## One Piece Chapter 688, pages 5-7: Mochya - Chapter: 688 - Pages: 5-7 - Characters: Mocha, Nami, Caesar Clown's Children, Tony Tony Chopper, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 5: Mocha makes her choice. With the children closing in and the candy about to be taken from her, she bites into it herself with a huge "CRUNCH...!!" The surrounding children stare in shock. Someone screams, "THAT MOCHYA-- SHE WENT AND ATE ALL THE CANDY!!" Another cries, "NOT FAIR!!" Nami is horrified and shouts, "MOCHYA!! YOU WON'T GET AWAY WITH THIS!!" while Mocha keeps eating, her face full of fear and resolve. One child yells, "GIVE IT BACK!! GIVE BACK OUR CANDY!!" and another accuses her of "TAKING IT ALL FOR YOURSELF." Nami can only wonder, "HOW COULD SHE--!!" The page lands the chapter's central act: Mocha protects everyone by taking the poison into her own body, knowing exactly how dangerous it is. Page 6: The children and Chopper shout for Mocha to stop. One screams, "YOU CAN'T! SPIT IT ALL OUT!!" and another asks, "DIDN'T I TELL YOU JUST WHAT KIND OF A DRUG THAT IS!?" Mocha, crying with her cheeks stuffed, thinks of the children and says, "CHOPPER-CHAN... THEY'RE MY FRIENDS!!" She refuses to let them eat it. The children keep demanding, "GIVE IT BACK!! MOCHYA!!" and "GIVE US THE CANDY," while another voice begs, "DON'T DO IT!!" As Mocha swallows, memories of the truth Chopper told her return. A child asks, "SO MASTER IS A BAD MAN?" and Chopper answers, "YEAH, HE'S A REALLY BAD GUY." The page shows Mocha forcing herself through terror because she has finally accepted the truth about Caesar. The candy is not a treat, and saving her friends means bearing the danger alone. Page 7: Mocha remembers Chopper explaining Caesar's deception. In the memory, the children pound at a door and shout, "OPEN UP, MOCHYA!!! WE'RE GOING TO THE BISCUIT ROOM!!" and "WE WANT CANDY!!!" Mocha still struggles to accept the truth, saying, "BUT HE WAS ALWAYS SO NICE TO US...!! AND THAT CANDY HE GIVES US EVERY DAY IS SO YUMMY! THAT'S PART OF HIS SCHEME!!" Chopper answers with the facts: "YOU GUYS ARE HIS EXPERIMENTS. NONE OF YOU WERE EVER REALLY SICK." He explains, "THAT BIG BODY OF YOURS IS PROOF. I'VE HEARD THAT ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS, PEOPLE HAVE RESEARCHED 'GIGANTIFICATION' FOR THE PURPOSE OF WAR." Then comes the worst part: "NOW, IT MIGHT BE HARD TO HEAR THIS, BUT... IN OTHER WORDS, THEY'VE BEEN FAILING FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS...!! IT'S AN EXPERIMENT WITH NO RECORD OF SUCCESS. THIS EXPERIMENT WILL ALSO FAIL!!" The page turns the children's illness into a lie and their bodies into evidence of Caesar's war research.
