## One Piece Chapter 681, pages 16-18: Luffy vs Master - Chapter: 681 - Pages: 16-18 - Characters: Sanji, Vergo, Trafalgar Law, Caesar Clown, G-5 Marines, Nami, Monkey D. Luffy ### Summary 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. Page 17: The G-5 Marines shout from the passage, "HEY!! 'BLACK LEG' BRO!!!" and warn him, "THE POISONOUS GAS IS COMING UP BEHIND YOU!! AND THE GATE'S CLOSING!!! SO GET OVER HERE, QUICK!!!" At the same time an emergency broadcast echoes through Laboratory 3: "REPORTING FROM D-BLOCK. THIS IS AN EMERGENCY BROADCAST! ATTENTION, ALL BLOCKS OF LABORATORY 3." Vergo hears it, and the report begins: "AS OF NOW, TRAFALGAR LAW HAS...!!" Caesar, listening elsewhere, snaps, "IS THAT PUNK SERIOUS... IF YOU START MEDDLING WITH THAT EVEN YOU'RE GOING TO SUFFER SOME CONSEQUENCES!!" The broadcast continues: "HE'S INVADED THE SAD PRODUCTION ROOM!!" Vergo reacts with surprise: "!?... WHAT THE HELL!?" The fight in the passage suddenly becomes part of something larger: Law has reached the room Caesar and Doflamingo most need protected. Page 18: The broadcast repeats the critical information: "I REPEAT... KIDNAPPING MASTER... AND NOW THE SAD...!!" Nami, Luffy, and the others listen while someone says, "I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU GUYS ARE AFTER." Vergo understands Law's strategy at last: "HE TEAMED UP WITH THE STRAWHATS TO MAKE THIS COUNTER-ATTACK!! AND HE BECAME A ROYAL SHICHIBUKAI JUST TO REACH THAT ROOM...!? LAW!!!" In the SAD production room, Law stands in silhouette and judges the scale of the plan. "THAT BRAT... HE'S CONSTRUCTING THE WORST POSSIBLE SCENARIO!!" Vergo thinks, and Law's own line lands with ominous weight: "DOES HE INTEND TO THROW THE ENTIRE NEW WORLD INTO CHAOS!!!" The chapter closes on the revelation that Law's target is not merely Caesar, but the production system behind SAD, a resource whose destruction could destabilize the balance of the New World.
