## One Piece Chapter 673, pages 8-10: Vergo and Joker - Chapter: 673 - Pages: 8-10 - Characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Smiley, Sanji, Brook, Kin'emon, Nami ### Summary Page 8: The slime's body changes into a monstrous animal shape. Someone cries, "WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS...?" as the mass reshapes itself. The narration identifies it as "Smiley, the master's pet," a gelatinous mass of poisonous gas that has eaten the Sala Sala no Mi, Model Axolotl. Luffy and Zoro try to make sense of the form. One says, "WHAT IS THAT SHAPE?! A FROG?!" and the other guesses, "MAYBE SOME KIND OF LIZARD?" Smiley is not just poison drifting over the island anymore; it is Caesar's living weapon, a Devil Fruit creature made from the deadly gas of the old accident. Page 9: Smiley grows heavier and more grotesque, roaring "BADOOOOHHHHHH!!" as pieces of itself swell and split away. Brook panics, "OH, DEAR ME!! IT'S SO BIIIIIGG!!!" The poisonous body begins launching globules around the lake, and the group has to scatter. Smiley's slime-clones hit the ground like living bombs while Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon dodge. The page turns Smiley's transformation into a tactical problem: every piece thrown from the main body can become another dangerous fragment, and the lake is no longer a place they can calmly cross. Page 10: Nami, in Sanji's body, yells, "RUN FOR IT!!!" as Smiley's fragments rain down. Sanji is struck and screams, "AAARGHHHHH!!!" while a slime mass sticks to him with a sickening "NGUHHH!!" Brook realizes the danger: "CAN IT JUST CREATE AS MANY COPIES OF ITSELF AS IT PLEASES...?!" Sanji feels the main slime getting smaller each time it throws more of itself, and Nami understands the implication: "THEN EVENTUALLY THERE WON'T BE ANYTHING LEFT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE LAKE...?!" The escape route is closing because Smiley is literally crossing the lake bit by bit.
