One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Bista took out a small notebook and wrote down Caesar's words: "This kid is really good at showing off in both words and actions."

"That's their background and cultivation, you're just showing off."

Sachi teased on the side and everyone laughed.

"Dad, I want to go back to Wano Country."

Izo came to Whitebeard's side and said in a deep voice: "The situation in Wano Country is ultimately just that guy's one-sided statement. I'm still a little worried..."

"Go if you want."

Whitebeard agreed without hesitation: "But that place is Kaido's territory after all. I don't trust you to go there alone. Take some people with you."

"I'll go with you."

The captain of Team 8, Namur, stood up.

He is a merman, and his main task is to support and rescue underwater. If they encounter danger at sea, he can take Yi Zang away quickly.

We just want to take a look at the latest situation in Wano Country. Too many people would cause trouble. It's not far from here to Wano Country, and a small speedboat is enough.

…………

"Those guys are pretty good!"

After separating from Whitebeard and his group, Runti chuckled, a very innocent smile: "Hey Caesar, how about we have a party when we get back? Just you, me, Xiaopei, and maybe invite that idiot Yamato along too?"

Caesar looked at Runti with a smile: "Oh? Do you consider us friends?"

"Hmph~ Let's just leave it at that!"

Runti crossed her arms and raised her chin proudly: "Since you rescued my bastard dad, I don't hate you anymore!"

Caesar smiled. He actually quite liked Runti.

Although he is a bit noisy and his words are a bit harsh, he is actually very sensible. At most, he will just call someone a bastard or an idiot, rather than cursing others with malice.

His personality is very similar to Yamato, and he is also a bit naive.

However, Yamato's stupidity is that he doesn't get the point, while Runti's stupidity is just a daze, or maybe it's a reaction...

I don’t know if it’s a racial trait or something, but Maria doesn’t look stupid at all. She’s very smart.

"Ha—Xiao Pei will definitely like this kind of party. It's a party among friends, right? It's really the first time ever!"

Runti held her face in her hands, looking self-absorbed: "Speaking of which, being a sister is really hard. I am such a good sister~"

“Gahhahaha…”

A rough laugh came from behind them. The two turned around and Hanafza walked towards them with a big laugh. "You are indeed a good sister. You have worked really hard over the years, Runti."

Runti pointed at Hanafzai and said, "Ah, the irresponsible man is coming."

"Irresponsible? I'm such a failure as a dad."

Hanafza laughed loudly. "That can't be helped. Men always have ambitions that they must pursue even at the risk of life and death! Right, kid?"

"wrong."

"Eh?!!!"

Hanafza's eyes widened suddenly. "A guy as powerful as you can't actually understand me?"

"I totally don't understand. A man who can't even support his family, let alone have ambition."

Caesar sighed. "But your case isn't so bad. I've even seen people abandon their three-year-old grandchildren in the primeval forest. There's definitely something wrong with this world's view of family and education..."

"Hahaha, is that so?"

Hanafza smiled awkwardly and scratched his cheek.

He is obviously more than three meters taller than Caesar, but for some reason, his temperament seems to be much shorter.

"By the way, uncle, you have a really good personality."

Caesar was a little surprised by Hanafza's attitude: "You're not even angry?"

"Don't look at me like this, I'm very cruel outside!"

Hanafza grinned. "But I always feel guilty when I see my daughter whom I haven't seen for many years. And this time... Thank you so much, Brother Caesar."

Caesar shook his head slightly: "You're welcome, this matter itself was caused by me."

"Well, I failed, there's no need to give so many excuses. Ultimately, it all comes down to my lack of strength."

Hanafza waved his hand. He knew his own strength very well. At best, he was at the level of the Three Calamities. It was basically impossible for him to make further progress in this life.

"My biggest wish now, besides collecting ancient devil fruits, is to see my children happy in my lifetime. It would be even better if I could hold my grandchildren in my arms, hahahaha..."

"Oh."

“I hope that in my lifetime…”

"I heard uncle."

PS: There's one more update! Please vote! I'm planning to change the title of this book. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Chapter 34 Go all out

No wonder this guy is so nice. Is he trying to find a son-in-law after all this time?

Hanafzai's words can no longer be considered a hint, they are completely explicit!

But to be honest, Runti is indeed a good girl, but she is a little too young.

Sixteen years old...

Caesar didn't care whether they committed a crime or not, after all, they were all outlaws.

But no matter in terms of personality or figure, he prefers those who are 20 years old or above, unless they are gifted.

As for Runti's talent, it's just average.

In the original plot, she had a pretty good figure when she was in her twenties, but she still had the personality of a little girl.

He likes Yamato to call him dad, but he doesn't want to be a real dad...

"Did your bastard dad want Caesar to be your son-in-law?"

