One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 114 Ranking
Time goes by and it gets darker.

In the desert, people were lying in a mess.

Ms. Golden Week, the two little girls, Marianu and Bonnie, covered their foreheads with tears in their eyes. Their foreheads were red and swollen, and they squatted on the ground and refused to get up.

Baby5, Robin, Vivi, and Nami did not have any obvious injuries. Caesar was obviously much gentler towards the women, but they were all exhausted at this time.

In comparison, others are miserable.

Gardino fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back, two teeth missing, and Von Krei's posture was exactly the same as his.

Bonis was still somewhat conscious, but because two of his ribs were broken by Caesar's kick, he could no longer get up and lay on the ground gasping for breath.

Barto and Luo, the two guys with the most troublesome abilities, were given special care by Caesar. Not only were they beaten unconscious, they also had some broken bones.

Deuce was exhausted and fell asleep during the rest.

Beibao was not injured, but because of his fur, he fainted from heatstroke. Fortunately, Yamato helped him cool down and his condition recovered a lot, but it was impossible for him to continue fighting.

The other small fry are in a similar situation. Right now, the only one who can still stand on the field is Ace!
Although his condition is not very good, it must be said that from the perspective of physical strength alone, Ace is not on the same level as others, even the two animal types, Gaga and Bell, are far inferior to him.

Among people of the same age, probably only Runti and Peggy can compare, and that's with the bonus of being of ancient species.

If we don't consider the devil fruit factor, probably only natural monsters like Kaido and Big Mom can defeat him.

"Huh...ha..."

Ace was breathing heavily, his eyelids felt as heavy as if they were hung with a brick, and they were about to close at any time, but there was an uncontrollable smile on his face.

In just one day, he went from being killed instantly by Caesar to being able to survive two attacks from Caesar!

The difference may seem small, but in fact the progress is quite obvious.

You have to know that Caesar did not limit his own abilities. He did hold back against others, but he at least started with armed force against Ace.

At the end of this day, Ace's Armament Haki had already shown some signs of releasing. If he continued to maintain this, in about a week he should be able to initially master this most advanced power in the ocean besides the Conqueror's Haki.

call--

The dust blew past, and the last rays of sunset faded away under the sand dunes in the distance.

"Well...it's time."

Caesar leaned on his sword and glanced at the sky: "Today you are the only qualified person."

"Just qualified..."

Hearing Caesar's words, Ace's mouth twitched, his eyes widened, his body staggered uncontrollably, and he quickly supported his knees.

"That's pretty good. You've made rapid progress, but cultivating Haki isn't something you can do in a day or two. The strength, proficiency, and stock of Haki all require time to accumulate and settle. Even if you master Conqueror's Haki right now, it won't be the same."

Ace tutted, "You're only one year older than me!"

"This is the most despicable and tragic thing—the disparity in talent. Look at these fallen guys. Your talent is something many people would envy."

Caesar shook his head and laughed: "Okay, let's get ready to eat. As for everyone else, there will be no dinner tonight!"

No one answered.

Most of the people in the field have lost consciousness and will need to be carried back later.

As for the few guys who still had some consciousness left, they had no objections.

too tired!
It’s so tiring!

Even a big eater like Bonnie was so tired that she didn't even want to lift a finger.

boom boom boom…

The big bear took heavy steps and held Bonnie and Mariannu beside him in his arms.

Marianu looked a little bewildered, but soon calmed down and nodded slightly to Big Bear: "Thank you."

Big Bear smiled gently.

Soon, Cobra, who got the news, hurried over with his soldiers and sent everyone back to the palace.

Caesar and his companions enjoyed a delicious dinner and then returned to their rooms to rest.

Yamato is very excited tonight because Robin and baby5 are both sleeping soundly, which means that Caesar belongs to Yamato alone tonight.

Although she has a somewhat carefree personality, Yamato is still a woman after all, and a clingy dog-like girl at that. Deep down, she definitely wants to be closer to Caesar.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"I regret."

The next day, early in the morning.

In the restaurant, Caesar looked at everyone with regret: "From today on, except for Ace, everyone's training workload will be doubled."

"what--"

As soon as Caesar finished speaking, Nami's face suddenly collapsed.

