## One Piece Chapter 657, pages 21-22: Severed Head - Chapter: 657 - Pages: 21-22 - Characters: Sanji, Tony Tony Chopper, Nami, Franky ### Summary Page 21: Sanji questions the head while carrying him through the facility: "You want to know why we came here? We followed a distress signal from the guys you were slicing up..." Chopper calls him "...Mister Samurai!!" and Sanji warns, "Sanji!! Come on!! Just leave that scary samurai behind!!" The head answers with wounded pride: "I would not shamefully take the lives of others without reason!!" Then his motive erupts across the page: "I came to this island... in order to rescue my son!!!! Those who stand in my way... I will slice down without hesitation!!!!" The bottom panels show suited enemies rushing through the smoke and machinery as Sanji's expression hardens. The samurai is not simply a random murderer; his violence is tied to a missing son somewhere on Punk Hazard. Page 22: Sanji chooses to bring the samurai head with them despite the risk. Chopper protests, "You're taking him with us?! But he's way too dangerous!!" and Sanji answers, "I'll take full responsibility!" Then someone spots the next opening: "A door!!" The group bursts through and stops in front of an unexpected room full of children. The children are enormous compared with normal human size, standing around in hospital-like clothes while the Straw Hats stare from the doorway. One child asks, "Where they?" and another reacts, "Huh??" Sanji and the others freeze. Chopper calls, "Young-lings?!" and Sanji says, "Giant... children?!" The final reaction sums up the shock: "There's nothing but kids everywhere!! What is this place?!!" The chapter ends by replacing the locked-room mystery with a worse one: the facility is holding giant children.
