One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Caesar responded verbally while thinking in his mind.

Sanfarud is near the Seven Waters City, but a little further ahead than the Seven Waters City, close to the central area of ​​the paradise.

The East China Sea is a paradise just across the doldrums. With Big Bear's speed, he can fly two round trips a day. It would take three days and three nights to take pictures of others, but he doesn't need that.

"I'd better send someone to pick it up from you. I also need to order a ship from the Seven Waters City."

"Oh...? It seems this fruit is very important to you?"

"Tsk, you see it but don't say it..."

Caesar sighed helplessly and became anxious.

But it's no wonder he was worried. Caesar never imagined that the Dark-Dark Fruit would be in Hanafza's hands!

"It's a natural type after all, why don't you think of selling it?"

"Of course, it's to facilitate the exchange for ancient species and mythical beast species! After all, it's a natural type."

Hanafza sneered, "You don't think I have to rob everything just because I'm a pirate, do you?"

"No, no, no, I'll send someone to find you right away!"

Caesar hurriedly said, "I'll leave Doflamingo's affairs to you from now on!"

After hanging up the phone, Caesar looked at Big Bear.

Big Bear stood up consciously. "Although I haven't been to Sanfarud, I have been to the nearby islands. I should be back before tomorrow morning."

Caesar nodded. At this moment he was extremely glad that he had recruited Big Bear as his subordinate.

"There's a buffalo fruit in here!"

He took out a small wooden box and handed it to Big Bear, and Caesar casually stuffed a stack of ten thousand yuan bills into his hand.

"Once you get what you want, don't stop. The development of the organization depends on you!"

"Ok!"

Big Bear nodded heavily. He knew how much Caesar valued this fruit. The other party even did not hide the fact that he could eat the second fruit from him. He would never let this trust down.

"Is Dad going out?"

Bonnie looked at Big Bear and said, "Have a safe journey!"

"Daddy is not here, Bonnie has to listen to Caesar."

The big bear reached out and rubbed Bonnie's little head, then hurried away.

As soon as he went out, he heard a soft "pop" sound, like a bubble bursting, and the big bear's figure disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye.

"Eh?!"

Bartolomeo looked out the window in astonishment: "Did that guy just fly out?"

"Dad is the user of the Meat-Glob Fruit. He can send people flying to anywhere he goes!" Bonnie introduced proudly.

"What? That's amazing!"

Bartolomeo was shocked. "What about the final island?"

“It has to be a place I’ve been to…”

Bonnie grinned, "By the way, Barto, can you take me shopping later? I haven't seen any gangsters yet!"

"If you haven't seen it, don't see it."

Caesar slowly wiped his mouth, took a sip of tea, and then picked up the newspaper and flipped through it. "Gangsters aren't something a little girl your age should be involved with, and besides, we're leaving tomorrow morning."

"Eh--"

"Hey what? I'll treat you to something delicious later!"

"Okay then~"

Bonnie pouted, looking like she was going to obey him even though she was very reluctant.

"By the way, Barto, go to the shipyard and ask if they have any larger new boats. The length isn't a big deal, but the interior space must be large enough to accommodate Big Bear's size. If there are any, just buy them."

"Yes! Leave it to me!"

After finally receiving Caesar's mission, Bartolomeo didn't even bother to eat and hurried out to find a boat.

Seeing Bartolomeo leave, Bonnie blinked her big eyes and looked at Caesar: "Caesar..."

"Ok?"

Caesar flipped through the newspaper, tilting his head nonchalantly, but his eyes were fixed on the paper.

"You know a lot of things, don't you?"

"What do you want to ask?"

Hearing this, Caesar raised an eyebrow and then turned his gaze to Bonnie.

"hey-hey…"

The little girl smiled slyly and leaned over to sit on the chair next to Caesar: "Do you know who my mother is?"

"Big Bear...didn't tell you?"

Caesar narrowed his eyes and said, "Then I can't tell you. This is a matter between you and your daughter. It's not good for an outsider like me to interfere in family matters. You know, Yamato was in her twenties and was beaten up by her father."

"Hey—stingy!"

Bonnie pouted: "I just want to know. Your name is Ginny, right? Every time I ask Dad, he hesitates and doesn't tell me..."

"He was right not to tell you. You're not old enough to know that. As a crew member, you should trust the judgment of me, the captain, right?"

Caesar snorted softly, picked up the teacup, and blew gently on the hot steam from the rim of the cup: "Besides, this is not only your family problem, it is also Big Bear's privacy. You should try to grow up."

With a soft rustling sound, Bonnie instantly transformed into an eighteen-year-old, puffing out her full chest: "Here! You've grown up!"

"Pfft—you don't grow up like this, idiot!"

Caesar spat out a mouthful of tea and struck the little girl on the head with a knife. "It's about your mental age. You haven't grown to the point where you can accept the past calmly. Knowing these things in advance may have a negative impact on your future growth."

"That's it..."

Bonnie pouted and rolled her eyes, "I... am not actually Dad's biological child, am I?"

Caesar laughed: "Why? Is Big Bear not good to you? How could you have such an illusion?"

Seeing that Caesar didn't seem to be lying, Bonnie breathed a sigh of relief and grinned, "Because Daddy said I'm a treasure given to him by God!"

