## One Piece Chapter 689, pages 11-12: An Island That Seems Not to Exist - Chapter: 689 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Caesar Clown, Monkey D. Luffy, Momonosuke, Caesar Clown's Children, Caesar Clown's Subordinates, Marines ### Summary Page 11: Caesar tries to return to business as if nothing matters. He orders, "NNNN!!! GET BACK TO THE SECOND FLOOR, MEN!!!" and says, "THE REST OF HIS CREW AND THE MARINES WILL START APPEARING ONE AFTER THE OTHER ANY MINUTE NOW. PREPARE FOR THE EXPERIMENT TO COMMENCE!! AND CONNECT THE BROAD-CASTER TO EVERY REGION POSSIBLE!!" Luffy stands nearby with Momonosuke, and someone calls, "LUFFY." Momonosuke listens as Caesar speaks of the children: "SO YOU'RE MOMONOSUKE-KUN, HUH. YOU HAVE TO EAT, YOU KNOW... TO SUCH KIND-HEARTED YOUNGSTERS, HE WOULD...!!" Caesar then laughs about the future: "FIVE YEARS FROM NOW NOT ONE WILL BE LEFT ALIVE!! SHURORORORO." Luffy says only, "I KNOW..." The page connects what Luffy heard from Momonosuke with Caesar's own mouth. The children's deaths are not rumor anymore; Caesar is confirming them in front of Luffy. Page 12: Luffy says that everyone on Punk Hazard has been deceived: "...EVERYONE HERE HAS BEEN TRICKED IN SOME WAY." Caesar answers, "SHURORORORO... THAT'S RIGHT. HAA... HAA..." Luffy looks around and asks, "WHAT THE HELL KIND OF ISLAND IS THIS!!" Caesar explains with pride rather than shame: "...IT'S REALLY A LOT LIKE 'GAS.' AN ISLAND THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO EXIST!!" He reveals why Punk Hazard is useful to him: "AND IT'S FOR THAT REASON THAT I CAN BUILD SUCH STRONG CONNECTIONS WITH THE UNDERWORLD!! THIS PLACE IS A PERFECT BASE FOR SCIENCE DONE IN THE SHADOWS!! UNFORGIVABLE EXPERIMENTS. AND THE ESSENTIAL SUPPLY OF BODIES FOR TESTING!!! I'VE GOT EVERYTHING I COULD POSSIBLY WANT!!" The page defines Punk Hazard as a hidden criminal laboratory: invisible to the world, perfect for illegal experiments, and full of people Caesar can use.
