Chapter 301

Otherwise Kaido wouldn't have always been Caesar; the artificial Devil Fruit, though lousy, is a decent amplifier.

"Straw Hat Haizeituan Society's chirp!" the Chick Viscount shouted, "Come closer, chirp! Take us and evacuate the port first! Chirp!"

Just changing form even changes the "suffix tone."

"Indeed, quite an interesting ability. Has anyone taken a liking to it?" Sima Di teased.

But everyone showed looks of disgust.

Turn into an egg?

And still have to be smashed to get stronger?

Forget it.

"Compared to these, should we kick them while they're down, or turn and leave?" Nami asked.

"Neither."

Sima Di waved at the Chick Viscount's pirate ship.

【Restored to original!】

The hole blasted by Sakazuki was directly filled; the sinking ship stopped sinking and could sail again.

"Let's go, Merry, head this way." Sima Di pointed a direction, "Control the speed; their ship is taking on water, they can't run fast."

He's making the Chick Viscount and his crew run away!

But...

Why?

As the Golden Merry turned to leave the port, the Beasts Haizeituan Society members and Sakazuki both frowned.

What's going on?

"Hey! Straw Hat Haizeituan Society! Don't run!"

"When Big Boss Jack returns and finds you've fled, he'll go mad and hunt you down!"

"If you don't want to die, stop for me!"

The Golden Merry completely ignored the Beasts Haizeituan Society minions' bluster.

Because...

"What are you dogs barking at!"

"Great Flame!"

Without Jack as a human shield, the other Beasts Haizeituan Society members, though not to be underestimated, were nothing more than a matter of applying a bit more force before Admiral Akainu.

Even,

Sakazuki took some trouble to assimilate the port's seawater into magma; although he still couldn't kill the abnormal-bodied Jack, all the pirates attempting to rescue him were boiled alive.

"Hmph!" Sakainu snorted loudly, "Giving orders to an old man before leaving... You're pirates, yet you're arranging the positions of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Who he meant was self-evident.

On the Golden Merry,

Watching the destruction of the Calamity Jack and his followers, Sima Di couldn't help but sigh at Jack's brain.

"Can't fly yet so arrogant; if I'm not screwing you over, who am I screwing over?"

If only Jack knew Moonwalk or something, he wouldn't have been so easily handled by Sakazuki.

To this...

Robin and others of the Straw Hat Haizeituan Society who could fly all nodded in agreement.

Not being able to fly and being able to fly are truly two different worlds.

Usopp nodded thoughtfully; he suddenly had a good idea.

The Chick Viscount's ship then caught up to the Golden Merry, sailing side by side.

"Still, many thanks for the help just now! Chirp!" the Chick Viscount said politely.

Although a member of the BIG? OM, he was far more polite than Jack.

"Too polite." Sima Di wore a hypocritical smile, "Didn't you just say Sanji is going to marry BIG? OM's daughter Pudding? Then as his comrades, we should have no problem attending the wedding banquet, right?"

"Ah—of course no problem! Chirp!" the Chick Viscount readily agreed.

Even...

He had already imagined the scene of returning with the Straw Hat Haizeituan Society and being praised by BIG? OM.

If Sanji could serve as a medium,

and the Straw Hat Haizeituan Society could also be brought under the Beasts Haizeituan Society's affiliation...

The position of Pirate King would be one step closer!

"Then good." Sima Di nodded, "But before that, we need to go to Zou first; there I have prepared a betrothal gift for BIG? OM—the Red Road Poneglyph."

"Oh? That's truly wonderful!" Pekoms beside him exclaimed with joy!

A benefit just came?

That's a Red Road Poneglyph!

One quarter of the path to Laugh Tale!

Yet the Chick Viscount instinctively sensed something was wrong...

"Truly a generous gift, chirp 0.9!" the Chick Viscount hesitated, then asked, "Then, about Caesar..."

"Oh, he's already dead." Sima Di said calmly.

But this made both the Chick Viscount and Pekoms' faces change drastically!

Caesar's life or death is irrelevant,

but his giantification potion experiments are extremely valued by BIG? OM; this will add several points of risk to the previously smooth "alliance."

Most importantly......

Their mission has failed, and they might be punished for it!

And BIG·MOM's punishment......

Would even extract her own children's souls to death!

29. Sanji in Heat! The Giant Bokkus!

Sima Di saw through the concerns of Baron Chickens and Bokkus.

He opened the golden treasury, and a tube of black potion flew out, caught by Bokkus.

"Caesar's gigantification drug is nothing but a Half-finished Product. This one we obtained from the ruins of a giant kingdom during our travels. It can perfectly evolve an ordinary person into a Giant, and their lifespan will be multiplied several times over."

Bokkus and Baron Chickens' eyes lit up!

If what Sima Di said was true...

Then whether Caesar was alive or dead didn't matter!

As for whether Sima Di might be fooling them......

Was there any need?

They just needed to find someone to drink the Giant potion, and the lie could be tested......

Trusting this monster who orchestrated the Summit War, he surely wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

"This is for the best. Mama will surely be looking forward to meeting you all. Chu!" Baron Chickens smiled.

Though this mission had a few hiccups, the gains were unexpectedly huge!

"It's almost lunchtime. Would you like to come eat together? Sanji's cooking is quite good." Sima Di invited.

"No thanks, I still have to report the mission progress to Mama. Chu!"

"Then I'll have someone send a few portions over."

"Our chef can also make some nice desserts, you can bring some back when the time comes."

The two exchanged pleasantries with smiles, then each returned to their own cabin.

Once they could no longer be seen,

The smile on Baron Chickens' face vanished instantly, and his figure regressed, transforming back into Baron Tamago.

"Hm? What's wrong with you? Weren't you going to report to Mama?" Bokkus asked, puzzled.

Baron Tamago glanced at the excited Bokkus, feeling somewhat helpless.
