Greetings, and welcome to a LoneLobo Review. Just to let you know, the important notice from last week has been solved. But there's another thing: This being my 12th review, I have done a review every week (when there was OP, except for the double-review) which was possible because I had holidays. However, next week university starts again and therefore I cannot promise anymore to do a review every week. But I'll try. 
That being said, let's dive into the chapter!
So, what happened last week? We got Whitebeard who manipulated Buggy, Whitebeard counteracting the plan, Jimbei owning Moria, Smoker owning Luffy and Boa (+OO) owning Smoker. Oh, and Kuma attacking Ivankov being dead and so... not much, this week we got a bit more.
This week's chapter opens with the next part of Zoro's cover story . A huge shadow approaches him and I have no idea who it might be. It is certainly a big guy or a giant and it makes sense considering there's a freaking huge tombstone. To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed by this cover story, nothing happened at all. Just a different angle plus a shadow this week. Well, we will see who the shadow was and how this sudden love triangle between Mr. Shadow, Zoro and Perona is resolved.
The chapter title is "The Prisoners from Impel Down", a chapter focused entirely on the escapees it seems. If it really is that way, let's find out.
And while we are at the love thing, Boa hands Luffy over the keys to her chastity belt. Big question: How did she get them? Well, I will not call the bad "plot hole" word now... but I also doubt Oda will explain this later. Anyway, Luffy is so glad and hugs her. I don't remember seeing Luffy hugging someone, so this is kinda special. But for Hancock this isn't just special, this is ... marriage! Lol! So awesome! Remembers me of the promise Gocku gave Chichi in Dragonball, where he thought marriage was something to eat. Anyway, awesome! Sorry, I can't stop laughing. xD
The marines think that Luffy used a sumo move on her... oh well, Killer Luffy! Smoker want to chase him but Boa recovers from her marriage and kicks his weapon. Her heels have to be made of steel, or else she couldn't really fight and kick enemies with them. Anyway, Smokers weapon is broken now and she, the wife of the future pirate king, stands in his way. But he asks the important question of what will happen to her, now that she betrayed them. She doesn't care. I think I wrote it last week in my review, but when she is made a traitor, Luffy will tell everyone that Amazon Lilly is his territory and nobody will attack it. Like Whitebeard and the islands under his protection.
We finally pick up where the cliffhanger last week let us... hang. Doflamingo telling us what happened to Kuma. And let me tell you: My prediction from last week was so damn right!! Kuma underwent the last treatment/modification and is now the ultimate weapon, Pacifista PX-0! With this his personality vanished, but it seems he made a deal with the government beforehand. I think this deal means "let the strawhat pirates live even after the Shabondy incident". He probably decided to do this when fighting Luffy on the archipelago, explaining his "we will never meet again". He paid a huge price so that Luffy and Co. could survive and in the end I really feel sorry for him. Although PX-0 is still walking around, Kuma, RIP.
Where was I? Kuma attacks them and then just walks by them and attacks the escapees. Ivankov then goes nuts, spins around and attacks him with his Galaxy Wink from many faces at once. Crazy technique and I doubt we will ever see why he can shot those winks... Iva-san kicks Kuma then and declares that he will make Kuma remember the fear of him. So, were they enemies? Or were they really good buddies and Iva-san is actually sad with what happened to Kuma? Maybe we will find out next chapter.
Luffy runs off to reach Ace and is accompanied by Iva's men/women. Buggy and his new crew are a bit behind him and Buggy says that they have a plan. What plan? No idea. But because he doesn't want to fall behind, it must have something to do with the execution site. Will he try to kill Ace? I doubt it, he had a chance back there in volume... 23? 24? So long ago. I think he will try to kill one off the big shots because he is so full of himself right now. I could be totally wrong here, though.
Finally we are back to Crocodile (and Mr.1, but who cares about him?). They are trying to get to Whitebeard but are consantly stopped by Whitebeard's men. Whitebeard is pretty much annoyed because a worm like Crocodile dares to challenge him. But Jozu (?), the diamond guy, is there and kicks Croc's ass or rather he tackles him from the front. Question here: How did he do that? He doesn't seem to be wet (or covered in blood), so it was probably Haki or something else. Maybe he was just too fast so that Croc couldn't change to Sand, but I doubt that possibility. Anyway, Jozu attacks again but is stopped by the magic-finger-move from Doflamingo. Another demonstration of his abilities. When are we finally getting an answer to how it actually works? Anyway, fast forward: Jozu annoyed, Crocodile threatening Doflamingo (man, Crocodile is so badass), and Doflamingo offering him a deal. Awesome. Will Crocodile accept his help? I think... yeah.
Last page. Well, IMHO it was a pretty short chapter. The conclusion this week is the meeting between Hawkeye and Luffy. I'm really surprised that Luffy remembers the name after all this time, but Hawkeye is a bit more important than Hellmeppo, isn't he?
Oh well, Mihawk is there to stop the Golden Child of this Era (sounds kinda nice), but what will Luffy do? He cannot fight with Mihawk, so there has to be someone who will protect Luffy this time. Iva stopped Kuma, Boa stopped Smoker, Jimbei stopped/owned Moria. There is nobday left to stop the No. 1 swordsman, except for... (and now it gets strange):
Zoro. I know this sounds pretty weird right now and I don't really believe it myself, but hear me out: The cover stories happened at an unknown time between the last appearance in the manga and the war. So there is the small possibility that the shadow in the cover story helped Zoro to reach the battlefield. This would be also perfect timing, considering we got the conclusion Zoro's story this chapter... wouldn't this be awesome? Although Zoro's wounds should be a problem here... Kuma and Kizaru fucked him up pretty good.
Let me say it again, this was just a guess. But when it happens, you heard it here first
To sum it up, this was an okay chapter. Not epic, but not bad. Certainly better than most chapters of other popular shounen series these months...
So, what will happen the week after next ? Zorro (or any other person) saving Luffy from Mihawk, Crocodile and Doflamingo teaming up. There will probably no new coverstory, but rather the typical pictures of every crew member. Oh, and damn that we have to wait another week again. Oda seems to be taking more breaks recently, or is it just me? Well...
Have a nice day
