One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 33 Return
Early the next morning.

On the beach, two ships, one large and one small, were moored side by side.

Caesar and Runti stood on the deck, waving goodbye to the members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Ghana~ stinky men!"

Runti's slender, white arms waved gently, and her bright big eyes curved into crescents.

The Beasts Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates have completely different atmospheres. In the Beasts Pirates, there is basically no affection between the pirates.

They were sitting together like good brothers one second, and the next they could draw their swords against each other because of an uneven division of the spoils.

As for those at the top, veterans like Jhin and Quinn, and their siblings, Jack and Maria, who grew up together, although they have some affection for each other, they are not very harmonious because of their different personalities.

In the world of pirates, the atmosphere of each pirate group is often determined by the captain.

Because the power to recruit people can only be in the hands of the captain, this is the iron rule of every pirate group!
Kaido is the type of person who believes in the law of the jungle and has no regard for a person's character. Naturally, the pirates under his command are of all kinds and qualities.

In comparison, although Whitebeard likes to have a son, not everyone can be his son.

It cannot be said that all the Whitebeard Pirates are good people, but with Whitebeard's open-minded character, there are indeed very few people on the ship who rob civilians or bully the weak.

Dad's reputation can stop a child from crying, but it will never make the child spit on him. This is the unspoken consensus of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Therefore, in terms of personality, the people of the White Group are indeed more enthusiastic and generous, and will not be annoying. At least Runti does not hate this group of guys.

"Goodbye, Runti!"

"We welcome you anytime!"

The crew members of the White Group gathered at the side of the ship and waved to Runti from afar.

"Let's go, everyone!"

Caesar waved his hand and said, "Wano Country has opened to the outside world. You are all welcome to visit Wano Country at any time!"

Marco smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later. We can't trust that bastard Kaido."

"Then let's talk about it after I defeat him."

"With your current state, it's still a bit difficult to defeat that guy."

Whitebeard reminded him calmly: "You kid... still lacks a little something."

"Faith?"

"Almost, you are not pure enough..."

"which aspect?"

"Various aspects!"

"I don't understand it at all!"

"Gulala... You don't need to try to understand too much, you'll understand when the time comes."

Whitebeard laughed and said, "Just remember, draw your sword and fight! No matter what you want or what you want to become!"

"I still don't understand..."

The two ships had already separated by a long distance. Caesar waved again and said, "Forget it, let's talk about it later. The mountains are high and the waters are long. We will meet again!"

"That sounds cool, write it down..."

Bista took out a small notebook and wrote down Caesar's words: "This kid is really good at showing off in both words and actions."

"That's their background and cultivation, you're just showing off."

Sachi teased on the side and everyone laughed.

"Dad, I want to go back to Wano Country."

Izo came to Whitebeard's side and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Wano Country is ultimately just that guy's one-sided statement. I'm still a little worried..."

"Go if you want."

Whitebeard agreed without hesitation: "But that place is Kaido's territory after all. I don't trust you to go there alone. Take some people with you."

"I'll go with you."

The captain of Team 8, Namur, stood up.

He was a fishman, and his main task was underwater rescue. If they encountered danger at sea, he could take Izou away quickly. He was just going to check on the latest situation in Wano Country. Too many people would be troublesome. It wasn't far from here, so a small speedboat would be enough.

…………

"Those guys are pretty good!"

After separating from Whitebeard and his group, Runti chuckled, a very innocent smile: "Hey Caesar, how about we have a party when we get back? Just you, me, Xiaopei, and maybe invite that idiot Yamato along too?"

Caesar looked at Runti with a smile: "Oh? Do you consider us friends?"

"Hmph~ Let's just leave it at that!"

Runti crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly: "Since you rescued my bastard dad, I don't hate you anymore!"

Caesar smiled. He actually quite liked Runti.

Although he is a bit noisy and his words are a bit harsh, he is actually very sensible. At most, he will just call someone a bastard or an idiot, rather than cursing others with malice.

His personality is very similar to Yamato, and he is also a bit naive.

However, Yamato's stupidity is that he doesn't get the point, while Runti's stupidity is just a daze, or maybe it's a reaction...

I don’t know if it’s a racial trait or something, but Maria doesn’t look stupid at all. She’s very smart.

"Ha—Xiao Pei will definitely like this kind of party. It's a party among friends, right? It's really the first time ever!"

Runti held her face in her hands, looking self-absorbed: "Speaking of which, being a sister is really hard. I am such a good sister~"

“Gahhahaha…”

A rough laugh came from behind them. The two turned around and Hanafza walked towards them with a big laugh. "You are indeed a good sister. You have worked really hard over the years, Runti."

Runti pointed at Hanafzai and said, "Ah, the irresponsible man is coming."

"Irresponsible? I'm such a failure as a dad."

Hanafza laughed loudly. "That can't be helped. Men always have ambitions that they must pursue even at the risk of life and death! Right, kid?"

"wrong."

"Eh?!!!"

Hanafza's eyes widened suddenly. "A guy as powerful as you can't actually understand me?"

"I totally don't understand. A man who can't even support his family, let alone have ambition."

Caesar sighed. "But your case isn't so bad. I've even seen people abandon their three-year-old grandchildren in the primeval forest. There's definitely something wrong with this world's view of family and education..."

"Hahaha, is that so?"

Hanafza smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek.

He is obviously more than three meters taller than Caesar, but for some reason, his temperament seems to be much shorter.

"By the way, uncle, you have a really good personality."

Caesar was a little surprised by Hanafza's attitude: "You're not even angry?"

"Don't look at me like this, I'm very cruel outside!"

Hanafza grinned. "But I always feel guilty when I see my daughter whom I haven't seen for many years. And this time... Thank you so much, Brother Caesar."

Caesar shook his head slightly: "You're welcome, this matter itself was caused by me."

"Well, I failed, there's no need to give so many excuses. Ultimately, it all comes down to my lack of strength."

Hanafza waved his hand. He knew his own strength very well. At best, he was at the level of the Three Calamities. It was basically impossible for him to make further progress in this life.

"My biggest wish now, besides collecting ancient devil fruits, is to see my children happy in my lifetime. It would be even better if I could hold my grandchildren in my arms, hahahaha..."

"Oh."

“I hope that in my lifetime…”

"I heard uncle."
