One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 15 Construction
In terms of body shape, Caesar and Yamato's height do not match.

But fortunately, as his physical strength grew, Caesar naturally mastered the six styles he had learned before. There was no difficulty at all, and it was much simpler than domineering.

And Caesar also received the sixth achievement reward - life return!
This ability is very interesting. The principle is to concentrate attention and infuse consciousness into body parts, thereby achieving free control of body organs.

Although the increase in combat power is not as good as Haki, its practicality is not weak at all.

The first is rapid absorption, which is the most common and practical ability in the original work. It basically appears after every meal of Luffy and helps digestion.

The essence is to enhance digestion and quickly replenish energy for body cells. This process does not produce side effects, but instead can convert food into vitality.

Caesar has already confirmed this. The effect of the nutrients absorbed through Life Return is exactly the same as the feeling he had when he absorbed vitality before, but the effect is not as obvious.

In other words, this is a skill that allows ordinary people to replenish their vitality to a certain extent!
The second is complete control over the body, as if every cell can change its physical characteristics at will.

Kudori in CP9 uses this ability to control his hair to fight. The same can be done with nails. Even if you don't find it disgusting, you can use hair from other parts of your body.

Rob Lucci, also a member of CP9, uses this move to change the overall shape of his body, reducing his height in beast form to that of an ordinary person, thereby increasing his speed and saving energy.

And when this ability appeared on Caesar, who also had powerful animal-type physical strength and could absorb vitality, it was a perfect match!
Caesar is only 1.9 meters tall, which is certainly not enough compared to those freaks who are often 3, 4, 5 or 6 meters tall, but he is still a few centimeters taller than Zoro and Sanji.

Normally, the maximum change in body size caused by life return is thirty centimeters, but with the blessing of vitality, Caesar can more than double this value, making him almost as tall as Yamato.

However, Caesar was not interested in changing his body shape. After all, life restoration does not only allow for overall changes, but also can change a single part.

So in his opinion, a height of 1.9 meters is just right, strong and upright, yet well-proportioned and coordinated.

Caesar's ultimate goal is to become the only emperor on this ocean, and an emperor naturally has to behave like an emperor.

What people want to admire is the spirited, noble and elegant, the romantic and unrestrained, the one who dominates the world, in short, not the stupid big muscle man, skr~
All in all, there is no need to worry about the harmony in the lives of Caesar and Yamato.

The core of the vampire fruit's ability is the control over blood and vitality. Even if there is no life returned, he can manipulate vitality to directly promote or inhibit cell division and growth, thereby achieving the purpose of changing body shape.

It is worth mentioning that although this Light Vampire Fruit is a branch of the Human-Human Fruit, it is an upgrade of the Bat Fruit, so its original ability has not been erased.

For example, when in the transformed state, his eyes can see the vitality contained in people's bodies like thermal imaging, and he also has the ability to hypnotize.

(Bats' eyesight isn't bad. Large bats generally have very good eyesight, and some species can even detect ultraviolet rays. Even small bats with degraded eyesight have basic photosensitivity and can distinguish the shapes of objects. Please don't criticize me.)
The sense of smell will be more sensitive. Not only can the ears hear ultra-high frequency sounds, but the throat can also emit ultrasonic waves and accurately locate the surrounding environment based on the echo.

The fangs will turn into sharp fangs, which contain paralyzing toxins and also give Caesar a certain degree of poison resistance.

Caesar estimated that Magellan's Poison-Poison Fruit would definitely not be able to withstand it, but Reiju's level might be able to challenge it...

In addition to his bat abilities, Caesar also has the power to create darkness.

Unlike the Dark-Dark Fruit, Caesar creates a dark environment rather than a black hole.

This is purely an auxiliary ability, combined with the blood mist shielding observation Haki, it is specifically used to create home advantage.

Overall, there is no obvious difference in the ability of the fruit compared to before the upgrade. If it is just an enhanced amplification and a change in appearance, it naturally cannot be called an upgraded version.

However, the Light Fruit has two advantages. The first is that it does not have self-awareness. As long as one continues to develop abilities and physique, it will naturally awaken at a certain stage.

