## One Piece Chapter 679, pages 20-22: The Audacity of G-5 - Chapter: 679 - Pages: 20-22 - Characters: Caesar Clown, Tashigi, G-5 Marines ### Summary Page 20: Outside the lab, Caesar's plan moves into its most brutal stage. A label reads "OUTSIDE THE LAB." The outer wall of A-Block of Laboratory 3 is targeted, and the order is given: "EXPERIMENTAL-USE CANNON-BALL, STANDING BY!!!" Another command follows: "AIMING!!" and then "SHIFT!!" The cannon is pointed at the wall. Inside, the blast hits with a massive impact, and the trapped people cry, "!!?" and "UWAHHHHHHHH!!" Debris and smoke fill the area. One person shouts, "THE WALL BROKE! OH GOD... NO..." Tashigi sees the breach with horror: "EHH..." Through the broken wall, the poison gas floats inward: "*FLOAT* FLOAT*" Someone cries, "YOU'VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!" The page confirms Caesar has not merely closed the gate; he has opened A-Block to Shinokuni. Page 21: The broken wall vomits Shinokuni into A-Block. Someone screams, "THAT KILLER GAS IS COMING INSIDE!!!" The gas floods behind the crowd as the group runs, and the commands become pure survival: "RUN!! RUN!!" The people nearest the gas panic: "AAA AAA!!" "HELP M..." and one victim cries, "GYAHHHHHHH!!" as the poison catches him. The escape route is now almost shut, and someone shouts, "INTO THE GATE!!" Another warns, "IF WE DON'T MAKE IT, WE'RE AS GOOD AS DEAD!!" The page shows the cruel geometry of Caesar's trap: the gas advances from the broken wall while the Section B gate closes ahead, forcing everyone through a narrowing gap or leaving them to petrify behind it. Page 22: In the crush before the gate, Tashigi is thrown through the closing gap. Someone yells, "MADE IT!!" while another is hit aside with "OOF...!!" Tashigi lands on the safe side, stunned: "WOAH!!" and someone cries, "EHH!!? CAPTAIN-CHAN CAME FLYING THROUGH!!" She wakes into immediate concern: "HAA... HAA... PLEASE GET OUT OF MY WAY. THERE ARE STILL A NUMBER OF MARINES OUT THERE!!!" Another Marine asks, "CAPTAIN-CHAN, HOW DID YOU FLY IN LIKE THAT!? DID SOMEONE THROW YOU!? AND SO VIOLENTLY!!" But the answer is bitter: "AND THERE'S NO WAY BACK OUT, THE GATE IS ALREADY--" The page reveals that G-5 has chosen to prioritize Tashigi's survival, even if their own escape is no longer possible.
