One Piece: Starting with Creating the Strongest Character Design

Chapter 91 The Escape Plan (Please Subscribe)

As Kitahara Tsune was thinking about how to dispel the poisonous gas, a huge red dragon descended from the sky and used its wings to blow away the spreading poisonous mist.

That was Vegapunk's artificial creature, codenamed Artificial Creature Dragon XIII, one of Vegapunk's most prized creations.

After the red dragon came to a complete stop, several figures disembarked from its back.

It consists of Dori, Sentomaru, and Vegapunk, as well as some researchers on the island.

"Major General Kitahara Tsuneo, how's the battle going?" Vegapunk asked.

Dori and Sentomaru, who were standing to the side, also looked at Kitahara Tsune with concerned eyes.

"He's one of the three pillars of the Beasts Pirates, the Drought," Jack replied. Kitahara Tsuneo.

"However, I couldn't find Caesar Cullen. I don't know where he went. Jack also used the poison gas to escape."

"We've gathered all the cyborgs and artificial creatures on the island," Vegapunk said. "However, the cyborgs from the western island haven't arrived yet."

"Caesar must have already headed west, and Jack the Drought is probably on his way there as well."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsune looked at Vegapunk and asked, "What's on the west side of the island?"

Vegapunk thought for a moment and replied, "There's nothing there. That area hasn't been developed yet; it's still a primeval jungle."

"Given Caesar's frequent trips to the west to conduct explosion experiments, I suspect he has secretly built a research lab there, and they are likely planning something now."

Kitahara Tsune nodded and said, "I see. But since the entire island is under lockdown, there shouldn't be any problems."

A researcher responsible for the island's security suddenly interjected, "Although Mr. Vegapunk has sealed off the entire island, the underground waterways have not been sealed off."

"Caesar may have escaped from here using underground waterways that connect to the ocean."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsuneo immediately asked seriously, "Does the other side have a ship?"

The researcher replied, "He often goes to the west to conduct explosion experiments. Although that area has not been developed, it has a large stockpile of supplies."

"Building a submarine is not a problem at all."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Tsuneo immediately looked at Vegapunk and asked, "Have you notified the Navy?"

Vegapunk nodded and said, "I notified the Navy when the battle took place in the lab."

"The Navy's G5 branch has already dispatched personnel, who will arrive within a day."

"At the same time, the Navy Headquarters also issued a message that Vice Admiral Garp will arrive here in a day."

"Vice General Garp has arrived?"

Kitahara Tsune was somewhat surprised. It seemed that the World Government really valued Vegapunk, even sending a naval hero.

"Then there's nothing to worry about," Kitahara Tsune said.

Even with the vitality of an ancient species, Jack could not possibly fully recover to his peak condition in just one day.

"What methods are there to monitor the underground waterways that connect to the sea?" Dolly asked from the side.

Vegapunk replied, "There are no submarines on the island, so we can't test the underwater situation."

Upon hearing this, Sentomaru stepped forward and volunteered, saying, "I can swim. Let me go underwater and see if I can catch them."

Vegapunk smiled, patted Sentomaru's head, and said, "The situation isn't at the point where we need to send a child into the game."

However, Sentomaru's words did inspire Kitahara Tsune.

"I'm a pretty good swimmer," Kitahara Tsune said. "Didn't we catch two sea monsters before? I'll go with them to check out the waters around Punk Hazard."

"If you don't run into them, there's nothing you can do; if you do, then you're just lucky."

Vegapunk hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

This time he did not stop Kitahara Tsuneo.

He had already learned of the true strength of this rear admiral from the previous battle.

He simply suggested, "The underwater tunnels on the island are intricate, but if Caesar wants to leave the island, he should leave from the east side."

"Leaving from the east, we can head to the nearest island, Dressrosa, and focus our search on the eastern waters."

Kitahara Tsune nodded, indicating that he understood.

Led by the researchers, Kitahara Tsuneo brought two sea monsters to the beach of Punk Hazard.

These two sea monsters were used by Vegapunk to research bio-engineering technology.

However, I haven't had time to study it yet; I've just put a biological collar around my neck.

Marine creatures are far less intelligent than sea kings, and are completely incapable of communicating with each other.

The two sea monsters were initially somewhat afraid of Kitahara Tsune, after all, Kitahara Tsune had beaten them up and captured them before.

Fortunately, after Kitahara Tsune's sincere apology, the two sea monsters returned to their original friendly attitude towards him.

"Fish have a 7-second memory, could it be that marine mammals do too?"

Kitahara Tsune shook his head and made a comment.

Kitahara Tsune floated underwater, watching the two sea creatures swimming around him, and said, "Kashiri, go over there."

"Kaku, go to the other side."

Weiqu and Kaku were the names he gave to the two sea creatures.

There were exactly two sea creatures, one with a lion's head and the other with a giraffe's head.

The two sea creatures didn't understand Kitahara Tsune's meaning for a moment, and just stared blankly at him.

Kitahara Tsune patiently gestured and explained until the two sea creatures finally understood what he meant.

The two sea creatures swayed and drifted towards the surrounding sea, looking for anything unfamiliar.

Meanwhile, in a hidden secret base in western Punk Hazard.

Caesar Cullen, dressed in a research suit, was floating in mid-air, while a huge figure behind him was pulling a blood-covered Jack along.

The huge figure pulling Jack was like a small giant.

He was a semi-finished product created by Caesar through his experiments on giantification of prisoners.

They basically had no subjective consciousness and could only act on Caesar's orders.

Even eating, drinking, and relieving oneself had to be handled by Caesar himself.

Moreover, the degree of giantification was far below expectations; the body size resembled that of a giant cub that had not fully developed.

Caesar, while leading Jack along, complained, "Why did you have to rush straight out of the lab?"

"If you rush out like this, won't you just expose our relationship?"

"And why did you suddenly appear in my lab?!"

"Shut up!" Jack roared.

He was extremely agitated.

I thought it would be an easy task, but I was unexpectedly put in sea stone handcuffs and thrown into the sea right from the start.

Later, Caesar picked him up again, threw him into the prison, and had a talk with him.

During that time, the sea stone handcuffs were never removed.

If it weren't for Quinn's technological assistance, he might still be in that prison.

Although the two have reached an agreement on the matter of artificial Devil Fruits—the Beasts Pirates will provide Caesar with research funds and human experimentation materials, while Caesar will mass-produce artificial Devil Fruits for them.

But in Jack's view, as long as Caesar obediently goes back to Wano Country with him, there won't be so many troubles later on.

So that very night, he used Quinn's technology to go directly to Caesar's private laboratory.
