Xi Yan says, kill Caesar right now

"Luffy, this country may seem peaceful on the surface, but deep down it hides an incredibly terrifying darkness," Franky said seriously. "This darkness is so terrifying that it's impossible to look directly at it."

"And these Tontatta are now planning to fight Doflamingo to the death in order to break this darkness!"

"Although she's small in stature... she's incredibly brave!"

"They dared to challenge those filthy and enormous enemies; they were an incredibly brave army of little men!"

"I can't abandon them like this!"

These little guys taught Franky what responsibility and commitment meant, so he couldn't abandon them and leave.

Franky then said, "And... would it be more advantageous for us to let Doflamingo win?"

The answer is clearly no!

Franky paused for a moment, then said with an extremely serious expression, "Luffy!"

"No matter what you say, I'm going to take care of these little guys!"

"Franky..."

Seeing Franky's serious expression yet tears streaming down his face, Usopp opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Was this man really that shocked by these Tontatta?

After hearing Franky's words, Luffy unconsciously recalled the things Rebecca had said to him before.

[The Soldier will die...]

After taking a deep breath, Luffy snatched the Den Den Mushi from Xi Yan's hand and said, "Franky, go for it!"

"We'll be there soon too!"

"Profound!"

"Sorry," Franky grinned, "I'll have to ask you guys to indulge me this once in a while."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Xi Yan laughed loudly. "We're the Straw Hat Pirates!"

They're a team, so naturally they have to work together when it comes to doing things.

Franky laughed even harder upon hearing this. Having such a group of companions in his life, he could die without regrets.

"I have no intention of letting that Mingo Doflamingo get away with this!" Luffy said angrily. "That bastard dared to hurt Sanji, I'm definitely going to beat him to a pulp!"

He's always remembered this, so he's going to teach that bastard Doflamingo a lesson!

Sanji felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this; this was the Luffy.

Then, he grinned and said, "Alright, let's Return to the ship then."

Since we've decided to fight Doflamingo, there's nothing more to say; let's fight them side by side.

As for that Marine Admiral in Dressrosa?

If the other party intends to interfere in their battle with Doflamingo, then let Xi Yan deal with that guy.

Anyway, with Xi Yan's strength, blocking the opponent shouldn't be a problem.

"In that case, let's kill Caesar first," Xi Yan said in a deep voice.

Since they were already planning to kill Doflamingo anyway, there was no need for Caesar, the evil scientist, to stay alive; they could just kill him.

"Huh?"

"Eh!!!"

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Caesar was stunned. He then immediately knelt at Sanji's feet, tears streaming down his face, and cried out, "No! I'm still useful!"

"Keep me around, I can still be used as a bargaining chip!"

"I'm very valuable!"

At this point, Caesar was truly afraid, especially after seeing the change in Sanji's eyes; he became even more terrified.

This guy's got murderous intent!

"I don't think there's a problem." Nami glanced coldly at Caesar and said, "That guy really deserves to die."

After learning that this guy was experimenting on children, Nami felt he deserved to die, so she strongly agreed with Xi Yan's idea.

There's no need for this Caesar to stay.

Chopper, on the other hand, looked at Caesar with utter disdain. If it really came down to killing this guy, he wouldn't object.

"Why don't we just throw it into the sea? Hehehehe~" Brook laughed.

This guy is Devil Fruit User, so throwing him into the ocean will kill him.

"No, please..."

With tears streaming down his face, Caesar said, "I'm still useful. I can help you make weapons."

He hasn't surpassed Vegapunk to become the world's greatest scientist yet; he doesn't want to die.

Unfortunately, such words meant nothing to the Straw Hat Pirates at this point, since they didn't need someone like Caesar to create any weapons of mass destruction for them.

So... Caesar could indeed die.

"Then let's throw this guy into the sea," Sanji said.

As he spoke, he stood up and walked step by step toward Caesar.

This action startled Caesar so much that he fell to the ground and slowly backed away.

"Joker, come save me!"

"He doesn't have time to save you right now," Xi Yan said. "This guy is still fighting Luo."

I wonder if Law can actually kill Doflamingo. If he could, Doflamingo wouldn't need to Luffy-chan and beat him up.

"Damn it, that bastard Luo!" Caesar suddenly jumped up, gritting his teeth as he said, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have ended up like this..."

He froze before he could finish speaking, then, as if he had discovered something, a look of utter horror crossed his face.

"B... B... B..."

"What the hell are you talking about?" Nami looked at Caesar speechlessly. Did this guy think he could survive by saying something like that?

Thinking of this, she was about to say something more, but before she could open her mouth, she noticed a huge pirate ship appearing behind the Thousand Sunny.

"Huh?"

"Eh!!!"

"BIG MOM!!!"

Nami was stunned by the sight of the sail bearing the words "BIG MOM" written in large letters.

Why would they encounter the Big Mom Pirates here?

Wasn't Katakuri lured away by Ace?

What's with this huge pirate ship?

"BIG MOM?" Xi Yan's expression changed. "Are you sure?"

"It's confirmed, it's Big Mom's pirate ship!" Sanji said with a grim expression. "And the biggest one at that."

"If I remember correctly, this ship is called the Queen Big Mom Queen Mama Chanter, and it's Big Mom's personal ship!"

During his two years of training, he had also learned about this kind of information, so he easily recognized the pirate ship.

"What?"

Luffy's expression changed too. Sanji had encountered Big Mom herself?

"Hey, are you kidding me?!" Brook said, tears streaming down his face. "Why would Four Emperors's ship be here?"

"Hey, there's a song coming from the bow of the boat."

Chopper pointed at the bow of the ship that was constantly singing, and he was completely stunned.

