One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

The sea breeze blew through everyone's hair, and Bonnie looked at Caesar eagerly.

"So we have to swim out to sea?"

"Children should not make a habit of complaining!"

Caesar blocked the little girl's mouth with a chicken leg, and then he waved his arm, and a blood-red curtain instantly blocked the sunlight above everyone's heads.

Then, Caesar snapped his fingers lightly.

With a crisp sound, the blood color dissipated, and a three-masted sailing ship that looked relatively ordinary, 80 meters long and 60 meters high, appeared in front of everyone.

"Wow!! It's a ship! What a huge ship!"

Bonnie held the chicken drumstick and looked at Caesar excitedly: "Caesar, can you do magic?"

“…Isn’t this already magic?”

Robin's eyes were also full of disbelief. She knew that Caesar had some strange tricks and could create objects out of thin air, but she didn't expect that he could even create a ship, and a ship of such a large size!

"Actually, there are even bigger ones, but with just our number, we won't be able to control any bigger ones."

Caesar shook his head regretfully. He had collected many types of ships, the largest of which could reach two hundred meters in length, but they were all ordinary ships built in the East China Sea.

"The largest cabin on this ship is six meters high, which is a bit tight for Big Bear, but it's still manageable. I'll build a special cabin for him when we get back to the East China Sea."

"The key is how Big Bear can get into the cabin given his height?" Robin asked.

"It'll be fine after some modifications. I know a little bit about shipbuilding."

Caesar patted his chest. He wasn't too proud of his skills, but he said, "Alright everyone, let's get on board! Big Bear, do you want to say goodbye to your friends?"

"Still not."

Big Bear glanced at the ship in front of him. He didn't want Caesar's abilities to be discovered by outsiders because of his own affairs.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's set sail!"

Yamato cheered and climbed onto the boat using the rope ladder, followed closely by Baby5 and Robin.

Big Bear held Bonnie in his arms, slapped the air with his other hand, and appeared on the deck in the blink of an eye.

Caesar also flashed and leaped onto the bow with a few moon steps, facing everyone on the deck.

"From now on, Big Bear will be the helmsman, Yamato and Robin will be the sailors, Baby5 will be the lookout, and Bonnie and I will be the coordinators! Does anyone have any questions?"

"I have a question!"

Yamato raised his hand, "What's a sail hand?"

Everyone: "..."

Caesar shook his head helplessly. Crew work on this ocean was basically common sense, but this poor girl had never been out to sea, which was incredible in the world of One Piece.

"A sailor is responsible for raising and lowering sails and operating the mast. He's a type of sailor. Robin, is it okay for you to be the main sailor?"

"No problem Captain," Robin chuckled.

With the power of the Hana-Hana no Mi, no one is more suitable for the job of sailor than her.

"One more question, Captain..."

Big Bear looked at Caesar and suddenly asked a fatal question: "Do you have a sea chart?"

"..."

There was a sudden deathly silence in the air.

Caesar was silent, silent, speechless for a moment.

Robin: "Ah, this team is doomed."

"No Road Race!"

Caesar's face darkened. "Never mind! Let's set sail! You won't starve to death as long as I'm here!"

"Haha, you're getting angry out of shame!"

"Caesar, you idiot! Lol~"

A burst of laughter suddenly rang out on the deck.

In the sunshine, the sea surface sparkles.

With a loud bang, the sails were lowered and the ship slowly sailed towards the horizon.

Chapter 73: The Slave Ship and the First Enemy

“So boring!!!”

A few days later, in a certain area of ​​the South China Sea.

Yamato and Bonnie lay on the guardrail, wailing loudly with bitter faces.

After only a few days of sailing, the two people, one big and one small, could no longer stand the boring sailing life.

Most of the time at sea is boring and tedious. Some sailors may even be driven crazy by this boredom. That is why some better-equipped ships are equipped with various entertainment facilities to relieve boredom.

Unfortunately, Caesar is a merchant ship. Although it is not small in size, it actually only has some empty cargo holds except for the necessary rooms.

“Cherish this boring time.”

Caesar was lazily leaning on a lounge chair, wearing a loose black and gray vest and white beach shorts, with a pair of frog-eye glasses hanging on his nose. A huge parasol next to him blocked the sunlight above his head.

Beside him were Robin and baby5 lying side by side. Robin was wearing a black bikini with orange floral prints, a sea blue silk scarf draped over her shoulders, a white wide-brimmed hat on her head, and a book in her arms.

Baby5 was wearing a short-skirt maid outfit, curled up on a recliner and looking through a cookbook, her long, beautiful legs crossed, gleaming like ivory in the sunlight.

Not far away from the few people, Daxiong also changed into a white vest and fiddled with the barbecue with a smile on his face.

"This is a tranquility unique to the Four Seas, and you can't stand it after just a few days? I don't think you're determined to go to sea..."

“But it’s really boring…”

Yamato looked at him pitifully: "Are your trips to the sea always this boring?"

"how come?"

Caesar shook his head slightly. "There's not much fun to do at sea, but you can find your own fun. For example, aren't we having a barbecue party right now? It's a beach-themed one..."

Yamato sighed heavily, "But it's still so boring... I feel like I have nothing to do. Won't you guys get bored?"

"I think it's pretty good. It's quiet and leisurely. If I didn't have some ideals, I could live like this forever."

