One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Morganus looked at the documents sent by Caesar and couldn't help but complain: "Once this news gets out, the first person to come to him will be his cheap father-in-law, right?"

"Then... President, should we send it out?" a member nearby asked excitedly.

"Send it! Of course I will!"

Morgans nodded heavily. "Not only should we issue it, we should also print more! Issue it in large quantities! People won't care about Sky Island, but they will definitely care about gold! Once this news is released, it will definitely cause a frenzy!"

It was as if Morgans' words were confirmed.

The new issue of the newspaper was sent to all parts of the world and immediately caused an extremely heated response!

"Hey, is this true? The Golden Country is actually in the sky?"

"Haha, what are you thinking? How is that even possible? How can an island fly into the sky?"

"It's true. It's reported in the newspaper."

"The World Economic Review? Morgans always likes to report on this kind of boring and stupid things..."

"There are photos. Caesar took them. Look at this golden clock."

“What—?!”

Whether it was Shikai, Paradise, or the New World, even the Navy Headquarters was disturbed by this newspaper.

On the streets, in pubs, everywhere you can hear people discussing the Golden Country.

Especially in Beihai, the discussion about this matter was so heated that only heavyweight news like the love triangle between Whitebeard, Big Mom and Kaido could suppress it.

And unlike previous explorers who claimed to have landed on the Sky Island, Caesar provided complete photographic evidence, from their ride on the surging ocean currents to an altitude of 10,000 meters, to the White Sea, the Sky Island, Arpaiodo, and the Golden City.

The article not only describes how they arrived at Sky Island, but also tells of the four-hundred-year struggle between the Sky Islanders and the Shandians, the agreement between Nolando and the ancestors of the Shandians, why the waters near Gaya Island suddenly darkened, and Sky Island's shellfish technology and currency, etc.

It is precisely because of the complete photos that few people doubt the authenticity of the news.

After all, there are no online trolls or professional trolls in this world. With the facts right before their eyes, only a very small number of self-deceiving individuals are still unwilling to believe, such as the royal descendants of the country where Nolando lived four hundred years ago...

Everyone else was willing to believe it, especially willing to believe that the 10,000 tons of gold really existed.

Like a hurricane carrying a raging fire, the news of the Golden City spread across the ocean at an incredible speed!

On the coast of Gaya Island, Kulik was reading a newspaper with a cigarette in his mouth.

The ape and the gorilla stood behind him, grinning silently.

Kulik slowly stood up and said, "It's time for us to leave."

"Eh?"

The ape was puzzled: "Why?"

"because this."

Kulik put down the newspaper and twitched his lips. "Well... running away for the glory of our ancestors is also a kind of romance."

Chapter 124 Shi Ji

Ding Ding Dangdang ...

The ruins of the original Golden City have now become a construction site. The Sky Islanders and the Shandians work together on the construction site to build their own homes and Caesar's palace on this land bit by bit.

Of course, given Caesar's status as Emperor, the construction of the palace must be the top priority.

There are also residences for the crew members, which must be built as quickly as possible.

The guys on the ship were either orphans or runaways. It was impossible for Caesar to leave them without a place to stay, so he waved his hand and gave each of them a villa, and no one was polite.

Anyway, he is only responsible for providing materials and he doesn't have to do the work, so it's like being generous to others.

Of course, as a reward for their work, Caesar gave the local residents a lot of good things, such as soil.

This thing is called Bass in Sky Island. Because it can grow food, it is more valuable than gold in Sky Island and is the real hard currency in the eyes of the people of Sky Island!

Caesar did not let them down. Their wages for a day's work were a pound of soil, and three meals were provided during the work period. The local residents praised the emperor for his generosity and wanted to pledge their loyalty to Caesar. The only problem was... the crew looked at him as if he were an animal.

Fortunately, Yixiao explained in time, and Caesar was saved from being hung on the street light by his own crew.

Caesar had no choice but to pay money and goods, which would be nothing compared to the soil in the eyes of these people from Sky Island.

"Everyone, it's time to eat~"

The bright and sunny Sky Island girl was carrying a small basket and distributing food to the workers.

"Oh, it's Conis."

A Shandia took the food from the girl with a gentle smile.

The two ethnic groups were forced to merge under Caesar's violent intimidation. Some friction was inevitable at the beginning, but with Caesar around, no one dared to cause trouble. In this situation, the two ethnic groups could only bite the bullet and force contact with each other.

However, after the contact, the two tribes unexpectedly discovered that the other side was not so difficult to contact.

The boys of Shandia like the gentle and quiet girls of Sky Island very much, while the boys of Sky Island are fascinated by the bold and wild girls of Shandia.

To this, Caesar can only say that no matter in which world, ethnic exchanges still depend on young people with thriving hormones.

"You have worked hard."

Conis smiled widely.

"Haha, you've worked hard too."

The old man in front of him, Shandia, blushed. "Come to think of it, Conis, are you going to move to Arpaiado in the future?"

"I don't have such plans."

Conis's family is considered middle class on Sky Island. Her father is a Viba repair technician. The mainstream transportation tools of Fengbei Technology on Sky Island are all within their professional scope. The father and daughter have a big house near Cloud Beach, so there is no need for them to move to Arpaiado.

"But I will be working in Arpaiado later." Conis smiled.

