One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 61 Recruitment
"Bartholomew Bear..."

Caesar looked at the newcomer, smiled slightly, and waved: "It normally takes more than three months for Xihai to get here. You're here really fast."

"Doflamingo's ship can cross the doldrums. A kind friend sent me here."

Big Bear nodded slightly, feeling inexplicably nervous. His tall figure seemed a little bewildered. "Of course, I also want to thank Mr. Caesar for his help. Regarding what you, Todo Flamingo, conveyed to me..."

"Come with me."

Caesar waved his hand, interrupting Big Bear and turned to walk towards the Flower City. Seeing this, Big Bear hurried to follow.

"Greetings, Lord Caesar. I have just made some pastries. Would you like to try some?"

"No, I have some things to do."

"Then I won't bother you, sir..."

"Mom, look! It's Lord Caesar! Good evening, Lord Caesar!"

"Good evening, little one~"

Along the way, passers-by greeted Caesar one after another, and Caesar smiled gently and responded to them one by one.

Big Bear watched silently from the side, feeling a little surprised.

In his original expectation, Caesar could make a deal with Doflamingo and was a member of the Beasts Pirates, so he shouldn't be such a tolerant person.

The two men arrived at the general's mansion. As soon as they entered the gate, a white figure fell from the sky and pounced on Caesar.

"Caesar! You're back!"

Yamato threw himself on Caesar, then turned to look at the big bear beside him: "Huh? Who is this guy?"

"His name is Big Bear. I have some things to do. You can play by yourself for a while."

"I know~"

Yamato nodded obediently, then skipped away with his hands behind his back.

"This is Yamato, my girlfriend."

"A very cute girl."

After hearing Caesar's introduction, Big Bear smiled gently and had a better impression of Caesar.

Having a girlfriend who looks so innocent and cute, Caesar probably wouldn't be a vicious guy.

"Dear, you are back~"

As soon as Yamato left, Baby5 rushed over: "What do you want to eat tonight? I'll prepare it right away!"

"It's all right. I like everything you do. Go ahead~"

After sending Baby5 away, Caesar introduced her again: "Baby5, you are also my woman."

"..."

Big Bear was a little unsure of his judgment.

Arriving at a windowless Japanese-style room, Caesar looked at the airtight little cage in the bear's arms. "Okay, let me see."

Big Bear nodded slightly, put the cage down carefully, and opened the small door on it.

In the cage, a little pink-haired girl gently poked her head out and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Caesar looked at the little girl in front of him. Her long pink hair was shiny and soft. She looked very well-behaved and cute. Her big eyes were smart and cunning. The green scales at the corners of her eyes could not destroy her childish vitality.

The girl looked around and finally her eyes fell on Caesar's face, and she suddenly grinned.

"Hello! Are you the guy Xiongxiong said could help me heal my illness?"

"Bonnie, call me Mr.

Big Bear looked at Caesar apologetically: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Caesar, this child has a bit of a naughty personality."

"It's ok."

Caesar took out a huge syringe as tall as a person from behind him, and the sharp tip of the needle flashed with a cold light.

"Let's do a blood test first!"

"Eh?! What a huge needle! You're definitely seeking revenge, bastard?"

Bonnie's eyes widened and her face turned pale, obviously she was very scared.

"Haha, just kidding~"

Caesar put away the syringe and looked at Bonnie with a smile. His pupils had turned red and his pointed ears were trembling slightly.

At this moment, in his sight, the vitality of the two people, like a heat source, showed two completely different manifestations.

The big bear was completely red, and its vigorous vitality was like a burning furnace.

Bonnie's was just the opposite. The orange-yellow vitality was mixed with strands of grayish-white, which extended from the spine and bones, extending to the girl's body like a spider web.

Big Bear looked at Caesar nervously: "Mr. Caesar, look..."

"It's not a big deal. Even if I can't handle it, I have a backup plan. Don't worry."

As Caesar spoke, he lightly scratched the fabric of Bonnie's clothes on her shoulder with his fingertips.

"Don't worry, it won't hurt."

Caesar leaned over, and his fangs easily pierced the skin on Bonnie's shoulder. Bonnie felt her shoulder numb, and her body stiffened uncontrollably.

Caesar narrowed his eyes. The situation was just as he had expected. Bonnie's illness was indeed caused by a disease in her hematopoietic stem cells. And because they were both part of the blood system, treatment was even simpler than recovery from injury!
How lucky...

