Sorry, I've been away vacationing on the iberian peninsula for a few weeks.
Can someone refer me to the thread discussing what's going on with the late releases and arrests?
Oh, it's fairly apparent what happened. The last time that brooke was on thriller bark, he was defeated by ryuma after causing lots of havoc. He still has a scar over his left eye from where he was glued back together. Maybe the sun fried companion was the one who put the pieces back in place.
In any case, after five years of training on the ship, Brooke is now capable of defending himself against Ryuma's strike. A good fight should be upcoming.
Edit: much thanks codedtech
I agree with aldrich that the chapter is missing some pizazz. Hopefully the translated dialog will make up for that with story development.
Also, how'd the three powerhouse regain consciousness so quickly? I was under the impression that shadow stealing unequivocally causes three days of downtime.
