One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 96 Entering the New World

"Grandpa Wolf!"

After passing through the underground secret harbor, Luo arrived at the backyard of Wolfe's house. After confirming that there was no one else there, he appeared in front of Wolfe.

Behind him was a large white fur tribe bear and two men wearing white overalls and hats with brims covering their faces.

"Oh, it's Luo!"

Wolfe looked surprised when he saw them. “Didn’t you say it would take another week to get here?”

"Just to steady him first."

Seeing that Wolfe didn't look like he was hurt, Luo Yan said simply, "That guy didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

"That's not the case. Brother Caesar is not a pirate, and he's quite easy to talk to."

Hearing Luo's concerned tone, Wolfe felt a warm feeling in his heart and laughed.

"He also wanted to invite me to do research there, and the conditions he offered were very attractive. I was thinking of waiting for you to come back before making any plans, but I didn't expect you to act so quickly."

"Not a pirate?"

Luo frowned, "Then what is he?"

Dr. Wolfe thought for a moment. "Um... explorers? Or maybe guys like the Revolutionary Army?"

"Strictly speaking, it should be His Majesty the Emperor, who will inevitably unify the ocean in the future."

A strange voice suddenly sounded, Luo's pupils shrank, and he turned his head sharply to look towards the window.

There, a young man who looked no more than eighteen or nineteen years old was leaning on the windowsill with his arms folded, looking at the few people leisurely.

"Wow! When did this guy come in?"

Behind Luo, a furry white bear-fur tribe member screamed in fear, and the other two also had horror on their faces.

They had clearly confirmed that there was no one else in the room when they entered, so no one knew where this guy came from.

Luo looked at the other person solemnly: "Jin Caesar."

"Excuse me for interrupting."

Caesar drew a circle with his right hand and stretched it outwards with an elegant and graceful posture.

"Nice to meet you, everyone."

"Have you been monitoring this place?" Luo asked warily.

"Strictly speaking, it should be perception. My perception ability can easily cover the entire island."

"Seeing and hearing the domineering power?"

Luo's mind moved. He had been in the Don Quixote family before, so he naturally knew the existence of domineering.

The North Sea is not as stable as the East Sea. It is separated from the New World by only a doldrums. Although domineering is not as common as in the New World, it is not a very secretive thing.

It was because Doflamingo awakened his Conqueror's Haki that he was noticed by Trebol and others and was supported as the young master.

"It seems you know it."

Caesar smiled slightly and said, "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Luo's mouth curled up slightly: "There is no free lunch in the world."

"One condition, do something for me."

Caesar invited, "I can even train you to become stronger, so strong that you can take Doflamingo's head yourself."

"You have to let me see your strength, right?" Luo Momo pressed the hilt of the knife, ready to strike.

As expected, the bigger the fist, the more powerful it is...

Caesar shook his head and laughed, then beckoned to the other party: "Please."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Suddenly, Luo raised his right thumb, index finger and middle finger at the same time, and a colorless field was released with him as the center, instantly covering the entire yard.

"ROOM! Scalpel!"

An invisible force field enveloped Caesar, and a layer of armed color domineering instantly covered Caesar's chest, isolating the invisible force that tried to take out his heart.

The next second, there was a rustling sound.

The flowerpot on the windowsill to his right suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by Luo who was already ready to go, and the flowerpot appeared on the sofa where Luo had been sitting before.

The sharp blade suddenly swung towards Caesar's neck, but a slender hand had already been waiting in the path of the long blade.

Clang——

Caesar casually clamped the blade, and in front of Luo's shocked gaze, he took the knife and hit the other party in the cheek with his elbow.

With a huge force hitting his face, Luo flew backwards in a mess and slid in front of the big white bear.

"Captain! Are you okay?"

The big white bear stood up with an exclamation, then stared at Luo blankly, and suddenly lowered his head: "Private Marseille!"

Luo: "..."

"A demon sword?"

Playing with the long sword in his hand, Caesar compared its length with the Shadow sword at his waist. The two swords were of similar length, and the Shadow sword felt lighter in his hand.

As for the grade, even without collecting Caesar, one can feel that the level of a good sword is not up to the level of a big sword.

He is now also a great swordsman, and he has sword-forging skills, so he has some identification ability.

The blade is long and narrow, and light. It is also a magical sword. The forger's purpose is very clear... This sword was forged for pure killing.

