Pretty interesting chapter on bringing out the Straw Hats' vehicles again after so long, at least this chapter explains why Kanjuro has not reached Orochi yet. Too bad we have to wait another two weeks.

However this time gap is due to COVID-19 issues so expect this to happen again for the moment. It has also been reported that work on the anime is being done behind the scenes so it can continue despite the pandemic issues.
