## One Piece Chapter 681, pages 4-7: Luffy vs Master - Chapter: 681 - Pages: 4-7 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Caesar Clown, Trafalgar Law ### Summary Page 4: Caesar's burning attack erupts into "MIOK GAS!!" with a blast of flame and gas. Luffy is blown back, shouting, "WAH!!" and the impact roars "WHOOSH" and "ZOOM" through the room. Luffy lands hard, panting, "HAA HAA," and demands, "STRAWHAT...!!! WHAT'S YOUR REASON FOR COMING AFTER ME!!?" He answers with brutal simplicity: "...!? I DON'T REALLY KNOW, BUT APPARENTLY SOMETHING INTERESTING WILL HAPPEN IF I KIDNAP YOU!!" Caesar understands the implication and panics into anger: "SO YOU'RE IN AN ALLIANCE, THEN!! AND THIS WAS ALL INSTIGATED BY LAW! YOU CAN'T TRUST THAT GUY!! HE'LL BETRAY YOU FOR SURE, SO QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD!!!" Caesar tries to turn Luffy against Law, but Luffy is not fighting because of careful political reasoning. He has decided to grab Caesar, and Caesar's warnings do not move him. Page 5: Caesar rages, "SO YOU'RE STILL EAGER FOR MORE PAIN, THEN, YOU RUBBER BASTARD!" Luffy answers with a hard stare: "I'M THE ONE WHO DECIDES THAT!!" Caesar changes tactics, clenching both hands while gas gathers around him: "CLENCH" "CLENCH." A note explains that the attack name follows the same format as Shinokuni, with the "kuni" part meaning country or world, and that this one is literally "empty world." Caesar unleashes it with a shout: "KARAKUNI!!" The gas spreads across the room as Luffy leaps away, suddenly forced to confront Caesar's most dangerous advantage: not impact, not fire, but control over the air itself. Page 6: Luffy immediately feels the effect of Caesar's Karakuni. His face tightens, and he thinks, "UHH! THIS IS THE ONE THAT KEEPS ME FROM BREATHING..." Caesar laughs, "SHURORORORO!!" while Luffy is knocked back and gasped for air. The room becomes a death zone where Luffy cannot breathe if he stays too close. Caesar mocks him as Luffy staggers: the attack is not simply a visible cloud, but a space stripped of oxygen. Luffy hits the ground and gasps, and Caesar presses the advantage, forcing him to retreat before he can land another clean blow. Page 7: Luffy measures the danger while panting: "HAA... HAA... SO IT'S ABOUT THIS DISTANCE, HUH!!" Caesar confirms it with cruel confidence: "SHURORORO... THE SPACE WHERE YOU CAN'T BREATHE IS INDEED WITHIN A FIXED RANGE!!" Luffy asks the real question: "BUT CAN YOU KEEP THAT DISTANCE?" and begins his counterattack. "GOMU GOMU NO--" he calls, stretching his arm through the safe gap, then drives forward with "JET PISTOL!!" The blow slams into Caesar with a heavy impact, making him grunt, "UGH!!" Luffy has found the edge of Caesar's suffocation zone and uses his rubber reach to attack from outside it.
