One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 93: A Smile on the Boat

boom--

The terrifying explosion swept across in an instant. The powerful impact caused the already broken earth to crack again, and countless trees were broken in half by the impact!
"Protective barrier!"

Barto flashed in front of everyone, and a transparent green barrier blocked their way. The terrifying explosion that swept everything was unable to shake the barrier at all!
Ace looked at the barrier in front of him in surprise: "Oh! Amazing! Can it block such power?"

"Hey, haha, let alone the shock wave, even the meteorite just now can be blocked by my barrier intact!"

Barto looked very proud: "After all, I am Mr. Caesar's most solid shield!"

Rumble…

The terrifying aftermath of the explosion spread, filling the field with smoke and dust.

After a while, as the smoke and dust cleared, everyone could see the two people in the field clearly.

At this moment, Yixiao was dressed in tattered clothes, half-kneeling on the ground with a knife in his hand, but there were no obvious injuries on his body.

Caesar, on the other hand, appeared to be intact, possessing the ability to absorb energy and transform into elements. This kind of impact attack could not pose any threat to him at all.

"Feel sorry…"

Caesar apologized, "I didn't expect this move to explode."

This trick he used was based on the Earth-shattering Star in the neighboring village, which created a mini black hole with strong gravity.

Of course, like himself, they are not real black holes, but just moves with the characteristics of black holes, and their manifestation is similar to Chibaku Tensei.

However, because it is closer to the principle of a black hole, the attracted matter will be crushed and compressed in the force field, and a huge explosion will occur after it is broken. The power of the explosion is also quite considerable. After this wave of explosion, the entire coastline has become a wilderness with no grass.

"It doesn't matter..."

Yixiao let out a long sigh, slowly stood up, and sheathed his sword: "With such power, it's no wonder that you have the ambition and courage to unify the sea."

"But one person cannot accomplish such a feat."

Caesar said sternly, "I don't consider myself a bad person, but I'm definitely not a good person either. To be honest, I value your kindness and patience towards the weak more than your strength, which is a quality I lack."

"Kindness? Patience?"

Yixiao chuckled and said, "It's hard to imagine such words coming from the mouth of such an ambitious person like you."

"Conquest requires violence, but ruling requires benevolence. If we only look at strength, my father-in-law is Kaido. No one in this sea can withstand the siege of the two of us."

Caesar shook his head slightly. "But what I want is unification and peace in the world, not unbridled power and violence."

“This insight is truly surprising…”

Yixiao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Caesar to say that.

He originally thought that the other party was impressed by his strength. As for chivalry and righteousness... which ambitious person would care about these things?
In Caesar's feedback from his observation Haki, there was no sign of nervousness or deception. It was obvious that the other party's words were completely sincere.

“It’s not an opinion, but the inevitable evolution of political structures in the course of historical change.”

Caesar said seriously, "So...what do you think?"

"What if I refuse?" Yixiao asked curiously.

"You won't refuse." Caesar shook his head.

"Oh?"

Yixiao was puzzled: "Why do you say that?"

"Because the ocean is vast and holds all rivers, it is impossible to realize lofty ideals with the strength of one person alone."

Caesar puffed out his chest and patted it: "And I happen to be an excellent leader and partner with excellent character and academic performance, upright values, wise and brave, and both moral integrity and talent!"

Yixiao fell silent.

After a long time, there was a puff sound.

He twisted his mouth and laughed out loud.

"Your Excellency, even after saying such words, showed no emotion at all."

"Of course! I sincerely feel that way!"

“Hehe…hahaha!”

When he smiles, his mouth opens wide, and a man in his forties or fifties laughs like a child.

After a while, he stopped smiling, and his blind eyes opened slightly, his pale and lifeless eyes looking towards Caesar.

"Since you've said so, I'll accompany you. But let me be frank: if you ever betray your original intention, or go against my righteous path, I will leave without hesitation!"

"A word is settled!"

Caesar laughed heartily, and with a wave of his hand, a blood mist rolled up, enveloping his smile.

"This is…"

Realizing that his observation Haki was not working, Yixiao's expression changed slightly.

"Please don't resist."

As Caesar finished speaking, a blood mist flowed into Yixiao's body through his mouth and nose. The vigorous vitality surged, causing Yixiao to frown slightly.

He could feel that as the smell of blood surged into his body, he inevitably developed a fanatical admiration for Caesar. Although it did not affect him, he thought this method of controlling others was really dangerous.

