One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

If I have to say, it should be tolerance!

It is not just a single aspect such as strength, power, physique, etc.

Rather, it is a comprehensive fault-tolerant capability that can withstand the consequences of mistakes.

For example, when both of them were hit by a knife, Garp was hit by a knife by Xi and was beaten to the ground and unable to get up. The same knife was hit on Whitebeard and Shanks, and the result was basically the same.

But if it were Kaido and Big Mom, two super blood cows, spitting on them would probably stop the bleeding immediately, and they could continue to beat them with sticks for days and nights.

Nowadays, Caesar's physique is far beyond the strength that can be enhanced by the vampire fruit. It is more likely due to the talent of the Overlord and the effect brought by the demon bloodline.

Activate Lunalia's transformation to gain a significant boost.

Two months ago, Yamato's two sticks would have made him bile boil, but for Caesar now, it didn't hurt at all.

The only thing that concerned Caesar was that the growth rate of his strength began to slow down.

The same weight training no longer has the same rapid progress as before, and the daily progress is gradually decreasing.

I guess by the time one reaches the level of the Four Emperors, the progress in strength will have almost completely slowed down.

The right hand condensed into armed color, flowing and compressed.

The fist and the mace collided in the air, and Caesar created a shock wave.

Yamato was knocked back two steps by the sudden impact and looked at Caesar in surprise.

"Eh? What was that just now?"

"Armament Haki compression."

Caesar's lips curled up slightly. "I've recently developed a clever trick. I can gather all my Armament Haki into my fists, compress them, and then release them in the form of internal destruction. This can cause a certain impact..."

That’s right, this move is exactly the same as the principle of Garp’s fist bone impact.

However, Caesar can only achieve a prototype for now, and he needs more practice to make further progress.

The specific training method is quite simple, refer to Garp hitting the warship.

That’s right, it’s reckless!

But it is not just a reckless move. There are two key points to this move.

The first is to instantly concentrate all the strength and dominance of the whole body on the fist, which requires extremely concentrated attention.

Second, release the flowing Armament Haki impact, which requires exquisite Armament Haki control.

It is precisely because of the high-intensity concentration and explosion that its power is quite considerable.

From this perspective, it is reasonable to say that King Effort, with all his might, was able to break King Evil Government's giant rock hand.

Yamato's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Amazing! Caesar, teach me!"

Caesar raised the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Is there any benefit?"

Yamato thought about it, his face suddenly flushed, and he leaned over to whisper in Caesar's ear.

"Cough cough..."

Caesar smiled and cleared his throat: "Since you are so sincere, I will teach you!"

"Haha, I knew you were the best, Caesar!"

Yamato laughed, picked up Caesar and kissed him on the face, leaving a bright red lip mark.

As a general, he had to behave in a dignified manner, so Yamato was forced by her maids to put on makeup every day and dress more femininely than before.

Although Caesar personally prefers the sleeveless kimono, it would be a different story if it was his own wife.

Under Caesar's strong request, Yamato can only wear long-sleeved kimonos now, and don't even think about wearing sleeveless ones!

With that terrifying size, wearing sleeveless would be a big disadvantage...

"First, you must concentrate your strength and domineering aura..."

Yamato punched out, "Is that so?"

"No, it's too loose. Start with your legs! Like this!"

"Oh—and then?"

"And then this, and then this..."

"Huh? Is touching legs a necessary step?"

"Um…"

"We are outside now, this is not good, Caesar..."

"Don't talk, keep your head down!"

Chapter 22 Freeing Robin

That night, in the Flower City, in the General's Mansion, underground.

The long staircase disappeared into darkness, and the crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the dim corridor.

Caesar held a torch and walked down the stairs.

This is below the secret room of Kozuki Sukiyaki, connected to the seabed below Wano Country, and it is also the place where the historical text of four navigation marks leading to Raftel is hidden.

In the darkness, the firelight was dim and the surroundings were quiet.

As the air around him gradually became humid, Caesar finally reached the bottom.

The huge red historical text suddenly appeared before Caesar's eyes. The four corners of the crimson stone surface were covered with green moss, and it lay quietly in the darkness.

Caesar raised his hand, and suddenly a card with an image of a beautiful woman appeared in his hand.

The card shattered, a golden light flashed, and a sexy figure in black leather jacket appeared out of thin air in front of Caesar.

crunch...

Nicole Robin quickly steadied her body as her leather boots stepped lightly on the rotten wooden floor. Her red eyes looked around vigilantly before she looked warily at the man in front of her.

"I'm so sorry for keeping you locked up for so long, Miss Robin."

Caesar hooked his finger, and a faint blood mist suddenly emanated from Robin's body. As the blood mist dissipated, her red pupils turned back to black.