Why does a pirate ship sing on its prow?

What kind of Devil Fruit User made this?

"Hey, Sanji, was Big Mom here too?" Luffy asked anxiously.

"I don't know if she came or not, but this is definitely her vehicle," Sanji said. "Also, those two people we met on Fish-Man Island are in there too."

As he spoke, Sanji stared intently at Pekoms and Baron Tamago, his face extremely grim.

"Big Mom!"

Pekoms, who was observing the situation aboard the Thousand Sunny through his binoculars, shouted, "I see Caesar! He's on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship!"

"So they really are in their hands," Baron Tamago grinned.

It was worth it for Big Mom to personally lead the team here.

Then, he turned to look at Pekoms and said, "Sink this ship, and take only Caesar with you."

As for the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates?

To them, these guys were just small fry, nothing to worry about.

"Gaoh!"

"Then let's sink them!"

"Profound!"

Upon receiving the order, the henchmen immediately roared and then turned to move weapons and ammunition.

Ignoring his underlings' reactions, Baron Tamago continued, "I wonder how Katakuri is doing."

After receiving the news that Katakuri couldn't come to Dressrosa, his Big Mom, who was traveling nearby, personally led the group over.

"I guess the outcome will be decided soon," Pekoms guessed.

Although that guy named Ace is the Son of the Pirate King, his bounty has never reached one billion, so Pekoms felt that he couldn't possibly be a match for Katakuri.

This time, Baron Tamago simply nodded and said nothing more.

He then turned his attention to the Thousand Sunny, intending to savor the spectacular moment when the pirate ship was blasted to pieces.

"Oh no, oh no, what do we do now?" Usopp said anxiously, "The Big Mom Pirates are no pushovers!"

"Luffy, it's definitely because you messed with Big Mom that this happened."

Usopp pondered for a moment and concluded that it must be because Luffy's actions on Fish-Man Island had angered Big Mom, which was why she personally led her team to Dressrosa to cause them trouble.

"No, their target seems to be Caesar," Sanji said.

"Caesar?"

Nicole Robin asked in bewilderment, "Why him?"

Could it be that Big Mom is also interested in Artificial Devil Fruit?

"I don't know." Sanji shook his head, then looked coldly at Caesar and said, "You evil scientist are quite popular, aren't you? Even Four Emperors Crew came to save you."

"No... no, that's not true!"

Caesar stared in horror at the enormous pirate ship and exclaimed, "They're not here to rescue me!"

"Ha?"

Sanji stared at Caesar with a completely bewildered expression. What was with that reaction?

They weren't there to rescue him... so why were they calling his name?

Could it be... that they've also come to kill him?

"Please don't let BGI MOM capture me!" Caesar exclaimed excitedly. "Otherwise, they'll torture me horribly, and even death won't be a luxury."

Caesar knew very well how such a pirate crew would treat a fraudster, so he was terrified of being captured.

Of course, staying would also mean being killed, but given this unexpected situation, the Straw Hat Pirates might not have the chance to help him, and that's his chance to survive!

"What exactly did you do?" Chopper asked, puzzled.

"I cheated them out of their research funds before!" Caesar said excitedly.

Sanji:...

Others:...

This guy even dares to swindle money from the Four Emperors?!

"You really are audacious scumbags," Nami said disdainfully.

Caesar:...

"Um... now's not the time to worry about such details." Caesar coughed lightly, then continued excitedly, "Anyway, let's run away quickly, or I'll die a very painful death."

"Who cares if you live or die!"

Sanji grabbed Caesar's face and said, "If I could hand you over in exchange for a chance to leave this place, I'd think it would be perfect!"

After all, they hadn't planned to keep Caesar around from the beginning, so handing him over wasn't a problem.

"Then let's hand him over," Xi Yan quickly said. "This way, we can avoid fighting the Four Emperors."

Although he is not afraid of the Four Emperors, Sanji do not have the ability to fight them, so it is better to find a way to save their lives first.

As for his personal trip to provide support now?

Even if he did know where Sanji and the others were, he might not be able to get there in time, since... the pirate ship is very far away!

'Damn it, if I had known we'd run into one of the Four Emperors over there, I would have Sanji with Merry and the others.'

In this way, Merry can use Reverse Summoning Technique to summon herself to provide support.

"What do we do now?" Chopper asked anxiously.

"Of course it's..."

Before Sanji could finish speaking, he noticed the massive pirate ship behind him opening fire.

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Terrifying shells rained down relentlessly on the sea around the Thousand Sunny, causing the ship to rock violently and nearly throwing Chopper off.

"Ah!"

"Quickly, who will take the helm?" Nami said anxiously. "Turn around immediately, we need to get out of here!"

Although she also wanted to go to Dressrosa to reunite with her companions as soon as possible, the current situation simply did not allow them to do so, so it was best to leave here first.

"Holy crap!"

Brook quickly scrambled to his feet and ran toward the bow of the ship.

"This is never going to end."

After kicking a cannonball away, Sanji said with a grim expression, "Now we can't go to Dressrosa right now."

Given the size of their pirate ship, shaking off this pirate ship would not be an easy task.

"Hey, are you guys alright, Sanji!" Franky said anxiously, "We need to figure out a way to escape quickly!"

"Besides..."

He paused here, then continued, "Don't let the Four Emperors come to Dressrosa, otherwise we won't be able to continue."

Although Xi Yan is very strong, he couldn't possibly hold off the entire Big Mom Pirates while simultaneously fighting off Marine Admiral!

Therefore, the best solution is to let Sanji escape in another direction, so as not to affect their operations.

And this is the current optimal solution.
