One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

She then turned to look at Caesar and said casually, "The Thunder Fruit is too valuable, so I asked you to be generous. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to take such a valuable item. But I'm only interested in the Thunder Fruit."

"Yeah, I won't misunderstand."

Caesar nodded and looked at her with a smile: "So you only kiss me, right?"

"you shut up!"

Nami blushed. Although that was indeed what she meant, you said it so bluntly. Don’t you think I have any face?

With a light hum, Nami turned around and went to check the treasure with light steps.

"Call this guy poor, but this 10 billion can buy a small country. Call this guy rich...he doesn't even have a single devil fruit!"

After searching Crocodile's treasure again and again, Caesar sighed helplessly.

Look at Hanafzai!

Not only does he have several devil fruits, he is also generous enough to give not only fruits but also a woman.

Look at Crocodile again!

They are both Seven Warlords of the Sea, so why is there such a big gap between them?

After leaving the underground ruins, the group, having satisfied their treasure hunt, excitedly headed towards the capital.

Before entering Alabasta, Caesar had already divided his troops into three groups.

He went alone to recruit cadres for the Baroque Works Society.

Yamato and his daughters, Da Kuma and his daughter, Ace and Deus went to look for treasure.

Yixiao, Luo, Beibao, Dr. Wolf and Barto traveled along the canal to the capital Albana, doing some shopping on the way.

In addition to Caesar, the other two groups ensure that each group has a doctor and two support team members to ensure communication between the two teams.

In addition, Yamato made life cards for everyone. Caesar has the life cards of everyone on the ship, and everyone else also has Caesar's life card. If they are separated, they can be located through the life cards.

And everyone is equipped with a Den Den Mushi. If an accident still happens, Caesar really has to consider retiring from the world.

Soon, everyone arrived at the royal capital, Albana, and Yixiao and his companions had already been waiting at the dock of the canal outside the city.

"Captain, who is this?"

Beibao stared at Weiwei blankly.

"Let me introduce you to Nefert D. Vivi, the Princess of Alabasta and my fourth girlfriend."

Caesar introduced: "He is also the new user of the Sand-Sand Fruit."

Babao lowered his head: "Private Marseille."

"What a romantic captain..." Wolfe said happily.

"After all, they are young people." He laughed.

"Oh—this is the gentleman!"

Barto wiped his tears and said, "Only you, sir, have such charm. I don't envy you at all. Really, you even want to introduce me to a girlfriend."

"Boring." Luo carried the knife and didn't care.

"..."

Vivi looked at Caesar's crew in front of her and had to admit that, whether in terms of temperament or oppressive feeling, these people were completely not on the same level as those guys from Baroque Works.

Especially Yamato, Nobita, and Issho, their extraordinary heights make strength written all over their faces!

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me!"

Weiwei bowed and performed a noble salute. As the crown princess, she was well-educated in this regard.

"Please move to the palace and let me show my hospitality."

"Oh! The palace?"

Bonnie cheered, "Anything delicious?"

“You can eat as much as you want!”

Vivi smiled and touched Bonnie's little head.

Needless to say, the crew members around Caesar are definitely not weak. If they can make friends with them, it will also be beneficial to the national security of Alabasta.

"Let's go to the palace!"

Caesar put his arm around Vivi's shoulders and waved to the people behind him like a playboy.

"Just in time to give you something before I leave!"

Weiwei's cheeks flushed slightly. She remembered that Caesar had said before that he would give her a child.

Chapter 111 Test

Alabasta Palace, inside the banquet hall.

Cobra's eyelids twitched as he looked at the people in front of him eating and drinking recklessly.

These are all delicious!

Among them, Caesar, Yamato, Bonnie, and Ace have the most appetites!

Moreover, although the group of people in front of him were very friendly, the sense of oppression they brought was far stronger than those of the cadres of Baroque Works.

The most important thing is that his daughter had just been out with Caesar for one night, but when she came back she became like a newlywed wife, holding Caesar's arm with a virtuous look on her face, which made the old father and Ikalem and others heartbroken.

"Try this powder, it's our specialty in Alabasta!"

Weiwei brought a large plate with a special kind of vermicelli in it. Caesar took a bite and it was a bit like potato vermicelli, but not as elastic.

The vermicelli itself has a slightly sweet taste, and the meat sauce on top is a kind of poultry. It tastes a bit like Xinjiang Dapanji, but there are still some differences.

Caesar gave a thumbs up and said, "It would taste better with some tomatoes."

"Ha, you're really good at eating!"

Weiwei's face lit up: "There are two ways to prepare this dish. One is to add tomatoes, but Dad prefers it this way because..."

