One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Robin explained: "Doflamingo has a man under his command who has the ability of the Childlike Fruit. Once someone is touched, they will be turned into a toy. Once someone is turned into a toy, others will lose their memory of that person."

“Ah…how cruel!”

Nami covered her mouth and exclaimed softly: "Doesn't the World Government care about this kind of method?"

"Why bother?"

Robin shook her head and laughed, "Do you know how much Celestial Gold Doflamingo pays every year? Not to mention he's one of the Shichibukai. The World Government doesn't care about the lives of the people. As long as those Celestial Dragons can maintain their rule, even if half of the civilians die, they won't care."

"Is that so..."

Deuce frowned. "Are the other Shichibukai also such villains?"

"There's good and bad."

At the end of the song, Caesar put down his guitar and joined the conversation happily.

"Among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the one with the best character is undoubtedly Sea Knight Jinbe. Even though he's a fishman, he's definitely a different type of person from Arlong and his gang who once occupied Nami's hometown."

"Then there's Hawkeye Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman. Although he's aloof and obsessed with swordsmanship, he's actually cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He enjoys a quiet life alone. As long as you don't provoke him, you'll be fine."

"Every one of the remaining guys is a villain and a scumbag, but relatively speaking, Empress Hancock and Moonlight Moriah pose less of a threat."

Nami looked at Caesar suspiciously: "You say that... isn't it because the Empress is beautiful?"

"No, the Empress is actually the leader of the Amazon Lily Kingdom, a land of women. They live in the Calm Belt, and their people are tough and value the use of force. They have their own currency system, and their raids are mainly for survival supplies, but they also hunt sea beasts."

"As for Gekko Moriah, he is the user of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit. He likes to cut out other people's shadows and stuff them into corpses to make zombies. Since the shadow will disappear when a person dies, he basically won't kill his opponents."

"What about Hanafza?"

Deuce asked curiously, "I saw in the newspaper a while ago that he was expelled?"

"Ah... yes, come to think of it, this matter has something to do with me."

Caesar smiled and said, "I hired Marco, one of Whitebeard's men, to escort me to the New World to find the Devil Fruit, but he was captured by Kaido. Hanafza and Kaido are good brothers, so Whitebeard and his men captured Hanafza to force Kaido to release me. In the end, I redeemed him myself..."

"Have you seen Whitebeard?"

As soon as he heard the name Whitebeard, Ai immediately jumped out without restraint.

"Hey, are you awake?"

Caesar waved, "Come and have something to eat. We are hosting a welcome party for Zeus."

"You joined them?"

Ace looked at Deuce with some regret: "What a shame, I was thinking of inviting you to be my companion."

"You should consider the bet first..."

Deuce looked at Ace helplessly: "Now the odds between you and the Captain are 0:1!"

"It doesn't matter, I will definitely win!"

Ace grinned and plopped down next to Deuce, looking at Caesar curiously, "So, Caesar, you've seen Whitebeard, right? Have you ever fought him?"

Caesar shook his head: "No, I didn't have the ability at that time."

"Come to think of it, I was very curious during the day..."

The usually silent Big Bear suddenly looked at Ace and asked, "What does the S in the tattoo on your shoulder mean?"

"This..."

Ace glanced at the tattoo on his shoulder, his eyes dimmed. "He was one of my sworn brothers, but he's dead."

Big Bear: "Is his name Sabo?"

Ace was shocked: "How did you know?!"

"Back in the Goa Kingdom, Long rescued a blond boy who was seriously injured in an artillery attack. However, when he woke up, he had lost his memory. Only his belongings were marked with his name."

Daxiong said calmly, "He has now become a senior cadre of the revolutionary army."

"You mean...Sabo is still alive?"

Ace opened his mouth in disbelief, his eyes reddened, and tears instantly flowed uncontrollably.

"He's still alive? In the Revolutionary Army?!"

"Yes, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be talking about the same person."

Big Bear nodded and said, "I heard from Long that Sabo was bombarded because he encountered a Celestial Dragon ship while sailing."

Ace's eyes were red. "I remember it was a guy called World Noble."

Big Bear nodded: "That's right, the Celestial Dragons are the so-called world aristocrats."

"dragon…"

Robin was surprised. "Is that who I thought he was? The leader of the revolutionary army, the worst criminal in the world?"

"Vicious?"

Caesar scoffed: "Maybe..."

Big Bear was a little embarrassed. He knew that Caesar looked down on Long, but he was still his friend after all. He couldn't say anything and had to change the subject.

"I also noticed it from your habits during daytime battles. The two of you fight in a very similar way, but with slightly different styles. Plus, Sabo is also from the East Sea, which makes me think of the connection between you two."

Big Bear laughed and said, "But Sabo has Dragon's guidance, so his current strength should be much stronger than yours."

"Nani?"

The sadness on Ace's face instantly disappeared, and he looked shocked: "That guy actually walked in front of me?"

"It's just a slight technical lead. As for your physical fitness, the difference between you two isn't too big. If you have a good teacher, you'll be able to catch up quickly."

