Chapter 669: The Strategy Commences

[Waboshi]

But what was that thing about Smokers heart then? Tashigi can use Smokers ability so why did Law take Smokers heart?

Because Tashigi can't use it worth a damn.

[Igosuki]

Anyone else expecting a King Haki blast next chapter ?

[tzitzifiogkos]

nice chapter
Luffy being reckless as always.Can't wait for the next :p

[Kingdomkey]

Alright chapter, the best part was the Sanji/Samurai interaction.

So looks like its gonna be Zoro, Namji and Brooke vs. the Slime and Luffy and the others vs. the marines and caesar

[TheCook]

I am not sure why I find it so appealing to see Nami smoking.

[dwo]

Great chapter. Last page was very fun.

Law weakness is ... what? ;) Makes me very curious. Warp is a bit overdone. How? And how can he see Luffy when he is at the backside of the building?

[omy785]

With the "excuse" of the switching bodies, Oda's been able to put two smoking girls in one chapter...with that "bad girl" look, Nami and Tashigi have gained many fans...

Dat chest, and dat ass

-Law being mysterious again, I think Ceasar has his crew, personally.

we've already seen the first time law and CC met,and it's law that ask CC to stay on the island..if CC had his crew,he wouldn't have allowed Law to stay on the island..and it's not like it's a secret that he is/was the captain of the hearts pirates

[D Vance]

Oh Lord! The hax keep growing.

[AkumaMiltos]

Decent chapter,we finally see Zoro and the others.Seems that action is starting in the next chapters..Can't wait!

[CCC]

mangarule version should be out relatively soon. in the meantime...

Chapter 669: The Strategy Commences
Cover Page: “Vivi cares for a frog who’s caught a cold while Luffy and Carue play in the rain”

Page 1:
Upper right panel: “Zoro and co. are… alright?”
Zoro: “Haa… haa…”
“It must have been when we fell… seems like I hit my head.”
Brook: “Oh, the same thing happened to me. My head hurts…”
Sanji: “Haa…”
“We’ve lost a lot of time. I wonder if that samurai is alright.”
Zoro: “Well you did get sidetracked.”
Sanji: “We all did!”
Brook: “And in the end we still haven’t found him…”
Brook: “But I haven’t forgotten what I saw at that moment.”
Zoro: “Don’t get all misty-eyed. Didn’t you say it was an enemy attack?”
Brook: “I said no such thing.”
Zoro: “I’m in the “disbeliever” camp!!”
Sanji: “Well I’m in the “believer” one!!!”
Brook: “I’m… ! I’m in the camp that wants nothing more than to have this debate forever…”
Zoro: “!!”
“Ohh… that was kind of moving actually. You’re pretty adult-like about this…”
Brook: “That because I’m so old that I’m dead!!”
Sanji: “I’m in the camp that doesn’t recognize flip-floppers!”
Zoro: “!?”
Page 2:
Text box: “One hour earlier”
Someone: “Hey, samurai!!”
“Where’d you go!!?”
“Samurai!!”
Brook: “Whaaaa!!? Please look at this, you two!! Look!!”
Brook: “This… could it be? Footprints from the legendary abominable snowman!!?”
Zoro and Sanji: “Hey now, don’t be stupid…”
Someone: “Whoa!!! He’s right!!! Mysterious footprints on a snowy mountain”
