One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 55 Photographer

New world, ghost island.

The light triangular sailboat slowly docked at the port, and Caesar and baby5 jumped off the boat.

"arrive!"

"Is this Wano Country? It's smaller than I thought."

Baby5 looked at Onigashima in front of her with some surprise. Because of her personality, she had been doing assassination work under Doflamingo, so this was also her first time in Wano Country.

"This is Onigashima. Wano Country is on the other side of Onigashima."

Caesar explained as he passed by a sentry post and the pirates on guard hurriedly greeted him.

"Lord Caesar!"

"Well, give me a copy of the newspaper from the last few days."

He threw a few skull yogis to the other party, who quickly handed over a stack of newspapers and then looked at Caesar hesitantly, wanting to say something.

"Is something wrong?"

Noticing the other party's reaction, Caesar was a little confused.

These low-level pirates usually don't want to get involved with the cadres, and a situation like the other party's is rare.

"Lord Caesar shouldn't have offered a reward yet, right?"

"Any questions?"

"No, no, no, it's just that you might as well dress up a little more handsomely these two days, sir."

The pirate on guard waved his hand hurriedly: "There's news about you in today's newspaper. I heard that you had a brief fight with Doflamingo in Dressrosa, and the outcome was inconclusive..."

"No winner or loser?"

Caesar's face darkened: "Who said that?"

"Um...that's what the newspaper reported."

Noticing Caesar's expression, the pirate hurriedly explained, fearing that Caesar would be furious and suck him dry and hang him on the lighthouse: "If we have to count, should it be Morgans's head?"

Caesar unfolded the newspaper. The headline read: "One Man's Revolution! The Kingdom of Solbe is engulfed in flames! Former revolutionary army cadre Bartholomew Big Bear violently usurps the throne!"

"Huh? Is that such a coincidence?"

Caesar was a little surprised, flipped back and found his own news on the inside page.

A rising business star suddenly appears in the New World after being missing for many days! A brief battle with Doflamingo, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, ends in a draw!

Caesar looked down and saw a picture of himself punching Doflamingo below the title.

The content of the news was not very informative, it was just speculation about the reason for his appearance in the New World, and combined with Doflamingo's attitude towards him afterwards, it was speculated that the two might have reached some kind of cooperation.

There weren't any messy reports, but it was just a draw...

It made him feel as sick as if he had eaten a dead fly!
Caesar finally understood why in the original plot, Big Mom was so angry when she learned Luffy's title of the Fifth Emperor.

"So? What does this have to do with the bounty?"

"My lord, you're a newcomer, and I'm afraid you don't know this. Whenever a powerful newcomer appears on this sea, soon... a legendary man will appear beside him in mysterious ways!"

"The legendary man? Who?"

"Photographer!"

"……who?"

"Photographer! Also known as Flame Pat!"

The pirate said, making a photo-taking gesture and adding, "FIRE!"

"Oh, I know this guy!"

Baby5 hammered his palm and explained, "That guy is a very famous photographer, employed by the Navy Headquarters, specializing in taking pictures of wanted criminals. However, because of his high level of photography skills, he is very popular among pirates."

"I met Doflamingo before when he was appointed as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He was a short man with a mustache. Rumor has it that he was a man that would be ignored by pirates." "Ignored?"

Caesar probably remembered the image of this person. If he remembered correctly, it should be the guy who took a picture of Sanji but forgot to open the lens cap.

"I said I ignored it, but in fact I was just pretending not to see it."

Baby5 shook her head. "Because no one knows who he's going to take a picture of, especially during battle, and it's too embarrassing to ask in front of the enemy, so they just ignore him tacitly and pose for themselves. It's said that even the Four Emperors avoid him during battle..."

"Actually, it's not just him. Most pirates wouldn't kill a photographer casually because they all want to look good in photos. It's just that guy is a very good photographer and specializes in taking wanted poster photos, so he's very famous."

Hearing this, Caesar suddenly remembered the battle between Kaido and Luffy. He slapped his forehead and his face was speechless.

That being said, it seems to be true...

The photo of Luffy's 3 billion bounty order in the fifth gear in the original plot was taken by this guy. Judging from the movements in the photo, the photo was taken when he had just awakened.

In other words, this guy actually took a nice photo of Gear Fifth Luffy in front of Kaido!
And Luffy's first bounty photo was taken with his face facing the camera...

In other words, those wanted posters in which the targets did not look towards the camera were not candid photos, but the targets were pretending to be cool and posing, to put it bluntly, they were trying to look cool!

Once you accept this premise, things start to get interesting...

"My dear, you have to dress up nicely these two days~"

Baby5 took Caesar's arm and said eagerly.

"So that's what it means."

Caesar finally understood what the pirate said and turned to look at Baby5: "So what's your bounty order?"

"He was originally a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, so there's no bounty on him!"

Baby5 held her cheeks in anticipation, "But if we're going to take a photo, should my darling and I wear matching outfits? Or wedding dresses? Ugh~ So shy!"

"Do you have to be so exaggerated..."

Caesar put away the newspaper, threw a stack of money to the pirate, and left with baby5.

He had traveled half the way back by submarine, so it was impossible for him to be tracked.

And compared to the bounty, he cares more about the news about Big Bear.

One Man Revolution...

I remember that not long after this incident, the other party embarked on a journey to find a doctor.

Now that Flamingo has passed on the message, it shouldn't be long before he can meet the other party.

In this way, a royal-level force was initially formed!

Robin and Baby5 can be regarded as mid-level combat forces, comparable to the Flying Six. Although their strength is still a little lacking, they definitely have potential.

In addition, once Big Bear joins, a supernova-level Bonnie will be given as a gift, which can also be considered as mid-level combat power.

In addition to these people, there is another potential stock in the bookstore in Kokoa West Village, Donghai, whom he invested in a few years ago.

Caesar will never let go of Nami, the top navigator.

Being able to sense weather changes just by smell and humidity is a talent only the protagonist in the Hunter studio next door should possess.

The key is that it looks good...

Yes, good looks are the key!
The ship's doctor's word, Trafalgar Law? Chopper?

Just get them all on board. Who would complain about not having enough doctors? It's not like we can't afford them...

It would be even better if we could trick Yixiao onto the ship, then we would be starting off with an imperial-level force!

PS: Wrong, wrong! When I said I was busy with the wedding, I meant the preparations for it, not that I was already married. What are you congratulating me for?
