## One Piece Chapter 664, pages 16-17: Master Caesar Clown - Chapter: 664 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Caesar Clown, World Government, Smoker, Tashigi, Dr. Vegapunk, G-5 Marines ### Summary Page 16: Caesar appears in full, his gas body curling around him as he rejects the word failure entirely. "FAILED EXPERIMENT?! HAH! MY WEAPON WIPED OUT ALL LIFE ON THIS ENTIRE ISLAND...!!!" he boasts. "AND YOU CALL THAT A FAILURE, WORLD GOVERNMENT?!!! I CAN KILL MY ENEMIES MORE EFFECTIVELY THAN ANYONE ELSE!!!" The page introduces him directly: "FORMER GOVERNMENT SCIENTIST 'MASTER' CAESAR CLOWN, BOUNTY 300,000,000 BELI, USER OF THE GAS-GAS NO MI." Caesar relishes having victims again: "SHURORORORO...!! I HAVE EVEN TAKEN THE TROUBLE TO MONITOR AND INSPECT THE STATE OF MY WEAPON'S VICTIMS...!!! YOU JUST WAIT... SOON ENOUGH, I WILL SHOW YOU ALL WHO IS TRULY THE WORLD'S GREATEST SCIENTIST!!!" The truth overturns Brownbeard's faith: the man worshiped as a savior is the scientist who caused the disaster. Page 17: The G-5 Marines put Caesar's past into official context. The caption returns to "THE MARINES" as one of them says, "HUHHH?! BUT THEN, SMOKE-SAN...!! THE ONE WHO WAS REALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT MASSIVE ACCIDENT WAS...?!" Smoker answers through Tashigi's body, "IT WAS CAESAR CLOWN WHO CREATED THE WEAPON, AND CAESAR CLOWN WHO SET IT OFF." He explains why Caesar matters: "HE HELD THE NO. 2 POSITION IN THE RESEARCH TEAM BACK THEN, BUT HE ALWAYS HAD THE MOST TWISTED IDEAS. HE NEVER SAW EYE-TO-EYE WITH VEGAPUNK; THE TWO WERE BITTER RIVALS. VEGAPUNK WAS ONLY HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENT BECAUSE HE HAD SENIORITY." The weapon itself was illegal: "NATURALLY, THE DEVELOPMENT OF WEAPONS THAT SERVE NO PURPOSE BUT TO FLOOD AN ENTIRE ISLAND WITH DEADLY POISON GAS IS AGAINST THE LAW." Caesar was arrested, but "HIS ABILITY WAS TOO MUCH FOR HIS CAPTORS." He escaped and has not been seen since. Smoker concludes, "IF CAESAR REALLY IS HERE ON THIS ISLAND, CONTINUING HIS RESEARCH... THEN WE HAVE TO STOP HIM, NOW. BECAUSE WHATEVER HE'S WORKING ON, YOU CAN BET THE RESULTS AREN'T GOING TO BE PRETTY...!!!"
