Logia Ability Users Are Truly Troublesome

"I wonder if Caesar is still where he was just now," Franky, whose legs had transformed into treadmills, said, stroking his chin. "If he's not, finding him won't be an easy task."

After all, that guy is a Gas-Gas Devil Fruit User, capable of turning into gas and hiding.

"Ah?"

Luffy, perched on his shoulder, paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in disbelief, "Is there any possibility that guy will escape?"

"It's just a possibility."

After Franky finished speaking, he looked up at the Great Gate in front of him and continued, "But whether it is or not, we'll find out when we get to the Great Gate."

"The Great Gate..."

Understanding what Franky meant, Franky looked up and focused his gaze on the steel Great Gate in front of him.

Soon, under Franky's guidance, the two arrived at the Great Gate.

Then, Franky pressed the switch on the Great Gate.

"Squeak~"

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

As the Great Gate opened, Luffy and his companion saw Caesar standing inside!

"Caesar!"

The moment Luffy saw Caesar, his expression changed immediately.

Without hesitation, he rushed to Caesar and threw a punch, his fist brimming with Haki.

"Bump!"

"Ah!"

Caesar screamed in agony upon being hit, and his body flew uncontrollably backward.

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

Monet, who witnessed the entire scene, subconsciously frowned and said, "The Straw Hat?"

"I didn't expect you to find this place so quickly."

This was quite unexpected.

"And what about me!" Franky shouted.

After saying that, Franky rushed to Monet's side, intending to subdue the woman first.

But when he rushed to the other side, he was dumbfounded, because the other side could fly!

Franky:...

"Hehe, I can't let you catch me," Monet said with a chuckle.

Although she didn't know if the other party would be Haki, she wasn't going to gamble.

After all... losing a bet can easily lead to death!

"I should have Nami or Perona instead," Franky said, sounding a bit annoyed.

To deal with flying enemies, it's best to let flying people handle it.

"Then you can go and switch them over," Monet said with a smile. "I can wait for you here."

"That won't do."

Franky shook his head and said, "How could I possibly abandon the captain and leave?"

If you had known about this before coming here, changing your plans wouldn't have been a problem.

But since a fight has already broken out, there's no need for it!

"Then you should try," Monet said, staring at Franky. "See if you can defeat me."

Without hesitation, Monet unleashed her Devil Fruit power, creating a gigantic ice Ice Cone!

"Whoosh~"

"Clang!"

"Um?"

Franky, who had dodged the attack with a step back, asked in surprise, "This is... snow?"

"You're Devil Fruit User?"

"That's right~"

Monet, hovering in mid-air, smiled and said, "I'm Snow Woman ate the Logia Snow-Snow Fruit ~"

"Is it a Logia...?"

Franky's expression immediately turned serious.

He's not Haki.

Taking down a Logia ability user under these circumstances is not an easy task.

Unless he can get his hands on the Sea Stone chains!

'It's a pity that Law's ability can't transfer Sea Stone in, otherwise he could have used the Sea Stone chains to capture this guy,' Franky thought with some annoyance.

"Don't you have any sense of 'Haki' attitude?"

Monet said with a smile, "This is great news for me!"

After smiling, Monet began to make snow fall in the area where Franky was, and at the same time, his body disappeared from the spot.

"They've become Elementalization and hidden away...?" Franky frowned.

It seems that eliminating this kind of enemy is no easy task.

Luffy looked at the spot where Monet had just been standing with some surprise and said, "Another Logia?"

Why are there so many Logia ability user here?

He was holding one in his hand, and this other guy was another one.

"Let go of me, Straw Hat!" Caesar glared angrily at Luffy, who was holding him, and said, "Let go of your filthy hands!"

"That won't do." Luffy grinned. "I finally managed to catch you, how could I..."

Before Luffy could finish speaking, he suddenly found himself surrounded by flames, forcing him to release his grip on Caesar and quickly retreat to avoid the attack.

"Combustion type!"

