It's that time! Credit goes to AP's Redon and co. for info:
-Chapter title is "Warrior God of Science and Defense, Jay Garcia Saturn". Splash is a color page promoting the upcoming anime adaption of Monsters, Oda's one-shot that first introduced us to Ryuma. Fittingly, the spread features everyone from the Shimotsuki clan, Zoro included!
-Having heard Atlas' command, the Pacifistas once again fight the marines! Bonney joins in as well, facing off against two vice admirals! One of them, an old lady named
Bluegrass, has the powers of the
Nori Nori (ride) no Mi, giving her the ability to control anything she rides on! In this case, she rides one of the Pacifistas, which gives Bonney trouble. Thankfully, Sanji comes along to help out just in time.
-Suddenly, a magic circle appears in the middle of the island, which has the number "5" etched upon it. The marines then announce that Saturn is now on the island, and all soldiers of the rear admiral rank or below must not gaze upon him! Unfortunately, one grunt disobeys that order and looks at the elder.... and literally pays for it with his
head. Thankfully, us readers get a full view of Saturn with no repercussions. He seems to be some sort of awakened mythical-type Zoan, in the form of a demonic spider (similar to Black Maria). While the name of his power is yet to be revealed, it seems his form is based on the
ushi-oni yokai.
-Back to Luffy vs. Kizaru, both combatants are starting to get tired. The admiral then attempts to attack Vegapunk again, shooting a beam at the tank, but his shot misses! However, his botched shot still destroys the cloud road the tank was riding on, causing it to fall to the ground. It's at that moment when Saturn's voice booms across the whole island, commanding the Pacifistas to stop fighting! Though everyone is distracted by the elder's presence at first, the battles shortly resume. Luffy catches up to Kizaru and lands a blow on him, causing them both to plummet to the ground! Saturn takes notice of the falling Luffy....
-Upon landing on the ground, Luffy's G5 mode expires, turning him into an old man once again! As for Saturn, he's confronted by the group of Bonney, Vegapunk, Sanji, and Franky! Bonney recalls one of Kuma's memories, where someone orders Vegapunk to erase the former warlord's mind. Enraged, she leaps at Saturn,
stabbing him! Surprisingly, it seems that she actually managed to
wound the elder...!!!!
