Thanks for the chapter!
I don't think the FF are dead, either Paulie saved them with his web-slinging rope powers, or they pulled a Pell (Im hoping it's the former).
This chapter was kinda fillery, but at least we get more of Luffy's fight. This has got to be the most brutal fight ever in One Piece, and I can't wait to see it animated. It is kinda dragging though… Hopefully the end will be next chapter.
