"Kid, didn't your parents teach you not to interrupt when soone's busy? That's just rude!"
Caesar watched the incoming inferno and threw a punch in response!
BOOM!
A violent gale erupted mid-air, compressing the atmosphere into layers resembling Kuma's air cannons, instantly obliterating the massive fireball.
Sabo's fiery form exploded into a shower of sparks.
Caesar continued examining Kuma's mories.
Kuma had been modified by the World Governnt, and the one responsible for his transformation was none other than the elusive genius scientist, Dr. Vegapunk—renowned for being 500 years ahead of the world in technology.
What a legend.
Not only had Vegapunk developed the technology to grant inanimate objects Devil Fruit powers, but he'd also created the Pacifistas, artificial Devil Fruits, and even delved deep into Judge's cloning research.
Ever since the mysterious research facility in the North Blue was destroyed thirty years ago, Vegapunk had been held captive by the World Governnt, forced to conduct endless experints.
Now, three decades later, who knew what kind of wonders he'd concocted?
How could Caesar resist such temptation?
"Oh? Found it. So this is what Vegapunk looks like. No wonder he's so brilliant—his head is literally longer than others'."
Caesar finally uncovered the image of the person who modified Kuma in his mories.
It was an elderly man whose body appeared perfectly normal except for one striking feature—a sausage-like elongated head paired with unusually large earlobes that imdiately drew attention.
His head was four or five tis longer than that of an ordinary person, looking extrely bizarre, as if he were not a species from this world.
"mory Shear!"
Upon seeing Vegapunk's appearance, Caesar lost interest in Kuma's mories.
But simply erasing them would an losing the technology related to the Pacifista modification experints stored within, which seed like a waste.
Therefore, without hesitation, Caesar used so of the mory-mory Fruit's abilities to temporarily shear Kuma's mories, still sealing them within his body.
"What did you do to Kuma?! Stop right now!"
Sabo's furious voice rang out again, making Caesar frown in annoyance.
"Annoying fly."
Caesar directly erased the mories before he could even issue any commands, leaving Kuma in a dazed state as he dropped him from the sky.
Releasing his massive golden fist, he extended a single finger and pointed at Sabo.
"I've had enough of you, brat! Co on! If you don't win today, not only will you die here, but I'll also take good care of your little wife for you!"
"You bastard!!"
Sabo's eyes nearly burst from rage, his teeth clenched so tightly that his gums bled, his entire face twisted in fury, turning his handso features into sothing terrifying.
BOOM!
Extre anger caused the power of the Fla-Fla Fruit within Sabo to go completely berserk!
Like a volcanic eruption, endless flas surged from his body, an unending torrent that turned the entire sky into a sea of fire!
"Crimson Lotus—Karmic Fire Hell!!"
Sabo's arms exploded outward, transforming into two massive Fla Dragon Claws, each one crimson and crystalline, solidifying into fiery chains that clattered out from his body, coiling around him like blood-red whips.
At this mont, Sabo seed to have beco the God of Flas!
"Caesar!"
Sabo's eyes spewed scorching flas, carrying overwhelming heat as his Fla Dragon Claws distorted the air, slashing toward Caesar.
"Borororo! Not bad! That power's already on par with an Admiral!"
Caesar laughed wildly, not bothering to dodge.
Instead, he flapped his enormous golden wings, splitting the sea of flas apart as he raised his right arm.
The tendons in his arm twanged like bowstrings, emitting a spine-chilling tension.
"Thunder God Eight Trigrams!"
His colossal golden fist, now covered in sharp bone spikes, punched forward—the very atmosphere trembled and wailed as the entire sea of fire erupted in a cataclysmic explosion.
Twisting streaks of jet-black Conqueror's Haki lightning, like the branches of towering ancient trees or a spider's web, filled the void, as if splitting space itself.
On the golden fist, thunderbolts crackled and bood, blue-white lightning coiling into a dragon that wrapped around Caesar's massive arm, baring its fangs and claws as it lunged toward Sabo's flaming dragon!
BOOOOM!!
Thunder and fire collided—the world instantly fell silent, leaving only a blinding radiance that could sear the eyes of anyone who dared look.
"Guh—ah!"
Countless bolts of lightning scattered, blasting through the flaming dragon as Caesar's fist, clad in Armant Haki, smashed squarely against Sabo's!
The next mont—Sabo's face twisted in agony.
His once-proud Armant Haki-infused Fla Dragon Claw shattered like cheap toilet paper under Caesar's colossal golden fist—utterly defenseless!
He watched helplessly as his right fist crumpled, bent backward, and snapped.
Pale bone fragnts jutted from the broken joint, blood spraying like a high-pressure water cannon over ten ters before evaporating in the sea of flas.
For a mont, the air was thick with the nauseating stench of blood.
Caesar's Haki was overwhelmingly potent.
Even as a Logia-type user with inherent immunity to physical damage, Sabo still suffered devastating injuries!
Gritting his teeth against the pain, Sabo forcibly straightened his shattered wrist, cauterizing the wound with his own flas to stem the bleeding.
His face was pale, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead as he looked up at the inferno above.
There, wreathed in golden wings and muscles coiled like a dragon, Caesar stood—his titanic fra crackling with arcs of lightning that parted the flas, carving a path through the void.
He looked like a thunder god incarnate.
"Almost forgot—I can control ice too! Borororo! Frozen Wasteland!"
Caesar bared his razor-sharp fangs in a grin as an icy-blue frost aura exploded from his mountainous body, spreading for miles in an instant.
The void fire Sabo had conjured was snuffed out in a heartbeat.
Panting heavily, Sabo glared at the approaching Caesar, his despair and helplessness deepening.
The gap between them was insurmountable!
His flas couldn't even penetrate Caesar's Armant Haki armor, let alone injure this monstrous brute.
Sabo now doubted whether he could even harm this inhuman beast even if he bypassed the Haki defense.
"Ace! The Will of Fire you passed down to ... I fear I can't uphold it to the end!"
With a hoarse roar, Sabo raised his left hand skyward, crimson chains of crystalline fla swirling around him.
The gesture was like lifting a mountain.
Boundless flas erupted from his palm, condensing and compressing until—in the blink of an eye—a searing, miniature sun blazed in his grasp.
He held a star in his hand.
"Fla Emperor!!"