“The flavor will be heavier, but with the addition of tomatoes, the aroma and spiciness will be more prominent, making it more palatable overall.”

Caesar said calmly that god-level cooking skills were no joke. Although cooking techniques varied from place to place, basically one could tell how to cook something or how to improve it by just taking a bite.

"That's right!"

Weiwei smiled, her smile was tender and sweet.

This is the case with girls who have just fallen in love. Even the slightest bit of common language can resonate with them.

"You're awesome, Caesar!"

"You are so awesome~Caesar~"

At the door, Ikalem bit his handkerchief and looked at Bell with tears in his eyes, imitating Weiwei's tone just now: "Damn it! What happened yesterday? Why did Her Highness Weiwei become... more feminine?"

"Don't ask me, I'm not married..."

Bale shook his head helplessly, and Gakka beside him also looked embarrassed.

They are not children anymore, and they probably know what happened between Vivi and Caesar.

When they thought about the little princess they had doted on for more than ten years being suddenly taken away by a young boy, and even the ruling rights of Alabasta were taken away, they had the urge to skin Caesar alive.

Just when several people were helpless and furious, Caesar suddenly turned and looked at Cobra.

"By the way, father-in-law!"

Who is your father-in-law, you bastard?

Cobra's face darkened. Although he also intended to promote a relationship between the two, after all, the two were of the right age...

But you're moving too fast!

"I forgot to ask before, does Alabasta have seawater desalination technology?"

“Desalination?”

When business was mentioned, Cobra's face suddenly turned serious: "Do you mean to convert seawater into fresh water?"

"Yes."

"No."

"..."

Cobra's answer was so straightforward that Caesar was speechless.

Seeing Caesar like this, Cobra was also embarrassed and hurriedly explained: "Although Alabasta has a desert climate, the climate of the Grand Line islands does not change easily. Although water resources are relatively scarce, the rainfall has been very stable in the past. The domestic canals can also meet the needs of the people. It's just that transporting water resources is more troublesome."

“The ability to resist risks is still very low.”

Caesar shook his head slightly. "I'll send someone with special abilities over here soon to manage and protect the desert oasis. If conditions permit, I can also mark out the domestic water sources and build two more canals between several important cities. I also have seawater distillation technology, which I'll provide to you as soon as possible."

"this…"

Cobra was a little embarrassed: "The cost of digging a canal... our royal family may not be able to afford that much."

After all, it is not a country that is obsessed with infrastructure. For a country like Alabasta that has not even achieved modernization, the cost and time of digging a canal are really unaffordable for him.

Not to mention the invasion of wind and sand in the desert. The river channel here may just be opened up, but it may be buried completely by a sandstorm, and all the previous efforts will be wasted.

"I'll give you 10 billion."

"Good son-in-law! Weiwei will be left to you from now on!"

Cobra looked at Caesar with approval without hesitation.

"father!"

Vivi blushed. Cobra's behavior was really inconsistent with the image of a king.

Of course, she also knew that this king, who was loved by the people, was just a funny man in private.

Caesar couldn't help but smile.

It is hard to say about his ability, but King Cobra is still very diligent and loves his people. As long as it is good for the country and does not violate his way of life, he will not mind giving up his ruling power.

What does Alabasta lack the most?

It is undoubtedly water resources.

This kind of problem is actually easy to solve in the eyes of time travelers. Ripe fruits, lush fruits, and dense fruits all have the ability to promote plant growth and prevent soil erosion.

Combined with canals and desalination technology, Alabasta's ecological problems can be solved quickly.

Of course, the prerequisite is to be able to solve Crocodile...

"Dear, ah~"

Baby5 held a piece of meat on a fork and passed it to Caesar's mouth.

"what--"

Caesar opened his mouth and ate it, then turned around and Vivi handed him a burrito with both hands.

Seeing Caesar enjoying the blessing of having many wives, Ace and Deuce no longer felt like enjoying their meals.

"Uncle, do you have any other princesses here?"

"Nothing."

Hearing Deuce's question, Cobra laughed: "Weiwei is my only daughter and the only heir to the kingdom."

"How enviable, Captain..."

Except for the silent and cool man Luo, the three young boys Barto, Ace and Deus all sighed.

Caesar chuckled and casually said, "I'll take you to Nine Snakes when there's a chance."

Ace was uninterested: "Nine Snakes? What kind of place is that?"

"The legendary country of women."

"Please take us with you!!" ×N

At that moment, Barto and the other two stood up and bowed deeply to Caesar.

Caesar turned his head and found that Cobra, who was sitting in the main seat, was also maintaining the same posture as the others, with a face full of piety.
