"Damn it! Luo! What exactly do you want?"
Caesar covered a slash wound on his body and looked at Law with a grim expression.
Don't you understand what I'm going to do?
Luo walked step by step toward Caesar, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. But his expression was utterly cold.
This injury wasn't caused by Caesar, but rather by Oden's attack earlier.
It's just that the battle with Caesar aggravated his injuries a bit.
However, since he is a doctor, he can provide some basic treatment for his injury.
Furthermore, Caesar and Monet are rather weak, so even though he is currently severely injured, taking them down shouldn't be a problem for him.
"Luo! You're really planning to betray the young master now, aren't you?" Monet said, her face equally grim.
Isn't that obvious?
"Alright, enough talk, Caesar. You're staying here today. Doflamingo will be quite surprised when he hears this!"
"Damn it, Luo, you brat!" Caesar gritted his teeth.
When they were a certain distance apart, Luo lowered his left hand, and air swirled in his hand.
"ROOM!"
A hemispherical field unfolded instantly.
"Get out of this area!" Caesar shouted, but it was clearly too late.
Luo's figure had vanished from where he stood and reappeared behind them at some point.
"When?!" Sweat beaded on both of their foreheads at the same time, and then they felt their perspective change.
It seems... I've gotten shorter?
As if they had realized something, the two hurriedly looked down at their own bodies.
A gash appeared at their waist, and then their upper bodies slid down and crashed to the ground. Only their lower bodies remained standing.
Luo continued walking towards the two, his sword flashing twice, and two hearts appeared in Luo's hands.
Upon seeing the two hearts, a smile appeared on Luo's face.
The first step of the plan has been a success!
"Luo, you'd better think carefully before you do this! You don't know how terrifying the Joker is, do you?"
"Besides, if you arrest me, you won't just offend the Joker; you surely know who SMILE's biggest customer is, right?"
"You... how dare you disrupt the deal between the Shichibukai and the Four Emperors! You've got some nerve! I advise you to release me now, and I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise... Ah!!"
Caesar suddenly cried out halfway through his threatening words, his face contorted in extreme pain, sweat dripping from his forehead, and even his upper body was rolling around on the ground in agony.
At this moment, Luo was squeezing the heart in his right hand until it was slightly deformed, and he said calmly:
" Caesar, I'm glad you're thinking of me, but... I don't like the tone of your voice!"
After saying that, Luo squeezed his heart hard again.
"Ah!!"
Another loud scream rang out, and Caesar's face was contorted with pain.
"Stop! Ro! Do you want to kill your master?" Monet shouted from the side.
"Hmm?" Luo murmured softly, then suddenly squeezed his left hand so hard that the heart in his left hand was instantly deformed.
"Ah!!"
The same scream rang out again, and the screams of the two people rose and fell, sounding extremely miserable, until the screams slowly stopped after a long while.
Looking at the two people lying on the ground, drenched in sweat and with pale lips, Luo spoke calmly.
"Remember! Your lives are in my hands now. Don't make a scene, or I can't guarantee I won't get itchy and squeeze your hearts!"
"You guys better take it easy, it won't be me who suffers then!"
Upon hearing Luo's words, Caesar and Monet, who were lying on the ground, glared at him with resentment, but dared not utter a single word.
Just like Luo said, their hearts are in his hands now. What if he squeezes them again when they speak? They don't want to experience that pain again!
Luo put the two hearts in his pocket, looked at them, and was about to say something when he suddenly seemed to sense something.
A semi-circular area instantly unfolded, and then the figure immediately disappeared from the spot.
The very next second after he disappeared, a black stick landed where he had been standing.
"Boom!"
A huge hole was blasted into the ground instantly, sending countless pieces of rock flying.
A man wearing a white checkered coat, sunglasses, short black hair, and Inazuma- shaped sideburns on both sides of his face stood in the crater created by the blast, holding a black bamboo stick.
Then he turned his gaze to Caesar and Monet, and the moment he saw this person, Caesar on the ground showed a look of joy.
" Vergo! What brings you here? Did the Joker send you?"
"Hurry up and kill that brat Luo! He dared to threaten me. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll never know his place..."
"Ah!!!"
Caesar was speaking when he let out another piercing scream. The man who had just disappeared was now standing a few dozen meters away, clutching a slightly deformed heart in his hand.
Luo looked at Caesar and said calmly:
"Didn't I tell you not to yell at me?!"
After saying that, Luo squeezed his heart hard again.
"Ah!!" Caesar's scream rang out again.
Seeing this, Vergo didn't hesitate at all and instantly rushed towards Luo, shouting:
"Roman! You brat, do you want to die? Give Caesar's heart back right now!"
Luo put Caesar's heart back in his pocket, looked at Vergo, and said, " Vergo, are you dreaming? You want me to return what's in my hands?"
Upon hearing this, Vergo's eyes narrowed, veins bulged on his forehead, and his tone was filled with anger.
"You should call him... Mr Vergo!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Vergo was already in front of Law, his dark bamboo, wrapped in Armament Haki, swinging fiercely at Law. Seeing this, Law did not flinch at all and slashed back with his sword.
"Boom!"
The moment their weapons clashed, a powerful shockwave spread outwards.
Luo looked at Vergo in front of him and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Mr. Vergo! Is this all the strength you have?"
The veins on Vergo's forehead bulged even more, and even through his sunglasses, Luo could feel the intense, almost murderous gaze directed at him.
"Luo! I'll teach you how to properly respect your elders!"
Having said that, Vergo suddenly unleashed power in his hands again. Sensing Vergo's sudden increase in strength, Luo Gang tried to exert force again but suddenly felt a pain in his chest, and the muscles in his hands relaxed for a moment due to the pain.
In that instant, Luo was sent flying by Vergo...
