Ian didn't speak, and Reiju also didn't speak, so Caesar wanted to speak but dared not speak.
The atmosphere in the carriage was very strange. Under such circumstances, Caesar was simply restless. The most important thing in his mind was whether Ian knew who he was.
Although he has never met Ian or had conflicts with Ian, he is Doflamingo's partner after all, and Ian and Doflamingo are enemies. If Ian knows There is no guarantee that the relationship between him and Doflamingo will not bring disaster to Chi Yu.
This is what it means to say that the friend of the enemy is also the enemy...
Although Caesar is a devil fruit capable person, and he is of the natural department, but he is more of a scientific researcher. He is not good at fighting, not domineering, and has advanced physical skills. Even if he occasionally fights, He also relied on his special ability of the gas fruit to fight. He thought to himself that he was no match for Ian. If Ian found out about his partnership with Doflamingo and attacked him, he would not even be able to run. Lose!
But now, what Caesar is most uncertain about is this point. You can say that Ian knows his identity, but from the beginning to the end, Ian never called him by name, which shows that at least Doflamingo Nothing was ever leaked about Caesar there.
But you have to say that Ian doesn't know his identity, but when Ian stopped him before, he directly grabbed his shoulder with armed color and domineering to prevent him from getting away. This shows that Ian may know that he is Natural devil fruit ability user...
So at this time, Caesar was sitting in the carriage in a regular manner, with a simple and honest smile on his face, but he was uneasy in his heart, and he was thinking about it. If he had a flower in his hand, he might be pulling it Petals, while counting: "I know! I don't know! I know! I don't know..."
As for Ian, he was also thinking about how to deal with Caesar at this time.
In fact, when Ian "invited" him into the car before, he didn't think much about it, because before that, Ian never expected to see Caesar here, he just met Caesar for the first time. I always told him that Caesar couldn't just slip away like this, that's why he was brought into the carriage.
It was impossible to let him go, but what about killing him? It doesn't seem to have much effect. Doflamingo doesn't have the Dressrosa base, and man-made devil fruits can't be produced. It's the same with or without Caesar. Killing Caesar can at most stop his vicious weapon research. Doesn't have much effect on Doflamingo.
After all, Caesar is only Doflamingo's partner, not Doflamingo's subordinate. Caesar must be valued by Doflamingo, provided that their artificial devil fruit plan can continue, otherwise, Caesar How important it is to Doflamingo is hard to say.
Since knowing that Fujitora has gone to Wano Country, Ian has been thinking about whether he can help Fujitora from the side. Doflamingo has already taken refuge in Kaido. If he can trick Doflamingo, in fact It also means that Kaido has been pitted, but now starting from Caesar, the pit cannot be dug too deep...
Ian rubbed his chin and thought about it like this, and looked up and down at Caesar. The scrutiny made Caesar's heart tremble, and he put his hands on his knees, becoming more and more obedient.
After a while, Ian suddenly asked, "Are you Caesar Courant? A former naval scientist?"
"Yes... yes!" Originally, Caesar had gradually gotten used to the silence in the carriage, but when he suddenly heard Ian's voice, he was so frightened that his whole body trembled, and he quickly answered.
At the same time, there was grief and indignation in my heart: He really knows who I am!
Ian continued with a curious expression, and asked, "300 million Bailey, your bounty is not low. The navy and the world government have been looking for you all the time. I didn't expect you to dare to show up?"
Although Ian called out Caesar's name, he didn't mention anything about Doflamingo. After hearing this, Caesar couldn't help being stunned for a moment, his thoughts changed sharply, and he replied with a flattering smile. Said: "It doesn't matter, the eyes of the navy and the world government are all on a big man like you, we small people, they won't pay too much attention..."
Now Ian's bounty has soared to 1.2 billion Baileys, one can equal 4 Caesars, so Caesar's flattery is a bit standard, and the starting point is right.
Now that the chat started, the atmosphere in the car was naturally better, and Ian didn't use the topic of Doflamingo to provoke Caesar, which made Caesar a lot bolder, gradually thinking that the reason why Ian knew who he was, I'm afraid it was caused by seeing the navy's arrest warrant, so I gradually began to feel relieved.
