Chapter 427

Beside him, Nico Luo Bin said, "Perhaps it's a human who ate a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit."

Hearing Luo Bin's explanation, the others were stunned for a moment, feeling it was very possible.

Mythical Zoan fruits like the Phoenix and Nine-Tailed Fox have already appeared, so another one like a Mythical Zoan Fire Dragon doesn't seem all that rare.

Lin Yu explained, "This is actually an artificial creature created by Vegapunk to guard this island. It can adapt to any environment."

Runti spoke up, "It's mine."

Although it's an artificial creature, the title Dragon Slayer sounds extremely impressive the moment you hear it.

"Roar!!!"

The great fire dragon let out a bellow and opened its massive jaws at Lin Yu and the others.

Boom!

A tremendous blast of dragon flame instantly spewed from the fire dragon's mouth, sweeping toward Lin Yu and the others.

Yet facing the onrushing dragon breath, Lin Yu and the others remained unmoved.

Ever since they had seen Emperor Kaido's dragon breath, the fire from this fire dragon before them was, to them, nothing more than the tiny flame of a lighter.

Smoothie curled her lip and drew the long sword from her back.

Moisture Sword!

A slash was unleashed by her, splitting the incoming flames in two; the slash's momentum undiminished, it cleaved the fire dragon clean in half.

Seeing the scene before her, Runti, who had been about to charge forward, froze.

That's it???

This dragon is way too weak!!!

Lin Yu walked up to the bisected fire dragon's corpse and stored it into his interdimensional space.

"Let's go. First we'll find that scumbag Caesar."

Lin Yu beckoned, preparing to lead the group onward toward the research facility's location.

He had no desire to let that scumbag Caesar escape just because they dawdled too long.

Elsewhere.

Inside Caesar's laboratory.

"What did you say? The Yeti Brothers and the fire dragon were taken out instantly?"

Caesar Clown stared in shock at Monet, who had come to report, his heart seized with terror.

The Yeti Brothers he could let slide, but the fire dragon was made by Vegapunk—tough as nails, and capable of flight besides. Whoever could take it out in an instant was absolutely no ordinary person!!!

Monet said with a grave expression, "The one who instantly killed the fire dragon was tall, a Longleg, and used a slash. She should be Sweet Commander Smoothie, the one by Big Mom's side."

As an officer under Doflamingo, a local power in the New World, Monet was extremely familiar with the people under the Emperors.

At first she hadn't recognized them right away because of Lin Yu's group's disguise, but the moment Smoothie used her technique, she immediately guessed their identities.

"A Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates!!!"

Hearing Smoothie's identity, Caesar Clown was shocked.

Why would a Sweet Commander of the Big Mom Pirates come looking for trouble with him?

Monet shook her head and said, "Smoothie is no longer one of the Big Mom Pirates now. She's one of God-Slayer Lin Yu's people!"

"God-Slayer Lin Yu!!!"

Hearing that name, Caesar Clown was so shocked his voice grew considerably shriller. Now he was even more afraid.

This was someone who could match strength with Beasts Kaido and Emperor Red-Hair—he was absolutely not someone Caesar could handle.

"No good, we have to leave immediately, or our lives won't be preserved."

Caesar made his decision and rushed out of the laboratory.

God-Slayer Lin Yu was simply not someone he could deal with. Better to run early.

While fleeing, Caesar pulled out a Den Den Mushi and began giving orders to his subordinates:

"Release the Poison Gas Salamanders. Everyone head outside the research facility and prepare to meet the enemy."

Caesar clearly intended to use the Poison Gas Salamanders and his subordinates to delay God-Slayer Lin Yu's advance and buy himself a chance to escape.

Watching Caesar Clown flee, Monet shook her head.

In her view, since God-Slayer Lin Yu had already landed on the island, escape was utterly impossible for them.

And the only thing she could do now was get the message out.

Walking toward the Den Den Mushi inside the laboratory, Monet prepared to contact her young master Doflamingo, who was currently in Dressrosa.

The news that God-Slayer Lin Yu had arrived in the nearby seas—she had to inform her young master immediately so he could prepare early.

A God-Slayer Lin Yu who possessed Emperor-level strength was likewise an enormous threat to her young master Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They had to handle it carefully.

However, the instant Monet reached the Den Den Mushi, a bolt of lightning materialized out of thin air and struck it, destroying it.

Monet's face changed, and she turned her head to look beside her.

She saw an air door appear not far from her.

And God-Slayer Lin Yu was walking out of it with Smoothie, Runti, and the others.

This is bad......

Seeing Lin Yu appear, Monet's heart sank to the bottom.

The next second, another bolt of lightning flew from Lin Yu's fingertip, struck Monet, and paralyzed her to the ground.

"Catch him."

Lin Yu glanced in the direction Caesar had fled and instructed Smoothie and Runti.

Smoothie and Runti nodded and simultaneously charged after Caesar.

"Dammit, they've already infiltrated."

Caesar, who had only just walked a short distance, saw Smoker and Runty chasing after him, and was instantly scared out of his wits, accelerating his escape.

Seeing Smoker and Runty leave, Lin Yu then turned to Rebecca, Nami, and the others and said: "You all go search the situation inside the research institute first, deal with Caesar's subordinates, and take complete control of the experimental data and the laboratory."

Putting everything else aside, Lin Yu was still very interested in the experimental data on those artificial Devil Fruits from Caesar's group.

Rebecca and the others nodded, and also left the room to search the research institute, to prevent Caesar from destroying the data.

After doing all this, Lin Yu then turned his head to look at Monet and smiled:

"Miss Monet, from now on you are my person."
