One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 124 Shi Ji
Ding Ding Dangdang ...

The ruins of the original Golden City have now become a construction site. The Sky Islanders and the Shandians work together on the construction site to build their own homes and Caesar's palace on this land bit by bit.

Of course, given Caesar's status as Emperor, the construction of the palace must be the top priority.

There are also residences for the crew members, which must be built as quickly as possible.

The guys on the ship were either orphans or runaways. It was impossible for Caesar to leave them without a place to stay, so he waved his hand and gave each of them a villa, and no one was polite.

Anyway, he is only responsible for providing materials and he doesn't have to do the work, so it's like being generous to others.

Of course, as a reward for their work, Caesar gave the local residents a lot of good things, such as soil.

This thing is called Bass in Sky Island. Because it can grow food, it is more valuable than gold in Sky Island and is the real hard currency in the eyes of the people of Sky Island!

Caesar did not let them down. Their wages for a day's work were a pound of soil, and three meals were provided during the work period. The local residents praised the emperor for his generosity and wanted to pledge their loyalty to Caesar. The only problem was... the crew looked at him as if he were an animal.

Fortunately, Yixiao explained in time, and Caesar was saved from being hung on the street light by his own crew.

Caesar had no choice but to pay money and goods, which would be nothing compared to the soil in the eyes of these people from Sky Island.

"Everyone, it's time to eat~"

The bright and sunny Sky Island girl was carrying a small basket and distributing food to the workers.

"Oh, it's Conis."

A Shandia took the food from the girl with a gentle smile.

The two ethnic groups were forced to merge under Caesar's violent intimidation. Some friction was inevitable at the beginning, but with Caesar around, no one dared to cause trouble. In this situation, the two ethnic groups could only bite the bullet and force contact with each other.

However, after the contact, the two tribes unexpectedly discovered that the other side was not so difficult to contact.

The boys of Shandia like the gentle and quiet girls of Sky Island very much, while the boys of Sky Island are fascinated by the bold and wild girls of Shandia.

To this, Caesar can only say that no matter in which world, ethnic exchanges still depend on young people with thriving hormones.

"You have worked hard."

Conis smiled widely.

"Haha, you've worked hard too."

The old man in front of him, Shandia, blushed. "Come to think of it, Conis, are you going to move to Arpaiado in the future?"

"I don't have such plans."

Conis's family is considered middle class on Sky Island. Her father is a Viba repair technician. The mainstream transportation tools of Fengbei Technology on Sky Island are all within their professional scope. The father and daughter have a big house near Cloud Beach, so there is no need for them to move to Arpaiado.

"But I will be working in Arpaiado later." Conis smiled.

"Hmm? What kind of job? Opening a restaurant?"

Brother Shandia looked excited. He had a great liking for the gentle and beautiful Sky Island girl in front of him.

She was different from the wild women in the tribe, and her kindness and gentleness were enough to make people lose themselves in them.

"She's the head maid of the palace!"

Conis smiled gently, "I heard from Miss Baby5 that it was specifically designated by His Majesty the Emperor."

"Eh?"

Brother Shandia's smile froze on his face, and he was completely petrified.

To be honest, the job of a palace maid is basically no different from that of being the emperor's woman.

Although Sky Island used to be a theocracy ruled by gods, in essence they are all similar, and the work is to serve the rulers.

But how the ruler treats the maid is the ruler's business.

"Did the emperor force you to do this job?"

With a bit of unrealistic expectations, Brother Shandia asked tentatively.

"Hmm? No."

Conis looked expectant. "Miss Baby5 asked me about it, and I'm very satisfied with the salary and benefits. I heard that we can eat all kinds of Qinghai specialties every day in the palace. Miss Baby5 also promised that no one will force us to do anything we don't like."

"That's it..."

Brother Shandia breathed a sigh of relief: "But how does His Majesty know you? Have you seen His Majesty before?"

"No…"

Conis was also puzzled by this.

"Could it be that he has a crush on you?"

Brother Shandia's smile was a little forced.

"Eh? Can I really?"

Conis covered her cheek in a somewhat unsure manner.

Brother Shandia: "..."

Your shy look breaks my heart!
Of course, Caesar is not attracted to Conis. It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least for now, he definitely admires and respects this girl's character and personality!

