Color Spread - The Straw Hat Pirates with bear themed clothes in front of a pagoda.

Luffy's shirt saya "Reconstruction Kumamoto", probably as a reference to the recent disaster in the real life city Kumamoto. The pagoda is also similar to the city's Kumamoto Castle. "Kuma" means "Bear" in Japanese.

Short Summary
Cracker is sent flying into Sweet City, causing a state of emergency to be activated. Luffy and Nami continue on despite Pound's accounts of the wrath Big Mom has in store for them, riding on top of King Baum out of the Seducing Woods. Nami communicates with Chopper and Carrot through a mirror shard, but Chopper and Carrot are in trouble and the connection suddenly breaks. Luffy and Nami then run into the Germa Kingdom carriage where Sanji is, but after much thought Sanji kicks Luffy away, saying his name is Vinsmoke Sanji and that he has accepted his royal status, insulting the Straw Hats as commoners. However, Luffy does not believe Sanji and prepares to fight him.
