One Piece: King of the World from White Town

Caesar Courant threw away the muscle relaxant in his hand and pressed button number 2.

I don't know if it was because Abel said he was the 'greatest scientist in the world' that made him look so happy.

"KORO killing gas. If a target inhales this gas, the target will lose the ability to move at the least, or die on the spot at the worst. Once released, the gas will linger for a long time."

As Caesar Courant explained, a large amount of green poisonous gas gushed out of the room in Picture 2, and the five prisoners inside soon fell to the ground.

Some were still twitching, while others had already received their lunch boxes.

Moreover, the poisonous gas inside will not disappear gradually over time.

Seeing this, Caesar Courant had a proud look on his face. It was obvious that this was also a masterpiece he had researched.

After reading it, Abel still had the same expression, "It's quite interesting, much better than the little toy just now. Is there anything with stronger lethality?"

"Wow, these are some very picky customers. I guess I'll have to show some real skills."

Seeing that KORO's killing gas could not meet the other party's requirements, Caesar Courant also became serious.

So he first pressed a few buttons on the console to drain the poison gas from Room 2, and then pressed button No. 6.

"Ding-dang-dang~ Look, this is what once destroyed all the creatures on this island. It's also my latest scientific research result, my little pet, S---Lyme!"

On screen No. 6, a shapeless mass of red gelatinous substance appeared in front of everyone.

Then, with Caesar Courant's quick manipulation, more than a dozen prisoners were suddenly thrown into Room 6.

These prisoners seemed to have foreseen their fate, so they were shouting and screaming wildly and falling into collapse.

But Caesar Courant had no sympathy at all, instead he became more excited.

"Show me your power, my little darling~"

As he gently pressed a button, the gelatinous substance inside suddenly began to expand, emitting purple poisonous gas.

Bang!

The red gelatinous substance exploded and completely turned into purple poisonous gas, filling the entire room.

Under the gaze of Abel and others, these fleeing prisoners were quickly petrified and turned into statues the moment they were enveloped by the purple poisonous gas.

Seeing this, Caesar Courant couldn't help but dance with excitement and said loudly: "These gelatinous substances are actually formed by compressed H2S gas, so when it explodes, the poison gas will spread at an unimaginable speed. And these poisonous gases will entangle the contactors, invade the body through the skin, paralyze the whole body, lose consciousness, and petrify them!"

"Of course, this weapon of mass destruction still has some flaws that need to be solved. Once I perfect it, it will be the nightmare of everyone on the battlefield! But the premise is that I have enough funds to complete it, which is one of the reasons why I need collaborators."

The cunning of Caesar Courant lies in the mixture of truth and falsehood in his words.

Of course, he could have kept silent about the slime's flaws and sold it for a good price.

But that is just a one-time deal, and it can be used to cheat those who don't know the value of the goods.

But now he needs a long-term financial sponsor who has both strength and background.

Among the candidates he investigated, Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo was the one who met the requirements and was ranked in the top three in his mind.

This is also the reason why he was a little angry at the beginning because he didn't meet Doflamingo in person.

He thought it was a sign of disrespect for him.

But for the sake of money, he was prepared to forgive the other party first and then make a big profit from him.

"What do you think of my masterpiece?"

Facing Caesar Courant's confident question, Abel nodded slightly, "Very good, I believe Captain Dover will also like this thing. But in fact, we came here this time for another technology in your hands, and we want to start cooperation."

"Artificial Devil Fruit!"

Caesar Courant didn't seem surprised by this. Although he only revealed a little about it, it was obvious that the world was not short of smart people.

"First of all, I must state that there is a risk of failure in artificial devil fruits, and there is no ruling out that there will be significant side effects. At present, the only devil fruits that can be produced are animal-type devil fruits."

Caesar Courant first exposed his own shortcomings, and then suddenly changed the subject.

Chapter 578 Artificial Devil Fruit

"Although this technology is not yet mature, the person standing before you is the world's greatest scientist, so as long as you have enough time and research funds, all of this will not be a problem."

Caesar Courant knows very well that "sincerity" is the killer move, while deception and empty promises are the finishing moves!

What is the difference between a scientific researcher who can't fool investors and make empty promises and a salted fish?

As for the previous disclosure of product defects, that was nothing more than a means to gain people's trust.

When it comes to adapting the dish to the right person, he is a natural and accomplished master.

Even Monet and his daughters were deceived by him.

Of course, this was also because Abel didn't let Violet "see through" the other party. There was no need for that.

It was enough for Abel himself to know what kind of person this guy was.

"As for the funding, Your Excellency has no need to doubt the strength of our Don Quixote family."

"But we need some time to verify this... well, great scientific research result."

Abel made a promise on Doflamingo's behalf.