"Since you can come to Cake Island, it means that you have a good relationship with the IGMOM Pirates!" Ian asked him, "But why don't you have an invitation letter for the tea party?"
"No way!" Caesar sighed and said, "Although IGMOM is the sponsor of my research, the research she explained has not made much progress over the years..."
After finishing speaking, he began to complain to Ian: "You also know that my research can only be carried out by myself without the navy and the world government. Although I have a genius mind, I lack assistants and auxiliary researchers. Naturally, the progress is slow. Scientific research is not able to produce results in a short period of time. I am afraid it is because of this. Although the funds have not been cut off, IGMOM must have ideas for me... "
This guy, Caesar, has let go now, and while complaining, he also picked up the wine provided for VIPs in the carriage, poured himself a glass, and then downed it in one gulp.
Seeing him like this, Ian knew that the fire was almost ready, so he echoed, saying: "Indeed, scientific research is like this. My dragon hunter pirate team also has a scientist named Varudo. I don't know if you listen Ever had his name?"
"No!" Caesar shook his head, of course he couldn't know Varudo.
"Alas!" Yijian sighed pretentiously, and said, "That guy is an idiot, obviously I snatched three pacifists from the Naval Science Corps, but until now, he still hasn't fully grasped pacifism. The author’s production technology, for which I gave him 100 billion Baileys, and I don’t know how long it will take to produce results!”
Pooh! Caesar took a sip of the wine and coughed desperately. After he recovered, he screamed, "One... one hundred billion Baileys!?"
His voice was broken, one can imagine how surprised he was by this number.
"Yeah!" Ian said nonchalantly: "You know, I just robbed the Golden City not long ago and got a lot of money, 100 billion Baileys, what a joke!"
Ian acted like I was a local tyrant and I was not short of money, but he was extremely envious of Caesar.
IGMOM has been funding his research, but every time Caesar comes to the cake, the funds he can get will not exceed one billion Baileys. There are so many times before and after, and the sum has not exceeded 10 billion Baileys. , Caesar felt that his research funds were quite sufficient, but now that Ian had spent 100 billion Baileys in one breath to conduct research on a scientist whose name he had never heard of, Caesar suddenly felt that he had been hit hard!
Without comparison, there would be no harm. In Caesar's eyes, Ian suddenly became a golden thigh!
"Cough!" Caesar coughed a few times, his eyes rolled sharply, and then he said to Ian regretfully, "You didn't say it earlier, sir, don't you know that I used to be a colleague of Bergabank? The pacifist This kind of weapon is made by Vegabank, and this technology has been taught by me at the beginning. Although I don’t like this kind of rough technology later, but if you want to crack it, it is really easy for me! "
As he spoke, he peeked at Ian's face, and what he meant was to say: Please use 100 billion Bailey's funds to slap me in the face! i can stand it...
Caesar is already thinking about it, thinking that if he can get 100 billion research funds, where will he go to have fun
Unfortunately, Ian didn't answer his words at all, because Ian knew what kind of guy this guy was, so he just said noncommittally: "Actually, I think the most reliable thing is to make Bergabank this guy. Kidnap back, and save trouble, and save money!"
As soon as he heard what Ian said, Caesar immediately became anxious. If Vegabank was kidnapped by Ian, he would still play with a hammer!
Unwilling to let the high research funds of Ian, the big sponsor, fly away from him, Caesar was only thinking about how to persuade Ian at this time, so he said to Ian: "Don't! What's so good? Although the world says that he is the number one scientist in the world, he is actually touted by the world government. How can his knowledge compare to mine? If he hadn't used despicable means to frame me back then, he would have punk Hasa De's accident was blamed on me, how could I be wanted by the navy? This guy is just a despicable villain. Even if you kidnap him, what will he do when he takes your money and escapes? Besides, He is now in Malakaf's research institute, where security is heavily guarded, if you want to kidnap him, how easy is it?"
Malakoff! ? Ian's heart was shocked, sure enough! Caesar really knows the location of Vegabank! nt
