Notice that Luffy, Chopper, and Robin (WOOT!) are the only ones on the colorspread?
Anyway, it sure is a surprise to see Garp being Luff's grandfather. I don't think Garp would be cruel enough to arrest his own grandson. Remember Garp said he only came here because he wants Luffy to meet two of his men, and we know who they are already.
Can't wait to see those 2 next chapter!
And LOL at Luffy's ability to eat and sleep at the same time! 
oh come on people- now you're gonna make a big deal out of him dashing past Sanji and Franky? o boy. -
Fine chapter. But I definitely want 432 now. Still, excellent twist with Garp now time for a female D. to enter the scene.
Wow, seeing Garp's ship all of a sudden sure took me by surprise. When I saw his face, the first thing I thought was <darth>"Luffy, I'm your father."</darth> so I wasn't far off since he's Luffy's grandfather :). Looks to be a nice follow up to the end of Ennis Lobby. Really like the front cover image of Luffy too, although I was surprised to see that only Luffy, Robin and Chopper are on the colour spread. Thanks in advance to who ever can provide a translation. 
Great chapter, though I'm disappointed that Robin has so little time in this chapter. I guess all her problems are resolved already? Oh well, seeing the orange trees was fun.
Also, I'm surprised that Garp managed to get past Sanji and Franky to punch Luffy. Shoot, that's proof that he's fast too.
Quite simply put… Best chapter since the beginning of the saga.

Garp not only brought Corby and Helmeppo, but he also brought tons of marines with him…...
I am sure this is going to be "Ok, Luffy. I am arresting you, even though you are my grandson."
and Luffy will be saying "You do what you do, old geezer, but my dream is to be the pirate king, and I intend to achieve it!"...blah,blah,blah...
I think it's going to be a hide and seek around W7, while Franky and the others start building the ship.....
chopper has a level of cuteness in the colorspread never seen before.
That title wins the internet.
Thanks StrawHatLuffy! Wow… Garp returns... That was really surprising. Can't wait to see the next chapter...
The color spread rocks!!!!!
And Robin is hotter than ever!!!
and GARP owns Luffy!!!!
can i ask for more? please XD ?
Next chapter's intro of Coby and Helmeppo should be cool… since the only Strawhats who know them are Luffy and Zoro...
I think it would be cool if Zoro or Ussop shows back up and attack the marines outside...
Then Garp getting all mad at Luffy for planning an ambush (since he's dumb in that way like Luffy I guess)
Hahahha, that could be a possibility. I say Usopp and Zoro together would be more fitting.
Here's the entire chapter. I cleaned it up a little and also removed page 4, which appears to be blank. If someone can tell me what's up with that page, I can put it back if need be.

Chopper looks cute in the colour spread!!! and Luffy looks menacing with that spear….. is that spear the same spear that Enel used? or a different one?
Robin -> WOW....

Best chapter in ages. 
Here's a mirror for ya: http://star.walagata.com/w/uprc/op431.zip
This is best the chapter since Robin's past. My interest level has finally risen back up. If only Enies Lobby has plot twist and turns like the one is this chapter. I give it a 9 out of 10

Noticed the Galley-la logo is missing from Sanji's shirt in a number of panels (Pg, 13, 19, 20, & 21)
Something to fix for the tanko I guess.
did anyone notice that Nami wasn't even bother that Franky used up their 200mil to buy the wood, but rather it was Sanji that was all worked up about it and she was more glad for her mikan trees (of course she is), and didn't go hug the 100mil at all.
Oda forgot something about Nami? or did Nami changed?

Hahahaha, Oda was having flashbacks to DBF I think.
Thanks Strawhat Luffy.
I can see Garp have Corby and Helmpo attempt to defeat two of Luffy's subordinates in order to arrest them, "because it would be more fun that way." The fallout from their actions will be revealed concerning who got bounties and who remains under radar.
I want to see Chopper vs Corby
Helmeppo vs Sanji…..... while Luffy holds out his grandfather....
I don't think Garp is there to arrest/confront Luffy. Read the chapter's title again.
No more fights for fuck's sake. It's time for corny celebrations and meetings with old friends, they didn't fight the Buster Call they're not going to fight against Luffy's grandpa and the first friend he made during his adventure.
Garp is still a marine…... he still is bound by his job..... unless he close one eye..... Corby might still object to it.....
One Piece is just CRAZIE…
When you think you know where the story is heading to things just get turned upside down.
Garp owns.
I can't wait to see what the greater picture is.
OMG!!!! This is a great chapter. I can't wait for the next chapter.

