Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Roronoa Zoro, Nami ### Summary Page 0: The title page reads "CHAPTER 684 - STOP IT, VEGAPUNK." The cover story continues: "KEHIHIHIHI IN THE NEW WORLD VOLUME 10 - CARIBOU PIRATE CREW VS. MARINES OF G-5." The illustration shows the Caribou pirate crew clashing with G-5 Marines outside the Marine base, with Caribou and his allies fighting through the chaos. This is official chapter material and confirms the title, but it is separate from the main Punk Hazard story. Page 1: In the S.A.D. production room, Smoker and Vergo finally stand face to face. Smoker looks around the machinery and says, "WHAT'S THIS? THIS DANGEROUS ROOM...!!" The narration marks the confrontation plainly: "THE TWO BIG PLAYERS MEET!" Vergo answers without explaining: "YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW...!!" Smoker, seeing the man who betrayed G-5 and the Marines, tells him, "VERGO. I DON'T WANT MY MEN TO KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT YOU... THEY ADORE YOU, AS IF YOU WERE A PARENT TO THEM. AND THIS BETRAYAL..." Vergo only says his name: "...SMOKER!!!" The emotional weight is clear before the fight begins. Smoker is not only confronting an enemy; he is confronting the person whose betrayal would break the faith of his own Marines. Page 2: Vergo coldly dismisses Smoker's concern. He says, "I THINK IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT. I ENCOUNTERED THEM A LITTLE WHILE AGO." Smoker flares up: "WHAT DID YOU DO!!!" Vergo starts, "WELL..." and Smoker attacks before he can finish, shouting, "VERGO!!!" His jitte slams into Vergo with a massive impact. Vergo addresses him with mocking familiarity: "YOU'RE ALL HEATED UP NOW, AREN'T YOU, SMOKER-KUN...!! DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THOSE REJECT MARINES..." Smoker answers as base commander rather than as a detached officer: "AS BASE COMMANDER, I'M QUITE FREE TO ACT AS I PLEASE NOW." He does not argue about whether G-5 are rejects. He simply makes clear they are his men, and Vergo has crossed that line. Page 3: Vergo arms himself for the duel, drawing a massive projectile-like weapon and stating the reason no witness can leave: "AT ANY RATE, I'VE NO CHOICE BUT TO ELIMINATE ALL OF YOU WHO KNOW MY TRUE IDENTITY." The two men clash amid the pipes and tanks. Vergo's attack tears through the room with a huge explosion, while Smoker twists into smoke and counters, the impacts ringing out with "CLANG," "BOOOM," and "FWIP!!" The fight is not casual punishment anymore; Vergo is openly trying to erase everyone who can expose him. Smoker, meanwhile, uses his smoke body to move through the production room, turning his anger over G-5 into direct combat. Page 4: The fight accelerates across the S.A.D. production room. Vergo strikes through Smoker's smoke, and Smoker sweeps around him, attacking from different angles with his jitte and body transformed. Vergo remains composed, his sunglasses and expression almost unchanged as Smoker comes at him again and again. Smoker presses with smoke-assisted movement, then hammers into Vergo from the side and behind. The page is mostly motion and impact rather than dialogue: Vergo's hardened body, Smoker's smoke trails, and the repeated collisions make the room feel like it is being carved apart by two high-level Marines fighting without restraint. Page 5: Smoker drives a blackened Haki-coated fist toward Vergo, and the two exchange more heavy blows. Vergo's counter lands hard, sending Smoker flying back, but Smoker keeps returning through the smoke. Vergo then explains the cruelty behind his betrayal: "NO MATTER HOW LONG YOU'VE BEEN WITH THEM OR HOW MUCH THEY ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS 'BASE COMMANDER,' WHEN YOU LEAVE THE BASE, THE LIVES OF THE MEN ARE IN THE HANDS OF THEIR COMMANDING OFFICER." The line exposes his worldview. To Vergo, loyalty is not mutual responsibility; it is a command chain he can exploit. Smoker answers through the fight itself, refusing to let Vergo define what command over G-5 means. Page 6: Smoker's anger for G-5 carries into another scene. He shouts, "SO DON'T YOU LAY A HAND ON MY MEN!!" The map marks B-Block on the G-5 side, where Sanji, Tashigi, and the Marines are fleeing through burning corridors. Sanji notices the situation and asks, "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE..." Around them the Marines panic: "HOT HOT HOT...!!" "OUR WAY THROUGH IS...!!" "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE!!" Another shouts, "HURRY!! THOSE WITHOUT INJURIES, KEEP MOVING!!" Fire and smoke fill the stairway ahead. Smoker's declaration in the production room and the Marines' struggle in B-Block are linked by the same idea: G-5 are rough, loud, and half-broken, but they are still lives Smoker has chosen to protect. Page 7: The G-5 side keeps pushing through the flames. The Marines shout, "AND...!! LET'S PROTECT TASHIGI-CHAN!!!" and swarm around Tashigi while she protests, "PLEASE STOP THAT!!!" They answ...
