Enel Defeated by a Civilian Crew Member

After leaving the training grounds, Dawn headed straight for the research institute's underground laboratory.

The atmosphere here was completely different from upstairs. Bubbling chemical reagents, instruments flashing with eerie lights, and a faintly sweet smell permeating the air.

Caesar was hunched over the lab bench, scratching his head over a pile of spirits created by the Hollow-Hollow Fruit.

"How's the progress?"

Suddenly, a magnetic voice rang out in the laboratory.

"I'll allow you to use methods from ancient technology in this battle."

Dawn continued as though he had not heard Caesar's complaint.

"If you win convincingly, I can give you a day off."

He had high expectations for Caesar. Scientists usually did not fight through their own raw strength. The proper approach should be like Mayuri Kurotsuchi next door, or Batman from a DC production.

With ancient technology's level of development, as long as it was not a Devil Fruit ability like the Time-Time Fruit, which went far beyond the scope of science, a corresponding countermeasure could be found.

Caesar's eyes instantly lit up.

He was no fool.

In an instant, he understood what Dawn meant.

That was right. Why did he have to confront Enel head-on?

A scientist's battle should be about creating conditions that
