The next day, in the courtyard of the queen's palace, everyone was silently eating breakfast.
The atmosphere was sowhat strange.
Page One kept sneaking glances at his sister.
Ulti seed to be locked in a battle with the at buns before her.
She devoured the enormous plate piled high with dozens of large at buns—taller than a person—one after another, swallowing them whole like a starving ghost reincarnated.
She kept her head down, focused solely on gulping down the buns, showing none of her usual chatterbox nature.
After watching for a long ti, Page One finally mustered his courage and cautiously whispered.
"Sis, what did you do last night? You're so hungry—seems like you expended a lot of energy."
Thump!
Page One fell flat on his back, a snow-white bun hitting him square in the forehead, splattering the at filling inside.
At the table, Ulti's face was pitch black, still frozen in a waving gesture…
At the head of the table, Caesar remained expressionless, dumping an entire plate of at buns into his mouth with a clatter.
Beside him on the floor, a stack of large plates had already piled up over two ters high.
Hiyori sat beside him, nibbling on her bun like a kitten.
However, her shoulders trembled slightly…
Kiku glanced at Hiyori with concern and asked softly.
"Your Majesty, is sothing troubling you?"
Pfft!
The next mont, Hiyori could no longer hold back, spitting the at filling in her mouth all over Kiku's face.
Kiku blinked, her face covered in at filling, looking utterly bewildered.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't an to. Let help you wipe it off."
Hiyori quickly stood up, grabbed a tissue from the table, and reached toward Kiku.
"It's alright, it's alright, Your Majesty. Please sit. I can manage on my own."
Kiku dodged Hiyori's gesture and picked up a tissue to wipe her face herself.
As she cleaned the ss off her face, Kiku glanced at Caesar, who was devouring food ravenously.
Her eyes flickered, and her expression seed hesitant, as if she wanted to say sothing but held back.
After a while, Kiku couldn't resist and spoke to Caesar, "Caesar-sama, if I may be so bold…"
"Hmm? What is it?"
Caesar poured another plateful—dozens of at buns—into his mouth, stuffing his cheeks until they bulged.
His temples throbbed as he chewed incessantly.
Kiku sat up straight and said solemnly, "Though I may be overstepping, I must say this: Her Majesty the Queen is delicate and not a warrior. She cannot endure rough treatnt. If possible, I would like to request that you refrain from using violence against Her Majesty in the future."
Caesar stopped chewing, looking baffled. "What?"
Seeing that Caesar seed unwilling to admit it, Kiku gritted her teeth and continued.
"I was on night watch outside the palace last night, and I heard everything clearly. It seed as though you spent the entire night whipping Her Majesty, as well as Black Maria and Ulti. Striking won does not demonstrate a man's valor! Your strength is already widely recognized, so…"
Pfft—!
Caesar spat out all the dozens of buns he had been chewing in an instant.
Kiku was completely dumbfounded, her entire body covered in the chewed-up at buns.
Only her two bewildered eyes were visible.
...
After breakfast, Caesar finally rembered that back at Udon, he had thrown the mory-wiped Kuma from mid-air.
The area had been turned into a crater, and he had no idea whether Kuma had been killed or not.
Even if he survived, he might have fallen into a bottomless fissure.
Although Caesar didn't particularly care about Kuma's combat prowess, Kuma's mind still contained the compressed mory fragnts he had stored.
These were related to Vegapunk's scientific modification experints.
Even though the World Governnt had already relegated the Pacifistas to a secondary role and developed the SSG unit, said to rival the Seven Warlords in combat power, these mories still held significant reference value for unconventional researchers like Judge and others.
Thus, Caesar ordered Page One, Black Maria, Ulti, and Kiku to search for Kuma's whereabouts in the ruins of Udon.
As for himself, he took Hiyori and headed to the Flower Capital.
As for Law, he was ordered by Caesar to garrison Boro Town.
If any unexpected situations arose, he was to desperately hold back the enemy at all costs.
With Law's current bizarre Ope Ope Fruit abilities, any fighters below the top-tier level would find no advantage against him.
...
Tens of kiloters away from the offshore waters of Wano Country, ten thousand ters high in the sky.
The floating giant sky island.
"Roar! Roar!"
Shiki and Indigo watched with gleaming eyes as the giant gorilla, Scarerdo, roared repeatedly toward the sky on the vast open ground before them.
This gorilla had followed Shiki for many years.
Although it couldn't speak human language, it was extrely intelligent, possessing wisdom no less than that of humans.
Its strength was also quite impressive.
It was the only animal with a brain created by Indigo on Veruo Island through IQ experints.
But now, the gorilla on the open ground looked completely different from its previous three-ter-tall form.
This was a twenty-ter-tall gorilla, exuding a violent aura, with massive muscle bulges covering its body and limbs as thick as giant stone pillars.
Its crimson fur carried an ominous aura.
"Jeehahaha! Scarerdo, how do you feel? Your aura has grown by more than tenfold! This is truly incredible, Indigo! We've succeeded! Jeehahaha, we've finally succeeded!"
Shiki, with half a ship's helm stuck in his head like a rooster's comb, laughed maniacally.
"It truly is unbelievable!"
Indigo was also brimming with excitent, feeling imnsely thrilled as he gazed at the ferocious and imnsely powerful crimson-haired giant ape before him.
This was the result of his sleepless night of hard work.
His interest had been piqued by the strange fish brought back by Kittakimo yesterday.
So, throughout the night, Indigo had been studying the blood of those strange fish.
He conducted experint after experint, each ti arriving at the sa conclusion.
The blood inside these strange fish was not compatible with their own bodies.
In other words, the blood was foreign.
Although it had mixed into the fish's bodies and caused mutations, it still remained incompatible with the fish's own blood.
Perhaps this blood ca from so special creature or a deceased super beast.
When Indigo accidentally fused this bizarre blood, extracted from the strange fish, with the IQ serum he had been developing for over a decade—
A shocking result erged!
The blood and the IQ serum rged almost perfectly.
The violent energy contained in the blood collided with the similar violent energy in the IQ serum, resulting in a strange neutralization!
The reason it was "almost" perfect was that the combined forces still caused the test subjects to beco agitated, hyperactive, and bloodthirsty.
However, the increase in strength was dozens of tis greater than the effect of the pure IQ serum!
"If I can get more of this blood and continue researching for a while, I can create a fully upgraded version of the IQ serum. It would be a powerful formula with no side effects, and it could even be used to enhance the human body!"
Indigo's eyes shone with extre excitent!
