## One Piece Chapter 681, pages 14-16: Luffy vs Master - Chapter: 681 - Pages: 14-16 - Characters: Sanji, Vergo, Nico Robin, G-5 Marines ### Summary Page 14: Sanji yells at the Marines, "WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING!!! HURRY THE HELL UP AND GET OUT OF HERE!!" Vergo stands firm after the blow, and the G-5 soldiers are stunned: "UOHH!! STR... STRONG!!" Robin notices the larger danger: "I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO LOCK US IN WITH THE GAS AGAIN!!!" Sanji looks over and says, "HEY, LOOK!!" The other gate opens with a hiss, "SFFFF," and panic spreads through the passage. "WAHH!! THIS IS BAD!!" someone shouts. Another cries, "THE OTHER GATE IS OPENING!" and the warning is clear: "THE DEADLY GAS IS COMING! RUN!!!" The toxic cloud begins pouring toward them again, while Vergo and Sanji remain in the center of the danger. Caesar's plan is repeating the previous trap, this time with Sanji, Vergo, and G-5 caught in the passage. Page 15: The Marines hesitate over Vergo's identity even as the gas approaches. One mutters, "...!! VICE ADMIRAL VERGO..." and another says, "FORGET HIM!! WOULD THE REAL VERGO TRY TO KILL US!!" Vergo, darkened by Haki, stands like an iron figure. Sanji studies him and realizes, "THIS GUY'S LIKE A MASS OF IRON OR SOMETHING." When Vergo notes, "I SEE... SO IN SHORT," Sanji tells him, "DON'T GET IN MY WAY." Vergo dismisses the fight: "THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU." Sanji answers with personal conviction: "YOU'RE THE TYPE... THAT MY CAPTAIN HATES THE MOST..." The page narrows the conflict. For Vergo, the Marines are disposable and Sanji is irrelevant. For Sanji, Vergo's cruelty toward those who trusted him is exactly the kind of thing Luffy would never tolerate. Page 16: Sanji and Vergo clash at close range. Sanji drives a kick up into Vergo's guard, and the impact is so hard that the page includes a note: the sound effect where Sanji's tibia and fibula are breaking is "*CRACK* *CRACK*." Sanji's face tightens in pain, and the duel continues with rapid exchanges. He is knocked back, recovers, and attacks again, but Vergo's hardened body absorbs and answers the blows. The sequence is mostly impact and motion rather than dialogue: Sanji's legs, Vergo's kicks, and the cracking sound together reveal the cost of trying to match Vergo physically. Sanji is buying time for the others, but the fight is dangerous even for him.
