One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 67 Climbing the Tower

"What is this!!!"

In the distance, the people watching the fight all had expressions of shock on their faces. The brother and sister, Runti and Peggy Wan, were even more shocked, their jaws dropped, their eyes bulged, and their noses ran uncontrollably.

Big Bear also looked at this scene with a serious expression, sweat on his forehead.

Kaido's strength is far beyond what he could have imagined. It turns out that the title of the strongest creature on land, sea and air is not for nothing.

boom--

The hundreds-meter-long dragon tail swept casually, and the ghost horns of the huge skeleton were like butter cut by a hot knife. They were instantly cut by the high temperature and fell to the ground with a loud bang!
Kaido's body was covered in flames as he sat high in the sky, looking down at Caesar.

"More than a decade ago, this country's hero was burned to death!"

"Well... I'm sure you already understand the reasons. After that, the country fell into a reign of violence and became a lawless zone."

"Until you arrived, Caesar, you were indeed very clever... able to satisfy my interests while also ensuring that the people of Wano Country had enough to eat."

"But ah...boy!"

Kaido's voice suddenly rose. "There's a certain kind of people who sit atop the towers of power. Even if food is left to rot, they'd rather not feed the people below! They even constantly plunder the living space of the lower classes to show off their superiority, and they take pleasure in it!"

"I heard... you want to be the king of the world? You did control me, but have you figured out how to control this ocean? Not everyone... is as easy to talk to as I am!"

Caesar looked at Kaido playfully: "Are you talking to me or to yourself?"

"Ahhhhhhhh…Who knows?"

Kaido's voice spread far and wide, rumbling through the clouds: "I have always believed in my own strength, but it is precisely because of this that I have come to realize... that this world cannot be changed by the power of one individual!"

"So... those pariahs who don't know what resistance is are also unworthy of redemption! As the strong, you should rule the weak with violence, unless you are stronger than everyone else and can rewrite this order with even greater power!"

"But in essence, this is also the domination of the strong over the weak! The strong prey on the weak... This is the iron law of this world, and the truth I believe in!"

"Sounds like a cliché story of a young dragon slayer becoming the dragon himself..."

Caesar twitched his lips and said, "So you've been hurt by the reality of this world, your lovely little darling?"

Kaido was silent for a moment, then suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter was unrestrained and deafening.

"Ah la la la la la! Just like you said, a true warrior dares to face the blood and bleak reality? So doesn't this fit the situation perfectly? The Hero and the Dragon!!"

"If you die, I will once again rule Wano Country with violence. Of course, I've learned from my previous mistakes and I'll make sure those guys have enough to eat!"

"After I die... who cares if there's a flood? Threatening me with something like that is meaningless."

Caesar sheathed his sword, made a gesture to draw it, and lowered his body slightly.

call--

It felt like a river was surging inside his body, scorching heat waves were spreading everywhere, and suddenly a blazing flame rose between the wings behind Caesar!

“Eh?! That’s…?!”

Quinn, who was watching the battle from a distance, had bulged out his eyes and glanced back and forth between Caesar and Jhin.

Jin was also incredulous: "That guy... can actually absorb bloodlines?"

Kaido was slightly startled: "Lunalia's flame?"

"But there's more to it than that..."

Caesar chuckled. At this moment, in his body, in addition to the blood of Lunalia and the ghost clan, another bloodline sprouted in the boiling blood!

The bloodline of the Bakanni clan, awaken!

At the same time, Caesar's black hair suddenly grew longer and his skin became paler.

Then a flash of scarlet suddenly spread out from under his feet and quickly rushed in all directions. The surrounding area of ​​hundreds of meters turned into a sea of ​​blood in an instant!
A thick blood mist filled the air, gathering into a scarlet ribbon that passed through Caesar's ribs and circled behind his neck!
"Fruit awakening?"

Kaido looked at Caesar below, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

The awakening of animal-type fruits is often accompanied by the risk of being possessed by the fruit's will.

