## One Piece Chapter 673, pages 15-16: Vergo and Joker - Chapter: 673 - Pages: 15-16 - Characters: Vergo, Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar Law, Smoker, Tashigi, Nico Robin, Roronoa Zoro, Caesar Clown, Joker ### Summary Page 15: Vergo silently considers the risk to his own Marines, but his answer remains "TRUE... TRUE ENOUGH... STILL..." He looks toward the cage holding the prisoners and admits, "IT'S QUITE A SIGHT TO SEE... SUCH AN ASSORTMENT OF FACES RESTRAINED IN A SINGLE CAGE. I RATHER ENJOY IT." Inside are Luffy, Law, Smoker, Tashigi, Robin, and others bound and helpless. Luffy recognizes the situation and says, "THIS TAKES ME BACK A LITTLE, ACTUALLY... BEING IN A CAGE WITH ALL OF YOU... OH, YEAH, IT'S LIKE THAT TIME WHEN YOU GUYS CAPTURED ME AND SMOKEY BACK IN ALABASTA!" Zoro, still outside the cage, snaps, "BE QUIET, YOU!!!" Smoker, trapped in Tashigi's body, admits, "SMOKER-SAN, I... I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THIS FEELING...!!" Robin tells the group, "IT LOOKS LIKE YOUR PREDICTION CAME TRUE IN THE WORST POSSIBLE WAY." Page 16: Robin explains the truth behind the missing children. "IN OTHER WORDS... THE KIDNAPPING INCIDENT IN WHICH CAESAR ABDUCTED THOSE CHILDREN... WAS COVERED UP AS AN 'ACCIDENT AT SEA' BY NONE OTHER THAN THIS MAN." She says that in G-5 she expected a little corruption, but this is "AN UTTER DISGRACE FOR THE MILITARY." Law tells them not to blame themselves for missing it: "IT'S NOT AS THOUGH VERGO SIMPLY BETRAYED THE MILITARY." He reveals that Vergo was a pirate from the start, before he ever made a name for himself, and that he entered the Marines under Joker's orders. He spent fifteen years working up from the bottom, and Law states the conclusion plainly: "VERGO WAS A MEMBER OF JOKER'S CREW FROM THE VERY BEGINNING...!!!"
