## One Piece Chapter 680, pages 11-12: G-5 Base Commander: "Kichiku" Vergo - Chapter: 680 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Vergo, Smoker, Tashigi, G-5 Marines ### Summary Page 11: The memory continues with Vergo covering up Caesar's crimes. Smoker confronts him: "VICE ADMIRAL VERGO, CONCERNING THE REPORT ABOUT KIDNAPPED CHILDREN FROM THE OTHER DAY..." Vergo replies smoothly, "AH... WE LOOKED INTO IT EXTENSIVELY AND IT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ANOTHER FALSE REPORT." In the present, Vergo looks at the wounded Marines and says, "CAN YOU REALLY CALL YOURSELVES MARINES!?" then claims responsibility for the disaster: "THERE'S NO EXCUSE. I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE BLUNDER OF MY MEN!! WE WILL HELP YOU HOWEVER WE CAN...!!" The hypocrisy is sharpened by another memory, where Vergo explains the logic behind hiding kidnappings: "THE DEATH OF A CHILD IS FAR TOO HARD FOR ANY PARENT TO BEAR. CLINGING TO THE HOPE THAT IT MAY SIMPLY BE A KIDNAPPING ALLOWS THEM TO LIVE ON." Tashigi, now certain, answers the Marines' shock: "...IS THAT SO. YOU'LL UNDERSTAND TOO, IF YOU EVER BECOME A PARENT." In the present she draws her blade and yells, "EVERYONE GET AWAY!" because "THAT MAN IS NO LONGER THE ONE YOU ONCE KNEW!!!" Page 12: Tashigi moves to stop Vergo herself. She tells the others that he has been this way "FOR A LONG TIME NOW..." and one of the Marines shouts, "CAPTAIN-CHAN!!!" Her sword flashes, but Vergo's counterattack is overwhelming. He knocks her down with a heavy blow, the impact sending her body crashing through the passage as she screams, "AHH!!!" The G-5 soldiers cry out, "CAPTAIN-CHAN!!" and try to reject what they have seen. "THIS GUY'S AN IMPOSTOR!!!" one shouts. Another insists, "THERE'S NO WAY VERGO-SAN WOULD DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS!!!" A third tries to explain it away: "IS IT A DISGUISE!? IS HE AN ABILITY USER!? IT'S GOTTA BE AN IMITATION!!" But Tashigi's words and Vergo's violence leave no real doubt: the beloved Vice Admiral himself has been the traitor all along.
