Caesar

boom.

An explosion rang out, followed by a sound in the distance.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Caesar arrived at the lab, he looked into the distance and said, "That looks like the direction of Monet? What happened?"

"Go out and see what happened?"

He was puzzled and ordered his men to go and take a look, but the moment the door opened, a shadow flashed and appeared in front of Caesar, throwing a punch.

boom.

Caesar couldn't dodge at all and was sent flying, spitting out blood.

"So fast, and he's a user of Armament Haki."

The opponent appeared in front of him instantly, and before he could even react, he was struck. Moreover, the attack hit his physical body, indicating that the opponent possessed Armament Haki.

Caesar flew backward, his body trying to disintegrate into gas, but before he could regain his footing, the figure attacked again.

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Caesar was hit by countless punches and couldn't react at all. Moreover, each punch hit his physical body, leaving him powerless to resist.

Thump.

Caesar was slammed against the wall, then punched in the head and passed out.

"It's solved."

After Caesar fell to the ground, the tall figure stopped moving, pulled off the mask from his face, and revealed himself to Heckle.

His target was Caesar. He knew Caesar's ability beforehand: he was a Gas-Gas Devil Fruit User could turn into gas, so he was careful.

So Heckle put on the prepared mask and took advantage of the door opening to sneak in and launch a surprise attack. His speed was so great that Caesar's reaction time was simply no match for him.

With the addition of Armament Haki, Caesar was knocked unconscious by Heckle.

At that moment, with a loud bang, the building shook, and the entire base trembled.

"Is it Alken?"

Heckle looked into the distance, did nothing, and instead dragged Caesar away from the house.

"Lord Caesar."

Upon seeing Heckle, who had captured Caesar, Caesar's men immediately pounced and attacked Heckle.

Many of these subordinates were once renowned pirates, varying in strength. They had all been saved by Caesar and considered him their benefactor. In particular, some of the pirates were injured and healed by Caesar, for which they were extremely grateful to both Law and Caesar.

Therefore, in order to save Caesar, they launched an attack with all their might.

Fists, longswords, and bullets all hurtled towards Heckle.

boom.

Heckle's body instantly hardened, rendering the impacts completely ineffective.

"Shave."

Heckle vanished instantly, reappearing among the crowd, and then unleashed a flurry of attacks with both hands, unleashing "Endless Shigan".

His hands transformed into afterimages, stabbing out in an instant.

When he thrust out again, his arm felt lighter and faster, imbued with Armament Haki, making him invincible.

Thump, thump.

Under his attacks, figures were pierced by his Shigan and fell to the ground one after another.

Swoosh.

Heckle returned to his original spot, grabbed Caesar, and continued forward.

After defeating more than a dozen people, Heckle heard the sound of bombing in the distance. He walked over, turned the corner, and saw the woman lying on the ground and Alken standing there.

"Are you done too?"

Alken looked at Heckle and said helplessly, "I thought I was the first one."

"Let's go."

Heckle said softly, "Let's go find Mr. Christmas. I wonder if he's convinced Law."

"No need, I'm right here."

A voice rang out, and a door opened in the air, from which Luo and Mr. Christmas walked out.

"You guys were able to take down these two people so quickly, you must be very strong."

Luo looked at the two figures on the ground and his expression turned serious. He had left with Mr. Christmas and arrived here just in time to see Alken knock down Monet, while Heckle brought Caesar.

The time from the explosion to now is extremely short, and the fact that they were able to defeat two people so quickly shows that they are very strong.

"I didn't expect the president of Baroque Works to come here in person," Luo said, looking at Heckle.

Heckle shook his head and said, "I'm not the president."

"Isn't that so?"

Luo frowned slightly. He had read the related reports that Heckle, as the president of Baroque Works, was wanted. "Could it be that Ace is the president?"

"No."

Heckle said, "Ace is a member, I'm just the president's follower. As for the president, he's waiting for you on the North Coast."

"So that's how it is."

Luo was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the government's two-year investigation had been wrong.

Heckle looked at Alken and asked, "Did you let Monet make the call?"

"It's already been launched."

Alken laughed and said, "I only beat her after she finished the call, which is why I was a little slower than you."

"Monet made the phone call?"

Law frowned. "Then Doflamingo..."

"We made her make the call so that he would send someone over. If he does, we won't have to go through all the trouble of killing him."

"So all we need to do now is wait for the next person to be sent here," Heckle said calmly.

"I think I understand what you're going to do."

Luo nodded and looked at the two people lying on the ground, saying, "These two must be brought under control."

Heckle asked, "Are there any Seastone Handcuffs here?"

"No need, I can remove their hearts."

Luo looked at Caesar and Monet, then suddenly drew his long sword and stabbed Caesar in the heart.

puff.

Law's sword pierced Caesar's heart, then sheathed it. With a flick of his right hand, Caesar's heart appeared in Law's hand.

"Here you go."

Luo handed Caesar's heart to Heckle and then said, "Come with me to the monitoring room. We can see what's going on around us. And when he wakes up, I need to know where my heart is."

Luo walked away into the distance, while Heckle handed the heart to Mr. Christmas, who then took out Den Den Mushi and reported the news from here.

"It has been completed as planned."

On the north coast of Punk Hazard, Ace looked at Xia Qiu and said, "Law has agreed to cooperate. Caesar and Monet have been captured. Once the news gets out, Doflamingo will probably send someone, or he might come here in person. Law doesn't plan to come here to find us for the time being. They asked us if we wanted to meet up with them?"

"Don't go there yet."

Xia Qiu shook his head and said, "To prevent any spies from revealing our presence, we'll wait here and see who Doflamingo sends."

Once exposed, Doflamingo probably won't send anyone here, but I'm still a long way from Doflamingo's level.

He needed his subordinates to increase his strength, so he could only attack them separately.

So we need to wait a bit longer. Doflamingo can't possibly give up on this place; he'll at least send one of his top executives here.

Monet is a cadre of the Heart Pirates. This place is not far from the G5 Branch base. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be Vergo, the highest-ranking cadre of the Heart Pirates, who will arrive.

He excels in Haki, coupled with formidable physical skills, and possesses a great deal of Reinforcement Energy.

After eating him, I'll be able to face Doflamingo directly.

"Hurry up."

Xia Qiu are already impatiently approaching.
