One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

"no problem!"

Baby5 said confidently, "I've been trained by my family, and I can fly all kinds of ships!"

“You still cultivate this?”

Caesar was a little surprised: "Then what else can you do?"

Baby5 spoke with pride, like a kitten begging for praise: "Navigation, combat, assassination, espionage, and of course, the essential bridal skills for a wife: cooking! Housework! Sewing! Farming! Hunting! Housebuilding! Transforming into a weapon!"

"Cooking, housework, and sewing are understandable, but the rest has nothing to do with the bride, right?"

Caesar couldn't help but complain: "This isn't a bride secret, this is wilderness survival... No, it's a post-disaster civilization reconstruction secret!"

Baby's eyes flickered: "Dear, don't you like it?"

"How could that be? Who would refuse a woman who can transform?"

Caesar pulled her into his arms, his hands moving restlessly: "Then... the driving is up to you, and I'll be in charge of the general direction!"

"Hmm~"

The enclosed submarine, the dim seabed, the narrow space, and the gradually hot and humid air...

Before they knew it, the two people in the driver's seat were wearing less and less clothes, and the air was gradually filled with the ambiguous smell of hormones.

It took Caesar two days to get to Dressrosa, but twice as long to get back...

The reason behind this is not something that can be told to outsiders.

During this period, the South China Sea.

In the southern part of the Kingdom of Solbe, outside an old church...

"Senior Pico, the head of the Don Quixote family's arms trade."

Big Bear looked at the strange man in front of him who was wearing baby clothes and had a pacifier in his mouth, his face expressionless.

"I don't remember any involvement with the guys from the Dark World. Did Doflamingo send you here?"

"Yes, but this time it's not my young master who's looking for you."

Senior explained, "It's a gentleman named Jin Caesar, who asked my young master to bring you a message."

Kim Caesar?

Never heard of the name...

Xiong was confused, but his good upbringing made him choose to listen: "Tell me about it."

"That lord said he could save your most prized treasure."

"..."

Big Bear was silent for a moment, and a hint of surprise flashed across his originally expressionless face.

"The most treasured...treasure?"

"That's right!"

Senior nodded. "That person left the life card with my young master. You can go there at any time..."

"Dressrosa?"

"That's right!"

"I see."

Seeing the fleeting look of relief on the bear's face, Senior's expression shifted slightly.

"The so-called treasure is actually a very important person, right? A lover? A child?"

"You have too many questions."

Xiong's expression quickly returned to its cold hardness. He had no good feelings towards criminal groups like Don Quixote.

"Sorry, it just feels..."

Senior smiled faintly, not intending to ask any further questions: "Do you want me to send you to the new world?"

"No, I'll do it as fast as I can..."

"Oh no, Bear!"

A group of fishermen came from afar, protecting the wounded old men: "King Bekoli, that bastard, that bastard has gone crazy!"

"What happened? What happened to everyone?"

"Save us, Bear..."

In the crowd, an old man with swollen eyes tugged at Xiong's sleeve, "That beast... said he wanted to burn to death all those who were holding the country back!"

Noticing the injuries on the old man's body, Xiong's face suddenly darkened.

"King Bekoli?"

Senior was stunned. "The king of this country? By the way...what happened in this country? Why are all the injured elderly people?"

"King Bekoli wants to follow the example of the Goa Kingdom in the East China Sea and burn to death all the elderly and injured people who cannot work in the country!" explained an old man.

"Why did he do that?"

"Because the gold from heaven is collected based on population and land area..."

Chapter 54 Fire

Kingdom of Solbe, South.

The raging fire was like a terrifying giant python, devouring people's houses crazily.

The people stared blankly at their homes being engulfed by flames, their eyes filled with death and despair.

Just over a decade ago, influenced by the Heavenly Gold, King Solbey issued a decree to divide the country into two and drive all the elderly people who were unable to work to the barren areas in the south, including even the elders of the royal family!

These citizens will no longer be considered members of the Solbe Kingdom. They will be abandoned people who are not protected by the law and can be abused and ravaged by lawless persons!

