Xi Yan's Speechless Fury: What the Hell Are You Three Bastards Thinking?!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"With those two brothers helping out, the Straw Hat Pirates are no problem at all!"

Looking at Caesar, who was grinning wildly, Law glanced at him and said, "Don't underestimate that group."

Although the two brothers were quite strong in the snowy mountains, it was still unlikely that they could defeat the Straw Hat Pirates, whose total bounty exceeded one billion.

So... it would be best to let that bastard Vergo do it.

This way... he'll also have a chance to kill that guy quietly!!

However, Luo clearly had no intention of revealing this idea, as doing so would easily expose that he knew this information.

"Of course I didn't underestimate them, otherwise I wouldn't have sent those two brothers," Caesar said calmly.

Luo merely chuckled in response and said nothing more.

Ultimately, this guy underestimated the Straw Hat Crew.

Well, this won't do me any harm.

' The Straw Hat Crew...'

As if he had just thought of something, Luo slowly lowered his head, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Speaking of which..." Monet said, holding his notebook, "They're just like Luo, the worst generation, aren't they?"

"The World Government's surveillance of them is no less than that of Blackbeard."

"So?" Luo asked calmly.

"You should know them quite well," Monet said, looking at Luo meaningfully. "After all, you met in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"They even fought their way out of No. 1 Auction House together, and broke through the Navy's Surrounding Circle together."

"I... I'm right, aren't I?"

Upon hearing Monet's words, Caesar's expression immediately changed.

He turned to look at Law, and seeing that Law didn't react, he took out the weapon loaded with Seastone Bullets from his waist, pointed it at Law, and said, "Law, you didn't call the Straw Hat Crew here, did you?"

Otherwise, why would these guys be here?

Upon seeing Caesar's action, Monet's muscles tensed, clearly indicating that he was ready to make a move.

If Law shows any unusual behavior... she will join forces with Caesar to kill him!

However, Luo remained calm despite the reactions of the two.

"Didn't I already say?" Luo said calmly, "I had no idea they'd been taken to the research institute until I encountered them at the Great Gate."

"Otherwise, I would definitely warn you."

"Warning us?" Caesar frowned. "Warning us about what?!"

"It's about the Straw Hat Pirates, of course," Law said calmly. "With their strength, a mere steel prison wouldn't be enough to hold them."

Even if the Straw Hat Pirates' strongest fighter wasn't there, it would still be the same.

After all... this is a pirate crew that managed to fight their way out of a place like Judicial Island!

Could there be any weak members in a pirate crew like this?

Stop joking, okay?!

Caesar stared intently at Luo for a while, his mind involuntarily recalling the words Luo had spoken when they first met.

Thinking about it carefully, Law doesn't seem like the type to act recklessly.

Besides... there's no benefit to taking action here.

Thinking this, Caesar lowered his weapon and said, "That's true. If you really wanted to call your companions, things wouldn't have gotten so bad."

A guy who curries favor with the World Government to become Shichibukai wouldn't let things get any worse after he secretly came here.

After all... this doesn't do Luo any good.

"I'm sorry," Caesar said.

"It's good that the misunderstanding has been cleared up," Luo said calmly.

Caesar smiled upon hearing this, then returned to his seat, picked up the juice beside him, took a sip, and his expression became somewhat relaxed.

"What did you mean when you said that the kid from the Biscuit House would come back even if left unattended?" Luo looked up and glanced at Caesar.

"Oh, you mean this?"

Caesar chuckled and pulled a candy from his pocket, saying, "I feed them this poisoned candy every day. Just one lick and the Poisonous Gas fills their mouth, making them... whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"They're completely hooked now!"

"And this thing is only available to me!"

"So... they'll definitely come here!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Once we grasp this, those children will definitely come back here!

So he's not in a hurry at all.

Whoosh!

Seeing Caesar's expression, Law subconsciously frowned and said, "What a wicked guy..."

You remind me of someone.

As he spoke, Doflamingo's image flashed through Law's mind.

That bastard is just like Caesar!