As mentioned before, devil fruits have their own will, and will even intentionally choose their hosts and influence the host's will when the host awakens.

For those with animal-type abilities, this influence is even more dangerous. If they are not careful, the demonic will residing in the fruit will take over their bodies and turn them into beasts without self-awareness, just like Impelton's Jailermon.

However, the upgraded fruit does not have this danger, and its power is completely integrated with Caesar, and will not be separated even after his death.

In other words, today's Caesar is more of a vampire than a person with vampire abilities!
The second advantage is that because there is no devil's will in the fruit, it will not cause a conflict of devil's consciousness, so Caesar can still eat another devil fruit.

However, this ability has limitations. Due to the conflict of bloodline factors, the second fruit cannot be of the same type, and can only be chosen between the superhuman system and the natural system.

Similarly, if the second fruit is also a light fruit, then he can eat the third fruit, but even if they are all light fruits, he can only eat three at most.

Three fruits, three abilities...

To be honest, Caesar didn't have high expectations for this.

To him, devil fruits are not expensive.

Just 100 million Baileys...

Not to mention him, even a small country rich man like Ke Ya could easily come up with it.

Based on the original plot, a light sailboat of the same specifications as the Merry generally costs between 20 and 30 million, depending on the materials used. The Merry was originally just a hobby work of the housekeeper Merry!

There is no shortage of rich people in this ocean, but there is a real shortage of devil fruits!

It's just scarce, and every time it appears, it will cause a fight among various forces. It's completely a situation where there are too many wolves and too little meat.

Doflamingo, the biggest middleman in the underworld, has a bunch of weird and powerful people under his command.

As one of the Four Emperors, Kaido has less than ten animal-type subordinates.

In addition, the World Government is also collecting those powerful devil fruits, and the navy is like a wild dog and does not pick and choose anything.

Except for a few lucky guys, the people with special abilities in this world are basically the backbone of various forces.

One Piece has been updated for so many years, and there are only more than a hundred people with special abilities in total. This number is really no different from a legend when compared to the entire ocean.

Want to buy?

There has to be a way...

Anyone who has attended an auction will understand that when an extremely precious item appears in an auction and is promoted and leaked before the auction, it is very likely that this item is specially prepared for certain people.

As for the others, they can only be considered as the atmosphere group.

We are all people of status. Making friends, exchanging resources and cooperating with each other are the purposes of ordinary wealthy businessmen attending auctions.

If anyone really takes a picture of a fruit in a high-profile manner, the pirates will immediately follow after them, smelling the scent.

Not to mention the distant past, Runti's father, one of the original Three Calamities, Hanafza, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who was defeated by Ace in the future, is now carrying a knife around the world to help Kaido collect animal-type fruits!

I can only say that it is fortunate that vampire fruits really exist in this world, and fortunately Redfield is still in prison in Paignton, which allows Caesar to intercept him.

But if you want to find other fruits, it depends on luck.

Fortunately, Caesar no longer needs to worry about safety issues and can just spend money in a big way.

It’s hard to say about natural-type mythical beasts, but I should be able to collect a few ordinary devil fruits.

But Caesar didn't have any target for the second fruit.

Among the nature type, he likes Tristana and Thunder the most, but both of them are already taken, and one of them is even an admiral of the navy.

In addition, the most suitable one for him should be the Dark-Dark Fruit. If he can get it, he will never lack devil fruits again, and it will help him quickly develop his power.

Even if he could get a second masterpiece upgrade, he would be able to choose the target of the third fruit at will.

Of course, this is just an ideal state.

The collection system is not very powerful, as the storage limit makes the unlimited copying capability somewhat watered down. Its main value lies in resources and achievement rewards.

In the past, Caesar's achievement rewards were mostly talents and skills, and special items rarely appeared. He was very stingy.

When he collected Nico Robin before, he had wondered if there would be any rewards for collecting Devil Fruit users. But there weren't any...

This woman, the user of the Hana-Hana no Mi, who could influence the fate of the world, was unable to cause any fluctuations in the system at all.

The first devil fruit collected did not bring any additional rewards to Caesar due to the special nature of the mythical beast, and even the related achievements were not lit up.

So it seems that the masterpiece upgrade used on the vampire fruit might be the only one.

