## One Piece Chapter 683, pages 2-4: A Woman Like Ice - Chapter: 683 - Pages: 2-4 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Monet, Caesar Clown ### Summary Page 2: The scene shifts to C-Block, fourth floor, Caesar's research room, where Luffy is still blocked by Monet. Luffy shouts, "OI!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BIRD-LADY!!!" Monet answers with a cold laugh, "UFUFU," and throws up a huge layered snow dome around him. The attack is named "KAMAKURA JYUUSASHI!!!!" with a note explaining it literally as "ten bound books Kamakura," essentially "ten layer Kamakura." Monet says, "HOW'S THIS? I STACKED TOGETHER TEN LAYERS OF 'KAMAKURA.' THEY WON'T BE BROKEN THROUGH QUICKLY." Luffy complains, "SO YOU'RE JUST BUYING TIME!? I'LL BREAK THIS SORT OF THING IN A SNAP!!" Monet tells him, "STOP DOING POINTLESS THINGS!!!" She is not trying to defeat him with raw force yet; she is trying to delay him long enough for Caesar to escape. Page 3: Luffy glares at Monet and says, "I FEEL LIKE THERE'S NO WAY I COULD LOSE TO YOU!!!" Monet smiles back without denying it. "TRUE. I DON'T THINK I COULD WIN AGAINST YOU, EITHER. BUT WINS AND LOSSES ARE NOT DETERMINED PURELY BY FIGHTING STRENGTH, RIGHT?" Luffy reacts, "!?" and then Monet surges around him in a mass of feathers and snow. The cold wraps his body as he shouts, "UU" and "UWAH! CHILLY!!" He snaps, "YOU'RE LIKE ICE!! YOU... GET OFF...!!" but Monet clings to him and says, "I WON'T GET OFF YOU. FEEL MY EMBRACE... AND, WELL... YOUR POWER IS ALREADY SLIPPING AWAY FROM YOU." She explains the danger of her body directly: "YOUR PHYSICAL ENERGY WILL BE STOLEN AWAY IN AN INSTANT BY THIS COLD BODY OF MINE." Monet's confidence comes not from overpowering Luffy, but from making him unable to move or stay conscious. Page 4: Monet deepens the trap. She says, "LOOK... WE'RE ALREADY SURROUNDED BY DEEP SNOW..." and then adds, "IT FEELS GOOD, DOESN'T IT? NOW JUST CLOSE YOUR EYES." As Luffy's face contorts, she continues, "I EXPECT THAT YOU'RE GETTING UNBEARABLY SLEEPY... AND PEACEFULLY DRIFT OFF..." Luffy resists, shouting, "GOMU GOMU NO!!!" and drives a huge foot downward with "JET SPEAR!!!" The attack smashes through the snow prison with a tremendous impact, scattering debris and forcing Monet to react. Luffy's counter is not elegant; it is a desperate burst of strength against cold, sleep, and suffocation. The snow dome collapses under him, but the page makes clear that Monet has already dragged him into a very dangerous disadvantage.
