Caesar Clown

Caesar Clown Basics

Caesar Clown (シーザー クラウン, Shīzā Kuraun?), also known as Master (マスター, Masutā?, lit. "Master") by his subordinates, is a former colleague of Dr. Vegapunk. He is also a weapons of mass destruction expert and insane scientist with a bounty of Belly 300,000,000 on his head.[2] He was the main antagonist of the Punk Hazard arc and one of the central antagonists of the Dressrosa saga. During the Dressrosa Arc, Donquixote Doflamingo claimed that Caesar was one of his direct subordinates, meaning he is an official member of the Donquixote Pirates and thus protected by law. [7] Following Doflamingo's defeat and subsequent arrest, Caesar lost his protection and his criminal status returned to normal. [8] He was held prisoner by the Big Mom Pirates[9] after he was seized by the Fire Tank Pirates from the Heart and Straw Hat Pirates alliance. [10] He was later freed by Capone Bege and took part in the rebellion against the Big Mom Pirates,[1] after which he received his heart back and managed to escape. After escaping from Totto Land with the Vinsmoke family, he founded an organization called NEO MADS with Vinsmoke Judge to take revenge on Vegapunk. Over twenty-four years ago he was part of an organization known as MADS, a research group composed of renowned scientists, including Vegapunk, Vinsmoke Judge and Queen, until its dissolution, after which he joined the Navy alongside his former partner Vegapunk.

appearance

He has a gaseous appearance thanks to the power of the Gasu Gasu no Mi. He is tall, with black hair, brown (or orange) eyes, and two horns growing from the back of his head. He wears a robe that is sometimes blue and sometimes orange, so it may change color depending on the gas he turns into. He wears purple lipstick, has a small nose, and long, thin, flat eyebrows. He is very tall, twice Law's height, his arms are very skinny compared to the rest of his body, and he wears dark eyeshadow. He wears a bluish-white robe with the word "GAS" printed in pink on each side (in his first appearances it was not present). Under his cloak, he wears a pair of yellow overalls with diagonal stripes that are crossed with orange striped lines. He also wears dark purple gloves with the initials "CC" in white on them.

Personality

A failure?! Be careful what you say, my experiments never fail, even what happened four years ago... you're just talking nonsense... A failure? I exterminated all life on this island! Where was the failure, World Government?! I've wiped out more enemies than anyone else... I'll continue to record my victims until their final hour... Just you wait... I'll show the world what a great scientist I can be! Caesar Clown's opinion on his experiments

Personality

Caesar is, in Smoker's words, "a crazy bastard." His actions during the Punk Hazard arc only serve to validate the Vice Admiral's words. Caesar is cruel, arrogant, scheming, sinister, and overall, an evil person. He takes delight in causing harm and destruction to everyone around him. His psychopathic nature is shown many times, such as when he detonated a chemical weapon on Punk Hazard, forever scarring its inhabitants and destroying the island's paradisiacal environment. Caesar holds a great grudge against Vegapunk, who always surpassed him as the best scientist in the Marines. Despite this, he has a somewhat rational personality, as he preferred to try to hide rather than fight the G-5 Marines and wait for Joker to give him the authorization to kill all the Marines. He also has an egomaniacal and obsessive mind, in which it seems that the only thing that exists is the desire to investigate and demonstrate his supremacy and the scope of his brilliance. Because of this, he sees others as potential guinea pigs and their well-being is insignificant. Any harm he causes is, for him, collateral damage to his successes. The fact that he performs experiments on healthy children by making them believe they are sick and using them as guinea pigs who he knows will eventually die, shows that he is a person without scruples. He has no remorse in killing anyone who serves to demonstrate the functioning of his most valuable weapon, shinokuni, even Vergo, who is one of his allies or his subordinates, who help him in his work of capturing more test subjects.

personality

Caesar also seems to enjoy cocktails, often seen holding a cocktail glass. He is a good actor, having fooled his subordinates for a long time (although they are not very intelligent) by showing them fake tears. Caesar has a short temper and gets angry quickly when things don't go his way. He has a strange habit of showing extremely exaggerated expressions when surprised, such as when Luffy survived his second Gastanet attack and appeared behind him unharmed, recalling at one point Enel's faces when Luffy proved immune to his electric attacks. His pride seems to be so great that he is unable to recognize his failures, to the point of saying that his work four years ago was not a failure, but a great success. In his own words, he does not like being compared to Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users, such as Magellan, and insults towards him bother him to the point of causing a lot of harm to others, such as when he strikes Law's heart after the latter insults him. Unlike most Logia-type Devil Fruit users, Caesar keeps his power active all the time. While Caesar does at least try to fulfill missions made for him by other people, he does not mind giving them up and abusing the money and privileges that come with a hedonistic lifestyle of women and alcohol, especially if the missions he has been ordered to do are too difficult or impossible to accomplish (gigantization); he would even go so far as to lie to his investors in order to misuse the money for other purposes. When Caesar was under Doflamingo's protection, he did not care what he did to other people because he was much safer, even going so far as to ignore an Emperor of the Sea. Upon Doflamingo's capture, Caesar came to fear the consequences, especially since one of those awaiting his experiments was none other than Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors.

