## One Piece Chapter 699, pages 13-15: Morning Edition - Chapter: 699 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Trafalgar Law, Kin'emon, Momonosuke, Nami, Nico Robin, Brook, Donquixote Doflamingo, Monkey D. Luffy, Straw Hat Pirates, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 13: Dawn finally approaches. Law watches the horizon and says, "NOTHING STRANGE ON THE HORIZON," while someone nearby yawns, "FUAH HHHHH HHH..." Kin'emon lies awake, still brooding over Momonosuke: "THAT PERVERTED BRAT... RIGHT ABOUT NOW, HE'S... WITH NAMI-SAN AND ROBI-CHAN... THAT BASTARD." He cannot sleep: "I... I CAN'T BRING MYSELF TO SLEEP!!" Inside, Nami and Robin do sleep, with Momonosuke nestled between them and a smug "MMPH" on his face. Morning breaks with Brook's music: "IT'S MORNING YOHOHOHOHO AW YEAH," and he calls, "PAPER'S HERE HEY COME ON." The newspaper bird arrives over the sea. Law immediately considers the stakes: "IF HE DID IT, GREAT. IF NOT..." The entire night's uncertainty is about to be answered by the morning edition. Page 14: The newspaper confirms that Law's impossible demand has been met. The headline screams: "DONQUIXOTE DOFLAMINGO 'RESIGNS FROM SHICHIBUKAI'!!" and the crew reads the second shock: "AND HE'S ABDICATED THE THRONE OF DRESSROSA!!?" The Straw Hats gather around the paper in disbelief. Someone says, "HE REALLY QUIT!!" Brook fumbles the politics, asking, "TH... THRONE!!? HE WAS A KING TOO!!?" and then, "KING!? KING OF THE BIRDS!?" The crew's reactions are comic, but the news is enormous. Law's plan has forced Doflamingo to abandon two pillars of power in one morning: his legal status as a Warlord and his position as king of Dressrosa. Robin observes calmly, "I THINK IT'S ACTUALLY OMINOUS THAT THINGS ARE GOING SO SMOOTHLY..." Her caution cuts through the excitement. A man like Doflamingo giving up this much cannot be taken as simple victory. Page 15: Law studies the paper and judges the result with cold satisfaction: "NO, THIS IS GOOD." He explains that Doflamingo chose the only path open to him: "THIS WAS HIS ONLY OPTION...!!" Caesar screams from captivity, "JOKER...!! TO GO TO SUCH LENGTHS, FOR ME... SHURORORORORORO!!" Luffy notices another problem in the paper: "BUT WHY DO THEY HAVE OUR FACES HERE TOO!?" The answer is the headline beside their wanted images: "SHICHIBUKAI TRAFALGAR LAW AND THE STRAWHAT CREW HAVE FORMED AN UNPRECEDENTED ALLIANCE." Another caption reads, "IT IS UNKNOWN HOW THE GOVERNMENT WILL JUDGE LAW ON THIS." The crew stares at the page in shock, "HUH?" while Luffy grins beside Law's image. The alliance is no longer private strategy. The world knows, and that means every power watching the New World can now react.