In the original plot, under the threat of Enel, Conis, faced with the choice between conscience and life, resolutely chose to follow her inner justice and morality, and told the protagonists of Enel's plan to force her to lead the Straw Hat Pirates to participate in the Trial of God, and was willing to bear Enel's divine punishment for this.

And when Enel was about to destroy Sky Island, and was distrusted and criticized by the people of Sky Island, he carried a cannon and drove the entire island away, and decisively pulled the safety to force the captain of the white beret to retreat. All these made Caesar amazed when he watched this plot!

She has a gentle and kind personality, and is patient with Luffy and his group of newly arrived reckless pirates. She won't cry all the time, and won't succumb to tyranny. When encountering problems, she can make decisions immediately and execute them decisively.

It may sound like a nothing, but in fact, even in modern society, less than 10% of people can do it!
It would be a waste of talent for such a person to be the head maid. Caesar planned to train her for a period of time and then use her directly.

As mentioned before, Caesar really looked down on these Sky Islanders and Shandians, but Conis was definitely a good girl worthy of respect and trust.

Seeing Connie's embarrassed look, Brother Sandia felt a chill in his heart.

But before he could say anything else, the sky suddenly darkened.

The two of them looked up at the same time, and saw dozens of warships floating slowly from the direction of the sun in the sky!
The bow of the leading battleship is carved with a golden lion head, which looks majestic and awe-inspiring.

And behind that massive fleet, there were actually several floating islands! They followed the fleet unaided and flew towards Arpaiado!
"An island flying in the sky?" Conis's expression changed.

The fleet was so large and impressive that it could be seen clearly from all over Arpaiado.

Naturally, this movement could not be hidden from Caesar and his gang, or perhaps the other party did not even try to conceal it, and they broke into Arpaiado, Caesar's base camp, so blatantly, which shows their arrogant attitude.

"Is that... the flag of the Golden Lion?"

Big Bear, who was helping Bonnie build a new home, looked slightly changed: "Bonnie, you protect everyone."

"understood!"

Bonnie waved her little fist. The little girl knew her priorities and would not cause trouble at a time like this.

Since Big Bear didn't let her follow, it meant that this kind of battle was not something she could interfere with.

Big Bear smiled slightly, and his figure flashed and appeared beside Yamato. At the same time, Yixiao also flew over on a huge rock.

Suddenly, a dark shadow pierced the sky. Caesar flapped his large wings and appeared in front of the flying fleet in the blink of an eye, holding a long sword and with a cold expression.

"Hahahaha, is that you? The brat who fought Kaido to a draw..."

On the deck of the leading battleship, a blond old man with a ship's rudder stuck on his head and two sharp swords replacing his legs was laughing wildly.

Golden Lion, Shiki!

"I thought it was someone..."

Seeing the person coming, Caesar snorted and sheathed his sword.

"So they are the remnants of the old times."

"Hmph, arrogant brat..."

Shiqi's smile turned cold, biting his cigar: "When I became famous, you were not even born yet."

"A hundred-year-old waste is not waste?"

Caesar's disdain was clearly written on his face: "Are you here for the gold?"

Shi Ji casually took out a newspaper and waved it, a trace of greed in his eyes: "Hahahaha, ten thousand tons of gold, I'm afraid you can't handle it, why don't you give it to me?"

As he finished speaking, the cannons in the fleet behind him were aimed at Arpaiado below, and it seemed that a wave of bullets could fall at any time.

"Ah…"

Caesar chuckled, seeming a little bored.

Shi Ji's frail and old body didn't even make him want to draw his sword.

Not to mention the main fighters on the ship, even Ace could pin him to the ground and beat him.

The old man thought he was Garp, and he thought he was the flying admiral who once dominated the sea...

boom--

The violent domineering aura suddenly erupted!
The black and red thunder exploded, sweeping across the entire flying fleet in an instant. On the deck of the fleet, Shiki's men fell down like wheat being cut, and Shiki's firepower deterrence was destroyed in just an instant.

"Hyperic..."

The Golden Lion's face darkened.

Caesar possessed three colors of domineering power, which he had anticipated before coming.

But what he didn't expect was that Caesar's domineering power was so strong and his control was so precise!

