On the deck of the Queen mama charter, Caesar and the others sat drinking, sharing their recent experiences with Kaido, King, and the rest.
"There's not much to say about Elbaf. In short, all the giants were captured by me and Linlin, except for a few unlucky ones who died. That guy over there is the king of the Giant tribe, named Loki. He's quite stubborn and was very resistant along the way."
Kaido tilted his chin toward the giant king Loki, who was casually tied up on the deck.
Loki sat on the deck, looking left at Caesar, then right at Shiki, then at Kaido and Linlin.
Suddenly, he deflated like a punctured ball, slumping down entirely.
'Damn, why is the outside world so terrifying?'
Loki had actually thought he could lead the Giant tribe to rule the world!
Before even leaving the village, he was brutally beaten by two great villains.
He had been scheming about how to turn the tables, how to gather strength and ambush Kaido and Linlin.
But it turns out there are two even more terrifying ones!Especially the one who looked very similar to Kaido but was much taller gave Loki goosebumps all over.
That abyssal, terrifying aura made him completely unable to muster the resolve to resist.
Doflamingo sat foolishly beside Caesar, his eyes darting around.
Ever since joining the Beast God Pirates, Doffy had discovered that his over-three-meter height had turned him into a complete dwarf.
In the past, pirates in the New World referred to the executives of the Blackbeard Pirates as giant captains.
But looking around now, those so-called giants compared to the people before him—whether in terms of physique or combat power—were like ants to giant trees, fireflies to the bright moon.
Of course, excluding the 180-meter-tall San Juan Wolf.
Caesar stood at 9,3 meters, Linlin at 8,8, Kaido at 7,2 and Shiki temporarily at 6,5.
King at 6,13, Moria at 6,82.
And now they had captured a bunch of giants from Elbaf.
The Beast God Pirates had completely become a gathering place for non-humans.
None of them were normal people!
If you weren't over six meters tall, you'd be too embarrassed to show your face!
And what was up with that sweet-faced man?
His bulging muscles were like skinned bullfrogs.
Yet he had a face that could topple nations and cities!
"Caesar, what exactly happened in Wano Country?" Linlin asked with a smile.
Caesar glanced at Shiki, who gave him a meaningful look.
Caesar immediately understood that the Pluton must have been hidden by Shiki in the sky island above.
This ancient weapon—Caesar hadn't yet figured out how to use it, couldn't even open the hatch temporarily unless through brute force destruction.
So for now, it could only be hidden away.
And the sky island Vearth, 10,000 meters above the ground, was the perfect treasure hiding spot.
"Borororo! It was those bastards from the Revolutionary Army! They went to Wano Country and stole that red Poneglyph!"
Immediately, Caesar skipped over the matter of the Pluton, not planning to reveal it now.
"No way? Is Dragon that powerful? Even you couldn't stop him?" Kaido expressed surprise.
Caesar chuckled darkly. "Dragon is no ordinary opponent, Kaido. You might not actually be a match for him. He's mastered his fully awakened Wind-Wind Fruit abilities and possesses the Power of Destruction Rules. His lethality is quite formidable. If not for my exceptionally vigorous vitality, I might have actually been defeated this time."
"That powerful? Worororo, no wonder he's the world's worst criminal!"
Kaido didn't argue about it; he naturally held some respect for the mysterious Dragon.
"Of course, since I was there, they had to pay something if they wanted to leave."
Caesar's lips curled into an evil smile.
"One hundred and twenty billion Berries, plus three countries in the New World—that's the price the Revolutionary Army paid for meddling in my territory!"
"What? One hundred and twenty billion? And three countries?"
Caesar's words shocked everyone on the ship.
Especially Doffy, Crocodile, and Moria—the three former Seven Warlords.
Inflation in this world was quite severe.
A good-quality sword like Sandai Kitetsu was only worth 50,000 Berries.
Any random pirate captain in the New World had a bounty of several hundred million.
Jack the Drought's bounty was one billion Berries, equivalent to 20,000 Sandai Kitetsus.
Although it was said that the price was so low because of the cursed nature of the Kitetsu.
120 billion berries was still too outrageous.
You should know, even the Pirate King Roger's bounty was only around five billion berries.
"The Revolutionary Army has really profited immensely from war—they're so rich! Indeed, war is the fastest way to make money!"
Doflamingo's eyes gleamed with excitement.
Back when he was one of the Seven Warlords, his influence spanned the entire world, and he did business everywhere.
But even then, his annual profits were only a few hundred billion berries, and he still had to share a portion with his subordinates.
Linlin laughed, "Dragon must have suffered a huge loss this time. By the way, Caesar, what do you need countries for?
As far as I know, the countries the Revolutionary Army has occupied in the New World are all land-based nations. That's because the island nations in the New World are all controlled by the Yonko, making it difficult for the Revolutionary Army to intervene.
As for land-based countries, they're generally located below the Red Line and have close ties with the World Government. I think Dragon agreed so easily to give you three countries because he likely wants you to clash with the World Government."
Caesar nodded, "You're right, but if it comes to facing the World Government, so be it! Those bastards actually dared to ambush little Katakuri while we were away—they're really asking for trouble! This time, I plan to teach them a harsh lesson, crush the Marines in the New World, and just like forty years ago, drive the World Government's influence completely out of the New World!"
Gulp.
Doflamingo couldn't help but swallow hard, his mind racing, unable to remain calm.
Although Caesar had mentioned it to him a few times before, Doflamingo ultimately didn't let Morgans announce it to the world in advance.
After all, Caesar and the others hadn't returned yet, and Katakuri and Yamato hadn't awakened.
But now that Caesar was saying it again, the meaning was completely different.
This time, the New World was likely to be thrown into turmoil.
The enraged Beast God Pirates vs. the New World Marine Headquarters!
"Wororororo, it's about time we gave those arrogant bastards a painful memory! What's the plan? Should we march directly to G-1?"
Kaido couldn't help but feel excited.
"Hmph! First, we'll destroy all the military bases except the Marine Headquarters, then march on G-1 and crush the Marine Headquarters!"
A cruel smile appeared on Caesar's face.
"By the way, Caesar, didn't you say Ganzui was here too? Why haven't I seen him?"
Shiki suddenly asked.
Caesar was also puzzled.
Logically, Doflamingo had notified all the senior officers of the Beast God Pirates three days ago, instructing everyone to gather in Tottoland.
Ganzui's absence was indeed somewhat unreasonable.
He couldn't help but glance at Doflamingo beside him.
Before he could ask, Doflamingo provided the answer.
"Ganzui... has gone missing."
