## One Piece Chapter 690, pages 13-15: S.A.D. - Chapter: 690 - Pages: 13-15 - Characters: Trafalgar Law, Donquixote Doflamingo, Vergo, Monkey D. Luffy, Caesar Clown, Brownbeard ### Summary Page 13: Law announces the results of the operation to Doflamingo. He says, "VERGO IS DONE FOR. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MOST IMPORTANT SUBORDINATE. AND STRAWHAT-YA IS TAKING CARE OF CAESAR. IN SHORT, YOU'LL ALSO BE LOSING S.A.D...!!" Doflamingo is briefly silent, then Law explains the reason Doflamingo failed to predict it: "AND THE REASON WHY YOU COULDN'T FORESEE THIS UNFORTUNATE COURSE OF EVENTS WAS YOUR OVERCONFIDENCE!! JUST KEEP ON LAUGHING LIKE ALWAYS WHILE PLANNING YOUR NEXT MOVE!!" Brownbeard lies nearby in R-Block, Luffy is fighting Caesar elsewhere, and the huge S.A.D. tank looms in the production room. Law finishes with a warning: "BUT YOU WON'T BE LAUGHING FOR LONG. BECAUSE WE WON'T BE PLAYING YOUR GAME THE WAY YOU EXPECT US TO." The page makes the chapter's strategic purpose explicit: Vergo, Caesar, and S.A.D. are all being removed from Doflamingo's board at once. Page 14: Doflamingo laughs, "FUFU," then "FUFUFUFU FUFUFUFUFU FUFU!!" and asks whether Law is missing the obvious danger in front of him: "AREN'T YOU PISSING OFF VERGO, WHO'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU? WAY BACK THEN...!! DON'T YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED THEN!? WHAT HAPPENED WHEN YOU ENRAGED HIM!? FUFUFU FUFUFUFUFU FU!!" Doflamingo calls it traumatic, "NOT SOMETHING SO EASILY FORGOTTEN, THE TRUE TERROR OF VERGO!!" Vergo steps forward, covering his body in black Armament Haki. Doflamingo says, "HIS HAKI WILL COMPLETELY BLOCK EVEN YOUR CHOPPING ABILITY!! YOU HAVE NO HOPE OF MATCHING HIM IN POWER, EITHER!!" The page reframes Vergo as Doflamingo's final wall: not only strong, but a painful reminder of Law's past defeat. Page 15: Law faces Vergo in front of the S.A.D. production system. Vergo stands fully hardened in Haki, his body turned black as he grips his weapon and towers over Law. Doflamingo's voice continues through the call, saying, "IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS SINCE THE WAR...!! AND WHO'S BEEN DOING WHAT...? YOU'VE ONLY MAINTAINED THE PEACE." The words contrast with the image: Law has not been idle, and he has chosen this moment because the old balance after the war is about to break. The huge S.A.D. tank sits behind them as the thing at stake. If Law can cut through Vergo, he is not simply winning a duel; he is severing Doflamingo's production line and proving that the postwar quiet has been preparation.