"Mio Kwas!"

"Boom!!"

The next moment, a terrifying explosion of flames erupted around Caesar, rushing towards Luffy who had been charging away, and finally forcing Luffy to stop right next to Franky.

"Flame?"

Looking at the still-burning flames beside him, several question marks immediately popped into Franky's head.

This guy who plays with gas can also play with fire?

No, how come anyone can play with fire these days?

Monet sighed somewhat helplessly.

If the other party plays with fire like this, how can she use her abilities?

'What a reckless guy...'

"Straw Hat!"

Caesar, who had landed above the two, frowned and looked down at Luffy, saying, "Why are you targeting me like this?"

"I don't know the reason, but I know something interesting will happen after I catch you, so I'm going to do it!"

"Ha?"

"What a strange reason!"

Caesar looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression. What did he mean by "something interesting will happen after we capture him"?

This person is sick in the head.

Then Caesar seemed to understand something, and with a look of Satori realization, said, "I know, you've formed an alliance with that guy Law, haven't you?"

"It was that guy Luo who told you to do this, right!"

"That guy is not trustworthy; he will definitely betray you, so you should just give up!"

"I'll make my own judgment!" Luffy roared. "Right now, I'm going to grab you!"

After saying that, Luffy charged towards Caesar in the air without hesitation.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Caesar roared, "Since that's the case, then I'll let you suffer a little longer!"

"Let's try this move again, the World of No Air!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, Caesar activated his Devil Fruit power and sucked away all the air around Luffy!

"Damn it, that trick again..."

Luffy, realizing he couldn't breathe, immediately turned pale.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"That's right, the feeling of not being able to breathe is awful, isn't it?" Caesar grinned maliciously, "Just obediently lose consciousness like this!"

This time, he won't give the Straw Hat a second chance!

He's going to kill this guy outright!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

Just then, Franky's steel arm flew down from below, grabbed Luffy in mid- Luffy, and dragged him out of the area where he couldn't breathe.

"Ah!"

"It's air!"

Upon feeling the oxygen, Luffy immediately began to breathe heavily, exclaiming, "Finally, I can breathe again!"

"Thank you, Franky."

That feeling of not being able to breathe was so unbearable.

"Fine."

Franky shook his head first, then stared at Caesar and said, "This guy is really not easy to deal with."

It's a pity he doesn't know Haki, otherwise he could have helped Luffy.

"Cyborg?"

Caesar stared at Franky's arm with interest and said, "You're more interesting than I thought."

At that moment, Caesar felt a strong desire to know more about Franky.

He really wanted to dissect this guy to see what his body was like.

As if sensing the malice in Caesar's eyes, Franky frowned and said, "Your gaze is really annoying."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"I actually quite like your eyes," Caesar said with a smile, staring at Franky. "Once I catch you, I'll dissect you!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Upon hearing this, Franky's expression immediately changed.

This guy really is an evil scientist!

Luffy angrily retorted, "I won't allow you to hurt my crewmates!"

After saying that, Luffy charged towards Caesar without hesitation.

"Haven't you suffered enough?!" Caesar sneered. "Then try again!"

"World of No Air!"

"Buzz~"

The next moment, the air in the area where Luffy was located was once again sucked out by Caesar!

Seeing Luffy, Caesar sneered and said, "Straw Hat, you're no match for me!"

"Just surrender obediently!"

"That won't do..." Luffy said with difficulty, "I still need to catch you!"

After saying that, Luffy quickly retreated from the empty room and returned to Franky's side.

It was precisely because of this that Luffy was able to feel the existence of air again.

"Huff... huff..."

After taking a few deep breaths, Luffy said, "I see. I roughly know the range of your abilities now."

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"Has it been discovered?"

"Of course!"

Luffy replied without hesitation, "I wasn't paying much attention when Franky dragged me out, so I don't know the size of the area."

"But this time I ran out on my own, so I naturally know how big the area is."

