One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 94 Dr. Wolfe

Beihai, the neighboring town of Yanzidao.

Considering his previous experience in the Kingdom of Harald, Caesar did not enter the port in a ostentatious manner this time. Instead, he got off the boat in a low-key manner at a natural pier, and no one else followed Caesar.

There is no way around it. Although Law's surgery fruit ability consumes a lot of physical strength, it is still too threatening for people who have not mastered Haki. Even if they have mastered Haki, they may still be affected if they are not careful.

So this time, everyone except Caesar stayed on the boat.

Arriving at a small courtyard outside the town, Caesar rang the doorbell.

The doorbell rang, and soon a white-haired old man opened the door.

"Hello, who is..."

The moment he saw Caesar's face clearly, the old man opened his mouth in horror and his eyes widened!

"Suck...Vampire Caesar!"

"Forget about vampires..."

Caesar felt helpless and didn't know which navy gave him the nickname.

"It seems there's no need to introduce myself. It's our first meeting, Dr. Wolfe. Would you mind if I could come in and have a seat?"

“…Please come in.”

Wolfe stepped aside and carefully invited Caesar into the house. A strange-looking robot came in front of the two and made hot tea for them.

"I wonder why a big shot like you would come to see me?"

Wolfe's tone sounded a little weak: "But do you want me to do any research?"

"Let's get straight to the point. I'm here to look for someone."

Caesar said calmly, "Trafalgar Law, I'm sure you're familiar with him, right?"

"Are you after the Operation Fruit?"

When Wolfe heard that Caesar was looking for Luo, his expression suddenly changed.

Law's ability of the Operation Fruit had long been exposed to the world when he went out to sea with the other party. For a criminal with a huge bounty like Caesar, apart from the Operation Fruit, he really couldn't think of anything else that Law could do to him.

Caesar shook his head slightly. "You may not believe this, but I came here for his medical skills, and of course, his personal development potential."

"What's the purpose?"

A cold sweat broke out on Wolfe's forehead. He couldn't be sure whether what Caesar said was true or not.

If Caesar came for the surgery fruit, he would never let Caesar find Law, at least he would not reveal any information.

But if the other party really just came to invite Luo, then if he reacted too much, it would seem very sick...

"I plan to unify the world and overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons!" Caesar said with a serious expression.

Upon hearing this, Wolfe broke out in a cold sweat, and was about to surpass the Sweating King.

You have such great ambitions, I find it hard to believe that you have no thoughts about the Ope-no-no!
"Well... you might not know this, but Law's ideal isn't this. Compared to this kind of thing, the kid would rather be a pirate."

"I know…"

Caesar smiled slightly. "So I hope you can help me contact him and tell him... I can help him defeat Doflamingo, but the condition is... he has to board my ship."

"..."

To be honest, Wolfe refused.

But he thought about it and found that he seemed to have no choice.

"Why don't you give me a call and ask?"

Caesar folded his arms and looked at Wolfe leisurely.

"In that case... let me ask him for you."

Wolf took out his Den Den Mushi and called Law.

Bulu Bulu Ka——

"Grandpa Wolf!"

A very attractive voice came from the other end of the phone, and the first thing he said was that he was an ascetic handsome guy.

"Um... Luo, I have a guest here and hope to see you."

Wolfe spoke quickly, fearing he might accidentally reveal his whereabouts. "It's Mr. Jin Caesar, the man who offered a 2.8 billion bounty a while ago. He wants to invite you aboard his ship. As a token of good faith, he's willing to take action against Doflamingo."

"Kim Caesar?"

Luo's voice tightened noticeably: "Grandpa, please give him the phone!"

Caesar picked up the phone: "Moshimoshi~ Is this Trafalgar Law?"

"Is Grandpa okay?"

Luo's tone was a little nervous.

"Don't worry, I won't attack an old man no matter what."

Caesar laughed dumbly: "The reason I came to see Dr. Wolfe was just to contact you."

Luo's ship is called the Polar Diver, a yellow submarine, and its manufacturer is Dr. Wolfe, who is standing in front of Caesar. This is also the reason why Caesar found him.

Submarines are very difficult to track down as long as they are hidden intentionally. They are even harder to find than Liu Sauron.

