"What do you want to do? Don't eat me."
Caesar was brought before Xiaqiu by Heckler. Looking at Xiaqiu, who had its mouth open and was drooling, he thought of the devoured Virgo and felt a chill run down his spine.
"Don't worry."
Xiaqiu replied coldly, "I have something for you to do. If you can accomplish it, I can spare your life."
"I knew you needed something from me."
Caesar straightened up immediately, feeling proud. "So, what do you want me to do?"
Xiaqiu said, "You should know that in Punk Sade, there are several dragons created by Beck Punk. I want to ask you if you can produce dragons."
"Dragons?"
Upon hearing this, Caesar showed a troubled expression. "Those aren't the legendary dragons; they are just biotechnologically engineered creatures, and that kind of thing..."
"So you can't do it?"
Xiaqiu leaned forward, looking down at him with its mouth open.
"I can do it, I can do it."
Caesar hurriedly replied, "Dragons are the result of gene synthesis and directed gene mutation. I reviewed the materials back then and understood the principles. As long as there's enough time, it's not difficult to create them; it's just..."
"Just what?" Xiaqiu asked, looking at him.
"There's a lack of equipment," Caesar said quickly. "Many of the devices were damaged, and after Punk Sade was destroyed, the research was deemed not worth pursuing, so I abandoned the idea of continuing. The equipment needs to be custom-made, and even if we had it, we would have to start the research from scratch. It would take a lot of time, with gradual experiments and selecting research directions. I estimate it would take at least four or five years. After all, the Fire Dragon experiment took a full six years, and aside from initial interest from Bega Punk, the subsequent research was handed over to others."
"Four or five years? That's so long?"
Xiaqiu frowned and asked, "Isn't there any other way?"
Caesar hesitated for a moment and replied, "There is actually another option."
"Spit it out," Xiaqiu said impatiently.
"Clone."
Caesar quickly added, "We can use Clone technology to replicate the existing giant dragon. Of course, we need some equipment, but those aren't hard to find."
The Clone technology had been perfected long ago; for example, the Jerma 66 had a massive Clone army.
This technology had been relatively advanced for over a decade now.
Caesar had detailed knowledge of the relevant data.
"In that case," Xiaqiu said, "let's wait for a bit."
Xiaqiu abandoned the plan to eat those two dragons; besides, they were useless—each one was too large, and their evolutionary genes couldn't help her fly.
"Alright then, I'll spare you for now."
Xiaqiu looked at the distant corpse of Monet and swallowed it whole, saying, "Let's distribute the plan and act separately."
"Virgo, Monet, and Caesar have all disappeared. The people here saw several individuals, including Heckler, the president of Baroque Works."
Punk Sade and Buffalo were flying in the air, while Baby 5 stood beside seven or eight pirates, reporting to Doflamingo.
"Then you all come back first," Doflamingo said lightly before hanging up the phone, his expression turning angry.
"Virgo is dead."
Doflamingo glanced at the two Life Cards beside him and a handful of ashes; those ashes belonged to Virgo.
At that moment, Monet's Life Card also ignited and turned to ash.
"Both of them are dead."
Doflamingo clenched his fists. "They captured Caesar. It seems they have ulterior motives. Without him, I can't supply Kaido. The trouble ahead will be immense."
Although it was possible that Heckler and Law had teamed up to defeat Virgo, their strength would not be inferior to that of the highest officers.
Adding Ace and the giant beasts into the mix, it would create significant trouble.
Pika could handle the giant beasts. The latest news indicated that Ace and Kizaru had been locked in a stalemate; his strength would not be less than mine. So who would deal with Law and Heckler?
Doflamingo furrowed his brow and said, "We don't know what they're up to yet. If Whitebeard gets involved, that would be trouble. We can only notify Kaido to keep a close watch on Whitebeard while we take action against Baroque Works and contact the Navy. Whether it's Ace or Baroque Works, they are all wanted criminals."
"But we also have Sugar and Jora. If they come, let's make sure they stay here forever."
Doflamingo's eyes narrowed as he began issuing orders and arranging for security.
"You four will head to Dressrosa first to conduct preliminary reconnaissance. You must find Officers Sugar and Jora."
The next morning, Xiaqiu looked at the four in front of him.
"Don't worry, leave it to us," Christmas said with a grin.
"With Christmas's abilities, this won't be difficult," Ace replied.
"But you need to be careful."
Xiaqiu's gaze fell on Nico Robin among the four.
"Don't worry, we'll take good care of ourselves," Nico Robin said with a light smile.
In addition to these three, there was Fisherman Haku.
These four were responsible for the investigation, primarily ensuring they had a clear understanding of where each Officer was located, especially Sugar and Jora.
The abilities of these two were simply too overpowered; the former could turn people into toys, while the latter could transform them into works of art.
Jora felt somewhat relieved; she needed time to prepare. As long as they killed her quickly, there would be no problem.
However, Sugar had the ability to turn people into toys with just a touch, and those who became toys would vanish from everyone's memory.
By that time, no one would remember them.
Therefore, to carry out the mission, it was essential to eliminate Sugar first.
Among the four of them, Ace was incredibly powerful. Even if exposed, he could handle Doflamingo, and with his Observation Haki, he could foresee the enemy's movements.
Christmas had the ability to open doors, allowing them to access Interdimensional Space, which facilitated infiltration and investigation.
Nico Robin could sprout limbs in various places, making investigations remarkably easy and providing significant assistance.
Haku could operate underwater; if anything went wrong, he could dive in to relay messages or make an escape.
With their combined efforts, simply gathering information would be sufficient.
"We're leaving."
The four of them boarded Ace's ship. This vessel had been kept on board all along. Ace controlled the flames that powered it, and the engine roared as it unleashed a torrent of fire.
Whoosh.
The ship shot forward, heading toward Dressrosa.
"I never expected there to be such a terrifying ability."
Sabo said after they left, "It can turn people into toys, making them completely disappear from everyone's memory. No one can recall them."
"So we need to kill her first," Law added.
"Everyone, get ready," Xiaqiu said. "In three seconds, we will act and take down Doflamingo."
