## One Piece Chapter 684, pages 9-11: Stop It, Vegapunk - Chapter: 684 - Pages: 9-11 - Characters: Sanji, Tashigi, G-5 Marines, Caesar Clown, Momonosuke, Straw Hat Crew ### Summary Page 9: The gas pours into B-Block from outside, swallowing the area in a thick cloud. Someone screams, "IT'S THE DEADLY GAS FROM OUTSIDE!!" Another orders, "RUN, YOU GUYS!! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DIE, RUN!!" People stumble, shout, and drag one another away while the gas fills the ruined space behind them. Tashigi realizes the same disaster is spreading elsewhere: "IN B-BLOCK TOO... AS BIG AS IT IS...!!" Sanji urges her forward: "TASHIGI-CHAN!! RUN AHEAD! IF YOU GET HESITATE, YOU'LL BE DONE FOR!! BE SURE NOT TO GET LOST!!" The Marines shout, "'BLACK LEG'!!" and someone else yells, "GET GOING!! SLOW DOWN AND YOU'RE DEAD!!" Even after surviving the earlier gate, the group has to run again or be trapped by Shinokuni. Page 10: In R-Block, second floor, the secret room, Caesar watches the monitors and laughs, "SHURORORORO...!! IT WENT AND LET SHINOKUNI IN!!" A feed shows chaos: "...THIS IS THAT DRAGON'S DOING..." and people cry, "GYAH HHHH HH." Caesar is briefly annoyed because the victims are not yet where he wants them: "HOWEVER...!! IF THEY DIE FOR ME WHERE THEY ARE NOW, MY EXPERIMENT DISPLAY WILL BE ALL FOR NAUGHT!" He gives new orders: "HEY!! CLOSE THE GATES TO C AND D-BLOCKS!!" When someone asks, "ROGER!! WHAT ABOUT R-BLOCK...?" Caesar answers, "LEAVE THAT ONE, AND ONLY THAT ONE, OPEN!! WE'LL DRAW THEM IN TO THE FIRST FLOOR OF R-BLOCK!!" He adds, "IN ANY CASE, THEY'RE AIMING FOR THE R-66 GATE, SO LET'S TAKE AWAY ANY DETOURS. WE'LL HELP THEM OUT A BIT...!!" Caesar is shaping the entire laboratory into a forced route toward his final demonstration. Page 11: Caesar explains the plan to his subordinates in the secret room. He says, "NO, NO, THAT'S ALRIGHT, YOU GUYS ARE MY LAST RESORT WHEN IT COMES TO FIGHTING. I DON'T WANT ANY UNNECESSARY BLOOD BEING SPILLED." Then he lays out the route: "HERE'S THE PLAN...!! LIKE I SAID BEFORE, IF WE CLOSE THE GATES TO C AND D, THEN ALL PASSAGES IN THE LAB WILL LEAD TO THE FLOOR BELOW US. THEY ALL CONNECT TO THE FIRST FLOOR OF R-BLOCK...!!" The map shows survivors from the Straw Hats, G-5, and the children being funneled toward Block R, first floor, where R66 is located. Caesar says, "THE STRAWHAT CREW, G-5, THE CHILDREN-- IT DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER THEY'RE ENEMIES OR NOT. ALL THE SURVIVORS UP TO THIS POINT WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO COME TO THE ROOM BELOW." Then the cruelty becomes clear: "ON THE FIRST FLOOR OF R-BLOCK, THERE ARE VENTS THAT WILL LET IN THE OUTSIDE AIR. THAT IS TO SAY... WE'LL BRING IN 'SHINOKUNI!!' THERE WILL BE NO ROUTE FOR THEM TO ESCAPE BY."