But fortunately, Caesar had read Law's official biography, which was also narrated by an anime blogger. Because the plot was short, he finished watching it in one video.

The general plot is that after being freed, Luo fled to Swallow Island and used the surgery fruit to cut off the lead from his liver in a cave without anesthesia.

Then he fainted from the pain and was picked up by Dr. Wolfe and taken home to be taken care of. Later, he met the big white bear Babe on the island, as well as his two loyal brothers, Pekin and Xiaqi.

Afterwards, Dr. Wolfe's unfilial son committed evil and was defeated by Law. The few of them formally formed a pirate group. With the farewell of everyone in the town, they set out to sea on the Polar Submersible built by Dr. Wolfe.

This is roughly the plot. Swallow Island is relatively easy to find because it is a relatively prosperous place.

"I've heard of you...Kim Caesar."

Luo was silent for a moment: "What is your purpose in looking for me?"

"I want to invite you on my boat!"

Caesar said sincerely, "I'm not a pirate, but I'm sailing with the goal of overthrowing the Celestial Dragons. I'm currently in need of a ship's doctor, and to be honest, I'm very interested in you."

"You like the surgery fruit, right?"

Luo said indifferently, not believing what Caesar said.

"Strictly speaking, I'm attracted to you, who possesses the power of the Operation Fruit and was raised under the guidance of Rosinante and Dr. Wolf."

Caesar said cheerfully, "Although I'm short of manpower, I don't want just any scumbag."

"Do you know Rocinante?"

"Baby5 is my woman. Of course, I snatched her from Doflamingo."

"That annoying guy..."

Luo's tone sounded a little disgusted.

He and baby5 have known each other since childhood. He was trained by the Don Quixote family and taught various abilities such as combat and assassination.

At that time, he was still a little brat full of resentment who wanted to take revenge on the whole world.

"How about it? Wanna talk?"

Caesar said calmly, "If you're willing, I'll wait for you on Swallow Island. If you're not willing, I'll leave right away. Don't worry, I won't embarrass this old man."

Upon hearing this, there was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. "I can cooperate with you!"

"Excuse me, but you are not qualified to cooperate with me right now."

Caesar shook his head slightly. "The Operation Fruit is powerful, but it's not invincible. You should be well aware of this. You wouldn't be able to resist Doflamingo right now. Even if you were given a few more years, you wouldn't be his match."

"Can you beat him?" Luo asked.

"I can beat him to death..."

Caesar scoffed. "That guy isn't top-tier, and wouldn't even rank in the top five among the Imperial Corps officers. But with your talent and abilities, you'll definitely be able to defeat him in a dozen years. Even if you can't, you'll be able to outlast him, right?"

"You...you speak so harshly."

Luo was a little depressed, but Wolf was right next to Caesar. Although he was a little unhappy, he did not dare to offend Caesar easily.

"In that case, wait for me. I will rush back as quickly as possible, probably in about a week."

"it is good…"

After hanging up, Caesar handed the phone to Dr. Wolfe: "Thank you, Doctor."

"No...it's just a phone call."

Wolf looked at Caesar hesitantly: "You...really won't force that child?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations, and I won't force them."

Caesar shook his head. He already had a ship doctor named Zeus. Although his ability was not enough when he first went to sea, people would grow. At most, when he passed by the Drum Kingdom, he could abduct Chopper as well.

The reason why Caesar invited Law, in addition to his character and personality, was that what he valued most was the spatial ability of the Ope no Mi, which had quite practical strategic value.

In comparison, he thinks any anti-aging surgery is of no value at all.

Anti-aging surgery is not immortality surgery.

He himself is immortal, not to mention that there is pure gold in this world.

Judging from the state of the little girl in the Heart of Gold special, a grain of pure gold the size of a rice is enough to allow a person to live for tens of thousands of years easily!
There is pure gold the size of an ostrich egg in the belly of that big lantern fish!

"That's good…"

Wolfe sighed: "I hope you can do what you say."

"What kind of scientist is the doctor?" Caesar asked curiously.

"I'm doing mechanical research."

Wolfe puffed out his chest and said, "I'm an expert in this field! I built that kid Luo's submarine!"

"Where's Vegapunk?"

"That's incomparable... That guy ate the Brain-Brain Fruit. Whether it's thinking or calculation, it's beyond the reach of an ordinary person like me."

