"SKY SOVEREIGN-SAMA! PLEASE, HAVE MERCY! I WAS ONLY ACTING UNDER DOFLAMINGO’S ORDERS!" Caesar wailed, a mess of snot and tears as he begged for his life.

"Tch. Caesar, you haven’t changed a bit," Queen sneered with contempt.

Back at Vegapunk’s MADS research institute, while Vegapunk focused on research that could bring peace to the world... he, Queen, Vinsmoke Judge, and Caesar were all dedicated to the mass production of weapons of slaughter.

And among them, Caesar was the most insane.

As the user of the Gas-Gas Fruit, Caesar’s research focus, besides the artificial SMILE Devil Fruits, had been on the development of notoriously horrific poison gas weapons.

For a guy like him to claim he was forced by Doflamingo to conduct these experiments—he was lying through his teeth.

Suddenly—

"YOU LITTLE PUNK! SKY SOVEREIGN IS THE MAN WHO KILLED ME, AND YOU DARE TO SPEW LIES IN HIS PRESENCE?"

Kaido’s voice thundered, making Caesar tremble with terror.

Kaido... The man even Doflamingo feared to his very core.

Just hearing his name made both him and Doflamingo tremble from their souls!

And now, listen to what Kaido was saying!

Sky Sovereign killed Kaido, and then brought him back to life.

WAS THIS MAN EVEN HUMAN??

Resurrection was a feat that no science, no technology, could ever achieve—yet this man had done it.

In the world of science, anything could be researched, anything could be realized—except for bringing the dead back to life; that was an impossible task.

What was a miracle? Resurrection was a miracle!

Sky Sovereign Rowen was the man who created miracles.

"Caesar, you better start talking straight. Otherwise, I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish,"

Jack glared, his eyes wide, looking at Caesar with undisguised threat.

Rowen hadn’t killed Jack, nor had he taken his physical energy.

Only for the sake of his video deception, he had separated his Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Model: Mammoth fruit, taking the ability.

After the war, when Jack saw Kaido’s soul and learned that King and Queen had pledged their allegiance to Rowen, his own loyalty to Kaido, which was no less than King’s, led him to immediately join as well.

Rowen had also returned the Mammoth fruit to Jack, restoring him to his peak combat strength.

This Devil Fruit was useless to Rowen, better to let Jack regain his strength.

Though Jack’s combat strength was at the bottom among Yonko Commanders, he was at least stronger than Marine HQ Vice Admirals and most Emperor crew commanders.

And though Jack’s brain wasn’t the sharpest, to the point of saying "Bring the ship alongside" even against an impossible opponent, his loyalty was impeccable, and he was extremely honorable—with a very good reputation within the Beasts Pirates.

With Jack’s joining, the process of absorbing the remnants of the Beasts Pirates had been much smoother.

"I-I’LL TALK, I’LL TELL YOU EVERYTHING!" Caesar stammered, his resolve completely broken.

"Atone for your sins here. If your research produces results that help Rowen win the final war—your crimes might be lessened. According to your crimes, even if you’re not killed, you should spend a lifetime in prison. How much your sentence is reduced depends on your future performance,"

Franky stated, looking at Caesar with a villainous expression.

"I-I understand," Caesar sighed in relief. Though he still had to earn his reduced sentence, at least his life was spared.

"Momonosuke, is it?"

Rowen turned his attention to the final figure Jack had brought.

At this moment, Momonosuke no longer had a human form, being placed in a container.

"Th-The experiment had a slight accident," Caesar’s forehead was beaded with cold sweat.

After Sky Sovereign Rowen’s meteoric rise, Doflamingo had completely panicked, forcing him to conduct more efficient, insane research.

This boy, who had just happened to eat a SMILE fruit—an artificial fruit based on Kaido’s own Azure Dragon form, which granted the power to become a dragon—had become a key research subject.

Though not as powerful as the real Azure Dragon Fruit, it could at least control Flame Clouds.

This discovery, different from the original story’s timeline, was the result of Caesar’s frantic research after being pushed by Doflamingo.

This was, of course, a very valuable research result, and Caesar had focused his research on Momonosuke. And then... he had become this.

"The bloodline of Kozuki Oden, Kozuki Momonosuke."

Rowen hadn’t expected Momonosuke to end up in such a pathetic state.

Compared to the ’Momonosuke must die’ sentiment among fans on Earth, this was far more miserable. But at least he was still alive.

Rowen held no goodwill for the Kozuki Family.

Whether it was this Momonosuke, or that self-indulgent, naked-dancing idiot Kozuki Oden, in Rowen’s view, their suffering was purely self-inflicted.

<><><><><><><><>

"Kozuki Oden’s son? Was he sent to the future by the Time-Time Fruit?" Kaido, on the other hand, had a high opinion of Kozuki Oden.

After all, this world had its own values, and Kaido was a man who valued strength above all else.

More importantly, Yamato had already preliminarily mastered Haōshoku Coating! This was after being locked up by Kaido for so many years—her talent was unimaginable.
