Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 175 Delicious Buns: 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The World Government's surveillance personnel have all withdrawn, and no one will interfere with them.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. It has special properties and even Vegapunk has difficulty purifying it."

"Any contact with the poison gas, even just a tiny bit of skin, will cause irreversible damage to the body, and 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.

"Okay, I understand."

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 Courland!

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, the 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 like 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.

"Kachcha!"

"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 why the old woman would kidnap Caesar; the two shouldn't have had any connection whatsoever.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened!"

Bad news followed one after another.

Torrepol reported urgently: "Just now, several warships from the G-5 naval 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 accounts with the black-haired guy yet, and that guy actually showed up at his door!

"What is he doing here?!"

"According to my subordinates, the black-haired man is leading his men in a 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 obtaining the power of the giants.

Since then, Cake Island has been shrouded in gloom.

It wasn't until the old woman heard the news that Caesar had a bounty on his head that her dream of obtaining the power of the giants was rekindled.

Kaido has giants called the Numbers, and these giants originated from Punk Hazard; they are experimental subjects created by the World Government to become giants.

Since Caesar came from Punk Hazard, he must have possessed the relevant technology.

That's what the older woman was thinking.

Inside the cake castle, the old woman stared intently at Caesar.

"Okay, okay, I want you to create a drug that can turn humans into giants. With your research capabilities, can you do it?"

"Ah, that kind of thing."

How could that be, you old woman!

Caesar cursed inwardly, but looking at the old woman's terrifying aura, he knew that if he said no, he would probably be killed on the spot.

"Of course it can be done!"

Caesar, abandoning his timid demeanor, exuded confidence: "Big Mom, I've been researching giant medicine, but now that Punk Hazard is destroyed, all my research data is gone too."

Get to the point!

The older woman was getting impatient.

Caesar immediately changed his tune: "I need lots and lots of research funding!"

"Okay, okay, money is not a problem. As long as you can deliver results that satisfy me, I'm willing to spend any amount of money."

The old lady doesn't care about money; all she wants is a giant!

Caesar's eyes lit up, and he began to fantasize about a life of extravagance and debauchery, his mouth practically agape with a grin.

But before that, we need to find a way to escape the Kingdom of Ten Thousand.

"Big Mom, if I want to research the Titan Medicine, I must return to Punk Hazard, where I have the research facilities I need."

"Can."

There was no research institute in the world, and the old lady had no intention of forcibly keeping Caesar, because she was not worried that Caesar would escape.

The Kingdom of All Nations possesses the most advanced intelligence system.

No matter where Caesar hides, the entire world can find him!

"If you're lying to me, you know what will happen to you, right?"

"I know, I know!"

Caesar nodded vigorously.

He now has only one thought: to get the money, go and join Doflamingo, and live a happy life thereafter.

As for the giant medicine, as an excellent scientist, he knew very well that such a magical thing could not possibly exist. He could simply put on a show and continue to extract funding from the old lady.

Whoosh!