Caesar said cheerfully, "Don't worry. After a few days, once you get used to this boring life, you'll gradually become as bored as us~"

“Hey—I don’t want it!” ×2

Yamato and Bonnie both wailed, and Robin couldn't help but chuckle as he covered his mouth at their cute appearance.

"Don't worry, every sailor will feel bored when they first go out to sea. Essentially, this can be seen as a test of one's character."

Robin closed the book and explained, "Also, you have to learn to find things to do on the sea. If you're bored all the time, you never know when you might go crazy, which is very dangerous on the sea."

Yamato pouted: "But what can we do? There's nothing we can do on the ship..."

"There are many!"

Robin suggested, "Like music, painting, reading, playing cards, billiards, fishing, or even practicing, aren't those all possible?"

Yamato: “I don’t know how to do that!”

Bonnie nodded, looking silly and cute, and subconsciously took the skewers handed to her by Big Bear: "Me too, I only know how to eat..."

Caesar shook his head slightly. "You're in a state now. You've just set sail and are filled with curiosity about the unknown. That's why you can't calm down no matter what you do. You just want to fly to the end of the world. This state is not good. Sailing is not that simple."

Yamato looked curious, "Was it like this when Caesar first set sail?"

"Of course, everyone has been there. If something unexpected happens, it's not impossible to drift on the sea for several months."

Caesar laughed and said, "The ocean is vast, but also very dangerous. The great pirate Golden Lion, who once battled Roger, even had a ship's rudder stuck in his head due to a shipwreck. We are all equipped with special abilities on our ship, and if one of us is not careful, something serious could happen."

"This has no necessary connection with our aimless wandering on the sea."

Robin smiled and said, "It's because we don't have a sea chart, right?"

"Well...if we encounter a ship or a port later, there will still be enough time."

Caesar laughed, then suddenly felt something was wrong. He looked up at the sail and said, "Come to think of it, have you noticed that the air seems to have become quieter?"

Robin's expression changed slightly: "Could it be that I accidentally entered the doldrums?"

Caesar shook his head. "Don't worry. The ship's bottom is inlaid with seastone, so even if we enter the Calm Belt, we won't be in danger. The only problem is that while the Calm Belt has a stable climate, like the Grand Line, its magnetic field is highly turbulent, requiring a compass to determine our course."

Yamato's eyes lit up, "So, are we facing an emergency? An adventure?"

call--

Suddenly a breeze blew by, and Caesar brushed his bangs, saying, "Looks like we're still in the South China Sea."

"what!!!"

Yamato slumped down on the deck dejectedly: "There's nothing interesting to do!"

"Well... Honestly, you're pretty lucky."

Caesar smiled and said, "The moment you said that, a slave ship appeared within the range of my observation Haki."

"Tataka!"

Yamato stood up suddenly and rushed to the guardrail: "Where is it? Where is it? What is a slave ship?"

Caesar closed his eyes and sensed carefully: "It's the slave-capturing and trading ship, at ten o'clock, thirty nautical miles away."

"Thirty nautical miles? That's fifty kilometers away? Can your observation Haki actually cover that far?"

Big Bear was surprised. He knew that Caesar was proficient in Observation Haki, but this distance was still beyond his imagination.

"That's nothing. Some people can even catch meteorites from the sky."

Caesar stood up and said, "Alright everyone, the charts are here. After drifting for so many days, it's time to get down to business! Ten o'clock, full speed!"

"Oh!!!"

Yamato and Bonnie stood up and cheered. Big Bear handed the barbecue task to baby5 and steered the boat towards ten o'clock.

After a while, just as Caesar said, a three-masted sailing ship about 100 meters long appeared on the sea level.

Caesar looked at Yamato and said, "Kuma and I will not take any action. The battle will be left to you."

"no problem!"

Yamato raised his mace, puffed out his chest with confidence, and his chest was surging.

"Don't be anxious. There are still some captured slaves on the ship. Don't rush up without thinking."

Caesar reminded him, "You have three tasks: obtain the sea chart, rescue the slaves, and kill the enemy. If the enemy threatens you with slaves, don't hesitate, just unleash your Domineering Haki!"

"understand!"

"Robin, you are responsible for assisting Yamato, and Baby5, protect Bonnie." Caesar said lightly.

"Is Bonnie going to join the battle too?"

Big Bear looked worried. "Isn't it too early? She hasn't learned how to fight yet."

"I can, Dad!"

Bonnie waved her little fist, looking determined to win.

Then, her body suddenly grew rapidly, and she looked like a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old. The vest and shorts that originally fit her very well gradually became tight, clinging to her curvy body.

"When fighting enemy ships, be careful. If anyone with special abilities appears, crush them with your domineering aura."

Caesar looked at Yamato and said, "Besides, our entire ship is full of people with special abilities. To avoid unnecessary risks, we won't engage in a boarding battle."

Although he has no shortage of ships, it is better to develop habits for some things.

Yamato nodded heavily: "Leave it to me!"

As she spoke, a layer of snow-white hair appeared on her body, and in the blink of an eye she turned into a little werewolf. She jumped lightly onto the railing and blew a breath of cold air towards the sea.

sieve--

The sea surface, which was originally somewhat rippling, instantly froze, and an icy road connected to the enemy ship.

Bang!
