One Piece 690 – SAD
Luffy continues his fight with Caesar Clown after punching him and leaving a deep imprint on his face. Caesar then tries again to flaunt his protection under Doflamingo in order to intimidate Luffy, but Luffy delivers another punch to Caesar’s face after dodging a surprise attack from Caesar Clown.
With five minutes left until Shinokuni fills up building B, the rest of the Straw Hats, as well as their allies, are hurrying toward building R, where the escape route off the island is located. Only Kinemon and Brook are going the opposite direction towards the gas because Kinemon heard from one of the children that his son got turned into a dragon and immediately thought that dragon he slew was his son. Usopp was the first to arrive in Building R but ends up in the secret room above the floor where the gas trap was prepared.
In the SAD room, Vergo has defeated Smoker because of his overuse of his smoke form. However, Smoker was really just distracting Vergo in order to allow Law to regain his heart. With Law’s heart back where it belongs, Law is ready to end the fight. Law then calls out to “Joker”, telling him that with Vergo defeated and Ceasar captured, all the SAD at his disposal will be gone and he will lose his position in the underground. Doflamingo then laughs, replying that Law’s fear of Vergo is still there, and that his Haki protects his whole body so that not even Law’s power can hope to cut him. Law then proves Doflamingo wrong by cutting a Haki-armored Vergo in half, along with the SAD chamber and the mountain it was built in. Law then states that the marines never challenged any of the big name pirates because they were preparing a new battle force. Law continues by saying that, like Doflamingo had said, a new unstoppable wave always marks the beginning of a new era, and that Law plans to destroy the cycle.

One Piece 689: An Island That Doesn't Seem to be There
Brownbeard arrives in front of Caesar Clown and demands him to tell him what happened to his men outside on the island before Shinokuni was released. Caesar merely shrugged and said he didn't receive their distress call, when in truth he did recieve it but left them to die outside. Angered by the callous disregard of the lives of his men, Brownbeard tried to reveal Caesar's true nature to the rest of the men protecting their 'generous' master, but Caesar secretly injected a muscle relaxant in Brownbeard making him spurt out gibberish and unable to stand. Now in control of the situation, Caesar whispered to Brownbeard that the poison gas incident was his doing. Brownbeard then furiously tried to attack Caesar, only to be shot down by the subordinates he swore to save. Feeling victorious, Caesar prepares to finish off Brownbeard when a giant Haki infused fist knocks him away. Luffy has arrived to finish the fight with Caesar. Caesar tells all his subordinates to head back up stairs and start the preperartions. Once all the subordinates are gone, Caesar warns Luffy that if he fights him, one of the Yonko as well as Doflamingo will hunt him down because the SAD that Caesar produces is used to turn his client's subordinates into Zoan fruit users and says Luffy will never defeat all of them. Luffy remembers all the horrible things he heard that Caesar Clown has done and channeled all his anger into a vicious punch on the mad scientist's face, shouting that he's been fighting people like them since entering the Grand Line.

Bleach 516 - The Squad Zero: http://www.mangahere.com/manga/bleach/v53/c516
Summary:
Ichigo is in Kurotsuchi's lab to see if his zanpukto can be fixed. Kurotsuchi explains that broken shikai can be regenerated by the owner pouring reiatsu into it, but as far as he knows damage to a bankai is permanent (except for Komamura's). Ikakku's bankai got fixed but it was weaker than before, and parts of Renji's blade still have damage from the battle against Byakuya. Out of the blue, Kon runs out in a muscular body and does random stuff before Kurotsuchi turns him off with a remote. Kurotsuchi then gets news and tells Ichigo to come with him to witness the arrival of the Zero Division.
Ichigo and the Gotei 13 captains gather outside of the Seireitei walls. A giant column suddenly drops out of the sky and hits the ground, and from the column steps out the five captains who make up the Zero Division. Even though the Zero Division has no soldiers, their might is supposedly more than all of Gotei 13 combined.

Bleach 515 - Relics: http://www.mangahere.com/manga/bleach/v53/c515
The 4th Division is struggling to find all the injured and take them to be treated. Isane Kotetsu notes that during the battle, no one was taken in, and wonders if they should have went into battle themselves. Captain Unohana chides her gently for letting her feelings get ahead of her, but asks her not to cry and reminds her that Yamamoto's final order was for them to remain in the building.
Ichigo, meanwhile, is told that a message from Urahara came in from Hueco Mundo stating that he, Chad and Orihime were safe at the time it was sent. The person who told him this promises to tell Ichigo if they can establish vocal contact, which Ichigo thanks him for. Meanwhile, Ikkaku is screaming to be released, clearly concerned about his captain and if he has died. Hanataro offers to heal Ichigo, but he states that he already got treatment, to which Hanataro argues that it is quite obvious he still needs to be healed. Then Shinji walks up to the Substitute and states he finished treating Renji and Rukia.
Shinji and Ichigo are told that the two Lieutenants are currently at stable conditions in the Intense Care Unit. Then Rukia wakes up and after pointing out that "stable" does not necessarily mean "alright," she thanks Ichigo for coming to protect Soul Society, to which Ichigo replies that he couldn't do anything. Shinji objects, stating Ichigo chased away the enemy leader and he should be more proud of himself. At this point, a messenger arrives to tell Ichigo that Captain Kurotsuchi wants to see him about his Zanpakutō. As Ichigo heads out, Shinji sighs that Ichigo's always thinking about others and never bothered to fully heal. Rukia suddenly asks why Ichigo seemed so sorrow, and the Captain replies Ichigo wasn't able to save anyone, instead having Tensa Zangetsu broken in half, so obviously he feels tired. Even so, Rukia disagrees, believing Ichigo is hiding a much more serious matter.
Inside the 1st division barracks, the remaining Captains (barring Unohana, Byakuya, Kenpachi, Kyoraku, and Kurotsuchi) are gathered before the remains of Ryūjin Jakka. Ukitake states that the body must have been destroyed by the enemy, to which all the Captains wear sorrowful or frustrated looks. A messenger arrives and reports that Byakuya and Kenpachi have survived, but they may never be able to return to being Captains again and possibly even wake up. Suì-Fēng suddenly loses control of her emotions and screams at him, asking what they have to hear next after the Captain-Commander died. The other Captains watch dejectedly as she screams at Kensei for being so calm because he hated Yamamoto. Kensei begins to get angered as well by this, but Komamura loses his cool as well and roars at her, asking if she thinks she is the only one who wants to scream. While Suì-Fēng is dumbfounded by his words, Kyoraku enters and asks for the fighting to end, noting that if Yamamoto was still here, they all "would've gotten a knuckle" from him. He continues that Yamamoto would call it shameful if he found them crying in front of relics, and when Suì-Fēng tries to interrupt, Kyoraku reminds them that the Gotei 13 were not created for the purpose of mourning the dead or a destroyed Soul Society. Instead, they were formed to protect it. All the captains are moved as he asks that they look forward as they are the Gotei 13.
