Okay guys, let's do this! Credit goes to Redon and co. for info:

-Chapter title is "A world in which it's better to die than live". Splash features Buggy.

-The vice admirals intend to back up Saturn, but he tells them to hold their position, as he could have easily dodged Bonney's attack if he wanted. As proof, his wounds instantly heal after pulling out the sword! The elder then makes his move, as he unleashes a strange aura from his eyes, which wound both Bonney and Sanji! Next, after seeing an immobilized Kizaru, Saturn decides to target the weakened Luffy next, as he prepares to crush him.....

-....But he ends up getting blocked by Franky! Everyone is unable to move, which Vegapunk surmises is because of Saturn's DF power. He then proceeds to grab Bonney, who accuses him of killing her father! A brief flashback shows Kuma telling her the tale of Nika, even recreating the drum music for her. He tells her that he too wishes to be a hero of liberation like Nika was. Back in the present, Saturn reveals that Kuma is part of the Buccaneer race, who have committed a grave crime in the past. Apparently, the Buccaneer people carry the blood of the giant race, which gives them their great strength. It's here that another flashback begins.....

-47 years ago, in the Sorbet kingdom, Kuma was born into an average family. His father was a Buccaneer, while his mother was a normal human. Unfortunately, the hospital's records of Kuma's lineage end up getting leaked to the WG, and soon his entire family gets captured and forced into slavery at Mariejois! Some time later, after his mother's death, Kuma's father recites the tale of Nika to him, which was passed down through their clan..... but he, too, ends up getting killed by the Celestial Dragons shortly afterward.

-Nine years later (or 38 years ago), we learn that the CDs hold a special competition every three years.... a literal human hunting game. Basically, they choose a non-WG affiliated island to hold their sick game, release their most problematic slaves, then proceed to hunt them down like animals! Even worse, they make sure to hunt down the rest of the island's native population, as well! After finishing their twisted competition, the government then proceeds to annex the islands for themselves. The island they chose this particular year was a certain island in West Blue..... known as God Valley. The original king of the island protested their ritual, but in response he ends up getting slain..... bu none other than a younger Figarland Garling (who we were introduced to back in chapter 1086). Apparently, he looked just about identical to Shanks back then, with the exception of his hair (which still has the crescent moon style).

-Saturn is also present at God Valley (who's noted to look identical to his present self). He gets told that the child Buccaneer slave who tried to escape was recaptured. It's here at the end of the chapter that we see the young Kuma. He's not the only child slave present either, as there's also a girl named Ginny (or Jinny?), and.... a young EMPORIO IVANKOV!!! Yes. it turns out that the future revolutionaries first met at the land of God Valley....!!!!
