Caesar Clown Walking into a Trap

Chapter 40: Caesar Clown Walks Right Into a Trap

Thin, hard wires were skillfully probing the keyhole of the handcuffs, guided by the constant tremors of Caesar Clown's hands.

The simple skill of picking locks was clearly not a difficult task for a highly intelligent individual like Caesar Clown.

Click!

In the silent prison cell, a crisp sound echoed from within the handcuff's lock.

The sound startled Caesar Clown, and at the same time, the handcuffs that bound him sprang open.

As soon as the Seastone handcuffs were unlocked, Caesar Clown frantically looked around.

When he realized the Den Den Mushi monitoring the cell showed no reaction.

"Phew, you really scared me to death. This is more dangerous than conducting experiments."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Then, using the same method as he did with the handcuffs, he unlocked the shackles around his feet.

Another crisp sound rang out.

With excitement gleaming in his eyes, Caesar Clown feigned walking towards a blind spot in the surveillance and turned his back.

He quickly removed the handcuffs and shackles.

The weakness brought on by the Seastone immediately vanished.

Feeling that his Devil Fruit abilities could be used freely once more.

"Hypnosis Gas."

A cloud of white smoke instantly filled the entire cell.

While the monitoring Den Den Mushi was being hypnotized.

Caesar Clown immediately elementalized his entire body and then rapidly flew towards the gaps in the ship.

Ding ding ding!

The sound of an emergency assembly quickly rang out on the warship transporting prisoners.

The chaotic footsteps indicated the panic of all the Marines on board.

Large amounts of poisonous gas were surging through the interior of the warship.

As the entire warship descended into utter chaos.

Caesar Clown, his body fully elementalized, was speeding towards the outer edges of the Vortex Triangle Sea Area.

If it were a ship, it would surely be trapped by this strange current.

But for a Logia-type Devil Fruit user who could fly, currents that could affect ships had no effect on them.

Caesar Clown needed to leave this area quickly, not for any other reason than that Marine Headquarters was too close.

As a former specially appointed scientist of the World Government, Caesar Clown knew exactly how terrifying the monsters within the Marines were.

Although he had escaped the greatest crisis, he couldn't let his guard down despite his excitement.

"Shiro ro ro ro ro ro, I finally escaped! Beautiful freedom, a beautiful future, here I come, Caesar Clown!"

He let out unrestrained laughter as he fled.

Thinking about the collaboration he was about to undertake with Doflamingo and all his plans for the future.

Caesar Clown became lost in his fantasies, imagining himself surpassing Vegapunk and becoming the world's number one.

Just as he was heading towards the designated location as agreed with Doflamingo, with a pleasant mood.

While Caesar Clown was lost in his fantasies and not paying attention, white mist began to appear around him.

When the mist started as a thin layer and then grew thick enough to obscure his vision.

"Huh? What's going on? Why is there such thick fog? Is this a new geographical phenomenon?"

He stopped in his tracks. The change in his surroundings had clearly aroused Caesar Clown's suspicion.

Just as he was about to fly higher into the sky to escape the fog.

"Mr. Caesar, you're running quite fast. I almost couldn't keep up with you."

The sudden voice from behind made Caesar Clown's entire body tense up instantly.

"Could it be the Marines chasing me? Impossible, how could they be so fast?"

Various thoughts shattered Caesar Clown's previous fantasies in an instant.

"Who's there?"

Sweat instantly drenched his back, and at the same time, intense poisonous gas violently spread out from around him.

"Aiyaiya, Mr. Caesar, don't be so nervous!

Firstly, I'm not here to arrest you. Secondly, I'm here because I want you to be my dog."

He suddenly increased the distance between them.

When Caesar Clown turned around, a young man in casual clothes stood before him.

In fact, after hearing that he wasn't here to arrest him, Caesar Clown breathed a sigh of relief.

But after hearing the word "lackey," before his anger could even rise.

"Reaper's Sound."

A sound like the footsteps of death immediately spread across the sea.

Standing opposite Roy, Caesar Clown felt a sudden dizziness.

At this moment, the terrifying sound wave seemed to make him truly see the footsteps of death approaching.

Caesar Clown's gaze faltered for a moment.

"Cloud Burst Heavenly Star."

Vast sea clouds floating in the sky instantly began to gather around Caesar Clown.

A giant sea cloud sphere, dozens of meters in diameter, quickly enveloped Caesar Clown.

Caesar Clown, who had lost his focus for a moment, saw this.

"What was that just now? Conqueror's Haki?"

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, being a coward – this was Caesar Clown's true nature.

The terrifying sound wave just now had made Caesar Clown feel as if he had seen death.

"No, I'm absolutely no match for this guy. I need to escape quickly."

Suppressing his trembling body, just as Caesar Clown regained his senses.

He was shocked to find that his surroundings were completely dark.

Roy's probing attack had indeed made the cowardly Caesar Clown lose the courage to resist.

Having decided to escape at all costs, he chose a direction he could barely see.

"Void World."

Caesar Clown originally intended to absorb and expel all the mist.

But to his surprise, even Caesar Clown hadn't expected that the mist around him was entirely sea clouds containing Seastone particles.

As Caesar Clown unleashed his ultimate move.

With Roy looking utterly bewildered.

Caesar Clown's abilities were instantly nullified by the absorbed Seastone particles, and he then fell straight into the denser sea clouds below.

"Damn, I thought he'd struggle a bit, but that's it."

Looking at Caesar Clown, who was about to fall into the sea.

Roy rubbed his head.

"I wonder if this counts as him walking right into a trap!"