At this moment, everyone on the deck, except him, has lost consciousness!
Moreover, the intensity of this domineering aura was so high, but none of the people below were affected.

When he saw the news that Caesar and Kaido fought to a draw, he actually scoffed at it.

Morgans is a weakling, how can he know how strong the top masters are?

In the eyes of Golden Lion, Caesar can only hold out against Kaido for a period of time at best.

Even after repelling Garp, he didn't take it seriously.

After all, he knew Garp very well. He had been in love and hatred with Roger for so many years. With so many crew members on Roger's ship, not a single one died at the hands of this naval hero. Some people would have thought that he was Roger's deputy captain.

However, it now seems that Caesar's strength is a little beyond his expectations.

Because of the rudder, he could no longer use Haki, but Shiki always felt that with his strength as a great swordsman and the ability of the Float-Float Fruit, wouldn't it be easy to deal with a young boy?

Now it seems a little bit difficult.

In the current situation, if a fight breaks out, he will be alone against Caesar and his gang.

Caesar's strength alone was beyond his expectations.

Shiqi was considering whether to retreat, while Caesar was sighing that the older generation was still generous.

As soon as Shiqi arrived, he gave him several floating islands, a flying fleet, and a floating fruit.

If we get all of these, it will be like a wave of fat!

But the biggest question right now is whether the Baibai Sea can withstand so many floating islands?
Each of these islands is as large as or even larger than Arpaiado, and Caesar is not sure what impact putting them down will have on the Sky Island.

Also, who should Shiki give the Float-Float Fruit to?
Although the old lion is old, he was a strong man in his time, and his physical strength is definitely far beyond that of ordinary people.

Unlike the Chong Chong Fruit, the Float Fruit can permanently control objects to float once they are touched, but it also consumes physical energy.

Seeing Caesar in deep thought, Shiqi also felt a little bit of retreat in his heart.

Before he came here, he had originally planned to occupy this sky island and the 10,000 tons of gold on it, and develop it into the base camp of his own power.

Unexpectedly, Caesar's strength was beyond his expectations. At least he alone would probably not be able to defeat the opponent.

Fortunately, Caesar didn't seem to want to start a war, which made him feel relieved.

After thinking about it, Shiqi decided to speak up to give himself a way out and leave here first.

However, before he could speak, Caesar spoke first.

"Smile."

"give it to me."

He smiled and slowly drew his sword.

hum-

The invisible force field spread out instantly, holding up the flying fleet and several floating islands. However, Shi Ji, the controller, was unaware of it. Because no matter how heavy Yixiao made the islands, these floating islands had already been given the "floating" property by him and were not affected by gravity in his hands.

However, Yixiao had no intention of increasing gravity. He just released a force field to support the fleet and the floating island to prevent Shiqi from being killed by Caesar and causing the island to fall.

And at the moment when Yixiao used gravity to support the floating islands, Caesar also raised his hand!
"All things are attracted by heaven!"

hum-

Another force field spread out, pulling Shiki controllably like a whirlpool. Shiki's body suddenly flew uncontrollably towards Caesar. He wanted to distance himself from Caesar, but was surprised to find that his ability had failed!
"Wait, what kind of ability is this?"

Realizing that his body was out of control, Shi Ji's expression suddenly changed.

Then, without waiting for Caesar's answer, he suddenly raised his leg and slashed at Caesar with two huge blows!
“The reaction is quite quick…”

Caesar snorted and laughed. In the original plot, Ace was sucked into Blackbeard's hand using dark water for the first time, but he was beaten up badly!
After all, Shiki is a veteran warrior who has fought against the Pirate King and has a strong ability to respond. He immediately realized that he should use long-range attacks to target Caesar, the ability user.

It’s a pity that these two slashes that could not cover the domineering aura had no deterrent effect in Caesar’s eyes.

He didn't even bother to act. He transformed into an element, ignoring the golden lion's slash, and at the same time, he dropped from the sky at an extremely fast speed! He threw the attracted Shiqi to the ground!

bang——

The earth shook, and Shiqi fell into the pit with his eyes rolled up. Caesar waved his hand, and countless fruits beside him suddenly piled up into a small hill!

“Old people really can’t stand being beaten…”
