Thanks to Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability, Queen mama charter returned to Whole Cake Island first.
The subordinate pirates of the Beast God Pirates followed behind, incidentally helping to transport the Giant tribe.
In the plaza of Whole Cake Island, the pirate ship descended from the sky, landing directly in the center of the square.
Caesar and others disembarked and, led by King, entered a building.
Upon entering, Caesar, Linlin, and the others saw Smoothie and Queen waiting in the room, along with Katakuri and Yamato lying unconscious on a large bed.
Seeing Caesar and the others enter, Smoothie and Queen quickly stood up.
"Is Katakuri still alive?" Caesar glanced at Smoothie.
Smoothie hurriedly replied respectfully: "Y-yes, I used my ability to create so life-force juice to sustain his life."
"Well done."
Caesar nodded, stepped forward without another word, pried open Katakuri's mouth, and split open his own palm.
Crimson blood imdiately gushed out, pouring into Katakuri's mouth.
Then, Caesar walked over to Yamato, similarly prying open her mouth and pouring in a substantial amount of his essence blood.
How incredibly potent was the life force contained within Caesar's blood?
Even though Smoothie had drained life force from Gin, Moria, and others, she hadn't been able to revive Katakuri and Yamato.
But the mont Caesar's essence blood entered their bodies, it rapidly began healing their injuries.
On Yamato's body, damaged skin regenerated, old skin shed, and new skin grew as smooth and tender as a baby's.
The severed arm on Katakuri continuously extended bones, muscles, and blood vessels, regenerating an entirely new arm.
The massive wound on his chest, inflicted by the golden axe, also sprouted new flesh, continuously connecting and healing.
"Wake up now!"
Caesar narrowed his eyes, releasing a precisely asured burst of Conqueror's Haki that struck Katakuri and Yamato's minds.
Bam! Bam!
In the next mont, both Katakuri and Yamato reflexively opened their eyes and launched an attack at Caesar.
Caesar stood firm, unmoving, enduring their strikes head-on.
Only when they clearly saw their surroundings did Katakuri and Yamato fully regain consciousness.
Katakuri hurried forward, respectfully calling out.
"Father, Mother."
Caesar's expression remained cold as he stared at Katakuri for a long mont before speaking in a deep voice.
"Katakuri, you've disappointed greatly."
A flush of sha appeared on Katakuri's face as he lowered his head.
Yamato couldn't stand watching this and stepped forward, looking up at Caesar as she said.
"Uncle! Please don't bla Katakuri, he's already fought desperately. It's just that the enemy was too strong..."
"Hmph!" Caesar snorted heavily, making Yamato shrink back in fear, not daring to continue defending Katakuri.
"The enemy won't accept your excuses! If they hadn't wanted to capture you alive to use as leverage against , you'd already be corpses! If I hadn't left Blood Demon and Ice Demon on Donut Island, we'd now be negotiating terms with the World Governnt, or pulling off so prison break like the Whitebeard Pirates did."
Caesar's cold gaze made Katakuri and Yamato, even Smoothie and Queen, lower their heads, unable to et his eyes.
"Rember this: only when you're strong enough can you face any dire situation. Never let your guard down at any ti. Katakuri, you still have much room for growth. Don't waste energy on trivial matters - delegate those tasks to others as much as possible! Yamato, sa goes for you!"
"Yes! Father! I'll rember!" Katakuri nodded heavily.
Seeing Caesar look over, Yamato hurriedly nodded like a chick pecking rice.
"I... I'll rember too."
Caesar turned to Smoothie and asked, "By the way, is Judge alright?"
Smoothie quickly replied, "Dad, he's fine, just so minor injuries. He's already started working on research matters."
Caesar nodded, then glanced at Queen, narrowing his eyes.
Queen shrank his neck and smiled awkwardly.
"Caesar-sama..."
"Queen, I've found so of your forr colleagues for you - Caesar Clown, Indigo, and Judge. From now on, you'll stay on Candy Island and focus on research for , understand?"
"Ah?" Queen's mouth fell open, his chubby face full of reluctance.
He stamred, "B-but... my lord, I'm a combatant! I... I think I'm more suited for fighting! I'll stay here and protect Whole Cake Island for you! With Queen here, I guarantee no one would dare cause trouble!"
"Is that so? Well, that works too." Caesar nodded.
Queen imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, his fat face breaking into a lecherous grin.
"In a few days, we'll be going to war with Marine Headquarters. Since you're a combatant, you can lead a suicide squad charging at the front, helping us break through Marine Headquarters' gates. How does that sound?" Caesar said playfully.
The smile instantly froze on Queen's face.
Seeing Caesar's expression that didn't seem like a joke, Queen shuddered and quickly said:
"Ah, you see, my mind is full of research knowledge. This fighting and killing business isn't really suitable for soone as intelligent as anymore. Caesar-sama! Don't worry, leave Candy Island's research base to - I'll handle those research projects for you! When it cos to research, Judge and the others still can't compare. I must go supervise them!"
Caesar looked at him with an amused expression, watching until Queen felt his scalp tingle and his legs begin to tremble, before lightly chuckling.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Queen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly bowed and agreed.
Caesar turned and walked out the door, seeing everyone gathered in the square, watching the unbound Giant King Loki.
"What's going on?" Caesar approached, looking down at the six-ter-tall Giant King.
"This kid wants to see you," Kaido said with a laugh.
"Oh? Speak, what is it?"
Caesar's tone was quite impatient.
Ganzui's inexplicable disappearance, coupled with the Donut Island incident, had left him in a foul mood.
"Are you the king of all of them?" Loki hesitated for a mont before gritting his teeth and speaking.
"King? You could say that." Caesar neither confird nor denied it.
"In that case, as the king of the Giant tribe, I am willing to form an alliance with you. Let our two sides establish a treaty of alliance and beco equal, mutually supportive allies. What do you think?"
Loki's words stunned everyone present, including Caesar himself.
Caesar remained silent for a mont before shaking his head.
"You're too weak. You're not qualified to negotiate with . At best, you can only beco a senior officer under my command."
Loki gritted his teeth, unwilling to accept this. "But I am the king of the Giant tribe! Any one of my subjects could hold the position of Vice Admiral in the Marine headquarters! I—"
"Silence!" Caesar's voice suddenly turned cold as he stared at Loki. "You have no subjects. Those giants are already my giant warriors. Loki, was it? I've run out of patience. Either submit or die. Choose one! Hurry up, don't waste my ti!"
"I... I..."
Struggle showed on Loki's face—a mix of humiliation, resentnt, and fear.
After a long internal conflict, Loki finally accepted his fate.
He sighed and knelt on one knee. "I choose to submit!"
"You'd better an it, or there's only one outco."
Caesar gave him a cold glance, considering whether to turn this giant king into a moryless killing machine as well.
But after a mont's thought, Caesar gave up on the idea.
As Caesar grew stronger, he gradually realized that the mory Fruit's mory alteration had its limits.
The stronger the target, the fewer mories could be altered.
Loki's strength and status weren't significant enough to tempt Caesar.