Runti was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly her face was horrified: "You want to marry Xiao Pei to this guy? No, no! Xiao Pei is a man!"

Caesar rolled his eyes: "Have you drunk your brain?"

Runti looked at Caesar and suddenly held her face with both hands: "I am even worse!"

"There's no need to be so disgusted."

Caesar's face darkened: "Besides, I already have a girlfriend..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the father and daughter in front of him suddenly tilted their heads, as if they wanted to say something in tacit understanding, but Caesar suddenly raised his hand to stop them.

"Okay, I know what you're going to say. There's definitely something about the feng shui of Wano Country..."

Caesar waved his hand and turned to walk towards the cabin: "The people have been rescued. If nothing is wrong, please stop bothering me and let me be quiet for a while."

During this trip, Caesar stayed in Peggy Wan's room. The brother and sister had each other's rooms on the ship. The rooms were kept clean and Caesar felt quite comfortable staying there.

Falling onto the bed, Caesar closed his eyes and recalled what Whitebeard said when they parted.

purely…

He probably understood what Whitebeard was trying to say.

But just like when I first learned Armament Haki, it is difficult to truly understand the key points of some things without actually feeling them.

But speaking of it, the strongest man in the world did have some skills. He could find his problem at a glance.

Caesar had vaguely sensed this sense of disharmony before, but he couldn't explain it clearly.

It's a bit similar to the mysterious enlightenment in fantasy fairy tales, but relatively more realistic.

That was definitely a state that he already understood clearly, but just couldn't do it!

Apart from the conversation before they parted, Marco did not mention the previous mention of curing Whitebeard's illness.

Caesar didn't think Marco would forget such an important thing, so he wouldn't ask him and make himself look bad.

Ultimately, there are only two reasons.

One reason is his identity. After all, he is Kaido's man now.

The second reason is the ability. The ability of the followers can make people submit to him physically and mentally. He had mentioned this to Marco before.

After all, with Whitebeard's level of domineering power and willpower, it is impossible for him to be controlled by his followers. If it is not made clear in advance, it may cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Of the two reasons, Caesar prefers the latter. Given Whitebeard's strength and courage, it is unlikely that he would be hesitant and fearful because of his identity.

But he is the strongest man in the world after all, and he once competed with the Pirate King.

Given the arrogance of these old guys, I'm afraid even if they die, they would not be willing to let their body and mind be controlled by others, even for just a short while.

"The strong..."

"belief…"

"purely…"

"pride…"

Lying on the bed, Caesar stared at the ceiling and muttered to himself.

After all, he is a time traveler from the modern era. Although his strength is growing rapidly, his mentality cannot be changed in a short time.

In a trance, Caesar's consciousness was a little confused.

This time he got along quite well with Bai Tuan, but he was still somewhat nervous.

After all, he is a pirate. Caesar would not be stupid enough to contact these guys with a character filter. If he had no choice, he would not have taken the risk to ask Marco for help in finding the fruit.

People like Daxiong and Yixiao are his first choice.

It's just that Yixiao's whereabouts are always uncertain, and Xiong is looking for a doctor for Bonnie's case.

Caesar wasn't sure if the vampire fruit could cure Bonnie's illness, and he wasn't even sure if the fruit existed at all. What if it ended up being a waste of time and ended up delaying Bonnie's treatment?

Not to mention whether the big bear would kill him, Caesar himself felt too ashamed to live anymore.

He could wipe out the entire family of his enemy because of his stance, but he would not go to such lengths to delay someone's medical treatment and save their life because of his own selfish interests.

The moral standards are not high, to some extent.

As his mind relaxed, Caesar gradually fell asleep.

This sleep was a bit chaotic, even deep.

Caesar always felt as if he was half asleep and half awake. He seemed to be able to faintly hear the movements of the outside world, but he just couldn't wake up.

The memories of his past and future lives flashed through his mind like movie clips in his sleep.

After an unknown amount of time, Caesar suddenly opened his eyes, his body already soaked with sweat.

Although it was a very chaotic sleep, he did not feel tired at all. Instead, he was inexplicably full of energy.

"Ha! You're awake!"

With a loud bang, the door was suddenly kicked open and Runti strode into the cabin.

Gululu…

Caesar's stomach growled, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat? What to eat?"

Runti rolled her eyes and stretched out her arms in a giant circle. "Why are you eating when the ship is about to dock? You're such a lazy bum! You actually slept for two whole days!"

"Two days?"

Caesar was slightly startled. He didn't expect that he had slept for so long.

"Huh? Why are you sweating so much? Are you sick?"

Runti leaned forward, pressed her forehead against Caesar's forehead, and stared at Caesar's eyes with her big eyes blinking.

Looking at the pretty face right in front of him, Caesar was slightly startled.