He didn't care whether Caesar lived or died, but it would be a shame if a man who could fight him to this extent fell at the stage of awakening...

Finally, the figure below slowly raised his head. Under the messy hair, his red eyes were like a scarlet blood moon, flashing with a faint light.

Caesar's temperament looks a little feminine at this time, but the threat he brings to Kaido is real.

"Handsome, right?"

"Ahhhhh... Looks like there's no problem!"

Hearing that annoying tone that made people want to sew his mouth shut as always, Kaido's eyes suddenly burst into ecstasy, and his dragon head suddenly rose into the sky, and the flames on his body broke through the clouds!
"Shenglong!!"

Endless flames spread out in an instant, turning into a sea of ​​fire, rushing towards Caesar.

"Don't use such tricks to show off!"

The flames behind Caesar suddenly exploded, turning into several fire dragons that rushed into the sky and collided heavily with the sea of ​​fire!
boom--

The raging sea of ​​fire obscured the sky, separating the two for a short while.

At the same time, two extremely violent domineering auras suddenly burst out.

The black and red thunder exploded, and the domineering energy in Caesar's body was rapidly compressed and rubbed, gathering on the sword in his hand!

Until the fire dragon in the sky and the sea of ​​fire are completely destroyed...

"Flame Gossip!!!"

A huge dragon head fell from the sky, and a big pit suddenly appeared in the sea of ​​blood under Caesar, and a scarlet wave exploded violently!

With a loud bang, the tiny black figure drew a straight line and appeared in front of Kaido in the blink of an eye!

boom--

The sword edge collided with the dragon head in the air, and the violent friction of domineering aura was like a chainsaw cutting into a tree trunk, cutting Kaido's domineering aura bit by bit, and the high temperature and domineering aura on Kaido's body were also burning Caesar's body all the time.

creak...

Caesar gritted his teeth. Although Kaido's movements in the blue dragon form were clumsy, his strength was far beyond that of his human and beast forms.

In addition, he was hit from bottom to top, so the force he received was multiplied!
"Humph, what a sharp sword! If it weren't for the use of domineering power and the reserve, this sword would be enough to chop me down!"

Kaido stared at Caesar with his huge eyes: "Unfortunately... you don't have that chance!"

"That's not necessarily true..."

Caesar groaned, and from under the blade, another beam of Armament Haki suddenly burst out. The two Armament Haki sandwiched the Conqueror Haki in the middle like millstones, spinning and rubbing against each other madly!

The next moment, as the crowd in the distance watched in shock, the two figures locked in a stalemate in the sky suddenly crossed paths! It was like a silent scroll...

The giant dragon's head was raised high, and above its head, Caesar stretched out his wings and slowly put away his sword.

"Itto-ryu...climb the tower!"

In the silence, as the people in the distance stared in amazement, the dragon's body shrank rapidly, and the flames on its body gradually burned out. Scars deep enough to see the bone ran across the dragon's head, and blood spilled all over the sky!

boom--

The giant dragon fell with a loud bang, its mouth wide open, staring straight at the figure in the sky.

Slowly retreating back to human form, Kaido had a wound on his face that ran from his right brow bone across his left cheek. Fortunately, because the dragon head was too huge, the knife mainly hit the bridge of his nose and did not hurt his eyes.

"Ah la la la la la! You're amazing, kid..."

Using Armament Haki to adjust Conqueror Haki allows for more variations...

It sounds simple, but domineering power requires willpower to control. In practice, it is even more outrageous than practicing calligraphy with both hands and one foot at the same time!

A black figure fell from the sky, and Caesar felt weak. He looked down at the fallen Kaido. The sea of ​​blood around him turned back into mud, the red flames slowly dissipated, his hair and skin color returned to normal, and then he sat down on the ground.

"Mr. Kaido!"

Jin quickly flew to Kaido's side with a worried look on his face, and Quinn and his group also rushed over quickly.

