They weren't unrelated. We discussed this in great detail. Take the end of chapter 28 for example: http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/nanatsu_no_taizai/en/0/28/page/19

"There's a huge festival in that town tomorrow".

Here's another example:

http://manga.redhawkscans.com/reader/read/nanatsu_no_taizai/en/0/28/page/10

"He says it's a pendant that will protect you from evil".

Chapter 28 was very relevent to the events later in the arc. Then chapter 29 gave us insight into the New Generation (Marmas is even standing in the crowd) and the chapter directly leads onto the next, which is the start of the festival. The only chapter that isn't directly connected is 27, which is really just a transition chapter (and even then you can see how it relates to later events).
