One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

Chapter 175 The Delicious Bun: Caesar Courland

Morning, in the base commander's office.

"Caesar escaped?"

Upon hearing his adjutant's report, Loya's lips curled into a slight smile.

Several days ago, a catastrophic explosion occurred in Punk Hazard, and the main culprit, Caesar Courland, escaped from the prison ship while being transported to Impel Down.

The world government has just issued a bounty.

"Evil Scientist" Caesar Clown has a bounty of 3 million Berries!

An opportunity to investigate Dressrosa has arrived.

He had previously encountered Caesar while vacationing on Hawaii Island. Caesar was with Monet, one of Doflamingo's subordinates, which clearly indicated that they had begun making contact.

Now that Punk Hazard has been destroyed, Caesar's whereabouts are obvious, and he will inevitably seek Doflamingo's protection.

However, there is one important thing that needs to be confirmed before that.

"Lu Yun, prepare the warships, we're heading to Punk Hazard!"

"Senior, Punk Hazard is currently under blockade by the World Government. I've heard that the island is filled with terrifying poison gas and is a forbidden zone where no one can survive."

"It's okay, just do as I say."

"clear."

The warships set off quickly and arrived in Punk Hazard in less than a day.

Loya stood on the deck, surveying the situation on the island.

From afar, the island was shrouded in a purple poisonous fog, and all life was extinct, with even the plants withered and dead.

It truly is a forbidden zone for life.

The World Government's surveillance personnel have all withdrawn, and no one will interfere with them.

Loya asked in a deep voice, "Lu Yun, if we wear protective gear, will we be able to enter the research institute inside?"

"No."

Lu Yun shook her head in denial.

"On the way here, I confirmed with the science team that the poison gas here is H2S gas, which is highly toxic and developed by Caesar. Its properties are so unique that even Vegapunk has difficulty purifying it."

"As long as you come into contact with the poison gas, even if it's just a tiny bit of skin touching it, your body will be corroded by the gas, causing irreversible damage. In severe cases, death is inevitable."

"Even wearing protective suits cannot guarantee protection against toxic gases, and we do not have professional protective suits."

G-5 branch was dirt poor; the only things they could find in the armory were some gas masks, but those were of no use in the environment of Punk Hazard.

"Yeah, I got it."

Loya shook his head regretfully.

He wasn't actually surprised. Punk Hazard was extremely important to the World Government, and the World Government wouldn't have given up the research institute on the island if there hadn't been a real reason.

Even Vegapunk had no choice but to lead the science team to evacuate. If he were to wander off recklessly, he would be asking for trouble.

To enter Punk Hazard now, you either have to wait for the poisonous fog on the island to degrade and disappear naturally, or find the culprit.

Caesar Courant!

Caesar has the ability to purify the poisonous fog on the island!

Loya squinted.

We must get Caesar, no matter what.

The island's research institute not only houses valuable scientific research facilities, but also a coveted artificial Devil Fruit.

Azure Dragon Fruit!

In terms of abilities, it is no different from the original Blue Dragon Fruit. If one were to eat a Devil Fruit, this copy of the Blue Dragon Fruit would definitely be the first choice.

The only thing that bothered him was that the fruit's transformed form was a pink dragon, which looked somewhat effeminate.

After all, being handsome is a lifelong thing.

Another point.

Kaido was born a monster. At the age of ten, he became the strongest warrior in the Vodka Kingdom. His powerful physique, combined with the Blue Dragon Fruit, earned him the reputation of being the strongest creature in the world.

He doesn't have Kaido's naturally strong physique, and the difference in physique is hard to overcome. Even if he eats a copy of the Blue Dragon Fruit, can he really defeat Kaido?

He doesn't want to be a fake!

Loya took a deep breath, his gaze turning cold.

"Notify all unit commanders to assemble in Dressrosa under the pretext of tracking down the evil scientist Caesar Clown!"

"Yes!"

No matter what, we must capture Caesar first!

We must obtain the artificial Azure Dragon Fruit.

Dressrosa, Royal Palace.

Doflamingo had just returned from his trip to Wano Country when he heard some unfavorable news.

“Young Master, things have been a bit strange lately. It seems that many forces have made a pact to come to Dressrosa recently, most likely to investigate the arms trade.”

"It's alright."

Ming was in a good mood and didn't care about these trivial matters at all. They were just a bunch of stray dogs; what trouble could they possibly cause?

"Any news from Monet?"

"not yet."

Monet was in charge of greeting Caesar.

Judging by the time, we should have arrived at the agreed location by now.

"Bru bru~~"

The Den Den Mushi rang at just the right moment.

It was Monet on the phone.

"Kacha!"

"Young Master, Caesar has been kidnapped!"

With just one sentence, the atmosphere in the palace hall became heavy.

Doflamingo's smile gradually faded, and veins bulged on his forehead. If he lost Caesar, Kaido would kill him!

"Monet, what happened?"

"It's the Big Mom Pirates!"

Monet's voice was filled with anxiety; she knew very well how important Caesar was to the family.

But faced with the powerful Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, she could only watch helplessly as Caesar was taken away, and didn't even dare to resist.

"Auntie?!"

Doflamingo's breath hitched, and he slumped weakly onto the throne, instantly deflated. Even though he had allied himself with Kaido, he still dared not provoke Big Mom.

The old woman had the power to kill him!

He couldn't understand what the old woman wanted to do by kidnapping Caesar, since the two shouldn't have had any connection whatsoever.

"Young Master, something bad has happened!"

Bad news followed one after another.

Torrepol reported urgently: "Just now, several warships from the Navy's G-5 branch arrived at the port, and that damned black-haired guy is here too!"

"Black hair!"

Doflamingo, who was already in a bad mood, became even more furious and his face turned so dark it seemed to drip water when he heard that Loya had arrived.

He hadn't even settled the score with the black-haired guy yet, and that guy actually showed up at his door!

"What is he doing here?!"

"According to my subordinates' report, the black-haired man is leading his men to search for Caesar's whereabouts!"

In the port area, a large number of marines were carrying Caesar's bounty poster, and it seemed like they were searching house to house. If the navy continued to act recklessly, who knows how many secrets their families would be exposed.

"Fufufufu~~fufufufu!"

Doflamingo clutched his forehead, barely able to contain his rage. At this crucial moment when Caesar was lost, the Navy was causing trouble again.

If necessary, wipe out the entire navy!

"Let's go see that guy!"

On the other side, the world.

At last year's tea party, the old lady was preparing to hold a wedding for her daughter Lola and the giant prince Loki. However, Lola's elopement shattered the old lady's dream of gaining the power of the giants.
