## One Piece Chapter 690, pages 6-8: S.A.D. - Chapter: 690 - Pages: 6-8 - Characters: Kin'emon, Momonosuke, Usopp, Caesar Clown's Subordinates, Smoker, Vergo, Trafalgar Law, Monkey D. Luffy, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 6: The chapter cuts to two other routes through the lab. On one side, Kin'emon has found Momonosuke's dragon form and is overwhelmed by guilt. He cries, "WHAT A TERRIBLE BLUNDER!! THAT MOMONOSUKE WOULD 'TRANSFORM INTO A SMALL DRAGON'!! AND IT WAS I WHO CUT HIM DOWN!! SUCH A THING CANNOT BE UNDONE! MOMONOSUKE!!" His companion urges him, "KINE-MON-SAN!! IF WE RUN BACK THERE, THE GAS WILL...!!" On R-Block's second floor, in the secret room, Usopp suddenly finds himself surrounded by enemies. He gasps, "HAA... HAA... EH!? WHAT'S THIS," and the soldiers shout, "IT'S AN ENEMY ATTACK!!" "HE'S ONE OF THE STRAWHAT CREW MEMBERS!!" Usopp panics, "H-HOW'D I END UP IN A PLACE WITH SO MANY ENEMIES!!? ALL I WANT IS SOME SEA-STONE CUFFS!!" The page tracks two search missions colliding with danger: Kin'emon's search for his son and Usopp's search for cuffs both run into the chaos of the final escape. Page 7: The scene moves to D-Block, the S.A.D. production room. The map shows the positions clearly: Smoker is fighting Vergo near the S.A.D. tank while Caesar, Luffy, and Law are tied into the broader plan. The huge S.A.D. tank dominates the room, and Smoker stands bloodied in front of Vergo. Vergo studies him and asks, "WHY SO INSISTENT ABOUT USING YOUR ABILITY...!?" Then he says, "IT DOESN'T FEEL LIKE YOUR FIGHTING STYLE, SMOKER-KUN." Smoker is visibly exhausted, still smoking and bleeding, but keeps pushing. Vergo's question matters because it hints that Smoker's battle may not be only about defeating Vergo directly. Something about Smoker's repeated use of smoke is making him a bigger target, and Vergo can tell it is unusual. Page 8: Vergo explains why Smoker's strategy should be a mistake. He says, "AGAINST A SUPERIOR HAKI USER, TURNING INTO SMOKE AND INCREASING YOUR SIZE JUST MAKES YOU A BIGGER TARGET!!" Then he raises his bamboo staff and continues, "WHEN CLAD IN MY COLOR OF ARMAMENTS, EVEN THIS ORDINARY BAMBOO STAFF BECOMES A DEADLY WEAPON... OR DIDN'T YOU KNOW THAT?" The note identifies the attack as "Demon Bamboo," and Vergo brings down "ONITAKE!!" The blow lands brutally, smashing into Smoker with a huge impact. The page emphasizes Vergo's confidence in his Armament Haki. To him, Smoker's smoke body is no advantage at all; it only gives Vergo more surface to strike.
