Wooo! An early spoiler this week!
So as I'm sure you all know by now, Luffy and co. just started a new adventure in an island known as Punk Hazard, where they encounter a creature that was only known to exist in fairy tales.....
a dragon. What will become of this fateful encounter? Well, let's find out! Credit goes to ohana for the spoiler and CCC from APforums for translation:
-Chapter title is "Adventure on the Burning Island". Ministory has Iceburg with Pauly and the other shipwrights, as well as the sea train.
-Luffy and co. fight against the dragon. During the fight, the monster asks them if they're friends with a certain Shichibukai. Luffy agrees to help Zoro finish off the dragon, and discovers that there's a person stuck to its head, who was actually the one talking. Both Luffy and Usopp then distract it, and Zoro finally slays it with a powerful single-blade technique.....
-Back at the Sunny, Sanji is bringing some food for the rest of the crew, but discovers that they all passed out from sleeping gas. The chef himself soon succumbs to the gas as well, and some strangers in gas masks appear. They count 4 pirates, and decide to capture them to give to their master (known as "M" at this point) as tribute. However, it seems that they failed to notice Brooke....
-Back to Luffy's group, they pull out the person who was stuck to the dragon's head, but..... it turns out to be the lower half of a person's body! The group thinks the half-person is a ghost or zombie, and the lower half then runs off, cursing the shichibukai he mentioned earlier. Luffy then shouts for the lower half to join his crew!
Wow.... this is quite a bizarre chapter. A fun one too, at that! This is reminding me a lot of how Thriller Bark began, actually. So apparently a warlord is the leader of those samurai? And somehow a person who's only a lower half of a body emerged from the dragon (who Luffy wants to make his next nakama?). It's amazing how crazy things are getting already. I most certainly can't wait for the full chapter's release.....
