One Piece: Nico Robin Collection

Chapter 129 Deception
The aunt’s daughter is not good-looking.

At least that's how it seemed to Caesar.

From his aesthetic point of view, the only two who are acceptable are Brin and Smoothie.

Oh yes, there is also a random girl from Custard, Cracker’s sister. Although she is not very pretty, she looks like the most normal person in the Charlotte family.

Let’s talk about Brin first. Caesar doesn’t dislike the three eyes. In terms of appearance, Brin is not bad, but she is not particularly outstanding.

As for Smoothie, his long legs are nice, but his body proportions are too unbalanced.

It’s true that Caesar likes long legs, but Yamato’s legs are long enough in his opinion.

Not to mention Yamato, even Robin is 188cm tall and Baby5 is 181cm tall, so their legs are not considered short.

Although Caesar put some thought into it, he still had high standards when it came to finding women, otherwise he wouldn't have been single for so many years.

Apart from these three, there is really nothing worth seeing about Big Aunt's other daughters. The entire Charlotte family can be called a magical zoo.

So Caesar had only one attitude towards Big Mom’s marriage proposal: ugly rejection!
However, the aunt's attitude was somewhat beyond Caesar's expectations, which also made him have some other thoughts.

"So, you're going to refuse?"

The aunt's tone sounded a little unhappy, but there was no threat in it.

She knew Kaido very well. Since Caesar was able to break away from Kaido and kidnapped Kaido's daughter, it only meant that this kid's strength was no less than Kaido's.

They are all strong people of the same level, and Caesar only refused because he had no suitable marriage partner. Although Big Aunt was unhappy, she would not tear her face off over this matter.

"Well... I don't have any idea about marriage, but we can still reach cooperation in other areas."

Caesar said cheerfully, "For example, if there are things that are inconvenient for you to do, you can entrust them to me. The same goes for me. You occupy the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, right next to the Hundred Beasts Route, and I am on Paradise Sky Island. We can definitely help each other."

"Well, well... but how do we resolve the trust issue?"

"Excuse me, even if I agree to the marriage, can you trust me?"

Caesar chuckled: "What do I want to do? Do you think a woman can control me? You didn't become the Four Emperors by being naive, did you?"

"Um…"

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

The aunt was speechless. What Caesar said made sense. Even if the marriage really took place, a strong man of this level was not something a woman could control.

Not to mention that it’s hard to say which way his daughter will turn her elbow at that time. Isn’t Kaido a lesson for us?
"Actually, you don't need to be so defensive. After all, there's no conflict of interest between us. Both Sky Island and Wano Country are self-sufficient. I don't care about petty gains. Even if there's no marriage, having an ally of equal strength can't hurt, right?"

Caesar said calmly, "Why don't you listen to my proposal?"

The aunt was a little curious: "Oh? Tell me about it?"

"You also know that I founded a country and am the de facto monarch of Sky Island and Wano Country. Leaders are always above board... and I, for one, am not short of money!"

Caesar said leisurely, "But tell me, as a man with all the strength, power, and wealth, what do I want most?"

"Mmmm...woman?"

The aunt smiled, but also felt more relieved.

After all, the key point between the two was still women, which also proved that Caesar simply looked down on her daughters and had no other bad intentions.

However, it is normal for such a powerful and handsome young man to have high standards. She would have wanted to take part in the battle herself twenty years ago.

"I'm actually very curious, what kind of woman can catch your eye?"

"Vice Admiral Gion, Dor, Colonel Tina."

Caesar said in an inexplicable tone, "I like those kind of heroic women, and I don't mind using some tricks to achieve this. I can give you 1 billion per person! But you have to help me withstand the pressure from the navy. If you are willing to cooperate with me and play the hero to save the damsel in distress, I can add an additional 500 million! Of course... I won't admit a single word after we hang up the phone."

"Oh...you actually use this method on a woman?"

The aunt chuckled softly, "But... one billion? You're really willing to spend that much! Okay then! I agree! But a Lieutenant General isn't that easy to get, so you might have to wait a while."

"It's ok."

Caesar raised the corner of his lips slightly: "I hope we can... have a pleasant cooperation."

Card holder~
After hanging up the phone, the moment the Den Den Mushi's head drooped, Nami's slender figure suddenly fell from the sky and sat on Caesar's stomach.

The girl crossed her legs, looked at Caesar with a stern face and a gloomy expression.

"Are you looking for a woman again? Or the navy? Or using this method?"

"of course not."

Caesar raised his hand and pulled Namei into his arms: "I wouldn't use such means to pursue women. Although those women are all good beauties, the one I really like is Charlotte Katakuri."

"Who is that?"

Nami was suspicious.

