One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 82 Fruit Distribution
"Well... there's no need to be so anxious."

Caesar waved his hand gently. "The treasure was left there by a friend of mine. He's been wanting it for a while now, so it's not a big deal. Let's start the party first."

"Having a party?"

Nami was stunned: "Didn't you just say that time is urgent?"

“It’s not really urgent.”

Caesar smiled shyly, looking embarrassed: "I'm just worried that you'll be too emotional to leave, so I thought I'd coax you onto the boat first, hehe..."

"Nani?!"

Nami's face darkened. "Is that the reason? I didn't even have time to say goodbye to everyone. I wanted to bring a Belle Mère orange tree on board! You bastard..."

Wow…

A stack of Skeleton Yogis was handed to Nami. The girl's eyes flashed, she snatched the bills, licked her thumb lightly with her little tongue, and counted the bills quickly.

"You're unexpectedly handsome! Captain~"

"Ah, what a realistic woman!"

Bonnie stared at Nami in amazement, unable to believe how quickly the woman's expression changed. "Have you never seen money?"

Nami casually stuffed the bills into her pocket and smiled smugly at Bonnie: "Hehe, for a little girl like you who can be satisfied with just a piece of candy, it's hard for me to describe to you the benefits of money~"

"What? You're so weak, yet so arrogant..."

Bonnie pouted, looking unhappy. "Caesar once said that wealth without strength is just like floating duckweed. Rather than wealth, people should focus more on improving their own strength."

Nami chuckled and said, "That's true, but my strength is definitely better than a little girl like you, right?"

"Not really."

Caesar said cheerfully, "Bonnie is the user of the Sui Sui Fruit. She can transform into her adult form at any time, and she has an excellent fighting talent. You are no match for her right now."

"Nani?"

Nami was shocked: "If that's the case, then I'm..."

Caesar nodded affirmatively: "The weakest on this ship."

"Eh?!"

Nami couldn't accept it for a moment. Although she was very self-aware, it was a bit too depressing that she couldn't even compare to a child.

She glanced over the few people.

Bartolomeo…

Just look at that ferocious look and you will know that he is not someone to be trifled with.

Big bear…

Just looking at his size, you can tell how powerful he is!
As for the other three girls...

Nami cast a questioning look at Caesar.

Caesar understood Nami's gaze and explained, "Right now, besides me, the strongest person on this ship is Yamato."

Nami was shocked. She looked at the big bear that was as big as a hill and said, "What? It's not a big bear?"

"Their strength is actually about the same, but Yamato has some talents that Kuma doesn't have. You will find out later that Yamato is very powerful."

Caesar smiled and said, "Third place is undoubtedly Big Bear, followed by Baby5 and Robin. They both already have the initial qualifications to venture into the New World."

Baby5 and Robin are of similar strength, but Baby5's weapon fruit is more advantageous.

But putting aside the ability of the fruit, the two people's progress in practicing domineering is basically the same.

Baby5 has initially mastered the armament Haki, although it is still sometimes effective and sometimes not. Robin has initially awakened the observation Haki, and is not very proficient, but has finally gotten started.

"Next up are Barto and Bonnie. By the way, although Barto's strength isn't that strong, his defense is so strong that even I might not be able to break it."

"Hey, what's the point? My duty is to protect Mr. Caesar and his ladies..."

Hearing Caesar's praise, Barto blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Wait, this isn't fair. You're all capable people, I'm definitely no match for you!"

Nami was speechless for a moment: "What kind of monsters are you guys? You all have eaten something legendary like a devil fruit!"

"Don't worry, I will find you a powerful fruit. However, whether it is top-level or not depends on your efforts."

Caesar's tone was playful, and Nami nervously grasped her collar when she heard it.

"What do you mean?"

"How rude..."

Caesar sighed and said, "I know a few fruits that are very suitable for your ability as a navigator. They are the nature-type Thunder Fruit, the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, and the mythical beast-type Blue Dragon Fruit."

