Last week we finally learned the identity of the master of Punk Hazard. What other mysteries surround him? Credit goes to T for the summary, and various AP forums members (kudou, CCC, etc.) for translation:

-Chapter title is "M. Caesar Crown". No ministory this week since there's a color page instead.

-Tashigi says she recalls hearing reports of kidnappings around the general area of PH, and Smoker says that info is news to him. It turns out that G5 gets reports of kidnappings often but upon reaching the papers they get altered into news of accidents, shipwrecks and pirate attacks instead. However, Smoker says he doesn't believe that there's a mole amongst the G5 group, and tells some of them to steal a ship and report to the government while he exposes the leader of this conspiracy. Meanwhile, Caesar is talking with the aforementioned mole via denden (who is called "JOKER" at this point) and gives the scientist permission to eliminate the Straw-Hats and marines, under the pretext that they died in an "accident" in the fire ocean.....

-Caesar orders his men to capture who they can, but to be careful since the captain is a 400 million bounty head. Monet (Harpy) says that Luffy might be even stronger than his bounty indicates. Brownbeard's crew then beg the scientist to save their captain, but he has them test a new "medicine" first. Meanwhile, Usopp made masks for hia body-swapped crew companions in order to tell them apart. Brownbeard believes that Law will save him, and says again that the rookies from Luffy's generation are the greatest monsters. It turns out that he lost both of his legs during his encounter with Hawkins before the skip, and was sent to PH. Many other prisoners were sent to the island to be experimented on, but were abandoned after the incident from 4 years prior. A bunch of those prisoners also lost the use of their legs due to the nerve gases there, but they view Caesar as being their savior. Furthermore, Law arrived at the island just a few months ago and modified the disabled prisoners into centaurs. Brownbeard then tells the Straw-Hats that they'll be captured and experimented on, as well.....

-It seems the medicine Caesar gave his slaves was a failure. We then find out that he was indeed the one responsible for the incident at PH 4 years ago. He is now a former scientist with a bounty of 300 million on his head, and is a wielder of the gas gas fruit. He says that he'll prove himself to be the world's top scientist. Smoker says that failure to stop Caesar will result in grave consequences.....

-BTW, looks like there's an extra little newspaper segment this issue with content like eyewitness accounts of seeing Moria alive and talk of Bonney's imprisonment. Furthermore, there's talks of Blackbeard increasing his powers and that the whereabouts of Kuzan (better known to us as Aokiji) are unknown....

...Whew! Quite an info-packed chapter this week! So apparently there's a mole amongst Smoker's group, eh? And now we learn what happened to Brownbeard. Still a gas fruit sounds a little similar to Smoker's, IMO. I'm sure there will be many differences, but.... eh. Oh well, still looking forward to his design. Anyhoo:

NOTE: THIS CHAPTER WILL BE RELEASED ON A DOUBLE ISSUE, SO THERE WILL BE ANOTHER BREAK COMING UP DUE TO THE GOLDEN WEEK HOLIDAY. HOWEVER, THIS DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THERE WON'T BE A CHAPTER NEXT WEEK. SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR A NEW THREAD BY NEXT WEEKEND AT THE VERY LEAST.
