## One Piece Chapter 698, pages 11-12: Doflamingo Appears - Chapter: 698 - Pages: 11-12 - Characters: Trafalgar Law, Monkey D. Luffy, Usopp, Tony Tony Chopper, Nami, Brook, Caesar Clown, Sanji ### Summary Page 11: Law states the reason for the alliance plainly as the Sunny races onward: "WE'RE IN AN ALLIANCE IN ORDER TO BRING DOWN A YONKOU!!" Luffy grins and reduces the danger to excitement: "A YONKOU, HUH! SOUNDS GOOD." Usopp reacts the opposite way: "NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT!!" Chopper tries to keep everyone from spiraling: "HOLD ON NOW!! EVERYONE JUST CALM DOWN." He asks Luffy, "LUFFY! DID YOU REALLY JUST GO AHEAD AND ALLY YOURSELF WITH SOME MYSTERIOUS GUYS?" Luffy answers cheerfully, "YUP! WE'RE IN ALLIANCE NOW!" and then tries to make it even friendlier: "OUR CREW AND TORA-MAN'S!! SO LET'S ALL BE FRIENDS!! SHISHISHI!!" Law sits silently beside him, visibly less amused. Nami warns him, "I'M WARNING YOU NOW. YOUR IDEA OF AN 'ALLIANCE' AND LUFFY'S VERSION ARE PROBABLY A BIT DIFFERENT. SO BE CAREFUL." Brook raises a formal objection: "ONE MEMBER IS OPPOSED TO THIS MOTION!!" but Luffy has already decided, and the crew understands that the decision is functionally settled. Page 12: Law begins explaining the chain of events that led to the current plan. Caesar, still furious and terrified, reminds everyone of his warning: "...SHURORORO. DON'T THINK YOU ALL ARE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH WHAT YOU'VE DONE...!!" He adds, "YOU'LL HAVE SOME REAL BIG PLAYERS AFTER YOU NOW, YOU FOOLS!!" Law explains why Luffy was suddenly accused of kidnapping: "SO THAT'S WHY LUFFY WAS GOING ON AND ON ABOUT 'KIDNAPPING'..." and Sanji realizes Caesar had tried to manipulate them: "BECAUSE IF YOU WERE ABOUT TO TELL ME TO COOK UP THIS WEIRD SHEEP THAT YOU'VE CAUGHT EVEN I MIGHT HAVE TAKEN ISSUE..." Caesar snaps, "AND YOU WILL DIE!!" and warns, "YOU WILL COME TO UNDERSTAND HOW STUPID YOU'VE BEEN...!!" Law ignores the panic and points to the core of the Punk Hazard operation: "ON PUNK HAZARD, I ASKED YOU TO KIDNAP CAESAR. AND I DESTROYED THE EQUIPMENT USED TO PRODUCE THE CHEMICAL KNOWN AS S.A.D."
