Caesar spread his arms out proudly, completely unaware that his every move was being broadcast live to the entire world.
Watching the Marine soldiers desperately trying to rescue the imprisoned children, Caesar sneered dismissively:
"Go ahead and rescue them, these test subjects are dime a dozen. You Marines talk about justice all day, but the things you do behind the scenes are ten thousand times dirtier than mine!"
His cold gaze swept over everyone, "At least my research is pushing scientific progress, while you..."
"Shut up! We are the New Navy, not the so-called Marine you're talking about!"
Ain interrupted sharply, the long sword in her hand glinting with cold light, "Caesar Clown, your crimes have been broadcast live to the whole world! Governments of various countries, civilians, everyone has seen your atrocities of experimenting on living people!"
She pointed to the phone that was still broadcasting, "Now the whole world is jointly demanding your execution!"
The comments in the live stream were completely out of control:
"This lunatic must die!"
"Marines, hurry up and do it!"
"Those poor children... Oh my god..."
Only then did Caesar notice the phone in the corner, his face instantly turning ashen: "Wh... what?!" He violently waved his hand and shot out a poison gas bomb, trying to block the phone, but Ain dodged and blocked it.
"Too late, Caesar." Zephyr's voice came from the communicator, calm with killing intent, "Your experimental data, your crimes, all the evidence has been recorded. Now, it's time to pay for the lives you've harmed."
Ain's sword point was aimed directly at Caesar: "In the name of justice, you will be ended here today!"
The New Navy soldiers behind her raised their weapons one after another, surrounding Caesar.
The atmosphere in the entire laboratory instantly dropped to freezing point, even the lingering poisonous mist seemed to solidify.
Cold sweat seeped from Caesar's forehead, but soon a sinister smile appeared again: "Shurororo... Just with you guys? On my turf?" His body began to swell, turning into a mass of purple poisonous gas, "Let me show you what real suffocation is!"
Just as Caesar was laughing wildly and preparing to release even more violent poisonous gas, Ain's figure suddenly disappeared. The next second, she had instantly moved close to Caesar's side!
"Unforgivable!"
No one expected Ain's movements to be so fast!
A strange red light appeared on her palm - it was the prelude to the activation of her Retrograde-Retrograde Fruit ability!
"What?!" Caesar's pupils shrank, and before he could react, Ain's hand had gently pressed on his shoulder.
"Twelve years."
Buzz—!
In an instant, Caesar's body trembled violently. His skin became visibly tender and full at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his originally arrogant expression was instantly replaced by horror. The whole person actually became younger!
However, Ain didn't give him a chance to breathe. The second palm followed closely!
"Another twelve years."
"No, no, that's enough—!!" Caesar's terrified voice stopped abruptly. His body became younger again, his originally strong body quickly shrank, his muscles shrank, his bones shrank, his hair became shorter, and his voice became that of a child!
"Again!"
"Again!"
"....No... don't~~"
In just two seconds, this arrogant mad scientist's age regressed by forty-eight years!
Turning him into a 7-year-old child, staring blankly at everything around him!
The live stream completely exploded!
"Holy shit! What kind of ability is this?!"
"Directly aging people? That's terrifying!"
"Serves him right! This is how you deal with this kind of beast!"
Caesar slumped to the ground, raising his tender little hand trembling, completely unable to believe how he had returned to his childhood?!
Now, let alone fighting, he probably can't even pick up a gun.
"No... impossible... my power... my research..."
His voice was childishly sharp, and his once arrogant ambition seemed so ridiculous in front of his weak body.
Ain looked down at him coldly: "Your era is over, Caesar."
The New Navy soldiers who had been waiting quickly stepped forward and 'clicked' a Sea Stone handcuff on him, completely cutting off any possibility of resistance.
One of the soldiers kicked him in disgust: "Take him away! Escort him directly to the execution platform!"
In the live stream, countless viewers were frantically flooding the comments:
"Satisfying!"
"This kind of person doesn't deserve to live in this world!"
"Those children he harmed can finally rest in peace..."
Just as the New Navy successfully arrested Caesar, the situation outside had fallen into extreme crisis!
"Quickly withdraw! Everyone retreat!" The executives of the Doflamingo Family frantically ordered their subordinates to retreat rapidly.
They saw that the purple monster called "Death Land" was expanding wildly, leaving nothing alive in its path.
Trees withered and decayed the moment they touched the poisonous gas, the surface of rocks was corroded with honeycomb-like holes, and even steel was rusting and disintegrating at a visible speed!
Doflamingo stood on a high place, his eyes under his sunglasses shifting between cloudy and clear: "Fufufu... Caesar, this lunatic, is trying to drag us all down!" He violently waved his hand, "All executives immediately evacuate the island!"
Dellinger looked at his iron boots starting to rust in horror: "Young Master! This poisonous gas can even corrode metal!"
"Shut up! Go!" Diamante grabbed him and ran back.
On the other side, the New Navy force led by Zephyr was also in trouble. Ain came out with the young Caesar and saw the sky-covering poisonous mist approaching.
"Teacher! The spread of Death Land is faster than expected!" Ain reported anxiously.
Zephyr clenched his mechanical arm, his face grim: "We must stop it from spreading further, otherwise the entire island will become a dead zone!" He turned to the soldiers behind him, "Immediately activate the emergency evacuation plan, prioritize the evacuation of civilians!"
Although the live stream had been shut down, the images transmitted back through the live stream still caused an uproar at Navy Headquarters.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku slammed his fist on the table: "Immediately dispatch the Buster Call fleet! If necessary... don't hesitate to destroy the entire island!"
Just then, an unexpected figure suddenly rushed towards the center of the poisonous mist.
"Is that... Vice Admiral Smoker?!"
White Hunter Smoker elementalized his entire body into smoke and rushed into the densest part of the poisonous mist without hesitation: "Tashigi! Take the brothers and go first!" His voice echoed in the poisonous mist, "I'll buy time, we absolutely cannot let this guy harm the entire island!"
"White Vine!"
Smoker roared, and a surging white smoke erupted from his entire body, rushing towards the about-to-explode "Death Land" like a tsunami.
His body was completely elementalized, colliding head-on with the overwhelming purple poisonous gas!
Boom—!!!
Death Land exploded the moment it was touched, and a terrifying wave of poison swept out like a tsunami.
However, Smoker's smoke was like an invisible large net, madly infiltrating every wisp of spreading poisonous gas!
"Is he crazy?!" Drake's eyes widened in shock from a distance, "Directly using his body to fuse with the venom?!"
But Smoker's plan was far more astonishing than they imagined,
"Smoke Haze - Heavenly Lock!!"
