## One Piece Chapter 669, pages 15-16: The Operation Begins - Chapter: 669 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Brownbeard, G-5 Marines, Caesar Clown's Men, Monkey D. Luffy, Nico Robin, Smoker, Tashigi, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 15: Outside, someone spots an object falling from the sky: "HEY!! LOOK UP THERE!!!" Another shouts, "SOMETHING'S FLYING THIS WAY!!" and assumes, "IT MUST BE A GIANT BOMB!!" The object crashes with "DOOON!!!" and a huge winged figure slams into the snow. The Marines stare: "H-HUHH?! PEOPLE?!" and "...IT'S A HUMAN!?" It is Brownbeard, thrown down from above with his centaur-like bulk and wings spread, landing hard enough to scatter everyone nearby. Page 16: Luffy rides the fall straight into the operation. He lands with Brownbeard and throws both arms into the air, laughing, "SHOW YOURSELF, 'MASTER'!!! I'M GONNA BEAT YOU UP AND KIDNAP YOU!!!" Brownbeard mutters, "GAHAH... THAT WAS QUITE SOME SHORTCUT!!" Robin follows nearby and says, "QUIET ABOUT THAT LAST PART, LUFFY..." The Marines recognize the attackers at once: "IT'S THE STRAW HAT PIRATES!!" Smoker, still separated from his proper body, grits his teeth: "THAT IDIOT... I DIDN'T TELL HIM TO GO UP AGAINST THE MARINES!!" Tashigi stares and says, "STRAW HAT..." The operation to capture Caesar has begun, but Luffy announces it in exactly the least subtle way possible.