"Ah, double it, just double it..."

Deuce's face was pale. He hadn't recovered from yesterday's battle yet. "It's better than continuing to fight like this..."

"Oh, right, I forgot to mention that."

Caesar slapped the back of his head and said cheerfully, "There's no rush for training. You still have to continue fighting today!"

"ah--?!!"

Except for Ace, Barto, Bonis, Bell, and Gaka who wanted to become stronger, everyone else was wailing.

"I can't help it. After all, the space on the ship is limited and can't support this kind of intense training. I don't have the time to waste on it. Otherwise, practicing like this every day would be much more effective than training 200 times harder."

Caesar said, patting Yamato on the shoulder: "If you don't believe me, just look at Yamato. He has been beaten by Kaido since he was a child, but he can still hold his own even against the admiral."

"That makes sense..."

Ace nodded in agreement.

"Do you really believe it?"

Nami's face darkened. This sounded like a bluff, right?
"Well... my brother has been thrown into all kinds of dangerous places by the old man since he was a child. Maybe because of this, although he's a bit of a worry, his vitality is indeed terrifyingly tenacious."

Ace thought of Luffy who was far away in Goa Kingdom. Even he had to admit that Luffy had great vitality.

And although he always thought Luffy's abilities were funny, he never underestimated his younger brother's potential.

Because without considering the ability of the fruit, Luffy's strength and skills are not much inferior to his, but the two are three years apart in age!
"So, are we still going to fight you today?"

Nami sighed helplessly. She was beaten quite a lot yesterday.

However, after this period of training, she found that her strength had indeed increased.

What surprised her most was that during the battle yesterday, her performance was far better than that of the last few cadres of Baroque Works.

Nami even had a vague feeling that she could knock those people down with one kick at any time if she wanted to.

She wasn't sure if this was an illusion caused by her rapid strength growth, but the progress brought by the training during this period was indeed clearly visible. This was also the reason why she wailed with her mouth but still honestly let Caesar manipulate her body.

Caesar patted Yamato on the shoulder: "No, your opponent today is Yamato!"

A silence fell over the crowd, but no one said anything. "Such a lukewarm reaction?"

Caesar spread his hands and said, "Someone's changed!"

Nami put her hand on her forehead and said, "Well... the daughter of the Four Emperors, it's not that bad actually."

Bonis also nodded. "A 1.3 billion bounty, it's a very famous name in the bounty hunter circle."

Baroque Works is composed of bounty hunters, and every time there is a new bounty order, they can obtain detailed information about the target in the first place.

In addition, the navy had no intention of concealing Yamato's identity at all, so the identity of the daughter of the Four Emperors Kaido was also known to many people.

In addition, the initial bounty reached 1.3 billion. Caesar may not think it is a big deal, but among the bounty hunters, Yamato's reputation is no worse than those of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"If we add Daxiong and Yixiao, I'm sure everyone will accept it."

Caesar smiled and clapped his hands. "Today, the three strongest members of the team, excluding me, will lead everyone in practical training. Please work hard!"

"Hashibean sacks! Three?"

Nami slammed the table and stood up, a look of horror on her face: "If these three people come together, even you can't be their opponent, right?"

"I think your understanding of me is still too shallow."

Caesar clicked his tongue and shook his head, but didn't explain anything.

Except for him, every top powerhouse in this ocean has some weaknesses.

Kaido and Big Mom focus on physical fitness, but they are still a little lacking in strong attacks.

Red-haired Hawkeye is an offensive player, but his physical fitness cannot compare to the first two.

Among the three admirals, Kizaru has high mobility but obviously weak defense, Akainu has high damage but lacks speed, and his physique is not up to the level of Kaido and Big Mom, and Aokiji is up to standard in all aspects, but none of them are outstanding.

For a strong person of this level, being biased in one subject means having a shortcoming!

And Caesar has no shortcomings!

In terms of strength, speed, damage, and physique, Caesar is now definitely the top existence standing in this ocean!
And this is under normal circumstances!
It is true that among these three people, Yamato and Yixiao have both reached the threshold of the general emperor, and Daxiong is also a well-deserved goalkeeper at this level.

