One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Caesar shook his head. "Anyone who has been injected with my blood will become my subordinate. Not only will their thoughts and actions be controlled and their abilities weakened, but if they are soaked in seawater or their domineering aura is too strong, their abilities will be ineffective."

"Even if I regain my youth by sucking blood, once the ability wears off, this part of my vitality that doesn't belong to me will quickly disappear. Except for a vampire like me, no one can truly absorb this external vitality."

Marco's disappointment was visibly evident: "Is that so..."

"I can't help it. After all, the fruit isn't omnipotent. Keeping you young forever is a fantasy. If I were to exaggerate further, the World Government would probably dig deep into the ground to find this fruit. How could it possibly fall into my hands?"

Caesar spread his hands slightly. The power of the vampire fruit was already outrageous.

In terms of combat, it has both strength and speed, and has long-range attack capabilities. In terms of endurance, it not only has the powerful physical blessing of the animal system, but can also continuously recover its injuries and physical strength by sucking blood.

Even his method of taking away vitality is not limited to sucking blood!

For example, Caesar can also directly plunder the opponent's vitality through palm contact without the isolation of domineering aura.

He would store this plundered vitality to keep his body young and to heal injuries when he was injured.

During battle, as long as there are enemy cannon fodder around, he will always be in full health. No wonder this fruit ability only appears in the game.

Fortunately, perhaps because it is a work extending the OP background, this bug fruit also exists in this real pirate world, which allowed him to get a great bargain.

"But you don't have to despair. After the ability is removed, although your vitality will be rapidly lost, the hidden diseases and old injuries that have been cured will not recur. The reason you ask this is for Whitebeard, right?"

"Ah, that's right."

Hearing that his injuries and hidden illnesses could be cured, Marco finally cheered up.

"My Phoenix Flame heals wounds by accelerating cell regeneration and stimulating the body's potential. However, while this method is very effective for external injuries, it cannot effectively heal hidden injuries. Furthermore, cell division has its limits. I have an endless supply of regenerative flames and will not be affected. But for Dad at his age..."

Marco shook his head and sighed softly, seeming helpless but also with a hint of relief.

My father's health has been declining in the past two years. Apart from age, the main problem is those old illnesses and injuries.

Although the problem of aging cannot be solved, it would be a great thing if those nagging injuries could be solved.

"In that case, let's set off quickly."

Caesar looked at Robin with great interest. "I'd like to trouble you, Marco, to take me to Fishman Island. That's where I'll find the reward I promised Robin... Actually, even if I don't go, I know what it's about. Do you want to hear it?"

This trip to the ancient town would have been full of twists and turns without Marco's help. After all, the sea of ​​the New World is not a place that anyone can wade into, so Caesar was happy to do him a favor.

And Robin...

In the past, Caesar's ability was limited and he did not dare to get involved in disputes easily.

But now that he has the vampire fruit, Caesar has gained some confidence.

He has collected most of the things in the world, but the main task of collecting the world still remains at 9%.

Therefore, Caesar seriously doubted that this mission of collecting the whole world was probably not limited to objectively existing things, but might also include concepts such as strength and power.

The evidence is that the moment he became the user of the vampire fruit, the progress of the main quest jumped from 9% to 10%!

So according to Caesar's idea, the main task of collecting the world may in some sense be to conquer or rule the whole world.

And to do that, he had to win over Nico Robin.

Robin was of little use to Caesar, who had no interest in history.

But to the world, Robin's existence is extremely critical.

According to the plot of the comics, Robin must be the person who completely reveals the blank hundred years of history at a critical moment, so Caesar must win over this woman.

Caesar had little interest in ruling, but as the saying goes - now that I'm here!

Although the vampire fruit can keep one young forever, it does not mean that there is no risk of death. What if the reward for the main quest is true immortality?

"Mr. Caesar can also read historical texts?"

Hearing Caesar's words, Robin immediately cast a probing look at him: "Can you tell me?"

"It's nothing more than those things that happened eight hundred years ago, and the location of ancient weapons. I don't know much, but it happens to be some key information, enough to pay your reward."