Caesar's Basics

Caesar is 303 cm tall, very tall. Caesar has honey-colored eyes. Caesar's hair is dark, it's black. Caesar is approximately 45 or 50 years old.

Allies

Monet She is aware of Caesar's true nature. It was Vergo who assigned Monet to infiltrate the Caesar Clown organization in Punk Hazard, due to distrust in the insane scientist. Despite this, Monet unanimously agreed to give her heart to Law when Caesar ordered her to. Monet takes her job of protecting Caesar and his test subjects very seriously, hindering the advancement of the Straw Hat Pirates and the G-5 Marines as much as possible. Due to her efficiency, Caesar seems to have great affection and trust for her. Vergo Caesar seems to put a bit of trust in Vergo, as he gave him Law's heart, to take care of. Caesar values ​​him as a strong shield, and Vergo is responsible for providing him with test subjects and kidnapping children for his experiments. However, Caesar has no respect for Vergo, as when he was about to wipe out the G-5 Marines with shinokuni, he didn't care that the Vice Admiral was in the same place. Doflamingo Doflamingo doesn't trust Caesar, so he ordered Vergo to place Monet to spy on the scientist. Despite this, the Sea Warrior values ​​Caesar for being the only one capable of producing the SAD (which has earned him business with Kaido in the sale of SMILE). Although Caesar is unaware of Doflamingo's distrust, he knows his own value to him, leading him to delude himself into thinking that the protection bestowed upon him makes him untouchable. As such, Caesar spoke highly of Doflamingo, using his name and fame in an attempt to scare Luffy from harming him, all of which ended in failure when the pirate brutally defeated the scientist.

allies

Baby 5 and Buffalo Caesar knows about Baby 5 and Buffalo's abilities. He seems to have a lot of faith in them, as when he saw them he immediately considered himself saved. Baby 5 seems to know a few things about Caesar's research, such as the fact that he is not interested in human weapons. Despite his trust in them, he decides to abandon them to return to Dressrosa alone when they were defeated. Smiley Smiley is Caesar's pet. He seems to have feelings for her, but he didn't mind "killing" her to carry out his experiment with the shinokuni.

subordinates

Subordinates Brownbeard and the other centaurs thought of him as a kind-hearted savior, so they trusted their Master blindly. Brownbeard was extremely grateful to Caesar, who accepted him after he lost the use of his legs and even got him new "legs". Brownbeard compared Vegapunk to the devil and Caesar to God. He believed that Caesar should continue his scientific work for the sake of humanity although he does not seem to be fully aware of what is really going on in his laboratory. However, Caesar does not care for his subordinates, as he uses them as guinea pigs in his experiments. After Brownbeard is captured by the Straw Hats, Caesar considers him a useless idiot and orders the Yeti Cool Brothers to kill him. When Scotch shoots him, Brownbeard's last thought is when Caesar once called him a good leader. Upon awakening, Brownbeard attempts to get revenge on Caesar in order to rescue his crew; Caesar, in turn, sadistically insults Brownbeard, and secretly reveals to him the truth of the chemical weapon incident four years ago, leading Brownbeard to view Caesar as a demon. His cruelty goes as far as telling his subordinates to remove their protective suits, telling them the lie that it would not protect them from Smiley gas, all in order to fully expose them to the poison gas as a worldwide demonstration, as well as secretly sabotaging the dragon-drawn sled. Losing to Luffy and becoming desperate, Caesar gives up all lies and frankly orders his subordinates to release the Shinokuni gas into the building, while stating that they are easily replaceable trash. Although shocked at first, the subordinates quickly delude themselves into thinking that Caesar was setting a trap for Luffy, and when they obey the order they are filled with horror (as many subordinates "died").

Losing to Luffy and growing desperate, Caesar renounces all lies and outright orders his subordinates to release Shinokuni gas into the building, while stating that they are easily replaceable trash. Though shocked at first, the subordinates quickly delude themselves into thinking that Caesar was setting a trap for Luffy, but when they obeyed the order they were filled with horror (as many subordinates "died") to see that their Master was not who they thought. Caesar seems to recognize the Yeti Cool Brothers' strength, as he ordered them to take care of the Straw Hats. The Yeti Brothers are very loyal to Caesar and follow his orders without question. Caesar also excused the Yeti Brothers' failure by saying that fighting Luffy and Law was too much for them. The kidnapped children Caesar has several kidnapped children sent to Punk Hazard by Vergo. He manipulates them all into thinking that their stay on the island is to cure them of a strange disease and he is experimenting on them to save the world and prevent them from dying like his supposed son. All the children have great respect for Caesar, so they have decided to follow his supposed therapies. However, in reality, Caesar is using the children as guinea pigs and has no remorse for them, even though he knows they will die within five years, claiming it is a necessary sacrifice.

