Crack—
The crystal ball shattered. Shyarly frowned. This was the first time something like this had ever happened.
"I couldn't divine anything."
Koji was not surprised at all. He had a pile of blessings on him. A mere divination had no way of seeing through him.
"Yes. I didn't see anything."
Shyarly nodded. On top of that, the crystal ball had been shattered too. What a loss, especially after such a huge fee had been paid.
"For the crystal ball, you can go straight to King Neptune," Koji said.
"Forget it. I can consider not divining again in the future. Although I didn't see anything, I can still feel that Fish-Man Island's future won't be too bad." Shyarly shook her head.
Koji fell into thought. Shirahoshi had left the tower ahead of schedule now. If she could master the power of the Sea King, then anyone who wanted to make a move against Fish-Man Island would have to think twice.
As for things like divination, knowing too much did not bring any benefit.
...
Punk Hazard.
"Hurry up and let me go! What exactly are you trying to do?!"
"Momonosuke, of course I'm sending you to see your father."
Koji dragged the tied-up brat toward a volcanic crater. Momonosuke really deserved to die. He had actually tried to take advantage of Ningguang and the others. As a certain God King would put it, he had already chosen the path to his own death.
"No! I was wrong! Please spare me..."
Of course Momonosuke understood what Koji meant. His father was already dead. Sending him to see his father meant sending him to die.
He still did not want to die. He was afraid of death.
"Although Kozuki Oden was no saint, even he wasn't as terrified of death as you are."
Koji looked at him with contempt. As the son of a shogun, Kozuki Oden had spent his youth indulging in pleasure, chasing women, and probably knew exactly which brothel in the country was best. But even he had never begged for his life like Momonosuke.
"You know my father, so you must know my sister too. I'll give you my sister Hiyori. Just don't kill me."
Momonosuke was sobbing with snot and tears all over his small face.
"If I kill you, I can still get your sister," Koji said, speechless.
Did this guy really have no backbone at all? He had actually sold out his own little sister just like that.
Koji had seen so many siscon types before. Sunday, Kamisato Ayato—if anything happened to their sisters, they would probably consider destroying heaven and earth.
This was mud that could not be plastered onto a wall. If Wano were led by someone like this in the future, it would have absolutely no future.
If it were not so disgusting, Koji would actually have wanted to see how badly this useless trash would ruin Wano.
"Do you like this place?"
Koji looked at the volcanic crater, where magma bubbles were still rising. This was an extremely active volcano.
"I don't want to die!"
Because Momonosuke was tied up and unable to move properly, he wriggled like a maggot, trying to get away from the crater.
The scorching heat in the air and the pungent smell of sulfur made Momonosuke understand that he absolutely could not die like this. He was afraid.
Once he was thrown in, not even ashes would be left. The magma would devour him completely.
"Your father was boiled in a pot. You'll be boiled in magma. Are you satisfied with this way of dying?" Koji asked.
What had ended Kozuki Oden early was that bullet. As for Momonosuke, after struggling for a few seconds, he would probably turn straight to ash. He had nothing worth showing off and lacked even the most basic strength.
"Go down."
Koji watched Momonosuke wriggle a short distance away, then directly flung him into the magma.
"Ah—!"
A heart-rending scream rang out, deafeningly loud. Momonosuke's body was burned by the extreme heat, and the flowing magma gradually devoured him.
At first, he could still scream. Now, he was already dead. If his Haki had been strong enough, he might have lasted a little longer. Besides, he was still wearing Sea-Prism Stone handcuffs, so his Devil Fruit power could not be used either.
"He actually drank magma. What a huge idiot," Koji said, shaking his head.
Momonosuke, deceased.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"
Alice's specially made bottle contained Anemo power. Caesar, a Logia Gas-Gas Fruit user, was completely unable to reform his body. Sharp wind blades kept slicing and stirring him apart.
"This Gas-Gas Fruit user could be used to make bombs," Alice said as countless ideas surfaced in her mind.
Her previous bombs had all been solid. This time, she could make a gas-based one instead. In any case, Caesar was not a good person, so using him would not weigh on her conscience.
Caesar roared. His business partner was Doflamingo, and the artificial Devil Fruits, Smiles, were needed by Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.
If they touched him, they would be making enemies of Doflamingo, one of the Seven Warlords, and Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. In this world, who would dare provoke them?
"Is who you are very important?" Koji asked with a smile.
As a Logia-type ability user, Caesar had wasted his power. After all, he was a scientist. Improving his combat strength was not his main pursuit.
"Alice, do you want to use the tool I gave you to grant him a blessing?" Koji asked.
"Haha, no need. I can handle it myself."
Alice did not think Caesar posed any threat. She was a member of the Hexenzirkel, so she had plenty of ways to deal with him.
"You'll regret this!" Caesar roared, outwardly fierce but inwardly weak.
"You're already a prisoner. If you insist on showing no remorse, then so be it." Alice injected even more Anemo power into the container.
...
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—
The violent wind howled. This time, Caesar could not even make a sound.
"Aokiji, come to Punk Hazard now."
Koji called Aokiji. There were still some experimental subjects here who needed to be dealt with.
"Hey, hey, hey, kid. I'm a Marine admiral, not some foot soldier."
Aokiji was speechless. Was Koji treating him like the Fleet Admiral? The way he spoke was far too matter-of-fact.
"There are Caesar's experimental subjects here. Quite a few of them are still alive. Isn't it normal for the Marines to handle this sort of thing?"
"Caesar? Human experimentation?"
Aokiji was slightly stunned. Caesar seemed to be that scientist with a bounty of three hundred million. He was said to be a Logia Gas-Gas Fruit user.
"Where's Caesar?"
"Dead."
Koji glanced at Caesar, who was imprisoned by Alice. Now that Caesar had fallen into the hands of a witch like Alice, there was basically no difference between that and being dead.
"By the way, there's a record here about how Corazon, Fleet Admiral Sengoku's son, died. There's a vice admiral in the Marines who's an undercover agent."
"All right. I understand. I'll report this to Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
Aokiji's expression turned serious. This matter was not only related to human experimentation, but also to Sengoku, the current Fleet Admiral.
An undercover agent in the Marines. Heh. How ridiculous.
There were definitely spies in the Marines, but to climb all the way to the rank of vice admiral—that really did take ability.
Aokiji hung up the Den Den Mushi and walked toward Sengoku's office. He hoped that after hearing this, the Fleet Admiral would still be able to stay calm and not completely lose control.
