## One Piece Chapter 642, pages 8-9: Complete Loss of Face - Chapter: 642 - Pages: 8-9 - Characters: Neptune, Shirahoshi, Hody Jones, Vander Decken IX, Jinbe, Straw Hat Pirates, Gyoncord Plaza, Minister of the Left, Fishman Island ### Summary Page 8: Neptune grasps the situation: "So the princess...? And Hody... And Decken... I see, I see...!! Very well!! I have grasped the current situation!!" He orders, "All men, into the plaza!! Lend your aid to Jinbe and the Straw Hats!!" After the false accusations against them and after forcing them to protect the country in Fishman Island's place, Neptune says there is little dignity left to protect. With their men taking care of the more powerful enemies, all that remains is a rabble of ruffians. The least they can do is offer full military support, while all civilian observers must evacuate immediately. Page 9: The evacuation order meets resistance from frightened but determined citizens. Children cry, "I don't wanna!!!" while others insist that even the human pirates, the Straw Hats, are fighting to protect their island. People say, "We can't just turn around and run away!!" The Minister of the Left orders the men down into the plaza to fight and entrusts others with relaying his words so every man, woman, and child hears the call to evacuate. He warns that if anyone chooses to stay regardless, it will be on their own heads.
