## One Piece Chapter 681, pages 12-14: Luffy vs Master - Chapter: 681 - Pages: 12-14 - Characters: Monet, Caesar Clown, Monkey D. Luffy, Donquixote Doflamingo, Sanji, Vergo, G-5 Marines, Nico Robin ### Summary Page 12: Monet spreads her wings and blocks Luffy directly. She tells Caesar, "I'LL BE SEEING YOU, STRAWHAT...!! GO AHEAD AND RAMPAGE TO YOUR HEART'S CONTENT!!" and Caesar flees with delight: "SHURORORORORO!!! I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT!!" He adds, "I'VE ALREADY THOUGHT UP A WAY TO TURN YOU ALL INTO BODIES FOR MY EXPERIMENTS!!" Luffy shouts, "WAIT!!" and tries to pursue him, but Monet stops him, declaring, "I WON'T LET YOU GO AFTER HIM!!" Her reason is absolute loyalty and fear: "IF SOMETHING WERE TO HAPPEN TO MASTER... I WOULD BE ELIMINATED BY JOKER." Luffy remembers her from the war and says, "THAT BIRD-MAN I SAW IN THE WAR!!! WHAT'S HIS DEAL!!!" Monet's intervention ties Caesar's survival to Joker's larger shadow. Page 13: Back in the connecting passage between A and B-Blocks, the alarm returns. Sanji and Vergo face each other while the gate ahead begins closing: "BEEP" "BEEP." The G-5 Marines shout, "IT'S THAT BUZZER AGAIN!! THE GATE AHEAD OF US IS CLOSING!!" and "WE'VE GOT TO RUN!! HURRY UP!!!" Yet they are also amazed by Sanji's intervention. "THAT GUY...!? HE'S FIGHTING THE FAKE VERGO FOR US!!" one says. Another recognizes him: "'BLACK LEG' OF THE STRAWHAT PIRATE CREW!!" and asks, "WHY DID HE SAVE US!? SHOULD WE BACK HIM UP...?" Sanji responds with action rather than explanation, launching "FLANGE STRIKE '11'!" and driving a flaming kick into Vergo. The page places Sanji's duel against the same timer as everyone else: fight, flee, or be sealed with the gas. Page 14: Sanji yells at the Marines, "WHAT ARE YOU PEOPLE DOING!!! HURRY THE HELL UP AND GET OUT OF HERE!!" Vergo stands firm after the blow, and the G-5 soldiers are stunned: "UOHH!! STR... STRONG!!" Robin notices the larger danger: "I THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO LOCK US IN WITH THE GAS AGAIN!!!" Sanji looks over and says, "HEY, LOOK!!" The other gate opens with a hiss, "SFFFF," and panic spreads through the passage. "WAHH!! THIS IS BAD!!" someone shouts. Another cries, "THE OTHER GATE IS OPENING!" and the warning is clear: "THE DEADLY GAS IS COMING! RUN!!!" The toxic cloud begins pouring toward them again, while Vergo and Sanji remain in the center of the danger. Caesar's plan is repeating the previous trap, this time with Sanji, Vergo, and G-5 caught in the passage.
