It's that time again, folks! Credit goes to AP's Redon and co. for info:
-Chapter title is "Pinnacle of Stupidity". Splash features the mink trio of Carrot, Inuarashi, and Nekomamushi.
-As the Buster Call prepares to bombard Egghead, Saturn tells the escaping marines that he and Kizaru will remain on the island a bit longer. Vegapunk feels it would make more sense to merely snuff him out than to outright destroy the island, but Saturn says he isn't taking any chances. In fact, a marine vessel was already sent to sink the ship carrying the refugee scientists!
-As for the Straw-Hats, after assuring Bonney that he'll help save Vegapunk, Sanji gets in contact with Nami. Her group are already at the back of the Labo phase, but they can't use Vegapunk's robot to escape since it got destroyed during the earlier battle between Luffy and Kizaru. Zoro is still battling Lucci, but Jinbei is headed their way to break up the fight. Thankfully, the Sunny is safe for the moment, since Brooke was able to freeze the island clouds supporting it... but there's still no feasible way to safely get it off the island.
-Back to the marines, they target the island's barrier! Meanwhile, Atlas is transporting Kuma and Franky back to the Labo phase with the capsule rocket.... but it ends up getting destroyed by Kizaru. As they fall, Saturn orders the PX army to destroy them all, enjoying the irony of them all getting killed by clones of the person they're trying to save! We also see where Luffy ended up.... near the food vending machine from earlier in the arc. He already managed to stuff himself before some marine soldiers surround him. Suddenly, Kizaru is contacted by the battleship that was sent to hunt down the refugees: They failed in their mission, as they were attacked by an unknown party! And now, that mystery enemy is making their way toward Egghead....!!!!
