I think my brain just exploded from the sheer awsomeness of this chapter.
Good to see a little "situation summary" in the beginning so we know where everyone is. Woah, Chopper's getting pretty close to Zoro and SogeKing (does he even know where he's going/doing?). And damn, Sanji's still pretty much KO'd for now. I thought for sure Oda was going to have him do something behind the scenes, but… Hopefully Franky won't be out that long.
And the beginning of the Luffy VS. Lucci fight was totally kick ass. Loved the cliche punch on the last page. This promises to be a very exciting match. (BTW, where'd that little pigeon run off to?)
@Giraffe:
The CP9 (apart from idiot Spandam) seem pretty unconcerned about the Buster Call, Califa even says the Strawhats "don't even have a hope anymore". Do they know what's about to happen?
Cheers for the scans and translations, BattleFranky and ooshi.
Seriously, I was just wondering the same thing. They're all like, "whatever." I thought they'd at least be, "wtf?!"
And koodles for BF and ooshi. waits for HQ scan(lation)
