## One Piece Chapter 680, pages 12-14: G-5 Base Commander: "Kichiku" Vergo - Chapter: 680 - Pages: 12-14 - Characters: Tashigi, Vergo, G-5 Marines, Smoker, Sanji, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary Page 12: Tashigi moves to stop Vergo herself. She tells the others that he has been this way "FOR A LONG TIME NOW..." and one of the Marines shouts, "CAPTAIN-CHAN!!!" Her sword flashes, but Vergo's counterattack is overwhelming. He knocks her down with a heavy blow, the impact sending her body crashing through the passage as she screams, "AHH!!!" The G-5 soldiers cry out, "CAPTAIN-CHAN!!" and try to reject what they have seen. "THIS GUY'S AN IMPOSTOR!!!" one shouts. Another insists, "THERE'S NO WAY VERGO-SAN WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!" A third tries to explain it away: "IS IT A DISGUISE!? IS HE AN ABILITY USER!? IT'S GOTTA BE AN IMITATION!!" But Tashigi's words and Vergo's violence leave no real doubt: the beloved Vice Admiral himself has been the traitor all along. Page 13: The G-5 Marines still refuse to abandon their image of Vergo. One says, "HE'S A GUY WHO ALWAYS STICKS UP EVEN FOR A BUNCH OF GOOD-FOR-NOTHING SOLDIERS LIKE US..." Another cries, "HE'S HUMANE AND JUST!!! SO DROP THE ACT, PHONY!!" Their denial breaks as Vergo keeps striking and Tashigi is unable to move. She gasps, "I CAN'T SPEAK..." and pleads weakly, "PLEASE STOP..." The Marines finally call beyond him for the one man they now trust to oppose Vergo: "HELP US, SMOKER-SAN!!!" Then a sudden kick crashes into Vergo. He turns with "WHO'S THIS," while the newcomer hangs in the air and says, "A LADY IS..." The next page reveals the answer, but here the important beat is rescue: someone from the Straw Hat side has heard Tashigi's tears and intervened before Vergo can continue crushing her. Page 14: Sanji lands between Vergo and Tashigi, completing the line he began as he arrives: "CALLING OUT FOR ME!!!" The Marines stare in shock: "S-S-STRAWHAT CREW!!" and "WHY IS A PIRATE...!?" Sanji's face is hard and angry as he says, "I HEARD THE FALL OF A WOMAN'S TEARS." Nearby, Luffy and others are shown reacting from elsewhere in the passage, while Vergo watches this unexpected interference. Sanji has not come because of strategy or alliance formalities; he moved because Tashigi was hurt and crying. The page reframes the fight: G-5 called for Smoker, but the first person to answer Tashigi's distress is Sanji, stepping directly into Vergo's path.