Someone: “Aren’t they huge!!? I can hardly believe it!!”
“And they’re still fresh!!!”
Someone: “Whoever left these is definitely still around here…”
All: “This is the spirit of romance!!”
Page 3:
Someone: “Hmm? They’ve stopped?”
Someone: “Ah!!! Behind us!! Something huge!!!”
Someone: “There’s no way… could it be…!!?”
“The abominable snowm-“
All: “Uwahh!!”
Zoro: “Uhhh…? Wh…what’s this…? Gas!?”
Sanji: “All of a shudden… I’m shlurring… sho shleepy…”
“Ish like I’m drunnnk…”
Brook: “Ish… ish an attack!?”
Page 4:
Lock: “No matter how well you can hold your liquor, take a hit from a KYP gas shell,”
“And you’ll be overcome by a sudden feeling of drunkenness and fatigue!!”
“And at the bottom of this cliff…”
“Sector F16”
Scotch: “You won’t avoid the “Icicle Pincushion”!!”
Lock: “First, these three…!!!”
All: “Ahhh!!”
Zoro: “P… pincushion!?”
“Hey, you guys!!”
Sanji and Brook: “*snore*”
Zoro: “Uhh….!!”
“HIYAH!!!”
Zoro: “Haa… ahhh…. that was dangerrro…“
Page 5:
Underling: “We’re in sector F16.”
“As reported, we’ve found three of the Strawhat crew members.”
“We’ll be collecting their corpses now!!”
Underling: “Eh!”
Sanji: “Who’re you calling a corpse?”
Underling: “What! They’re alive!”
“But if it’s just this one woman against all of us…”
Sanji: “You grunts are going down no matter how many of you there are!!!”
Underling: “Buwahh!!!”
Page 6:
Sanji: “Haa… haa…”
“I’ve got to be careful…”
“Haa…”
“At any rate, this is Nami’s frail body…”
“I can’t let it get bruised.”
Sanji: “Sorry, Nami… I just need this one…!
“Moving on…”
Sanji: “Wake up you idiots!!”
Zoro and Brook: “Gyahhh!!”
Zoro: “…..?”
Sanji: “Anyway, no more time for romance!! The samurai… maybe he’s in this area!?”
Brook: “I told him that before we reached the lake,”
Sanji: “Haa…”
Brook: “Haa…”
“…the ‘torso person’ ended up going astray.”
Brook: “So he was going to come here to look around for it…!!”
Someone: “Heyyyy! Samurai!!”
“Show yourself, samurai!!”
“Or did someone already kill you!?”
Page 7:
Sanji: “Are you here!? Are you alright!? Samurai!!”
Brook: “Mr. Samurai!!”
Zoro: “Maybe he already found his trunk and went off looking for that son of his…”
“Hmm?”
Zoro: “Oh!!? This is him, isn’t it!!!”
Brook: “Ehh!!?”
Zoro: “What the hell!! He’s all frozen!!”
Sanji: “One, two, and…!”
Sound effect: “*crack*”
Samurai: “*gasp*!!! *cough cough*”
“*cough*!! *sputter*!!”
“Haa”
“Haa”
Sanji: “Hey, hey, are you okay?”
“Did someone do this to you?”
Page 8:
Kinemon: “Oh… ohhh!!”
“Haa”
“For some reason, I hardened up and was dying, that I was!”
Sanji: “You were on the verge of death because you froze in this blizzard!!”
Kinemon: “Haa… no… that’s incorrect! I… I’m not cold, that I’m not!!”
Sanji: “Stop being so obstinate!!”
Kinemon: “A warrior does not yield to cold…”
Zoro: “What a pain… this guy…”
Sanji: “Make some clothes. You have the ability to do that, don’t you?”
Kinemon: “…The truth is that I, possessing that black magic, have in me a weakness.”
“My body is not one that you could say is particularly good at swimming.”

