More details of the chapter, thanks to redon from Arlong Park Forums.
Chapter of 19 pages (2 color pages from Color Spread and 17 black and white normal pages).
- Narrator explains the popularity of the Kuja Pirates was so strong during the era of the flashback that it wouldn't make sense to leave Kuja out of the story.
- Kuja Pirates were an “Idol Group” of rough ladies. Their bounty posters were being sold for a high price and getting photos taken or being stalked become another Tuesday for them. And Shakuyaku (who later became known as “Empress”) eventually get to a whole other league of popularity compared to others.
- Kuja and Roger Pirates clashed because Roger wanted to take Shakuyaku with them. But Shakuyaku refused and hit Roger (he had a funny bump on his head). Shakuyaku also said Roger “I belong to no one”. Then Gloriosa hugged Roger saying “Roger, I'm saying I love you!!” but Roger told her “Get out of the way Gloriosa, I can't see Shakky” loool
- Rayleigh was the only one in Roger Pirates who was not entranced by Shakuyaku's beauty, so Shakuyaku told him they could take all of their treasures. Then Shakuyaku winked at Rayleigh just before leaving and Rayleigh finally blushed.
- Garp used “Meteor Fist” against Roger Pirates ship and Roger used a new attack called “Wild Soul” (“Ara Mitama” (荒御魂) in japanese, one of the four sub-spirits that human has according to a Shinto theory). While we see Roger and Garp fighting in an EPIC double page, narrator explains that it was during the era of the flashback when Roger, Garp, Rocks... youthful blood clashed for the first time.
- In Elbaph, Ida asked Loki to come live with her and Hajrudin but Loki refused. He just wanted to go to sea with Rocks.
- In Hachinosu a man arrived to the island and attacked some random pirates. He was “Kyou the Yakuza”, later known as “Silver Axe” and Shiki's rival (he wasn’t part of Rock Pirates yet). Kyou was a huge guy with a big tattoo on his chest. He wore a kimono decorated with axes, sunglasses and a huge axe in the back. His design is similar to Zephyr from “One Piece Film Z”.
- Chapter ends with all Rocks Pirates in the “skull” of Hachinosu in another AMAZING double page. We are introduced to new Rocks Pirates crew members: Charlotte Linlin, Streusen, Kaidou, John and Barbel (a Catfish Fishman). Barbel is this guy we saw in God Valley, but in this chapter his hair looks like flames.
- Rocks explained to his crew-mates what he needed for his plan.
1. Find 2 Akuma no Mi, one of them is in Elbaph. Rocks wanted Harald to eat it so that fruit can achieve its true potential.
2. Find the “Galleyla giants”.
Rocks: "Listen, “Elbaph” is crucial to taking the Holy Land!!!
Don't believe me!? Well get lost now!!!
Whether or not you wanna follow me on the destined day is up to you!!!
But if you have make up your mind, then tag along...!!
I will show you what's on the summit of the world!!!!!"
