What better way to kick off the new year than some juicy spoilers? Credit goes to AP's Redon and pewpiece for the info:
-Chapter title is "Thanks, dad". Splash features Sanji.
-As Kuma is about to punch Saturn, the former warlord has brief flashes of his past. The elder is particularly shocked to see him, since he already activated Kuma's self destruct switch several days ago, when he was rescued by the RA! But that doesn't matter now.... as Kuma's fist lands a devastating blow on Saturn, sending him flying across the island!
-As the marines reel in shock, Sanji's group discover that they can now move again, and decide to escape! According to Vegapunk, the self destruct mechanism wouldn't have actually destroyed Kuma's body, but would have simply shut him down.../ so the fact that he's still moving is still a mystery to the doctor. He then comes to the conclusion that it may be a result of a unique trait the Buccaneer race has! Curiously, in the midst of this chaos, Luffy seems to have vanished....
-Saturn recovers from Kuma's strike, instantly healing all his wounds.... including the arm he lost. He prepares to attack again, but Sanji blocks him! Vegapunk has Atlas take Kuma to safety while the others continue fighting. However, Kizaru recovers, and kicks away Franky! Vegapunk notes that the admiral seems quite saddened by the current situation. Speaking of the marines, they have now received a new order from Saturn:
To launch a Buster Call! With so many threats to the government gathered on this island, it must now be eradicated in the name of justice....!!!!!
