## One Piece Chapter 685, pages 7-9: Mine Name Is Momonosuke, That It Is! - Chapter: 685 - Pages: 7-9 - Characters: Momonosuke, Caesar Clown's Children, Caesar Clown's Subordinates, Monkey D. Luffy, Vegapunk ### Summary Page 7: The child tries to make Momonosuke understand why everyone stays together. The child says, "It's tough... But all us kids are in the same boat here. We all want to see our mommies and daddies, even just one day sooner. We've all gathered here from different islands in order to be cured... so everyone feels the same way." Momonosuke listens silently as the child continues, "I've also got a bunch of things I want to do when I get home!! But we all have fun in the biscuit room!" The child adds that there, "You can forget about your troubles and you really have to eat..." Before the conversation can continue, panic breaks in from outside: "The gate to the 'secret room' is open!!" and "This is bad! Someone's here!! Let's go, Momonosuke-kun!!" Guards approach and ask, "Is someone in there?" The child is offering fellowship, but the facility's rules close around them immediately. Momonosuke's escape attempt has exposed them both to the secret room's danger. Page 8: Momonosuke and the child try to flee, but something in the secret room takes effect before they can simply leave. The child cries out, "UH... UHAH!!" Someone reacts, "WHAT THE!?" Then the horror spreads across the room as Momonosuke's body begins changing. The panels catch the shock in fragments: "WHAT...!?" "AAAHHHH..." "EH!?" The transformation is not graceful or controlled; it is sudden, frightening, and impossible for the witnesses to understand. By the time the guards and child look at him, the question is no longer whether a boy escaped. Someone can only stammer, "...? D...DRAGON...?" while another voice cries, "WHAT'S GOING ON!!?" Momonosuke has become a dragon in front of them, and the flashback reaches the moment that explains the body Luffy is now seeing in the trash chute. Page 9: The guards discover what caused the change. One says, "Take a look. It was definitely here. The 'artificial devil fruit' that Vegapunk made. I heard it was a failure, but..." Momonosuke, now in dragon form, panics and flees while the flashback explains the origin of his transformation: he ate Vegapunk's artificial Devil Fruit. Back in the present, Momonosuke summarizes, "In short, I truly am human." Luffy finally understands the mechanism and says, "Ah, so it was a Devil Fruit...!! You must be an eel man." He tells him, "So just go ahead and turn back into a human." Momonosuke cannot do it on command. Luffy admits, "Well, I'm no zoan, so I don't know... But man, is it a long way up to the top. I can't even see the hole I fell through." The page connects several plot pieces at once: Vegapunk's failed artificial fruit, Momonosuke's dragon body, and the practical problem that Luffy and Momonosuke are still trapped far below the exit.
