One Piece: God Killer

Just as the Bifur followed the Lesotho short-headed giant salamander and headed towards the island where Caesar was located.

Caesar's island.

It was a very, very small island, so small that you could see from one end of the island to the other end of the island at a glance. Such islands, even among the thousands of islands in the Grand Route, are extremely inconspicuous.

Not only is the area small, even the island looks a bit desolate.

Due to the year-round sea breeze, there are almost no tall plants on the island, let alone any large animals or human settlements. Of course, there are no buildings at all.

Such an island would hardly be visited by any ships, and would hardly attract anyone's undue attention. Even if pirates, merchants, navy or fishermen happened to see this island during their voyage, they would treat it as an uninhabited desert island and would not even stay for a short time.

It is for these reasons that Caesar Courant chose this island as the experimental base for his secret research.

Being unobtrusive is the biggest feature of this island, and this happens to be its biggest "advantage". However, underneath the island, it was completely different.

Since Caesar selected this island as a base for secret research a year and a half ago, after more than a year of continuous expansion, an extremely large and fully functional underground building complex has been formed underground on the island, and the core of these buildings It is Dr. Caesar Courant's research institute located on the second underground floor.

In the underground research institute at this time.

Various sophisticated and complex instruments are arranged in an orderly manner in a fixed order. Countless precious experimental materials are observed, studied, or undergo various complex and magical reactions in these instruments. This can obviously be regarded as a cutting-edge laboratory in the world of pirates.

Compared with the laboratories on Earth, this laboratory seems a little rough and unkempt, but correspondingly, it is also more unimaginable and incredible.

It can be said that even compared to the most sophisticated laboratories on earth, the hardware conditions such as experimental instruments and equipment here can be said to be comparable. If any scientists from Earth could see such a scene, they would definitely go crazy for this laboratory.

The scientists here, and the technologies they research, may be more beyond people's imagination than the laboratory itself.

The reason why all of this exists is because of the famous genius scientist, "the second person in the science class" in the field of world government science and technology research, and "the highest authority on weapons of mass destruction" Caesar Courant. This big man, second only to Vegapunk in the scientific sequence of the World Government, has long been committed to controversial scientific research and has been opposed by some colleagues and World Government officials.

For this reason, he chose to come to this uninhabited island and built a huge laboratory underground to conduct research in secret.

At this time, the tall, slender-limbed Caesar Courant's body turned into a semi-gaseous form. He was wearing a light blue coat with the word "GAS" printed on it, and a yellow striped formal suit underneath. A pair of black gloves stamped "CC". The most "eye-catching" thing that "embodies his personal characteristics" is his face. His long black hair is like a waterfall. From the thick and lush hair, a pair of sharp horns protrudes impressively. The mouth is so exaggerated that the corners of the mouth meet the corners of the eyes, the nose is flat, the eyebrows are long, purple lipstick is applied, and he even wears heavy eye makeup.

Caesar Courant, who was dressed very strangely, was observing the situation in the huge experimental vessel in front of him fascinatedly.

The green liquid continuously flows in from the top of the jar, and after layers of filtration, penetration, and precipitation, it enters the center of the jar. There, the green liquid comes into contact with the colorless and transparent liquid flowing in from the bottom of the jar. After the two liquids are completely mixed, they slowly flow into the other jar through the permeable membrane on one side of the jar.

"It will definitely succeed, it will definitely succeed," Caesar's eyes turned red, staring at the reaction between the two colors of reagents in the jar, as if the most devout believer had seen the God he believed in with his own eyes. Revealing an uncontrollable enthusiasm, he couldn't help but murmur to himself, "As long as the blood factors and growth hormone are fully mixed, we will be able to successfully realize the research on human body enlargement!"

Directly mixing bloodline factors and growth hormone is a new idea that Caesar gradually came up with after repeated failed experiments. He once tried to directly modify bloodline factors to control human growth, but found that even the modified bloodline factors could not make humans produce enough growth hormone. In subsequent experiments, he also discovered that by injecting growth hormone alone, the experimental subjects would also be unable to complete giantization due to constraints of blood factors. Therefore, there was a bold idea to combine the two.