Fortunately, the newly formed revolutionary army suddenly intervened and this tyranny was eventually put to an end.

But everyone knows that this matter is far from over.

Just a few years ago, the Goa Kingdom in the East China Sea burned a huge fire, which earned it high praise from the Celestial Dragons, who even described it as the most beautiful country in the East China Sea.

It was precisely because of this incident that King Bekoli's mind became active again.

Now, he also plans to use a big fire to burn to death everyone in the southern region, so that the country can usher in the so-called "rebirth"!

"My house..."

The thin woman held her child in her arms, staring blankly at the burning house in the flames.

The old people were silent, their hunched figures becoming increasingly old and drowsy.

"Hey! Come and save them!"

"There are children in the house!"

"Uncle Tom! Uncle Tom hasn't come out yet!"

Some remained silent, some struggled desperately, and some roared in despair.

Suddenly, the tall and burly figure of Big Bear appeared out of nowhere. Looking at the hellish scene in front of him, veins bulged on his forehead and his eyes flashed with furious flames.

He raised his hand, intending to fire an air cannon to put out the flames, but was suddenly stopped by a tree root crutch.

"It won't work, Xiongxiong..."

The one who stopped him was the former king of this country, who was also the grandfather of the current king. Now, due to his old age, he was driven to this southern region along with everyone else.

"A vacuum can extinguish flames, but most of the houses here are made of wood. If they collapse due to the impact, it will likely cause a chain reaction..."

The big bear was silent for a moment, then rushed towards the fire area without saying a word.

Suddenly, a figure stood in front of him.

The other person was fat, wearing baby clothes, with a pacifier in his mouth, and he stood in his way with such a big body.

"Get out of the way!"

Big Bear's voice was cold and hard, as if he was suppressing endless anger.

"I think I figured out what's going on here..."

Senior crossed his arms, his sunglasses reflecting the firelight, his face full of confidence.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the user of the Water-Water Fruit..."

"Eh? Water-Water Fruit? Can it produce water?" The people next to him were shocked.

"No, but I can swim anywhere like I'm in water!"

“That’s totally useless!!”

"Yes, brother, yes!"

Senior gave Big Bear a thumbs-up. "On the way here, I heard your story from the elders. The most important thing you should do now is to give that bastard king a good beating."

"As for this, leave it to me, brother..."

"Thank you!"

The big bear was silent for a moment, then disappeared in a flash.

At the same moment, Senior dove into the ground and swam towards the fire...

Solby Palace, on the high walls.

King Bekoli looked at the flames covering the sky in the distant southern region and smiled grimly.

And beneath the high walls, countless people gathered in the streets, cursing and protesting angrily.

"Murderer!"

"Put out the fire, you bastard!"

"Hahahaha~ You bunch of fools, I'm doing this for your own good!"

Looking at the helpless people below, King Bekoli's smile became more and more proud.

"In the distant East China Sea, a country successfully implemented this policy. They created a beautiful city without garbage, and were even praised by the Celestial Dragons... So sometimes, in order to achieve great happiness, you must be ruthless and reform your country."

"Oh no, Your Majesty, the people are starting to riot!"

"Then just shoot four or five people... well, this is for the greater good!"

Bang!

Gunshots were heard, but no one was hit.

A tall and burly man stood in front of the crowd, holding the bullet shot from the soldier's gun in his hand. His face was full of anger. He raised his hand and knocked the soldier beside him away.

"who are you?!"

The soldier shouted, "If you don't stop, you will be executed on the spot!"

In the distance, flames shot up into the sky. The big bear had his back to the shadows, gritting his teeth in anger, his furious face growing increasingly gloomy.

then…

boom--

Violent air waves rolled, and the palace gate was blasted open by a shock wave.

Dozens of soldiers flew high up with the shock wave and then fell heavily!

"Stop it! You bastard!"

Inside the palace, the soldiers fled in panic.

King Bekoli looked at the figure rushing towards him in horror, shouting hysterically.

"Asking the king is a serious crime! Do you understand what a serious crime is? Damn you!!"

Unfortunately, however...
