Chapter 507

At this moment, the children began to play happily to the side.

Not long after, one small child suddenly became extremely irritable.

He scratched his skin frantically, even tearing his clothes, leaving behind bloody wounds.

Seeing this, Chopper immediately stepped forward to restrain the child, then injected him with a sedative while performing various examinations on his body.

The results showed that there seemed to be a strange substance inside the child's body.

"It's... it's poison-gu! These lunatics actually planted poison-gu in these children!" Chopper said angrily.

"What? Someone actually used poison-gu on these children?" Nami asked in shock.

"Yes! All these children have a peculiar scent of poison-gu on them!" Chopper said, gritting his teeth.

At this time, the group of children began to have reactions one after another, all of them rolling on the ground in pain.

"It hurts! My head hurts so much! I want candy! I want candy!"

"Mom! Dad! Help! Save me!"

"So hot, so itchy!"

"Hey! Chopper, hurry and cure them!" Luffy shouted anxiously.

Chopper was also asking what had been done to these children while they were being held captive.

"When we woke up, we found ourselves locked in here. Usually, they just check our bodies, and after the check-up, they give us some candy and cookies. I've never seen them in this much pain like today."

"Are you sure what they gave you to eat was just candy and cookies?"

"Yeah, it's just candy and cookies. We have to eat them, or else; those adults just watch us eat from the side."

Chopper carefully examined each child's blood and finally found a trace of black marks on the children's necks.

"It is as I thought! They planted something called a gu inside you!"

Chopper used silver needles to pierce the children's blood vessels, and sure enough, that thin black line emerged.

"Damn it! What exactly are they trying to do!" Chopper roared in anger.

"The candy and cookies these children eat are what control the gu from acting up!"

"Bastards! How dare they! How dare they! They are a bunch of animals!" Chopper cursed excitedly.

As a doctor, he felt deep shame and resentment for this behavior of using children for experiments.

If these gu-insects grow any larger, these children will surely die!

"Your name is Tea Beard, right? How much do you really know about this workshop? And you still say your master is some kind of savior? He is nothing but a demon wearing human skin!

You should be very clear about this business of using children to cultivate poison-gu and using them to achieve his own goals, right?"

Chopper stared at Tea Beard with a cold sneer.

Tea Beard's expression changed, but he still quibbled: "Mr. Chopper, please watch your words. My master's character is not at all what you say. He just wants to benefit more people!

Our master would absolutely never use any child; they are all innocent!"

"Heh, take a good look at these children. Isn't their current painful state enough to prove how deep your master's sins are?" Chopper retorted.

Luffy looked at the children's painful appearance and asked Chopper: "Chopper, can you make those candies and cookies? Would they feel better if they ate them?"

"Absolutely not! Those candies will make them addicted, and it will make the poison-gu inside their bodies stronger and stronger!

In the end, their consciousness will gradually lose itself, and they will become bloodthirsty. So, it is absolutely forbidden!"

"Then what should we do?" Luffy asked anxiously.

Chopper fell silent. If only there were an antidote!

A child beside Luffy begged Luffy in great pain: "Straw Hat big brother, can you get me some candy? I hurt so much, wuwuwu!"

Luffy patted the little boy's head: "Endure it a little longer. Chopper said you absolutely cannot eat those things anymore, otherwise you will really become addicted! Then it will be truly over!"

Hearing Luffy say this, the boy's eyes immediately turned red.

He kept roaring forcefully: "Ahhh! Why! Why won't you give me candy to eat!"

Suddenly, he stood up and punched Luffy, the force so great it knocked Luffy directly to the ground.

"Straw Hat big brother, are you okay?" A girl ran over anxiously to help Luffy up.

The other children also rushed toward Luffy.

"This strength is too great!" Franky said, frowning.

"No wonder, these are children of the Giant race; their strength is naturally greater than ordinary people!" Nami said seriously.

"No! That's not it!"

Another child spoke up to explain: "We aren't any Giant race. When we first arrived here, we only had the height of normal human children."

Everyone was suddenly enlightened upon hearing this.

At this time, the beaten Luffy climbed up with difficulty.

"So that's how it is. Did those experiments turn you into this state?"

"I think so. The children who come here, the longer they stay, the bigger their bodies get! Ah! My head hurts so much, candy! I want candy!"

"I hurt too!"

At this time, two or three more children wailed in pain; they had completely fallen into a state of madness.

Soon, all the children here began to attack the people around them indiscriminately. They used every method they knew to hurt others, and the scene was very chaotic.

Luffy and his group had no way to strike back at them, so they had to keep dodging and fleeing the area.

"No! We must stop them! We can't let them continue to go crazy!"

"But we can't strike and hurt them. These children have suffered enough; it would be too cruel if we did that."

Luffy and his group discussed countermeasures anxiously.

At this time, Usopp took out his slingshot: "Let me handle it! Green Star — Sleepy Grass!"

Small green flowers instantly bloomed at the children's feet.

As the Sleepy Grass began to emit its fragrance, the children who were still attacking them stopped their movements one after another.

The crazed children gradually fell into a deep sleep.

"Phew... it's finally over! These children are too pitiful!" Nami said with lingering fear.

"Luffy! It seems we have another mission this time. I think we must cure the children here!" Chopper said firmly.

"That's right, I think so too!" Franky seconded.

"I agree too. Let's cause a huge scene here and find the culprit who started all this!" Luffy shouted heroically.

The Straw Hat Pirates began to split into three groups. One group was Sanji, Zoro, and Brook, taking the samurai from Yingzhou to find the samurai's upper body.

Another group was Chopper and Nami, who stayed behind to take care of the children.

The remaining people, led by Luffy, went to search the surroundings.

At this time, Law took Caesar's heart and went to find Caesar.

"This is the heart of the Imperial Guard's fifth division general, Caesar. Consider it a gift for you!"

Caesar took the heart and examined it carefully.

【What? My Law is actually in cahoots with trash like Caesar? I don't believe Law would be that kind of person!】

【I don't believe it either, Law must have his reasons!】

【The people above, stop making excuses. No matter the reason, you can't associate with such trash! I think Law is a thorough hypocrite, pretending to be a good person.】

"Law, I really like this gift of yours. I've long wanted to get rid of those meddlesome Imperial Guards. As for you, I hope you don't make any more foolish mistakes."

Caesar said to Law earnestly, as if he were lecturing a junior.

Law sat on the chair in front of Caesar and said disdainfully: "Stop lecturing me. My business doesn't need your concern."

"Hmph, don't forget, I am the master of this island! As long as I wish, all of you ants must die." Caesar said with a cold sneer.

Law mocked: "Don't forget either! We are all people working for the family head. If you dare to delay the family head's business, you won't have it easy. Am I right, Monet?"

Hearing Law's words, Monet, who had been facing away from the two, slowly turned around and looked at Caesar.

"Law! What are you doing? Are you threatening me?"

Caesar glared at Law. He had never imagined that Law would dare to threaten him so blatantly. Was he not afraid of him anymore?

This brat really needs a lesson!

"Heh! I don't want to talk to you about these irrelevant things. How do you plan to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates?" Law asked indifferently, seemingly completely unaffected.

Caesar said sinisterly: "Kill them all! I have already dispatched the Snow Mountain Assassin duo. Mere Straw Hat Luffy wants to run wild on my turf! It's simply wishful thinking!"

Just as Caesar was speaking, an assassin named Zhao Xiang reported the situation via long-distance telepathy.
