## One Piece Chapter 697, pages 0-1: Dealings - Chapter: 697 - Pages: 0-1 - Characters: Caribou, Trafalgar Law, Monkey D. Luffy, Kaido, Whitebeard ### Summary Page 0: The chapter opens on the title page: "CHAPTER 697 - DEALINGS." In the cover story, "CARIBOU'S KEHIHIHIHI IN THE NEW WORLD - VOLUME 19 - GRANNY DRIVES AWAY THE MYSTERIOUS SOLDIERS," Caribou stands stunned with food in his hands while the old woman charges at the mysterious soldiers and drives them off through the smoke and falling debris. It is not part of the immediate Punk Hazard plot, but it continues Caribou's side story and keeps the New World cover-serial thread alive. Page 1: Law's proposal lands harder than a normal alliance ever could. When he hears Luffy speak as if every Emperor is a target, Law stares him down and says, "YOU'LL TAKE DOWN ALL THE YONKOU!?" He warns that their goal may point in the same direction, but Luffy is badly underestimating the scale of it: "WE'RE AFTER THE SAME THING, BUT I THINK YOU'RE UNDERESTIMATING THEM." Law explains that the Yonko are the emperors who once fought territorial wars with Whitebeard himself. Among them is Kaidou: "AND THE ONE KNOWN AS KAIDOU OF THE HUNDRED BEASTS... IS SAID TO BE THE STRONGEST CREATURE IN THE WORLD." The room erupts in alarm: "EH!? WHAT! HE'S NOT EVEN HUMAN!?" Law sets the term plainly: "OUR ALLIANCE WILL LAST UNTIL WE TAKE DOWN KAIDOU." Then comes the brutal estimate, "THE CHANCE OF MY PLAN SUCCEEDING IS... WELL... ABOUT 30%..." The others immediately panic at the low odds: "THAT'S WAY TOO LOW!! WHAT A TERRIBLE PROPOSITION!! COME ON, LUFFY!!"
