LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 95: Chapter 90
Caesar, who was struggling violently with his eyes wide open, saw clearly that all of Monet's attacks were swallowed by a door in the void!
"Oh~ Your Snow-Snow Fruit is really good~ This cool, refreshing touch might just ease the heat of my body and mind in summer."
Ethan's large hand gently stroked the snowflakes that fell on his shoulder, praising generously:
"You're stunning. Why not follow me? I might even consider granting Doflamingo a quick death when I catch him in Dressrosa."
At this time, Monet, wearing a green and white striped top, blue shorts, and a casual outfit, could not hide her *formidable* figure that could rival Nami's.
Ethan thought to himself: *If there's a chance, I must let them "duel" in front of me someday, proving who is the true queen of allure.*
Monet was momentarily stunned before her expression shifted into a shy and delighted smile, only to quickly change back, glaring fiercely:
"Betray the Young Master? Keep dreaming!"
Ethan chuckled at her reactions. She was truly a girl who couldn't handle a compliment without flustered pride surfacing.
Ethan mused, *She wasn't lying when she claimed loyalty to Doflamingo, yet she turns shy when praised... amusing.*
With a playful shake of his head, he smiled.
"Ah, so disobedient? You're giving me a headache~"
"Humph!"
Monet's eyes flashed dangerously as her body transformed into a giant snowbird, its radiant white brilliance mesmerizing.
In the next instant, she shot toward Ethan like an arrow, her sharp snow talons aiming to shred him to pieces.
"Alright, enough playing. There will be plenty of time for that later~"
With a swift motion, Ethan's hands, imbued with Armament Haki, caught her by the neck as quick as lightning, slamming her down hard.
**Bang!**
The impact left Monet slightly injured, but only because Ethan had held back—his attacks were measured. After all, Monet was someone he intended to take as a concubine. Harming her too much could ruin his plans for the future.
*Not yet family,* Ethan reasoned, *so this isn't domestic violence, right?*
Monet groaned softly under her breath, her body spasming from the blow, leaving her utterly defenseless.
Ethan leaned down, scooping her up into his arms effortlessly in a princess hold.
By now, Caesar had already succumbed to the pain and fallen unconscious.
Ethan scanned the room casually; the researchers were kneeling timidly, their fear evident. None dared to move, lest they provoke him further.
The sound of approaching footsteps echoed as Ethan's **God Team** entered.
"Roar, roar, roar~ God!" Shadley exclaimed, tongue lolling out as he perfected his canine Zoan Fruit powers.
Ethan nodded, issuing commands:
"Secure everything. Leave no stone unturned. Don't forget the slime, artificial Devil Fruits, and SAD hidden here."
Punk Hazard's primary export was **SAD**, the critical ingredient for creating artificial Devil Fruits, though the processed fruits themselves were mainly in Wano Country and Dressrosa.
"Roar, roar~" Shadley obeyed gleefully.
Ethan tossed Caesar to him, who caught him easily. A flash of white lightning passed through Caesar's heart as Ethan extracted the power of the Gas-Gas Fruit, storing it in a nearby container for future use.
With a burst of lightning, Ethan carried Monet out of the research institute, issuing one last order:
"Take him to Sky Island and lock him in the Human Prison."
**Human Prison**, one of the Kingdom of God's facilities, was beneath both **Hell Prison** and **Heaven Prison** in security but would suffice for Caesar's cunning nature.

### God's Kingdom, The Imperial Palace
Ethan carried Monet into the inner halls. Two angels immediately stepped forward, bowing respectfully.
"Your Majesty, do you require assistance?"
Ethan nodded, handing Monet to them gently.
"Search her. Take all communication devices or dangerous items, and dress her in proper attire."
"Your Majesty," one angel asked, "should she be clothed as a wife, servant, or concubine?"
"Concubine. Keep the rest of her appearance unchanged."
The angels bowed again before leaving to prepare appropriate attire.
"Oh, and bring a special seastone anklet with bells—one made for new concubines."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The anklet, designed to suppress Devil Fruit powers without incapacitating the wearer, was small yet effective. Its bells added an aesthetic charm, ringing pleasantly whenever its bearer moved—a delightful addition to Ethan's growing entourage.
While the angels searched Monet's belongings, Ethan's thoughts drifted to his **Blue Dragon Fruit**. Its potential for growth seemed endless. If he could transform into an enormous dragon, could he also augment his human form to grow proportionally?
*Why bother with San Juan Wolf's Expansion Fruit when my powers already offer such promise?*