César Courant was very pleased with Abel's wording, and he also needed time to choose his collaborators.

There is more than one big fish in his "fish pond".

Some are even heavyweight!

But at the same time, Caesar Courant was also worried about one problem, that is, if his partner was too strong, would he become the other party's "subordinate"? He didn't want to be anyone's employee.

So what he really needs is an ideal victim who has enough money for him to squander, enough strength and status to protect him, and not so strong that he can be reduced to a vassal!

Obviously, it is not easy to find such a sucker.

"No problem. I have to meet some people to discuss cooperation matters."

Caesar Courant said casually.

Those who understand what this sentence means will understand.

After the visit, Abel left all the money he brought and exchanged it for an artificial devil fruit from Caesar Kulang.

"Monet, you and Violet take this artificial devil fruit and rush back as fast as possible and give it to Captain Dover."

"Baby-5 and I will stay here for now to see who the competitors are."

"If you need anything, feel free to contact me using Den Den Mushi."

"Yes, Lord Abel."

Monet looked at the little Lolita who was staying beside Abel with some envy. Apparently, she also realized that although she and Violet belonged to each other's Red Heart Army, it did not mean that they would be trusted.

This will obviously take a long time.

After the two women left, Abel explained the situation to Caesar Courant and simply stayed there.

And Caesar Courant was naturally happy to have a 'guest' here who could help raise the price.

In the next few days, many people from various forces did come.

Although Caesar Courant received all of them, their attitudes were different and the prices they offered were also different.

The only thing in common is that the conditions for cooperation are very harsh, which many people cannot accept.

Some even felt insulted and resorted to violence.

The result was that Caesar Courant had more prisoners to experiment on.

Of course, Abel also played a big role in this.

What surprised Abel was that until Doflamingo arrived here, the people he expected, including Big Mom and Kaido, did not show up.

Has he already hooked up in advance, or is he still not taken seriously at this time?

Abel thought about it and felt that it should be the latter.

After all, before seeing the real thing, who would believe that something like a devil fruit could be artificially created?

He is simply a liar trying to steal your money!

I guess once the news got out, it was treated as a joke.

In this way, Doflamingo is in a class of his own among his competitors.

After all, Doflamingo's advantage is too obvious, and not everyone can challenge him.

……

"Good job, Abel."

After Doflamingo brought his men over, he first "praised" Abel.

Because he heard that many people never left here after coming here, Caesar Courant alone would definitely not dare to offend so many forces.

It was obvious that this guy did this to eliminate his competitors.

"Fortunately, everything is as the captain expected."

Abel was flattering the boss, but in fact he was just throwing the blame away.

After all, in the eyes of outsiders, without Doflamingo's instructions, how could a mere cadre dare to do this?

Doflamingo was speechless.

But after experimenting with the artificial devil fruit that Monet brought back, he was determined to get it.

Since I'm going to offend you anyway, it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later.

The most urgent task is to finalize the cooperation with Caesar Courant and prevent others from getting involved.

No matter what business it is, only monopoly can make the most money.

Doflamingo plans to make artificial devil fruits the family's flagship project and develop them vigorously.

Then, with the help of family channels, they sell it on the underground black market.

Even the cheapest devil fruit is worth 100 million, so it’s not too much to sell an artificial devil fruit for 80 million berries, right?

How much does it cost?

A few million berries at most.

He believed that at this price, many people would be interested.

Although the quality is not very good and there are side effects, it is still very tempting as long as the quantity increases.

A team composed entirely of Animal-type Devil Fruit users!

Just ask yourself, who wouldn’t fantasize after hearing this!

Moreover, currently only animal-type devil fruits can be produced. Who can guarantee that superhuman-type or even natural-type devil fruits cannot be developed in the future? !

If it really works, then the whole world will be changed by him!

It was precisely because Doflamingo saw the huge potential and prospects of this technology that he rushed here immediately.

Fortunately, he sent Abel in advance, so he was not worried that someone would pick the peaches first.

After explaining the current situation, Doflamingo probably had an idea of ​​what was going on.

Then came the negotiations with César Courant.

Caesar Clown is very greedy, but Doflamingo is very generous, or he has a long-term vision and doesn't care about the immediate benefits at all.

So the negotiations went smoothly at the beginning.

Caesar Clown felt that Doflamingo, who was rich, powerful, and had connections, was a very good partner. Most importantly, he felt that a mere Shichibukai could not control him.

To be on the safe side, he wanted to go a step further and introduce another partner as a constraint.

As long as he wants, he can terminate the cooperation and go his separate ways at any time.

But when Caesar Clown said that he wanted to find other partners, Doflamingo was completely unhappy.

Money is fine, and everything else can be discussed as well.

But want one woman to serve two husbands?

dream!
