One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 152 Fall
This is the wonderful use of the Vampire Fruit. By controlling the flow of one's own blood, the heartbeat is slowed down, and the body's activity is naturally reduced to a minimum.

In this state, even if Hancock stood naked in front of him, he wouldn't be able to stand up!
As the body enters this 'endangered' state, the body's hormones will also decrease, and naturally, worldly desires will disappear. It can be said that Caesar would not even have the most basic lustful thoughts!
However, to others, Caesar at this moment was just like the leader they had dreamed of, calm and composed, completely unaffected by Hancock's charm.

"This guy's reaction is really strange."

Nami came to Robin's side and whispered something.

Robin smiled slightly. Although she didn't know how Caesar could remain unaffected, she didn't expose his feigned indifference.

Caesar walked forward unhurriedly, his gaze fixed on Hancock. His calm eyes held a faint chill, causing the women on the shore to scream with infatuation.

That's... Caesar!
Because of the difference in altitude between the ships, Hancock had to look up at Caesar.

With black hair and black eyes, and a handsome face, he wore a burgundy shirt with a black silk scarf tied at the collar, and black wide-leg military trousers that were cinched at the calves by a pair of brown-red high-top leather boots. A long knife was held horizontally at his waist, making him look capable yet elegant.

This is... the man who killed the Celestial Dragon, the Sky Emperor!

Hancock stared blankly at the figure. Sunlight streamed down from the sky behind the figure, making it appear even more sacred, yet also inexplicably distant.

"Why is the Pirate Empress here on my territory?"

Caesar's tone was not hostile. He could roughly guess why the other party was here. It seemed that the news of killing a Celestial Dragon had greatly shocked the other party.

But that doesn't mean Hancock will fall in love with him because of it.

In the original work, Hancock fell in love with Luffy not only because he had fought a Celestial Dragon, but also because Luffy did not look down on her because of his past experiences.

"Caesar... no, Sky Emperor, I have come here to..."

Realizing her lapse in composure, Hancock coughed lightly, turned her head slightly to compose herself, and then looked at that handsome face again.

"It is for—"

Looking into those deep eyes, Hancock's mind went blank, her heart pounded wildly, and a blush crept up to the tips of her ears.

Suddenly, a burst of heat rose from the top of her head.

Hancock could no longer suppress the inexplicable emotions in her heart. She couldn't help but smile, cupped her beautiful face in her hands, and suddenly turned her head away with a shy smile.

"Yeah~"

The air fell silent.

No one expected that the mighty Pirate Empress would act like such a girl.

Therefore, after a brief period of quiet, the entire port suddenly erupted in excitement!

"Ah! I'm going to die!!"

"Is she shy? She's definitely shy."

"So beautiful! So cute!"

"Ah—Lady Boa Hancock!!"

The crowd on the shore, the Kuja crew, and even Caesar's crew screamed. Even Nami, who had just been full of hostility, was now affected by Hancock's power, her pretty face turning red.

"This woman... is far too dangerous!"

"It's a charm ability?!"

Robin's cheeks flushed slightly as she exclaimed in amazement.

"Oh oh oh oh!!!!"

The beasts around Caesar were practically boiling with rage!
They shouted and yelled at the top of their lungs, as if they were going crazy, lost in their emotions, and had no regard for their lives!

Not only were the young men blushing, but even several vice admirals from headquarters were panting and groaning. Only top-tier fighters like Caesar, Kuma, Kizaru, Yamato, and Garp remained relatively calm.

Caesar is overpowered, Yamato is naturally gifted, Garp is getting old and has seen many storms, Kizaru is a pure strongman with a firm belief, and as for Kuma, you could say he has a grave in his heart.

As for the others, the situation was already in an uproar.

"Wait, that's not right!"

Nami, who was lost in her infatuation, suddenly snapped back to reality and roared with her shark-like face: "Why would that woman give Caesar that kind of look?!"

On the other side, Hancock also suddenly woke up, not daring to look at Caesar again, and turned her head slightly away: "I have come to seek an alliance with you."

"I do not ally with pirates."

Caesar said calmly, unmoved by the other party's stunning beauty: "Unless Kuja is willing to give up its identity as a pirate, in return I can open a shipping route with Kuja and provide you with resource support."

"Really... not allowed?"

Hancock blushed and gave Caesar a pitiful look.

"Damn it! Just say yes to her already!"

"That's right! Say yes! Say yes!"

Two untimely shouts rang in his ears. Caesar turned his head slightly and saw that it was Galdino and Ace.

Caesar smiled, glanced at Big Bear, who nodded slightly, silently walked behind the two, and with two powerful punches, embedded them into the deck.

