Let's get to it! Credit to Redon and co. for the info:
-Chapter title is "Kumachi". Splash features Zoro.
-Continuing the flashback, as the Celestial Dragons' barbaric hunting game begins, Garp is contacted by the (at the time) fleet admiral, Kong! He says that something huge is going down at God Valley, as several big-name pirates are making their way to the island.... including Roger. Apparently, the Celestial Dragons had stolen something from Hachinosu, and the pirates want to take it back....
-Meanwhile, the slaves concoct a plan to escape from God Valley.... by stealing the Devil Fruits that are meant to be the prizes for the hunting competition. As a means of distraction, Ginny leaked the info about this contest to the outside world, guaranteeing outside intervention! Kuma also volunteers to be a decoy since his Buccaneer blood gives him a better chance of survival than most. Soon enough, the Rocks pirates make landfall, causing a huge stir in God Valley! It's not long before Roger's crew and Garp's fleet land, as well! Amidst all the chaos, Kuma and Ivankov manage to reach the fruits, but Iva ends up getting mugged by Linlin! Kuma, on the other hand, is lucky enough to eat his fruit right away....
-...But as soon as he does, he's confronted by none other than Saturn! As the elder assaults him, Kuma questions the world's inequalities, and vows to use his newfound to help people, just like Nika did. Unfortunately, us readers don't get to see the rest of the God Valley incident unfold.... at least, not yet. Instead, we skip ahead to when Kuma and his friends have safely reached the Sorbet kingdom. As it turns out, young Kuma managed to save over 500 innocent lives during that turmoil! But now that everyone is safe, the time has come for Iva to set off to sea and enjoy his newfound freedom.
-As for Ginny, she decides to stay with Kuma (who she calls "Kumachi", like the chapter title). They begin living an honest life together, and during one meal, Kuma notes how big of an appetite she has. In the end, the two find themselves in tears as they realize how happy they are to have freedom.....
