However, this amount of money is actually not even a fraction of the bounty for Meikyō's true identity.
Meikyō's feat of killing Celestial Dragon and escaping unscathed from Marine Admiral when he first arrived in the Pirate World has given his other identity a bounty of 1.8 billion.
Of course, before that, Meikyō had no foundation in the Pirate World and quickly put on the guise of "Tsugikuni Yoriichi," a swordsman from Wano Country, making it impossible for the World Government to find any information about him. In fact, the bounty was an artist's drawing rather than a photograph, and the name was a vague title like "Red Eye -Eyed Godslayer."
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Dazzling bolts of lightning struck down from mid-air and landed on Meikyō.
Meikyō carried a mountain-like weight on his back, insulated with insulating material, and used it to train his body by walking on the Geppo in mid-air.
As the Lightning Release Chakra Mode was activated, fine arcs of electricity coursed across his body, strengthening it.
"Enel is getting more and more durable."
Having just finished training, Sabo slumped onto a recliner and casually pulled out a pair of sunglasses, putting them on— Enel's lightning was too dazzling.
"His Devil Fruit ability was already highly developed, and now that he has improved his foundation and learned Armament Haki, his strength is indeed becoming more and more terrifying."
As she spoke, Kuina stood on the deck, constantly waving her sword, Kazehana, practicing her swordsmanship.
She and Sabo have also improved their strength rapidly. If they were released, there might not be many beings in the first half of the Grand Line that could pose a threat to them.
"Okay, is it in Dosu Town? I understand, we should have Log Pose for this place."
Koala stood in the secret compartment of the captain's cabin, talking on the phone with Dragon.
The Revolutionary Army have investigated what happened at Punk Hazard and found traces of Caesar Couran.
When Meikyō finished his training and Enel was exhausted and slumped against the deck railing like a dog, Koala quickly found Meikyō and reported the matter.
Punk Hazard was the site of a massive explosion caused by the misconduct of Caesar, a scientist from the World Government's Science Department.
Caesar was quickly arrested, but escaped from the prison ship using his Logia Gas-Gas Fruit powers, and a bounty of 300 million Beli was placed on his head.
The departure of the Momousagi is related to this.
Now, news has come from Dragon that the Revolutionary Army has seen Caesar in Torrance Town in the New World.
As an outstanding biologist, Caesar undoubtedly met the requirements of the Meikyō.
Meikyō seemed to have heard the name Torrance Town somewhere before.
"Ah, Torrance Town, I do know something about it."
Robin closed the newspaper and said, resting his chin on his hand.
"That place is also called Sleeping Ancient Town. It is said that a long time ago, a great pirate hid his treasure there. So many people went to Torrance Town to search for it, but they found nothing. Gradually, the people there left, and it gradually became deserted. There are even legends of it being haunted."
It wasn't until a few years ago, thanks to the efforts of a girl, that the town began to revitalize.
Reminded by Robin, Meikyō immediately recalled information about this place.
Isn't this the place where the Lone Red Count Redfield obtained the Vampire-Vampire Fruit?
"Sabo, go and ask about Torrance Town again. Kuina, raise the sails, Koala, turn the helm, we're going to Dosu Town."
Meikyō issued the order.
Even if we can't find Caesar, finding the Vampire-Vampire Fruit, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, would be good.
However, Meikyō had some doubts about whether she should become Devil Fruit user.
No ninja wants to have an extra weakness.
But that didn't stop him from taking this rare Mythical Zoan Fruit. If one day he really needed to improve his strength, he could swallow the fruit then.
The ship glided across the sea, speeding away into the distance.
Torrance Town.
The innkeeper, Adoya, just wanted to get this guy with long black hair and an effeminate, sinister look out of Torrance Town as quickly as possible.
This guy's presence here will only attract the attention of the big shots on the high seas!
Fortunately, with her help, Caesar quickly prepared the fresh water and food needed for the voyage and boarded the ship to set sail.
However, as a scientist, Caesar's ships were clearly different.
"Very good, it wasn't for nothing that I stayed in this wretched little place for so long. I've finally managed to build the Ultimate Invincible Caesar No. 1 Engine that allows me to escape smoothly!"
Caesar raised his hands high, turning them into gas, and countless streams of gas were injected into a device in front of him.
This thing is actually equivalent to an internal combustion engine, which can ignite its gas and convert it into power, greatly increasing the speed of the ship.
Then he can easily escape the navy's search and return to conduct his experiments once the storm has passed.
Just as Caesar boarded the ship and began his voyage, a medium-sized vessel was cutting through the waves and heading towards the Torrance Town.