Hearing Luo's words, Monet's eyes flickered, clearly indicating that he had guessed something.

Then, she looked at Luo, who had picked up a weapon and was walking outside, and asked, "What are you planning to do?"

"The Vice Admiral came to our area this time has disappeared. I suspect he might be hiding somewhere on the island, so I plan to investigate," Luo said calmly. "It's too dangerous for a guy like him to be hiding on the island; we must get rid of him as soon as possible."

"How reliable!" Monet said with a smile.

"After all, this guy is Vice Admiral, so we can't just ignore him." Luo, who had reached the door, said, "If your men find him, they can tell me his location."

"I'll take him down then."

The next moment, the Great Gate slammed shut, and Luo was gone forever.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"Has this guy discovered something?" Caesar, staring at the soundproof Great Gate, narrowed his eyes and said, "Smart guys are always hard to deal with."

I wonder what this guy discovered.

"He probably didn't realize that the Vice Admiral came here was Vergo," Monet said calmly, adjusting his glasses. "Otherwise, given his personality, he definitely wouldn't have done nothing."

After all... Vergo was the culprit who killed Corazon!

"You know him so well?" Caesar asked in surprise. "You've never even met him."

This is something Monet himself admitted to.

"I've never met him, but..." Monet's lips curled into a smile, "Young Master knows him."

The young master said that if Luo knew that the person who came here was Vergo, the other party would definitely not be able to remain calm!

So... she wasn't worried about it.

"So it seems Law didn't find out who came this time from those marines." Caesar nodded, then said, "By the way, where did that guy go?"

"After he arrived here with the navy, he quietly slipped away from the naval ranks," Monet said. "Now... he's staying in area B2 of our research institute."

"Won't we be exposed?" Caesar asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, I won't let Luo see him," Monet said, pushing up her glasses.

This is their last line of defense, so... it has to be hidden well!

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"That's really reliable."

Caesar smiled and nodded, clearly very pleased with Monet's actions.

He loves this feeling of security!

"However, Luo is ultimately a bit unreliable," Caesar said. "So let's have Vergo keep a close eye on things."

If you notice anything unusual about Law... then crush his heart!

Whoosh!

"Don't worry," Monet said, "I've already given Luo's heart to him, so there won't be any problems."

This is another reason why she feels very reassured.

Luo's heart is in Vergo's hands, so even if he's discovered, he can kill Luo in time!

This time, Caesar simply nodded and said nothing more.

With Luo's heart in there, that guy can't cause any trouble!

Whoosh!

"What about those navy men outside?" Monet asked. "According to reports from below, we haven't seen any navy corpses outside. I think... Law probably just cut them up and left them there."

"Isn't this exactly what I wanted?" Caesar said with a smirk. "I can use their lives to test my most precious treasure!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

The thought of what fate awaited those guys made Caesar tremble with excitement.

What he develops will surely be the best killing weapon!

Whoosh!

With this material, he was confident that even more people in the underground world would buy his weapons!

Whoosh!

"It seems we'll be able to see the weapon's power this time," Monet said, adjusting his glasses.

"That's natural."

Caesar nodded, then said, "By the way, how's it going with the man I asked you to send to release him?"

"Don't worry, someone has already taken care of it."

Monet calmly pushed up his glasses and said, "I reckon that guy will be released soon."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"Here you go!"

Caesar stood up, opened his arms, and said, "Let us witness this mad feast together!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Seeing Caesar's crazed expression, Monet's lips unconsciously curled into a smile.

However, her joy stemmed from something different from Caesar's; she thought such a weapon would be useful to the young master!

Hopefully, this item will bring the young master sufficient benefits...

Unbeknownst to the two, Luo Zheng stood at the end of the corridor, his eyes filled with icy killing intent.

' Vergo...'

This time, let's settle both our old and new scores!

Meanwhile, on the other side...

In a snow-covered mountain region, Xi Yan and his companions are diligently searching for the warrior's body.

"Hey~"

"Sir Samurai, where are you?!" Brook shouted. "Answer me if you hear my voice!"

