I will enjoy what's in the store. Robin would be most likely surprised if I can predict it.

[Homura7]

Transition arc, they said.

It will be quick, they said.

[The Small One]

Before he did take damage and even lost an arm, so it looks like he changed something.

[Homura7]

This has turned into a battle not about victory or survival, but about making sure that Vegapunk's transmission will be successfully broadcasted.

And that ain't gonna be easy, because now Luffy will face off all the Gorosei. We are truly in the endgame.

[Rainbowman]

Things are really getting serious when the rest of the Elder Stars get involved. The next chapter will certainly reveal what what kind of monstrosities each of them are.

[TURI123456]

I wonder if Kizaru (Borsalino) has no other option except to follow the World Government orders. I mean he cries and it really doesn't seem like he loves or likes the things that happened here or wants to do them.

[Gerard07]

Having seen the chapter, Luffy was holding Saturn and Kizaru well (although the latter was clearly not motivated), Vegapunk programmed his message to be shown in 10 minutes (hopefully they don't cut it) and Saturn summoned the rest of Goroise, I honestly don't believe May Luffy be able to handle everyone alone, I hope he gets help from Sanji, Zoro, the Giants and the ancient robot, it's a shame that we have to wait 2 weeks for the next chapter but anyway, be patient.

Can you clarify something for me, did you show if Robin was able to read the poneglyph that was on Onigashima (the one that Law found before fighting the Yonkou) before that island sank?.

[Kanon]

I should have known better than to expect a big lore dump before a break. The entire "actually, we'll tell you in 10 minutes!" kinda pissed me, actually.

I bet Vegapunk will get to reveal quite a few things but nothing groundbreaking, and the broadcast will be interrupted right when he's about to reveal the name of the ancient kingdom.

[grecefar]

10 minutes = 10 chapters.

My suprise was that he did summoned all of the gorosei there, I thought he would try and fail. That's quite the problem.

The 10 minutes thing was so that people could set up the visual snails and wake up from where it is night time.

Awfully quick to accuse him of rushing ain’t you? Pretty sure the end of the arc is where Uranus nukes the island after Vegapunk’s message manages to at least expose some things about the void century.

[Homura7]

Uranus? Don't you mean the Mother Flame?

And yeah, such colossal magnitude development ain't something you do in a rush, much less when we're in the final saga.

[Gerard07]

Do you think it is possible for them to summon Imu (not necessarily in this arc) in the same way that Saturn summoned the rest of the Goroise?.

[~Yami~]

I hate cliffhanger lmao

Now let's see what the elders can do in 9 minutes
