How do you do, people? As always, here's the latest OP info direct from T and translated by CCC from AP:


-Chapter title is "Gas Gas Fruit". The splash page features Nami and Chopper in a Cinderella type of setting.


-Sanji (in Nami's body) strips his clothes and goes swimming in the lake to search for Kinemon's torso. Meanwhile, Law meets with Monet in the lab, and asks her for her help. The two then set off someplace.


-Back to Luffy vs. Caesar, the supernova inhales some of the scientist's lethal gases, but he's unaffected. Once again, he notes that his resistance to poison is thanks to his past battle with Magellan, but CC says that his toxins shouldn't be lumped together with the former warden's. Luffy beats him up some more with some haki-infused attacks, and even avoids an explosion from the slime. However, once he manages to capture Caesar again, he suddenly passes out while the scientist laughs triumphantly.....


-Back at the lab, Law is suddenly in pain and collapses. Law asks who's there, and a new mystery man appears. Law is shocked by the appearance of the stranger while Monet giggles on. The man says it's been a long time since they've last met, and notes how much Law has grown.......




It's twist after twist with this storyline! So now a new enemy appears. Needless to say, we don't see his face just yet, but looking at the raw he doesn't seem to be a familiar character. I've already seen some people guessing that it's Aokiji, but I'm under the impression that it's someone new, probably Joker.


And it's kinda cool to see that Luffy still lost against Caesar even with his use of haki. It figures that CC can make deadlier concoctions than Magellan, so Luffy's gonna have to come up with a new strategy when they have their eventual rematch. Yep, definitely a cool chapter here. Which makes it all the more unfortunate that.....




NOTE: ODA WILL BE TAKING A BREAK NEXT WEEK SO DON'T EXPECT TO SEE THE NEXT CHAPTER THREAD UNTIL 6/27. I REPEAT: THERE WILL BE NO CHAPTER NEXT WEEK.
