## One Piece Chapter 698, pages 16-17: Doflamingo Appears - Chapter: 698 - Pages: 16-17 - Characters: Trafalgar Law, Caesar Clown, Vegapunk, Monkey D. Luffy, Kin'emon, Donquixote Doflamingo, Smoker, Kuzan, G-5 Marines ### Summary Page 16: Law clarifies that Caesar's work was not genius in the pure sense. "IT WAS SIMPLY A PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF THE 'LINEAGE FACTORS' THAT VEGAPUNK DISCOVERED." Caesar tries to boast that "THAT VEGAPUNK IS REALLY AMAZING..." but is shouted down: "SHUT UP! LET'S SEE YOU IDIOTS TRY MAKING IT!!" and "MORONS THAT YOU ARE!!" Law moves to the next stage: "JOKER IS DONE FOR. NOW WE JUST HAVE TO MOVE ONTO OUR NEXT STEP." The factory is the target now: "SOMEWHERE IN DRESSROSA IS THE FACTORY WHERE THEY PRODUCE 'SMILE'S." Luffy understands the simple version: "SO WE SHOULD GO AND DESTROY IT, YEAH?" Law agrees but warns them not to underestimate the enemy: "THAT'S RIGHT... BUT OUR ENEMY IS A BUSINESS MASTERMIND... SO DON'T GET CARELESS." Kin'emon confirms his own reason to go there: "AND THAT'S ALSO WHERE YOU WANT TO GO, KIN?" "INDEED I DO!" Then he reveals the personal stake: "A COMRADE OF MINE...!! IS CAPTURED THERE!!" Page 17: Back on Punk Hazard, Doflamingo has Smoker pinned beneath him, ready to finish the Vice Admiral. A voice cuts through the snow with casual apology: "ARARA, SORRY ABOUT THIS, BRO." Kuzan appears behind him and says, "BUT I'M GONNA NEED YOU GET OFF OF HIM." Doflamingo recognizes the threat at once. The watching Marines panic, "PLEASE STOP!! SMO-YAN IS GONNA DIE!!" and "WITHOUT HIM..." They know what Smoker means to them: "THERE'D BE NO ONE TO UNIFY AND LEAD A BUNCH OF DUMB THUGS LIKE US!!" One of Doflamingo's allies warns with cold confidence, "DON'T WORRY, I'LL BE KILLING YOU ALL AS WELL!!" and admits, "THERE'S NO WAY OF TELLING HOW MUCH EACH OF YOU KNOW..." The threat spreads beyond Smoker: "AND THEN LAW, AND STRAWHAT TOO!!" and "I'LL FIND THEM BEFORE THIS DAY IS THROUGH!!!" Smoker coughs in pain, but Kuzan stands over him and repeats the order with quiet force: "...OFF OF MY FRIEND, THERE."
