## One Piece Chapter 683, pages 12-15: A Woman Like Ice - Chapter: 683 - Pages: 12-15 - Characters: Nami, Usopp, Kin'emon, Momonosuke, Nico Robin, Brook, Roronoa Zoro ### Summary Page 12: Nami raises her hands and tries to make her weather technique work: "WORK... WORK..." Kin'emon, watching the motion, says, "MY SAMURAI IMPRESSION-- THAT'S MORE LIKE A NINJA." She calls, "NIN NIN NIN PLEASE WORK!!" while Usopp asks, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING..." The trap activates over the dragon as she unleashes "THUNDER TRAP!!!" and the lightning crashes down. Momonosuke roars, "GURR RYYYYA HHH!!" while Usopp follows with "TAKE THIS-- THE WORLD'S SMALLEST FLOWER!! SPECIAL GREEN STAR!!!" Someone shouts, "AH!! MY TARGET HAS...!!" and the onlookers misread the whole thing as ninjutsu: "HUH!! SO THE BREAST-BAND GIRL IS A USER OF NINJUTSU!!" Nami snaps, "STOP CALLING ME THAT!!" The page shows the crew piling improvised techniques onto a threat they still do not understand. Page 13: Usopp's plant attack bursts with "RAFFLESIA!!" and a note explains that tengu are red-faced goblins known for their long noses after someone shouts, "UOHH!! AND OF COURSE, THE GREAT TENGU GOBLIN IS PROFICIENT IN SORCERY!!!" Usopp protests, "WHO'S A GOBLIN!!" The dragon roars, "ROAR RRRR...!!!" and the attack goes off with "PUFF." Robin joins with calm precision: "Quarenta Fleur!! Quatro Mano!" Her blooming arms seize the dragon, and she commands, "HOLD!!" Even the confused bystanders shout, "EVEN THE COURTESAN USES NIN-JUTSU!!!" The dragon struggles while fire spreads around them. Usopp cries, "OHH! IT'S FALLING!! I'LL STOP IT!!" but another voice says, "NO. LEAVE THIS TO ME!!!" The crew is finally coordinating, each person adding a piece to the attempt to bring the dragon down. Page 14: Kin'emon takes the opening. With Brook thrown aside and someone calling, "PLEASE, FOLLOW AFTER ME, SIR CORPSE!!!" Kin'emon faces the dragon's flame and declares, "FOX FIRE STYLE." The fire comes straight at him, but he cuts it apart with "BLAZE CLEAVER!" His sword slices through the burning attack, splitting it before it can engulf the area. The page emphasizes the special nature of Kin'emon's technique: he is not merely attacking the dragon, he is cutting fire itself. Against a creature spreading flames through a block full of tanks, that ability matters more than brute force. The others watch as the dragon's most dangerous weapon is neutralized. Page 15: The group reacts to Kin'emon's flame-cutting with shock. Zoro says, "HE CUT FIRE AGAIN." Brook calls it "FABULOUS!!" but Kin'emon replies, "NOTHING OF THE SORT." The dragon roars, "GUR RYYAH HHH..." and someone asks, "WHO ARE YOU CALLING A CORPSE!!" Brook answers, "HMM? OH, RIGHT, I'M A CORPSE." A note explains "Karyuu Issen" as a flaming willow flash and also a pun on a red-light district name. Kin'emon attacks with "KARYUU ISSEN!!!" and Brook follows with "GAVOTTE BOND EN AVANT!!" Their blades strike together, cutting into the dragon and stopping its charge. The comedy around Brook's corpse jokes does not undercut the effectiveness of the two swordsmen; together they finally bring the creature under control.
