Luo Wen arrived at the entrance of the experimental base, where the heavy steel gate was tightly closed.
"Whoosh!"
Without any hesitation, Luo Wen drew his Shusui sword and unleashed a slash.
Boom!
The half-meter-thick alloy door was as powerless as paper in the face of Luo Wen's slash.
As everyone stepped into the base, a voice suddenly appeared.
Large amounts of snowflakes swept in like a blizzard.
A beautiful woman with delicate features, fair skin, and green hair, dressed in a white lab coat, was formed from ice and snow.
At this time, she had not yet been transformed into a bird-woman by Tegafar Roth; she was a normal, beautiful human.
It was Monet who had rushed over; she wanted to try and see if she could stop Luo Wen at the door.
"Lord Luo Wen, please stop!"
Monet said in a deep voice.
However, the next moment...
Her neck was instantly grabbed by Luo Wen's large hand, which was covered in Armament Haki.
"Speak! Who are you? What are you doing here?!"
Gion, his voice sharp and stern, questioned Monet.
When guards appeared on the island, she sensed something was wrong, and the appearance of this Logia woman confirmed her suspicions.
This place seems to be occupied by some special organization; it's a very important base.
In that case, it's quite possible that Luo Wen might actually find Devil Fruit.
In other words, she might lose her bet!
Gion glanced at Luo Wen and noticed that he was looking at her too, with a strange smile on his face.
Monet ignored Gion and looked at Luo Wen with seriousness.
"Luo Wen, this is the territory of Doflamingo, Shichibukai, and he has the backing of one of the Four Emperors, Kaido of the Beasts!"
"Even if you are the newly enthroned emperor, you should consider the consequences of doing this!"
Monet's face flushed red as he forced back his words despite the pain in his throat.
"You're trying to get me to fight Doflamingo by mentioning those two in front of me?"
Luo Wen threw Monet on the ground and said with amusement.
Monet, who had initially felt extremely humiliated and wanted to fight Luo Wen to the death, suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.
She then remembered that this man was a lawless Godslayer, the world's recognized new emperor of the sea.
He has already taken down two Shichibukai, so taking down another young master doesn't seem like a difficult thing to understand.
"I'm sorry, Luo Wen, it was my rudeness!"
Monet lowered his head and apologized with trepidation.
"Enough with the nonsense, you pretty little minnow..." Luo Wen patted her cheek. "Take me to see Caesar Courland."
An apology? It's too late!
Doflamingo —we've had a feud with him since back in Mock Town. He's so rich, and his subordinates are so amazing, we definitely can't let him get away with this!
"Pretty little minnows!?"
Monet's expression was conflicted; he didn't know whether to be happy or angry.
She's a member of the Donquixote Family and also a Logia Fruit user.
He was actually called a piece of trash by Luo Wen?
She was about to get angry, but then Luo Wen said she was pretty.
Well, after all, he's someone even Marine Admiral can't defeat; he could even wipe out an island in one strike.
I am really nothing in their eyes.
So, was Luo Wen complimenting herself on her beauty?
Monet looked at the man before him, his heart filled with complex emotions. "Please follow me, everyone."
She didn't want to lead the way; this Godslayer specifically named Caesar, clearly aiming for the Artificial Devil Fruit.
This is a crucial bargaining chip in the deal between the young master and Kaido.
But even without her leading the way, Luo Wen could find it directly.
It's better to bring them over first and then see how things go.
Not long after.
Monet reluctantly, yet had no choice but to follow his lead.
Turn left and right all the way.
As Luo Wen and his group continued their journey through the experimental base, they encountered Caesar Courland in the monitoring room.
Caesar Courland has ram's horns, a fierce and ugly face, and wears purplish-black lipstick. He is dressed in a white lab coat, perfectly embodying the image of Frankenstein's monster.
"Lord Luo Wen, I've long admired you!"
Caesar stepped forward with a beaming smile, treating Luo Wen with utmost respect.
He was very wary and cautious of this young, newly enthroned emperor.
"Hehe, you're not being honest."
Luo Wen narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
The next moment, his fist was covered in jet-black Armament Haki, and he threw a punch.
Boom!
Caesar was sent flying backward, his entire body pressed against the wall.
The alloy wall surface underwent tremendous deformation under such a huge Impact.
His actions of secretly removing oxygen and releasing hypnotic gas were all physically stopped.
Caesar stared at Luo Wen in horror, a tearing pain shooting through his chest and abdomen, blood gushing from his mouth.
That punch just now broke several of his ribs and caused some internal damage. A little more force could have easily killed him.
"You don't seem to realize the gap between us."
Luo Wen stared indifferently at Caesar Courland and said sarcastically.
Caesar's petty tricks were crystal clear to him.
Luo Wen drew Shusui, and a dark, domineering Haki swirled around the blade.
With Shusui's blade pressed against Caesar's neck, Luo Wen calmly said, "If you don't behave, you can die."
"Yes, yes, Luo Wen!"
Feeling the cold on his neck, Caesar endured the excruciating pain in his stomach and knelt on the ground, begging for mercy.
Seeing this, Luo Wen sheathed his sword.
Caesar touched his neck, where a faint trace of blood was visible.
Relieved, he remained kneeling, as humble as a dog. "Thank you Luo Wen, for sparing my life. Whatever your request, just say it, and I will not hesitate!"
He has now completely behaved himself.
There is an absolute gap between him and Luo Wen.
If Luo Wen were thousands of meters away from him, he would dare to try.
Now that Luo Wen is in front of him, forget it.
Don't move, or you'll die!