As he spoke, he became more and more excited. He raised his arms high and looked up. At this moment, he seemed to see that the human body enlargement experiment was successful, and the name "Caesar Courant" spread to every corner of the sea. Even Vegapunk, who was originally aloof, had to bow to him. .

"Vegapunk, just wait, one day, I will completely trample you under my feet!"

Defeating Vegapunk has been Caesar's long-cherished wish. He and Vegapunk are old acquaintances and old colleagues. To be honest, Caesar still recognizes Vegapunk's talent - even though he doesn't want to admit it. However, it is precisely because of this that he particularly hopes to defeat Vegapunk.

But so far, Caesar Courant has never succeeded. Among MADS back then, Vegapunk had the loudest reputation. The representative research result of MADS, the blood factor, was also discovered by Vegapunk. Even after joining the World Government, Caesar received enough attention, but Vegapunk was still treated above him. This is evident from their rankings under the World Government. Caesar is ranked second in science class and Vegapunk is ranked first!

Whether it is blood factors, artificial devil fruits, human body modification, or advanced technologies such as lasers, even the research direction of human body enlargement, Caesar inherited it from Vegapunk. Therefore, it can be said that although Caesar Courant is also a genius scientist, he has always lived in the shadow of Vegapunk.

In fact, if Caesar could have the insight and domineering power to see into the future, then he would find that even if he tried for more than ten years he could not get rid of Vegapunk - his research project was stopped by Vegapunk. I also almost became a prisoner from the guest of the World Government. As for the so-called experimental project of enlarging the human body, it was not completely successful until Luffy entered the new world seventeen years later.

In the project of human body enlargement, Caesar can be said to be barely "tied" with Vegapunk. After all, Vegapunk has not perfected the technology of human body enlargement.

However, in other aspects of scientific research, Caesar can be said to be completely beaten by Vegapunk. In the study of blood factors, Caesar is not as good as Vegapunk. In the production of artificial devil fruits, Caesar is not as good as Vegapunk. Even in the manufacturing of weapons, which Caesar is very proficient in, Caesar is not as good as Vegapunk. . After all, although Caesar invented weapons of mass destruction such as "Death Kingdom" in the future, Vegapunk developed pacifist weapons such as Seraph.

Judging from the plot development of One Piece comics, with Wang Luffy landing on Egghead Island, there are very few opportunities left for Caesar Coulan to surpass Vegapunk.

From this perspective, Caesar and Vegapunk have a sense of déjà vu between Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang. Perhaps, in a world without Vegapunk, Caesar could really become the most outstanding scientist in the world.

Caesar didn't know what was going to happen in the future, and even if he knew, he wouldn't give up on the path he chose.

This is his persistence and glory as a scientist.

But what Caesar didn't know was that as an excellent scientist, in addition to his genius thinking and experimental abilities, more importantly, he had a kind heart to benefit the people with science and technology and contribute to peace and development.

And this is precisely the biggest gap between him and Vegapunk, and it is also the fatal gap that he did not realize until seventeen years later.

Holding the mixed blood factor and growth hormone mixture in his hand, Caesar looked very proud. He murmured to himself: "Which test product should I use today?"

As for what kind of pain and torture the experimental subjects who become experimental subjects will endure, and what fate they will eventually face, Caesar doesn't care.

What he even considered was that the experimental products would face shortcomings.

It seems that we need to urge those people who have no sense of urgency in scientific research.

However, at this moment, the iron door of the research institute was heavily bombarded from the outside by a huge force, making a dull impact. Within two clicks, the iron door deformed and fell off.

A figure wearing a black burqa rushed in.

Caesar's eyes widened and he froze in place. He could feel the anger of the girl who rushed in.

And he, a scientist who was interrupted in the course of the experiment, was also very angry.
