If you remember correctly, the Straw Hats have not fully gathered together yet, but are on the same island. Last chapter we where reintroduced to Franky and Zoro, and both have wet our appetite for more. Also “tight defense” Sentomaru is on his way to crash the party with his giant axe. Will the crew come together before he attacks, or will he be the next member to join the crew?
The Straw Hats are gradually coming together, but haven’t fully combined to form their amazing team yet. But it will happen soon, and the place they will all meet I suspect will be grove #42. Luffy has been tricked by the fake Straw Hats to come to their crew gathering at grove #46. Here rookies have come from all over to join the Straw Hats, and from a bounty perspective they are all pretty powerful. Like the super rookie brothers, who have a bounty that came relatively close to Luffy’s pre time skip bounty.
Even though we all know Luffy could probably take them all himself now, he might still get some assistance for the Straw Hat crew when they meet up with Luffy. Rayleigh instructed the Straw Hats to move the ship to grove #42, which might be near Luffy’s location, or they just might meet him there. All I know is that there is going to be some whoop ass next chapter.

The Good
Right off the bat we see Chopper running away from the fake Straw Hat crew in an attempt to find the fake Robin. In his reindeer form one can easily tell that he has aged, almost looking like an adult reindeer, though I’m no zoologist. Not only that, but we see Franky with his old hair back! It’s almost as if Oda has been reading the request from fans and have been changing the manga to help appease some of them.The Straw Hats are gradually coming together, but haven’t fully combined to form their amazing team yet.
