One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 130 The Hundred Battles
In the blink of an eye, March has passed.

With the addition of Vegapunk, the development of Sky Island can be said to be changing with each passing day.

As early as a month ago, referring to the design drawings of Pluto, Vegapunk and Wolfe jointly created a new ship.

The ship is three hundred meters long and has three masts, as well as a dual energy system of electricity and flame. The flame power system can also use coal as fuel and has the ability to fly. It is named Eternal Night.

In addition, the two also designed blueprints of three other ships, named Dawn, Fiery Sun, and Twilight. The three ships are a clipper, a battleship, and a sea fortress respectively.

As for the Eternal Night currently under construction, it combines the advantages of three types of warships into one, and of course its manufacturing cost is far higher than the other three.

In addition, the bottom of the Eternal Night is inlaid with a large amount of seastone, and because of the sonar destroyer, it can easily cross the doldrums. When driven by electricity, it can cross the doldrums in just one day!

As soon as the new ship was built, Caesar took everyone to sail, and also brought some Imperial Guards selected by Yixiao. According to Yixiao's observation, these people may not be the strongest, but they are definitely the most loyal.

The voyage did not last too long. They first crossed the Calm Belt and returned to the East China Sea, picked up De Zaya and Barto's younger brothers, and then turned to the North Sea to pick up the original members of the Heart Pirates.

The arrival of these people further strengthened Caesar's power. Although there was no addition of high-end combat power, it made up for the problem of insufficient number of grassroots people.

In just half a year, Sky Island has become prosperous.

Gaya Island, located just below Sky Island, has also been developed into a holiday and amusement island. A huge amusement park has been built on the island, and Sky Island specialties such as Sky fish, shellfish, Weiba, pets, etc. can be seen everywhere in the street shops. In addition, there are also many expensive gold jewelry.

Half a year later, thanks to Morgans's repeated promotions, this place has become a resort in the first half of the Grand Line. It is no longer the lawless place where pirates gathered in the past.

Of course, such a prosperous island naturally needs someone to protect it.

Today, the security of Gaya Island is taken care of by Daxiong and Yixiao in turn, while Ace, Luo, Gardino, and Von Clay are stationed on the island permanently.

Because the records of ships passing through the nearby waters will be taken away by Sky Island, there are quite a few pirates coming here on weekdays. It can even be said that 80% of them are pirates!

However, with Caesar's flag hung at the dock, no pirate dared to cause trouble easily. Occasionally, there would be one or two ignorant young men who would be killed by Ace and Law quickly.

Caesar let Ace and Law stay permanently so that the pirates traveling back and forth could serve as experience packs for the two.

As for Gardino and von Clay, Caesar formed an intelligence team with them and sent them to collect intelligence on various forces in the sea, and they became Robin's direct subordinates.

Robin felt a little disgusted by this, but there was nothing she could do about it. These two people were the most cunning people on the ship besides her and Caesar.

Thanks to Yixiao's previous placement of several extra floating islands between Alabasta and Gaya Island, the magnetic field in the waters near Gaya Island has now completely stabilized.

Alabasta, Mayfly Islands and Gaya Island are connected in a straight line, connecting the magnetic field of this route and greatly facilitating trade between Alabasta and Sky Island.

Not only are the three islands connected in series, but after people arrive at Gaya Island, the direction recorded by the recording pointer points directly to Sky Island. In other words, Sky Island has completely become a link on this route.

It takes a week for the record pointer of Gaya Island to be full. If you cannot land on the sky island during this week, you will have to wait another week to refresh the record.

Half a month is neither short nor long, so most passing ships will wait for an extra week, during which time they will stay on the island to travel and vacation, and purchase some special products of the island.

Today, the shellfish from Sky Island have become the most popular trade product in the surrounding waters, bringing a lot of wealth to Caesar.

The only pity is that these shellfish are so durable. They are obviously not expensive and the customer feedback is very good, but apart from the merchants who purchase them, there are basically no repeat customers.

Seeing this, Caesar asked Vegapunk to research how to lower the quality of these shellfish without affecting their effectiveness. Vegapunk refused without hesitation and vehemently criticized Caesar's unscrupulous business tactics.

The reason is that he is a perfectionist and will not allow himself to produce such a rubbish product.

He could tolerate the artificial pink dragon fruit, but he couldn't tolerate the inferior shellfish at all!
Not only that, in order to extinguish Caesar's unscrupulous business intentions, he also developed a calcium powder that can effectively increase the hardness of shells and sold it to those Sky Island people who raise shells, resulting in the current extremely high quality of shells!
Of course, this is not without its benefits.

The higher quality of shells means that some shellfish with offensive capabilities will become more practical.

For example, among the shells such as Impact Shells, Slashing Shells, and Flame Shells, the best quality Impact Shells on the island would require even Caesar to use 50% of his strength to break them. And with his increasing strength every day, this strength could knock Ace into a retard with just one punch!

These shellfish can even withstand domineering attacks!

Although it cannot store Haki and cannot withstand the flow and release of Armament Haki, it is incredible that such a small shell can achieve this level.

Caesar even equipped each of his crew members with a few shells, and personally stored a slashing arrow in each of them in case of emergency.

In addition, the Impact Shell is equipped with Kuma's Bear Impact, and the Flame Shell is equipped with Ace's Great Flame Ring.

Although he couldn't withstand full strength, with Caesar's current strength, even if he only used 50% to 60% of his strength, and even if he couldn't add the domineering aura, one strike would be enough to kill a lieutenant general of the level of Flying Squirrel or Ghost Spider.

It has been more than a year since Caesar left Wano Country, and he doesn't know what his current strength is.

But judging from several exchanges with Yamato, Ohkuma, and Yixiao, three top fighters... others should not want to know the answer even more than he does.

But we can't say that absolutely.

For example, there is a person who has been persevering in exploring his own strength since he went to sea.

No matter how many times you are knocked down, you will get up again and again and never give up.

Between Alabasta and Gaya Island, on the floating island that was once gathered together by a smile, now named Starshatter Island, Caesar and Ace are facing each other from afar.

Not far from the two of them, Barto held up a barrier to block everyone, and behind him, Yamato was holding a scoreboard in his arms.

There are two red numbers on the scoreboard.

99:0!

(PS: There is no charge for adding after this paragraph!

Some relatives and friends from the northwest came to Yanji, and I entertained them. I thought I would have to take a leave, but unexpectedly I managed to finish 2,000 words.

For a moment I didn’t know whether to apologize or feel smug…)
