One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 116 Gaya
"I see, I see..."

On the airship at the World Economic News headquarters, Morgans flipped through the fax sent by Caesar and marveled at it.

"Crocodile, one of the Shichibukai, was the mastermind behind Baroque Works, plotting to seize Alabasta. His death exposed his plans, and the Alabasta royal family, with Caesar's help, eradicated Baroque Works... While not as explosive as his death, the intelligence is far more valuable."

Leaning on the big soft sofa, Morgans rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.

It is not difficult to guess the purpose of Caesar sending this news. It is nothing more than to undermine the credibility of the Navy and the World Government.

But what does he want?

But if it's pirates, whether good or bad, given the style of those guys who only talk about freedom and treasure, it's impossible for them to have such political considerations.

Are you planning to establish a force like the Revolutionary Army?

To be honest, he had not had a detailed understanding of Caesar before, but because of his identity as Kaido's son-in-law, he had preconceived the idea that he was a pirate.

It now seems that Caesar's plan should not be limited to this.

Otherwise, with the other party's strength, he should have ascended the throne of the emperor of the new world by now, and there would be no need to drag it on in a place like paradise.

After much thought, Morgans couldn't guess what Caesar was thinking, so he could only wave his hand and ask his men to publish the news in the newspaper.

If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. This man will make a big move sooner or later anyway.

As for the World Government's response after the news was released...

who cares!
Anyway, the World Government didn’t say it couldn’t be published.

By the time those idiots realized what was happening, the news had already spread all over the world...

Morgans moved quickly, and new newspapers with the smell of ink were carried across the sea by newspaper gulls.

……

Two days later, in the New World, Dressrosa.

Doflamingo leaned back on the sofa, his face covered with the latest issue of the newspaper, exuding a gloomy aura.

He had already learned that Luo had joined Caesar's men, which also meant that his plan for immortality had failed.

Not only that, he had some understanding of Caesar.

Don't be fooled by the other party's flamboyant behavior and the desire to kill him if they disagree with him. In fact, Caesar's moral qualities are obviously much higher than his, and the news from Alabasta also verifies this.

The reason why she acted so arrogantly in front of him was, in essence, because they were not the same kind of people and could not pee in the same pot. Sooner or later, they would stand on opposite sides.

This is so uncomfortable!

The two are now in a partnership, and he is helping Caesar find the devil fruit.

This is clearly an act of aiding the enemy. The stronger Caesar's subordinates are, the greater the threat they pose to him.

But if he doesn't do this...Caesar will definitely use this as an excuse to come and kill him.

The reason why the two of them can live in peace now is entirely because he can bring benefits to Caesar. Besides, no matter what, Baby5 was raised by him, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is his adopted daughter.

Doflamingo wouldn't care about this kind of relationship, after all, he even killed his own brother.

But now, this nepotism that he had never cared about in the past has become the bond that maintains his relationship with Caesar.

Damn, melancholy.

Shouldn't a guy of this strength be like Big Mom Kaido, throwing away her brain and letting him fool her?
……

At the same time, Ghost Island.

"Alabasta? Humph, boring..."

Kaido threw aside the newspaper Maria brought him and drank wine in big gulps.

"What's the point of going to such a place like Paradise? Why don't you come back and help me unify the new world?"

"Well... after all, he's the man who's going to be the king of the world."

Maria flipped through the newspaper and chuckled, "Your son-in-law is even more ambitious than you are."

"Ah ha ha ha ha... If not for this, you have no right to conquer my daughter!"

Kaido laughed loudly, not caring at all about Maria's offense.

He couldn't be more satisfied with Caesar as his son-in-law.

Although he was very unhappy with the other party's obvious attitude of suppressing him, he had to admit that Caesar was far superior to him when he was young in terms of talent, strength and intelligence.

He had nothing to say about being surpassed by such a junior.

He just wanted to see how far this guy could go in the end.

"How's it going over at Punk Hazard?"

"Quinn has been sending people to keep an eye on him."

"Well...if you have any news, notify that kid immediately."

……

Grand Line, Marinford, Marine Headquarters.

In the conference room, the top executives of the headquarters gathered together.

"The Seven Warlords of the Sea stole the kingdom, and Caesar and his gang assisted the royal family in suppressing the rebellion..."