"Huh? What's that? That's a really fast ship!"
Sabo stood on the lookout tower, looking at the ships sailing in the distance billowing thick smoke, and said.
"That guy... must be Caesar."
Meikyō, holding up his binoculars, confirmed the man's identity.
He had never seen Caesar, but Caesar's appearance was so distinctive, and his hands were constantly emitting gas smoke. Who else could it be but Caesar?
Meikyō immediately unleashed a Flying Slash parted the sea, forcing Caesar to stop.
Faced with this terrifying slash that nearly killed him, Caesar was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out, and he hurriedly changed course.
"How dare they attack Caesar, the great scientist with the power to destroy the world!"
Enraged, Caesar decisively chose to back down.
He also has a clever trick.
With a flick of a button, the ship's sails began to transform into a giant hot air balloon, while Caesar, positioned below, used the heat from igniting the gas to propel the ship into the sky as an airship.
Two rows of pipes extended from the tail of the airship, spewing flames and propelling the airship into the distance.
"Hahaha! You didn't expect that, did you? My boat can fly!"
Caesar gesticulated wildly and made faces at the people below.
"Boom!"
A bolt of Lightning struck down from the sky, shooting down the airship.
Caesar was startled and quickly transformed his lower body into gas, floating away from the airship and speeding off into the distance.
With Flying Slash and Lightning strikes, even if Caesar didn't recognize Meikyō, he knew this group was not to be trifled with.
"Is this guy also Logia like me? Leave him to me!"
After obtaining the Meikyō's permission, Enel transformed into a bolt of Inazuma and shot into the sky.
The outcome of their fight was a foregone conclusion.
Although Caesar is also Logia Devil Fruit user, neither his basic skills nor his development of his Devil Fruit ability are as good as Enel's, who had been trained by the Meikyō for a period of time. He was captured by Enel in just a short while.
Caesar was thrown onto the deck with a grumbling sound, his little wrecked boat dangling behind him on a rope.
"Caesar Courren?"
Meikyō sat in a chair, crossed his legs, and called out Caesar's name.
"Tsugikuni Yoriichi? I haven't offended you, why are you arresting me!"
Caesar wasn't handcuffed and could have used his Gas-Gas Fruit powers to escape at any time, but he didn't dare.
Because Tsugikuni Yoriichi was holding a sword in his hand.
Caesar had a premonition that if he dared to make any rash moves, he would be reduced to ashes in the next second.
"That's not necessarily true."
Robin brought over a newspaper and showed Caesar the headline.
"It's only natural that the Shichibukai would help the World Government capture wanted criminals, right?"
Caesar's expression changed.
He's been busy running around these past few days, so he wouldn't be paying attention to the news or newspapers.
"You came to arrest me, not to claim a reward from the World Government, right? I can offer you much more! Artificial Devil Fruit, and other powerful weapons—I can research and develop them for you!"
"Ah, of course I know these things, otherwise you wouldn't have the chance to waste your breath on me here."
Meikyō patted Caesar's cheek with the blade of his sword and said.
What do you want?
Caesar adopted a fawning, sycophantic expression.
"Genetic modification, you know?"
"Genes? You mean Lineage Factor, right? Lineage Factor modification is nothing more than Vinsmoke Judge's stuff, a piece of cake! Just give me a factory, and I can breed thousands upon thousands of genetically modified humans for you!"
"I don't want something as simple as genetically modified humans. I need you to reverse transcribe a portion of several genes and introduce it into the main gene."
Meikyō retracted the Ama-no-Ohabari from her hand, then stared at Caesar with her eyes.
Having Transparent World, he could clearly see Caesar's heartbeat and judge whether he was lying.
"Of course! This is actually Vinsmoke Judge's method. That guy modifies the embryo's Lineage Factor while his wife is pregnant, so that the offspring can have the best genes and become perfect cyborgs!"
"Can genetic modification only be performed on embryos?"
Meikyō was a little disappointed.
Caesar's heart skipped a beat.
"How could that be? Judge also modified his body, but if you want to perform perfect genetic modification on adults, you still need to continue research, which will require a lot of money..."
Caesar said, his eyes gleaming.
"It seems you can't do it."
Meikyō shook his head in disappointment.
Caesar was lying.
An invisible power of vision pierced through the colored contact lenses and entered Caesar's eyes.
Under the influence of the Genjutsu, Caesar will have no chance to lie.
"I'll ask you one more time, is it possible for you to perform Gene Editing Modification on an adult?"
