## One Piece Chapter 687, pages 2-3: Beast - Chapter: 687 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Sanji, G-5 Marines, Roronoa Zoro, Tashigi, Monet, Nami, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 2: Sanji explains why he is not worried about leaving Tashigi in the Biscuit Room with Zoro. A Marine mentions Zoro's reputation: "BUT THAT CREW MEMBER OF YOURS, THE 'PIRATE HUNTER,' HE'D CUT DOWN ANYONE WITHOUT MERCY, YEAH? HE HAD A TERRIBLE LOOK IN HIS EYES..." Sanji corrects them: "Contrary to what you might think, he does have a soft side. But he's a guy who'll pull through, one way or the other. No need to worry about Tashigi-chan." The Marines keep running and shout, "ANYWAY, RIGHT NOW WE'VE GOTTA GO SAVE THOSE SHITTY BRATS," while another dreams, "SO THAT NAMI-SAN AND ROBIN-CHAN AND TASHIGI-CHAN WILL SHOWER US WITH PRAISE!!" Back in front of the Biscuit Room exit, Monet tells Nami, Robin, and the others, "YOU GO ON AND GET OUT OF HERE, TOO!!" Robin says, "I'M FREE TO DO AS I PLEASE," and Monet answers, "AND YOU'RE FREE TO BELIEVE THAT." The women leave, but the conflict between Zoro, Tashigi, and Monet remains behind. Page 3: In the Biscuit Room, Zoro and Tashigi face Monet in the snow. Zoro says, "WELL, SINCE I'M A PIRATE, I SUPPOSE I'M ALSO 'FREE' TO GO AHEAD AND TAKE CARE OF YOU FIRST!!" Tashigi immediately challenges him: "RIGHT, MARINE WOMAN...!?" Zoro replies bluntly, "YOU CAN'T." Tashigi is offended: "WHAT!? YOU WON'T CUT ME... AND NEITHER WILL YOU CUT THAT WOMAN!! WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO DECIDE THAT!!" Monet watches with a smile and thinks, "I THOUGHT SO... JUST AS I EXPECTED..." She spreads her wings and rises into the room, laughing, "UFUFU..." The page sets the trap clearly. Tashigi sees Zoro's refusal as discrimination and arrogance, while Monet sees it as a usable weakness. Zoro's actual intent remains unreadable, but both women think they understand him.
