## One Piece Chapter 648, pages 7-7: The Path Towards the Sun - Chapter: 648 - Pages: 7-7 - Characters: Minister of the Left, Neptune, Fishman Island, Straw Hat Pirates, Gyoncord Plaza ### Summary Page 7: The minister realizes the theft happened quickly during Neptune's absence, but refuses to make it the priority. "This is not the time to worry about petty treasure thieves... not after we came so close to losing the kingdom itself..!!"

We have treated them terribly." At Gyoncord Plaza, the citizens argue over it at once. One says, "Did you hear that? It wasn't the Straw Hats behind those kidnappings at all! I knew it!!" Another snaps, "You liar!! Just admit it! You doubted them 'cause they're human!"