Although the sword itself is a weapon, for most blacksmiths, sword forging is more like an art, mostly for pleasing themselves or as a gift to friends. Swords like this one that are specifically forged for killing are still rare among famous swords.

"scanning!"

sieve!
The long sword in Caesar's hand appeared out of thin air in Luo's hand.

"As expected of a 2.8 billion bounty, he's truly powerful."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Law twitched his lips and said, "You fought Doflamingo before, right? A draw?"

Caesar shook his head regretfully: "No, I just broke his fingers and he got scared. That guy is very sensible."

"If I board your ship, how long will it take to finish him off?"

"That guy is still of some use to me. The earliest I can use him is until the autumn harvest of Wano Country this year."

Caesar said calmly, "As for what happens after that, whether I train you to kill him yourself or I personally beat him half to a pulp and send him to you, that's fine."

Luo was somewhat tempted, but he hesitated when he glanced at his companions beside him.

Although he is eager to kill Doflamingo and avenge Rosinante, he is not alone and has partners who trust him.

"Are you worried about your companions?"

Caesar, sensing his opponent's thoughts with his Observation Haki, suggested, "You can bring them with you to join my army. Once we establish a base on the Grand Line, I'll take them there. However, you'll have to give up your identity as a pirate."

Luo hesitated for a moment and turned to look at the three people behind him.

"Baby, Pekin, Xiaqi..."

"I must follow the captain!" said the big white bear Baby without hesitation.

"It's the same with us!" Pei Jin and Xia Qi said in unison.

Luo smiled softly, then turned to look at Caesar: "I promise you, but I need to discuss it with the others, and PayPal must come on board with me."

"can!"

Caesar nodded. The big white bear was still very cute and could be a lifeguard. Besides, he was in need of the Fur Tribe bloodline.

"What about us, Captain?" asked Peikin anxiously.

"You stay in Beihai and wait for me first."

Luo said seriously, "I will come to pick you up in a while. In the meantime, Pei Jin, Xia Qi, I hope you can lead everyone well."

Seeing this, Caesar turned to look at Dr. Wolfe beside him. "Do you have any ideas, Doctor? What do you think? Do you want to join us and move forward into new areas, or stay here and enjoy your retirement?"

"Stop looking down on people!"

Wolfe snorted, "I'm not old yet!"

"In that case... my ship is docked on the west coast, so you'd better hurry up."

Caesar nodded slightly, and his body turned into a bloody mist and quietly dissipated.

The three of them didn't keep Caesar waiting too long. They had packed everything up early the next morning.

Law, Bebop, and Dr. Wolf were standing on the shore, surrounded by the former members of the Heart Pirates, who were saying goodbye to them.

Caesar leaned on the railing and counted them. There were about a dozen people, not even the twenty people in the original book.

"Captain, take care!" "Remember to think of us!"

"Grandpa Wolf, take care of yourself!"

"Woooooooo..."

Xia Qi and Pei Jin wiped their tears and said, "I'm so sorry to leave you, Captain!"

"Just going out for a while."

Luo said helplessly, "You all should take care of yourselves and keep a low profile for the time being. You don't have a bounty on you, so you won't be noticed by the navy. Just stay here for the time being."

"Got it! Take care, Captain!"

"Well, let's go."

wow——

With the anchor raised and the sails lowered, the ship slowly sailed towards the place where the sea and the sky meet.

After calibrating the course, everyone gathered around and looked at the three newcomers curiously.

Caesar introduced them one by one: "Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law, this is Dr. Wolfe, and this is Babel."

"first meet."

Luo carried Guiku on his shoulders and nodded slightly to everyone with a slightly cold expression.

"Oh? Is this your crew?"

Wolfe stood with his hands behind his back, his figure slightly hunched. "Nice to meet you all. I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

Babao lowered his head: "Private Marseille!"

“What are you apologizing for…” ×N
"Oh...it's been a long time, Luo."

Baby5 crossed his arms, looking somewhat overbearing. "I never thought you'd actually join my dear's group. Warning you, if you dare attack your companions, you'll be dead!"

Hearing this, Luo glanced at baby5 coldly, then turned his head expressionlessly: "Tsk..."

"Huh? What's that attitude like that, asshole!"

Seeing Luo's indifferent attitude, baby5's face turned dark.

Although I was scared to tears by you when I was a child, I am not the same person now, you bastard!