Caesar said, turning his head to look at Robin, and after a pause, he suddenly spoke.

"Haguvar D. Sauro..."

Hearing this familiar name, Robin's pupils suddenly shrank, he stopped and looked at Caesar with a look of surprise and suspicion.

"Want to know?"

A smile played on Caesar's lips. "What was his experience after 'that incident'?"

"After that incident...?"

Robin murmured, and then seemed to understand something. His originally frightened eyes were suddenly filled with surprise: "He...he's still alive?"

Seeing the fish take the bait, Caesar smiled slightly and did not rush to answer: "To be honest, I am still in need of a secretary."

"Then I'll be grateful for your guidance from now on."

Robin walked quickly to Caesar's side without any hesitation and instantly put himself into the role.

In fact, she had a lot of questions she wanted to ask, but now was obviously not the right time.

And Caesar obviously knew something. After all, the only one who knew that he was connected with Sauro was the current Navy Admiral Aokiji.

Although it is not clear where Caesar got this information from, it can be confirmed that the other party's information is reliable to a certain extent, and it is even possible that the other party has had contact with Sauro!

No matter what, if you want to know the news about Sauro, you must stay with Caesar.

Even if... it's a trap!

"Not Caesar..."

Marco, who was leading the way, turned around and saw this scene. He was stunned. "You guys are acting too quickly, aren't you? You can't wait to compete for the Pirate King?"

"Well... Whitebeard isn't interested in that position anyway, right?"

Caesar chuckled. "After all, if he really wanted to become the Pirate King, he wouldn't have waited until now. You would have already taken Robin back to the Moby Dick, right?"

"You know quite a lot..."

Marco chuckled, not looking embarrassed at all.

As the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, he knew very well that if they wanted to reach the final island, Robin, who could interpret the historical text, was indispensable.

But at the same time, compared to the identity of Pirate King, he knows better what Whitebeard values ​​most.

"How about you two join our pirate group? Dad will definitely like you!"

"Why are you still eating and taking things?"

Caesar rolled his eyes. "I gave you three billion, and I'm giving two people away, right? Or maybe I'll just give you two more pies from the sky?"

Marco laughed heartily, shielding his forehead with a hand to block out the sun, and looked up at the sky: "Don't say that, there's a sky island in the sky. Who knows, maybe someday...something will really fall from the sky?"

Before he finished speaking, a small black dot suddenly appeared in his sight, attracting his attention.

"Hey, hey... no way?"

As the black spot in his sight fell rapidly, Marco finally saw the whole picture of the thing, and his expression gradually became ugly.

Noticing Marco's abnormality, Caesar and Robin also looked up at the sky.

Robin frowned slightly: "What is that?"

"It won't be pie."

Caesar squinted his eyes and vaguely saw the outline of the thing that fell from the sky - a humanoid creature with horns.

Such a familiar operation...

Almost instantly, Caesar confirmed the identity of the visitor.

Without any hesitation, he raised his hand and embraced Robin. In the other's surprised eyes, he opened his mouth and gently bit the delicate neck. His sharp fangs pierced Robin's skin, and a trickle of blood mixed with paralyzing toxin was injected into Robin's body.

Immediately afterwards, Caesar waved his hand, and Robin's body suddenly turned into a golden card and was put into the card album.

"It's Kaido! This is bad... We have to get out of here!"

Seeing the identity of the person, Marco's face changed. He turned to look at Caesar, but did not see Robin: "Where is Robin?"

"I don't know, maybe he went to the bathroom."

Caesar casually tore off his shirt that was tattered by the bat wings, revealing his muscular upper body. His muscular lines were like a carefully crafted work of art, coordinated and symmetrical.

The black bat wings spread out again, flapping gently, and flew high into the sky with Caesar. "That guy probably isn't coming for you. Let's stop here for now, Marco. I'll come find you later."

Marco's face darkened. "Stop joking, you bastard! Caesar, do you think I'm a coward? Don't forget, you paid three billion! If something really goes wrong, how will others look at us?"

"Interesting... Are we going to sacrifice the lives of the entire ship just because of someone like me who can't die?"

