Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

Luo spoke calmly, then walked to the giant stone tablet and said, "Clearly, this is the most valuable research material here, Caesar..."

Caesar turned his gaze to the head that seemed to have grown onto the stone, his legs went weak and he collapsed to the ground, crying out in terror.

"Kaido... Kaido??!!"

[Chapter 567. The Attack of the Four Sweet Generals (Third Update)]

"Kaido... Kaido??!!"

Caesar's terrified voice echoed continuously, and even his tone unconsciously became unusually sharp.

"Huh? Where did this annoying brat come from?"

"Kid, come closer to me, and I'll chew you up and taste your fresh meat."

"That guy, I think his name is Caesar?"

Among them, the obese "Plague" Quinn, whose body was bound in seastone chains, leaned his head against the edge of the cage, his eyes fixed on Caesar, and said.

"That's right, Caesar Cullen, who used to be like me as an 'M'..."

Amidst the commotion from the research materials, Luo calmly pressed a button in his hand.

In an instant, azure lightning erupted in every cage, causing the villains of the "Beast Pirates" to let out a series of painful howls.

Immediately, amidst a faint aroma of meat, Luo calmly spoke.

"As research material, please keep quiet. Otherwise, I don't mind permanently closing your mouths physiologically. However, that would require providing you with liquid food, so could you please not cause me any trouble?"

Immediately, the villains of the "Beasts Pirates" fell silent, staring at Law with intense anger and hatred. They stared at the man in front of them who seemed to have no other emotions and only wanted to study their bodies.

Immediately afterwards, Luo turned to Caesar, who was still slumped on the ground, and spoke.

"Caesar, it's time to stop embarrassing yourselves with research materials. These are the latest batch of research materials that have been delivered. They're all just wicked villains who deserve to die anyway, so you can conduct your research on them as you please."

Caesar's lips twitched slightly as he asked, "Law, how...did you get these guys? This is practically half of the 'Beasts Pirates' now, isn't it?"

"This is not something you should be asking about."

Luo replied, "Your task is to assist me in analyzing the lineage factors of these research materials as quickly as possible."

Hearing Law's words, Caesar took a few deep breaths and glanced at the Beast Pirates officers and Kaido in front of him.

These people in front of me... are all important figures whom I could almost never have reached before!

The next moment, a hint of excitement and agitation appeared in Caesar's eyes, especially when he looked at Kaido with a fanatical expression, and he said.

"I see, Law. The bloodline factor data I sneezed over last night was analyzed from Kaido, right?"

"Hmm? So it really was peeping?" Luo unsurprisingly caught the key words.

"No, no, no, it was an accident, it was an accident..."

Caesar shuddered and quickly offered an explanation.

"However, I am now almost certain of one thing: Kaido is Vegapunk's masterpiece, the one whose bloodline factor was modified. If we can analyze Kaido's bloodline factor, it will be equivalent to obtaining all of Vegapunk's research results on bloodline factors..."

At this point, Caesar's expression grew even more fanatical. "As long as I can master Vegapunk's research, and combine that with my genius and wisdom, surpassing Vegapunk will be just around the corner! Hahahaha!!!"

However, at that moment, a series of alarms suddenly sounded throughout the research institute, accompanied by a faint rumbling sound.

"What...what happened?" Caesar asked, shaking his head in bewilderment.

"It's nothing. It's probably just that some pirates attacked the research institute. We don't need to worry about it. Someone will take care of those pirates."

Luo spoke with unusual calm, then continued to explain the precautions for the research to Caesar.

However, after a while, the piercing alarm still hadn't stopped, which made Luo realize that something was wrong.

The island where the research institute is located is an uninhabited deserted island. Occasionally, some foolish pirates will stop there temporarily and then explore the deserted island out of so-called adventurous spirit. For this heavily guarded research institute, it is just a matter of sending them all to be wiped out.

After all, this is not the Grand Line, but the North Blue, a place where strong people are scarce and even pirates who know Haki are few and far between.

Caesar, who had been somewhat fanatical, suddenly felt a pang of anxiety and asked nervously, "Hey, Law, are you really alright?"

"Ah, it seems there really is a problem."

With his hands in his pockets, Law walked towards the door where the experimental subjects were being held, saying, "Caesar, you stay here and don't wander off. I'll take care of this."

"Hey, hey, hey, Luo, you bastard, don't leave me here alone!!!"

Before Caesar could fully express his opposition, the door, made of seastone and other metals, slammed shut.

"boom!"

Caesar's face twitched slightly, and his eyes slowly darted around, as if the great pirates imprisoned in the cages might tear him to pieces at any moment.

especially……

Caesar swallowed hard, then turned to look at Kaido's head on the monument behind him, where only one eyeball was visible. The brutal and domineering look in Kaido's eyes sent chills down Caesar's spine, as a researcher.

As Caesar's former colleague, "Plague" Quinn slammed his head against the edge of the cage and growled in a low voice.

"Hey, Caesar, let us go, and you can have whatever you want!"

With a terrified look on his face, Caesar said, "Quinn, I wish I could, but my heart belongs to Law..."

"what???"

In an instant, the fierce and domineering gazes of the Beast Pirates' officers all turned into surprise and...disdain.

As Luo left the specially made room, he strolled leisurely toward the direction from which the commotion had occurred at the research institute, making contact with the researchers using a Den Den Mushi.

"what's the situation?"

