Chapter 434 Beast Kaido?
Chapter 434 Beast Kaido?
Chapter 434 Kaido of the Beasts?
"I see, that explains it," Xia Qi nodded and said.
No wonder those two monsters could fight for ten days and ten nights in this place; it turns out there was no more poison gas on the island long ago.
Then, as if remembering something, Xia Qi said, "Wait... who did you say purified the poison gas on the island?"
"Caesar," west Yan said, "that's what his men call him anyway."
"Caesar... Caesar Courant?!"
"I don't know his full name, I only know that he is called Caesar."
Xia Qi frowned and thought for a moment upon hearing this, then said, "Did you see any words like 'CC' on the island?"
"some."
After recalling the Den Den Mushi he had seen on the centaur, west Yan said, "The Den Den Mushi carried by his men only had the letters 'CC' on them."
"That should be pretty close to the truth," Xia Qi said.
If she wasn't mistaken, this guy named Caesar was the mad scientist wanted by the World Government—Caesar Clown!
Hearing Xia Qi's words, west Yan asked curiously, "What, you know this person?"
"Of course."
Shakky said, "This guy is a mad scientist wanted by the World Government, with a bounty of 3 million Berries."
"It's so valuable."
Brooke was somewhat surprised; he really hadn't expected this guy named Caesar to be worth so much money.
"Yes, that's how valuable he is." Xia Qi said, exhaling a smoke ring. "Although his own strength isn't that great, what's in his head is that valuable."
"What's inside the brain..."
Listening to Xia Qi's words, west Yan pondered the information he had obtained earlier, along with Xia Qi's description of Caesar.
This person must be an evil scientist who has mastered some powerful technology!
That's probably why this guy is valuable.
"Yes, he used to do research with Peppermint."
Shakky said, "Although I haven't received much accurate information, the fact that this person was able to cooperate with Vegapunk means that his skills are quite remarkable."
Otherwise, it would be impossible for someone who claims to have surpassed the wisdom of the world by 500 years to cooperate with that guy.
Geniuses only collaborate with other geniuses!
"No wonder Vegapunk would do something like that." Zoro gave a disgusted look and said, "Looks like neither of them are any good."
One releases poison gas, the other modifies the human body.
None of them are good people!
"You mean the incident where they released the poison gas in Punk Hazard?" Shakky narrowed her eyes and said, "There might be some other story behind this."
"Some inside story?"
Hearing Shakky's words, Zoro and the others exchanged glances. Could it be that Vegapunk wasn't behind this?
"Using certain things to attract attention and cover up the truth... isn't that something the World Government often does?" Shakky said calmly.
You can't completely trust newspapers.
Xi Yan frowned, remembering some of the things Ivankov had told him.
If Vegapunk were truly a wicked and corrupt individual... would the revolutionaries even consider seeking his help to cure Xiong Yao?
There might actually be some inside story behind this.
"This does sound like something the World Government would do." Sanji took out a cigarette, lit it, and said, "Just like when we went to Enies Lobby, didn't the World Government also push all the blame onto us?"
The headlines all focused on the Straw Hat Pirates attacking Enies Lobby, making no mention of their capture of Robin.
Therefore, Sanji felt that Ms. Shakky was absolutely right.
"That's true." west Yan nodded, then said, "Let's talk about Vegapunk later."
"The most urgent task is to resolve these current problems."
After speaking, west Yan paused for a moment, while also pondering some questions.
Then, west Yan asked, "Sister Xia Qi, do you know anything about this Caesar?"
"All I know is that his name is Caesar Clown, a mad scientist who ate the Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit, and who once worked with Vegapunk," Shakky said. "As for anything else, I don't know."
She learned this information through special channels after the other party was captured.
As for the others?
She really didn't know.
"This guy is a Logia-type?" Brook asked in surprise.
If that's the case, then you'd have to know Armament Haki to deal with that guy.
Fortunately, they have a lot of domineering people on their side, otherwise it would be really difficult to deal with this guy.
"Yes, he's a natural science student."
"Gas Fruit..." west Yan frowned and said, "So, the sleeping gas you inhaled before was created by this guy."
"That's probably true." Sanji nodded.
What a convenient ability! It's so easy to create such a terrifying thing.
No wonder he has a 3 million Berry bounty on his head.
"Then it seems that the guy called Teabeard wasn't lying," Zoro said. "He might really have used his abilities to purify the poisonous gas on this island."
"poison gas..
Upon hearing Zoro's words, west Yan's eyes flickered, and some speculations suddenly arose in his mind.
Xia Qi replied, "That's possible."
Devil Fruits are incredibly magical, so it's not impossible that they can be used to purify poison gas.
Just then, west Yan spoke up: "Do you think... it's possible that Caesar was the one who released that poison gas?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned for a moment.
Then, Shakky said, "Are you saying that Caesar can only purify gas?"
She roughly understood what west Yan meant.
"That's possible," west Yan said. "I suspect he was behind the gas leak a few years ago."
"An interesting conjecture," Xia Qi said with a chuckle.
Brooke looked at Xiyan curiously and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
"It's not certain," west Yan shook his head and said, "It's just a guess of mine."
"After all... this guy ate the Gas-Gas Fruit, so under normal circumstances, the only poisonous gas he can purify should be gas."
After saying that, west Yan paused for a moment, and then continued, "Of course, it's also possible that he used some kind of scientific method to purify the air on this island."
For example, by creating a special antidote using certain substances, the island's environment can be transformed into a habitable place.
I just don't know if this guy has the ability.
"I agree with west Yan."
Sanji said in a deep voice, "That mad scientist not only kidnaps children, but also conducts human experiments, so..."