"You can't die you *%￥#...damn it!"

Marco gritted his teeth, his face flushing red with anger.

He is the second-in-command of Whitebeard's group. It is impossible that Kaido is here to capture him. If he dares to do so, Whitebeard will risk his life to demolish Wano Country.

However, although Kaido does not dare to perish together with Whitebeard, he still has the courage to knock down the second-in-command and take someone back, and it is not small!

Everyone in the New World knows that Kaido particularly likes users of animal-type fruit abilities, not to mention the top-level mythical beasts.

As for Caesar, even if he was caught, his life wouldn't be in danger, but the same couldn't be said for his crew...

"Then Caesar, please leave quickly, I——"

Before Marco could finish his words, Caesar had already transformed into a streak of black light that streaked across the sky and disappeared into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

Just as Caesar guessed, sensing his intention to escape, Kaido, who was falling rapidly in the sky, suddenly turned into a green dragon. The dragon stepped on the flaming cloud, let out a roar that resounded through the sky, and quickly chased towards Caesar!

"Tsk, you reckless fellow! I haven't finished what I'm saying yet! If I just block you..."

Marco waved his hand, and a green flame of regeneration swirled around his body.

Just as he was about to go forward and entangle Kaido, he saw the blue dragon suddenly turned its head and looked at him, then looked in the direction of the port with a threatening look, with a faint red light flashing in its mouth.

"What a bastard!"

Marco felt a chill in his heart and quickly transformed into a phoenix and flew towards the dock.

By the time he arrived at the dock, the two people in the sky had already disappeared...

"Damn it... Set sail! Go back to Daddy!"

The signing date has arrived, but considering the short word count, the editor asked us to sign the contract on Friday. But everyone can invest now!

Chapter 3 Kaido, the Beast

The Grand Line, the New World.

Thirty nautical miles east of Shuigu Town.

Above the sky, a black-winged vampire flew by at a rapid speed. Behind it, a huge green dragon was cruising on a cloud of flames, but its speed did not slow down at all.

Caesar turned his head and glanced at the green dragon that was chasing him closely. He calculated the time, suddenly flapped his wings, stopped abruptly in mid-air, turned around and looked leisurely at the huge monster that was approaching from afar.

But in an instant, the dragon was before their eyes.

Caesar carefully looked at the creature in front of him. The green dragon scales were shining with a cold light, the huge and winding dragon body was like an undulating hill, the dragon's whiskers were fluttering in the air, and the huge and cold pupils were staring straight at Caesar.

This is the Four Emperors...Kaido the Beast!

The threat and oppression brought by facing the beast form directly are hundreds or thousands of times stronger than what is shown in the comics!

While Caesar was observing Kaido, Kaido was also observing Caesar.

Although he is not tall at 1.9 meters, he is very straight and his muscles are well-proportioned and coordinated. Although he lacks a sense of strength, it can be seen that he has been trained hard.

His eyes swept across the large black wings, passed the elf-like ears, and finally landed on the pair of red eyes that were shocked but did not show the slightest fear.

After two seconds of silence, Kaido suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed out loud. As soon as he opened his mouth, a strong smell of alcohol hit his face.

"Ah, ha, ha! Why don't you run away, boy?"

"If you can't run, then don't run."

Caesar was very weak. Not to mention the difference in physical strength, others could fly by stepping on the flame cloud, while he had to flap his wings constantly. No matter how you look at it, he was at a disadvantage.

And who is Kaido, the King of Beasts?

The New World's top mentor, a renowned for his love of Furi, and a lover of animal-type abilities, it's no surprise that a mythical beast like him encounters Kaido...

Seeing Caesar's calm and composed look, Kaido looked at him strangely, then twisted his body, and his huge body turned into a several-meter-tall iron tower in the blink of an eye.

The burly man had thick, wild black hair, two horns on his head, a green dragon scale tattoo on his left arm, a thick shimenaka rope tied around his waist, a fluffy cloak draped over his naked upper body, and a huge black mace in his hand. He stood majestically on a cloud of flames.
