## One Piece Chapter 686, pages 12-13: The Yuki-Onna of the Biscuit Room - Chapter: 686 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Monet, Tony Tony Chopper, Roronoa Zoro, Mocha, Caesar Clown's Children, Caesar Clown, Nami, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 12: Monet states her duty plainly. Watching the children move away, she says, "...This just won't do... Those children are Master's precious experiments..." Then she adds, "My duty is... to protect Caesar and his experiments..." Chopper is furious and demands, "Who was it who planted in Mochya the idea to rebel?" He rejects Monet's claim and shouts, "What are you talking about!? The children asked of their own free will to be saved." Zoro cuts through the hesitation and orders, "OUT OF THE WAY, YOU GUYS!!" Then he turns to the others and says, "Well, follow them!!" The visual action matches the words: Zoro strikes into Monet's snow barrier and opens the path while the others run after Mocha and the children. The argument is also a moral split. Monet sees the children as Caesar's property; Chopper insists their wish to be saved is real. 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.
