## One Piece Chapter 696, pages 2-3: Common Interest - Chapter: 696 - Pages: 2-3 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Brownbeard, Caesar Clown, G-5 Marines, Straw Hat Pirates, Kin'emon, Trafalgar Law ### Summary Page 2: Luffy talks to Brownbeard, who has chosen arrest after everything Caesar did. Luffy asks, "SO YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED, BROWNBEARD?" Brownbeard answers sadly, "THAT'S TOO BAD, HUH. AND RIGHT AFTER WE BECAME FRIENDS... UOHOHO IT SEEMS THAT WE'VE STILL GOT A BIT OF POISON IN OUR BODIES, FROM THOSE EXPERIMENTS..." The G-5 Marines say they can receive treatment if they turn themselves in, but the Straw Hats object: "WHOA WHOA, STRAWHAT!! DIDN'T WE JUST SAY NOT TO COME OVER HERE!!?" and, "WHO CARES. YOU GUYS JUST WENT AND DECIDED THAT ON YOUR OWN!!" Brownbeard explains his decision clearly: "RATHER THAN BEING USED BY TRASH LIKE CAESAR, GOING TO PRISON SEEMS LIKE THE BETTER OPTION." He thanks Luffy: "THAT BLOW YOU DEALT TO CAESAR WAS REALLY SATISFYING. THANKS FOR THAT... AND ALL MY FRIENDS ARE GONE, AS WELL...!!" Brownbeard has lost his crew and his faith in Caesar, but he still leaves with enough dignity to choose his own punishment. Page 3: The calm breaks when Kin'emon is noticed among the debris. Someone screams, "HE'S KILLED THEM!!!" and another cries, "GYAHHHH!!" while panicked survivors see Kin'emon's separated body parts and assume the worst. A voice yells, "WHAT'S WITH ALL THE RACKET!!!" and another warns Luffy, "LUFFY, YOU'VE GOT TO STOP HIM!!!" Someone blames Law: "IF WE WERE GONNA USE THIS TANKER, YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME FROM THE START!! I WOULDN'T HAVE FOUGHT HERE IF I'D KNOWN I'D HAVE TO BE REPAIRED." The chaos makes it look as if Law has murdered or mutilated Kin'emon, and the frightened crowd cannot tell the difference between a fatal injury and Law's surgical Devil Fruit ability.
