"Lord Caesar! I have good news and bad news, which would you like to hear?" Monet, the Snow Maiden, asked stiffly.

“Of course I want to hear good news,” Caesar said.

Monet, the Snow Maiden, took a deep breath: "The good news is that the navy has stopped right in front of our research institute, and it doesn't seem like they intend to come in."

Caesar was overjoyed. Could it be that kid Luo's doing?

"And the bad news?" Caesar asked without looking up as he fiddled with the test tube in his hand.

"The Admiral is heading in our direction."

Caesar paused, then gently picked at his ear with his little finger: "I...I didn't understand what you meant. Could you repeat it to me?"

"Fleet Admiral Sakazuki, come this way normally." Monet, the Snow Maiden, pointed to the Yamabuki Flower Ashes on the surveillance camera.

Perhaps due to some serious influence, Caesar suddenly felt incredibly hot, his entire body covered in sweat.

"Fleet Admiral... Sakazuki... Why is he here? Shouldn't he be at Naval Headquarters?" Caesar's hand holding the test tube trembled uncontrollably.

Why is the climate on Punk Hazard so extreme? Half ice and half fire?

It's because of that fierce battle between Aokiji and Akainu two years ago.

The battle between the two directly and permanently altered the island's environment.

This is the power of developing a Logia-type Devil Fruit to its limit.

"Calm down! Calm down! My backer is Doflamingo. Doflamingo is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea; he has some influence with the Navy, right? Monet, I suddenly remembered something very important..."

"I'll go first, you hold off Sakazuki for me!" Caesar shouted, then turned into gas and ran away.

He is a gas person who ate gas fruit.

The body can vaporize and also manipulate the air.

Luffy, Robin, and the others were caught off guard by this move when they first fought Caesar.

He finally understood why Law ran away after just a brief encounter with the navy outside. Anyone would run away in that situation!

Monet, looking utterly astonished, pointed at himself with his wing. "Me? Fight Sakazuki? Are you even human?! How can you say something so cold and rude?"

But then again, Caesar's safety is related to the deal between Doflamingo and Kaido. Monet, the Snow Woman, was sent here as his secretary to protect Caesar.

Moreover, the other party is a Magma-Magma Fruit user, while I am a Snow-Snow Fruit user. We are both Logia-type users, so why should I be afraid of you?

Even assuming we take a step back and I'm a member of the Doflamingo family, and Doflamingo is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, if you were to attack a subordinate of a Warlord, it wouldn't be in accordance with the current World Government's...

rule.

In other words, at most the other party will beat me up, but they probably won't kill me.

That's what Monet was thinking, and at the same time, she flapped her wings and sealed all the entrances with ice and snow.

This should buy us some time.

The temperature in the entire office rose sharply after the breakthrough.

As a snow woman, she began to sweat.

The surrounding ice and snow melted instantly, and a burly man walked in step by step.

The energy of the Magma Fruit had not yet fully erupted; the heat alone was enough to send chills down one's spine.

Monet, the Snow Woman, had prepared herself mentally, but when she actually faced the man who stood above the entire navy, a tremendous fear overwhelmed her.

"Marshal Sakazuki, I am Monet, a member of the Doflamingo family." Monet introduced herself first.

We're all on the same side, so please don't lay a hand on me. My master still has some influence in the navy.

"Well, I wasn't looking for you anyway. Where's Caesar?" Yamabuki Hanaran got straight to the point.

Monet, the Snow Maiden, intended to stall for time: "What do you want with Caesar? Do you want him to research some weapons? Unfortunately, he's not here at all."

Shan Chui Hua Lan went straight to the point and asked, "How long have you been working here?"

Monet, the Snow Maiden, couldn't figure out what the other person meant, but she always felt that there was a hidden murderous intent in the words, as if if she answered incorrectly, the other person would blow her head off in an instant.

"It's always been here."

Yamabuki Hanaran nodded slightly, meaning that this woman was also fully involved in the experiments Caesar conducted.

"So, you've been aiding and abetting evil all this time?"

"???" Monet, the Snow Woman, had no time to react to what happened next when a huge magma hand grabbed her body.

"Pluto!"

In an instant, Monet, the Snow Woman, was melted into a ball.

Young...Master...

At this point, Caesar was already preparing to secretly flee.

He didn't know why the admiral had come here.

In short, the current situation is very unfavorable to me, and I must leave as quickly as possible.

At the same time, he also took out a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) and began contacting various forces to request their help.

Soon, Vergo answered the phone on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

"Send someone to save me quickly, or I'm going to die! Your marshal has gone mad!" Caesar was so frightened that he was incoherent.

Vergo didn't understand what the other person meant.

Marshal? What marshal? Are you dreaming?

Caesar finally managed to escape from the research institute, only to bump into Smoker at the entrance.

The two sides stared at each other, unsure of what to do.

“Caesar?” Smoker recognized the other person at a glance.

Caesar was once Vegapunk's colleague and was also considered a genius scientist.

Unfortunately, Caesar didn't follow the right path, researching various weapons of mass destruction, and was eventually dismissed due to moral issues.

"So it was you who led Akainu here, Smoker. Do you know who you've offended?" Caesar cursed.

