## One Piece Chapter 687, pages 9-11: Beast - Chapter: 687 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Monet, Tashigi, G-5 Marines, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 9: The blizzard roars through the Biscuit Room, pushing Tashigi back in a white current. She staggers and cries, "WAH," while the snow sweeps across the floor. Monet watches and says, "...!! OI, OI...!!" as Tashigi is forced into a difficult position. At the same time, one of the G-5 Marines is trapped beneath Monet's jaws. He calls out, "I'LL BE SURE TO SAY HI TO YOUR MEN, FOR YOU," meaning Monet intends to kill or devour him and use his death as a message. Tashigi sees the threat and moves, but Monet's maw opens wider amid the storm. The page shows Monet fighting on two levels at once: she is dueling Tashigi with snow and speed while also using the captured Marine to punish Tashigi emotionally. Page 10: Monet bites down harder on the Marine's shoulder, and the man screams, "AHHH!!" with "CRACK CRUNCH" as the injury worsens. He cries, "MY... MY SHOULDER!! WHAT'S GOING ON!!?" Tashigi rushes in and demands, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? PLEASE LET GO...!!" But Monet tightens her grip and says, "IF I LET YOU GO... YOU'LL BITE MY SHOULDER CLEAN OFF!!" She adds with predatory confidence, "WELL, I CAN STILL CRUNCH STRAIGHT THROUGH AS IT IS," while the Marine continues screaming. The paneling traps Tashigi between urgency and helplessness: if she hesitates, the Marine is maimed or killed; if she rushes badly, Monet can turn the opening against her. The page makes Monet's cruelty physical and immediate. Page 11: Tashigi finally lands a direct slash on Monet while trying to save the Marine. Her blade cuts across Monet with a loud impact, and Monet, dripping and shocked, reacts, "HUH!?" Tashigi says, "TIME'S UP. I'LL BE MOVING THINGS ALONG NOW." She breathes hard, but her strike proves she can reach Monet's true body with Haki. Monet realizes the danger, yet her confidence turns toward Zoro instead. Tashigi thinks, "But I thought... I thought he wouldn't hurt a woman! This guy...!!" Monet, however, looks at Zoro and says, "IT SEEMS YOU UNDERESTIMATED ME, YUKI ONNA." She understands the larger threat: "HE CAME AT ME JUST NOW WITH EVERY INTENTION OF CUTTING...!!" The page shifts the battle's center. Tashigi has shown she can wound Monet, but Zoro's killing intent, even before the final blow, has begun to frighten her.
