One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Yamato quickly stood up: "I'm going too!"

The two of them walked all the way to the main building. In the spacious and huge room, Kaido was leaning on the couch drinking. When he saw the two of them coming together, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Huh? I didn't expect you two to get together."

"Ah, by chance, I never thought Yamato would be your daughter."

Caesar nodded. He found that every time he saw Kaido, he was almost always drinking.

"daughter?"

Kaido looked at Yamato strangely.

Based on his understanding of Yamato, he should call himself a man.

"That's right!"

Yamato slammed the mace in his hand to the ground and said proudly, "I've decided! For now, I'd rather be a woman! A woman who is stronger and better than a man!"

"After that, I will go to sea with Caesar! As for becoming Kozuki Oden or something like that, I will make a decision after I have seen the world one day!"

"Um?!"

Kaido sat up straight and looked at Yamato in surprise: "Are you...are you serious?"

"Ah! Seriously!"

Yamato nodded confidently, then frowned again: "But there is one thing I will never change, that is one day I will defeat you! Let Wano Country be founded!"

"Hmph, still no change..."

Hearing this, Kaido was silent for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Ah ha ha ha! If you can do it, just give it a try! You stupid daughter!"

"daughter…"

Hearing this address, Yamato's cheeks puffed up, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

She was used to hearing Kaido calling her son, so it was a bit strange for her to suddenly call him daughter.

Before she could get used to the name, Kaido leaned back on the couch and glanced at Caesar with an inexplicable look: "But why did you change your mind? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to this guy?"

"certainly not!"

Yamato said seriously, "We agreed that one day we would go to sea together."

"Hmph, whatever you want! Regardless of whether you want to go out to sea or become Kozuki Oden, be prepared to die! I won't show mercy!"

Kaido snorted coldly and turned to look at Caesar: "I just heard from Jin that you have mastered the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement? Show me how to use it!"

Caesar nodded, slowly closed his eyes, and tried to find that domineering and endless feeling again.

boom--

The domineering aura erupted again, and the indescribable domineering intention once again followed Caesar's will and clung to his right fist.

Dark red thunder exploded, and Caesar used the Domineering Entanglement for the third time today!

Compared with the previous two times, this time the pre-swing is shorter and the control of the Conqueror's Haki seems to be more skillful.

"Ahhhhhh... Such a weak Domineering Haki."

Kaido laughed loudly, and looked at Caesar with more admiration: "But you are also a freak. You actually comprehended the more difficult Conqueror's Haki before the Armament Haki. Even if you look at the entire ocean, there are only a handful of guys who can do this. Those people are all the world's top strongmen..."

"Now that you two have met, I suggest you settle down a bit. How about I marry Yamato to you? Then we'll be a family. With your talent, it won't be long before you're on equal footing with me! Then the whole New World will be ours!"

Yamato's face darkened: "No way! Who wants to get married?"

"Oh? Didn't you just want to elope with this guy?"

"It's going out to sea! Going out to sea! Asshole dad!"

"It's almost the same!"

Kaido looked at Caesar expectantly: "How's it going, kid?"

Caesar spread his hands and sighed regretfully: "No, although it sounds tempting, I don't intend to give up the whole forest for a tree. I still want to find a few more women."

Upon hearing this, Kaido and Yamato tilted their heads at the same time: "???"

"This kind of thing doesn't matter, right?"

Yamato thought for a moment and said, "Even if we two really get married, you can find another woman, Caesar? Aren't all men like this?"

"Which side are you from, idiot!"

Hearing this, Caesar's eyes widened suddenly and he was greatly shaken!

Chapter 9 Planning

Can you find another woman after getting married?

Are all men like this?

To be honest, I, Caesar, like traditional women like you!

When Caesar heard Yamato's words, his heart skipped a beat and he almost called Kaido "father-in-law" on the spot.

Of course, it was just a momentary excitement.

Struggles of position can be life-and-death, and should not be taken lightly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore..."

Caesar shook his head. "What did Mr. Kaido ask me to do? Just to ask about my training progress?"

"Hmph... arrogant boy."

Kaido glared, very unhappy with Caesar's rejection: "No matter what you think in your heart, at least you are still my subordinate now. Calculating the time, it's time for you to go out and show your face."

Caesar suddenly became interested: "Going to sea? Fighting or plundering?"

Kaido sneered: "What difference does it make? You are a pirate."

"That's a huge difference. After all, I was a big boss before. I can't afford to go out to sea just to grab a few melons and dates. I can't afford to lose face..."

When the topic of money came up, Caesar suddenly assumed a more assertive attitude. He spread his hands out elegantly and nonchalantly, "Remember, there's a World Bank branch in Dressrosa? How about I personally donate another 10 or 8 billion to the group? That would be much faster than robbing them."

Kaido was stunned when he heard this: "Aren't you going to transfer your assets to me? Where did the money come from?"

"Industry is industry, and deposits are deposits."

Caesar shook his head slightly. "I've said before that money is a means, not an end. Its greatest use lies in exchanging resources and investing in cycles. This is also the fundamental reason why the rich remain richer and the poor remain poorer."

"Please put it simply, I don't understand."

Kaido snorted coldly. Although he was smart, it was a bit difficult for him, a rough guy who only swung a stick, to understand what economics was.