Although Sanji didn't finish his sentence, everyone understood what he meant.
Who knows, that accident might really have been caused by this guy.
"But ultimately, this matter doesn't really concern us much," west Yan said. "We just need to do our own thing."
Anyway, this island doesn't belong to them, so whether it's destroyed or not has nothing to do with them.
All they need to do is take the children away.
The others nodded in agreement with west Yan's words.
"But that guy's poison gas is still a problem," Sanji said with some worry. "What if he attacks Luffy and the others at this time..."
"Meili's here," west Yan waved his hand and said, "If she really senses something's wrong, Meili can use her ability to blow away the poison gas."
Gas is a tricky thing, but they have Melly!
In the face of strong winds, poisonous gas is nothing.
Sanji paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "That's true."
With Merry around, there's really no need to worry about that.
west Yan nodded, then asked, "Sister Xia Qi, after Blackbeard became one of the Four Emperors, what actions did Ace and the others take?"
"No, Ace and the others didn't have a conflict with Blackbeard."
west Yan frowned upon hearing this. Could it be that Ace and the others really didn't care about Blackbeard?
Or should we... temporarily avoid their sharp edge?
As if understanding west Yan's thoughts, Xia Qi said, "Blackbeard is not someone that ordinary people can deal with now."
Although I haven't heard that guy has mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, he's still someone Ace can't handle right now.
She was certain of that.
This time, west Yan simply nodded and did not continue the topic.
Then, west Yan asked, "Any other news?"
"The rest..."
]
After glancing down at the intelligence report on the table, Xia Qi's expression turned somewhat melancholy.
"I have received news about one of the Four Emperors, Kaido."
"And this news... might be related to Moria."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of everyone present darkened.
Kaido of the Beasts, one of the Four Emperors?
Moriah?
The appearance of these two names together is not good news.
"Could Moria's disappearance be related to Kaido?" Zoro asked.
He knew very well what Moria meant to Perona, so he wanted to find out for her.
"It's just a guess." Shakky flicked her cigarette ash and said, "From what I understand, a few days before Moria disappeared, Kaido of the Beasts appeared on a nearby sky island."
According to witnesses, the man appeared to be suicidal and jumped from a height of 10,000 meters.
"Some time later, I received information that Moria had disappeared in the vicinity."
"You suspect that Moria was taken away by Kaido of the Beasts?" west Yan said.
"Yes."
west Yan's lips twitched upon hearing this. Was Moria really that unlucky?
However, west Yan fell silent after thinking about what Moria had once said.
For Moria, Kaido appearing before him might actually be something to be thankful for.
After all... he had always wanted to kill the other party to get revenge.
Unfortunately, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great...
"That's quite surprising news," Brooke said.
Kaido of the Beasts defeated Moria and then took Moria away?
That's really true.
"So... Moria has already been taken back by Kaido?" Zoro said, frowning.
"That's just an optimistic view," Shakky sighed. "If we're being pessimistic... Moria might already be dead."
Although no one found Moria's body on that island, who says that a body has to be on land?
Can't Kaido just throw him into the sea?
Is it wrong to get punched and sent flying?
All of that is possible, okay?
"this..."
Zoro's expression turned grim. If Moria really died, then Perona...
"Alright, stop overthinking." west Yan patted Zoro's arm and said, "Sometimes, no accurate information is good news."
At least they weren't certain Moria was dead, were they?
Hearing west Yan's words, Zoro's expression gradually softened.
Yes, the fact that it's not confirmed that the guy is dead is good news!
As for Kaido?
Luffy is destined to become the Pirate King, and he'll inevitably clash with Kaido sooner or later, so he's not in a hurry.
"Xiao Xiyan is right," Xia Qi nodded and said, "At least I haven't received any accurate news that that guy is dead."
"But no matter what, this matter is related to Kaido," west Yan said. "So sooner or later we'll have to clash with that guy."
Xia Qi smiled immediately upon hearing this.
"Little Straw Hat is going to be the Pirate King, after all," Shakky said with a chuckle. "Of course, he has to defeat Kaido first."
Otherwise, how would we obtain the historical text of the road signs?
"That's true."
Sanji and the others laughed too. Luffy is going to be the Pirate King, so they'll have to go back to Kaido's territory sooner or later!
When that time comes, we will naturally know Moria's whereabouts.
"Thank you very much, Sister Xia Qi." west Yan smiled and said, "This information is very useful."
Although they couldn't confirm whether Moria was still alive, they at least knew where to look.
When I get back, I'll tell Perona the news.
The other party will probably be very happy then.
"It's nothing, just a small matter." Xia Qi smiled, then continued, "Oh, right, there are two more things."
"you say."
"I've received information that the Blackbeard Pirates are hunting Devil Fruit users," Shakky said. "They killed several powerful Devil Fruit users on Beehive Island and then stole their abilities."
"So you need to be careful."
"They stole it?"
Brook, somewhat dumbfounded, asked, "Can the power of a Devil Fruit be stolen?"
Isn't this a bit too unbelievable?
"It sounds unbelievable, doesn't it?" Shakky said, "but the abilities of those Devil Fruit users who were killed did indeed appear on the members of the Blackbeard Pirates."
"That speed is nothing like finding a Devil Fruit that has been reborn in the sea."
After all... no one can find several Devil Fruits in a single day, right?
Brook fell silent upon hearing this. If that's the case... then the power of a Devil Fruit really can be taken away?
If that's the case, they really should be careful of the Blackbeard Pirates.
After all... the Straw Hat Pirates have a lot of Devil Fruit users!