Big Bear smiled gently and said, "By the way, the person with the most powerful strength and the most profound understanding of cultivation that I have ever met is sitting right here!"

Ace looked at Caesar, who nodded happily.

"That's right! It's me!"

Caesar spread his hands with a smug look on his face. "You want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Tsk, what a stinking fart..."

Ace looked unhappy, but he could do nothing about it.

"Now the score is 1:0. You still have ninety-nine battles to fight until you lose the bet."

Caesar said cheerfully, "Of course, I won't ask you to fulfill the agreement. I wouldn't mind even if you sneak away after we dock."

"I'm not someone who can't stand losing! Don't underestimate me!"

Ace grabbed a piece of barbecue and stuffed it into his mouth, looking very angry.

"It's only a hundred games. I'm sure I'll win! Just wait!"

…………

Bang!

Early the next morning.

Ace, who had been lying in ambush outside Caesar's room, waiting to attack him when he came out, was knocked away by the fist raised by the other party when he stretched.

Looking at Ace, whose head was stuck in the ceiling and whose body was swaying as if hanging, Caesar laughed.

"Hey, good morning, Ace, it's 2:0 now!"

"Ah, Sunny Doll?"

Behind Caesar, Robin walked out of the room and couldn't help but smile at the sight.

“%￥#@*…”

Pulling his head down from the ceiling, Ace sat down on the ground, not caring about whether it was embarrassing or not. He wiped it roughly and stood up again, looking at Caesar eagerly.

"By the way, Caesar, what was that technique you guys were talking about yesterday...Sabo being ahead of me?"

"Want to know?"

Caesar chuckled and was about to say something when the loudspeaker Den Den Mushi in the corridor suddenly roared, and Barto's voice echoed throughout the ship.

"Everyone, pay attention! There's a naval ship approaching at ten o'clock!"

"Ahaha, looks like we'll have to wait and see."

Caesar waved his hand and said, "Let's go and take a look first."

"Damn it! At a time like this?"

Ace looked frantic and hurried to catch up.

Everyone came to the deck, and in the distance a dog-headed warship was breaking through the waves.

On the deck of the warship, an old man with white hair and beard, who looked energetic, crossed his arms and stared at the crowd with a wide grin.

After seeing the people on the warship clearly, Ace slapped the back of his head: "Ah! Old man?!"

"That's... Vice Admiral Garp?!"

Nami also exclaimed: "Why is Vice Admiral Garp here?"

"It's not just the Vice Admiral."

Big Bear looked behind Garp.

There were also three oppressive figures standing there. The one in the lead was wearing a light blue suit, with curly hair and his hands in his pockets. He was Aokiji who had just been seen some time ago.

To his right is a swordsman in a brown-gray suit, a top hat, and a navy cloak.

The last one was a tall man. The woman had a beautiful face and a geisha hairstyle, and she also had a long sword on her waist.

"Garp, Aokiji, Bogart, Peach Rabbit..."

Caesar squinted his eyes as he surveyed the men on the warship: "What a magnificent lineup."

"Blue Pheasant..."

Deuce was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened: "Admiral Aokiji?!!"

"Eh? Admiral?"

Nami held her face in her hands, horrified: "The Navy's strongest fighter?!"

"An admiral, an admiral candidate, a naval hero, and the naval hero's adjutant."

Big Bear looked at the people on the warship with a calm expression: "What a magnificent lineup."

Robin nodded: "Indeed, if we are not careful, the whole army might be wiped out."

"Don't say such horrible things, Sister Robin!"

Nami's legs trembled: "It's better for us to escape quickly, right?"

"escape?"

Caesar rubbed his chin and said, "I'm afraid we can't escape. Aokiji is the user of the Freeze-Freeze Fruit. He can easily freeze hundreds of miles of sea. The ship will be frozen."

"Nani?!"

"Don't panic, it's not a big problem."

Caesar waved his hand, then jumped to the bow, casually pulled out a loud speaker, and waved in the direction of Garp: "Hey - long time no see! Vice Admiral Garp!"

"Hahahaha! I didn't expect this kid still remembered me?"

Garp grinned and laughed: "Long time no see! Caesar boy! I didn't expect that in just a few years, you have become a formidable enemy of our navy! It turns out that my teaching level is excellent! Hahahaha..."

"So you are here to arrest me?" Caesar asked loudly.

"No, the Navy has no intention of becoming your enemy!"

Garp shouted, "But I heard there's a girl named Nico Robin on your ship, right? She's a wanted criminal by the World Government. If you hand her over to the Navy, I'll let you go."

"Let us go?"

Caesar jumped off the bow, pulled out a knife and put it across Ace's neck: "Vice Admiral Garp, take a good look, who is this next to me?!"

Ace: "..."

"what?"

Cap narrowed his eyes, trying to identify the figure next to Caesar. The moment he saw the young face clearly, his old face suddenly turned pale and his eyes bulged.
