## One Piece Chapter 870, pages 8-10: Parting - Chapter: 870 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Capone Bege, Caesar Clown, Judge, Sanji, Zeff, Luffy ### Summary Page 8: The escape plan sounds impossible because the plaza outside is full of armed Haki users. The warning comes fast: "THERE ARE TOO MANY ARMAMENT HAKI USERS OUT THERE!! THERE'S NO POINT EVEN IF I TURN INTO GAS!!!" and "WE'LL BE SHOT FULL OF HOLES INSTANTLY!!" The conclusion is grim: "THE CHANCE OF IT SUCCEEDING IS ZERO!!" In the middle of that crisis, Judge turns to Sanji and asks the question he cannot let go: "...ANSWER ONE THING FOR ME, SANJI." He asks, "...WHY DID YOU SAVE US." and frames it as an insult to both sides: "WE, WHOM YOU DETEST SO MUCH, FELL INTO THE ENEMY'S TRAP SO EASILY...!!" Sanji answers with restraint rather than affection: "...BECAUSE" and then, "MY FATHER WOULD'VE BEEN SADDENED..." He adds the condition behind that choice: "...IF I HELD ON TO THE HATRED FROM MY CHILDHOOD." Page 9: Sanji's answer reaches back to the day he escaped Germa. The memory of his younger self is full of pleas: "I'M SORRY FOR BEING BORN SO WEAK...!!" "PLEASE, LET ME OUT." "FATHER!! I'M SORRY...!!" and "SAVE ME!!! FATHER, SAVE ME!!! FAAATHER!!" Against that cruelty stands Zeff, who once sent him away with the simple care of "DON'T CATCH A COLD." Sanji says of that man, "...HE WOULD BE APPALLED." If Sanji became the kind of man who laughed at his own blood relatives' deaths, he says, "I REFUSE TO LIVE A LIFE... WHERE I... CANNOT FACE THAT PERSON." Judge recalls the official lie: "...13 YEARS AGO, THE VINSMOKE SANJI WHO ESCAPED FROM GERMA... DIED ON THE SEAS." Sanji states that this was also what Judge wanted: "THAT WAS ALSO WHAT YOU WISHED FOR." Page 10: Sanji tells Judge to accept the fiction he created: "...SO ACCEPT IT ALREADY!!!" The words Judge once used against him return with their full weight: "DO NOT EVER MENTION TO ANYONE... THAT I AM YOUR FATHER ...!! BECAUSE YOU ARE A 'STAIN'." Sanji drives the separation home while striking Judge across the face: "THE FACT THAT YOU ARE... NOT MY FATHER!!! VINSMOKE JUDGE!!!" Luffy stands beside Sanji and makes the boundary even sharper for the future: "NEVER SHOW YOUR FACE IN FRONT OF US AGAIN!!!" Judge, bloodied and silent, can only absorb the rejection. The page turns Sanji's rescue of Germa into a final severing rather than reconciliation: he saved them because of Zeff's values, not because Judge earned forgiveness.
