Chapter 250

It is truly amusing.

These subordinates are survivors of Caesar's poison gas experiments, but they have lost sensation in their lower limbs since then; Caesar needed labor, so he fitted them with remote-controlled balloons, making them mistakenly believe Caesar was their savior.

Little do they know the root cause of all this is Caesar himself.

"Foolish pirates."

Caesar sneered,

secretly pressed a certain button, turned into gas, flew into the ventilation duct, and vanished.

Leaving his numerous subordinates with bewildered faces.

"The Master must have been cursing that Straw Hat Pirate Crew, right?"

"Yes!"

"The Master is so kind; how could he possibly scold us?"

They completely failed to notice

that wisps of purple mist were escaping from the ventilation duct.

At the same time,

Sima Di and the others arrived at a massive freezer, where numerous frozen prisoner corpses stood, all bearing identification numbers.

This made everyone frown involuntarily.

Usopp was so frightened he hid behind Zoro; Nami, following suit, hid behind...

Sima Di's back.

"Regardless, anyone daring to desecrate corpses for research must be an evil pirate!" Sakazuki glanced at Sima Di: "They must all die!"

"Don't look at me while saying that; it's easy for me to misunderstand." Sima Di clenched his fist: "After all, you can't beat me anyway."

"Hmph!"

Sakazuki turned entirely into magma, then...

melted into the ground.

Truly, the hardest attitude to do the most cowardly thing.

This happening to Sakazuki was unexpectedly a bit...

contrast-cute?

Sima Di quickly shook his head, shaking the strange thought from his mind.

How could a square-faced man be linked to "cute"?

"Creak—"

While thinking,

the group had already passed through the freezer and pushed open another large door.

Before their eyes was a group of children, laughing happily and playing around in this warmly decorated room.

However...

【Ding! Congratulations on signing in at the famous scene "Failed Giant Children!", receiving the sign-in reward "Caesar's Failed Giantization Serum"!】

——————————

"Caesar's Failed Giantization Serum": A drug that can turn normal humans into giants, but this research is incomplete; long-term use causes the body to grow giant at the cost of lifespan, and sudden death may occur at any time during the process!;

——————————

Sima Di: "???"

This is the first time Sima Di has seen a "reverse reward"; are you sure the serum isn't just a joke?

Do sign-in famous scenes also produce trash?

Moreover, he clearly possesses the genuine "Giantization Serum"!

"Damn it! Who did this!!!" Nami's super-high-decibel roar echoed through the room.

The children before them looked carefree, but their size proportions were seriously off; there were children of normal size, children taller than Brook, and even children sitting who were a head taller than Seeing Kuzan.

And as their size increased,

the children's complexions became more haggard; the largest one could only lie half-reclined there.

Most importantly...

their eyes were filled with dullness, and they kept murmuring words like "I want candy."

No guess needed to know

that someone was using these children for illegal experiments!

Seeing Kuzan's face was also frozen with frost, his gaze terrifyingly cold.

"Truly unexpected; someone dares to make moves under the Navy's very nose." Seeing Kuzan laughed in anger.

Good!

Very good!

It seems before he becomes Fleet Admiral, he must, in his capacity as an Admiral, finally purge this sea of a bunch of scum!

The commotion here attracted the children's attention;

they stiffly turned their heads, speaking dully: "I want candy! Give me candy quickly!"

This scene broke Nami's heart, who loves children!

She stepped forward, forcing a smile: "As for candy, we have as much as you want!"

Nami glanced at Sima Di.

Sima Di cooperated, using his Word Spirit ability to manifest a pile of candy.

"Look, these are all yours." Nami spread her hands.

"That's great!"

"Candy!"

"Mine!"

Children of various sizes surged toward the candy, frantically peeling off the wrappers—but the moment they swallowed it, they immediately spat it out.

"This isn't the candy I wanted!"

"You tricked us!"

"You're a bad person!"

These children's tempers rivaled Sakazuki's; the larger ones, without warning, stomped straight toward Xiang Na!

Fortunately, Xiang Na activated her Elementization in time and dodged aside.

"No! It's not that! Is the candy flavor wrong? Big brother can make new ones..."

Xiang Na still tried to explain,

but the children refused to listen, charging at her with expressions ready to tear her apart.

"Shhhhlaa—"

A wall of ice rose between them, enclosing the children.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The giant children's fists pounded against the ice wall with heavy thuds.

"Stop! Uncontrolled children will hurt themselves!" Xiang Na shouted at Seeing Kuzan.

This made Seeing Kuzan raise an eyebrow.

Who would have thought he'd one day be ordered around by a pirate?

"No, leave it like this," Brook drew out his violin: "I'll make them quiet."

A melodious violin tune began to play,

and the frantic pounding against the ice wall immediately slowed, then ceased entirely—followed by a chorus of thuds as the children collapsed.

Seeing Kuzan dissolved the ice wall,

and saw the children sprawled across the ground, some of normal size still sweetly dangling bubbles from their noses.

This heartwarming scene only made Xiang Na angrier!

Who could it be?

How could anyone dare poison such adorable children?
