## One Piece Chapter 689, pages 2-3: An Island That Seems Not to Exist - Chapter: 689 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Brownbeard, Caesar Clown, Caesar Clown's Subordinates ### Summary Page 2: At R-Block's first floor, in front of the R-66 gate, Brownbeard reaches the sealed entrance while a monitor and intercom chatter nearby. He yells, "CAESAR!!" Caesar answers coldly through the screen, "WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA HERE, MY MOST EXCELLENT SUBORDINATE, BROWN-BEARD!! YOU'RE BEING QUITE INSISTENT!!" Brownbeard demands, "GIVE ME BACK MY MEN!! WE WERE ROBBED BACK THERE, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ISLAND, BUT..." Caesar brushes him off: "IT'S NOT AS IF THEY DIED!! THEY SHOULD HAVE COME BACK A WHILE AGO!!" The page shows Brownbeard standing wounded but furious before the massive R-66 door. He is no longer acting like a loyal underling begging for orders; he has come to confront the master who abandoned his people. Page 3: Brownbeard's men report that they cannot get inside. One says, "MASTER--!! THE FRONT ENTRANCE IS SWARMING WITH MARINES AND THE GATE IS CLOSED..." Another adds, "HAA... HAA... WE CAN'T GET INSIDE!! TELL US WHAT WE SHOULD DO...!!" Caesar mutters, "WHAT'S WRONG? ...OH, BROWNBEARD'S MEN?" and then dismisses them entirely. When asked, "MASTER, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THEM INSIDE?" Caesar says, "FORGET ABOUT THEM. THE ISLAND IS GOING TO BE COVERED WITH SHINOKUNI BEFORE LONG, ANYWAY." The words devastate Brownbeard. Caesar continues with casual indifference: "GOOD GRACIOUS, I WONDER WHAT COULD BE WRONG. I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM THEM. ACTUALLY, I WAS ALSO JUST STARTING TO WORRY...!!" The page exposes Caesar's cruelty in real time. His subordinates are pleading for help, and he treats their deaths as an inconvenience already accounted for.
