"I came, I saw, I conquered!"

"Of course, that's what the other Caesar said. You might not believe me, but I just wanted to get a girl from the beginning. Why did you have to mess with me?"

As Caesar sat on the throne of the sky, looking at the corpses of dragons scattered on the ground at his feet, he said this.

"Emperor? Perhaps, but I prefer the title of Collector."

"What do you want to collect? The world, of course!"

Traveling through the world of pirates, but having no talent or strength?

What? There's a cheat? It's fine then!

What? Economic cheat? Collector system?

What the hell... is it really useful?

Once I swallow a fruit, my life will be in my own hands!

Fruit? Tailed Beast? Zanpakutō?

Oh my! It’s all oh my!

Chapter 1 Golden Caesar

Grand Route, New World, Sleeping Ancient Town.

Rusty and weathered anchors were inserted obliquely into the cracked docks, crows were croaking hoarsely on the dead beech trees, and weathered broken bones could occasionally be seen on the deserted and dilapidated streets.

Caesar, dressed in a suit and tie, walked on the streets of the small town. His high-end leather shoes made the gravel under his feet creak, and his exquisite and expensive clothes seemed a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

Following behind him were a man and a woman. The woman was tall, with healthy wheat-colored skin, and was wearing a black dress. She was looking around with an inquiring look.

The man had a blond punk hairstyle and a tattoo on his chest, and looked a bit ruffian-like.

The woman's name is Nico Robin, a historian, and the bounty on her head is 7900 million berries.

The man's name is Marco. He is the captain and doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates. He is also the de facto second-in-command of the pirate group, and his bounty is in the billions.

According to the original plot of the story, at this time, one of the two should be following Whitebeard to roam the New World, while the other should be struggling to survive under the pursuit of the World Government.

And Caesar...

There shouldn't have been a Caesar in this world.

But like most stories - he is a time traveler.

After traveling through eighteen years, from a lonely orphan to a business tycoon who is as wealthy as a country, he did not put in any effort at all, but relied on the cheating of the golden finger.

Caesar's cheat code is called the Collection System. As the name suggests, it allows you to collect things, and Caesar can also get various rewards by achieving some collection achievements.

With the help of his golden finger, Caesar quickly completed the primitive accumulation of capital.

He can even say to anyone: I am so poor that all I have left is money!

This may sound a bit pretentious, but it is indeed the truth.

After all, this is the world of pirates. For those who live in this world, nothing is more precious than power.

Unfortunately, Caesar was just an ordinary mortal compared to those monsters who swam alone through the doldrums and traveled the Grand Line in a small boat.

Even if he put in two hundred times the effort, even if he trained crazily day and night, he could only barely reach the level of a major in the Marine Headquarters. Converted into a pirate bounty, it would be only tens of millions. If he really faced those monsters that roamed the world, he would probably not be able to survive even a single encounter.

Even the golden finger that came with it could not directly give him power.

If I have to say what is outstanding about her, her appearance is the only thing that can be considered outstanding...

As a time traveler, Caesar has no ambitions. He has no interest in things like One Piece or the Navy King conquering the world.

After traveling through life, Caesar only wants to live forever, live a carefree and comfortable life, and by the way, complete the main task of the system - to collect the whole world.

However, in this turbulent and chaotic sea, sometimes being alive is a luxury. Without the support of strength, no matter how much wealth you have, it is just a castle in the air.

Therefore, Caesar, who was born with deficiencies, set his sights on the devil fruit.

Among the currently known fruits, the Thunder Fruit is on the Sky Island, and he cannot go up there. Even if he did, Caesar has no idea whether Enel has eaten the fruit at this time.

It doesn't matter if you make a wasted trip, but it would be too unfair if you end up dying after traveling thousands of miles.

Moreover, judging from his own conditions, the Thunder Fruit is not suitable for him. Although it can greatly increase the lower limit of his combat power, considering Caesar's current physical fitness, it is still unknown to what extent he can exert the power of this fruit.

In comparison, the improvement in physical fitness brought about by the animal-type fruit is real.

But Caesar doesn't think highly of ordinary animal-type creatures, and he feels that the ancient species are not so good. The mythical beast species are pretty good, but of the currently known mythical beast species, except for Luffy and the little brother Pony behind him, the others are basically in the hands of Wano Country and the World Government.

There are one or two exceptions though...

For example, in the official game "One Piece Unlimited World R", there is the Animal-type Bat Fruit, Mythical Beast-type Vampire Fruit that was sleeping in the Sleeping Town and was eventually eaten by the Red Earl.

A fruit that only appears in games because its power is so abnormal...

It is said that the existence of this fruit in the main storyline extra game is still unknown, but Caesar asked around with the idea of ​​trying his luck and found that there is indeed a place called Shuigu Town in the New World.

And regarding this ancient town, there are indeed rumors of mysterious relics and treasures...

After receiving the news, Caesar did not hesitate at all. He used Berry to lead the way and contacted the Whitebeard Pirates. He specifically asked for Marco to escort them. After investing 3 billion berries, Whitebeard readily sent his eldest son Marco.

Xiao Ma Ge is a down-to-earth person. Under Caesar's massive money-throwing offensive, he patted his chest and said that he would follow him for the next few months.

