Chapter 64 Leaving and a Hard Battle

clang--

Caesar blocked the palm strike with his sword, and suddenly a powerful impact force hit him, and his figure flew sideways.

"The mechanism is weird!"

He flapped his wings and stopped, and Caesar was amazed.

The attack just now had no domineering power, it was purely a brute force resistance, and as a result, he was knocked away without any surprise.

Caesar felt that if he couldn't resist this elastic force with his current strength, it could basically be called a conceptual skill.

whoosh-

The big bear's figure flashed again, almost at the speed of teleportation.

Caesar swung his sword again, his armed color domineering wrapped around it, and collided with the meat ball in Big Bear's hand again.

boom--

The figure flew backwards again, and Caesar was a little surprised: "Can the entanglement of Armament Haki be bounced off?"

"can."

Big Bear nodded slightly: "Armament Haki attacks need to be attached to the surface of an object. Although they can cause damage, they will also be deflected."

"I see…"

Caesar swung his sword with his Armament Haki radiating outwards.

The big bear waved his hand, and with a clang, the sword suddenly turned and rushed towards the sky.

Caesar was stunned again: "Can it block the release of Armament Haki?"

Big Bear silently raised his hand, his palm covered with a layer of armed color domineering, wrapping the ball of flesh in his palm, and his calm tone sounded a little proud.

"After all, I can also use Armament Haki. Armament Haki will not affect the ability of the fruit, and attacks such as impact slashes that cannot be continuously output will be easier to bounce off."

This is really a hooligan, right?!
Caesar was stunned, realizing for the first time how disgusting the mechanism was.

So far, all of his opponents have taken the numerical route, including Yamato's freezing air and Kaido's wind, rain, thunder and lightning, which are themselves also a kind of numerical value.

This was the first time he encountered a monster with a strange mechanism like Big Bear.

It does feel a bit disgusting...

For this kind of enemy, as long as the value does not exceed the opponent's limit, you can only be beaten by him!
Of course, this statement is not absolute. After all, battles are ever-changing. Different opponents and different states may produce different effects, such as Usopp in desperate situation...

“Come on, come again!”

Caesar became interested, sheathed his sword, and punched out!
The domineering color wrapped around Liuying, and it collided heavily with the meat ball in the big bear's paw!
boom--

Thunder burst out, and the clouds in the sky were suddenly dispersed!
Feeling the powerful force coming from the palm, a hint of surprise flashed in the big bear's eyes.

In the sight, the air between the fist and the palm was compressed to the extreme, and then exploded rapidly!

The big bear felt a pain in his paw and flew backward uncontrollably.

"Huh... the value of Domineering Haki is still rising!"

Caesar blew on his fist, which was steaming slightly, and smiled triumphantly.

In the distance, the big bear got up from the ground, dusted off his body, and appeared in front of Caesar in the blink of an eye.

He looked down at the swollen and painful flesh ball, a little surprised: "What an amazing power! Just with the domineering color wrapped around you, you can be considered the most powerful person in this sea."

Caesar observed Big Bear's condition and said, "You're also outrageous... You act like nothing happened."

Unlike the previous punch that hit Jhin in the face, Big Bear caught this punch with his hands and resisted it with his own strength, so it seemed that nothing was wrong.

Caesar felt that the big bear's defense should be weaker than the embers that were still burning, but much stronger than the embers that were not burning.

But in terms of strength, Big Bear should be stronger than Jhin, and much stronger.

"Then... let me see your overall combat power!"

Caesar swept his hand across the shadow, and the long sword disappeared. Then his figure flashed and suddenly appeared in front of the big bear like a frame.

Big Bear was startled and punched out subconsciously, but missed.

Sensing danger with his Observation Haki, he spun around abruptly, raising his hand and aiming at Caesar who was leaping into the air behind him: "Pressure Cannon!"

whoosh-

The moment the bear paw-shaped transparent shell was fired, Caesar's figure suddenly rose one meter in height. While dodging the pressure cannon, he punched him in the face!

Bang!
With a dull thud, before Caesar's fist could hit his face, the big bear pushed himself backwards more than ten meters.

"Interesting use, but I've caught your weakness..."

Caesar flapped his wings and swooped down towards the bear like a hunting bird of prey.

bang bang bang-

A series of dull sonic booms exploded in his ears, and in the hazy steam, dozens of Caesars appeared in Big Bear's vision!
Afterimage?

is it possible? !
Big Bear looked at the scene in astonishment, his heart full of disbelief.

