Thank you Oda for the Toriko sendoff message on the cover. For those who don't know, both Oda & Mitsutoshi are very good friends and this cover was a homage/sendoff to Toriko.
How? Well...
Little birds = kotori -> toriko, scoreboard reads 'san kyu' -> 'thank you', drawing is for 'm-san' and 's-san' -> mitsutoshi shimabukuro
shima = stripes, and bu = can either mean buta (pig) or bu-bu (oink oink), and it's a play on "Shimabu".
***********'s comment section:
Pretty good chapter. I don't buy Big Mom's promise. Wasn't she the same person who was yelling at Tamago for trying to compromise with Luffy during Fishman Island? Damn, Oda you sure love drawing Nami dont you?
Smoothie's design is pretty cool and that bounty lol.