Caesar is now universally hated. He promised to help Big Mom research the secrets of gigantism, then swindled a large sum of money from her, and subsequently disappeared at sea.

As a result, the angry old woman chased Caesar across the entire ocean.

If Caesar hadn't had a strong backer, he would have been exposed sooner or later.

Doflamingo is the best backer for this.

"These children have become like this because of you, haven't they?" Smoker asked grimly.

This kind of scum deserves to be punished.

Just as the two sides were about to fight, Luffy arrived with the other half of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Chopper and Nami, who had been captured, were so excited to see Luffy that they burst into tears.

"Luffy, help! Oh, and let's beat this bastard up first!" Chopper pointed at Caesar.

Chapter 1009 (Main Text 1012) Vergo: Me? Fight Akainu?

Although Luffy didn't know what was going on, seeing his crewmates tied up, he naturally wanted to rescue them first.

But then Chopper suggested beating up Caesar first. After much deliberation, Luffy charged straight at Caesar and punched him in the face.

Caesar was a scientist and not particularly strong in combat, not to mention the vast difference in strength between the two sides.

A fist shrouded in Armament Haki slammed into his face.

Blood and saliva flew everywhere as he tumbled and crawled, crashing into an iceberg.

"Straw Hat Luffy, why did you hit me? Do you know who's standing behind me? And I'm not someone to be trifled with!" Caesar, as a scientist, although his fighting skills...

They're not very strong, but they still have some fighting ability.

Especially in the field of technology.

Holding a lightsaber in one hand and a bomb in the other, he at least looks pretty scary.

But these are all just illusions. The real power of the Gas Fruit is that it can suck out all the air, putting people into a state of oxygen deficiency.

Whether it's the world's strongest creature or the sun god, they all essentially need oxygen to survive. Without oxygen, even these powerful beings would have to surrender obediently.

Of course, Luffy's characteristic in fighting bosses is that he will always be killed on the first encounter with the boss.

Being caught off guard by someone, especially when the other party possesses some strange abilities.

The most talked-about is the sixth emperor of the sea, the Bat Emperor.

By the time Luffy realized he had been hit, it was too late.

His body became weak and powerless due to lack of oxygen, and he collapsed to the ground unable to move.

After Caesar dealt with Luffy, he suddenly felt quite capable, realizing that he was actually quite strong even without any powerful backers.

The others looked extremely grim, especially the Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy had lost so easily; no one had expected it.

Just as Caesar was about to strike, an alarm suddenly sounded from deep within the research base, causing Caesar's expression to change drastically.

My hometown was robbed?

Moreover, that was his very foundation: the artificial Devil Fruit workshop.

Why did Doflamingo keep protecting him? It's because he could produce artificial Devil Fruits, thus facilitating a deal with Kaido. If the artificial Devil Fruit factory were to fall...

With their stronghold destroyed, Caesar will lose his powerful backer, and Doflamingo's own life will be in danger.

Kaido won't listen to any of this nonsense.

If anyone makes me unhappy, I'll go up and hit them with a stick.

And coincidentally, if you can catch this blow from me, it means you've already reached the threshold of the Emperor level.

How far is Doflamingo from reaching the Emperor level?

Gear Fourth Luffy, Gear Fourth Luffy Snake Man Form, Advanced Observation Haki (foresight), Advanced Armament Haki (Ryuo), Conqueror's Haki (swirling), Gear Fifth Luffy.

That's right. If we use Luffy as a benchmark, there's at least a seven-level difference between the two.

It is known that Doflamingo is currently weaker than Gear Fourth Luffy.

Therefore, when the artificial Devil Fruit workshop malfunctioned, Caesar was instantly drenched in sweat.

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! Who is it? Could it be Fleet Admiral Sakazuki? How would he know the layout of the workshop? It's unlikely to be him... That leaves only one person, Law!!! I knew you were up to no good!" Caesar had no time to deal with the marines and pirates in front of him.

If the artificial demon workshop goes wrong, Caesar and Doflamingo will be finished.

Caesar rushed back to reinforce as quickly as possible, knowing that Vergo was on his way.

As a vice admiral, Vergo is quite powerful.

The two of them working together should have no problem protecting the artificial Devil Fruit factory.

Smoker looked at Luffy, who had fainted due to lack of oxygen, and skillfully used his Seastone Gauntlets to tie Luffy up.

He never expected that what was just a relatively ordinary mission would result in him gaining the entire Straw Hat Pirates.

This is really interesting.

"Tashigi, you stay here and watch them. I'm going to see what's going on inside." Smoker followed Caesar as they rushed deeper into the building.

As a result, because I was unfamiliar with the area, I got lost after making several turns.

Just as Smoker was at a loss, a very familiar figure appeared in front of him.

It was a tall man wearing sunglasses, and Smoker recognized him at a glance.

"Vergo? Why are you here?" Smoker thought for a moment and immediately realized that Vergo was a spy in the Navy.

Actually, he had a pretty good impression of Vergo. After all, Vergo had always been very gentle and kind in front of the navy, and always the first to charge into battle.

It has accumulated a large following.

Smoker had never doubted him before.

“We’ve been seen!” Vergo looked at Smoker calmly.

Things have already progressed to this point, so it doesn't matter if they're seen.

"When did you betray the Navy?" Smoker stared at Vergo with a ferocious expression.