Suddenly, a hand rested on his shoulder from behind, causing him to stiffen slightly. He shook his head helplessly: "With your keen fighting sense and extreme explosive speed, even if we ignore your direct combat power, I'm afraid no one in this world can escape your assassination."

"Every inch has its own merits..."

Caesar landed lightly on the ground. "As I expected, your reaction time won't be able to keep up with the speed in a close combat situation."

"Yes, but your fighting style is very dangerous."

Big Bear warned, "Putting too much strain on your body will severely deplete your energy. You should be careful. Fatigue accumulates in a cumulative manner and may suddenly exceed your endurance limit at some point."

"That should be paid attention to."

Caesar nodded. Big Bear was definitely the person in the world who understood fatigue the most, so he listened to the advice and ate his fill.

His vampire fruit does not have infinite endurance, and manipulating blood also consumes physical strength. Although he can recover by sucking blood, mental fatigue is also a factor that cannot be ignored.

"Great! Now we have three top-tier fighters! Congratulations~"

Caesar clapped his hands and said, "To welcome you, let's have a banquet tonight!"

"Three top fighters? The other one is..."

"My girlfriend Yamato!"

Caesar chuckled: "I have mastered the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki, and my strength is not inferior to yours!"

“Young people today…are truly amazing!”

Just as Nobita was about to say something, the Den Den Mushi in his arms suddenly started chirping.

"Hello, this is Big Bear."

"Oh no, Big Bear!"

The voice on the other end of the phone was that of a middle-aged man, sounding very anxious.

"That bastard King Bekoli is back! All the old people have been captured! He's threatening to kill you if you surrender to the palace within three days!"

"what's the situation?"

Big Bear's face darkened. "Weren't all the soldiers under that guy defeated?"

"It's the Navy!"

The man's voice was angry. "King Bekoli found the navy. That guy was the previous king. I don't know what he promised to the navy that allowed those guys to get involved."

"Where's Bludog?"

“He was also arrested!”

"Three days? I see..."

Daxiong was calculating the time in his mind and was about to hang up the phone, but was suddenly stopped by Caesar.

"Wait, tell him you're willing to pay the ransom! Tell him to hold on and name a price first!"

Caesar explained in a low voice, "The annual payment of Heavenly Gold by the member states of the World Government is not a small sum. That guy has the Navy as his backer, so it must have cost him a lot. Don't worry, buy as much time as possible. I will find someone to negotiate with him."

"I understand... Tell King Bekoli that I'm willing to pay the ransom. Let him name his price first."

Big Bear hung up the phone, his face a little anxious: "You heard it too, can you help me take care of Bonnie? I will finish things over there as soon as possible."

"What are you talking about? You are my subordinate now, so how can I let you go alone? Although it is earlier than expected, it is about time..." Caesar took out Den Den Mushi and called Doflamingo.

Bulu Bulu Ka…

"Good evening, Dover!"

"Fufufu...it's His Excellency Caesar. It's so late, is there something urgent?"

Doflamingo's tone was pleasant, and one could faintly hear music and laughter on the other end of the line, as if they were having a party.

"Have you heard about the one-man revolution in the South Seas Solbe Kingdom?"

"Of course, after all, my people just sent that person to you..."

"I just got the news that King Bekoli has enlisted the help of the navy and is holding his people hostage to threaten Big Bear. I need you to help me hold that guy back for a while in exchange for a ransom. What's your price?"

"Fufufufu... It's just a small matter, and talking about money hurts our feelings."

Doflamingo readily agreed.

King Bekoli had just experienced turmoil and found the navy as his backer. It goes without saying that he was short of money at the time, so it could be said that this was a sure thing.

All he had to do was talk and send a random cadre to cover the matter, and he could do Caesar a favor. This deal was so good that only a man with a head kicked by a donkey would ask for money.

"Then it's hard work for you."

Caesar raised his eyebrows and naturally guessed what the other party was thinking.

Fortunately, he is a shameless person. If they really want to touch Doflamingo, this favor will not save him at all.

"What's the point of saying it's hard or not? We are relatives after all. If you have time, you might as well come and sit with me. Fufufu..."

"it is good."

"..."

After the call, Doflamingo's smile froze slightly.

Aren't you really coming?

I'm just kidding!
But the words have been spoken, it is not easy to take them back.

Otherwise, it’s unclear whether the people of the Solbei Kingdom will live or die, but he is definitely in big trouble...

"Don't worry, with that guy's ability, there's no need to worry in the short term."

