## One Piece Chapter 681, pages 11-12: Luffy vs Master - Chapter: 681 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Caesar Clown, Monet, Donquixote Doflamingo ### Summary Page 11: Caesar tries to escape and Luffy finds a sudden obstruction: "A WALL!?" Monet watches calmly and says, "I WOULDN'T EXPECT ANY LESS... YOUR AVERAGE PIRATE WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO BREAK THIS WALL...!!" A huge barrier erupts between Luffy and Caesar, blocking the chase while Caesar reels away. Luffy smashes into the barrier with "UWAH HHHHH HHH!!" and Caesar stares at Monet's interference. "WHAT THE!? YOU!! YOU HAVE AN ABILITY!?" he blurts. Monet, winged and composed, answers with a soft "UFUFU." Luffy, on the other side, growls that "THIS IS A POINTLESS FIGHT...!!" and Caesar agrees in his own way: "HEH, IT SURE IS!" Monet tells her master, "MASTER, PLEASE GET AWAY FROM HERE!!" The fight is interrupted not because Luffy has lost, but because Monet has stepped in to preserve Caesar. Page 12: Monet spreads her wings and blocks Luffy directly. She tells Caesar, "I'LL BE SEEING YOU, STRAWHAT...!! GO AHEAD AND RAMPAGE TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT!!" and Caesar flees with delight: "SHURORORORORO!!! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!" He adds, "I'VE ALREADY THOUGHT UP A WAY TO TURN YOU ALL INTO BODIES FOR MY EXPERIMENTS!!" Luffy shouts, "WAIT!!" and tries to pursue him, but Monet stops him, declaring, "I WON'T LET YOU GO AFTER HIM!!" Her reason is absolute loyalty and fear: "IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO MASTER... I WOULD BE ELIMINATED BY JOKER." Luffy remembers her from the war and says, "THAT BIRD-MAN I SAW IN THE WAR!!! WHAT'S HIS DEAL!!!" Monet's intervention ties Caesar's survival to Joker's larger shadow.