"Hmm? What kind of job? Opening a restaurant?"

Brother Shandia looked excited. He had a great liking for the gentle and beautiful Sky Island girl in front of him.

She was different from the wild women in the tribe, and her kindness and gentleness were enough to make people lose themselves in them.

"She's the head maid of the palace!"

Conis smiled gently, "I heard from Miss Baby5 that it was specifically designated by His Majesty the Emperor."

"Eh?"

Brother Shandia's smile froze on his face, and he was completely petrified.

To be honest, the job of a palace maid is basically no different from that of being the emperor's woman.

Although Sky Island used to be a theocracy ruled by gods, in essence they are all similar, and the work is to serve the rulers.

But how the ruler treats the maid is the ruler's business.

"Did the emperor force you to do this job?"

With a bit of unrealistic expectations, Brother Shandia asked tentatively.

"Hmm? No."

Conis looked expectant. "Miss Baby5 asked me about it, and I'm very satisfied with the salary and benefits. I heard that we can eat all kinds of Qinghai specialties every day in the palace. Miss Baby5 also promised that no one will force us to do anything we don't like."

"That's it..."

Brother Shandia breathed a sigh of relief: "But how does His Majesty know you? Have you seen His Majesty before?"

"No…"

Conis was also puzzled by this.

"Could it be that he has a crush on you?"

Brother Shandia's smile was a little forced.

"Eh? Can I really?"

Conis covered her cheek in a somewhat unsure manner.

Brother Shandia: "..."

Your shy look breaks my heart!

Of course, Caesar is not attracted to Conis. It is hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least for now, he definitely admires and respects this girl's character and personality!

In the original plot, under the threat of Enel, Conis, faced with the choice between conscience and life, resolutely chose to follow her inner justice and morality, and told the protagonists of Enel's plan to force her to lead the Straw Hat Pirates to participate in the Trial of God, and was willing to bear Enel's divine punishment for this.

And when Enel was about to destroy Sky Island, and was distrusted and criticized by the people of Sky Island, he carried a cannon and drove the entire island away, and decisively pulled the safety to force the captain of the white beret to retreat. All these made Caesar amazed when he watched this plot!

She has a gentle and kind personality, and is patient with Luffy and his group of newly arrived reckless pirates. She won't cry all the time, and won't succumb to tyranny. When encountering problems, she can make decisions immediately and execute them decisively.

It may sound like a nothing, but in fact, even in modern society, less than 10% of people can do it!

It would be a waste of talent for such a person to be the head maid. Caesar planned to train her for a period of time and then use her directly.

As mentioned before, Caesar really looked down on these Sky Islanders and Shandians, but Conis was definitely a good girl worthy of respect and trust.

Seeing Connie's embarrassed look, Brother Sandia felt a chill in his heart.

But before he could say anything else, the sky suddenly darkened.

The two of them looked up at the same time, and saw dozens of warships floating slowly from the direction of the sun in the sky!

The bow of the leading battleship is carved with a golden lion head, which looks majestic and awe-inspiring.

And behind that massive fleet, there were actually several floating islands! They followed the fleet unaided and flew towards Arpaiado!

"An island flying in the sky?" Conis's expression changed.

The fleet was so large and impressive that it could be seen clearly from all over Arpaiado.

Naturally, this movement could not be hidden from Caesar and his gang, or perhaps the other party did not even try to conceal it, and they broke into Arpaiado, Caesar's base camp, so blatantly, which shows their arrogant attitude.

"Is that... the flag of the Golden Lion?"

Big Bear, who was helping Bonnie build a new home, looked slightly changed: "Bonnie, you protect everyone."

"understood!"

Bonnie waved her little fist. The little girl knew her priorities and would not cause trouble at a time like this.

Since Big Bear didn't let her follow, it meant that this kind of battle was not something she could interfere with.

Big Bear smiled slightly, and his figure flashed and appeared beside Yamato. At the same time, Yixiao also flew over on a huge rock.

Suddenly, a black shadow pierced the sky.

Caesar flapped the wings behind him and appeared in front of the flying fleet in the blink of an eye, holding a long sword with a cold expression.

"Hahahaha, is that you? The brat who fought Kaido to a draw..."

On the deck of the leading battleship, a blond old man with a ship's rudder stuck on his head and two sharp swords replacing his legs was laughing wildly.

Golden Lion, Shiki!

"I thought it was someone..."

Seeing the person coming, Caesar snorted and sheathed his sword.

"So they are the remnants of the old times."

"Hmph, arrogant brat..."

Shiqi's smile turned cold, biting his cigar: "When I became famous, you were not even born yet."

"A hundred-year-old waste is not waste?"

Caesar's disdain was clearly written on his face: "Are you here for the gold?"

Shi Ji casually took out a newspaper and waved it, a trace of greed in his eyes: "Hahahaha, ten thousand tons of gold, I'm afraid you can't handle it, why don't you give it to me?"

As he finished speaking, the cannons in the fleet behind him were aimed at Arpaiado below, and it seemed that a wave of bullets could fall at any time.

"Ah…"

Caesar chuckled, seeming a little bored.

Shi Ji's frail and old body didn't even make him want to draw his sword.

Not to mention the main fighters on the ship, even Ace could pin him to the ground and beat him.

The old man thought he was Garp, and he thought he was the flying admiral who once dominated the sea...
