The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

Kuzan glanced at Caesar, who had an expression that said, "I've been shocked for a hundred years," and handed a white Den Den Mushi to Shima Tei.

"This is an anti-eavesdropping Den Den Mushi. I will use this to notify you if I get any news about the Golden Emperor."

"Don't worry, I'll handle this." Sima Di nodded.

They've even come up with anti-eavesdropping measures.

This implies that their relationship is not yet suitable for public disclosure.

but......

Sima Di had no intention of letting Caesar live; he only wanted Caesar's Devil Fruit.

Kuzan glanced at the Straw Hat Pirates, his gaze lingering on Robin for a moment.

I was quite moved.

I never imagined that the little girl I let go when I was young would one day become my partner in the pursuit of justice.

Good luck fooling people!

Chong Sima nodded.

An icicle grew from beneath Kuzan's feet, lifting him up from the passageway to the ground like an elevator.

The children were carried away with him, lifted up by blocks of ice.

After the two generals left

Usopp quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, we've sent those two legends away!

Although Sima Di reached an agreement with them, they were still enemies who had fought to the death just half a day ago, and Sakazuki had even given them a good beating for half a day.

It's impossible not to feel apprehensive.

Caesar's eyes also began to dart around, looking for an opportunity to escape.

Without a great general, what then...?

"Kacha!"

Seeing the dark shackles now on his wrists, a sudden feeling of weakness made him realize—

"Seastone handcuffs? Why do you have them?!" Caesar screamed.

"Hmph, you don't need to worry about that." Usopp put away the key and looked at Sima Di: "Di, this guy is a Logia type, right? Do you want his Devil Fruit?"

Sima Di gave Usopp a look that suggested he was a promising young man, and casually tossed him a bottle of Devil Fruit separation potion.

Usopp also took out an apple from his weapon pouch—he could carry both Logia and Paramecia type apples, except for Zoan type ones.

"Wait!" Caesar exclaimed in panic, "What did you just say, you long-nosed guy? You're taking away my Vayne-Vayne Fruit? That's impossible! Even Vegapunk, who's an expert in bloodline factors, can only artificially create Devil Fruits, or do so after the target is dead... Huh? You're going to kill me?!"

"Do not kill me!"

"I'm a genius scientist! I'm willing to work for you!"

"My realm of death can even wipe out an entire nation!"

"I have many more inventions! I can give them all to you!"

......

Caesar was trying hard to demonstrate his worth, and he did sound quite good at it.

Usopp couldn't help but look at Sima Di. What do you mean by this?

"Continue," Sima Di said casually.

Do you believe Caesar will obediently surrender?

nonexistent.

This guy is just stalling for time, waiting for a chance to escape.

As for his research...

Ha ha.

but,

Caesar reminded Sima Di that while other things could be dispensed with, the experience regarding the development of the Gas Fruit needed to be copied.

[Telepathy!]

Imparting knowledge and connecting with others is sufficient, but simply copying falls short.

Flipping through Caesar's memories,

Sima Di learned of many dark secrets. This guy was ruthless in his pursuit of scientific research results; using children for experiments was commonplace, but the live experiments on adults were truly appalling...

This guy really deserves to die!

After Sima Di copied the relevant memories, he opened his eyes and saw Usopp holding a Devil Fruit with pink and purple cloud patterns, examining it carefully.

Caesar, on the other hand, had a bump on his head and was lying down to the side.

Presumably, he was uncooperative and was knocked down by Usopp with a single punch.

"What kind of Devil Fruit is this?" Usopp asked curiously.

You can't tell from the outside at all.

“It’s a Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit,” Sanji said. “It allows the user to transform their body into gas and release it from any part of their body. The range of gas expansion is proportional to the user’s strength. It can also purify and compress the gas around the user and manipulate the air within a certain range.”

gas?

This type of gas is rarely encountered by ordinary people; perhaps only Sanji, as a chef, has some understanding of it.

"Gas is just a general term; basically, any natural gas counts," Sima Di continued. "Natural gas is generally lighter than oxygen, which is why this Devil Fruit can fly, and it can also be liquefied by pressurization or cooling."

Although it was explained in more detail,

However, most people did not immediately realize what these characteristics could be used for.

Only Usopp and Sanji seemed to be deep in thought, both looking at the Gas-Gas Fruit.

It's clear that only the two of them are interested in the Gas Fruit.

But the procedures still need to be followed.

Sima Di asked, "Who wants this Gas-Gas Fruit? If it's for a Devil Fruit user, I can throw in a bottle of Devil Fruit compatibility potion."

"I......"

"I......"

Usopp and Sanji shouted almost simultaneously, then both fell silent and looked at each other with some surprise.

After a slight hesitation,

Sanji said, "Since Usopp wants it, then..."

"Wait!" Sima Di waved his hand to interrupt, "Let's go back to the Going Merry first, then each of you can explain your reasons, and then we can vote to see who is more suitable."

The poison gas released by Caesar is almost covering this area.

Usopp and Sanji exchanged a glance, neither of them having any objections.

then,

Beams of teleportation light shot into the sky, returning to the Going Merry.

But only after returning to the Going Merry

Sima Di, carrying Chopper in his left hand and the unconscious Caesar in his right, flew away.

"You guys vote yourselves, we'll be back later."

Sima Di sped forward and stopped at a small iceberg.

"Why did you bring me here, Emperor?" Chopper finally had a chance to ask.

Sima Di casually tossed Caesar to the ground.

"kill him."

Chopper:?っQ?;)っ

As the ship's darling, Chopper is clearly not prepared to kill anyone—in fact, so far, he is the only one on the ship besides the new member Shirahoshi who has never killed anyone.

But that's obviously not going to work—how can there be a "saintly" person on his ship?

“I promised Kureha I would take good care of you,” Sima Di said. “You have never killed anyone before, and I can understand your kindness, but now that we are embarking on a new world, mercy will become a burden.”

“But…” Chopper still resisted.

Emperor Sima did not say much.

He used mind linking.

The horrific scenes he had just witnessed at Caesar's place played out in Chopper's mind one by one.

Chopper grew angrier the more he looked at the face!

Until...
