Chapter 223: Caesar's customers are all over the New World
Bang β
The side walls were smashed through by a strange force, and a large, fire-breathing winged wyvern burst out.
It stared at the three men and chased after them.
"I'm catching up again!"
Bucky was shocked to see that the poison gas and fire-breathing wyvern had separated them from Law and Drake in the chaos.
Kidd laughed as he ran, "Didn't you always want to see the 'dragon'?" Now let you see. β
His right arm has a lot of metal adsorbed on it, which has both the beauty of a machine and the sharpness of a weapon.
"I just complained casually when I landed on the island, who knew there would really be such a monster?"
Bucky yelled for a while, then calmed down and gave the order.
"Perona, use your 'negative ghost' to quiet it, Kidd, take it down with your mechanical fist!"
Perona was already a little exhausted in her rapid running, and she couldn't even respond.
She could only silently turn around, and two white ghosts bubbled out of her palms.
Two white ghosts let out a terrible scream, fluttered through the air, burrowed into the fire-breathing dragon's body, and then came out of it.
Charizard didn't take any damage, but it suddenly rolled to the floor, causing the ground to tremble.
It folded its wings and looked depressed.
"Kidd, good chance, do it!" Bucky urged.
"I know!"
Kidd turned and stopped, and with an arrow he crossed Perona.
He leapt over the fire-breathing dragon's head, his right fist slamming down on its head.
Bang - Charizard's wyvern was hammered into the floor like a nail by Kidd's right fist.
It fluttered on all four legs a few times, and then it didn't move.
Bucky was overjoyed: "Sure enough, Uncle Ben's command is impeccable!" β
Kidd landed next to Charizard's belly, just rolling his eyes and not arguing with Bucky.
Perona finally got a chance to breathe, she leaned against the wall, gasped for air, and took out a small handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face.
Bucky, torn apart, returned to his feet, and he looked the wyvern up and down.
Suddenly, Bucky let out a questioning "hmm" that raised the tension between Kidd and Perona.
Both looked at him.
Along the way, Bucky's domineering "pursuit of advantages and avoiding disadvantages" is almost superb, so that they have no more danger except for this difficult fire-breathing dragon.
At least on this point, Kidd and Perona are still convinced of him.
That's why the temporary command of their three-man squad would fall into Bucky's hands.
"There seems to be ...... 'monster' around here?"
Bucky looked in one direction.
As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying roar was heard from that direction.
Kidd walked in the direction of the sound.
A wall blocked in front of him, and he smashed it with his right arm of his machine, revealing another hallway across the wall.
Another wall stopped in front of him, and he waved his right arm again, violently clearing the way for himself.
In the blink of an eye, Kidd used this way to open up a "road" for him.
When Bucky and Perona chase after Kidd, they realize that he has broken into a large room.
Kidd was standing in front of an iron railing, looking down.
"What's wrong?"
Bucky asked, noticing Kidd's strange expression, and also approached the iron railing, looking down.
I saw that more than ten meters deep from here, there was a huge semi-spherical transparent cover glowing with light.
Inside the hood, there is a scarlet "monster".
It has four thick, short legs, and its tail wagged like a fish's tail.
"What is this?"
Bucky's eyes widened in astonishment, causing Perona to run to the railing curiously.
For a moment, the three of them were silent, unable to come up with a definite answer, just because they had never seen such a scarlet beast.
Buzz β
A screeching sound of amplified microphones rang out.
Both Bucky and Perona covered their ears in discomfort.
Only Kidd's forehead, which had no eyebrows, furrowed.
"The invaders ......"
A sly-sounding man's voice rang out, echoing through the vast space.
"Looks like you've discovered my 'baby'."
"There!"
Bucky sensed the approximate location of the vocalizer, pointing to the dark corner next to the semi-circular transparent dome.
"Someone is hiding there!"
"Woohoo, you've found out...... It can't be helped. β
A man floated out of the shadows.
He had a pair of horns on his head, and the lower half of his body had turned into a cloud of purple mist.
"That guy is 'natural.'" Kidd judged.
The man paused, then said, "You're the pirates of the Davy Jones Pirates, aren't you?" Since we are pirates, then we are not enemies......"
"Come down, let's talk. However, if you don't have the guts to do so, forget it. β
Kidd couldn't be stimulated at all, so he turned over and jumped down from the railing more than ten meters high.
"So reckless......
Bucky muttered, but found a secluded corner with Perona.
One of them left his feet, the other of his body, and floated down.
When the three of them gathered again around the semi-circular cover underground, the monster inside the cover roared at them.
And the person who spoke through the microphone finally showed his full picture in front of them.
"I'm 'True Genius Scientist' Caesar Courant."
Caesar grinned and laughed.
"It's my most precious 'masterpiece', and it's not perfect, but if you give me another year or two, I'll be able to turn it into a terrifying killing weapon!"
Bucky raised an eyebrow: "'Genius Scientist', I've only heard of Vegapunk......"
