## One Piece Chapter 686, pages 13-14: The Yuki-Onna of the Biscuit Room - Chapter: 686 - Pages: 13-14 - Characters: Nami, Nico Robin, Tony Tony Chopper, Mocha, Monet, Roronoa Zoro, Caesar Clown's Children, G-5 Marines ### Summary Page 13: Nami, Robin, and Chopper rush on. Nami shouts, "LET'S HURRY!!" Robin answers, "OK!!" and someone calls, "JUST HANG IN THERE, MOCHYA!!" As they leave, Monet speaks with bitter contempt. She says, "What a coarse bunch, day after day. I've treated those children with nothing but kindness and given them a life in which they want for nothing." Then she accuses the Straw Hats: "But of course pirates would try to steal such 'precious treasures' from the parents that care for them!!" Zoro tests her logic with a calm question: "ALL RIGHT. SO THERE'S REALLY NO PROBLEM, THEN?" Monet answers with another snow technique, "TABIRA SNOW," and says, "DON'T GET IN THE WAY OF MY DUTY!!" The page shows how deep Monet's loyalty to Caesar runs. She dresses exploitation up as care and sees rescue as theft. Page 14: Zoro finally presses Monet more seriously. Monet attacks with "SKIN KATANA!!" but Zoro blocks and watches her closely. He starts, "This whole time, you've..." Monet, seeing that he still has not cut her down, asks, "Why've you only been blocking my attacks and not striking back with your blades...!?" Zoro says nothing at first. Monet licks her lips and concludes, "To be completely honest, I didn't really think I could win against you... But now... I unexpectedly wonder if that might not be the case?" Meanwhile, the others have moved on through the cold Biscuit Room. Zoro tells them, "MARINES!! Let's head in that door!!" and adds, "So everyone's out to steal the children... I can't forgive any of you." The page sets up the standoff: Monet believes Zoro's reluctance gives her a chance, while Zoro's silence suggests he has been holding back by choice rather than weakness.