Brook shouted very loudly, but unfortunately... there was no response.

"Strange, is he running that fast?"

"If only we could find his clogs' footprints," Zoro said, looking around. "That way we could follow them to find him."

"How is this possible?"

Sanji said, "The snow is so heavy here, the footprints will be covered up quickly."

"Then let's try using Observation Haki," Brook said. "Can you sense that guy's presence?"

Sanji stopped in his tracks upon hearing this, closed his eyes to carefully sense his presence, and then said, "No, I can't sense his aura."

Brook:!!!

Upon hearing Sanji's words, Brook looked shocked and said, "Is that guy already dead?"

Were they taken down so quickly?

"Hey, can't you say something nice?!" Sanji roared, his shark mouth agape. "If he really dies, then it'll be my responsibility!"

That bastard will feel guilty for the rest of his life!

Brook scratched his afro upon hearing this. What he said was true, but... if he wasn't dead, why couldn't Sanji sense him?

As if sensing Brook's confusion, Sanji said unhappily, "It must be because my Observation Haki range isn't that wide, which is why I couldn't sense his presence."

And what about you?

Brook glanced at Xi Yan and said, "Can you sense that guy's aura?"

"Although my Observation Haki has a very wide range, I haven't deliberately tried to record that guy's aura, so I can't guarantee whether I can find him." Xi Yan frowned and said, "I'll give it a try."

After saying that, Xi Yan closed his eyes and began to carefully sense his surroundings. He then discovered a familiar aura in one of the areas.

"This feeling is..."

Xi Yan opened his eyes and said, "I think I've found that guy."

"The other party's aura is similar to the lower body I sensed near the volcano."

When he sensed that bird-man earlier, he specifically used Observation Haki to scan the surroundings.

Although I didn't consciously try to remember the scent of that lower body, I still had a vague impression of it.

"Really?" Sanji's eyes lit up immediately. "Where?"

"In that area."

Xi Yan pointed to the large mountain to the side and said, "It's not far from the central area."

After glancing in the direction Xi Yan was pointing, Sanji was immediately rendered speechless.

Then, a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, "Why is this guy running so fast...?"

The other party only ran out a short while ago, but they've already reached the central area?

Is this really that outrageous?

"Perhaps he ran in a different direction than us," Xi Yan said.

For example, that guy ran to the top of the mountain and then rolled all the way down...

Well, it's not impossible.

"Forget it, let's find that guy first." Sanji straightened up and said, "Then we'll go find Trafalgar Law and get our bodies back!"

After saying that, Sanji prepared to run in the direction that Xi Yan had pointed.

Before he could make a move, he heard Brook's voice from the side.

"Hey, you three, come take a look!" Brook shouted. "Look at this footprint!"

"Footprint?"

Sanji paused for a moment, then said speechlessly, "We've already found that guy's location, why are we still looking for footprints?"

"No, these aren't footprints from wooden clogs..."

"Those are centaur footprints, aren't they?" Sanji waved his hand dismissively and said, "No need to worry about that."

"No, it's not a centaur!" Brook exclaimed excitedly, "Centaur footprints couldn't be this huge!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan and the other two were stunned for a moment, and then approached Brook with puzzled expressions.

"These footprints are indeed quite large..." Xi Yan asked in surprise, "Could there really be Giant Clan here?"

Could those enormous little brats really be descendants of the Giant Clan?

Otherwise, there would be no way to explain this footprint.

Sanji and Zoro looked surprised; could this huge footprint be...?

"No, this can't be Giant Clan!" Brook said firmly.

"Not Giant Clan?"

Xi Yan paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "What is that?"

"Of course, they're the Snowman's footprints!" Brook exclaimed excitedly. "The legendary Snowman, the romance of humankind!"

Upon hearing Brook's words, Zoro and Sanji both showed excited expressions, as if they were recalling some kind of scene.

Xi Yan:???

Having taken in the expressions of the three of them, Xi Yan was speechless.

Seriously, what are you three bastards even thinking?!