Wolfe snorted, seemingly unconvinced. "We occasionally have academic exchanges. His abilities... are indeed slightly better than mine, but he's a versatile talent with in-depth research in various fields."

Caesar smiled and said, "It seems that all of you scholars have contacts with each other?"

"Of course, nothing can be achieved by working in isolation. Only by verifying each other can we make continuous progress."

Speaking of scientific research, Wolfe suddenly became interested and said, shaking his head, "Although our Beihai is a bit chaotic, our technological level is definitely top-notch. Where is your hometown, young man?"

Caesar smiled and said, "I'm from Rogge Town in the East Sea."

"The place where it begins and ends..."

Wolfe looked at Caesar curiously, thinking that there must be some legend about this place.

"Compared to the North Sea, the technological level of the East Sea is much lower, but our environment is very good and the security level is also okay." Caesar said happily.

Don’t look at the original plot, where Luffy fought everyone from Buggy to Arlong, but they were all the top pirates in the East China Sea. There were only a few of them in the entire East China Sea, and they were all beaten by Luffy.

Under normal circumstances, the pirate level of the East China Sea is only a few million, which is the level of that fat woman Alrita.

Pirates of this caliber wouldn't dare sail along important shipping lanes, and could only roam in remote areas. (In the second chapter of the original manga, Luffy defeats Alrita from her base camp. Nami doesn't appear, just him and Coby. Alrita is truly miserable.)
"Speaking of which... Doctor, have you ever been to Sky Island?" Caesar asked with a smile.

"I've never been there, but I've heard of it."

Wolfe said, "I have a few friends who are doing research in this area. They live on a small island in the Grand Line and specialize in meteorological research."

"A bunch of little old guys dressed like wizards?"

"Oh? It looks like you've been there before?"

Wolf was very happy: "What a pity, I have never been to Sky Island. We met at a technology seminar invited by Vegapunk."

"Doctor, do you want to go to Sky Island and take a look?" The smile on Caesar's face became more and more obvious.

"When…uh?"

Wolfe was stunned for two seconds, then his eyes bulged out: "Huh? Are you even going to take advantage of me, an old man?!"

"The legendary Golden City is on Sky Island, and it also has quite advanced Bei technology. If we can get there, I guess any scale of scientific research can be realized, right?"

Caesar supported his chin with a look of longing.

Wolfe's heart was moved, without even a second of hesitation, his heart was moved!
Who in scientific research doesn't want sufficient funding? And then there's the Bei Technology Caesar mentioned, which sounds like a departure from the existing scientific and technological system.

How could he, a mechanic, resist such temptation?

Wolfe glared at him. "Are you serious? You're not saying this just to get Luo on board? I don't have many years left to live. If you lie to me, I'll really die in front of you!"

"There's no need to get so excited..."

Caesar laughed. "I do want to set up a research department, and I plan to invite Mr. Vegapunk along."

"Vegapunk..."

Wolf sighed softly, "I remember that he is now under the control of the World Government. He is not so easy to kidnap. At least he will not go with you voluntarily. He is a good guy. I hope you don't make it too difficult for him."

"Don't worry, I'm confident enough."

Caesar is confident and is just waiting for Punk Hazard to explode.

Whenever there was an explosion over there, he would fly directly to Egg Head Island and bring the people back without anyone noticing.

By the time the World Government comes to their senses, I'm afraid he'll have already sold all the Seraphim...

"Then it's settled! Doctor, you and Luo will board my ship together!"

"Who told you it was a deal?!"

Wolfe's face darkened. Although he was indeed tempted, he had not agreed yet!

Whether to follow or not depends on Luo's choice.

Over the years, he has treated Luo as his own child.

If Luo didn't join, he wouldn't leave with Caesar, so as not to make the other party worry.

Scientific research or something...

Although he is very tempted, he is already too old, and it would be best if there are conditions to support him in research and development, but he will not force it if there are no such conditions.

Caesar looked at Wolfe with a smile.

Recruiting Wolfe was another purpose for him to come here.

Caesar is going to form a scientific research team!
During this period, not to mention the Seraph, even the Pacifist was not created.

If only we could get it done earlier...

To be honest, Caesar wanted to build a Yamato Seraph first.
