## One Piece Chapter 680, pages 9-10: G-5 Base Commander: "Kichiku" Vergo - Chapter: 680 - Pages: 9-10 - Characters: Vergo, G-5 Marines, Smoker ### Summary Page 9: Vergo does not answer the cheering with protection. He moves through the G-5 Marines with brutal speed, striking them down as their caps, weapons, and bodies fly. The soldiers shout, "!!?" and "!?" as the attack lands. Someone asks, "EH...?" then cries, "GYAHH!!" Another says, "IT HURTS!!" The page is almost wordless because the betrayal is obvious in the action: Vergo stands calm in the center while his own supposed subordinates collapse around him, blood and debris marking each impact. The Marines who had just called him one of G-5's two best men are left unable to understand why their superior would suddenly turn on them. Tashigi's warning was correct, but it came too late for the soldiers closest to him. Page 10: The stunned Marines try to make sense of Vergo's betrayal. One says, "V-V-VICE ADMIRAL VERGO, I KNOW THEY SCREWED UP, BUT...!?" while another pleads that if they are hit by his Shigan, "WE'LL..." A Marine warns, "EVEN IF YOU'RE GOING TO DISH OUT CORPORAL PUNISHMENT," but Vergo's strikes continue and someone cries, "GYAH HHHH." The scene folds into memory. In the G-5 base, Vergo once welcomed Smoker with measured politeness: "WELCOME, I'VE HEARD ABOUT YOU COMMODORE SMOKER. I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU." He described the unit with false warmth: "THE MEN OF G-5 ARE A ROUGH BUNCH OF FOOLS. BUT IF YOU GET TO KNOW THEM, YOU'LL SEE THAT THEY'RE NOT AS BAD AS PEOPLE SAY." He added, "I SUSPECT YOU'LL COME TO SEE THEM AS YOUR DEAR LITTLE UNDERLINGS. IN TIME." Another Marine recalls him kindly: "SOMETIMES HE JUST PICKS UP AND HEADS BACK TO HIS HOMETOWN!! HE GOES TO CARE FOR HIS SICK LITTLE SISTER..." Against those memories, the present is grotesque: Vergo is beating those same men without hesitation.
