Arceus's Pirate Journey

Chapter 1121: Chapter 1106: I Suggest You Check the Old Newspapers

The eyes of the Radio Snail changed, from calm to angry with a hint of panic. Even though the Radio Snail in Monet’s hand was mimicking Doflamingo’s sunglasses, it was clear that Doflamingo was not at peace in his heart.

The ones he least wanted to provoke were these Sea Emperors. With the Navy and World Government, he still had the qualifications to negotiate. Due to their rules on the surface, the World Government and the Navy have to be cautious when acting.

But the Hundred Beasts are different; once they get truly angry, they will retaliate without considering the consequences.

Who knows when Kaidou might fall from the sky or when Jack might drift close by while sailing. He could not afford this sin.

”If you can’t stop him, then dissociate yourself. In short, don’t provoke them because of this guy.”

Though if something happened to Caesar, Doflamingo would lose the SAD, but once Caesar truly pissed off the Hundred Beasts, an accident would be inevitable.

Since Caesar was doomed either way, Doflamingo naturally chose self-preservation.

”Shulolololo, joker, you’re truly heartless. No matter what, we are in a partnership. Are you in such a hurry to abandon me?”

A large mass of gas seeped in through the door cracks behind Monet, and as the gas compressed and condensed, it finally took on Caesar’s form. Logia-type ability users have always been quite convenient in this regard.

Their bodies are originally formless elements, and gas is even more so, able to freely pass through all kinds of narrow crevices.

”Fufufufufufu, Caesar? Looks like your brain hasn’t turned into a vacuum yet. At least you didn’t go seeking death on your own.”

”Are you kidding, joker? I don’t want to provoke a monster like Kaidou. Just a few failed prototypes, they’re not even successful subjects. How does it matter if they are taken away?”

Caesar didn’t care at all about the children being taken away, or rather, he was quite pleased that it happened.

Years ago, the World Government began experiments on Giant Medicine, after all, the Giant Race is a formidable force for any country.

This technology is something the entire world covets, but Caesar believes it’s almost impossible to complete.

These children indeed grew bigger under the influence of the drug, but that’s it. Whether they can grow up, whether it can be used on adults, what side effects the drug might have, Caesar doesn’t know.

After the Carmel incident years ago, the World Government had reached an agreement with the Giant Race, obtaining real Giant Race soldiers, naturally abandoning this research.

Up to now, the only one still obsessed with this matter is Charlotte Linlin.

Caesar’s research funding also comes from Charlotte Linlin. Strictly speaking, this matter is his side job, and it doesn’t have much connection to Doflamingo.

Considering Caesar thinks the experiment can’t succeed, he continues to siphon a large amount of funding from Charlotte Linlin, and all of this funding is spent on his private life.

Every night, Caesar would call the ”Girls’ Ship” to the island, living a hedonistic life.

But as Charlotte Linlin’s delivery deadline approaches, Caesar also starts to panic.

If the deception of BIG MOM is exposed, Charlotte Linlin would also fly into a rage, and the consequences would be even worse than offending Kaidou.

Thus, Caesar’s lifestyle has changed; he no longer indulges in revelry daily but instead indulges in terror-filled revelry every day.

After all, the matter hasn’t yet been exposed, the end is still far away.

Neither worry nor relaxation can change the outcome; before the inevitable revelation, Caesar naturally wants to enjoy to the fullest.

Misu’s group’s arrival, instead, gave him a chance, a chance to cover up the truth.

”Honorable M! Bad news! The data room is on fire!!”

Caesar’s subordinates rushed in panic to report the recent incident to Caesar.

”The fire is fierce. We can’t extinguish it with water, we’re salvaging the data, but... ”

”It’s okay, my dear subordinates, your safety is much more important than those documents, don’t risk injury over them, it would make me sad.”

Caesar even theatrically wiped his eyes. To him, these subordinates are merely disposable experimental subjects; this was all a facade Caesar created to make them willingly sacrifice.

It turned out his facade was very successful. Seeing Caesar care so much for them, his subordinates were moved to tears.

”Don’t worry! I’ll save those documents, even at the cost of my life!”

”No, no, no, your safety is more important, let the documents vanish.”

Even though it was abandoned, Punk Hazard was an experimental island built at great cost by the World Government, equipped with a complete fire prevention system. The only reason the important data room caught fire was because of Caesar’s doing. After a grand blaze, there would be no evidence, which is exactly what he wanted.

If these people really retrieved anything from the fire, Caesar would find that troublesome.

Seeing Caesar insist, his subordinates also didn’t insist further, but remembered something else.

”Honorable M, the children from the biscuit room have been taken by that woman.

That woman betrayed your trust, not only taking those children but also burning your archive. It’s a shame we even prepped a welcome ceremony; we will make her pay.”

This time he didn’t wait for Caesar to respond, as if afraid that Caesar would soften, he grabbed a weapon and ran out.

This was one of Caesar’s purposes as well. Something this big happened, if there weren’t even any pursuers, it would seem like he didn’t care.

By sacrificing a group of subordinates, he could fool Charlotte Linlin better, as for the lives of his subordinates, he wouldn’t care about such things.

As long as it made Charlotte Linlin feel he valued it highly, but was ultimately powerless, that would be enough.

He’s not the one not doing research; it’s just that the outcomes were destroyed. He can’t afford to offend the Hundred Beasts, if Charlotte Linlin is capable, she can handle it herself.

Thinking of this, a smug smile appeared on Caesar’s face.

And at this time, Doflamingo’s slightly mocking laughter came through the Radio Snail again.

From when Caesar’s subordinates came in, Doflamingo hadn’t spoken. It wasn’t until they left that he spoke again.

”Fufufufufufu, Caesar, you’re really quite brave.”

”Shulolololo, joker, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

”No big deal, but Caesar, I recall Morgans published a newspaper some years ago, the title was ’The Lone Hero’, I don’t remember which issue, but you’d best take a look. After all, that might just be your fate.”