enemies

Vegapunk Smoker mentions that Caesar was friends with Vegapunk, who has a rivalry with him. Caesar was always considered the second best scientist, despite all his efforts, that is one of the reasons why he hates Vegapunk. When Vegapunk found out about all his weapons of mass destruction he was developing, he fired Caesar, causing him to hate him even more. Despite these events, Caesar showed interest in acquiring Vegapunk's laser system, to the point of wanting to capture Franky for that sole purpose. He also used the method of making an inanimate object "eat" a Zoan-type Devil Fruit to bring Smiley to life, research that was done by Vegapunk. Marine Infantry Caesar has a deep grudge against the Marines. Even though he was arrested and imprisoned, he managed to escape. He also carries a bounty on him. When Caesar is informed about the arrival of the G-5 Marines he appears to be quite angry. He is seen smiling when Law gives him Smoker's supposed heart. In his flashbacks it is mentioned that he thought Sengoku was too soft on his weapons of mass destruction and that Sakazuki was interested in them. The Straw Hats After the Straw Hat Pirates accidentally arrived at Punk Hazard, Caesar wanted to eliminate them at all costs. Caesar became interested in the laser system that Franky possesses and wanted to capture him in order to extract it from his body. Once the Straw Hat Pirates learned of Caesar's dark intentions, they decided to help Law capture him. Luffy and Chopper have developed a deep hatred towards Caesar for how he treated children and his own men.

enemies

Trafalgar D. Water Law Caesar has always been very cautious of Law. He only allowed him to stay in Punk Hazard if he exchanged his heart with Monet's. When the Straw Hat Pirates came to Punk Hazard, he thought they were in league with Law and confronted him. Law, on the other hand, dislikes Caesar's methods and currently needs him to control SAD's production. Charlotte Linlin In the past, Caesar was hired to do research on Big Mom's gigantic enlargement. However, due to the limitations and complexity of the process, Caesar was unable to create any desirable results, leading him to use the funds provided by the Empress for his own use. He even repeatedly asked her for more money under the excuse of needing additional funding for progress, but only spent it for his own enjoyment. Big Mom was originally frivolous towards him due to being under Doflamingo's protection, but after being captured he fears retaliation from the Pirate Empress.[12] Not wanting to suffer Big Mom's wrath, Caesar asked the Straw Hats to not let her crew capture him.[13] Following his capture, Caesar lied to Big Mom by telling her that Luffy and Law's attack on Punk Hazard shattered his hard-earned results and the proper facility to do it all, only to be terrified to learn that Big Mom has built an exact replica of the laboratory for him to recreate it all, giving him two weeks to reap the rewards of his supposed success's nonexistence.

skills

Caesar has authority over all of the test subjects on Punk Hazard Island, as he saved them in the past and they now have blind trust in him. However, it was revealed that he does not care about them in the slightest. Caesar is also noted for being an incredibly cunning person, managing to easily escape from the Marine ship that had captured him, returning to Punk Hazard and remaining hidden for a long time. Another example of cunning was when he forced Law to give him his heart to prevent him from betraying him. This reveals the level of caution Caesar has over all people, preventing even the smallest detail from slipping through his fingers. He was also able to trick Brownbeard and all of his "subordinates" into believing that he was a good and kind person in order to use them for his own gains. In direct combat, Caesar has proven to be a powerful combatant, using the power of his Devil Fruit to put his enemy in a tight spot, an example of this happened in the second battle against Luffy, in which, he combined several attacks to prevent Luffy from getting close to him. He also appears to be a fairly resilient man, managing to emerge relatively unscathed from several Haki-imbued attacks using Luffy's Gear 2. He also withstood a terrible blow to the face from Luffy using Busoshoku Haki, emerging fully conscious.

skills

In addition to this, Caesar is an extremely stealthy man, managing to administer a sedative to Brownbeard that prevented him from speaking without anyone noticing. He also has the ability to combine with shinokuni, becoming enormous and practically invincible, as he annihilates everything he touches. Scientific knowledge Caesar is a scientist with a great deal of experience in science and chemistry. He was Vegapunk's second-in-command, so possibly and as stated on several occasions, he was the second most skilled scientist in the World Government. He was able to cause a massive explosion at Punk Hazard and turn normal humans into giants, a feat that even Vegapunk could not achieve. In the scientific field, Caesar resorts to illegal and inhumane methods to achieve his goals, something that Vegapunk finds intolerable. He possesses several illegal and dangerous drugs such as NHC10 or a drug that relaxes muscles and prevents speech. All this earned him recognition as the main expert on weapons of mass destruction in the world and people like Kaido and Doflamingo are interested in his business. A byproduct of his scientific expertise is that he possesses massively destructive weapons, the most notable being his "pet" named Smiley, a mountain-sized monster that constantly emits a vapor that annihilates anything in front of it. Caesar is also the only person in the world who knows how to produce SAD, a rare and valuable substance that is the main ingredient for creating artificial Devil Fruits, this is another feat that Vegapunk was unable to achieve. Because of this, Doflamingo values ​​Caesar's work greatly.

