Hey guys, it's been a while! Now that my computer's up and running again I can catch the spoilers now (though I'm a little late this time, what with the next chapter being released and all, heh). Anyway, spoiler summary translation credit goes to Aohige:



-Chapter title is "Seemingly non-existent Island". The ministory involves Caribou arriving at a snowy island.


-The first portion of the chapter focuses on Brownbeard, who tries to warn his men about Caesar's true nature. Sadly, his efforts are in vain. Before CC is about to finish off the pirate, Luffy busts into the scene with an Elephant Gun!


-An angry Luffy asks CC what's the deal with the island. The scientist answers that it's like air: It exists, yet at the same time, it doesn't. He also tells Luffy that he doesn't know what kind of mess he's getting into by teaming up with Law. Law wants to capture him because he's the only one who knows how to produce SAD, and Doflamingo's SAD factory produces artificial Zoan devil fruits called "SMILE". Furthermore, One of the Four Emperors already has an army of SMILE users under their wing....!!!!


-CC then warns Luffy that by sabotaging their plans, he'll attract the wrath of just about ALL of the superpowers in the New World. After listening to the story, he just knocks the crap out of the scientist, and says he doesn't care, as he's done nothing BUT piss of world powers this whole time....!!!




Oh Luffy, don't ever change. Anyways, great to finally learn what the deal with that SAD stuff is. Naturally, I'm very interested in learning which of the yonkou has a Zoan army (I'm guessing Kaidou). But even if Luffy does piss off the world powers, he'll still be needing lots of powerful allies on his side, methinks....