"That kind of guy is nothing!" Caesar interrupted with a loud shout, "I have completely surpassed him, and my invention is even favored by the 'Four Emperors' and the 'Seven Martial Seas'!" β
Caesar was a former assistant to Vegapunk and assisted Vegapunk in some human experiments on Punk Hazard Island two years ago.
It's just that the two have a difference of ideas, and Caesar insists on creating the monster in the cover next to him, and finally breaks with Vegapunk.
In a fit of rage, Caesar detonated two of the three research institutes, causing poison gas to envelop the island and kill a large number of researchers and naval soldiers.
He was arrested by the Navy, managed to escape, and then lived incognito.
It wasn't until he received three infusions of funding that he was able to restart the last research institute on the abandoned Punk Hazard Island.
Caesar said triumphantly to the three of them at this time:
"First of all, it's 'BIGMOM' Charlotte Lingling, who invested in 'Giant Medicine'!"
"Actually, I think this direction is a dead end, and now it's just for her money, and taking some children to do experiments, and using data to perfunctory her."
"Secondly, it is the 'Beast' Kaido who invested in the 'Artificial Devil Fruit', but his favorite is the 'Artificial Animal Devil Fruit'."
"I've made a lot of semi-finished products so far, you should have bumped into those Charizards along the way, right? They are the masterpieces of the 'Artificial Animal Devil Fruit'! β
Bucky, Perona, and Kidd all changed their faces.
They didn't expect to hear such a horrific secret here......
Not only are there human experiments here, but even the "Four Emperors" are loyal customers of Caesar.
Caesar changed his words at this point: "However, what really keeps me on my feet is the king of the underworld - 'Joker'!" β
"Joker" ...... "Joker"?!
Both Perona and Kidd couldn't help but turn their heads to look at Bucky, who had a big red nose.
Bucky knew what they were looking at and became excited.
"Caesar, don't talk nonsense, when did I become the 'king of the underworld'?"
Hearing this, Caesar was stunned for a moment, and then came back to his senses:
"I'm not talking about you, it's 'Tenyasha' Doflamingo! His name in the underworld is 'Joker', don't you know? β
It turned out to be Doflamingo, no wonder...... Kidd and Perona both looked abrupt.
Bucky felt a little hot on his face.
However, at this moment, they were even more surprised in their hearts.
Kaido, Charlotte Lingling, Doflamingo, Caesar's "customers" are really famous.
In fact, Caesar still has some secret customers, but his fame and status are completely inferior to these three people, and he doesn't bother to mention them again.
He walked over to the transparent cover, reached out and touched the barrier, and said with a smile:
"Doflamingo's investment is a 'weapon of mass destruction'...... I soon had a brilliant idea. β
"That is, compress the poisonous gas spreading on Punk Hazard Island, and let it combine with the 'Animal Devil Fruit', you can create the most terrifying monster!"
The monster in the transparent shroud roared at them again, revealing its fierce face!
"Slime!" Caesar's eyes were full of madness, "A poisonous gas monster that has eaten the 'animal-based salamander fruit, hexagonal newt form'!" β
The slime took a few steps backwards, then slammed into the transparent shroud, sending out a tremor.
Caesar glanced back, then said:
"I know that your Davy Jones Pirates are expanding their power, and as long as they expand their territory, they need to fight, and they need weapons to fight."
"How? Interested in my invention? As long as your captain is willing to pay the full price, I will serve you! For example...... Gas! β
Using "poison gas" as a weapon?
Bucky, Perona, and Kidd are all pirates, and they're certainly not good people.
But even so, they feel a physical and psychological aversion to the "creations" made by "human experiments".
Although the world has many prejudices against their captain, they think that he is a murderous villain.
But in reality, David Jones only uses ruthless tactics against identified enemies, treacherous people.
He will not kill all the innocent people around.
If the poison gas of indiscriminate attacks is really used, then whether it is an enemy, a treacherous person, an innocent person, or even someone on your own side, it may be affected.
They looked hesitant.
It was the first time that Caesar had taken the initiative to offer an olive branch, but the other party hesitated to accept it.
Both Kaido and Doflamingo accepted the weapons without hesitation.
As far as he knew, they had also put their weapons on the battlefield.
If it weren't for the unfailing results of Charlotte Lingling's investment project, there must have been many "giant" monsters in her troops.
The members of the Davy Jones Pirates didn't show much interest......
It seems that they are not all the way with us.
Caesarton was disappointed, but fortunately, Virgo's order was to finish them off.
Since they don't choose to cooperate, then he won't have the slightest mercy when he kills them.
"What a troublesome guy......"
Caesar muttered, floating in mid-air.
He pulled out a remote control in his arms and pressed the red button.
"I'll let you experience for yourself how terrible my weapons are."
The transparent shroud is neatly split into four lobes from the top, and then calmly descends into the ground, releasing the slimes.
"Roarβ"
The slime yelled heavily at Bucky, Perona, and Kidd, flicking the gelatinous venom from their bodies.
Every drop that fell to the ground rose with corrosive poisonous gas.
None of the three of Bucky expected Caesar to change his mind in the blink of an eye, highlighting a capriciousness.
The slime's massive body pounced, and they quickly dodged.
