In the new world, Punk Hazard, in a huge room, Rocks and Quinn were sitting on the sofa chatting.
"By the way, Quinn, didn't you stay in Kaido's pirate group for a while before joining my pirate group? How was it? What do you think?"
“… ... ... .”
After hearing what Rocks said, Quinn fell silent for a moment.
“Mhahahaha, Boss Rocks, what can I feel? Kaido is totally inferior to you in terms of strength and power. Besides, I am a person who really likes to do research, and Kaido is so poor.”
"Besides, I happened to meet you, Boss, so of course I followed the one with more promising future. Isn't that very reasonable? After all, I understand the principle that good birds choose good trees."
Quinn made funny gestures and explained quickly.
He thought that after so much time, Rocks had already forgotten this little thing.
"Don't be nervous, Quinn. I don't doubt you. I just suddenly remembered something. Okay, go and call that guy named Caesar Courant over. I also want to meet him."
Rocks interrupted Quinn's antics and ended the conversation.
Quinn quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then quickly went out to look for Caesar Courant.
"Phew, I was really scared. Why did Boss Rocks suddenly bring up the past?"
Quinn walked out of the room, leaned against the wall, and muttered to himself in fear.
His chest heaved violently due to nervousness.
"Forget it. Since Boss Rocks said it's nothing, let's not think too much about it. That guy Caesar Courant seems to have been staying in his laboratory recently."
After calming down, Quinn quickly walked towards the laboratory where Caesar Courant was.
In the room, Rocks sat on the sofa, crossed his legs and supported his chin with one hand.
"Kaido, it's time to send someone to Wano Country to contact him."
"Anyway, Wano Country is also a country with a very advantageous geographical location, and it happens to be close to the Etwal Sea."
"Especially the seastone ore on the island. It's a strategic item. It would be a shame to give it to Kaido. However, if we want to conquer Wano Country, we still have to wait a little longer."
Just as Rocks was thinking about how to gain the greatest benefit from Wano Country, Quinn had already arrived at Caesar Clown's office.
"Hey, Caesar, kid, get out here!"
Quinn had just entered the lab when he started roaring loudly.
His loud voice penetrated the laboratory and reached the ears of everyone in the laboratory.
For a moment, all the busy people in the laboratory stopped what they were doing and looked at Quinn curiously.
"What's wrong with Master Quinn? Why are you so angry?!"
"Quick, go find Dr. Caesar!"
"We can't let Quinn cause a scene here!"
"Hey, isn't this Quinn? What's wrong? What do you want from me?"
Just as the people in the laboratory were panicking, a unique laugh sounded in the laboratory.
One turned himself into gas. He had long black hair and goat horns on his head. He was over 1.5 meters tall and wore purple lipstick and eye makeup. He had a flat nose and long eyebrows. His limbs were also very slender. He wore a light blue coat with the word "GAS" printed on the sides, and a suit with orange and yellow diagonal stripes inside. He wore purple-black gloves with the word "CC" printed on them. Caesar Courant with a hedgehog hairstyle floated out of the air.
"Caesar! You bastard, Boss Rocks is here and he wants to see you. Come with me to see him!"
Quinn completely ignored Caesar Courant's nonsense and spoke directly.
“Boss Rocks?! Hehehe, didn’t I expect Boss Rocks to come over? And he wanted to see me right after he arrived. Sure enough, the name of this genius has already reached Boss Rocks’ ears!”
When Caesar Courant heard Quinn's words, he immediately danced and twisted his body excitedly.
"Stop being complacent, Caesar. Hurry up and don't keep Boss Rocks waiting for too long!"
Quinn didn't bother to care how proud Caesar Courant was. He just roared in dissatisfaction and turned away.
"Hehehe, come on Quinn, don't be so anxious, wait for me."
Caesar Courant quickly chased after Quinn with a strange smile, and kept dancing and saying something smugly beside Quinn.
After a while, Quinn brought Caesar Courant to the room where Rocks was.
"Buckle, buckle"
After knocking on the door gently a few times and receiving a response, Quinn opened the door and walked in with Caesar Courant.
"Boss Rocks, I have brought Caesar Kulang, mhahaha."
Rocks looked up at Caesar Courant who was beside Quinn.
How to put it, Rocks’ first impression of Caesar Courant was that he was a funny guy.
However, he who has read the original novel knows that although Caesar is a funny guy who is afraid of death and bullies the weak, he is also a ruthless genius who is a mad researcher.
"Are you Caesar Courant?"
"Hehehe, that's right, I am Caesar Courant. It's our first meeting. I hope you will take care of me in the future, Boss Rocks."
Caesar Courant clasped his hands in front of his chest and said to Rocks with a flattering look on his face.
"Heh, since you are already a member of our Rocks Pirates family, it is only natural that I take care of you."
"I heard you created an artificial animal-type devil fruit? How does it work?"
Rocks asked, chuckling as he sat on the couch.
"Hehehe, thank you for your care, Boss Rocks. As for the artificial animal-type devil fruit, although there are still many flaws, it can already reach a 50% success rate."
Hearing Rocks' words, Caesar Courant said with great pride.
Although he was able to create the artificial animal-type devil fruit with the help of Vegapunk's bloodline, it was ultimately created by him on his own.
"Fifty percent success rate? Not bad. Keep up the good work."
"Yes, thank you for the compliment, Boss Rocks. I will continue to work hard to improve the success rate of artificial devil fruits."
Caesar Courant became even more proud after receiving Rocks' affirmation and praise.
"So, Caesar, how many artificial animal-type devil fruits can you produce in a month now?"
"Ten! And only about half of these ten can give the person who eats the devil fruit the ability."
Hearing Rocks' question, Caesar Courant answered without hesitation.
"Really? But it doesn't matter. Quinn, I have a task for you."
Hearing what Rocks said, Quinn suddenly became serious.
"I need you to go to Wano Country and find Kaido. Isn't he currently forming a corps of animal-type devil fruit users? Try to sell our products to him."
"Mhahaha, no problem. However, our product still has some flaws after all. Will Kaido want it?"
Quinn asked, looking at Rocks curiously.
"Oh, I don't think he will refuse."
"Mhahaha, I understand. I'll leave now."
Quinn responded with a smile and left the meeting room.
"Caesar Courant, you go and do your thing. I need to take a break."
"Hehehe, I get it, Boss Rocks."
After Caesar Courant left, Rocks slowly stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the vast blue sea in the distance.
"The sea will probably be calm for a while." (To be continued)
