## One Piece Chapter 689, pages 3-4: An Island That Seems Not to Exist - Chapter: 689 - Pages: 3-4 - Characters: Caesar Clown, Brownbeard, Caesar Clown's Subordinates ### Summary Page 3: Brownbeard's men report that they cannot get inside. One says, "MASTER--!! THE FRONT ENTRANCE IS SWARMING WITH MARINES AND THE GATE IS CLOSED..." Another adds, "HAA... HAA... WE CAN'T GET INSIDE!! TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD DO...!!" Caesar mutters, "WHAT'S WRONG? ...OH, BROWNBEARD'S MEN?" and then dismisses them entirely. When asked, "MASTER, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THEM INSIDE?" Caesar says, "FORGET ABOUT THEM. THE ISLAND IS GOING TO BE COVERED WITH SHINOKUNI BEFORE LONG, ANYWAY." The words devastate Brownbeard. Caesar continues with casual indifference: "GOOD GRACIOUS, I WONDER WHAT COULD BE WRONG. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. ACTUALLY, I WAS ALSO JUST STARTING TO WORRY...!!" The page exposes Caesar's cruelty in real time. His subordinates are pleading for help, and he treats their deaths as an inconvenience already accounted for. Page 4: Brownbeard sees the truth and begins warning the others. He says, "IF... THEY HAVEN'T COME BACK ALREADY... AND THEY'RE STILL OUTSIDE... THEN..." and then, shaken by what Caesar has done, "I CAN'T TRUST ANYTHING YOU SAY ANYMORE!!! HOW COULD HE SAY SUCH A THING TO MASTER!?" Someone asks, "BROWNBEARD, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU!!" Brownbeard turns to his fellow subordinates and shouts, "YOU GUYS TOO! WE'VE SPENT TWO GOOD YEARS ON THIS ISLAND TOGETHER!! BUT WE'VE GOT TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY! WANT TO KNOW WHAT THIS GUY HAS BEEN CALLING YOU BEHIND YOUR BACKS!?" Caesar has called them "HINNEY FIGS!!" "FINNEY TIGS!!" and, most clearly, "GUINEA PIGS!!" Brownbeard finally understands the insult beneath Caesar's affection. The men who worshiped Caesar as a savior were test subjects to him.
