Full spoiler is here! Credit goes to AP's Redon for the initial Chinese spoilers, and Aohige for the summary of the raw:
-Chapter title is "My way of returning the favor". The splash page features, interestingly enough, Heraclesun (that dude who helped Usopp with his training during the skip, remember).
-As Luffy continues laughing at Pica's voice, the enraged officer throws a punch at him. With a fist whose fingers are each larger than an entire building, the punch lands on Luffy's group, destroying part of the city! Naturally, the supernova trio are blasted away by the punch, and land near the coliseum. Zoro says he has no idea how to defeat the stone giant who dwarfs even Oars in size.....
-The three then encounter Cavendish, who attempts to attack Law due to also being from the "worst generation". Of course, Luffy stops him, telling him that he's a friend. The handsome one complies, saying that he owes the Straw-Hats due to God Usopp saving his life. He offers to behead Doflamingo on Luffy's behalf, but the rubber one refuses, saying that beating him is HIS job. Cabbage thinks Luffy is once again trying to steal his attention, and the trio escape him while he's stuck in another delusion. Soon, they run into even more of the tournament fighters (such as the Chinjaos, Elizabello, Ideo, etc.), who ALSO want to take down Dofla as gratitude for Usopp. Luffy once again refuses, getting into an argument with them. At this point, a new group of warriors released from the toy curse charge at Luffy for his bounty, but they instead get thrashed by the group who are indebted to Usopp. During the hubbub, Luffy encounters Ucy (the Fighting Bull from the tournament) and the two have a happy reunion.
-Meanwhile, a grunt tells Pica that Luffy can't be found, but at that moment, Ucy charges towards the stone giant with Luffy's group in tow (and amusingly, Abdullah and Jeet, heh). Pica prepares to attack again, but both Don Chinjao and King Elizabello team up and use attacks so powerful that they destroy the officer's arm! Luffy once again tells them to butt out of his business, but the tourney warriors simply tell him to shut up, as they all owe him a favor....!!!!
Huh, so it looks like it's gonna take teamwork to beat Pica. I actually find this pretty exciting, because it's been a good while since we had a proper team battle! :) BTW, for those wondering about Fujitora, it seems that he was forced to retreat as soon as Pica was about to launch his first attack (even saying that he sensed something bad incoming). So no more Zoro vs. Fuji for now (not that I find that surprising).....
