Chapter 666

The Yeti Cool Brothers radio Caesar to claim they have finished off Nami, Zoro, and Brook, requesting pickup. Monet marvels that pirates so heavily covered in the press fell so easily, noting Law had crossed paths with them before. Suspicious, Caesar levels a gun at Law and demands to know whether he summoned the Straw Hats. Law denies it flatly, pointing out that the island being exposed would ruin his own plans just as much.

A flashback shows Law's first arrival, when he asked only for free run of the island, mutual privacy, and absolute secrecy even from Caesar's employer Joker. Monet, then still possessing ordinary human limbs, asked him to heal the gas-paralyzed prisoners. In the present, an explosion rocks the ruined lab where Chopper and Nami shelter the children. Brownbeard, briefly hopeful for rescue, realizes the attackers are the assassins. Scotch appears, plays a recording of Caesar branding Brownbeard a useless idiot marked for death, and shoots him down as he reels from his idol's betrayal.

Luffy returns furious and lunges with a flying kick, but the brothers vanish before vanishing again with Nami in hand. Only Franky's body was ordered taken alive, since it carries one of Vegapunk's lasers. Meanwhile Law walks out the rear of the facility, brushing off a guard's warning about the marines and cutting the man down before leaving. The cover story reveals Bentham, having survived his clash with Magellan, now reigning as the new queen of Newkama Land.