With the support of Marco, Caesar did not rush to act. Instead, he went to the West Sea again and contacted Nicole Robin through the black market. He coaxed the woman onto the ship with the original text of history as a reward, and then set off for the New World.

After more than a month's sailing, Caesar finally set foot on the island.

"It's a complete ruin..."

Marco glanced around the deserted town. "Caesar, you've come all this way here. Are you planning on doing some construction?"

"of course not."

Caesar smiled. The two of them got along pretty well along the way, but for safety reasons, he did not tell anyone about the vampire fruit. He only said that they were going to explore a ruin.

"Marco, how far can your observation Haki cover?"

Marco understood what Caesar meant and sensed it. "Given the size of this island, it's no problem to occupy the entire island. We can be sure that there are only three of us on this island."

The three of them came on Marco's ship, with the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, which could help them avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble in this new world.

Before getting off the boat, Caesar specifically told Marco not to let anyone else follow him. Marco naturally wouldn't go against money.

"follow me…"

Caesar didn't say much, just waved his hand to signal the two to follow, and walked towards the depths of the island with big strides.

Looking out from the three people's position, there is a towering abandoned church in the center of the island. Judging from the plot in the game, if nothing unexpected happens, the vampire fruit should be in the area of ​​that church.

Passing through a dark and dense forest, there were some ghostly bat shadows flickering in the forest, and occasionally a red light flashed in the darkness.

"Lots of vampire bats."

Marco sensed the surrounding movements with his Observation Haki. "You two should be careful. These vampire bats carry a lot of viruses. If you get scratched, you're bound to get infected."

Thumping...

Just as he finished speaking, a huge bat suddenly rushed out of the dense forest and circled above the three people's heads.

Marco subconsciously raised his hand to drive it away, but saw the bat flapping its wings and landing in front of Caesar with a rustling sound.

The little claws on its wings scratched the ground, and it circled around Caesar. It raised its head, which looked like a puppy, sniffed at Caesar, and made a low growl, as if to express some kind of closeness.

"It seems to like you."

Robin crossed his arms and said abruptly, "Of course, it could also be that he likes your blood."

"Don't say such dangerous words so calmly..."

Caesar twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at the little guy in front of him, with a sense of excitement inexplicably rising in his heart.

It was mentioned in the original drama that the devil fruit seems to intentionally choose its host. So does this vampire bat in front of us also represent the will of the vampire fruit?

After thinking for a moment, Caesar tentatively asked, his tone polite and gentle: "Can you lead the way?"

Marco said in a teasing tone, "Hey, don't be silly. You don't really want this bat to lead you to what you want, do you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the bat actually fluttered up and flew up. After circling over the three people's heads, it flew towards the church.

"what?"

Marco's eyes widened when he saw this: "Is this reasonable?"

"Follow up quickly!"

Caesar hurriedly followed, and Marco and Robin followed closely behind, chasing the bat all the way.

Soon, after crossing a mottled cobblestone road, a dilapidated church appeared in front of the three people.

The church was completely empty, without even a statue. Black bats hung upside down on the old chandelier above, the paint on which was almost peeling off, licking their wings.

Caesar looked around and landed on the mottled murals on the wall. He turned to look at Robin and said, "Miss Robin, I'll trouble you here."

Robin nodded and looked at the mural on the wall.

In the mural, a figure with bat wings is particularly eye-catching. Although the wall is weathered, mottled and cracked, one can still make out the story it tells.

"I see. So, what Mr. Caesar is looking for should be the legendary vampire fruit, right?"

"Yes, what does the mural say?" Caesar asked curiously.

"It's nothing, just a story that happened here."

Robin explained, "Once upon a time, Shuigu Town was plagued by pirates due to its remote location and small territory. Later, a vampire fruit user came to protect the people. Because his fruit ability allowed him to maintain eternal youth by sucking blood, he was revered and worshipped by the locals."

Robin's expression suddenly grew heavy as he spoke. "Later, because their immortality abilities violated the divine realm, a group of angels in white attacked the vampires..."

"Angels in white? They're probably those CP0 guys, right?"

Marco scoffed, "It seems even the Celestial Dragons can't resist the allure of eternal youth."

Robin nodded. Her guess was the same as Marco's. "At the end of the story, the fruit was reborn on this island and hidden by a priest who had received a favor from the previous esper. He then built this church to prevent the World Government from finding the fruit."

Marco was puzzled: "But if the World Government sees this mural, won't it be directly exposed?"

"No, the information about the fruit's location is not directly recorded on it, but hidden in the mural..."

Robin shook his head. "These characters are constructed using the lines of a picture. They use a very ancient hieroglyphic script. The records are very obscure. Even if I had some knowledge of this kind of script, I would have almost overlooked it."

"These characters are: sun and moon, rotation, house, and earth. Ancient people used the movement of the sun and moon to describe the passage of time, so the translated meaning is - underground of the bell tower."

The three people who found the clue came to the clock tower and searched for a long time before they found the mechanism leading to the underground.

Rumble…

As the mechanism was triggered, the floor tiles rumbled and a dark tunnel appeared in front of the three people.

Caesar threw a torch into the tunnel, and the two people next to him immediately looked at him in surprise.

"Is it normal for me to carry a torch with me when I come to explore the ruins?"

Xiao Ma Ge: “That makes sense!”

"..."
