Okay, we're back in business! Credit goes to AP's Redon for the spoiler:

-Chapter title is "Rook". Splash page features Hancock.

-Chopper's group finally manages to meet up with Luffy and Sanji through a mirror left on the ground. They bring each other up to speed on the situation, which ends with Luffy announcing that they'll crash the wedding. Jinbei warns the group that the ministers aren't the only forces to watch out for if they really plan to go through with this.... as many underworld bosses from around the world will be in attendance, as well. However, Jinbei wants to focus on one underground boss in particular: Capone Gang Bege!

-Jinbei delves a bit into Capone's background: In West Blue, he was one of the top five mafia crimelords who controlled the underworld there. As it turns out, he was one vicious bastard who enjoyed decapitating animals for fun! And his sick hobby didn't just apply to little critters..... as he targeted the other mob bosses' heads, as well! Oddly, he wasn't even interested in stealing their territory. What's more, he would lure those seeking revenge on him into his castle, kill those individuals, and ridicule them for dying a dog's death....!!!

-As Capone was still being chased by the avengers of his murder victims, he eventually found a perfect cover as one of Big Mom's cronies. Upon proving his worth to the Yonkou, he was designated as a "Rook" of her army, giving him full authority of the defensive forces! However, Capone seeks to fulfill his own agenda with his newfound authority: He plans to take Big Mom's HEAD! After finishing his story, Jinbei then makes a startling proposal: FORMING AN ALLIANCE WITH CAPONE!!!! His reasoning is that they should work together since they have a common enemy (Big Mom). Interestingly, Luffy agrees to the proposal!

-Jinbei says that both crews will meet once he gets in contact with Capone. Speaking of the mobster pirate, we see him at his base. He considers Jinbei's alliance proposal a good idea, since the more people there are to oppose Big Mom, the better. Apparently, he's curious as to how Luffy will react when they meet, and is considering killing the rubber man if he dislikes him....!!!!

When they see Chiffon, everyone is going to say "yes" to tying her up.

[Ramero]

I don't get it... Capone already saw Straw Hats as the most craziest pirates in his lifetime and why he want to kill Luffy if he dislikes him anyway?

There's no one crazier than Straw Hats when it comes to trouble.

[Kanon]

I'm a bit surprised Luffy agreed to the alliance after hearing all that sick stuff about Capone.

[necrolyte]

^I agree that it doesn't sound like him. I guess Oda just needs Capone at the moment so Luffy had to agree

Hmm... I think he likes him for ridding of Doflamingo.

Why? It's not like this is the first time Luffy has agreed to (temporarily) ally himself with scumbags out of expediency.

I wonder what Trafalgar Law would think of this alliance? 🤔

Since they are Supernovas i think when they are reunited they will have some chat first regarding of two years itself not to mention Capone never seen Rayleigh before so i think Capone will be surprised to see Luffy is the apprentice of Rayleigh.

[bhl88]

This is the guy who had to make an alliance with Crocodile (out of necessity)

[WyrdMonger]

I read the chapter. Bege really loves screwing with the powerful. A true warmonger so and so.

[Ultragunner]

Luffy is actually a lot sharper and wittier than you might think

He easily caught Vivi when she was hiding something, and last chapter with Sanji's BS
and yeah, he did ally himself with Crocodile to escape Impel Down

All in all, Luffy is a type of guy that gets the job done..... if he feels like it that is

[mashingan]

Hohoho, as I expected that Capone planning to do something with wedding ceremony

But I didn't expect even Caesar is sitting with him together

[khoa1708]

i have to admit, that pic with Capone on the chair surrounded by his henchmen looks pretty cool

and people forget luffy's weird ability to judge people... remember, he picked robin up when no one wanted and worked with law when everyone else objected, etc...

[~Yami~]

aaahh I love this development...
considering how crazy Luffy-Law alliance before, I can expect something similar will happen when two supernovas joined hands
Luffy is really used his brain to do this... or probably he trusted Jinbei too much

I knew Ceasar would play a part in this, he's too powerful to sit on the sidelines when the strawhats desperately need everyone on board for this coup.

[ZGoten]

Luffy's going to negotiate with a Mafia boss. Oh, this will be great.

[FlareKnight]

Not a bad move. Rather than recklessly charging in (although that might still happen) making use of temporary allies isn't bad. They have a difficult goal, a difficult opponent, and a lot of people to worry about. Not to mention they aren't at full strength without Zoro. So covering for that with help (even somewhat unlikable help) has merits.

Plus will be fun to see Luffy try to make this negotiation work .

[grecefar]

Well luffy needs all the help possible if they're going against big mon, and what better with someone who's after her head anyway, it's good to see the supernovas "helping" each other.

[Ravagerblade]

Anybody see the guy on the left looks like Ceasar, could be his brother from the last page of chapter.
