Finally, after exactly 10 chapters without a review I can say it again: Welcome to a LoneLobo Review! To those of you who actually care, I was busy with university stuff and currently I'm writing my bachelor thesis, so... I got not that much time (and motivation) to write stuff for fun. However, I do intend to continue making reviews, so be prepared for some reviews for chapters I think are great or at least okay. That said, let's enjoy the review. ;)
Chapter 591: "You sure that's alright?"

Oda continues to present us with a cover page of some unimportant characters like Rayleigh. Okay, not that unimportant, but we want a new cover story. Damn it! It seems we have to wait a little longer...
The title of the chapter is something totally normal, but it does not give away anything what will happen in the chapter. So... boring chapter? Let's find out.
Rayleigh... nobody fucks with him

Not even Chuck Norris!
In Calm Belt we see a big Sea King getting it's ass handed to it by some unknown create... wait, is it a human? Nah, not really, it's Rayleigh! His ship sunk in stormy weather so he had to swim the rest of the way.
Now, this is indeed really interesting. First, it confirms that Rayleigh is just badass and did not eat a devil fruit! Second, despite his old age, he is still superhuman strong and can kill giant Sea Kings without a problem. Third, there was a storm. Although he does not specify that the storm was in the Calm Belt (there are no storms there), it is still possible. Storms... creating them...does it ring a bell? Of course! I is possible that Nami is on her way and during the process she created a storm which sank Rayleigh's ship.
Jinbei... shivering...

Because he pissed his pants in fear.
The women of Amazon Lilly are glad to see Luffy again and... Margret? wants to make clothes for Luffy again with no frills. This means: Outfit change! Meanwhile Hancock thinks she is married to Luffy and the old hag explains to her that she is not. Man, that was funny.
Now Rayleigh and Luffy meet, Jinbei is kinda freaked out, Rayleigh gives him the strawhat, and Law is gone. Law seems to know more than the reader, because he talks about D and calling up a storm again. I think this isn't meant to be read literally: It's not about a storm, but about things which will happen. Oh, and there's that bear joke again! Awesome.
The old woman enters and she and the rest know Rayleigh. That's a surprise there. And Boa is angry because Jinbei is hungry. Ha, this chapter is very funny up to this point. The food is offered to Luffy by her, and what happens now is interesting again: He waits a second and is thinking while holding his stomach. So, what does that mean? First, he is hungry. Second, this is not the Luffy we knew. The old Luffy would have taken that meat in an instant. The new Luffy does not, he is still hurt. But then the new Luffy comes to a conclusion and eats the meat, meaning that he his back to his old self. And that's a good thing.
A woman's intuition

Is always right
Shakky wrote them a letter etc. etc. Short flashback time! We get the confirmation that Kuma indeed works, or worked, for the Revolutionary Army. And he talks about not having time left, meaning he will become a true Pacifista. We then get to know how exactly Rayleigh, with a little help from Shakky, was able to determine where Luffy was sent. Shakky saw through everything, which means that... a woman's intuition is a frightening thing o,o Small thing to notice here: The hearts above Hancock's head. Great.
Then it goes to the main event. Luffy is hugging/eating the meat and seems to be his old self again. But then Rayleigh reminds him of the the events which happened on Sabaody. And now take a look at Luffy's reaction. There is the pain again when he thinks back. Remember, he only noticed that he is weak two chapters ago. Rayleigh then says he has an offer to make. What kind of offer? I vote for him training Luffy on Amazon Lilly. Or at least showing him how to use Haki. This should be the more possible solution, because Luffy still has to recover for at least two weeks. Haki training should be possible without hurting his body. If he is indeed traning him, regardless which kind of traning, there is still the possibility of the time skip everyone is waiting for. If it's still happening, after next week's chapter is a good time to do it.

Come True #1: Usoppn!
We then skip to Usopp who is now super fat. Short summary: He wants to get off the island to cure Luffy's broken heart. Isn't that touching? Yes, it is. This just shows how much Usopp cares about Luffy. But to get of the island he has to reach one end of it, but the further he gets away from the center the stronger are the creatures waiting there. To put it simple: If he wants to get out there, he has to become strong and slim (=his power up). Oh, and the archipelago is a plant which eats the things it lures onto itself. That is kinda cool and.. wait a minute. So the anime was true in the end? Not that I thought otherwise, but it is good to see that now in the manga to confirm that it really is canon. Oh, and that SeaHippo was awesome...

I totally knew it!
Before I talk about Choppers part, I want to quote myself from chapter 554: "I think Chopper will help the birds and humans to reach a status of understanding so that they can co-exist in the future. And the bird one this coverpage can fly Chopper to another island or even back to Shabondy." And my prediction from back then already sums it up. They co-exist know, the birds understand that the "humans" (look at them, they are not humans but rather Mr. and Mrs. Potatoheads) just need some plants. A bird then flies of with Chopper who definitely enjoys his ride. Important to notice here again: His motivation is also to get back to Luffy to heal his wounds. Nakama, eh? Anyway, his fun ends when he receives a newspaper with a shocking revelation about Luffy. "Luffy.. why again?!" Can actually mean a lot of stuff. IMHO it is about a new bounty for Luffy. His probably trippled again, meaning at least 900.000.000. However, it can be something totally different. Seems we have to wait a week. =/
Predictions

So, what now? Next chapter will show us the thing which freaks Chooper out (maybe a new bounty), we will hear Rayleigh's offer (Training?) and maybe another Strawhat will be shown (take a pick, it could be anyone). Do you agree? ;)
Have a nice day. -LoneLobo
