One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Soon, everyone arrived at the restaurant. Baby5 had already prepared breakfast, and Yamato and Bonnie had already started their storm inhalation.

Seeing Caesar and his companions enter the room, the two of them stammered and greeted them incoherently, looking very cute.

"Wow! What a feast!"

Looking at the table full of breakfast, Ace couldn't help but drool. He then looked at Caesar eagerly: "Can I eat all of this?"

"of course."

Caesar looked at the other boy and said, "You should sit down and eat too. Um... what's your name?"

The boy was a little confused: "To be honest, the question of name has been bothering me for several days. I'm thinking of a pen name..."

"How's Deuce?"

Ace grabbed a piece of bread and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's similar to my name!"

"Okay, that's good. That's the name for us then."

Caesar nodded. It was good to have a name, and the name Deuce was originally given by Ace.

Deus: "..."

Do you want to ask my opinion?

Chapter 85 Life experience

Click, click…

Baji, Baji…

Caesar, Yamato, Bonnie, Ace and others were like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sweeping away all edible things within sight.

Robin held the teacup and looked at Ace with surprise.

"Looking at how much Mr. Ace eats, he must not be an ordinary person."

"Ah? Why do you say that?"

Ace was puzzled, he had been a big eater since he was a child.

"Because in this ocean, those who can eat are not necessarily strong, but those who are strong are definitely able to eat."

Caesar secretly praised Robin for bringing up this topic. He was racking his brains to think of a reason to bring the topic to Ace.

"Oh? So you're all very strong? Including this little kid?"

Ace looked at Bonnie with a grin, not realizing he was offending her at all.

Bonnie waved her fist, looking unhappy: "What little kid? I'm also very strong!"

"Hey, hey...don't you know?"

Deuce looked at Ace in surprise and whispered, "Mr. Caesar is a powerful man who can fight against the Four Emperors!"

"Yonko?"

Ace looked at Caesar in surprise: "Which Four Emperor? Whitebeard?"

"It's Kaido! He just fought a great battle with the Four Emperors Kaido a few months ago."

Deuce hastened to remind him, fearing that this seemingly unintelligent fellow in front of him would get bloodied on the spot due to his recklessness.

Ai suddenly became interested: "So, you are a pirate?"

Caesar shook his head. "I'm an ambitious man, but I'm currently recruiting companions as an explorer. However, the navy will probably consider me a pirate."

"I remember now. It was what we said in the room just now. Unify the world, right?"

Ace grinned. "That's a great ideal! But compared to that, I'm more concerned about who's stronger, you or Whitebeard?"

"Well...it's hard to say."

Caesar held a smoked goose leg in his hand and thought seriously.

"If it's a fight to the death, I'll definitely be the one who survives. Whitebeard is no longer in his prime. In a one-on-one situation, any opponent of the same level can kill him. But at the same time, he can also take away any strong opponent of the same level except me before he dies."

Ace looked inexplicably disappointed. "So, the strongest man in the world is no longer the strongest man in the world?"

"From my personal point of view, it's hard to say who is the strongest in the world right now, but it's definitely not Whitebeard."

Caesar shook his head slightly. "He's too old. While he's not completely unable to lift a blade, he's definitely exhausted after a life-or-death battle. The reason this title hasn't changed hands is because no one wants to face a dying, furious Whitebeard."

"Whitebeard values ​​his family the most. He has no interest in great treasures or anything like that. Otherwise, given his relationship with Roger, he would have landed in Raftel long after Roger's death. Normally, as long as his people are left alone, he won't confront him."

"Relationship? What's the relationship between the two of them?" Ace asked.

"They are friends, I guess. They appreciate each other. The reason Roger was able to become the Pirate King was because Whitebeard lent him a key crew member."

Caesar asked with interest: "But these are still quite far away for you. Do you want to become the Pirate King too?"

"No, I'm not interested in that."

A gloomy glint flashed in Ace's eyes. "But the reason I went out to sea was to form my own pirate group and live freely! Freer than anyone else!"

"Wow, so you have the same goal as us!"

Yamato was surprised and said, "Roger said the same thing, and so did Caesar!"

"Ok?"

Ace was slightly startled: "You know Roger?"

"I once found Kozuki Oden's navigation notes. He was a member of One Piece's crew. I can't say I know him well, but I have a general idea of ​​what kind of person he was."

Yamato said, pointing at Caesar: "But Caesar seems to know him very well."

Ace looked at Caesar, who smiled slightly: "You seem very curious about Roger?"

"Um... Generally speaking, everyone is very curious, right?"

Zeus also pricked up his ears and looked at Caesar tentatively: "But is this something I can say?"

"Is there anything you can't say?"

Caesar smiled and said, "But what do you want to hear about? His character? His strength?"

"There's no need to ask about his strength. He must be very strong, right? But what kind of person is he?"

Seeing that Caesar didn't seem angry, Zeus asked curiously.

Ace forgot about eating for a moment and stared at Caesar without blinking, with an expressionless face.