gases

H2S: is a highly devastating gas with enough potential to destroy everything around it and that spread through Punk Hazard destroying all forms of life that resided there. It is the formula for hydrogen sulfide, a poisonous gas that can be very harmful to body tissues if it comes into contact in any way. It can also be found in liquid or gelatinous form. KYP: is another gas variant that Caesar created which serves to numb the opponent, this gas was used by the Yeti Cool Brothers

Devil Fruit

Caesar ate the Gasu Gasu no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that grants him the ability to transform his body into poisonous gas, as well as being able to generate and control it. He is able to hold objects and release them at will as seen with the cup he held in his soda form. A downside to this ability is the fact that it is deactivated by things related to the sea, sea water and sea rock. This is unknown but it happens to any devil fruit user.

history

History Past Caesar belonged to MADS along with Queen, Vegapunk and Vinsmoke Judge.[3] At some point in the past, Caesar had research funded by Big Mom, but the scientist scammed the pirate and has been hostile towards him ever since. At the service of the Government Caesar Clown was one of the best scientists in the Marine science division, he worked alongside Vegapunk on Punk Hazard Island in the development of weapons and drugs, the guinea pigs used were prisoners, something that Caesar Clown did not like since he believed that experiments to enlarge humans had to be done on children. He and Vegapunk used to be rivals, he was number two in the science division, and his way of thinking is very cruel. The Great Punk Hazard Incident Four years ago, Caesar Clown attempted to develop a chemical weapon of mass destruction, but the other scientists and Vegapunk tried to stop him. Clown, burning with rage, said that the then Admiral Akainu was interested in his weapon and pressed the button that activated it, causing an explosion that destroyed two of the three laboratories of the Punk Hazard Island facility, being devastated by the poisonous gas turning into a true desert. This incident caused Vegapunk's name to be linked to it and after that Clown was arrested by the Marines, but managed to escape thanks to his Logia ability.

straw hat

Unexpected intruders He first appears in the room where Franky, Chopper, Nami and Sanji were being held, commenting that the only one capable of creating lasers was Vegapunk and the Pacifistas, and saying that they should kill the approaching Navy ships with poison gas. He later appears when one of the Satyrs and Monet informs him of what happened to Trafalgar Law, Smoker, the children, the Centaurs and the Straw Hat Pirates. He was seen angrily scolding Sea Warrior Trafalgar Law demanding an explanation for what he did even though Law said that he is the one who should complain. After this, Clown is seen talking to Monet about the Straw Hat Pirates' bounties while the latter is experimenting on a centaur. Meanwhile, Brownbeard explains to the Straw Hat Pirates Clown's story and his own. And on the other hand, Smoker ends up telling his marines that he is a very dangerous man who escaped capture thanks to his powerful ability. He was also later seen finishing a conversation with "Joker", an infiltrator in the G-5 base who was covering up Clown's kidnappings in that area of ​​the sea, saying that they had been accidents at sea or incidents with the pirates. Then, together with Law and Monet, he said that the children would not be able to escape thanks to the NHC10 he gave them and that he had already sent two of his subordinates to get the marines. He was also surprised and happy about the fact that Law stole Smoker's heart. Caesar Clown sent his men to finish off Smoker, Tashigi and the G-5 Marines in their hideout, but he also ordered two dangerous hitmen, the Yeti Cool Brothers, to finish off the Straw Hat Pirates and Brownbeard forever, who had been captured by the former.

When the next day's newspaper arrives on the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, Caesar is shocked to see Doflamingo leaving the Seven Deadly Sins to retrieve it (though this turns out to be false, as Caesar idolizes Doflamingo). Upon arriving at Dressrosa, the Straw Hat Pirates form three teams, one of which is tasked with taking Caesar to Green Bit (led by Law), to which Caesar comments that if they're going to take him there, they should at least use a safe route. He can be seen in disguise, asking the owner of the Café where, along with Law, Usopp and Robin, they ask for information about the fierce fish. He is surprised along with Usopp by what was said about the fierce fish that are around Green Bit.

attitudes

Caesar acts submissive when he knows he's not in the right place to be himself. Caesar is also usually submissive with attractive people even if he doesn't admit it. Caesar is submissive with Doflamingo since he's his boss.
