Edit: Heh, thanks for making the thread for me James. Anyway, as some of you are already aware, spoilers are out! Credit goes to Redon from AP forums for this summary:

Little summary, chapter will be out tomorrow.

- Mugiwara crew with Chinese Kung Fu style in lead color pages.
- Bellamy talks with Luffy, he says Luffy has a strong Haki.
- Bartolomeo hears that Bellamy calls Luffy "Mugiwara" and he shocks.
- Usopp, Robin, Law and Caesar are in iron bridge, giant fighting fish try to attack them.
- Usoop and Robin fights with them.
- Law releases Caesar to help them but he has Caesar's heart.
- Law wants to be ready to fight when they on the way back so he doesn't want to waste strength to attack the fish.
- The middle of the bridge has been destroyed.
- Caesar transforms into a balloon and then they pass the bridge.
- They arrive at Green Bit, a big forest.
- They see a warship.
- Robin goes into forest with Usopp and find some marines that are talking with someone that they can't see.
- Then someone takes marine's clothes off quickly.
- Robin uses her ability to catch it and calls it little man, こびと in Japanese.

Nice that we get some focus on Law's team now! Anyway, I guess the "little man" Robin caught is one of the fairies. And it probably doesn't help that they may encounter Fujitora while in Green Bit....

'Kay, I updated the thread with the summary. Discussion, start!

[mrShady]

So Luffy's disguise is officially invalid?

The rest is not that surprising. It was the only group still MIA and most of us figured what they were up to (heck it was even told).
The possible fairy is a surprise, I wonder if they are under Dofla's control.
Can't really see the new turn Oda was talking about....

[marvelB]

Actually, I've been seeing some folks elsewhere point out that the word used to describe the "little man" Robin caught was also the same word used for the "dwarf" race that was mentioned a few times throughout the series. So I guess this means that the fairies are actually dwarves, I guess? If so, that would actually fit in with the "new race/species" thing that Oda hinted at last year (as well as being that "new turn" that he mentioned more recently).

[mrShady]

Hmmm dwarfs you say, that would be fun. I wonder how they look like *has gnome visions *. Or more fairy like?
It's not really a new turn though, unless the dwarf/fairy race does something really major plot wise.

[Rainbowman]

Finally we meet a dwarf character.

[Magin]

Is it possible that a dwarf may become the 10th member, and that's the new turn?

As much as I like Jinbe, having a a former Shichibukai as part of the crew would be too much, even at this stage of the game

[khoa1708]

what if Bartolomeo is trying to win the fruit for Luffy because he admires him and wants to join the crew?

[golgo13]

Bartolomeo's reaction is pretty interesting. I wonder if it is because of love, hate or something else of luffy.

That would be pretty cool and a shocking twist. Seeing how we are talking about little people which if the "little man" was actually the man stuck inside the chest.

[articuzwolf]

^ nah, "he" has to stay to take care weird animal there, and I can't see "him" survive until new world as well

[aohige]

Several things to add:

Luffy & Bellamy's conversation is a bit touching.
Bellamy regrets how he hasn't changed a bit, feeling disgraced, but Luffy comforts him that he has indeed changed.
Bellamy replies that Luffy is the one that changed, what with powerful haki and cheering him on.
He tells him his pride has been broken, but contrary to these statements, smiles.
Barto overhears the conversation and looks shocked at the name "Straw Hat"

Law's ability requires stamina. It's not limitless.
The more he uses, (probably both number of usage as well as strength of usages) it wears him down.

The little people, not visible from Law team's perspective, caught one of the battle fish and hurrays at the catch. They were planning to take it home and eat it, but noticed Law's group and ran off.
Law's group only heard their voices.

The marine ship isn't really "docked" at Green Bit, it looks like someone threw it in, as it's rammed itself into the forest.

The "dwarf" Robin mentions is the same race that was on the human auction list, as well as Usopp's tall tail about them eating a gigantic fish to Kaya.

In other words, yet another one of Usopp's tall tale came to reality lol.

[danielevo]

not really good chapter.. but the scientist being a slave is very funny, haha..
so the fairy come out, i think the one who take zoro sword and a voice from sunny is a member from those fairy too..

[~Yami~]

after waiting for 2 weeks, we got a good grasp about what's happening to exchange team

dwarves!!! This is another race that needs to be in One Piece...
nice thinking, Oda...

[ronin myael]

so arrogant bellamy has indeed changed, eh? that's nice. never thought i'd feel any sympathy for that bastard.

it's good to know that law's immense power has its limitations. it draws a lot of energy from him every time he uses it. his abilities are not so broken after all. the heart tattoo is pretty cool in a quirky way though.

[vansonbee]

Robin looks cute in that new clothing she is wearing. That hat reminds me of miss. Valentine. XD

and Law & Robin either looks good together as a tease or as siblings. black/white panels ^^

[aohige]

From the TOC page.... according to Kishimoto (Naruto artist), Oda was drawing next chapters while he was bedridden in the hospital.
Kishi saw the pages at the hospital room... so I guess he went to check up on Oda at the hospital.

Bakuman much?

[Kanon]

So the fairies are actually dwarves. I wonder what they're going to look like.

Yeah, Bellamy is a pretty cool dude now. He has changed so much. This really makes me want to find out what kind of experiences shaped him into the man he is today.