"Attack your companions?"

Nami silently protected Caesar in front of her, with a hint of hostility in her eyes: "Come to think of it, this guy was a pirate before, right?"

"What happened to the pirates?"

Ace pointed at himself and said, "I used to be a pirate too!"

Nami nodded: "Yes, yes, the pirate who got into trouble just after going out to sea..."

"Forehead…"

Ace's face turned red, and he was speechless for a moment. He muttered something about not having enough time to find his companions, the storm came too suddenly, how could the pirates' affairs be called a disaster... This made everyone laugh.

"You have misunderstood."

Wolfe cheerfully explained, "Although Law is a pirate, he has never done anything bad."

Nami was suddenly surprised: "Hey? What kind of pirate is that?"

"Nothing wrong!"

Ace agreed: "Pirates are pirates, bad guys are bad guys, these are two different things!"

Deuce was speechless: "Pirates are bad guys, right?"

Ace quickly retorted, "No! If I'm just looking for treasure, I'm not a bad person, right?"

Caesar rolled his eyes. "If you're just looking for treasure, you should be called an explorer. If you don't plunder, what kind of pirate is that? A pirate is a thief at sea. Are you a thief or a robber?"

"Forehead--"

Ace was once again at a loss for words, racking his brains but unable to come up with any rebuttal.

"Hashibean..."

Baby5 pointed at Luo and said, "I know this guy. When I first met him, he was only thinking about revenge on the world..."

"Okay, Miss Maid~"

Caesar raised his hand and touched baby5's little head: "People will change."

“Hi~~”

Baby5 immediately cupped her hands to her heart and looked at Caesar with love almost overflowing in her eyes.

Luo glanced at her and said, "This stupid woman hasn't changed at all."

"What did you say!"

Baby5 turned his head suddenly, his face full of ferocity.

Beibao stared at baby5 blankly: "What a terrible woman!"

Baby5: “Huh?!!”

“Private Marseille…”

PayPal admitted its mistake.

"Hahaha, you're so cute!"

Yamato raised his hand and touched Beibao's furry head: "Speaking of which, are you a fur tribe?"

"Hey, that's right."

PayPal nodded obediently.

"I found PayPal on the island. Do you know where his hometown is?"

Luo asked, his tone was much softer than when he was facing baby5.

"The Fur Tribe's homeland is in the New World, and it can only be reached with a Life Card. Therefore, many Fur Tribe members can never return after leaving their homeland."

Caesar explained: "Fortunately, the elephant's range of movement is not far from Wano Country. I can take you there later."

"A country on the back of a giant elephant..." Deus said with longing.

Bonnie was very curious: "How do the people up there eat and drink?"

"Keep it a secret, you'll know when the time comes!"

Caesar raised his hand and scratched the tip of Bonnie's nose, then turned to look at Law. "Your position will be the ship's doctor. You can talk to Deuce later. He's the user of the Sickness-Sickness Fruit and a medical student."

Deuce waved and grinned, and Law nodded in greeting.

"Besides your duties as a doctor, your abilities also allow you to serve as a member of the support team."

Caesar briefly explained the division of labor among the three teams on board. "There are currently four people in the support team, including you. The other three are Kuma, Yixiao, and Ace. Considering the distance limit of the Operation Fruit's movement, you will be in the same group with Ace."

"Please take care of me!"

Ace also waved and smiled innocently.

“Please take care…”

Luo nodded slightly, but his heart sank.

This guy...seems to be the kind of hot-blooded idiot he's least adept at dealing with.

"Dr. Wolfe is a scientist, assigned to the logistics team. As for PayPal..."

Caesar glanced at PayPal and asked, "Do you have any abilities?"

"Baby's navigation skills are very good. He has been studying navigation skills hard in order to return to his hometown over the years." Luo said.

Caesar nodded, "Then the logistics team will assist Nami."

"Ha, really?"

Nami patted the big white bear with joy and said, "Please take care of me from now on, Bean!"

PayPal bowed his head obediently: "Please take care of me..."

"Alright, let's prepare a party to celebrate the new members!"

Caesar clapped his hands, his tone tinged with excitement: "After the banquet, we will march into the New World!"

"Oh!!!"

I made a new cover, and this time it didn't even pass review. It's just a portrait of Robin, but it was rejected! I really think this is a setup by the capitalists...)
