Chapter 598 is called  2 Years Later . It is the first chapter after the timeskip.

Cover
The colourspread is homage to the orginal Chapter 1 colour spread of Luffy, Nami and the Red-Haired Pirates, with the other Straw hat pirates replacing Shanks' crew.

Summary
The Chapter starts with Luffy leaving the island with the help of Boa Hancock. The scene then becomes at Sabaody Archipelago with the Strawhat Pirate's recruite fliers being discussed about, along with the sudden appearance of Strawhat Luffy after two years of no movement. Brook is shown to have the longarm tribes' people who've kidnapped him in the past as his managers, and himself as a famous rockstar-like figure performing his finale concert. On the beach, there was Sanji, who spotted real woman that he've missed alot. Then in a random bar, there was the fake Luffy shooting an unknown pirate that is wanted for 55 million. The fake Luffy orders the bartender to bring ale and the grown up Nami to him, only to be refused by Nami. The fake Nami then walks up to Nami with a pistol, threatening her, but Nami is soon helped by Usopp by his newly attained weapons, the pop greens, which resembles a giant venus fly trap. As the fake Zoro, Sanji, Robin, and Chopper (a fox) walked on the streets, the real Chopper thought they were the real ones; the fake Sanji then tells the fake Zoro that they should just take the real Chopper to look like the real Strawhats, but some people kidnapped the fake Robin in the middle of their attempt. The fake Luffy then begins searching for Usopp and Nami for assaulting them, only to be bumped by the real Luffy, who've just returned from his 2 years training.

Zoro and Franky
While they appear on the color spread with the rest of the crew, Zoro and Franky do not appear in the chapter. They are metioned, however, as they were the first ones of the crew to arrive.

Sanji Eye
After years of fan speculation, and only seeing one of his eyes, Sanji's other eye is apparently seen for the first time in the manga since he was introduced. The Sanji who we see the other eye is an imposter, and not the real Sanji himself.