Snapped!
A newspaper was slapped on the conference table, and Zhan Guo's face looked gloomy.

"Tell me, what are your ideas?"

"Hmm—good job?"

Aokiji leaned lazily in his chair, and the moment he spoke, Sengoku's blood pressure soared.

"It seems like this guy isn't just bragging..."

Yellow Monkey looked at the newspaper and said in amazement: "It has only been a short time and they are already making a move? They killed all the Seven Warlords of the Sea in their first move. Wow~"

Zhan Guo's face turned dark and his blood pressure rose even higher.

"It was a good thing."

Akainu sneered: "I've said it before, this bunch of scum will never stay in their place. What a bullshit Seven Warlords of the Sea, it's nothing but courting disaster."

"Okay, you three can keep quiet now."

Zhan Guo rubbed his head and suddenly felt a headache.

Aokiji shrugged, looking nonchalant.

He has been in this state for some time.

Ever since the last contact with Caesar, the World Government has been skeptical about his stance.

In recent times, he has been in charge of the headquarters and no one dares to send him out.

This also made him feel that the World Government was a bit petty.

Although, he is indeed not that loyal.

But hasn't he rebelled yet?
"Hmm, hahahaha, Aokiji is right, isn't this great?"

Garp bared his teeth and laughed heartlessly: "At least it proves that the brat is not a bad guy."

"Garp!"

Zhan Guo shouted, "Shut up right there! No matter if he's a good guy or a bad guy, this guy has seriously damaged the reputation and credibility of the Navy and the World Government!"

Garp was also stunned: "Ah? Is there such a thing?"

Warring States: "..."

The Navy is finished!
"Well, it's already happened. There's no point dwelling on it now."

Vice Admiral Tsuru said helplessly, "What we should consider now is how to recover from this incident. The Seven Warlords of the Sea stealing the country is no small matter. If this continues, it will inevitably cause a serious blow to the navy's credibility."

Zhan Guo was also troubled and helpless.

Although Caesar is now in Paradise, the territory under the strongest control of their navy, the Four Emperors' level of combat power is not so easy to deal with.

Even if Caesar could be captured, the navy would definitely suffer heavy losses.

Not to mention they can't even take this guy down!
He can fly, and he has a Paw-Paw Fruit user as a subordinate. Even if the three admirals joined forces, they would have no chance of stopping him. And if they were to attack Caesar's subordinates, then without a doubt, the Navy would be facing a Yonko-level powerhouse with unparalleled mobility and no constraints whatsoever!
Zhan Guo was very melancholy.

But fortunately, he was not the only one feeling melancholy.

Holy Land Marie Gioia.

In Pangu City, which controls the entire sea and is considered supreme by the people, the Five Elders, who symbolize the highest power in this sea, all look pained at this moment.

After the news about Morgans came out, the few people no longer thought about controlling public opinion. Their minds were filled with thoughts about what means they should use to deal with Caesar.

This is also the reason why they did not cause trouble for the navy.

Because they couldn't think of any good solution...

It was precisely for this reason that several people realized that asking the navy to target Caesar was somewhat unreasonable.

"What a rebellious person! What a rebellious person!"

The God of Justice, Holy Vochuli, who had a boar-tusk beard, shouted angrily.

"Calm down, Saint Vauchuuri."

The Scientific Defense God of War, Satan, who was leaning on crutches, said calmly, "This brat wants to shake up the Seven Warlords system and thus weaken our control over this sea, but he's still too naive."

"The Shichibukai were merely a product of the Navy's weakness. To think they could threaten us is wishful thinking. Vegapunk's Cyborg Project has already begun, and it won't be long before the Shichibukai system becomes a thing of the past."

The bearded environmental martial god, Maz Saint, nodded in agreement. "It's just another dragon. Even if we leave it alone, it won't amount to anything. There's no need to create trouble at this time."

"Aren't those navy guys the best at public relations? Let Zhan Guo handle it. Contact that guy Morgans and just leak some information to cover up the chaos."

"Seconded!"

"Seconded!"

"Then it's settled."

……

Meanwhile, Paradise.

"The direction of the needle has changed!"

On the deck, Nami, who was doing her daily training, suddenly exclaimed and raised her hands high.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the pointer on the fair wrist.