But as the blood mist poured in, a ray of light suddenly pierced through the void in front of his eyes, and then, amid the burning pain, his pale eyes gradually showed a hint of color.

The scarlet eyes were stimulated by the sunlight in the sky and kept shedding tears, but they quickly recovered under the surging vitality, until they completely adapted to the sunlight. The red in the pupils slowly dissipated and turned into a deep black.

“It’s… incredible!”

As the power that influenced his will dissipated from his body, Yixiao's eyes widened in surprise.

"I heard that you chose to close your eyes because you didn't want to witness the evil in this world?"

The young man in front of me smiled, made a beautiful knife flower, and the blade fell into the sheath smoothly.

"Since you don't want to witness evil, then just destroy them all. Why gouge out your own eyes? You know, even the Buddha has the wrathful eyes of a vajra. If you don't clear your eyes, how can you clear out those bugs in the darkness?"

"That makes sense..."

His eyes lit up slightly with a smile, and after a brief silence, he nodded solemnly: "Since you have given me light again, I will use these eyes to help you cleanse the sins and filth!"

"Haha, that's settled then!" Caesar laughed.

Join with a smile and the lineup is complete!

Caesar can be sure that when it comes to high-end combat power, no royal group can be their opponent at present!
After another year or two, when the core forces like Ace have grown up, he will dare to challenge even the Marine Headquarters. It may be difficult for him to win, but he will definitely have no problem escaping unscathed.

Back on the boat, the ship left the harbor, and everyone looked at Yixiao, the new companion, with curiosity.

Compared with the average age on the boat, Yixiao is obviously older. Even compared to Daxiong, he is seven or eight years older.

Caesar put one hand on his waist and smiled, introducing everyone: "Introducing our new partner! Mr. Yixiao!"

"Just make me smile, Captain."

He smiled and said kindly, "I am Xiao. It's our first meeting. Please take care of me."

"Oh~ It's actually an uncle! I thought Caesar would find another beautiful sister."

Bonnie looked at it curiously and smiled: "Wasn't that the meteorite just now thrown by the uncle?"

"Yes, one piece was lost by me, uncle, and the other piece was lost by the captain."

Yixiao's tone was gentle. He didn't expect that there would be such a young child on the boat, but it was not uncommon.

Many ships, including pirates, have interns trained by themselves, and this is also common in organizations like the Revolutionary Navy.

"Yixiao is the user of the Juju Fruit, which allows him to control the degree and direction of gravity in a certain area."

Caesar introduced: "And I relied on the powerful gravity of the Dark-Dark Fruit to pull the meteorite down."

"What an exaggeration."

Big Bear looked surprised. "Have you improved your observation Haki again? You can even capture meteorites in space?"

“My Observation Haki is mostly active, so of course my progress is fast,” Caesar explained. “Also, releasing Observation Haki in a specific direction can greatly increase the range of my perception. I came up with this idea through Ryuo. Since Armament Haki can flow, it makes sense that Observation Haki can flow as well, right?”

"..."

Big Bear was silent for a while.

The truth is this.

However, unlike the armament Haki that can be materialized, observation Haki is more of an intuition. How can we make it flow?

Big Bear felt that Caesar's talent was a bit unfair.

"It seems I should practice for a while."

Big Bear thought about it and said that his talent was definitely not bad, and he had a very clear understanding of this about himself.

He had never practiced seriously since he was a child. Whether it was fruit development or dual-color domineering, he mastered them quickly based on his talent, and had never properly explored the potential of his body.

Now with Yixiao joining, there are more and more high-end combat forces on the ship, and he cannot let anyone fall behind.

Caesar's observation Haki caught Big Bear's thoughts, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He was very happy that the other party had this awareness.

With the powerful physique of the Big Bear's Bakanni tribe, if their potential can be fully tapped, even without the Conqueror's Haki, they will be able to fight a strong man of the level of the Emperor in a 40-60 draw.

Plus the ability of the Meatball Fruit...

A tank with the mobility of an assassin!

"By the way, Yixiao is the second greatest swordsman on the ship besides me. His sword is the Gokudo Fire Wire, one of the Twelve Supreme Swords! Just like my Liuying, it was made by a master craftsman from Wano Country."

Caesar continued his introduction.

"That must be worth a lot, right?"

Nami stared at the staff knife in Yixiao's hand.

"This sword was given to me by a friend. In my eyes, it is a priceless treasure."

