Sakazuki thought of something:
"How is Alabasta?"
Carol had been paying attention to that place:
"Crocodile's conspiracy has already begun to bear fruit."
"The side effects of the dancing powder are starting to show."
"Alabasta's rainfall has significantly decreased this year, and although it hasn't completely stopped, it's not far off. I estimate it will be one or two years."
"By then, Crocodile will begin to act, won't he?"
Sakazuki nodded:
"Keep an eye on him, and most importantly, on the Revolutionary Army there."
"The plan can also begin."
"Find an opportunity to have the Revolutionary Army hidden there make contact with Nico Robin."
"And that old guy Sengoku, he was supposed to last a few more years, I didn't expect it to be so soon."
He let out a cold snort at the end.
Carol spread his hands in helplessness and reached out to touch Sakazuki.
Swish—
The two of them disappeared into the crimson lava...
------------
New World, Punk Hazard.
Vegapunk, with a grave expression, called Law into an independent laboratory.
Law was somewhat confused but didn't ask. By now, Law was no longer the frail figure he used to be.
With cells stimulated by lightning and a special, side-effect-free nutrient solution, his body had become somewhat stronger.
He had grown to two meters tall, his physique resembling a scaled-down Satoru, with firm and uniform muscles.
Upon entering the laboratory, Law spoke:
"What happened, Teacher Vegapunk?"
That's right... Law had also become Vegapunk's disciple.
Vegapunk, with a solemn expression, took out a plan.
"Take a look at this."
Law took the plan and began to read. After only two lines, he frowned:
"So cruel..."
"Is this Caesar's plan?"
It was filled with descriptions of virus experiments and human experiments.
It also meticulously detailed the number of children required for the experiments and the use of living subjects for the experimental weapons.
In Law's impression, among all the scientists on the island, only that guy Caesar could be so cruel and have no bottom line.
Vegapunk nodded:
"That's right, it's Caesar's plan."
"This is a copy that one of his subordinates secretly gave me."
"And it has already started to be implemented."
"I called you here to prepare to arrest him. I've already spoken with the Five Elders."
"Enel will be back soon. You two will go together, just in case."
----------
Punk Hazard, noon, Research Institute Three.
A researcher walked nervously to Caesar Clown's side:
"Boss..."
Caesar, irritated by the unsuccessful experiment, turned and roared:
"Bastard! Didn't I tell you not to disturb me during experiments?!"
"Do you want to die?!"
The researcher flinched and quickly said:
"No... it's not that, Boss!"
"Vice Admiral Enel is here to see you, he's outside."
Upon hearing it was Enel, Caesar's heavy breathing intensified, but he still put down the experiment in his hand and calmed his anger:
"What is that lightning bastard doing here?"
"Where is he?"
The researcher shook his head:
"I don't know."
"But he's at the entrance of the research institute."
Caesar let out a cold snort, pushed the researcher aside, and walked out:
"Don't touch my desk."
----
Outside the research institute.
Caesar pushed the door open and said impatiently:
"What are you doing here again?"
Although he really didn't want to see this lightning bastard, this guy was unreasonable and only resorted to brute force...
Enel said nonchalantly:
"I brought some good stuff to show you."
"Come with me."
He walked away leisurely, hands in his pockets.
Caesar "Tch"ed, but still obediently followed.
However, after walking for less than five minutes, Caesar stopped. This was neither the direction of Research Institute One nor Research Institute Two...
Caesar felt that something was wrong, and his expression darkened:
"What do you want, Enel?"
Enel turned around and smiled maliciously:
"To lure the pig out and kill it."
Caesar's pupils contracted, and he gritted his teeth:
"You must be joking."
"You lightning bastard."
Enel looked at him indifferently:
"I don't have time to joke with you, Caesar."
"Your actions have been exposed."
"Resisting arrest... will get you killed."
Conqueror's Haki, along with killing intent, pressed down on Caesar. Caesar's gas-formed body fluctuated slightly:
"Bastard..."
He glared at Enel, and then his entire body exploded.
Gas, along with poisonous gas, swept out from where he had exploded, surging outwards with the impact.
At this moment, Law's steady voice rang out:
"Roo/
He said the last part with some excitement, looking at Enel.
Enel said:
"That's right."
"But... don't make yourself sound so righteous, as if I were the bad guy."
"Your despicable nature can't be hidden at all."
"Prepare to die."
He pulled out a Devil Fruit recycler and directly inserted it into Caesar's body.
Caesar struggled and writhed:
"What is this..."
"Don't move!!!"
His hand holding something was exposed. Clenching an explosion trigger, Caesar gasped:
"I knew this day would come..."
"The entire island is rigged with bombs. That kid's ability range must be at its limit."
"One-third of the island's size, not bad..."
"Unfortunately, it's still not enough!"
"Let me go..."
"Otherwise, everyone will die!!!"
