Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

After eating the dragon meat, everyone set off again.

Because there was no ice and fire battle in the original novel, the crowd did not encounter a situation where they were extremely hot at first and then their feet were frozen.

I even walked to the center of the island out of boredom.

"Except for the dragon at the beginning, we didn't see any enemies along the way. Are there really those people you mentioned on this island?"

Nami looked at Law and complained.

"There are no pointers to this island, and there is poisonous gas outside. It is a restricted area that is almost impossible for anyone to come to, so there is no one guarding it."

Luo quickly explained, then he looked up and said thoughtfully:

"However, it is impossible for us to appear so blatantly without being discovered."

-

Inside the only intact research institute located on the other half of the island.

"You must be kidding! How could those guys come to this place?!"

A man about three meters tall, with goat horns, black spiky hair, and purple lipstick, seemed to be a little overwhelmed.

He is the man who was expelled from the institute by Vegapunk and turned the island into a restricted area - Caesar Cullen.

He looked at the surveillance footage outside the institute and saw those familiar figures with his mouth wide open.

"Straw Hat Pirates, Captain Luffy, Vice Captain Byakuya, Zoro, Sanji..."

Caesar counted the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, his expression becoming more and more exaggerated: "They must have found the wrong target. If it were me, would it be necessary for all these people to come together?"

He turned his head to look at the woman beside him, and said with tears in his eyes: "Even if you take away the two with the highest combat power, I'm dead!!! Monet!"

"You have a clear understanding of yourself, Lord Caesar."

The woman called Monet has a curvy figure. She is wearing a green dress with blue patterns on the bottom. Her big wavy hair in red highlights her personality.

Although Monet calls Caesar "Sir", in fact, Monet is Doflamingo's subordinate, and his purpose is to monitor Caesar.

Moreover, Monet is also the user of the Nature-Type Snow-Snow Fruit, and his strength is quite impressive.

"Although I have been staying here all the time, I also watched the entire Battle of Marineford a few months ago!"

Caesar still had a panicked expression: "Those guys are known as the force most qualified to challenge the emperor."

"even if..."

Having said that, Caesar turned to look at the third person in the room again, with an expectant look on his face: "If it's the Joker, he shouldn't be afraid of them, Vergo."

The man called Vergo was tall and strong, wearing a white plaid coat, and had short black hair and lightning-shaped sideburns.

However, there was a large piece of hamburger meat on the left cheek of this man, as if it had been stuck there while he was eating.

This guy has a very important background.

On the surface, he is the highest commander of the New World Chaos Navy Branch, the G5 Branch. In fact, he is one of the highest-ranking cadres under Doflamingo, codenamed Onitsuka.

Possessing armed color domineering that can cover the entire body.

Such a man, with a serious expression at this moment, seemed to be disdainful of Caesar's words.

This also made Caesar look surprised and look forward to his answer.

But the next second——

"Unfortunately, even the young master would not be willing to take the initiative to face these guys. Get ready, Caesar, we are about to start running!"

Vergo stood up and said words of admitting defeat with a dignified expression.

Then, Vergo gave Caesar an order: "I have just reported to the young master that there are people from the family in the nearby sea area. They will be here soon to help us leave."

"Before leaving, have your men stop the enemy, and release your pets to destroy this research institute."

"Even if you are the only one in the world who can develop [SAD], you can't keep that laboratory."

"Just taking you away is enough."

After saying these words, Virgo came to the surveillance screen and stared at a figure in the picture.

"Did you lead them here? Luo..."

-

After receiving Caesar's order, there was finally movement in the institute.

Two huge orcs set out from the research institute. They were a group of brothers under Caesar. Despite their huge size, they walked silently.

He is also a killer who is good at sniping.

At this moment, they were using the terrain to approach the Straw Hat Pirates who were rushing towards the research institute.

In addition to them, a group of troops dispersed from the research institute to various parts of the island.

In the original work, Caesar's troops were all half-orcs with the lower bodies of animals grafted onto them because of Luo's ability.

These people were sent by Doflamingo, who was in charge of human trafficking, a year ago.

Although I can't be used as a test subject like a child, I can still be a subordinate to keep the research institute running.

Some of these people surrounded Luffy and the others, while others went to various corners of the island and placed some supplies.

"Hurry, finish delivering the [feed] as soon as possible and then return to the research institute."

People in protective suits and gas masks shouted.

"Why did Lord Caesar suddenly start the experiment? Didn't he say it would take another two years?"

Some people are confused.

“Although I don’t know the details, it seems that Lord Caesar is going to abandon this place.”

"I heard from the captain that this island has been invaded by enemies, and they are creatures that even Lord Caesar cannot afford to offend."

"It seems to be the Straw Hat Gang!"

Someone answered.

"The Straw Hat crew is also coming to this island?"

Someone else spoke up: "But before that, can you tell me what these so-called [feeds] are used for?"

"Why are you talking so much? And you don't even know what [feed] is. Could it be..."

The sound stopped abruptly because he suddenly realized something.

He turned around slowly and saw the scene he had guessed, but which was also the scene he least wanted to see.

Hundreds of people wearing fiery red uniforms, holding muskets and with cold faces, surrounded all of them.

The leading man bit his cigar, picked him up, and shouted to the others who were surrounded:

"I am Lieutenant General of the Prairie Fire Army, Smoker."

"Originally I just wanted to find the lost child, but now it seems that there are still many secrets on this island."

"So, tell us all the information."
