AGAIN sorry this is late. I was looking for another online place to get Sleepyfans scanlations, only to finally realize that... I could just DL the chapters from SleepyFans themselves. I R DUM.

We start off with a gorgeous color page-spread depicting all the Straw Hats chillin' like villains, Usopp having doodled Strawhat symbols on various parts of their bodies. I especially like Choppers skull, creative drawing there! However it seems like Brook's left out of the graffiti party, which is nothing but a darn old shame says I! If master Usopp managed to get close enough to draw on ladies Nami and Robin's legs, the least I can get is a small doodle somewhere...

We then cut to the Law-pirates who are bitching about how Law has no plans on getting into the New World just yet, but prefers to wait and see how things turn out. Law quickly asserts his pimp-status as he sets his crew in line and tell them to wait while he steals "the seat that's meant for me", prompting his crew to all chime in with...

At least in the Mangastream scanlation, Sleepyfans doesn't have the heart. Wow. Law really is a Rayleigh in training, no wonder he got so moody when the old man showed up- it was just a reminder at how far he's still got to go until uber-pimpdom is his.

On a winter island on the new world Drake is seen talking to WHAT THE EFF-

-IS THAT? That looks like some kind of Battle Franky mishap that got up and WALKED. Number 18 here basically says that this territory's Kaido's turf and that he won't stay still if Drake causes trouble on it. Which seems to be exactly what Drake wants as he transforms and readies himself for battle. Intriguing...

On another Island Apoo and crew are running from a pack of wild boars when they suddenly find themselves...

... Yeah. Not a lot else to say there. What I do have something to say about however comes NEXT page, where we're served a whopper of a pagespread showing everyones favorite burlap-bag of male genitalia, Blackbeard! Blackbeard is apparently having problems since he's currently camping on an island that's MADE OF FIRE, causing his giant buddy Wolf to complain endlessly about how hot it is and how he's tired of swimming. Blackbeard tells him to shove it since because of him that oversized lograft of theirs is breaking down, and as such they've contacted the World Government regarding a trade? Man if I were Blackbeard I sure as shit wouldn't expect the World Government, who I had thoroughly punked and trolled in every which way to want ANYTHING to do with me anymore! We're all introduced to the Blackbeard crew members by name, as Jesus Burgess remarks that they're too attached to the raft to switch it out now and Shiryuu-

Oh, I'm sorry, SHILIEW which I am sure is a word and not just a wacky romanization points out how stupid it is to cross to the New World in a freaking log raft. Avalo makes a motion for leadership but Lafitte goes "lol no" and tells him they're loyal to Blackbeard here. Doc Q is fatalistic, Vasco Shot complains about lack of booze and Catrina complains about lack of clothes. WOMEN AMIRITE? And speaking of women, Auger goes to check on the marines because the exchange in question? Yeah, it's the one remaining unmentioned supernova, Jewelrey Bonney.

Well. I'm just gonna set aside the fact that the sole female Supernova is out of the game now to briefly wonder "Why is Blackbeard doing things in such a roundabout way? Just steal their ship and take off already!" Anyway, they're apparently under paralysis (my guess is on Lafittes hypnosis-powers) as Blackbeard tells Bonney she doesn't have what it takes to make it in the New World, unless of course she'd like to sail with him as his woman. Bonney gives in reply something we've all been wanting to see for quite some time now.

BOOSH, BLACKBEARD. As his crewmates only laugh at their captains poor attempts at mack-daddying, Blackbeard just tells Bonney he wouldn't have wanted someone so vulgar anyway and we're all forced to run because a sudden mudslide just brought down a HAILSTORM of rocks on top of this here glasshouse and there are shards flying EVERYWHERE. Auger interrupts his merry band of retards with a sobering reminder.

I just love how Auger delivers that line. The Blackbeard pirates beat feet because Blackbeard isn't ready to deal with Akainu yet, implying that at some point he WILL be able to touch Akainu without having the lava harm him which is... terrifying, and they all leave amidst merry laughing. Akainu is, of course, not laughing. Laughter is something that cannot be lavapunched, and as such it has no room in his world. What he does have room for is to stand and gloat over Jewelry Bonney, as he states he was alarmed when he heard she ran away but that that's all over now, and Bonney screams that she'll never forgive them... huh. If you ask me, Bonneys story looks like it's FAR from over. She seems to have quite the past behind her if she can alarm Akainu...

And speaking of ominous foreboding- we then cut to DoFlamingo having a meeting with a MYSTERIOUS MAN in Bowler Hat and Furtrimmed Coat, where DoFlamingo reveals that Moria is alive! The old shallot apparently merged with the ground and escaped, but he was more dead than alive when he did so, which is apparently good enough to consider the job done for DoFlamingo. Mr Bowler tries to chew DoFlamingo out for not fulfilling the job, prompting the good birdie to get up in Mr Bowlers face and remind him that no matter how much power he has in the World Government, he can't do jack shit to DoFlamingo who does whatever he wants, whenever he wants it and if he doesn't like it, he can shove their deal where the sun doesn't shine.

Then on the island of Torino, where Chopper has returned and... oh, Chopper.

Suffice to say the villagers don't buy it for a second and Chopper drops the act almost immediately. Chopper has returned to the island to study some rare medicinal herbs he haven't seen before, while the villagers invite him to their curiously well-stocked library detailing all kinds of knowledge. Chopper then takes a moment to indulge in some casual racism-

My, these darkies have a sort of wild intelligence to them!

-as he has a flashback to how much he misses Luffy and how he resolves that one day, he WILL make it back and be of great use, even if he'll have to turn into a monster to do so...

And back in the land of Kamabakka, we have Sanji! Being mature!

Oh Sanji. We then see how he notices that the food they make is really good, and then...

Ha HA! Damn right you're not gonna get to learn seme cooking BITCH! Accept your role and prepare to receive for the rest of your existence! Oooh but anyway, Ivankov reveals that they can't just teach this art to some outsider who won't live like they do, prompting Sanji to take a moment to indulge in some casual sexism-

-making Ivankov go "Well okay then" as he tells Sanji that if he can steal the ninety nine recipes from Okama Kenpo users while every single Okama on the island is trying to put him in a dress, he can have their secrets! He has a flashback to how badly he wants to... support Luffy (and you wonder why you can't learn seme-cooking master Sanji) and resolves to get this show on the road!

Well, this looks like it all leads into the oncoming time-skip fairly well- all the crewmembers are doing SOME kind of crazy training/preparation in the places they were sent to which was probably all part of Kumas plan. And then when we've had them all train properly we're gonna get a big reunion (hopefully by chapter 600?) and we're gonna kick off the New Year of One Piece and all will be awesome. Only thing I wonder about is how Brook is going to improve from being paraded around on a circus, but I'm sure there's some plan or another here in play. So, until next week- oh right no One Piece this coming week. Well. Guess it's until NEXT next week then!
