Chapter 505: Fury
The Five Elders' foreheads were already covered in cold sweat.
That woman Gion had actually gotten mixed up with that bastard Brett!
And that bastard Brett had actually found their new Navy Science Division base hidden underground in the wilderness outside Mariejois!
That idiot Caesar had been captured by Brett!
Because they'd entrusted this man with such important responsibilities, they knew his character all too well.
He absolutely wasn't someone with backbone who could remain unyielding in the face of life-threatening danger.
Rather, quite the opposite. The man named Caesar was extremely cowardly. From the unspeakable fear on this man's face right now, they knew what was about to happen.
"Kill them!!"
Saint Saturn had already begun screaming.
They absolutely couldn't let Caesar reveal everything.
However...
"This isn't your time to speak."
Brett's eyes widened. His violent aura instantly poured toward the Five Elders like a raging storm, centered on him.
"Damn it!"
The man blocking in front of the Five Elders roared. An equally powerful Conqueror's Haki burst from his body.
He was CP0's commander, the man called the Celestial Dragons' Strongest Shield, and naturally a Conqueror's Haki user.
But at this moment, his Conqueror's Haki, among the very best on the seas, seemed so fragile facing Brett's. After only a brief confrontation, it directly collapsed.
Brett's Conqueror's Haki completely enveloped the Five Elders.
Even though they were called the world's highest authority, even though they were the five who ruled the world, their status and power meant nothing before Brett's strength.
The five old men's eyes rolled back one by one, then they collapsed to the ground quite undignified, foaming at the mouth.
"Whoa, that level of Conqueror's Haki is absolutely terrifying."
Ryokugyu smacked his lips. "A monster like this simply isn't something humans can oppose anymore, is it?"
Hard to imagine there's actually such a powerful man in the world!
"Elders!!"
The Strongest Shield hurriedly called over some subordinates to wake the Five Elders. He himself blocked in front, vigilant of Brett's movements.
But Brett completely ignored him, only turning back to look at Dr. Caesar very kindly.
"Good, now the troublesome people can't speak. Dr. Caesar, next please explain in detail what kind of research you've been conducting recently."
Brett's smile was very gentle, just like a spring breeze brushing one's face.
But this oncoming spring breeze made Dr. Caesar shiver.
If he lied at this moment, he'd definitely be killed!
His entire body trembled continuously.
As for what punishment he'd receive from the Five Elders after telling the truth, he couldn't think about that now. Surviving came first.
"The Five Elders had me replicate the Fish-Man transformation experiments that Vegapunk completed!"
Under crisis, his life's potential was stimulated. Caesar explained the most critical points almost instantly.
"Fish-Man transformation experiments, weren't those reported in the newspapers before?"
The terrified kings immediately recalled events from not long ago.
"But didn't the Government deny those as lies?"
"Looking at it now, how could they be lies? See that woman! Momousagi Gion! Former Admiral candidate! Isn't she already a Fish-Man now!"
The kings had already begun discussing among themselves.
But simultaneously, they felt somewhat strange.
Honestly, what was the big deal about this?
It wasn't anything serious or something that absolutely couldn't be exposed!
Rather, to counter Fish-Man Island's threat, the Government taking such action actually made the kings feel reassured.
At least it showed the Government was making an effort!
"..."
While the kings were dismissive, the three Admirals gathered here had already pursed their lips.
"Miss Gion is Dr. Vegapunk's work, so then..."
Admiral Ryokugyu looked toward the monster bound and floating by clouds.
That was Dr. Caesar's creation?
It certainly seemed far inferior to Dr. Vegapunk's work.
However, if it were only ugly appearance, Brett wouldn't need to go to such lengths, would he?
Ryokugyu had a strong premonition that he was about to hear something very explosive.
"That's not the point. The point is what you did during your research."
Miss Gion's sword had already left its sheath at her waist, laying directly across Caesar's neck.
"Eek!!"
Caesar's hair practically stood on end. His body shook like a sieve. He hastily stammered, "To... to... precisely draw out the Fish-Man bloodline power hidden within transformed Fish-Men, so... I used Doberman and the others for experiments."
"Experiments?"
Admiral Fujitora's brow immediately furrowed tight.
"Hey hey hey, is this true?"
Ryokugyu directly asked aloud, "Weren't Doberman and the others killed in NEO Navy's attack?"
"Because, because the technology... wasn't mature."
Caesar stammered. His neck could truly feel the blade's coldness. "So in the end, only Doberman succeeded."
"But he also sacrificed himself covering my escape."
Gion sighed quietly.
"This really is a jaw-dropping truth."
Kizaru crossed his arms and stroked his chin, looking somewhat troubled. "Using our comrades for experiments, this kind of thing is unacceptable no matter how you think about it."
"But how do we know Caesar isn't making a false confession under duress, that he was just being forced?"
"On that point, I think I can testify!"
From above the large hole Brett had smashed, another shadow fell.
It was Chaton.
The man's expression was very grave. He raised his right hand, clutching a thick stack of documents.
"These are that scum Caesar's experiment logs! They record from beginning to end the entire process of this bastard using Navy soldiers transformed into Fish-Men for experiments!"
This was bad now.
The Strongest Shield had already secretly clenched his teeth.
If this matter was exposed before the Navy, at this critical moment, their position would be difficult to determine!
"Tokikake, could you let me see what you're holding!"
Another man walked in through the doors behind the three Admirals.
Wearing a white suit, tall in stature, his hair completely white.
"Of course, Mr. Garp!"
Gaji jumped over with a leap.
With Fleet Admiral Sengoku absent now, no one was more qualified than this man to represent the Navy's will.
"Don't move."
Brett glared at the Strongest Shield poised to strike.
At a time like this, did he still think he could get away with small tricks?
So the Strongest Shield could only remain motionless.
Hero Garp received the documents from Gaji's hands, then began reading silently.
He said nothing, but everyone could see his expression growing increasingly unpleasant.
"Are you kidding me?"
Finally, the Navy's hero roared out.
