Caesar didn't take Yamato's threat seriously.
Although he appeared to be discussing things with Jin An, he was secretly overjoyed.
He had never had such a direct opportunity to attack the Navy before. Now, with Kaido's backing, everything seemed much easier.
This not only allowed him to indulge himself but also filled him with unprecedented excitement.
With Kaido's protection, he could do whatever he wanted without worrying about the consequences.
Before long, Queen led a group of people back into the cave.
Besides Queen, everyone was carrying various instruments. The heavy equipment gleamed coldly in the dim cave.
"From now on, treat this place as your home. If you need anything, just tell them."
Queen pointed to the pirates guarding the cave and said to Caesar.
Caesar glanced at them and understood that these people were sent to monitor him.
But he could only smile and agree, appearing very respectful on the surface.
"Understood, thank you, Queen."
Yamato looked at Queen and his men with a displeased expression, angrily saying:
"Didn't you hear what I said? Jin An is under my protection. Dare to touch him and see what happens!"
She pulled out a spiked club from nowhere, waving it threateningly at Queen and his men.
Queen, unfazed by Yamato's anger, instead said with a smile:
"Young Master Yamato, just watch quietly from the side. It will be good for your future battles for Lord Kaido."
After saying that, Queen seized the opportunity when Yamato relaxed and quickly bound her wrists with seastone chains.
Yamato felt a wave of weakness wash over her, and her body slumped. Her face instantly turned pale, and she glared at Queen angrily.
"You!!"
Queen continued to smile, his eyes filled with triumph.
"Young Master Yamato, you should understand that this is for your own good. Lord Kaido wants you to grow, but you must first learn to obey."
Yamato struggled, but the power of the seastone made her unable to move.
She glared at Queen angrily, her eyes burning with flames of rage. "You guys, I will definitely hang you from the trees and beat you!"
Jin An watched all of this from the side, his heart filled with complex emotions.
Yamato was indeed too young and simply couldn't outsmart Queen.
He turned to Caesar and said:
"You better think carefully about the price you'll pay for laying a hand on me."
Caesar nodded, although he was excited inside, he still maintained a calm expression on his face.
"I know very well, but I'm more interested in your body..."
He walked towards the instruments, starting to prepare the materials and equipment needed for the research.
Queen watched all of this with satisfaction. He wasn't in a hurry to leave, staying in the cave to watch Caesar's operation.
Finally, Caesar adjusted the equipment, a sinister smile appearing on his face as he slowly approached Jin An.
In his hand was a huge syringe, the cold, gleaming needle appearing especially sharp in the dim light.
"Next, I just need to draw some blood."
Caesar said sinisterly, his voice tinged with excitement.
Jin An calmly looked at Caesar, already prepared to have his blood drawn, after all, he was not in control of his situation.
Caesar slowly raised the syringe, the needle pointing high, and then, under the gaze of the pirates, directly stabbed it towards Jin An's arm.
"Snap!"
A crisp sound broke the silence in the cave.
The needle broke.
Jin An was stunned for a moment, looking down at his intact arm, a look of confusion in his eyes, wondering if the syringe was of such poor quality.
Yamato was also stunned, staring wide-eyed at this unexpected scene.
The pirates were all dumbfounded, their eyes wide, unable to understand what had happened.
Caesar's face instantly turned pale. He looked at the broken syringe in his hand, completely stunned.
"This... how is this possible?"
He muttered to himself, completely unprepared for such an outcome.
Jin An calmly retracted his gaze, looking at Caesar indifferently.
"It seems your equipment isn't sturdy enough."
Yamato suddenly laughed, although still weak, her laughter was full of ridicule and relief.
"Hahaha, looks like you guys mess up sometimes too."
Queen frowned, unable to believe his eyes.
He had just seen Caesar stab Jin An with all his might.
These instruments and equipment were all brought from his own laboratory, and he could guarantee their quality.
Even because of his own experimental needs, these things were made of the most durable metal, capable of piercing even the most solid armor, but they were broken by Jin An.
What exactly is going on with this guy's body?
Queen's heart was filled with doubt and surprise, and he couldn't help but step forward, reaching out to touch Jin An's body.
Jin An felt Queen's cold fingers moving on his skin, a sense of unease rising in his heart.
"Hahahaha!"
Queen suddenly laughed loudly, tapping Jin An's body, seemingly confirming something.
His small eyes narrowed with excitement, and even his body began to tremble.
"I know why Lord Kaido insisted on keeping you for experimentation!"
Queen's voice was full of frenzy and excitement. His hand slid over Jin An's muscles, feeling that extraordinary hardness and toughness.
"This body of yours is truly the perfect experimental material!"
Queen looked up, his eyes burning as he stared at Jin An, as if he had seen some priceless treasure.
His excitement and agitation were overflowing, and he seemed to be immersed in endless ecstasy.
Jin An felt uncomfortable under Queen's burning gaze, but he remained calm, secretly pondering.
The other party couldn't pose a substantial threat to him for the time being, but this couldn't continue. Sooner or later, the other party would use other methods to deal with him.
Jin An knew the reason for Caesar and Queen's excitement.
He must not allow himself to become someone else's experimental tool.
He slightly moved his hands and feet, quietly making some preparations for the next action.
Queen's gaze shifted from Jin An to Caesar, his tone full of anticipation.
"Caesar, you need to start the research as soon as possible. I look forward to seeing your results."
Caesar nodded, although uneasy in his heart, he still tried to appear calm.
"I will start working as soon as possible, but it will take some time."
Queen hummed with satisfaction, turning and walking out of the cave, leaving a few pirates to guard the entrance.
Jin An slightly moved his wrists, feeling the weight of the chains.
He knew he couldn't act rashly, but he couldn't sit still and wait for death either.
The power of the Azure Dragon Fruit was surging within him. As time passed, his strength gradually recovered.
Yamato leaned against the wall, her eyes filled with worry.
Caesar was busy, while also thinking about countermeasures and making plans for the future.
He knew that he was an important pawn in the eyes of Queen and Kaido, but he also knew that such a situation could easily lead to his death if he was not careful.
"Caesar," Jin An suddenly said in a low voice, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, "You know that Queen and Kaido won't protect you forever, right?"
Caesar stopped what he was doing and looked up at Jin An, a complex look in his eyes.
He nodded.
"Of course I know, that's why I need to complete the research as soon as possible to save my own life."
Jin An smiled slightly.
"Then let's cooperate."
"You help me, and we'll leave here together."
Caesar hesitated for a moment, obviously weighing the pros and cons.
But soon, Caesar's eyes became firm. He stared at Jin An, his eyes flashing with his obsession with his research.
"I won't give up this opportunity. Such a specimen is hard to find anywhere in the world."
Caesar slowly walked towards Jin An, the smile on his face becoming twisted and fanatical.
His fanatical eyes stared directly at Jin An, as if he had seen some priceless treasure.
"You don't need to worry about my safety."
Jin An frowned slightly, sensing Caesar's extreme obsession and madness.
"You need to know that in this world, some things are more important than life."
Caesar said in a low voice, his voice filled with a nearly obsessive fanaticism.
Jin An slightly moved his wrists, took a deep breath, and looked at Caesar.
"Do you really think you can control everything?"
A mocking smile appeared on Caesar's face.
"You overestimate yourself, Jin An."
"Here, I am the one in control."
