Chapter 193 Caesar and Quinn
Caesar Clown entered Wano Country with trepidation.
Although the surrounding scenery was magnificent and beautiful, he had no time to pay attention to it. He was only thinking about the unknown fate he was about to face.
The ship slowly sailed into the port. When the anchor dropped, footsteps were heard on the deck. Caesar's heart beat faster and the cold sweat on his forehead became more frequent.
When the ship arrived at its destination, a tall and fat figure was already waiting for him in front.
That man was very conspicuous.
He is bald, wears sunglasses, has purple lips, a golden braid on his head, is fat and round, has a mechanically modified prosthetic limb in his left hand, has two golden whiskers on his mouth, a golden ponytail behind his head, and wears sunglasses tied with two ropes.
Holding a cigar in his hand, he was looking towards Caesar.
Caesar recognized him and secretly groaned in his heart:
"Quinn..."
Caesar Courant murmured.
He was an old acquaintance of the man in front of him who had joined the Beasts Pirates. After all, they used to work in the same research institute.
The other party had already colluded with Kaido before he even withdrew from MADS.
Seeing him again now, Caesar only felt powerlessness and fear.
Quinn smoked a cigar and laughed:
"Oh, Caesar, it's great to see you again."
His voice was loud, with a hint of mockery and contempt.
Although they had seen each other every day before, he could never like Caesar.
Caesar gave a forced smile and responded reluctantly:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
His voice was slightly trembling, trying his best to hide his inner anxiety.
"What do you want me to come here for this time?"
Quinn laughed, walked forward, and patted Caesar's shoulder hard with his big palm, with such force that Caesar almost lost his balance.
"Come with me, you'll know when you get there."
There was an unquestionable command in Quinn's words.
After saying that, Quinn took the lead and walked forward. His back looked even more majestic, while Caesar was monitored by several pirates and followed behind Quinn.
Caesar only felt that the air around him became heavy. The other party "invited" him here, which was definitely not a good thing.
They passed through the port and entered the heart of Wano Country.
There were lush forests and towering mountains on both sides of the road. Although the scenery was beautiful, it became extremely gloomy in Caesar's eyes.
He did not dare to relax at all and looked around nervously, fearing that any danger might suddenly appear.
Quinn walked in front, looking back at Caesar from time to time with a sly smile on his face.
Caesar had no choice but to follow, constantly thinking of countermeasures in his mind.
Along the way, Caesar secretly glanced at Quinn from time to time, hoping to find some clues from his expression.
But Quinn always maintained that confident and complacent look, which made Caesar even more uneasy.
Finally, they came to a huge mountain.
Caesar's heart tightened, he knew that the real test had just begun.
Quinn stopped, turned around, and said with a smile:
"We're here, Caesar. Welcome to the research base in Wano Country."
Caesar took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm.
He knew that no matter what was waiting for him ahead, he had to go.
Following Quinn into the fortress, he prayed silently in his heart, hoping that he could survive this crisis safely.
Inside the cave.
Jinan's ears moved, and he was keenly aware of the changes around him.
After a period of rest, his injuries had healed a little and he was able to sense what was happening within a certain range.
He turned to Yamato and said:
"Someone is coming, you should leave as soon as possible."
Yamato's aura was much weaker than when he first entered the cave, but he still maintained a stubborn expression.
"It's just Kaido's people coming. I'm not afraid."
"DaDaDa..."
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, echoing in the cave, and seemed unusually clear.
Jinan sighed, knowing that even if Yamato wanted to leave now he couldn't.
He looked at her helplessly, feeling somewhat complicated.
Outside the cave, Caesar felt cold all over. Why was this road getting more and more remote?
He looked around anxiously, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Kaido is in here?"
Quinn turned around and looked at Caesar with a half-smile, his eyes revealing a hint of mockery and indifference.
"Of course Lord Kaido is not here."
"If you show your value first, maybe Lord Kaido will consider meeting you."
Caesar's doubts deepened. He frowned and his voice trembled.
"Then what's inside is..."
Quinn didn't answer and continued walking forward.
Caesar had no choice but to keep up. At this moment, he had no way to retreat and could only keep moving forward.
Entering the cave, Caesar felt the air become colder and damper. It was dark all around, with only the faint light of the torches illuminating the way ahead.
As the footsteps approached, Jinan and Yamato looked at each other, each with their own thoughts in their minds.
Quinn led Caesar into the cave entrance, his eyes quickly swept over Jinan and Yamato, a sneer appeared on his face,
"Hey, isn't this Jin An? It seems your injury has healed a little."
Jin An looked at Quinn calmly without responding.
Caesar stared at Jinan with eyes wide open in shock.
"Jin'an? Why is he here?"
He originally thought that he was brought to see Kaido alone, but unexpectedly he met this rising star in the navy.
Quinn patted Caesar on the shoulder and said sarcastically:
"You asked a good question. Lord Kaido just wants to see if you smart people can bring him any unexpected value."
When Caesar heard this, his heart tightened.
He understood that the man in front of him was Kaido's test of him, and he could be said to be just a chess piece now.
He looked at Jin An and couldn't help feeling a little comforted. At least there was still an unlucky guy with him.
And the other party is even worse off.
Yamato stood beside Jinan, her eyes full of vigilance and hostility. She clenched her fists, ready to attack at any time.
Quinn sneered at the two men and waved his hand, signaling his men to retreat.
"Well, Caesar,"
Quinn's voice echoed in the cave, carrying unquestionable majesty.
"Among all of us, you have done the most in-depth research on the 'bloodline factor'."
When Caesar heard this, his heart tightened and cold sweat broke out on his forehead again.
"The person in front of you ate the Azure Dragon Fruit."
Quinn pointed at Jin An and continued,
"Your mission is to use him and your research to create a devil fruit."
Caesar opened his mouth and looked at Jin An in astonishment, then turned to Quinn, with a storm in his heart.
"Is this why I was brought here?" He muttered to himself, his thoughts racing.
In this case, Kaido would never do anything to him, after all, only he and Vegapunk were doing this research.
Caesar took a deep breath, he was now half safe.
As for the rest, it depends on whether we can produce results.
"Quinn, this mission requires a lot of equipment and materials,"
Caesar forced a smile, his voice trembling slightly.
“I need some time and resources to prepare.”
Quinn smiled faintly and patted Caesar on the shoulder.
"Don't worry about these. Lord Kaido has already prepared them for you. You just need to concentrate on your research."
"but,"
A cold light flashed in Quinn's eyes, and his voice became low and threatening.
"If you play tricks, you will suffer the consequences."
Caesar nodded quickly, and cold sweat continued to appear on his forehead.
"I understand. I'll do my best."
Quinn nodded with satisfaction, turned and left the cave.
Caesar looked at his back, then looked at Jin An.
"Um, Lieutenant General Jin An, can I discuss something with you?"
"Can you give me some of your blood?"
Yamato glanced at Caesar.
'Do you dare to try?'
