## One Piece Chapter 685, pages 3-5: Mine Name Is Momonosuke, That It Is! - Chapter: 685 - Pages: 3-5 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Momonosuke, Caesar Clown's Children, Caesar Clown, Caesar Clown's Subordinates ### Summary Page 3: Luffy notices that Momonosuke sounds hungry too and introduces himself in the only way he considers proper: "I'M LUFFY!! THE MAN WHO'LL BECOME KING OF THE PIRATES!!" Momonosuke is startled by the word pirate. He tries to maintain his dignity, asking, "But who art thou, and why hast thou come here..." and then snapping, "Do not speak so foolishly... A samurai does not starve after a mere ten days... To suggest that I would hunger haa... haa..." Luffy repeats the number in shock: "Ten days!?" Momonosuke's body betrays him as he pants, drools, and imagines food, but his pride stays intact. He says of pirates, "Pirates are men of great girth, full of rage and untold strength," turning Luffy into an enemy in his mind before knowing him. Luffy, unimpressed, says, "Whatever you say, eel. Now how do we..." Momonosuke cuts him off again: "I am Momonosuke, that I am!!" The exchange shows both his samurai pride and his fear of pirates, while Luffy keeps trying to move the conversation toward escape. Page 4: Momonosuke begins explaining how little he understands about the laboratory. He says, "That place holds sickly children is all I know. I know of neither the nature of this island nor of what has befallen me." His memory returns to the beginning: "As fate would have it this began when I stowed away aboard a certain ship." In the flashback, the children in the facility try to be kind to him. They offer food and ask, "Want some food? Don't you want to eat?" Momonosuke refuses with stubborn formality: "A samurai dost not accept alms from strangers!!" Yet the longer he stays, the more exhausted and hungry he becomes. Another child later brings food and says, "I've got your food here." Another tries to comfort him: "Why doncha eat something? We've all been separated from our parents, so we're in this together..." Momonosuke cannot bear the pity or the imprisonment, and he thinks, "Can not one of thee understand my wishes!" The page makes his situation more tragic: he is not merely lost, but a proud child trapped among other abducted children, too ashamed and frightened to accept help. Page 5: The flashback shifts to the children's arrival under Caesar. Caesar welcomes them with false warmth, declaring, "I am Master Caesar! Please, come on in!! From now on, you can all play here! Shurororororo." The children treat Momonosuke like another newcomer. One asks, "What's your name?" but he shouts, "I HAVE NO NAME!!" They keep trying to share sweets: "Here you go." "We've got sweets." Momonosuke refuses again, "I need no such thing!!" but hunger and temptation begin to break through, especially when he notices, "And candy..." Later, he slips away. Guards realize something is wrong and ask, "Hey, did one of those brats run away...!?" Another answers, "Yeah, but we're not missing anyone, according to the ship's registry. Weird." Because Momonosuke was a stowaway, the staff do not even know to count him. That accident gives him the chance to move through the facility unseen, though he is panting, weak, and still searching for a way out.
