## One Piece Chapter 698, pages 13-14: Doflamingo Appears - Chapter: 698 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Trafalgar Law, Monkey D. Luffy, Donquixote Doflamingo, Kaido, Straw Hat Pirates, Kin'emon, Momonosuke, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 13: Law pulls the curtain back on the New World structure. "THE BIG PIRATE CREWS IN THE NEW WORLD HAVE DIVIDED MOST OF THE SEA INTO SPHERES OF INFLUENCE, WHERE THEY COMMAND COUNTLESS UNDERLINGS." If a single pirate crew tried to challenge them, it would barely even reach the captain: "IF JUST A SINGLE PIRATE CREW WERE TO RISE UP TO CHALLENGE THEM, YOU WOULDN'T EVEN GET AN AUDIENCE WITH A CAPTAIN...!!" Law describes the system as underground power on an unprecedented scale: "THE CURRENT SCALE OF THIS SETUP IS UN-PRECEDENTED!!" These crews "REIGN OVER LIKE A GIANT CRIME SYNDICATE." The underworld operates in shadow, "WITHOUT ATTRACTING TOO MUCH ATTENTION FROM THE MARINES," and "THEY CONDUCT THEIR NECESSARY DEALINGS IN SHADOW...!!" Law says its most trusted and powerful dealer is Doflamingo, and adds the key alias: "IN THE SHADOWS, HE GOES BY 'JOKER.'" His greatest client is the target of their alliance: "MOREOVER, JOKER'S BIGGEST CLIENT IS CURRENTLY THE YONKOU, 'KAIDOU OF THE HUNDRED BEASTS.'" Page 14: Before Law can continue smoothly, the crew gets distracted by Caesar and Kin'emon's transformed son. Someone pleads, "PLEASE GO ON!" while another says, "IT'S NOTHING, THAT IT'S NOT...!!" and another protests, "NO...!!" Kin'emon screams at the tiny dragon form, "WAHH!! WHAT ON EARTH IS THIS, THIS DRAGON!!" Luffy calmly identifies him: "THAT'S HIM," and Kin'emon panics, "WH... WHERE'S MOMONOSUKE?" The answer lands: "AHH!! THAT'S RIGHT, THAT IT IS! I SEE... SO HE CAME TO BE LIKE THAT!!" Law returns to the strategic point. The real target is Kaidou himself: "WHAT WE'RE AFTER IS NONE OTHER THAN THE HEAD OF THE EMPEROR, KAIDOU...!!" He explains that Kaidou has recently made a massive purchase from Joker: "KAIDOU HAS RECENTLY PUT IN FOR A LARGE PURCHASE OF FRUITS FROM JOKER." Those fruits are "THE ARTIFICIAL ZOAN TYPE DEVIL FRUITS KNOWN AS 'SMILE'," and "THE KEY TO DOING THIS IS TO REDUCE THE STRENGTH OF HIS FORCES!!"