"It's Charlotte Snack and Charlotte Cracker, two of the Four Sweet Commanders of the 'Big Mom Pirates.' We've already requested support from a nearby branch of the organization."

"Snag? Cracker?"

Luo frowned slightly, completely unexpected that the enemies who broke into the research institute would be two important figures from the "New World" sea area.

These two guys have bounties of 600 million and 860 million Berries respectively, making them formidable pirates comparable to the Three Disasters of the Beasts Pirates.

'Kaido? Or will the locations of the other pirates be determined?'

Luo quickly identified the most likely possibility in his mind, and then calmly spoke.

"No need to request support. Those two guys are beyond the capabilities of the organization's forces remaining in Beihai. Activate the emergency plan and evacuate to the backup research institute."

[Chapter 568. Just a little bit]

The average strength of the four seas is roughly equivalent to that of a beginner's village compared to the Grand Line.

The Sweet Commanders are so strong that even the Revolutionary Army's North Navy Commander "Crow" Karasu could barely handle one of them, so Law knew very well that requesting support from the Revolutionary Army would be pointless.

The great pirates from the "New World" seas are no less of a threat to the North Blue than a dimensional reduction attack.

……

Soon, even though Luo stopped the unnecessary request for reinforcements, the information still reached Dragon's ears, who was fishing with Yann.

"What? Charlotte Snack and Charlotte Cracker, two of the Four Sweet Commanders of the 'Big Mom Pirates,' attacked the 'Life Factor Research Institute'?"

Dorrag's tone was filled with disbelief, and his face looked quite grim.

After all, although the 'Life Factor Research Institute' was a privately established institute by Yone and not directly under the Revolutionary Army, it was still one of the off-the-books research institutes, and a large number of its research results were directly shared with the Revolutionary Army.

However, compared to Dragon's panic, Yann's expression was quite calm. He continued fishing while pouring Dragon a cup of tea with one hand and said...

"Dorag, being too noisy will scare the fish away."

"Hey, Chief of Staff, isn't your attitude a bit too calm? The attacker is one of the four Sweet Commanders of the 'Big Mom Pirates,' a great pirate whose overall combat strength is probably much stronger than most of the Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals..."

Immediately, Dorrag frowned and muttered to himself.

"This is troublesome. The organization's top combat force in the North Sea is only 'Raven' Karas. But even if Karas can hold one of them back, he can't deal with the other one."

"If the research institute is destroyed, not only will all the research results hidden in the institute be taken away, but more troublesome is that if 'Beasts' Kaido and his subordinates are released, it will probably affect the organization's overall plan and expose the organization to the open sea."

"Damn it, how did those two manage to evade the navy's surveillance and blockade so easily and reach the North Sea? And why didn't the organization's intelligence system detect their presence?"

Yone took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "Under normal circumstances, Charlotte Snag and Charlotte Cracker wouldn't be able to openly and legitimately cross the Navy's blockade to reach the North Blue."

"However, this can be considered a chain reaction. After all, the Navy has drawn a large number of elite naval forces and combat power from its branches in various regions to concentrate in the 'New World' waters. Under such circumstances, it is not surprising that the 'BIG MOM Pirates,' which has close ties with the underworld, found a loophole and secretly arrived in the North Blue without being detected."

"However, it's a problem that the organization's intelligence system didn't pay attention to Charlotte Snag and Charlotte Cracker. Did they go straight to the research institute after arriving in the North Sea without any delay?"

Ya'en narrowed his eyes slightly, various guesses flashing through his mind, and slowly spoke.

"It seems that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin are closer than we imagined. It is very likely that Charlotte Linlin has Kaido's Vivre Card."

Dorrag's expression also turned serious, and he said.

"So the 'BIG MOM Pirates' aim is to rescue Kaido? This is troublesome. Once Kaido is rescued, not only will most of the organization's hidden power be exposed, but even the secrets of the Seven Warlords and you, Chief of Staff, will be completely revealed."

Yan nodded, naturally understanding the seriousness of the matter.

Immediately, Dragon didn't dare to delay at all. While speaking, he took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and prepared to make a contact.

"This is troublesome. We must stop Charlotte Snag and Charlotte Cracker. Hopefully, Raven and Bear can catch up."

However, Yann stopped Dragon's actions and said...

“The crow is too far from the research institute. Although Kuma’s Devil Fruit ability can cross the sea quickly, he is currently on the Grand Line. It would take him at least two days... or more to arrive. He can’t catch up.”

"What should I do?"

Dorrag blurted out something subconsciously, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

Yarn's demeanor was far too calm, as if he wasn't worried at all. "Hey, Yarn, did you have a backup plan?"

Ya'en calmly watched the fishing float on the water's surface, observing its movements, and said, "Just a little bit."

"A little bit???"

Dorag's tone was full of doubt as he spoke.

"The attackers are two of the four Sweet Commanders of the 'BIG MOM Pirates,' each of whom is capable of single-handedly destroying a small country in the New World. If it's just a small matter, then I'd better send Kuma over there as soon as possible."

"Then let's make it a little more than just a tiny bit."

Looking at the serious-looking Dorrag, Yann stopped teasing him and instead smiled as he spoke.

"Since we intend to use Kaido as research material, we must naturally consider all kinds of risks and avoid the worst-case scenario."

After a pause, Yann adjusted his glasses and said.

"Of course, I didn't expect Kaido to hand over the important Vivre Card to Charlotte Linlin. My worst-case scenario was that the World Government had left some kind of tracking device inside Kaido's body to deal with CP0."
