I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

“It’s just a lesson,” Cersei said coldly. “Don’t worry, he’ll be back to normal in an hour.”

"Or are you trying to slack off too?"

Luo: ...

Thinking back to what happened before, it's clear that Bepo and his friends were slacking off.

Moreover, Bepo and his team have indeed been somewhat lax lately.

In addition, he estimated that he was no match for them.

So,

Luo gave Bepo and the others a look that said, "Good luck to you all," and went back to training.

"Hmph hmph," Bepo the pig rubbed anxiously against Law's trouser leg, but Law could not help.

An hour later, Bepo, having recovered, shivered upon seeing his supervisor, Cecilia.

Without saying a word, they immediately began special training.

That's incredibly proactive.

Cersei nodded in satisfaction.

It's only because they're her brother's companions; otherwise, she wouldn't mind letting them try the witch's potion.

Chapter 81. Pirate Version of Project Prism

81.

Click.

It was so fast that it was almost impossible to react; it happened in an instant.

A figure had already appeared before them.

Waves of freezing air descended upon the target, transforming into indestructible ice that invaded every part of the target's body, completely enveloping it.

In an instant, a lifelike statue appeared before my eyes.

Frozen capsules.

"It seems the partner you found this time isn't very good after all, Nico Robin," Aokiji said calmly.

A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

I don't know who it's for.

Did I say I would keep an eye on you?

"You've been too impulsive lately."

Beside her, Nico Robin looked nervous, her body trembling slightly.

There was an unconcealable fear in my heart.

General, Aokiji.

It's that same nightmarish shadow again.

"Don't bully my friends."

A conspicuous red light began to burn. The ice sculpture melted the instant the red light appeared; the water vaporized before it even dripped to the ground.

Less than a second later, Dick broke through the ice and walked up to Nico Robin.

"You've finally shown up, Aokiji. I've been waiting for you for so long," Dick said with a smile.

Since the Buster Call of Ohara, Aokiji has been keeping a close eye on Nico Robin.

From the day he took Nico Robin in, Dick knew that he would inevitably meet Aokiji one day.

Perfect timing, Dick had been waiting for Aokiji's arrival.

For this reason, he made a special trip to the Long Chain Islands.

As for why he knew Aokiji was coming, it was because of Cersei.

The Den Den Mushi Queen.

After consuming the Human-Human Fruit and receiving Dick's Flame of Evolution, Cersei not only experienced an explosive increase in strength but also in abilities.

It also possesses boundless potential.

As the queen of Den Den Mushi, Cersei is born with the ability to control all Den Den Mushi.

After eating the fruit, it became the emperor of the entire Den Den Mushi clan.

Cersei emanates a signal that can only be sensed by Den Den Mushi; it is the aura of an emperor.

The coverage area is currently a radius of 300 kilometers.

Within a 300-kilometer radius, all Den Den Mushi that sense the signal source will accept Cersei's commands.

If necessary, he would transmit the content of his ongoing conversations and the footage he was monitoring to Cersei without reservation.

This is the pirate version of Project Prism.

Dick hopes that one day, Cersei will be able to control all the Den Den Mushi (snail communication devices) in the world at the same time.

Of course, due to the amount of data and computation involved, Cersei will only extract keywords for monitoring.

If certain keywords are mentioned during Den Den Mushi communication, or if some familiar figures appear, information will be automatically transmitted to Cersei.

Just a few days ago, Cersei saw Aokiji's face, and upon closer inspection, she realized it was a phone call between Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Admiral Aokiji.

"You knew I was coming?" Aokiji asked, slightly puzzled, then seemed to remember something and began to understand.

That's true, after all...

“Dick, a nature-type, wields magical flames,” Kuzan said calmly.

“I know you have a deep-seated hostility towards the Celestial Dragons.”

"You're no match for me. How about this: hand over Nico Robin, and I'll pretend I never saw you."

Dick fell silent.

Not for any other reason, but because of Aokiji's understanding of his own intelligence.

Isn't that a bit too much?

Is the World Government's intelligence network really that strong?

That doesn't make sense either. If they knew, why didn't they mention themselves at all during the Warring States period?

Nico Robin glanced nervously at Dick.

Seeing Dick remain silent, her face paled, but she didn't say anything.

Sure enough, a jinx like her, a demon, didn't deserve any allies.

Nico Robin chuckled to herself, wondering what she had been expecting.

Did the previous respect give her a false impression? Or did she think that Dick, who knew history, was a good person?

Sure enough, she was still too naive.

“I’ll go with you,” Nico Robin said in a low voice.

“Wait,” Dick grabbed Robin’s hand.

In a short time, her delicate little hands were covered in sweat.

"Who said I let you go?" Dick scoffed. "Robin, I told you before, we're partners."

"Among our companions, we will never abandon or give up on each other."

"If he wants to take you away, he must take my body with him."

Dick smiled broadly.

A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, revealing her striking eyebrows and bright eyes.

Bathed in sunlight, that smile was breathtaking, captivating both time and space, and warming Nico Robin's heart.

That is, concern.

Nico Robin froze, tears welling in her eyes, as if sand had gotten into them.

Dick looked at Aokiji.

"You really think you can just hand over Robin and let me go?"

Aokiji was taken aback and gave Dick a meaningful look.

"certainly,"

Ice Age.

With a whoosh, the temperature dropped by tens of degrees, and numerous solid ice crystals appeared everywhere.

Within a radius of 3 kilometers, the island was instantly transformed into a frozen wasteland.