Wiping the blood off his face, Kaido stood up and said, "I'm sorry, Jin... I accidentally lost. I guess I disappointed you."

"Where are you talking about?"

Jhin smiled faintly and glanced in Caesar's direction. "Those perverts inevitably have to grow through failure. Occasionally falling short is nothing."

Caesar's face darkened. "You can comfort people if you want. Why bring me into this?"

"Ahhhhhhh...pervert?"

Kaido looked at Caesar and said, "That's quite pertinent. You can obtain the blood of those rare species by sucking blood, right? It's even more exaggerated than that woman Lingling. No wonder you grow so fast!"

"Vampires, after all, have a bloodline factor that's also part of the blood system. Doesn't that make sense?"

As Caesar spoke, his surging vitality burst out, and the wounds on his body healed rapidly. In the blink of an eye, he was back to his peak state: "Still fighting?"

Kaido: "..."

Why do I look like a stupid person?

But it looks like this kid is on the verge of his limit and has to rely on the ability of the fruit to recover.

After fighting to this extent, Kaido has nothing to say.

Although his Haki was still quite full, and although that sword strike was still very clumsy and had no power after breaking through his attack, and although without relying on the power of the fruit to recover, Caesar's Haki had been completely drained by that outrageous sword strike, it was highly likely that he would not be his opponent...

But since the opponent was obviously going to use his strongest move, he had already lost the moment his attack was broken.

"You win, boy!"

Kaido twitched his lips and said, "Of course it's just this one fight!"

Caesar raised his eyebrows slightly: "Does my father-in-law agree to be my deputy?"

"dream…"

Kaido snorted coldly, I just lost a move, not my life!
"Most allies!"

"Okay, then I'll leave the Wano Country to my father-in-law."

Caesar patted his butt and stood up: "Maria will take charge of the political affairs for the time being. If you have any questions, feel free to call me."

"You kid..."

Hearing Caesar's words, Kaido glared and said, "You're still planning to take over Wano Country after leaving?"

"What? What kind of words are these?"

Caesar spread his hands, a matter-of-fact expression on his face: "Yamato is the general of Wano Country, we are just sailing legally! And even if we are allies, Yamato is your daughter. There is no denying that we are all family after all!"

"Ah, hahahaha... What a shameless boy! Is that what you're planning?"

"You slept with my daughter, took over my territory, and now you want me to look after your house! Who do you think I am, you bastard?"

Kaido suddenly laughed out of anger, and swung his mace to continue fighting. Maria, who was wiping his wounds at the side, hurriedly pulled him back, with helplessness on her face.

"This is no different than before, right?"

Caesar propped up his sword and looked at Kaido calmly: "Just tell me whether you want this military expenditure or not?"

Kaido's irritable voice paused: "That's not a reason for you to swallow my territory!"

"How about we all take a step back?"

Caesar thought of a compromise: "You help me take care of Wano Country first, but the management rights are with me. When Yamato becomes pregnant, the position of general will be handed over to our child. How about that?"

As soon as the words fell, the air was dead silent.

Kaido's eyes widened as he looked at Caesar in shock, his body trembling slightly.

"How can humans... be so shameless?!"

"Oh, we're a family!"

Caesar acted as if he really couldn't do anything to you: "Then I'll take a step back and have two children! One to inherit Wano Country, and one to inherit the Beasts Pirates, how about that?"

"roll!!"

Kaido stood up suddenly, swinging his mace with a whirring sound: "Get out of here! Get away from here! Don't let me see you again, you bastard!"

You are obviously very happy, right?

The corners of Jin's mouth twitched slightly. He felt that Kaido seemed to have changed a little, but he couldn't tell what the changes were.

"Alright, that's settled! I have something urgent to attend to. Bye everyone! See you soon!"

Caesar laughed, flapped his wings and flew high into the sky.

The big bear beside him opened his arms, and with a bang, he rushed into the sky like Iron Man.
