The Poison's Already Too Much to Bear

"Shurorororo!"

In a ravine in the basin, Caesar floated in midair, looking down at the sea of pirates and thugs surrounding him. Especially the thirteen Headliners at their forefront. He wasn't the least bit worried about being surrounded. On the contrary, he was excited.

The thirteen Headliners and the countless pirate thugs, however, were furious and terrified.

"Ah!"

"Help!"

"Somebody, save me!"

Below Caesar, nearly a thousand pirate thugs were screaming in agony. Dark liquid clung to their bodies, eating away at their flesh and draining their lives.

The liquid seemed to be alive. It even had eyes and mouths.

In the blink of an eye, a thousand men had fallen.

Most of them had died within a minute. Only a few of the tougher ones were still alive, screaming in agony.

"Damn it!"

"That's living poison!"

"Even the fumes are poisonous. If we get close..."

The thirteen Headliners were helpless, their eyes full of wariness.

The rest of the pirate thugs didn't dare approach, either.

"Shurorororo~"

"Poison!"

"Father!"

All the poison came together, forming a dark mass that floated in front of Caesar, its face twisted with malice.

"Poison Rain!"

"Yes!"

At Caesar's command, the poison shot into the sky. Its body swelled violently before it unleashed a downpour of dark droplets, blanketing the pirates below like black rain.

"Get out of the way!"

"Damn it!"

The pirates' faces turned green at the sight of the falling droplets.

If they got caught in that rain, they were as good as dead.

Even Armament Haki wouldn't protect them. They'd just watched the thousand men below burn through their Haki and die from the poison. Their deaths had been excruciating.

"What do we do?"

"That's despicable!"

As they dodged, the Headliners racked their brains for a solution.

Their opponent didn't even
