## One Piece Chapter 681, pages 0-2: Luffy vs Master - Chapter: 681 - Pages: 0-2 - Characters: Caribou, Monkey D. Luffy, Caesar Clown, Momonosuke, Smoker, Trafalgar Law, Vergo ### Summary Page 0: The title page reads "CHAPTER 681 - 'LUFFY VS MASTER'." The cover story caption says, "ARRIVAL AT THE BEATEN-UP MARINE BRANCH G-5." The illustration shows the battered G-5 Marine base rising from the shore, with its huge striped towers and Marine flag visible above damaged walls and debris. A small figure approaches from the water, continuing Caribou's cover-story journey after being carried through the sea. This page is official chapter material and confirms the chapter title, but it is separate from the main Punk Hazard action. Page 1: Inside Caesar's research room, Luffy and Caesar face each other after Luffy's explosive arrival. Caesar's face is bruised and contorted; Luffy grins through his own injuries, ready to continue the fight. Luffy and Momonosuke have crashed in on Caesar, while Law and Smoker are still moving elsewhere. Smoker, looking toward the chaos, tells Law, "WHITE HUNTER-YA AS FOR YOU, DON'T LAY A HAND ON CAESAR!!" The order is sharp because Caesar is central to Law's plan, but Smoker does not trust Law enough to let him decide the scientist's fate. Caesar, cornered but not beaten, stares at Luffy with fury as the room shakes from the impact of the sudden attack. Page 2: Law answers Smoker without changing his course. He says, "IF HEARTS START GETTING CRUSHED, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS." Then he sets the condition clearly: "SO UNTIL I GET MY OWN HEART BACK FROM VERGO, I CAN'T TOLERATE ANY RECKLESSNESS FROM YOU." He continues, "AS LONG AS WE'RE ON THIS ISLAND, YOU WILL DO AS I SAY." Smoker's silence acknowledges the logic, not the trust. Law asks, "YOU GOT THAT?" and moves on. A moment later his urgency breaks through: "!!? WHERE ARE YOU, VERGO!!" Law runs down the corridor, thinking, "I THOUGHT THAT... CAME AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND BY THE SHORTEST ROUTE BUT..." His expression twists as he realizes the enemy he needs is not where expected. The priority is no longer Caesar alone; Law must retrieve his heart from Vergo before Vergo can use it against him.