"We both traveled through time, but why can others become stronger just by signing in and punching in..."

A soft sigh sounded faintly in the silent room. Caesar stroked Yamato's slender and powerful legs covering his belly with one hand, and gently played with the pair of big thunders that he couldn't let go with the other hand.

The girl in his arms was sleeping soundly with a sweet smile on her face.

"Caesar~"

"Ok?"

"Like it~"

The girl murmured unconsciously, giggled, and rubbed her face against Caesar's shoulder.

Then Caesar's face was pouting by the devil's horns...

"I'm really afraid that one day you'll hit my eye with a headbutt and pop it..."

Looking at the delicate sleeping face, a hint of tenderness flashed in Caesar's eyes.

There was no reason for Caesar not to eat the meat that was served to him.

A whole day has passed since the previous kissing scene, and during this day, everything that should and should not have happened has happened.

What surprised Caesar was that this girl who was usually carefree was actually extremely shy in this regard. The subtle contrast made Caesar almost crazy, and he almost used up the backup hidden energy that he had plundered from the Oniwabanshu before.

What should I say...

Very moist!

This pair of big horns that like to poke people can be extremely useful in certain specific time periods!

Looking at the bright sky outside the window, Caesar patted Yamato gently.

"Wake up, General."

Caesar said in a teasing tone, "It's time to take care of government affairs."

"Um…good morning, Caesar."

Yamato opened his eyes with a yawn, saw the two naked bodies, suddenly chuckled, and got into bed.

"Huh? What do you want to do?"

"Maria said that's how couples greet each other in the morning."

"Don't listen to that woman, idiot..."

Caesar pulled Yamato out of bed by the horn and said, "Hurry up and wash up, we're going to be busy these next two days!"

The trouble in Wano Country is not just that the people are hungry. The idiot Kurozumi Orochi can do nothing but exploit people. If Wano Country wants to change, the paralyzed order must be re-established first.

After they washed up and left the room, Caesar called Maria Quinn and the others.

"Yo, you look good, you two."

When Maria saw the two of them, she gave a meaningful smile. Yamato chuckled and lowered his head, looking innocent.

"So, General, is there something that you want us to do?"

"There are some things to arrange."

Caesar looked at Runti and Page One, siblings. "Wano Country has been suffering from famine for a long time, and many ronin and criminals have emerged. I need you to maintain order in all places during this period."

"Maintaining order, order again..."

Runti curled her lips: "We are pirates, not navy, asshole!"

"To what extent?"

Peggy Wan was smarter than Runti: "Should we consider the public's reaction?"

"Oh? I didn't realize you were so talented in this area!"

Caesar glanced at Page Wan in surprise. "Don't overthink it. In troubled times, we need to use harsh punishments. We should kill all those who are causing trouble. However, we should not affect the people. Our priority is their safety."

"Safety first?"

Runti seemed to have heard something incomprehensible: "You are a marine, right? Oh, and you also know the Six Styles! That guy Foz F was once a member of the CP!"

"Different."

Caesar smiled slightly: "He knows the Six Styles because he is a dog raised by the Celestial Dragons, and I know the Six Styles because I am rich!"

"Tsk! What's so great about that..."

"What? You want to go restore the land with Quinn?"

"I'm truly sorry for accidentally offending Lord Caesar!" Runti shouted in humiliation.

"Your jokes seem to be filled with disdain for me!"

Quinn's face darkened, and he pointed at Caesar: "The land restoration work will take at most a month. Don't even think about ordering me around anymore, brat!"

Caesar nodded. "Okay, but before that, could you please research some medicine to make crops grow faster?"

"what?"

Quinn's face darkened. "Didn't I tell you? I'm only responsible for land restoration!"

"That's really embarrassing..."

Caesar sighed softly, then said in a gloomy tone, "I'm really being too difficult. After all, not every scientist is Vegapunk. I imagine that for a genius like that, this kind of thing would be just a piece of cake, right?"

"Ho ho ho..."

A clearly visible muscle burst appeared on Quinn's forehead: "Just wait for me!"

As he spoke, his fleshy body suddenly stood up, rushed out of the castle, and headed straight for the Ghost Island Laboratory...
