One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 1082: Battle of the Mother Fire (VIII)
"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock."

The mechanical hands were constantly moving. At this moment, CP0 was looking at Vegapunk in the glass cover opposite him. He had confirmed one thing, that is, the guy in front of him had indeed betrayed him, but he couldn't do anything about him now. He couldn't even break that damn glass!

As time passed, CP0's patience finally ran out. He decided to leave here and report everything, but just as he turned around and was about to go out.

"boom!"

The door of the room was hit hard, and the door, which was so heavy that it was unimaginable, was actually deformed.

"what?"

The usually cold CP0 now had a look of confusion on his face. After all, the gate in front of him made his attacks ineffective, but what exactly was this strange power that suddenly appeared?
"boom!"

There was another loud bang, and this time the impact effect was even better. Several screws on the door were deformed and flew out directly, turning into bullets with terrifying lethality that flew all over the room. However, CP0 didn't care about these. At this moment, he was staring at the door in front of him. He saw something from the gap exposed by the deformation of the door.

"snake?"

"boom!"

CP0 just let out a doubtful sound when the next moment, there was another fierce collision. The door finally couldn't hold on and smashed down like a collapsing mountain, with the top landing just two steps in front of CP0.

"Ahem, you bastard! I told you! I know the password!"

A female voice came from the dust, with a hint of anger and helplessness.

"We don't have the time. Besides, the gate's recognition system has been broken since my first attack. So let's just come in."

At this time, a male voice was heard, revealing a hint of impatience, but CP0 had already heard some information from this voice. For example, the female voice said that she was from the island, and the male voice indicated that he was the one who had just destroyed the gate. Who on earth could have such great strength? Could it be a giant?
CP0 looked a little grim, he knew that his action target had changed at this moment. The other party came here for two purposes, one was to kill Vegapunk, the other was to save Vegapunk. If it was the former, his hiding could allow the other party to help him achieve his goal. If it was the latter, then his hiding could also launch a fatal blow when necessary. After all, the other party's known strength was great, and head-on confrontation was not a suitable choice.

CP0 thought so and dodged, reducing his overall presence and quietly hiding behind a pipe on the ceiling.

"Did that guy think I didn't notice him?"

Needless to say, it was Quinn and York who came at this moment. Quinn turned into a beast-like snake and rushed through the entire building, while York pointed the way above his head until he found the large laboratory. Before York could say anything, Quinn relied on the incredible brute force of the snake to directly crash into it, which hit the iron wall that was said to be indestructible. York, who was standing on the snake's head, cursed on the spot, "You are still a scientist! How can you be the same as a barbarian who can't use his brain? You just use brute force right away."

In fact, Quinn is not a barbarian. He knows exactly what he is doing. He doesn't know the situation of Vegapunk, but he can guess that the situation is definitely not very good. And by doing this, no matter what, he can buy some time for Vegapunk. As for whether Vegapunk can react? Quinn feels that as long as this old guy has not completely forgotten all the experience he had in the past few years, there should be no problem.

The result was a bit unexpected. There were indeed people other than Vegapunk in the big laboratory, and they were indeed enemies. However, it seemed that the enemies could not do anything to Vegapunk, and now they were hiding because of his previous actions. Of course, the other party must not understand his technical capabilities, otherwise, he would not have to hide at all, as the built-in temperature detector in his eyeballs would have discovered him.

"Who knows? You go deal with him. I'll take the old man away and then meet up at the target point." York didn't care about that and ran straight towards Vegapunk's position, while Quinn shrugged and looked directly at the place where CP0 was hiding.

"Hey! Come out! I noticed you a long time ago!"

Quinn said, and took a few steps forward to position Vegapunk and York behind him, blocking the two of them tightly, leaving no space.

However, even though Quinn shouted like that, CP0 did not believe it. After all, he was not a child anymore, and it was impossible for him to believe the other party's words. But he did not do nothing. He took advantage of the cover of the pipeline and quietly moved to the side, while observing Quinn's line of sight. As a result, he found that Quinn's line of sight was following his movement. Now he knew that he was really exposed, but he still did not think about fighting hard. After all, the power that the other party had just displayed was obviously not something he could resist. He decided to carry out the original plan, find a way to run away, and then report the news. But it was obvious that his plan would not succeed, and Quinn would not let him succeed.

"You are so stubborn, just like the World Government, Spark Queen!"

Quinn stopped talking nonsense, his eyes glared, sparks flew out from behind his sunglasses, sweeping out directly and covering the position where CP0 was. This time CP0 really had nowhere to hide, and had to show up helplessly. At the same time, he changed from being in mid-air to another appearance, that of a giraffe.

"Hoo...Interesting, a giraffe? It seems like you're quite suitable to be taken back home."

Quinn looked at the other person and smiled with interest. It was a pity that Zhizhi was not there, otherwise he would have got another devil fruit.

"Beasts are the scourge of humans - Quinn, as expected, you are the only ones who can afford the price to impress Vegapunk. This old guy really doesn't tell a single truth."

CP0 looked at Quinn and said.

"I admit the second half, but you're wrong about the first half. It wasn't our price that moved him, but your behavior that made this old guy afraid to cooperate with you. This is your own fault, so eat it yourself and don't blame others. And you, kid, I can tell that you are not very old, only in your twenties. It's rare to find a CP0 at such a young age. Unfortunately, you must die here tonight! Poison Queen!"

Quinn opened his mouth wide, and suddenly his head turned into a python. He opened his mouth and exhaled a breath. This breath was colorless and odorless, and it seemed to be incomparable to the poison of Magellan who possessed the Poison-Poison Fruit. But in fact, this colorless poison gas is the most terrifying, because you can't see it, it is everywhere.

Because of Quinn's shouting, CP0 also knew that he was probably surrounded by poison gas, so he immediately held his breath and began to run towards the door. The ability of the animal-type fruit gave him excellent physical strength. He was not far from the door. He believed that at such a close distance, the opponent could not catch up with him, and he could reach there without breathing. As long as he left a certain distance, the opponent's poison gas would have no effect. After all, the opponent's companions were still nearby, and it would definitely not cover a large area.

When CP0 ran towards the door, Quinn didn't chase him at all, but turned to look at York.

"Hey! That guy ran away!"

York, wearing a gas mask, looked at Quinn's unhurried attitude and shouted angrily.

"It doesn't matter. He can't run away. Only a fool would think that poison can only be inhaled through the mouth and nose. Foolish. The poison can penetrate everywhere. The more the prey is strangled by the snake, the more desperate it becomes."

As soon as Quinn finished speaking, CP0, who was only one step away from the door, fell to the ground with a thud. His mask slipped off, revealing a long, square nose and a face full of pain and struggle. The new member of CP0, Kaku, was confirmed dead.
