## One Piece Chapter 683, pages 5-7: A Woman Like Ice - Chapter: 683 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Monet, Donquixote Doflamingo, Vergo, Sanji, Tashigi, Trafalgar Law, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 5: Luffy breaks through the floor rather than through Monet herself. He grins weakly and says, "YOU... THE FLOOR...!! NISHISHISHI!!" but the victory is hollow: his own Jet Spear has opened the way beneath him. Monet watches him fall and comments, "...WHAT ASTONISHING LATENT POWER YOU HAVE..." Luffy and the rubble plunge down the ducts as he cries, "UWAH HHHHHH!!" Monet explains the consequence with icy calm: "...BUT NOW YOU'LL FALL DOWN THROUGH THE DUCTS. THERE'S NO WAY OUT UNLESS YOU CAN FLY. YOU REALLY DUG YOUR OWN GRAVE. GOODBYE." She adds that he will fall "INTO THE 'GARBAGE CAN' FAR UNDERGROUND." Luffy has escaped the snow shell only by dropping himself out of the fight, exactly the kind of time-buying Monet needed. Page 6: Back on Punk Hazard's other front, Doflamingo's thoughts and orders continue. He says, "I'D DESTROY THAT ROOM!!!" but then considers the immediate priority: "IF IT WERE ME, WELL... FIRST..." The page shows the violence already unleashed around Vergo and Sanji, with Tashigi wounded and panting. A huge explosion tears through the street-like interior space as Vergo's force and the chaos around the passage continue to escalate. The scene reads like Doflamingo thinking through Vergo's best move: Law has reached the S.A.D. production room, but enemies and witnesses are still scattered around the battlefield. Vergo's task is to eliminate the threat before Law can turn Punk Hazard into a strategic disaster. Page 7: Doflamingo's logic narrows around Caesar and S.A.D. He says, "AND HE'S ALSO GOING TO KIDNAP CAESAR, HUH..." and then rejects that option for himself: "NO, IF IT WERE ME, I'D JUST KILL HIM...!!" The reason is simple and terrifying: "WHY? BECAUSE CAESAR... IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD... WHO KNOWS HOW TO PRODUCE S.A.D." If Caesar were killed, Doflamingo himself would have a problem, and he tells Vergo so: "...BUT IF THAT WERE TO HAPPEN I'D BE THE ONE WITH A PROBLEM, VERGO...!!" He asks, "AND DO YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I'VE GOT A PROBLEM?" The answer is violence, shown by a gunshot and a body struck down. Doflamingo's world has no room for failure: if a subordinate creates a problem, someone pays for it immediately.