"For example, with the same 100 million Baileys, you would use it to hold a banquet, while I would use it to start a business. The profits from the business would then be used for investment. Slowly, this money would grow like a snowball. Even if I did nothing, there would be a steady stream of wealth flowing into my pocket."

"Perhaps you'll say, if you don't have money, then just rob. But manpower is ultimately limited. And as you continue to plunder, more and more merchants will avoid this unstable sea area, and the money you can rob will naturally decrease."

"Do you know why the World Government never worries about threats from pirates?"

Caesar chuckled and raised his index finger, pointing at Kaido: "Because pirates pose no threat to them at all. Even if they let you dominate the New World, you will be destroyed in a few decades. They won't need to take action at all. On the contrary, it is precisely because of the existence of the Four Emperors that the government has maintained the stability of their rule."

"Is this so..."

Hearing Caesar's words, Kaido was unexpectedly calm: "So, the economy is important?"

Caesar smiled and said, "Of course! It's the simplest logic. The richer the people are, the higher the taxes will be. The higher the taxes, the richer the country will be, and the richer the people will be. It's a virtuous cycle."

"If you were to kill Kurozumi Orochi now, declare that you were previously bewitched by his magic, shut down that pointless seastone processing factory, and then declare that this country is now under the protection of the Beasts Pirates, allowing everyone to live and work in peace, encouraging the people to go out to sea for trade, and vigorously developing agricultural resources."

"With the financial support of a country, their wealth will increase several times within two years. By then, even if Kozuki Oden were to be resurrected, the people of Wano Country would simply ask him to die again."

"Oh?"

When Kaido heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to be interested.

Are the Beasts Pirates poor?

To be honest, with the support of Kurozumi Orochi, living conditions can be said to be quite comfortable, but it is only limited to maintaining operations.

Big money?

No!

If he really had money, Kaido wouldn't have to go to so much trouble to find devil fruits. He could just throw out 10 billion. Not to mention the ancient mythical beast species, he could at least get a few ordinary species easily.

Caesar's words touched his heart.

"Hey, wait a minute Caesar, this isn't right?"

Yamato on the side felt something was wrong the more he listened: "The Kozuki family is the legitimate heir to Wano Country!"

“Whoever allows the people to live a good life is the orthodox one.”

Caesar scoffed. "Which regime on this ocean wasn't established through violence? Who stipulated that only members of the Kozuki family could hold that position?"

"Ah, ha, ha! That's great! Caesar boy!"

Kaido burst into laughter: "According to my original plan, I wanted Yamato to be the general, but unfortunately this idiot only wants to become Kozuki Oden..."

"Hey—Caesar!"

Yamato pulled Caesar aside and said, "In this case, what should we do with those old retainers of the Kozuki family?"

"What do you mean?"

Caesar feigned confusion: "Isn't their goal to ensure a good life for the people? When everyone has enough to eat and a comfortable life, what else could they be dissatisfied with?"

"History has already given the Kozuki family a chance, but Oden himself didn't cherish it. Is he going to let the people repeat the same mistakes? Or do they really not care about the lives of the people at all, and are simply fighting for power? But this behavior is no different from Kurozumi Orochi, right?"

"this…"

Yamato felt like something was wrong: "No, wait a minute, Kaido didn't do those things because of Kurozumi Orochi's instigation!"

"What do you care if he is or not?"

Caesar looked at Yamato with a look of disappointment. "Wano Country is now ruled by Kurozumi Orochi. The people can't even get enough to eat. You and I don't have the ability to change the status quo anytime soon. Are we going to let them starve to death? If it were Oden, whom you admire, do you think he would just watch the people starve to death?"

Yamato froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Will Oden watch the people starve to death?

will not!

Although she has figured out that Kozuki Oden is not a qualified monarch and is so naive that he can be said to be stupid, but at least he is benevolent and righteous!

Yamato tried to convince himself.

But when she thought of what Caesar had said before, that the other party had abandoned their country and went to sea regardless of everything, as well as the difficult survival of the people of Wano over the years, she suddenly became a little uncertain.

Yamato pursed his lips, but ultimately did not refute.

Noticing the other party's reaction, Caesar raised the corners of his lips slightly and laughed in his heart.

He doesn't look down on the Kozuki clan at all.

Kozuki Oden - the user of the Touching Fruit, has a bunch of useless people under him. They can't do anything except being grateful for Oden's kindness. When talking about Oden, they want to cry eight hundred times!

As for his son Momonosuke...

Momonosuke must die, there is nothing more to say.

Cowardly, lustful...

If he wasn't worried about someone using his reputation as a legitimate Kozuki leader to cause trouble, this kind of trash wouldn't even be worth killing...

The Kozuki clan must be eradicated!

Of course, he couldn't do this kind of thing, otherwise it would only create a rift between Yamato and him.

This silly girl is very stubborn. Her ideas cannot be changed in a short time. She can only be changed little by little imperceptibly.

It’s just right for Kaido to do it!

When the other party has almost conquered Wano Country, he will come and defeat Kaido and pick the ripe fruit of Wano Country...

"You two little brats! Do you think my observation Haki is just for show?!"

On the couch, Kaido saw the two people whispering and started to quarrel in annoyance.

No matter how strong he is, he is still a human being after all. It is impossible for him to say that he has no feelings for his daughter Yamato.

But now, a yellow-haired guy like Caesar suddenly appeared. Seeing his daughter being fooled by others, he felt a little jealous.
