083 Scientist: Caesar Clown

Now, Blackbeard's fame has spread all over the world.

Caesar recognized Blackbeard's people at a glance.

"One of the Four Emperors, Blackbeard, Shiryu of the Rain, 'Corrupt King' Avalo Pizarro, the First Titanic Captain Jesus Burgess, and the Former Admiral Candidate Momosagi Gion!" 

Caesar's face turned very heavy as he saw the people.

Cold sweat, like soybeans, rolled down his forehead.

Especially Blackbeard's evil reputation in the New World, which is simply more ruthless than any of the Four Emperors.

They come to this laboratory. There must be nothing good happening here!

At this time, Caesar was ready to make his escape.

Pressing the button, the entrance door to the laboratory closed instantly, and an exit appeared above.

Caesar transformed into a purple gas and floated into the air.

"The door is closed!" 

The half-human, half-animal guard exclaimed. Looking at the closed laboratory door, they already knew that Caesar had seen Blackbeard's arrival.

"Zeehahaha, trying to run away?" 

Blackbeard laughed loudly when he saw this. With his Observation Haki, he quickly sensed Caesar's position at such a close distance.

Then he transformed into a bolt of lightning and vanished instantly, flying towards the laboratory in the air!

"What speed!" 

Caesar's guard looked at the lightning that shot away with shocked expressions.

After escaping from the laboratory, Caesar flew towards the distance without looking back.

"Fortunately, I left a way out for myself, or I'd be in trouble!" 

When he emerged outside, Caesar couldn't help but exhale a long breath

Huh?

Soon, he felt movement behind him.

Turning around, he saw a lightning bolt approaching him at fast speed!

"Blackbeard!!!" 

Caesar was stunned with fear!

He tried desperately to escape, fully aware that with Blackbeard's presence, things would not end well for him.

"Gas!" 

Caesar used his Gas-Gas Fruit ability on Blackbeard, and a large amount of gas appeared in an attempt to stop Blackbeard's pursuit.

"Thunder Dragon!" 

Blackbeard's upper body transformed into a thunderous form, and a fierce thunder dragon flew out of his arm, colliding with the gas.

The high temperature of thunder can cause temperature to heat up, naturally neutralizing these poisonous gases.

"Thunder Fruit! "

Caesar exclaimed.

He was once a famous scientist in the marines, so he was naturally well-informed, and he mainly studied Devil Fruits. He recognized the fruit ability used by Blackbeard at a glance.

Blackbeard always had a faint smile on his face.

"Where do you think you're running?" 

If it were someone with different Devil Fruit abilities, he might have to spend some time figuring it out.

Because some Devil Fruit abilities can be quite weird.

However, he is well-aware of Caesar's Devil Fruit ability.

The thunder dragon in one hand can effortlessly neutralize the poison gas.

"A World Without Space!" 

When Caesar saw this, he directly utilized one of his killer techniques.

This technique can absorb all the oxygen in a space, creating unexpected effects when fighting others.

"No oxygen? "

Tich could feel that he couldn't breathe, but his face was still very calm. The main thing he trained in the past six months was his physical skills, and the second was the development of his fruit abilities.

With physical strength comparable to Rayleigh, he can now swim in the seas with ease. 

His lung capacity is also huge, thanks to his formidable physical abilities.

Not to mention being unable to breathe for a short period; even if it extends for an extra ten or twenty minutes, he will have absolutely no problem.

"No effect?!" 

Caesar's jaw dropped.

His techniques may work against ordinary people, but for these stong individuals, they are mere child's play.

"Uh-huh!" 

Thunder flashed, and Blackbeard had already arrived in front of him.

He stood calmly in front of Caesar without any intention of taking further action, and Caesar had already given up resistance.

"Blackbeard, what on earth do you want to arrest me for?" 

Caesar's face was solemn, and he asked Blackbeard warily.

"Be my subordinate, and I won't treat you badly, or you can die peacefully" 

Blackbeard spoke bluntly.

In fact, he didn't want to kill Caesar solely for possessing the Logia gas-gas fruit. 

In his view, Caesar's value surpassed that of just having the Logia gas fruit.

After all, in the pirate world, having someone like Caesar with such scientific expertise is a rare find.

Moreover, what Caesar has researched is more fitting for him. 

Not only can he create artificial Devil Fruits, but he can also develop poisonous gas weapons utilizing his gas-related abilities.

"..."

Caesar fell silent after hearing this. 

There are only two paths available to him now.

He believed that if he chose "no," Blackbeard would definitely kill him as soon as possible. 

As the saying goes, ruthless people are most afraid of encountering others who are equally ruthless.

Although Caesar's methods of killing are cruel and vicious, he lacks the terrifying strength possessed by Blackbeard. 

Thus, he has no choice but to submit in the face of Blackbeard.

"I choose to be your subordinate!"

Caesar declared. 

A smile crept onto Blackbeard's face as he extended his hand, revealing a fruit with unique markings.

"Devil Fruit?"

Caesar questioned.

"No, not quite!" 

Blackbeard corrected. Caesar gazed at the fruit in Blackbeard's hand, a rare spark of interest flickering in his eyes.

Scientists are often interested in weird objects. 

Given Caesar's expertise in Devil Fruits, the fruit Blackbeard presented to him was undoubtedly not a Devil Fruit but a new fruit resembling an artificial one.

"As my subordinate, it's time for you to taste it"

Blackbeard instructed Caesar.

With a serious expression, Caesar accepted the fruit from Blackbeard's hand, realizing that consuming it meant a point of no return.

Facing Blackbeard, he had only this option. 

In the end, he bit into the fruit Blackbeard had given him, feeling a mysterious and otherworldly sensation coursing through his body.

"It tastes awful! What kind of fruit is this? It's the first time I've encountered something that tastes worse than the artificial fruits I created!" 

After swallowing, Caesar's face twisted into a comical expression.

"After you consume it, remember, if you ever betray me, I'll take away your Devil Fruit abilities. If you doubt it, you can give it try"

Blackbeard warned Caesar.

This thing still has this ability?!

Upon hearing this, Caesar's eyes widened in astonishment. It was as if he, like a child, had stumbled upon a fascinating discovery. He examined the fruit in his hand with newfound curiosity.

Just as he was about to store it away and bring it back to the laboratory for further study, the fruit unexpectedly crumbled into powder and landed in his mouth.

"What in the world is this? Is it the reason of your ability to control multiple fruits?" 

Caesar asked with curiosity. His scientific interests had even overridden his fear of Blackbeard.

"It count, yet it doesn't really count" 

Blackbeard stated, clearly keeping the true answer to himself. He wasn't willing to share this secret with anyone.

"Blackbeard Boss came a long way to recruit me as his subordinate. What's the deal? What do you want me to do?" 

Caesar asked with full curiosity.

"Put an end to the body gigantification experiment, focus on developing poison gas weapons and artificial devil fruits, and cut ties with Kaido!" 

Blackbeard said with a smile.

"Boom!" 

His words made Caesar's heart beat violently. It turned out he was targeting Yonko Kaido!