"The Thunder Fruit can transform into lightning, the Cloud Fruit can transform into clouds, and the Blue Dragon Fruit can control the weather."

"The strongest of these fruits are naturally the Thunder and Azure Dragon. However, with your current strength, even if you eat these two fruits, you won't be able to unleash their full power. Therefore, the most suitable fruit for you at this stage is the Cloud Fruit. However, the Cloud Fruit is the only one of these three whose whereabouts I don't know."

"Nature type, mythical beast?" Nami looked puzzled.

"Devil Fruits can be divided into three types: Parahuman, Zoanthic, and Natural. Zoanthic is further divided into Common, Ancient, and Mythical. The most precious of these are naturally Mythical and Natural."

Caesar briefly described the categories of devil fruits.

"So what type of fruits do everyone have?" Nami asked curiously.

Caesar: "Yamato and I are mythical beasts, and the others are parahumans."

"Then, as a newbie like me... wouldn't that be a problem? Natural studies are too expensive, right?"

Nami waved her hands repeatedly. Although she was greedy for money, she still had her limits.

"Don't think too much. Each person can only eat one devil fruit. Except for Barto's ability, which I chose for him, the others all ate fruits when they were young, and they all have very high-quality abilities. Kuma's fruit ability is top-notch."

Caesar said seriously, "But I hope you can think carefully. The Thunder Fruit is known as the strongest nature-type fruit. Although both are nature-type fruits, they are completely different from the Cloud-Cloud Fruit. If you want to obtain this fruit, you need to undergo extremely rigorous training."

Nami laughed awkwardly: "Well...I'm a non-combatant!"

"Is that so?"

Caesar nodded: "That's a shame, this fruit would fetch billions if it were auctioned!"

Nami's smile froze when she heard that.

Caesar said, and sighed again: "And if you eat the Thunder Fruit, even if your friends are not around in the future, you don't have to worry about guys like Arlong. I thought you would be very tempted."

"you…"

Nami's expression changed, obviously touched by these words.

Caesar looked at Nami with a half-smile: "Why don't you reconsider it?"

"Ahhh, I know!"

Nami looked helpless: "But I'm just an ordinary person, don't expect me to be a monster like you..."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your talents may far exceed your imagination."

Caesar said cheerfully, "If he is trained properly, and with the help of the Thunder Fruit, even if he can't become a top-tier warrior, he probably won't be much weaker than Big Bear."

At least Caesar felt there was no problem. In the original story, Ricky was all soft flesh, but after two years of training with two hundred times the effort, he could smash the tyrannical king's hand with a single punch.

Nami's physical fitness is definitely better than Coby's when he first appeared, right?

After all, he is a member of the protagonist group. Even if his talent is not as good as Coby's, it can't be too different, right?
In terms of time, it was only 1517 after the Chinese New Year, and there were more than three years before the main storyline began, so there was plenty of time.

With him as a vampire, there is no need to worry about getting injured.

As long as Nami can calm down and practice, with the help of the Thunder Fruit, even if she can't reach the level of the Three Calamities in three years, she will definitely be stronger than the Flying Six.

"By the way, Caesar..."

Yamato tilted his head. "What was that Blue Dragon Fruit you just mentioned? Are we going to take my father's fruit?"

"No, the fruit can only be taken after the user dies."

Caesar shook his head. "But I have the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit that Vegapunk researched. It has exactly the same abilities as the Blue Dragon Fruit, except it can't awaken and its color is different."

"Artificial fruit?"

Robin was surprised: "You can even do something like this?"

"Um…"

Caesar looked at the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit in the system.

【Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit*100/100】

"Fuck!"

Noticing the number at the end, Caesar's eyes widened.

"what happened?"

Everyone looked at Caesar.

Yamato tilted his head. "What the…? What do you mean?"

"Nothing, just expressing shock."

Caesar rubbed his temples, calmed down a little, and then he figured out what was going on.

The artificial Blue Dragon Fruit does not have demonic consciousness and therefore does not have the ability to awaken.