Sanji: “Of course you sink like a hammer!! Everyone knows that!!!
Kinemon: “In short, my humble torso has somehow”
“Ended up submerged in water, that it has…!!”
Everyone: “Water!?”
Kinemon: “It definitely feels like my upper half is underwater…”
Page 9:
Sanji: “…I see. So you became immobile and froze in this very spot.”
“And if your body is underwater, then you can’t use your ability, either.”
Zoro: “If it’s water… Brook- maybe he fell in that lake you were talking about!!”
Brook: “Probably. And I heard that that lake is actually filled with seawater.”
Zoro: “Well if this piece of him is still alive then I guess the other hasn’t been eaten by those sharks…!!”
“We don’t know what else could be living in that lake. It’d be best to get him out quickly.”
Brook: “Ehh! Let’s hurry!!”
Kinemon: “If you could… just… search the lake… in my stead…”
Sanji: “We get it!! You can’t swim, you bungling samurai!!”
Kinemon: “You’re pirates, aren’t you? For me, a complete stranger…!!”
“Why would you go so far!!!”
Sanji: “Like I said”
“It’s my responsibility…!!! But in exchange”
“When we’ve got your body all sorted out, we’re having a duel!! I’m going to beat the shit out of you!!!”
Page 10:
Kinemon: “I…!! I consent… I will fight you, that I will!!”
Kinemon: “….!!!”
“I’m indebted to you!!!”
Sanji: “Oh, so you’re able to be grateful all of a sudden?”
“I guess getting frozen will do that to a person.”
Someone: “!?”
Zoro: “What’s that!?”
Brook: “Dear me! What could that be!?”
“Could it be those men whose we ransacked?”
“It’s Brownbeard-san’s subordina-taurs!
Centaur: “Don’t lose it now!! We’ve got to run!!”
“We’ve gotta get away from the lake!!!”
“A “monster” appeared on the opposite shore!!”
“We have to report back to Master! Was that thing always on the island up until now!!?”
Zoro: “?”
“Aren’t you guys also “monsters”…”
Page 11:
Centaurs: “Wahh!! It’s them!! That thieving pirate crew!!?”
“Dammit those are our coats!!!”
Zoro: “…”
Centaur: “Nevermind that, just run!! We’ve got to get to the lab!!”
“And they also got the boss…!!”
Sanji: “What exactly did you do…”
Zoro: “Hmm…? Hey, Brook… the direction they were coming from, that’s where that lake is, right?”
Brook: “Ehh!? That’s right. You’re absolutely correct. That’s amazing, Zoro san!!!”
“…But, what about it?”
Zoro: “Well, I don’t seem to remember”
“There being a mountain there before…”
Page 12:
Caesar: “Shurorororo…”
“The slime…”
“The weapon that was accidentally released upon this island four years ago…”
“Was that very creature!!!”
Caesar: “Shurororo… Do they think I cleaned up the gas on the island back then!!?”
“Wrong!!! …!!”
Monet: “….”
“Who could possibly be so wasteful…!! I compressed the gas, and it became a “monster”!!!”
Caesar: “And that’s what that thing is…!!!”
“It once enshrouded this island, turning it into an unlivable “World of Death””
“They soon forgot about the disaster, but… It’s not like I got rid of it!! It’s always been at my disposal!!”
Page 13:
Text box: “Front entrance to Caesar’s Laboratory”
Underling: “They stole a ship!!”
“Someone stop them!!!”
Tashigi: “Kyaahh!!”
“S- Smoker san, tell me how to change back!!”
Smoker: “What a nuisance! Pull yourself together, Tashigi!!”
Smoker: “Isn’t the gate open yet!!?”
Marine: “The enemy is inside the lab!!”
“It doesn’t matter what we do out here!!!”
“The gate won’t budge!!!”
Smoker: “What a shame… If I only had my body”
“And at a time when there doesn’t seem to be a way to break in…”
Page 14:
Text Box: “Caesar’s Laboratory: Rear Entrance”
Chopper: “Your power is really convenient, huh!! Did we warp just now!?”
Law: “Shut up and get in the bag.”
“We’re already at the back of the lab.”
“I expect that Caesar and a certain woman are inside the main research room.”
Law: “I’ll get those two out of the room, somehow”
“And in the meantime, you can study those drugs.”
Chopper: “But if you can meet up with the Master so easily…”
“You’re so strong… couldn’t you just capture him yourself?”
“If you did that, then I could take my time with the drugs.”
Law: “Well, the problem isn’t that… No, I can’t do that. For that, I need your crew’s help.”
Chopper: “?”
Law: “It’d be great if they could just come and take care of him quickly for me.”
“Then I would play my part.”
Someone: “Uwahhh!!!”
Law: “!?”
Page 15:
Someone: “Hey! Look over there!!”
“Something’s flying towards us!!”
“It’s a giant bomb!!!”
“Hmm?”
“No, wait…”
“DON!”
Bubble to left of the don: “*flap*”
Bubble underneath the don: “…Wing!!”
Bubble at the bottom: “Wahh!”
All the way on the left: “Gyaa!!”
Underling: “Eh? Ehhh? Is it human!?”
Franky: “Uwahh!! Shit!!!”
Underling: “!?”
“Ah”
Page 16:
Luffy: “Get out here, Master!!!”
Franky: “Gahahaha that was a nice shortcut”
Luffy: “We’re here to beat you up and kidnap you!!!!”
Robin: “Keep that to yourself, now, Luffy.”
Little editor’s note on the left: “Always so rash, this guy!!”
Law: “…!! That idiot!! Who told him to go pick a fight with everyone on the island!!?”
Smoker: “ “Strawhat” ”
Underlings: “It’s the “Strawhat crew”!!!”

[Kishido]

Thanks CCC.

Sanji finally being awesome again. i love his interaction with samurai... but I would lol if both of them will really fight xD

[Papi Jota]

Taking bets now: CC will be on the verge of being defeated/captured, and, combine with the Slime.

I like where your head is at.

He's not going to be a match without being able to absorb that condensed gas. Ultimately, Luffy will beat him regardless since he's built up a resistance to poisons. Duh!

I hope Zoro pulls off a great feat here as well.

[GoustiFruit]

There is clearly something mysterious about Zoro now... How come did he arrive first at Shabondi and now give the correct direction for the lake ???
I hope this is something funny when we'll discover it, like he his drawing plans on his palm or he spent the 2 years learning how not to get lost instead of training

[Blowfish]

The parallels with Whitebeard keep coming ,Law is so powerful....is it safe to say he has the most "useful" Df in OP?

I wonder why Oda keeps adding to Law's ability? It makes me wonder when it will end.

Perona brought him to Sabaody

Well, he just kind of showed up one day there, so I guess Law's motives lie somewhere else.. maybe something to do with the guy who resembled Ceasar he mentioned?
Dunno, everything we know about him is too vague for now.