Noticing Caesar's pajamas, Robin's eyes flashed slightly, and he quickly extracted useful information from Caesar's words.

"It seems like a long time has passed. Where are we?"

"Wano Country, the headquarters of the Four Emperors Kaido."

Caesar gave her an admiring look: "You are very calm."

"After all, my thoughts are still on Sleeping in the Ancient Town."

Robin smiled, suppressing the uneasiness in his heart: "So, Mr. Vampire has defected to the Four Emperors Kaido?"

"For now, but in two or three months, we'll have to leave."

Caesar smiled, slowly raised his hand, and pointed his slender index finger in the direction behind Robin: "But before that, didn't I promise you? The historical text..."

Robin looked in the direction of Caesar's finger, and the crimson historical text came into view, causing her pupils to tremble.

"This is…"

"The text of the history of the route."

Caesar said calmly, "Unlike other historical texts, this one records how to get to the final island, Raftel. However, it only contains a quarter of it. The remaining three pieces are elsewhere."

Robin looked at Caesar in surprise when he heard this. The other party's condition was completely different from when he was in the Sleeping Ancient Town.

When sleeping in the ancient town, Caesar gave her the feeling that he was a little tense under the appearance of politeness and elegance, and after gaining the ability, he showed some youthful arrogance.

But now, the other person's temperament has become more free and easy and calm, and his body is stronger than before. However, under that calm appearance, it seems that there is a sleeping beast lurking, giving people an indescribable sense of oppression.

"So how long has it been? Am I sealed?"

"Seal... you could say that."

Caesar smiled apologetically and briefly told the other party about his experiences during this period.

"I wasn't very lucky that day. I had just awakened my Conqueror's Haki, and unfortunately Kaido was passing by the Sky Island above us at that time. I was noticed. Calculating the time, it has been more than two months since I was captured by Kaido."

"Two months..."

Robin gave Caesar a complicated look: "This shouldn't be a vampire's ability, right?"

"This is my secret... Just think of it as a devil fruit ability."

Caesar raised his index finger to his lips and said, "A lot has happened in the past two months. However, considering your special status, I have not released you. Of course, your time has completely stopped during this period, so for you, only a brief moment has passed."

"So are you releasing me now to complete the deal between us?"

"On the one hand."

Caesar nodded slightly: "On the other hand, I should be able to protect you."

Robin looked at Caesar in surprise: "Protection?"

"Aren't you my secretary?"

Caesar said as a matter of course: "As the boss, I have an obligation to protect my subordinates, right?"

Recalling the conversation they had in the Sleeping Ancient Town, Robin's eyes flashed: "Speaking of which... Boss, you haven't told me the news about Sauro yet."

"He's in Elbaf, the Land of Giants."

Caesar said calmly, "I'm not very clear about his specific experiences over the years, but if you want to go find him, I advise you to wait a little longer."

"What's the reason?"

"Although I don't really care about this kind of thing, it seems that you are the only one who can bring the truth of history to the world. Of course, I don't care about how the world is..."

Caesar said seriously, "If I have to say it, it's because I need you."

Robin couldn't help but chuckle, "Ah, that sounds like a confession."

"This is not a joke..."

Caesar smiled slightly. "Neither the world nor history is important to me, but you who can influence the future direction of the world are very important to me."

Robin's smile faded slightly when he heard this: "Then Mr. Caesar...what is your purpose?"

"I want to try... to overturn this ocean!"

Caesar took two steps forward, holding a torch. The light of the flames illuminated the crimson historical text, bringing a bit of life to the decayed inscription.

"Pull down those high-handed pigs, bring freedom and hope to every corner of the world, become the sole emperor of the world, unify the world, make the four seas submit, and accomplish a feat never before accomplished by anyone in history!"

The young voice echoed resoundingly in the darkness. Robin opened his mouth slightly and looked at Caesar in some surprise.

"That's really... an incredible dream."

“It’s an ideal.”

Caesar laughed and said, "You may not believe this, but in my hometown, this is an ideal that every man has had."

It has even been achieved more than once...

Robin hesitated: "Just... the two of us?"

"Now there are three."

Caesar laughed: "Kaido's daughter is my girlfriend. Her strength is no less than Kaido's deputy. We agreed to go to sea together."

Robin: "???"

Kaido's daughter?

Your girlfriend?

What happened in these two months?

Thinking about the photo of Kaido that she had seen in the newspaper, Robin couldn't help but imagine a devilish muscular woman with a green face and fangs, five or six meters tall, carrying a mace, emerging in her mind.

Look again at Caesar's tall figure and handsome face.

Robin said in a complicated tone: "It seems that it is not easy for you either."

"You seem to be thinking of something very rude..."

Caesar glanced at her and said, "Yamato is very beautiful! But she's a little tall."
