One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 140 Arrival at Sabaody

If the Celestial Dragons only possessed the power they have currently demonstrated, they would not have been able to maintain their stable rule over this sea for eight hundred years.

Although the vast majority of this group are low-IQ losers, there are also some with outstanding abilities.

For example, the so-called Knights of God...

Tsuru didn't believe those guys had strength beyond the Navy, but judging from Sengoku's secretive attitude towards the Celestial Dragons, it wasn't hard to tell that those guys weren't as simple as she thought.

But she didn't know the specifics of what happened.

She agrees with one of Caesar's statements: the greatest evil in the world is the Celestial Dragons.

As the Chief of Staff of the Navy Headquarters, Tsuru had witnessed too much filth that went against the justice in her heart, but she knew that this was a reality that she could not change by herself alone.

Not only could she not do it, but the navy couldn't either.

But just because the navy can't do it doesn't mean no one else can.

For example, she had a high opinion of Caesar, this young man.

The opponent's talent is undeniable; at only eighteen years old, he was already able to contend with Kaido, one of the Four Emperors. Now, a year has passed, and it's no surprise that Caesar has become even stronger.

While it may sound unrealistic for a single sea emperor to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' 800-year-old, deeply entrenched rule, it's not entirely a pipe dream.

Furthermore, as Caesar himself has said, he has never attacked the Navy in all this time, nor has he done anything evil. Therefore, without involving herself, Tsuru wouldn't mind giving Caesar a hint.

"With Aokiji and Akainu being temporarily recalled, will the Celestial Dragons make any moves...?"

After hanging up the phone, Caesar fiddled with the Den Den Mushi, lost in thought: "That's pretty much what I was thinking."

Although neither the Navy nor the Celestial Dragons can pose any threat to his Emperor-level combat power, it doesn't mean the World Government will allow him to develop so recklessly.

For example, if a high-end combat force is gathered to launch a battle, it may not have a substantial impact on him, but it will damage his prestige and reputation, which is not conducive to his future development of power.

"It looks like a long-awaited big battle is about to begin."

Caesar was in high spirits and not very worried.

The three admirals alone pose no threat to him now.

It would be even better if he could attract one or two of the Knights of God. Caesar really wanted to see if his upgraded Dark-Dark Fruit could have any effect on the Knights of God.

For example, if a person is trapped in a black hole and continuously crushed and destroyed, can the opponent's recovery speed keep up with its destruction speed?

Since the members of the Knights of God can infinitely recover from their injuries, could they infinitely plunder life force by continuously using vampire abilities?

Although he wasn't confident he could wipe out the Knights of God in one fell swoop, Caesar figured it wouldn't be too difficult to capture two members for research.

Yamato and Kuma each had a general tied down, and Caesar was confident he could severely injure one general and capture him alive within twenty minutes. If the opponent was Aokiji, it would be even more certain…

Unless two more admirals are added to the three admirals, with Ace and Law around, there's no need to worry about enemies below the admiral level. As for the low-level fodder, Deuce can handle them all by himself.

Of course, Caesar did not forget his main purpose in coming to Sabaody Archipelago, which was to randomly kill a Celestial Dragon and take the opportunity to bring Amazon Lily under his control.

He wouldn't bother to start a fight with the Navy if he couldn't see a Celestial Dragon.

Silently calculating in his mind, soon, on the distant horizon, an archipelago composed of giant mangroves came into view, and above the archipelago, countless bubbles shimmered with colorful hues in the sunlight.

Before they even got close to the island, Caesar and Nami's Observation Haki had already covered the archipelago, probing for any potential dangers.

"Haha, so beautiful!"

Yamato, holding onto the railing, exclaimed with delight, "So many bubbles! I saw someone sitting in a bubble car! Caesar, I want to ride in a bubble car too!"

"I want me too!"

Bonnie raised her hand, jumped up and down, and exclaimed excitedly.

"Didn't Vegapunk create one for you?"

Caesar glanced at the two of them: "This island landing is different from before. I'll only be bringing Nami. You two just stay on the ship and behave yourselves." "Eh—"

Everyone gaped, looking at Caesar with resentment.

"I've been looking forward to this for so long..."

Yamato pouted and looked at Caesar pitifully.

"If it weren't for the convenience of communication, I wouldn't even bring Nami along."

Caesar waved his hand lightly, turned around and jumped off the ship: "There may be an ambush waiting on the island. Although I am not worried about your strength, it is better to be cautious to avoid trouble. It is not too late to go to the island after the crisis is over."

"That's it, hehe..."

Nami smiled smugly, stuck out her tongue at everyone, and then, in a flash, appeared beside Caesar, waving to the crowd: "Just give me a call if you want anything, and I'll bring it back for you~"

Baby5 stood by the railing, looking at Nami who was clinging to Caesar's arm, her face expressionless: "You wretched woman..."

"Haha, there's nothing we can do about it."

Yamato laughed and patted Baby5 on the shoulder: "After all, Nami is the fastest among us, so we don't have to worry about her holding Caesar back if we encounter danger."

"Of course I know."

A hint of shyness flashed across Baby5's beautiful face: "I'm just simply jealous!"

Robin: "He expressed the ugliness in his heart without any hesitation."

Diuss stroked his chin: "I'm more curious about what Caesar meant by 'ambush'? The navy?

Ace chuckled: "Anyway, there's definitely going to be a battle. I just don't know what kind of ambush it will be, since they won't let us follow them."

"I think they're worried we might be ambushed if we act alone."

Robin thought for a moment: "Since Caesar didn't even bring Yamato and left us all behind, it means that the enemy has at least two admirals."

"Two generals?"

Galdino and von Kree immediately urinated.

"After all, this is near headquarters."

Big Bear wasn't too surprised; in fact, he seemed rather eager to try.

Although he does not possess Conqueror's Haki, the powerful physique of the Bakania race gives him strength and endurance that surpasses even Zoan-type users, allowing him to continuously refine Armament Haki.

Furthermore, he has been cultivating diligently for the past six months. The powerful physique of the Bakania tribe, when fully utilized in cultivation, has brought about feedback that is almost like having a cheat code. Big Bear feels that his overall strength has increased by at least 30% to 40% compared to six months ago.

"In any case, let's prepare for battle first."

While everyone was discussing, Caesar arrived at a small tavern.

"Shawn's Extortion Bar..."

Nami looked at the bar sign in front of her and narrowed her eyes slightly: "A woman?"

"A, um... a beautiful and youthful older sister."

Caesar blinked and pushed open the bar door.

“Welcome~”

The two entered the bar. Behind the bar, a slender, short-haired woman with a cigarette between her fingers smiled slightly at them and said, "Since you're so good at talking, I'll give you a 10% discount."

(PS: Adding this paragraph is free.)
The word count is a bit low, and this part of the plot is a little difficult to write. It's not that I have no ideas, it's that I have ideas in my head, but I don't know where to start. I feel a bit lost.

Deepseek's writing style is too artificial and its tone is shallow and dark, making it unsuitable for reference. Please be patient, let me sort it out properly!
