"Zehahaha... You're joking, Caesar. What secrets could I have? I don't even understand my own situation. This must be sothing innate. Maybe my body is just... sturdier?"
"Sturdier?"
Caesar raised an eyebrow, flexing his right arm and clenching his fist.
Crack crack.
The bulging muscles on his thick arm squird like rats, tendons rising like coiled pythons, distorting the very air with their terrifying power.
Caesar pressed his black horns against Blackbeard and said mockingly.
"Blackbeard, how about we wrestle? Let's see who's sturdier."
"Ahem... heh, I was just joking, Caesar. Don't take it seriously."
Blackbeard forced an awkward laugh, terrified that Caesar might punch him again like he did during the day.
His frail body couldn't handle Caesar's "gentle" fists.
Caesar relaxed his fist and pounded his chest heartily.
"I won't take your secret for nothing. How about this—I'll give you 30% of Buggy's territory. Fair enough?"
"Heh, really, I don't know why I can..." Blackbeard was about to explain when Caesar suddenly stood up, his massive fra bursting through the ceiling.
Caesar's face darkened with rage. "Fine! After all my hospitality, this is how you repay ? Linlin! Linlin! Call everyone over—Kaido, Ganzui, Katakuri, and yes, Shanks too!"
Outside the room, Linlin's voice rang out: "Oh, I'll contact them with the Den Den Mushi right away."
Blackbeard rolled his eyes.
The plaza is barely a few miles away.
Your shout could be heard across all of Whole Cake Island—who needs a Den Den Mushi
Blackbeard let out a bitter sigh and spoke up, "Calm down, calm down now. Hey, listen to , Caesar. I genuinely don't know how I can possess two abilities. It might have sothing to do with my body's structure."
"You might not know this, but I've never slept a wink since the day I was born. I'm always full of energy, and I eat everything with gusto—my back's strong, my legs are sturdy, and my body's in top shape! Cough, cough, don't get mad now, put the knife down first."
"I reckon that the key to having multiple abilities lies in having a body strong enough to handle it. Tell you what, I can help you out for free this once. You provide with a Devil Fruit user, and I'll extract their ability for you. Zehaha, it's the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit—you should know about that."
"Now, if you're not afraid of the risks, you could try rging a second ability. But let give you a friendly warning—I've done so experints. Even the weakest Devil Fruit ability, when placed on soone who already has one, either doesn't take effect and vanishes outright, or the person just... explodes, and the ability disappears with them."
Caesar stared coldly at Blackbeard for a long ti, making him squirm internally, before shrinking his size and magically switching to a broad grin.
Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!
Caesar reached out with his massive hand and gave Blackbeard's shoulder several hearty slaps, making him grimace in pain as his shoulder burned and his chest wound throbbed.
"BORORORO! That's my good brother for you! Co on, let's head to Sweet Island right now and test out your thod. If it works, we'll swear brotherhood—different fathers, different mothers, but brothers all the sa! And if it doesn't work, well, we'll et in the afterlife, and that'll be a joyous occasion too!"
Blackbeard's eyelids twitched violently.
He felt like coming to Totto Land was akin to a lamb walking into a slaughterhouse, a at bun thrown at a dog!
"Caesar, what about my injuries...?"
Caesar slung an arm around Blackbeard's neck again, grinning.
"Ah, what's a little injury to you? Can't possibly trouble my little brother, can it? Have so drinks, eat so at, and you'll be right as rain in no ti!"
'Do you think i'm a monster like you?!' Blackbeard scread internally, seething with resentnt.
'Tsk... This bastard already has a second ability lined up? His standards are anything but ordinary. His first ability is an ultra-rare Mythical Zoan, the legendary infinite Life Force—a universal auxiliary reservoir. What kind of ability could he possibly be eyeing for his second one?'
Staggering as Caesar dragged him by the neck, Blackbeard was hauled out of the house again.
This ti, Caesar headed straight for the side wall of the living room.
BOOM!
Covered in dust, Blackbeard smashed headfirst through a foot-thick wall.
The mont they stepped out, the house collapsed with a thunderous roar.
Caesar shot Linlin a aningful glance before striding through the streets toward the port.
Along the way, the newly appointed construction minister of the Beast God Pirates, foreman Pica, silently passed by Caesar and the others, wearing a steel helt on his head.
When Caesar returned to the large table, he found only Kaido and Doflamingo still drinking heavily.
He blinked in confusion and asked, "Where are the others? Gone to sleep?"
Doflamingo grinned and pointed under the table.
Caesar looked down to see a whole crowd sprawled beneath it.
Shanks was blowing enormous snot bubbles, one foot planted squarely on Rayleigh's face.
Van Augur was nibbling on Doc Q's toes with a blissful expression on his face.
Isaac and Sunbell were sprawled out on their backs, not even wearing pants, completely exposed.
Beckman, the refined gentleman, was tangled up with Crocodile in a rather undignified pose.
These guys were drunk beyond help—but what else could they do?
Just look at who they were drinking with!
Rayleigh—a notorious drunkard.
Kaido—a... drinking monster.
When these big shots offer you a drink, you don't refuse.
What, do you disrespect the right-hand man of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh?
Huh? Is the title of "Strongest Creature" not intimidating enough?
Or has Kaido the Dragon lost his grip on his club?
Caesar shrugged, a wicked thought crossing his mind.
If he struck now, could he take out these top-tier fighters of the world?
Of course, it was just a passing thought. Maybe he could pull it off.
But it wouldn't be easy.
These guys were drunk, sure, but they weren't like ordinary people who completely let their guard down.
Even if he couldn't kill them, he could still have so fun!
"Queen! Queen!" Caesar bellowed.
"Coming, coming! Caesar-sama, you called? What's up?"
A rolling mountain of flesh wobbled over—Queen, his face slick with grease.
"You got a cara?" Caesar asked.
