Gaia: Damn, who are you trying to scare?

Thump~

Caesar and Baccarat watched nervously as Chaos ate the entire Soul-Soul Fruit. Before they could even ask him anything, Chaos closed his eyes and fell to the ground.

Baccarat and Caesar were terrified.

This was bad!

Something had gone terribly wrong.

"Boss?"

Baccarat crouched down and lifted Chaos, but his eyes were tightly shut, and he looked just like a corpse.

In that instant,

Baccarat's face went pale.

The others were still frantic, but they all fell silent.

"How is he?"
