Chapter 676, titled "The Perfect Weapon of Mass Murder", shows Smiley dying as it converts into Shinokuni, a hardening poison gas that engulfs the island. As Caesar's men are entombed in ash, Law convinces Luffy to push ahead with their counterattack.
Summary
With the giant candy consumed, Caesar calls for Smiley to be reborn. The slime erupts into a high pressure cloud of poison that sweeps across the frozen ground. Anyone the gas touches is sealed inside a stony shell, frozen mid-stride, and Caesar coldly celebrates as his own subordinates are caught one after another. Smoker, the captive Straw Hats, and the underworld buyers watch the slaughter in horror.
Zoro, Sanji, Brook, and Kin'emon barely outpace the spreading death, spotting Vegapunk's loose dragon ahead and wondering if they can ride it to safety. From his cage, Luffy strains to warn his crew, but the seastone smothers his voice. Caesar then swings the prisoners' cage outside, declaring nowhere on the island will remain survivable.
Key Events
As Smiley perishes, its Devil Fruit power regenerates inside a nearby apple, marking the first time the series depicts a fruit reviving after its host dies. Chopper, hidden near a doorway and agonizing over the dangling cage, is struck by a crumpled note reading "do not do anything" and puzzles over who threw it. Law tells Luffy that Vergo's presence changes nothing: they will execute the original plan correctly this time and strike back.
Notes
The chapter unveils the full effect of Shinokuni, the gas hardening on contact and instantly numbing its victims. Three more broker silhouettes appear among the audience, and Rob Lucci can be spotted among them. The color spread cover shows the Straw Hats riding inside giant teacups over a city, captioned about how brazen their wrongdoing is. Franky and Robin note the wrecked lab would make fine salvage material as the team commits to fighting.