"Overall, he's a pretty good guy. He's generous and open-minded, values ​​his companions, and is quite chivalrous in his dealings with others. He lends a hand to the weak and doesn't prey on innocent people like other pirates do."

"But he's not without flaws, like his violent personality. If anyone says something bad about his comrades, he'll ruthlessly destroy them, even if the enemy is an entire nation's army..."

Caesar smiled and said, "Of course, this is not a shortcoming in my personal opinion. Because if I were in his shoes, if someone hurt Yamato, I might be even more extreme than him."

"hey-hey…"

Yamato grinned, very pleased with what Caesar said: "I won't allow others to bully Caesar!"

Caesar smiled knowingly and patted the white-haired dog girl on the head. "That's about it. What do you think? Isn't it completely different from the vicious image people say?"

"Indeed... I thought he was a pretty dangerous guy, but he turned out to be surprisingly good."

Deuce was puzzled: "But why would such a person start a great pirate era?"

"Who knows?"

Caesar said calmly, "Some things can't be answered at the moment. Only when the dust settles and we stand in the shoes of those who come after us can we understand their deeper meaning."

"Also... although I don't know exactly what the Great Secret Treasure is, there is one thing I am certain of: whoever possesses it will determine the fate of the world."

Deuce felt dizzy. There was too much information, and he was a little excited.

Ace also looked at Caesar in surprise. He didn't expect that the Roger described by Caesar was completely different from the Roger in the world.

Moreover, this was the only person among all the people he had met since he was a child who did not curse or hate Roger.

But he was still a little puzzled: "If that's the case... wouldn't Roger have done it a long time ago?"

"No, it seems he passed away a little too early, and Roger was already terminally ill at the time."

Caesar shook his head slightly. "In the end, he chose to surrender himself to his old rival Garp, using his own life to protect his companions from being hunted by the World Government. At the same time, in his final moments on the execution platform, he ushered in the Great Age of Pirates."

"Of course, the person who can find the great treasure in the end must be me, and only me."

"Because the necessary condition for reaching the final island is the ability to read historical texts, and the only person in the world who can read historical texts is... Ding Ding Ding Ding!"

Caesar smiled proudly and raised his hand towards Robin: "That's my girlfriend Robin!"

"Eh?!!!"

Ace and Deuce both looked shocked.

"Is there such a request?"

Ace's face turned dark: "Isn't this too shameless?"

"Why are you so excited? Mr. Caesar is a powerful man comparable to the Four Emperors, after all. There's nothing strange about this, right?"

Deuce looked at Yamato and said, "Compared to that, your girlfriend isn't... this person?"

"We are all Caesar's girlfriends!"

Yamato grinned, "Baby5 too, Robin too."

"Ka-"

Deuce and Ace looked at Caesar and said in unison, "Isn't this too enviable?!"

"Well... this is the tradition in Wano Country."

Caesar curled the corners of his mouth, feeling both embarrassed and proud.

"I must go to Wano Country in my lifetime."

Deuce's tone was terrifyingly calm, and beneath that calmness was an unshakable firmness.

"Better than that... to reach the final island, do we need that historical text?"

After a brief moment of envy, Ace came back to his senses and looked at Caesar anxiously: "Why do you have to have that thing?"

Caesar raised his eyebrows slightly: "Aren't you not interested in that thing?"

"This is different!"

Ace gritted his teeth and said, "Although I have no interest in that thing, but for... some reason, I must get there!"

"it's a pity…"

Caesar shook his head and laughed. "If you want to reach the final island, you must be able to decipher historical texts. I might as well tell you that there are four red historical texts in this world."

"Each of the four signposts corresponds to an island, and the final island is at the intersection of the four islands. Even if you don't consider the problem of interpretation, you still need to defeat me before that, because one of the signs is in my hands."

"But after all, your goal is just to reach the final island. How about getting on my ship?"

"Well... although I'm very grateful for saving my life, forget it. For some reason, I must form my own pirate group... and get there!"

Ace scratched his head, his face full of trouble: "Damn it, why did this happen to me?"

Caesar said cheerfully, "So... have you figured out how to solve the problem of the historical text? Are you going to snatch it from your savior?"

"That's too bad, I wouldn't do that!"

Ace said, with another awkward smile: "How about you give it to me?"

"It's a shame to be a pirate with such a thick skin. Why don't you learn how to do business from me?"

Caesar smiled playfully. "I don't know why, but you seem very anxious. You clearly have no interest in the great treasure, yet you insist on finding it. It's like... you're trying to prove something to someone."

Hearing this, Ai suddenly became alert and looked at Caesar with some caution.

"Speaking of which...what is your relationship with Garp?" Caesar asked with a smile.

"Old man..."

Ace looked at Caesar in surprise: "You know the old man? No, how do you know I have a relationship with him?"

"Because the old man showed off to me."

Caesar spread his hands lightly, as if to say that it was just as he expected. "He can be considered half of my training teacher. He boasted to me more than once about the talents of his two grandsons. One is called Ace and the other is called Luffy, right?"

Luffy…