But it is precisely because they have no independent consciousness that artificial fruits can be copied by the system!

This means that he can easily create an army of artificial fruits.

"The artificial Azure Dragon Fruit can also enhance physical strength and possess the power to control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. Relatively speaking, it's not as specialized as a single elemental fruit, but its power and value are definitely higher than the Cloud-Cloud Fruit. However, considering the Thunder Fruit, it's only a backup for now."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's start the party first!"

As Caesar spoke, he waved his hand and a blood-red curtain floated by. In front of everyone, a huge picnic blanket appeared, and the picnic blanket was filled with all kinds of delicious food.

"Oh!!!"

Bonnie and Yamato cheered, kicked off their shoes and threw themselves onto the picnic blanket.

Baby5 and Robin sat on Caesar's left and right.

"It's amazing, where did this come from?"

Nami sat down next to Robin, picked up a piece of fish roe warship, and marveled at it.

"Just think of it as a devil fruit ability."

Robin poured drinks for everyone, then opened a barrel and handed it to Big Bear: "Please have some."

"Thank you."

Big Bear thanked him and held the one-meter-high barrel in his hand, like an inconspicuous whiskey glass.

Seeing that everyone had filled their glasses, Caesar raised his glass: "Well... welcome Nami! Cheers!"

"cheers!!!"

Everyone cheered, and Nami also smiled and laughed out loud.

As soon as you get on board, you will be given a natural devil fruit, and there will be top-level experts to guide your training. Where can you find such a good thing?
Although she said that she was just an ordinary person, didn't she really want to become stronger?
She never wants to experience what happened to Aaron again in her life.

"By the way, Caesar..."

Thinking of Arlong, Nami suddenly turned to look at Caesar: "Is that Arlong guy dead?"

"No."

Caesar shook his head: "But except for Aaron and a few cadres, the other fishmen are basically dead. Aaron has also been sent to Impelton. You still have a chance to kill that guy."

"It's no different than having nothing. In a place like Impelton, once you're in, there's basically no way out."

Seeing Nami's confusion, Robin explained, "That's the World Government's underwater prison. There are many pirates there with bounties of hundreds of millions, or even billions. In the past few hundred years, only the great pirate Golden Lion, who once rivaled Gol D. Roger, has managed to escape."

"That guy cut off his own legs and escaped using the power of the Float-Float Fruit."

Caesar added: "But if you want revenge, Nami, I can take you to Impelton. With Big Bear and I here, you can even use it as a resort."

"Who wants to go on vacation to a place like that?"

Nami was speechless for a moment: "I... still have a chance."

Seeing that Nami was a little depressed, Caesar didn't mention Aaron anymore. After all, with his strength, it was just a matter of one sword.

The party lasted until the evening, until the sun completely set. Bonnie yawned, and everyone dispersed.

Baby5 held Caesar's hand, looking a little drunk, but her tone was very doting: "Dear, go back to your room and sleep first, I'll clean up here."

"No, leave it to me."

A flash of darkness spread out from under Caesar's feet, instantly engulfing the devastated battlefield.

"Wow! You're amazing, honey!"

Baby5 pounced on Caesar and kissed him on the face.

Nami tugged at Caesar's sleeve and said, "Wait, don't rush to get intimate. Let me ask you, where do I live?"

Caesar rolled his eyes at Nami and said, "Of course I'm going to live in the girls' dormitory with Bonnie! Do you want to live with me?"

"Who wants to live with you?!"

Nami's face darkened. Robin covered his mouth and laughed. He picked up Bonnie who was dozing off. "I'll take you there, Nami."

"Oh yes!"

Caesar called out to Nami, "Starting tomorrow morning at 7:00, you, Barto, Robin, and Baby5, all must be on deck to begin training!"

"Eh?!!"

I'm about 300 words short. It's Mother's Day and I was busy during the day. I'm so sorry! I started typing like crazy as soon as I got back, but I'm still a little short...