However, although Yamato is relatively well-rounded, like Aokiji, he is not particularly outstanding in any aspect due to his age.

Yixiao has more than enough damage, but his physique is his weakness. Big Bear has both strength and speed, and is proficient in domineering, but lacks the domineering color.

As mentioned before, being biased in one subject means having shortcomings, and shortcomings mean weaknesses!

For Caesar, in the case of extreme burst, it is nothing more than a matter of one man and one sword...

No, considering the physique of the giant bear Bakanniya, they could probably withstand one more blow, but that was all.

With a huge amount of vitality to support him, he can burst out at the maximum for several hours, but these three people can't withstand such a style of play.

Oda once said that none of the Four Emperors could withstand the siege of two admirals, but Caesar felt that he might be able to try now!
Of course, Nami's worries are not unreasonable.

Although Caesar is confident that he can take on three at once, for Nami and the others, dealing with three people will definitely be more difficult than dealing with him alone!

"Hey, three?"

Ace swallowed the breakfast in his mouth and was eager to try it.

The others were also curious, especially Bonis, who wanted to know what kind of strength Caesar's senior officials had.

So, soon.

With a loud bang, a huge human-shaped pit appeared on the ground - Bonis was slapped into the ground by the big bear.

"fire punch!"

There has never been a word "coward" in Ace's life dictionary. Flames sprayed from his feet and he directly punched forward with fire!

Then--

"Wu Attendant Bingya!"

Yamato flashed in front of Big Bear, opened his mouth, and the freezing cold current turned into an ice tornado, roaring and colliding with Ace's fire fist.

boom--

Heat and cold, two completely opposite properties collided with each other, and the steam turned into an explosive air wave that swept across!
Whoosh!
A figure rushed out from the steam, with domineering aura flowing on Ace's fist, and rushed straight to Yamato's face.

However, before he could rush to Yamato, a terrifying pressure suddenly fell from the sky.

With a loud roar, the ground collapsed, and Ace's feet were empty, and he was directly sent underground by the terrifying pressure.

"Hell Brigade..."

He smiled and half-unsheathed his long sword, his tone slightly apologetic.

"hateful…"

In the deep pit, Ace stood up with great effort, his bones crackling.

"ROOM!"

Luo, who had been preparing for a long time, finally entered the battlefield at this moment: "Slaughterhouse!"

clang--

The power of the fruit collides with Haki, and Haki flows through Yamato, Nobita, and Ichisho, isolating the strange power outside their bodies.

The three of them looked at Luo at the same time. Luo felt frightened by their gazes and subconsciously took half a step back.

However, as soon as his footsteps touched the ground, his body suddenly stiffened.

The three people in the field suddenly became two, leaving only Yamato and Yixiao still standing there.

Behind him, a huge shadow blocked the sunlight above his head.

"It's indeed a dangerous ability. No wonder Caesar wanted to deal with you first yesterday."

Big Bear said lightly, his voice having an inexplicable ethereal feeling.

Hearing this, Luo's face suddenly turned dark.

His ability is indeed very strong. Although it consumes a lot of physical strength, it is currently the only one that can have an effect on Caesar and others.

Caesar stood in the shadow of a weathered cave not far away, eating watermelon and happily watching Luo being knocked into the ground by the big bear.

Ace and Bonis, who had just climbed out of the pit, were pinned down and beaten by Yamato. They stood there with a smile, slowly dealing with the attacks of others with their swordsmanship.

It is a good thing for these noobs to adapt to more fighting styles.

It will take a week to fully store Alabasta's records, and after this week, the crew members on board should be able to initially form combat power.

Silently observing everyone's performance, Caesar roughly ranked everyone's strength.

Excluding the researcher Dr. Wolf, and the three high-level fighters, Ace is undoubtedly the strongest, followed by Law, Baby5, Barto, Robin, Bonnie, Deuce, Baby, Nami...

But to be honest, judging from the physical performance alone, Nami and Bebo are better than Deuce, and even stronger than Deuce in terms of physique!

And if Nami can equip the Thunder Fruit, her strength can even surpass Baby5, and she can become a core-level combat force like Ace and Law!
"We need to head to Sky Island as soon as possible..."