"That's true, but... can you maintain this distance?" Caesar tilted his head and said, "This distance is very difficult to control, you know."

Looking at Luffy staring at him from below, Caesar's face revealed a confident smile.

To effectively strike him, the Straw Hat must enter his power range!

The price of entering that range is gradual suffocation!

So... Straw Hat, what are you going to do?

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~

At this moment, Caesar was brimming with confidence!

"Say what you will, as long as I know this distance, things will be much easier," Luffy said.

After saying that, Luffy activated Second Gear without hesitation.

Second Gear!

"Sizzle sizzle~"

With white smoke Luffy from his body, Luffy activated Shave without hesitation and vanished from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already in front of Caesar.

Caesar was startled by the sight; so fast?

"No space..."

"Rubber Jet Pistol!"

"Bump!!"

Before Caesar could even activate his powers, Luffy punched Caesar squarely in the stomach, sending him flying backward.

"Ah!"

"Ouch, that bastard!!!"

Caesar, struck in the abdomen, was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face.

When has a scientist like him ever suffered like this?

"Isn't this quite effective?" Franky laughed and said, "Well done, Luffy, just knock him out like that!"

"Profound!"

Luffy nodded as he landed on the ground, then charged towards Caesar without hesitation.

"Rubber... Rocket Cannon!"

"Boom!!"

"Huh?"

Luffy was stunned when he saw the Snow Wall that suddenly appeared in front of him and blocked his attack.

Where did the Snow Wall come from?

"It's that woman!"

Franky frowned as he looked at Monet, who had appeared beside Caesar at some point, and said, "She's Snow-Snow Fruit User."

"What a hassle," Luffy muttered.

It seems that capturing this guy will not be an easy task.

"You're already very impressive, Straw Hat ~" Monet said with a smile from mid-air, "Ordinary pirates can't break through this move of mine."

After speaking, Monet glanced at the shattered snow wall again, his eyes filled with emotion.

No wonder he's a pirate with a bounty of 500 million Beli.

"You wretched Straw Hat!" Caesar roared angrily as he burst out of the snow, "I'm going to kill you!"

"Please wait a moment, Master~"

Monet, who landed next to Caesar, said with a smile, "This is a pointless battle, so please leave."

Caesar paused for a moment upon hearing this, then grinned and said, "That's true."

"The important experiment is only halfway done; we can't waste time here!"

Monet's reminder made him realize what he needed to do, so there was no need to waste time here.

After letting out a cold laugh, Caesar floated into the air, intending to leave first.

"Are you planning to run away?" Luffy shouted.

"Of course," Caesar said without hesitation, "There's no point in staying here to fight you, so I don't intend to stay either."

Goodbye, Straw Hat, Steel Man!

Having said that, Caesar turned into gas and disappeared without hesitation.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

A shell blasted into the area where Caesar and Monet were, shattering all the snowflakes there!

Unfortunately... there was no way to keep them here.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Caesar, who had arrived at the door, turned back to Luffy and Franky with a mocking look and said, "You two can stay here and have some fun!"

"I'll deal with you all later!"

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

After saying this, Caesar's body turned into gas and quickly disappeared from the spot.

"Hateful..."

Franky's face immediately turned grim upon realizing the other party had escaped. He said, "What do we do, Luffy?"

"Of course we're going after that guy!" Luffy said without hesitation. "We absolutely can't let him get away!"

This was a promise he made to Tra-man, so... he absolutely had to catch that Caesar guy!

"That won't do!"

Monet, who had reformed her body on the open ground, looked at Luffy with a smile and said, "I can't let you two go to your Quasi-Master ~"

After saying that, Monet unhesitatingly released his Devil Fruit power, closing the Great Gate of the house with ice and snow.

Then, freeze it!!

After doing this, Monet's smile widened even more.

In this way, the two of them will have no way to chase Caesar!

"Alright, what should we do with you guys next?"

Monet slowly narrowed his eyes as he looked at the two men staring intently at him.
