## One Piece Chapter 687, pages 11-13: Beast - Chapter: 687 - Pages: 11-13 - Characters: Tashigi, Monet, Roronoa Zoro, G-5 Marines ### Summary Page 11: Tashigi finally lands a direct slash on Monet while trying to save the Marine. Her blade cuts across Monet with a loud impact, and Monet, dripping and shocked, reacts, "HUH!?" Tashigi says, "TIME'S UP. I'LL BE MOVING THINGS ALONG NOW." She breathes hard, but her strike proves she can reach Monet's true body with Haki. Monet realizes the danger, yet her confidence turns toward Zoro instead. Tashigi thinks, "But I thought... I thought he wouldn't hurt a woman! This guy...!!" Monet, however, looks at Zoro and says, "IT SEEMS YOU UNDERESTIMATED ME, YUKI ONNA." She understands the larger threat: "HE CAME AT ME JUST NOW WITH EVERY INTENTION OF CUTTING...!!" The page shifts the battle's center. Tashigi has shown she can wound Monet, but Zoro's killing intent, even before the final blow, has begun to frighten her. Page 12: Zoro faces Monet and makes the truth explicit. He says, "BACK WHEN YOU REALIZED YOU COULDN'T MEASURE UP... YOU SHOULD HAVE RUN." Then he adds, "IT'S TRUE THAT THERE ARE THINGS I'D RATHER NOT CUT. BUT LET ME ASK YOU--HAVE YOU EVER MET A BEAST THAT YOU COULD BE SURE WOULD NEVER BITE...!? BECAUSE I SURE HAVEN'T..." Monet tries to move, but terror freezes her. She thinks, "WHAT IS THIS!? MY BODY WON'T MOVE." Tashigi sees the opening and cries, "HE'S GOT ME!!" Monet understands too late that Zoro's danger is not limited to his blade. His presence and intent pin her down. Her eyes widen as his gaze fills the panel, and the scene prepares for a strike that is driven as much by fear as by steel. Page 13: Zoro ends the standoff with "DAISHINKAN," translated in the note as "Great Dragon Movement." Monet screams in horror as Zoro's slash cuts through her massive snow-harpy body from above. The spread is dominated by Zoro's dark figure, blades drawn, and Monet's body split by the attack while Tashigi watches in shock. The impact is overwhelming enough that even before the physical result is clear, Monet's expression shows she has already lost control of the fight. This is the chapter's title made visible: Zoro is the "beast" Monet failed to measure. He did not need to prove his strength through a long exchange; the moment he chose to bare his killing intent, Monet's confidence collapsed.
