After leaving New Ohara Sky Island, Adams did not return to God's Palace. Instead, he headed for another Floating Island under his command.
There, he met Caesar Clown, the scientist he had "recruited."
At that moment, Caesar had an arm around Urouge, who hailed from a Sky Island, and the two were chatting merrily.
Urouge looked like an honest, compassionate monk on the surface, but in the original story, his Fallen Monk Pirates had no shortage of beautiful nuns and female monastics among them.
Caesar was an utter scumbag as well, taking the research funds he had swindled from the Four Emperors and immediately spending them in the tender embrace of the Pleasure District.
The two had hit it off at first sight, birds of a feather, with the feeling that they should have met sooner.
Adams said nothing about the "harmonious" relationship between his subordinates. As long as it did not delay important business or interfere with his plans, he was happy to turn a blind eye.
He directly issued Caesar an order, demanding that within a year, he complete the preliminary development and testing of some kind of weapon of mass destruction. After Caesar thumped his chest and gave him a solemn promise, Adams left.
Next, Adams spent some time personally reassuring the crew members who had failed to shine during the earlier operation to rescue Vegapunk and seemed somewhat dejected.
He promised them that next year, there would be a world-shaking operation requiring the entire crew to mobilize, telling them to train hard, improve their strength, and prepare themselves.
His words were like a reassuring pill, reigniting everyone's fighting spirit and anticipation.