The pointer that was originally pointing to the next island was now pointing to the distant horizon.

"Oh—is this the direction of Sky Island?"

Everyone gathered around Nami, all with excited looks, their eyes shining.

The legend of Sky Island is spread all over the world, but compared to the giants and merfolk, which are rare but have indeed appeared in newspapers, the legend of Sky Island is undoubtedly more fantastic.

After all, there are very few people who can reach the Sky Island!
Even in the Grand Line, not many people believe that Sky Island really exists.

"According to what Caesar said, we should first go to Gaya Island and ride the surging ocean current to the sky..."

Nami's eyes sparkled with excitement, but her tone lacked confidence.

Although she was confident in her sailing skills, riding the ocean current to the sky was really a fantasy, and she was a little unsure.

But no matter how uncertain she is, Nami absolutely trusts Caesar.

Not to mention the help Caesar had given her, this top-tier warrior, capable of fighting the Four Emperors without losing, had traveled a thousand miles to Cocoa West Village, humbled himself and invited her aboard, even teaching her various combat techniques, a captain who had absolute faith in her sailing abilities...

Just based on this favor, let alone Sky Island, even if Caesar wanted to land on the moon, Nami would never object!

No matter whether it works or not, it has to work!
"I can finally see the legendary Sky Island!"

"The captain said that the Sky Islanders have wings!"

"A beautiful angel? I get it! Hey hahaha~"

"I wonder what delicious specialties Sky Island has?"

“It’s also great to have a ladyboy~”

"Sky Island!"

"Sky Island!"

"Sky Island!"

Ace, Deus, Barto, Gardino, and Von Clay were arm in arm, jumping around and laughing in unison.

Bonnie also hugged Big Bear's head, her face full of excitement.

She wanted to go to Sky Island with her father. This was the agreement she had made with Big Bear when she was sick, and it was also what Caesar had promised her.

"Sky Island...it's been a while since I've been there."

He smiled, leaning on his cane and sword, and said happily.

As soon as the words fell, the deck suddenly became quiet.

"Mr. Yixiao, have you ever been to Sky Island?"

Ace's eyes lit up: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Yes! Tell us quickly! What's on the Sky Island?"

Others also came forward, unable to hide their eagerness.

"Is there anything delicious?"

"Caesar said there are shells with all sorts of powers on them. Have you seen any?"

"Forehead…"

Yixiao waved his hand awkwardly: "Sorry, I was already blind when I went there."

"Ah—I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you'll be able to see it when you go up this time."

"Yeah, don't take it to heart..."

Everyone's faces suddenly became gloomy, and their loss was visibly visible, but they still had to smile comfortingly.

A smile: "..."

You guys are making me feel even more sorry...

"Although I was blind at the time, I can guarantee that what the captain said is true. Sky Island is indeed rich in shellfish. In addition, there is actually more than one Sky Island. In addition to the Sky Current, you can also reach it through the route to the top of the Western Sky."

Yixiao briefly talked about some information about Sky Island, and the depressed atmosphere became lively again.

"Ace's power ship can also be manufactured on Sky Island, and Bei technology can be integrated into it. In addition, the Thunder Fruit is also on the Sky Island we are going to, and there is also the Golden Country."

Caesar smiled and said, "How is it? This base camp I chose?"

"NICE!"

Nami gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of recognition for Caesar.

There is no need to worry about pirate attacks, as there is sufficient security at an altitude of 10,000 meters, the strongest natural-type Thunder Fruit, and the legendary Golden City.

This sky island is undoubtedly Nami's Jerusalem!

The target was within sight, and Caesar stopped practicing and called on everyone to move forward at full speed in the direction indicated by the pointer.

Suddenly, the sky became gloomy.

The dome was already covered with dark clouds without anyone noticing.

"it's dark!"

Yamato was excited. "Just like Caesar said, this means we have reached the bottom of the White Sea! Sky Island is not far above our heads! Wait, I can sense it!"

As she spoke, she suddenly raised her head and looked in a certain direction above her head.

Above the dense clouds, there is a lot of human breath!
There is no doubt that that is where the Sky Island is!
Soon, the ship sailed out of the shadowy sea, and a lush summer island came into view in the distance.

Gaya Island, here we are!
