## One Piece Chapter 681, pages 2-4: Luffy vs Master - Chapter: 681 - Pages: 2-4 - Characters: Trafalgar Law, Smoker, Vergo, Monkey D. Luffy, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 2: Law answers Smoker without changing his course. He says, "IF HEARTS START GETTING CRUSHED, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS." Then he sets the condition clearly: "SO UNTIL I GET MY OWN HEART BACK FROM VERGO, I CAN'T TOLERATE ANY RECKLESSNESS FROM YOU." He continues, "AS LONG AS WE'RE ON THIS ISLAND, YOU WILL DO AS I SAY." Smoker's silence acknowledges the logic, not the trust. Law asks, "YOU GOT THAT?" and moves on. A moment later his urgency breaks through: "!!? WHERE ARE YOU, VERGO!!" Law runs down the corridor, thinking, "I THOUGHT THAT... CAME AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND BY THE SHORTEST ROUTE BUT..." His expression twists as he realizes the enemy he needs is not where expected. The priority is no longer Caesar alone; Law must retrieve his heart from Vergo before Vergo can use it against him. Page 3: Caesar lunges in gaseous form, and Luffy shouts that he has him: "GOT...!!" But Caesar twists the situation instantly, grabbing at Luffy through the smoke. "SO YOU'VE GOT ME, DO YOU!?" he snarls as the gas coils around Luffy. Luffy is caught and yanked downward with a violent "GRAB," his body slammed into the floor. Caesar grins and gathers heat around his hands, preparing his counterattack. His fists ignite as he announces, "BURNING STYLE." The flames crackle with "TCH" while Luffy braces, and the fight shifts from pursuit to direct close-quarters combat. Caesar is not trying to flee yet; he is proving that his body and powers make him dangerous even when Luffy reaches him. Page 4: Caesar's burning attack erupts into "MIOK GAS!!" with a blast of flame and gas. Luffy is blown back, shouting, "WAH!!" and the impact roars "WHOOSH" and "ZOOM" through the room. Luffy lands hard, panting, "HAA HAA," and demands, "STRAWHAT...!!! WHAT'S YOUR REASON FOR COMING AFTER ME!!?" He answers with brutal simplicity: "...!? I DON'T REALLY KNOW, BUT APPARENTLY SOMETHING INTERESTING WILL HAPPEN IF I KIDNAP YOU!!" Caesar understands the implication and panics into anger: "SO YOU'RE IN AN ALLIANCE, THEN!! AND THIS WAS ALL INSTIGATED BY LAW! YOU CAN'T TRUST THAT GUY!! HE'LL BETRAY YOU FOR SURE, SO QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD!!!" Caesar tries to turn Luffy against Law, but Luffy is not fighting because of careful political reasoning. He has decided to grab Caesar, and Caesar's warnings do not move him.
