## One Piece Chapter 691, pages 12-13: The King of the Land of Death - Chapter: 691 - Pages: 12-13 - Characters: Caesar Clown, Caesar Clown's Subordinates, Brownbeard, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 12: Caesar's order is immediate and monstrous. He commands the secret room, "OPEN THE VENTS IMMEDIATELY!!" and adds, "LET SHINOKUNI FLOW INTO THIS ROOM!!!" His logic is simple: "I WON'T DIE, BECAUSE I'M 'GAS' ITSELF." The men hesitate because survivors remain below, but Caesar screams, "I SAID IMMEDIATELY!! STOP DRAGGING YOUR FEET ABOUT IT!!" and insists, "SHINOKUNI WILL BE MY TRUE POWER!!!" When someone protests, "BUT THERE ARE STILL OVER 100 MEN DOWN THERE..." Caesar shows what those men mean to him. He snarls, "DO YOU THINK I CARE, FOOL!? NO MATTER HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF YOU GUINEA PIGS DIE, NO ONE WILL SHED A TEAR FOR THE LOSS OF SOCIETY'S FILTH!!" His subordinates hear the truth directly: their "master" is willing to kill them all as experimental waste. Page 13: From the control room, Caesar continues to scream over the broadcast: "HURRY UP AND DO IT!! ARE YOU HEARING ME!!?" and "I CAN ALWAYS REPLACE ANY NUMBER OF YOU!!" The words land in front of the very soldiers who have worshiped him. They stare at the monitors and finally see Zoro, the others, and their own comrades running from the gas, while Brownbeard watches from below and realizes the same thing. He thinks, "BUT AT LEAST THEY SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME," and then, looking at the screen, "I THINK I CAN SEE ZORO AND THE OTHERS ON THAT MONITOR...!! LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE RUNNING FROM THE GAS." He wonders, "I WONDER IF I CAN ALSO OPERATE THE GATE FROM UP HERE?" Around him, the betrayed men mutter, "YOWCH..." and "WHAT A MEEK BUNCH..." but the important shift has happened: Caesar's cruelty has been made visible to the people who still believed in him.