As the big bear watched nervously, the green scales at the corners of Bonnie's eyes suddenly fell silently.

Seeing this scene, Big Bear's tears suddenly burst out!

"Ho-tui!"

Caesar retracted his fangs, turned around and spat out a mouthful of dirty blood.

"Mr. Caesar, Bonnie..."

The big bear looked at Caesar hesitantly, afraid of hearing some news that had been heard not far away.

"Okay, no problem."

Caesar smiled, patted Bonnie's pink hair gently, and casually handed the girl a gold coin: "Your father and I still have some things to discuss. Go out and play first. If anyone bullies you, show him this."

Bonnie turned to look at Big Bear, who smiled gently, wiped away his excited tears, and ruffled his daughter's hair.

"Go ahead, Bonnie."

"it is good--"

Bonnie skipped out of the room, and Big Bear looked at Caesar.

Then he knelt down silently, supported himself with his hands, lowered his head deeply, and sat down towards Caesar.

"Mr. Caesar, I really am... so grateful!"

"There's no need to be so serious."

Caesar helped Big Bear up. "Although Jade Scales is indeed difficult to treat, as you can see, I am a Vampire Fruit user. I can only be said to be a professional match. And to be honest, the reason I did this was more to recruit you."

"it is good."

Big Bear gave a gentle smile and agreed without hesitation.

"Is it so pleasant?"

Caesar was a little surprised: "To be honest, I prepared a huge pie to recruit you, but I didn't expect you to agree so directly."

"I just...just trust you."

Hearing this, Big Bear burst into tears again. "To be honest, I'm ready to sacrifice my life, just to cure Bonnie..."

"You really love to cry."

Caesar twitched his lips and said, "But I don't want you to join the Beasts. I want you to join me. You... understand, right?"

Big Bear nodded silently and wiped his tears: "It's just that I don't quite understand. You could have made a request to me before curing Bonnie..."

"Yeah, like 'You don't want your daughter to lose her life, do you?'"

Caesar smiled and said, "But I thought about it. Using my daughter to threaten my father seems a bit shameless. Besides, I am a man who wants to conquer the world and walk the path of enlightenment. This is really unbecoming..."

Big Bear suddenly smiled: "Then you will definitely become a great leader."

"Hard to say…"

Caesar smacked his lips. "But it certainly won't be worse than the Celestial Dragons. This world is rotten to the core, so I plan to scrape the bones to cure the poison and make it what I want."

When Daxiong heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then why don't you join the revolutionary army?"

"you--"

Caesar raised his index finger, wanting to speak but stopping himself, then stopping himself again. Finally, he sighed in frustration, "You really don't learn from your mistakes. Why didn't Ginny's previous experience give you any inspiration?"

"That's not the case, Mr. Caesar..."

Big Bear sighed deeply: "The Revolutionary Army... also has many difficulties. We are not strong enough to launch an effective counterattack against the Celestial Dragons."

"If I remember correctly—"

Caesar counted on his fingers, "The Natural-type Coal-Coal Fruit, Hormone Fruit, Snips-Snips Fruit, and Push-Push Fruit should all be in the hands of the Revolutionary Army. They have all the conditions to disguise themselves and infiltrate to rescue them. Is it that difficult to rescue a woman?"

"Big Bear, I admire your strength and your selfless love for your daughter, but I can also see your weakness."

Caesar said calmly, "Revolutionary Army? What is your ideology? What is your definition? What is your goal? What is your significance? What is your program? What is your discipline? Let me tell you, Big Bear, a revolution can be bloody, can be tragic, but it must never suffer the humiliation that Ginny suffered."

Big Bear pursed his lips and unconsciously clenched his big hands on his knees into fists.

To be honest, Caesar didn't know much about the so-called revolution.

But at least he had seen what kind of blood and sweat his ancestors had shed for it.

At least his vision is much longer-term than that of the so-called revolutionary army.

"Helping people overthrow the tyranny of their own royal family is considered a revolution?"

Caesar said in a dismissive tone, "Without a unified ideology, strict discipline, sound laws, or a healthy system... In my opinion, that so-called revolutionary army is nothing more than a bunch of rebels."

Caesar had learned about the so-called revolutionary army. This group of people was very interesting, or perhaps it was interesting in a stupid way.

They follow dragons around the world, helping oppressed people overthrow their royal families.

And then they left!
This is what happened in the Kingdom of Solbe. King Bekoli simply revoked the decree to massacre the southern people, and they just walked away.

That chic posture, as if they were just playing house...
