## One Piece Chapter 689, pages 10-11: An Island That Seems Not to Exist - Chapter: 689 - Pages: 10-11 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Brownbeard, Caesar Clown, Caesar Clown's Subordinates, Momonosuke, Caesar Clown's Children, Marines ### Summary Page 10: Luffy steps through the smoke, and the soldiers recognize him: "IT'S STRAWHAT LUFFY!!" Brownbeard lies badly hurt nearby, still clinging to the belief that Caesar once saved them. A subordinate says, "OUR LIVES WERE SAVED THANKS TO MASTER'S KINDNESS," and another insists, "MASTER IS OUR MERCIFUL SAVIOR GOD...!!" Luffy's face remains hard as he listens. Around him, Brownbeard groans, "AULU... AULU..." while the crowd hesitates between what they have heard and what they were taught to believe. The page is quiet compared to the explosion before it. Luffy has arrived at the moral center of the conflict, where Caesar's followers still cannot fully accept that their savior is the monster. Page 11: Caesar tries to return to business as if nothing matters. He orders, "NNNN!!! GET BACK TO THE SECOND FLOOR, MEN!!!" and says, "THE REST OF HIS CREW AND THE MARINES WILL START APPEARING ONE AFTER THE OTHER ANY MINUTE NOW. PREPARE FOR THE EXPERIMENT TO COMMENCE!! AND CONNECT THE BROAD-CASTER TO EVERY REGION POSSIBLE!!" Luffy stands nearby with Momonosuke, and someone calls, "LUFFY." Momonosuke listens as Caesar speaks of the children: "SO YOU'RE MOMONOSUKE-KUN, HUH. YOU HAVE TO EAT, YOU KNOW... TO SUCH KIND-HEARTED YOUNGSTERS, HE WOULD...!!" Caesar then laughs about the future: "FIVE YEARS FROM NOW NOT ONE WILL BE LEFT ALIVE!! SHURORORORO." Luffy says only, "I KNOW..." The page connects what Luffy heard from Momonosuke with Caesar's own mouth. The children's deaths are not rumor anymore; Caesar is confirming them in front of Luffy.