"That's good. Most of the children in this ocean are picked up from trash cans, roadsides and other places."

Caesar chuckled and said, "Little girl, you still want to cheat me?"

In my previous life, I collected twenty homework assignments, and I handed in forty-five of them without blinking an eye!

Chapter 79 Black Hole Jets

The next day, early in the morning.

Caesar sat on the sofa, staring quietly at the dark purple devil fruit in front of him.

The people who were already ready to go sat around, all with curious expressions on their faces.

"Is this the Dark-Dark Fruit?"

Robin looked at the Dark-Dark Fruit and said, "Dark purple... The Flower-Flower Fruit I ate was pink and looked like a flower."

Yamato laughed: "My Big Mouth True God Fruit looks like a persimmon. By the way, Caesar, what does your vampire fruit look like?"

"It's shaped like a large, overgrown tomato, mostly purple with a dark red top."

Caesar said this, flipping his palm and the Dark-Dark Fruit instantly disappeared.

[Collection Item: Devil Fruit (Natural Type Dark-Dark Fruit)]

[Rarity: S]

【Collection value: SS】

[Comment: The bigger Nika's cheat is, the more severe the black hole's damage will be!]

[Achievement: Collect a Nature Devil Fruit]

[Achievement Reward: Masterpiece Upgrade]

His eyes fell on the achievement reward, and a smile flashed in Caesar's eyes.

This reward was not unexpected for him, because when he collected the barrier fruit two days ago, he also achieved the achievement of collecting a superhuman fruit, and the reward was also a masterpiece upgrade.

The Animal, Nature, and Superman types each reward a masterpiece upgrade, which is enough to satisfy his vision of collecting all three types of fruits.

"I never thought that this fruit would be in Hanafza's hands."

Caesar was amazed: "That guy didn't sell it?"

"Old-time pirates are all like this. Once they find a rare treasure, the first thing they do is not to sell it, but to find a place to hide it. This way, they can prepare for any unexpected events and quickly make a comeback with these treasures."

Robin said calmly, "After all, for pirates, if they lose money or something, they can just rob again. But things like fruits and famous swords are like real estate. They can be used for personal use, training subordinates, or even to exchange with other pirates for what they want. Selling them is actually the least efficient option."

"That's right, after all, that guy is a former Shichibukai..."

Caesar nodded. He thought of Crocodile. When Buggy first became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he had borrowed a lot of money from Crocodile.

Judging from the timeline, Crocodile had just been released from prison at that time, and he still had spare money to lend to Buggy at this time. This guy definitely has a treasure trove.

Now think about the Seven Warlords of the Sea. It seems that their economic situation is pretty good. After all, they have the certification of the World Government, so it is legal for them to do business or rob money.

Bonnie looked at Caesar curiously: "So...what is the use of this fruit?"

"Bonnie!"

Big Bear patted his daughter's head gently and said, "Don't ask about other people's privacy casually."

"It's not a secret. There's nothing I can't tell you."

Caesar smiled. He didn't mind revealing some weaknesses.

After all, what does the flaw of the Dark-Dark Fruit have to do with the Light-Dark Fruit?

Not to mention that everyone present is worthy of his trust. Even if someone really betrays him and the news gets out, he can get rid of the nail while also tricking others.

"The ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit can be understood as a small black hole. Compared to other natural fruits, this fruit has significant drawbacks, such as the inability to transform into elements like other fruits."

"Unable to transform into an element? That's equivalent to lowering the lower limit of the natural system."

Big Bear thought for a moment and said, "Although Haki can attack elemental beings, even so, this ability can give a person an advantage in battles of the same level."

"That's right..."

Caesar nodded. For the natural system, even if fighting against a strong person who possesses domineering power, the only threat is the direct attack from the opponent's domineering power.

As for damage such as explosions, impacts, and falls, they are meaningless to users with natural abilities.

Kaido would feel pain for a while if he fell from a height of ten thousand meters, but Kizaru would turn into a pile of photons, Akainu would turn into a pile of magma, and Aokiji would turn into broken ice. When the elements gather again, none of the three would be hurt at all.

Similar situations are inevitable in battle, especially in battles of the same level. Being able to ignore such damage is a huge advantage in itself.

Caesar explained, "The Dark-Dark Fruit isn't incapable of elemental transformation, but rather its elemental transformation itself becomes a black hole, passively absorbing damage from attacks. In a sense, this damage absorption ability is even better than elemental transformation. However, this ability comes at a price, and that price is a more acute sense of pain than that of ordinary people."

"Also, people's tolerance for pain and injury has limits. Once a certain threshold is exceeded, it is very likely that the user will be instantly destroyed like a building collapsing."

"So, despite so many drawbacks, you still can't forget it. What's so special about this fruit?"

Robin smiled and said, "Now that we've talked about the shortcomings, let's talk about the advantages."

"Equally restrain all those with special abilities, and be able to take away the abilities of others."

Caesar spread his hands lightly, but what he said surprised everyone.

Restraining people with special abilities is easy, as seastone can also do that, but taking away other people's abilities is something they have never heard of.

"This also means that if we want to seize that fruit in the future, we just need to find someone with the corresponding ability."

Robin's face was solemn: "Fortunately, this fruit didn't fall into the hands of the World Government."