"Well... I'm sure you've all seen the newspapers from the last two days."

Caesar chuckled lightly: "Let me tell you the truth. My goal is to overthrow the Celestial Dragons' rule, completely unify this sea, so that the poor can also have enough to eat and wear, so that the weak will not be enslaved by violence, and so that everyone on this sea can be equal."

"I admire those brave warriors who set sail for their dreams, but on my seas, there will be no villains who plunder at will! Otherwise, not only will I not hesitate to raise my sword against the Celestial Dragons, let alone you Kuja!"

Celestial Dragons, butcher's knife... Hancock's figure swayed for a moment, her face flushed, and she almost couldn't help but shout out.

Ha~~~~~
So handsome!

He's so handsome!

I dare not look him in the eye!

I feel like I'm melting, my body is so hot...

Her breathing became rapid and involuntarily quickened. Hancock felt dizzy and staggered. Sandasonia quickly stepped forward to support her.

"sister!"

Marigold glared at Caesar: "A mere man dares to be so arrogant! Don't get too cocky!"

"That's right!"

"How dare you offend Lady Snake Princess!"

"My lord! Turn this rude man to stone!"

Behind Hancock, the Kuja warriors glared angrily at Caesar.

"ha--?"

Hearing the shouts of the female warriors on the other side, Barto, who was still under the influence of Hancock's charm, instantly came back to his senses and looked arrogantly at the Kuja Pirate Ship on the other side.

"Rude? Arrogant? Overconfident? Turn to stone?"

Barto's forehead veins bulged as he gave the other side the middle finger: "Who do you think you're talking to! You filthy bitches! Who's offending whom here? What number beauty? You're not even worthy of drinking our captain's piss! Heh heh heh heh!"

"ah!!"

"Ignorant person!"

"Arrogant wretch! How dare he offend Lady Snake! Kill him!"

Barto's words instantly ignited a riot within the Kuja Pirates, with arrows raining down on the Eternal Night.

Seeing this, Barto on the Eternal Night made a hand gesture, ready to erect the barrier at any time.

Anbian Yixiao also frowned slightly, ready to strike at any moment and sink the Kuja pirate ship into the sea.

Meanwhile, Hancock, who was at the center of the storm, felt a surge of fire burning her head and her whole body was burning hot.

Drink...drink urine?
Did Caesar like this?
Wait a minute, what am I thinking?!
Shaking her head vigorously to clear her mind of the chaotic thoughts, Hancock quickly called out, "Stop!"

Caesar also slightly raised his hand, signaling Barto to be quiet.

"I simply haven't had enough rest; it has nothing to do with Lord Case. Please don't be rude!"

Hancock tossed her long hair lightly, regaining her composure: "Please forgive their rudeness, sir. Considering they are all girls, could you please forgive their offense?"

"It's alright, Barto was just trying to protect me, please don't take offense."

Caesar nodded slightly: "So, what's your answer?"

"Can you guarantee the supply of materials to Kuja?"

Hancock confirmed, "The Amazon lily is in the doldrums, so traveling to and from it is not an easy task."

Caesar said calmly, "My men have ships capable of traversing the Calm Belt; whatever the navy has, I have under my command."

Kizaru: "..."

How could this person say something so calmly?

"Then... we can negotiate."

Feeling Caesar's calm gaze, Hancock's heart skipped a beat: "As long as the conditions aren't too unreasonable, I'll agree to anything you ask!"

"Wait a minute! Snake Princess!"

Granny Newt, who had been observing Caesar, suddenly became uneasy, fearing that Hancock would betray Kuja, and quickly stepped forward.

"This concerns the people, so we should be cautious!"

After observing for a long time, Caesar couldn't figure it out, but one thing was certain: Hancock was indeed in love!
Needless to say, the target is this young man in front of me who just killed a Celestial Dragon and boasted that he would unify the four seas!
That spirited and confident look of his was so captivating that even Hancock, let alone someone decades younger, might not be able to handle it!
Seeing Hancock's love-struck state, Granny New couldn't help but sigh.

If killing a Celestial Dragon only shook Hancock's will, then the other party's boastful words were a sharp arrow that pierced Hancock's heart completely!

This woman has fallen for him!

This guy's luck with women is truly extraordinary!

Grandma New sighed inwardly as her gaze swept over the faces of the beautiful women beside Caesar.

Given Hancock's personality, she'll probably suffer a great loss later.

Arrived in Changchun. I drove all afternoon, and started writing as soon as I got there. (I'm a thousand words short because my back hurts so much I can't sit still. Sorry!)