Yeah I agree, just would be interesting for like one of those one panel scurmishes where Nami just knocks out the other Straw-Hats for acting like fools.
It seems that the last page has taken the talk of the thread. But I remember there was talk about religous names being a theme a times. Like the tree of Adam, and the ships name being Eve. I liked this idea and think the perfect name for the ship would be something like Victory's Eve or Dreamer's Eve.
So Soddom and Grammorah survived it seems, but will they be the same?
As for the 200 million, it was spent on what many of us expected, A new ship or something to make the ship Suuuuuper~!
What can I say?
That was absolutely awesome!!!
And finally some insight into the capture of the Pirate King. DAMN garp is badass. Though I wonder why he is still only a vice admiral…
lol i was waiting till like 9:20.and then gave up.but i was so happy when i came back and checked and 431 is up!!!thank you oda sama! and straw hat luffy.omg,robin is too hawt…
Can someone refresh my memory about the other appearances Garp has made? I know he took Coby and Helmeppo under his wing, but what kind of power does he have etc?
Thanks StrawHatLuffy and BF for the links. Its strange no one mentioned this but if you look closely you can see Coby's glasses in the 19th page.

@jackvance:

he's in the cover story involving coby and helmeppo
EDIT: i don't see any glasses, just some shadow… (might be why nobody pointed it)
Garp is going to be a beast.
Coby and Helmeppo are going to be mini beasts.
And no, there wont be any more fights (i hope not 
). This isn't the time for it and Garp sure isn't the one they ought to be fighting now. What we will have, is a small insight into Luffy's past.
Of all the SH's he is the least we know about. Both his relations have come out of nowhere.
Thanks for the chapter

Oda forgot something about Nami? or did Nami changed?
Those tree's are to Nami what the Strawhat is to Luffy, the Top hat is to Chopper, and Kuina's sword is to Zoro. Those tree's are Nami's real treasure that connect her back to Belmel. As for the fights no there doesn't have to be a fight here in the arcs end, but it would be nice to get a little teaser of just how far along Corby and Helmpo have come along. It may also give an opportunity to measure the Strawhats against Garp's people and show how effective Usopp is in a fight with his dials.
Garp might be there under orders from Kuzan or Garp is there, because his plans with Kuzan is in motion…...
Or Garp is just there cos he wants to meet his grandson
It seems from the translation of the spoilers Garp wants Luffy to meet someone. It's quite obvious it's Coby.
Off topic, but could someone confirm the fact Garp's swordsman is named Bogard? I remember reading it somewhere but couldn't find a confirmation.
and brought his WHOLE warship and his marines with him? What do you think he is going to do? have a family reunion?
Thanks so much, Straw Hat Luffy!
…. stares unrepentantly at the colorspread.... blush
SAjdhgfkjsdfkjsdkasdlmfn?!?!?!
! GRANDPA?! Garp is Luffy's grandpa?!
How was he supposed to come exactly? In a zodiac boat?
I'm not being original here… but that was absolutely amazing.
Oda, you crazy sumbitch.
He punched Luffy with a 'Fist of Love'. I seriously doubt that's a precursor to having a fight. Maybe a mock duel to see how far his grandson's progressed, but not a whole lot more.
Paulie has a Guns 'n Roses-like Jacket! XD
How was he supposed to come exactly? In a zodiac boat?
he could have used a small warship, and be discreet or something. yet he brought his marines and his dogface warship…...

after all the greetings and the corny stuff, THEN only will the serious stuff comes…..
after some exchange of stories between two friends, the outcome will be
".... the reason I am here is to arrest you...."....... will be the outcome...and thus....a fight.. or two, or three or four....etc...