After hanging up the phone, Caesar soothed him, "Just wait for news from that guy."

"So when do we leave?"

Although he had received Caesar's assurance, Big Bear still couldn't help feeling anxious.

Caesar shook his head slightly: "No hurry, I still have some things to deal with."

Thinking about Big Bear's future experience in the original plot, Caesar felt helpless.

This guy is too honest. He actually listened to Satan's words and never saw Bonnie again until his consciousness was completely erased.

Caesar had no doubt that if Big Bear had not met him first, he might have really tied his hands and delivered himself to the door.

"Peace survives through struggle, but dies through compromise. Taking a step back won't open up new horizons; it will only encourage those guys to push their limits. They lack morals, so how can they reason with you?"

"Disasters are bound to happen one after another. This is the natural order of the world. I know you're worried about those old people, but being in this ocean, we must always be prepared for revenge. Those who don't take risks will only be exploited."

Big Bear was silent for a while. He knew that Caesar was right, but he really couldn't take the risk.

Caesar was different. He couldn't stand any threat.

If you can threaten me, I can threaten you.

Normal people have things they care about, power, wealth, beauty, family, friends, or even their own lives...

It's like the navy publicly executing Ace. If he were Whitebeard, he would probably capture a few Celestial Dragons first.

If you, the navy, have the guts to carry out a public execution, I don't mind completely shattering the myth of the Celestial Dragons being superior in front of the whole world, letting the world see that even gods can bleed!
What we are competing for is the skill of cultivating qi!
There were so many practical methods, but Whitebeard chose to go for it, knowing full well that the other side was well prepared and had the home field advantage...

Compared to the navy, Caesar thought that King Bekoli, a greedy and despicable villain, was the easiest to deal with.

After experiencing a crushing defeat, he would not dare to attack the old people as long as the big bear did not show up. After all, the navy would not always protect him, and the ransom was just a bottom-line guarantee.

Relatively speaking, the really difficult ones are those mad dogs who don't care about anything, but there are only a very small number of such people, and they happen to be the easiest to exploit.

The weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.

This is an iron law in any world.

But precisely because of this, many people will subconsciously ignore a more important thing, that is, survival of the fittest!
Everyone has their own unique characteristics, so different people and situations require different responses. Only those who survive are qualified to become stronger...

Seeing Caesar's calmness, Big Bear also forced himself to calm down.

The two returned to the general's mansion. In the room, Bonnie was held in Yamato's arms, and the two were reading the comics intently.

Baby5 hummed a song and brought food to the table, looking like a newlywed wife.

In the courtyard outside the room, Robin was hitting a sandbag. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her punches were crisp and sharp. She had improved a lot compared to before, and the lines of her abdominal muscles were faintly visible under her sports vest.

"My dear, you are back~"

Noticing the two people entering the house, Baby5 jumped into Caesar's arms and said, "Dinner is ready!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Caesar patted her head lovingly and looked at Yamato and Bonnie: "It seems like you two are getting along well?"

"Yeah! Bonnie is very good!"

Yamato held Bonnie's arms with both hands and lifted her up, and for some reason he felt like he was seeing Simba.

"Stop holding me up like that!"

Bonnie struggled, and her body suddenly transformed into that of an eighteen-year-old girl. She threw herself into Big Bear's arms like a little deer, "Bear, you're back! When are we going home?"

"I can't go back~"

Caesar said leisurely, "Your father has sold his life to me in order to treat your illness. From now on, you can only work for me to pay off his debts~"

"Eh?!"

Bonnie looked at Caesar in shock: "You vampire!!!"

“That’s who I am!!!”

Caesar's face darkened. This was an irrefutable fact.

"Come on, everyone, come here, there is something important to say."

Caesar waved to Robin in the courtyard. Robin wiped the sweat off his face and walked into the room.

She glanced at Big Bear, thoughtfully asking, "Are you leaving now?"

Caesar nodded. "Yes, let me briefly introduce you. This is Big Bear, who is as powerful as Big Boss. He is our new partner. The pink-haired girl next to him is his daughter, also our new partner."

"Were I sold as well?"

Bonnie looked at Big Bear after hearing that, then chuckled again: "Forget it, as long as I can be with Big Bear!"

Caesar couldn't help but smile and got down to business: "To make a long story short, due to some unexpected events, we need to leave here early!"

"Early? When?"

Yamato stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement.

"at any time."

Caesar took out his pocket watch and checked the time, his eyes burning with ambition: "Of course, before that, I still have a tough battle to fight..."