"Charlotte Katakuri is the strongest member of Big Mom's pirate group, second only to Big Mom in strength. She is Big Mom's son." Robin put down the book and said lightly.

"man?"

Nami's eyes gradually became terrified, and Caesar raised his hand and hit her on the forehead with a knife.

"You're planning to team up with the Navy to take down Big Mom?" Robin asked. "No, I don't plan to get involved. At most, I'll deliver the finishing blow..."

Caesar chuckled, "These girls I'm talking about are all military beauties. They have no shortage of admirers within the navy. If Auntie really catches them, the male officers in the navy will be humiliated."

"Also, if I handle it properly, I can use this opportunity to gain a lot of recognition and favor from the navy, and at the same time I can destroy Big Mom and subdue Katakuri, killing three birds with one stone."

"So the cooperation you mentioned was a lie to her?" Nami's expression eased slightly when she heard that.

"of course."

Caesar snorted lightly, his disdain evident in his words.

"This woman is too stupid. She is not worthy of cooperating with me. The only one in the Charlotte family that I can look up to is Katakuri. He is also the owner of the Conqueror's Haki and his strength is not weaker than that of Kuma."

"By the way, what Katakuri cares about most are his brothers and sisters. Although Big Mom gave birth to many children, she is cruel and cold-blooded. She doesn't care about the life or death of the children at all. This is also what Katakuri dislikes the most."

Big Mom is relatively easy to deal with, she is the lowest among the Four Emperors.

The strongest talent among the four, but the weakest in terms of strength. If this talent were given to Kuina, she would have pierced the Grand Line...

Nami was still a little confused: "So what does this have to do with you gaining the favor of the navy?"

"We will definitely face the navy later."

Caesar explained, "I mentioned to Vice Admiral Tsuru that I wanted to recruit the navy and acknowledge the pursuit of justice within the navy. Therefore, although we have different positions, we have blurred the distance between us."

"For example, in the eyes of someone like Kuzan, although we are his enemies in terms of identity, we are fellow travelers with similar values ​​and pursuits as the navy. We are not their true enemies, which is why he has no intention of fighting us at all."

"What I need to do is to continue to spread this concept within the navy. Once this concept becomes the default attitude within the navy, once an officer is captured by us, they won't be too resistant to my recruitment and won't feel any psychological burden when joining us. On the contrary, they will quickly convince themselves to serve me."

"Is this… psychology?"

Robin was a little curious: "You also study psychology?"

"No, but I have studied dog training," Caesar quipped.

"You...are really insidious."

Nami couldn't help but complain, "But is this method really feasible? A simple phone call can make her confront the navy?"

"Just give it a try. Even if it doesn't work, I won't suffer any loss."

Caesar didn't mind. Even if the aunt didn't do it, he would find someone else to do it.

The World Government is a bunch of good-for-nothings. Once he takes out the money, they will probably rush to sell out their teammates.

As for Big Mom, she will die sooner or later. Caesar only hopes that her death will be more valuable so that he can maximize his benefits.

At the same time, the new world, the world.

The moment she hung up the phone, the aunt looked at the stern figure sitting with legs crossed in the corner of the room.

"Mmmm... Did you hear everything, Katakuri?"

"Yes, Mom..."

Katakuri's voice was low, as if he was dissatisfied: "You arrogant fellow, actually questioning the appearance of my sisters."

That being said, Katakuri still felt inexplicably relieved that he didn't have to sacrifice his sister's freedom for a marriage with an unknown outcome.

"There's nothing I can do about it. He's already this capable at this age. I used to be even more arrogant than him. Well, well, well..."

The aunt grinned and didn't dwell on it anymore: "But what do you think of that guy's proposal?"

"…feasible."

Katakuri thought for a moment and said, "The only problem is that we don't know what kind of person he is. We can't rule out the possibility that he is deliberately trying to lead us into a confrontation with the navy."

"No, don't worry." The aunt said nonchalantly.

So what if we face the navy?

After so many years of dominating the New World, hasn't she encountered enough navy?

Although the New World is divided among the Four Emperors, once the navy is dispatched, it is hard to say what will happen to Whitebeard and Shanks, but Kaido will definitely not stand idly by.

Moreover, there are more than just Four Emperors in the New World. There are also many great pirates like Wang Zhi of Beehive Island.

"Just like that brat said, there's no conflict of interest between us, and they're just a few pretty marines."

"The Taotu is quite powerful, and it's not easy to defeat him."

Katakuri thought for a moment and said, "As for the other two, they're not that difficult. However, since Caesar said he won't admit this, it means we still need to consider the counterattack from the navy."

"After all, it's over 3 billion, it's not that easy to get."

The aunt smiled cunningly: "But our ability is limited, so 2 billion is enough. Remember to bring your camera phone bug, it can be considered a small handle."
