It was currently morning.
Under normal circumstances, even at depths of several thousand ters, there should be so light if sunlight were abundant.
But when Caesar erged from the tunnel connecting to the cavern hall and entered the seabed several thousand ters deep, he found it still pitch black.
It was as if night had already fallen over the waters outside Wano Country.
Hiyori widened her eyes and pressed close to the ice wall, trying to see clearly through the water.
But the water was too dark; how could she possibly see?
Fortunately, Caesar's familiar figure was right beside the large ice sphere.
Otherwise, Hiyori might have burst into tears on the spot.
Though Hiyori couldn't see, Caesar could see everything clearly.
He was astonished because he saw the Flower Capital from a month ago!
Here, at the bottom of the sea several thousand ters deep, lay an expanse of ancient houses.
The architectural style looked exactly like that of the Flower Capital from before.
No, it would be more accurate to say that the previous Flower Capital had been modeled after this place—even the house designs were replicated.
Of course, it was now in ruins.
Caesar held an ice rod, one end connected to the large ice sphere, making it look like a giant lollipop.
As he entered this underwater ancient Flower Capital and walked along its eight-hundred-year-old streets, he felt a strange sense of disconnection.
It was as if, in that mont, he had traveled eight hundred years back in ti, witnessing history.
"This water… It doesn't seem like seawater. Is it… rainwater?"
Only then did Caesar realize that the water pressing against his body wasn't salty seawater but ordinary fresh water.
No wonder this ancient Wano Country at the bottom of the sea had been preserved so intact.
If it were seawater, it would have long been corroded away.
Caesar's massive fra made him seem like a normal person walking through a miniature model as he strode through the streets of the ancient Flower Capital.
The pavilions and towers had beco tiny, dollhouse-like structures.
Caesar looked up and saw many enormous carp swimming swiftly through the water above.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Caesar noticed a red carp over a hundred ters long, its pale eyes fixed on him.
Then, the huge fish charged straight toward Caesar.
As if it had mistaken him for food.
"The big fish eat the small fish, the small fish eat the shrimp—don't you even understand this principle? You, a re carp, still dream of leaping over the dragon gate? I am certainly not your prey!"
Caesar remained completely unruffled, even feeling a slight urge to laugh.
What a joke—he was the ancestor of all fish!
Caesar's head suddenly swelled rapidly, inflating like a balloon, growing larger and larger until it transford into a black fish head the size of a small mountain hundreds of ters tall, effortlessly crushing the underwater structures of the ancient Flower Capital...
If any historian were present, Caesar would likely be criticized to the point of being unable to function independently.
These ancient structures, preserved in impeccable condition, were practically the best evidence for studying eight hundred years of history!
Caesar's sudden head enlargent not only startled Hiyori inside the giant ice ball but also frightened the slowly gathering carps, causing them to turn and flee.
In an instant, apart from the red carp charging straight toward Caesar, all the other carps had scattered in panic!
Even this red carp was now terrified out of its wits.
Its clear eyes displayed a remarkably human-like fear.
However, it had built up too much montum during its initial charge and now couldn't brake in ti.
The hundred-ter-long red carp, in its panic, plunged directly into Caesar's gaping mouth, leaving only its tail wagging at the edge of his lips.
Caesar tilted his head back and swallowed the giant carp whole.
After devouring the large carp, Caesar returned to his human form, let out a comfortable burp, and glared fiercely in the direction where the carps had fled.
"The taste of this fish isn't bad! Sweet, tender, and lts in your mouth—quite satisfying. Next ti I have a mont, I'll send a few anglers to hook all these carps up."
Caesar mused silently.
He continued straight through the ancient Flower Capital, unknowingly destroying countless well-preserved underwater structures along the way.
He was practically the sworn enemy of both archaeologists and tomb raiders.
Caesar didn't believe that rely wandering around would lead him to Pluton.
He headed directly to the center of ancient Wano Country.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
Powerful Observation Haki radiated from him, creating tangible pressure that stirred the surrounding seawater into continuous waves.
Caesar focused intently, channeling his Observation Haki to perceive everything in the underwater world.
His first target was to locate massive objects, then verify if they were ships.
After a brief period of searching and sensing, Caesar finally detected a steel warship.
"No mistake about it, that must be Pluton. Its location is... the northern cetery of ancient Wano Country."
Caesar's spirits lifted, and his body transford into his Fish-Man form, moving through the water with lightning speed!
...
Monts later.
"This thing is an Ancient Weapon? It doesn't seem particularly special. Isn't it just an iron-hulled ship? Can this thing really destroy an island with a single shot?"
Caesar gazed at the massive silver-gray warship before him; standing beside it felt like looking up at a mountain.
But Caesar had no fear of gigantic objects.
Because he himself was enormous.
So, what Dragon considered an imnse ship appeared rely average to Caesar.
"Whatever, let's haul it up first and see. If it's too useless, I'll just trade it to the Revolutionary Army for a few countries."
The steel warship, five hundred ters in length, weighed approximately two to three hundred thousand tons in total.
He casually stuck the lollipop in his hand onto the ship's hull and slowly pressed both his large hands against the vessel.
"Lift!"
With Caesar exerting his strength, the mountain-like warship before him rumbled as it lifted from the seabed, pushed upward by Caesar for dozens of ters.
The seabed's silt churned, instantly turning the underwater world into a murky chaos.
The warship was imnsely heavy, and after drifting upward for a short distance, it began to sink back down.
Caesar imdiately shifted his body and dove beneath the ship.
"Kunpeng True Form!!"
In the next mont, his body transford into a colossal black fish that expanded upon contact with the water.
One hundred ters.
One thousand ters.
Ten thousand ters.
The terrifying black Kunpeng stirred the ocean, carrying a five-hundred-ter-long ship on its back—a re toy in comparison to its size.
The Kunpeng True Form was so enormous that Caesar barely needed to swim; he simply rose a few body lengths and broke the surface.
....
In Wano Country's Habu Port, a spray of water exploded into the sky as a fish of boundless size erged.
As the great fish surfaced, thousands of tons of rainwater accumulated over millennia within Wano's enclosing walls were instantly displaced, cascading down the kiloters-high barriers and pouring outward.
A sleek, silver, streamlined steel warship abruptly appeared at Habu Port!