Noticing Nami's eyes, he smiled and silently clenched the staff sword in his hand.

"Hahaha, just asking..."

Seeing the other party's wary look, Nami smiled awkwardly.

Caesar casually threw out a bundle of bamboo swords and said, "From now on, the training on the ship will be jointly managed by Daxiong and Yixiao. Daxiong will be responsible for physical training, and Yixiao will be responsible for swordsmanship."

"Huh? Do you have to practice swordsmanship too?" Nami asked in surprise.

"Of course, I don't need to be an expert, but I have to know a little bit." Caesar nodded.

“Should I learn too?”

Bonnie looked at Caesar pitifully: "I am a person with special abilities! I need to use my hands to release my abilities!"

"Then you should learn it even more."

Caesar said sinisterly, "If you don't learn the way of the sword well, what if you meet a powerful swordsman in the future and someone cuts off your hand?"

"Alas--"

The little girl shuddered and huddled in the big bear's arms.

In the following time, everyone introduced themselves one by one. After listening to everyone's introduction, he looked at Caesar with an incredible smile.

"Except for Miss Nami, are all of us on this ship users with special abilities?"

"Yes, that's right. Nami will also have the appropriate abilities in the future."

Caesar nodded. "As for shipwrecks, there's no need to worry in the short term. Nothing in the first half of the Grand Line can sink our ship. Even if it does, I have a way to fix it. When we reach Fishman Island, I plan to recruit a few more mermaids aboard."

"Red bean paste?!!"

Barto, Ace, and Deus all looked at Caesar, their eyes filled with excitement.

Nami looked at Caesar suspiciously, "I take it you want a mermaid girlfriend?"

"So what if it is?"

Caesar spread his hands innocently, turned around and looked at Yamato, Baby5, and Robin: "Do you want more mermaid sisters?"

Yamato raised his right hand with a cheerful look on his face: "I think - I haven't seen a mermaid yet!"

"As long as my dear likes it~"

Baby5 smiled and said, "Even if you're a demon, I'll get you into bed!"

"Already in bed."

Robin thought calmly, "But... I'm also curious about how mermaids reproduce."

Caesar looked at Nami proudly: "Did you hear that?"

Nami: "..."

Seeing the reactions of the three women, he smiled and then fell silent. He had noticed when he introduced himself just now that this young captain actually had three girlfriends!

Although he had seen some romantic people before, this was the first time he had seen someone who could coordinate relationships so well like Caesar...

By the way, is this guy really aiming to overthrow the Celestial Dragons?

"Okay, let's have a party to welcome Yixiao!"

"Oh!!!"

Amid the cheers of the crowd, a blood-red curtain flashed by, and portions of delicious food appeared in front of everyone.

"Is there anything Yixiao likes to eat?" Caesar asked.

He smiled and nodded gently: "I prefer soba noodles..."

"There are some!"

Caesar snapped his fingers, and a bowl of soba noodles and a large bowl of soup appeared out of thin air in front of Yixiao.

"Oh--"

Yixiao looked at the soba noodles in front of him in surprise. Even with his observation Haki, he couldn't even notice how these noodles appeared.

He looked at Caesar curiously and asked, "Excuse me, but what are the captain's abilities? Would you mind telling me?"

"It's not inconvenient at all. Due to some special reasons, I can eat more than one devil fruit. I'm a dual-fruit ability user, with the abilities of the Vampire Fruit and the Dark-Dark Fruit." Caesar said happily.

"Incredible... This is the first time I've seen someone eat two fruits."

Yixiao showed surprise on his face. Having two fruits was something he had never heard of.

One fantasy beast and one nature type, this configuration is top-notch!

Although the strength of Haki plays a large role in the battle between top-level warriors, the two devil fruits can make up for the difference in Haki to a large extent.

Not to mention that from the fight just now, Caesar's dominance and swordsmanship are at the top level in this ocean!

No wonder they are so confident in overthrowing the rule of the Celestial Dragons...

"So are we going to enter the new world next?"

"No, there's still one member missing, and that person is also in the North Sea."

"I wonder what kind of powerful person he is?"

"A pirate...Trafalgar Law!"

(PS: There is no charge for adding after this paragraph!

In the latest episode of One Piece, there is the ability to restrain the immortality of the Knights of God! I am afraid of being backstabbed, so I dare not write about the plot of the Five Elders, hahahaha...

Also, the cover of this book has been reported, damn, I’m changing it!)
