One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Caesar glanced at the mace. If he remembered correctly, it was called the Eight Precepts, specifically for helping people quit being kings...

"Boy, what's your name?"

"Kim Caesar!"

"Caesar? Humph, the qualifications of a king are worthy of the name..."

Kaido whispered Caesar's name, a smile slowly forming on the corner of his mouth. He slowly raised the mace in his hand and pointed it at Caesar: "Hey kid, do you want to join my pirate group?"

Upon hearing this, Caesar raised his hands helplessly: "It seems that I have no room to refuse."

"Ah la la la! Who said that? You can choose to die too!"

Kaido laughed heartily, seeming to find himself quite humorous, but then frowned again: "But I don't like your attitude. You didn't resist at all in the face of threats. You don't have the blood of a man at all!"

"If I were to venture into this ocean, I would be happy to fight Mr. Kaido."

Caesar spread his hands, feeling helpless. "But I haven't had the chance to grow! In the past, my talent was limited, and I didn't even master Haki. I just ate the Devil Fruit, and then you, Mr. Kaido, appeared from the sky."

"If you find it boring, why not let me go back and grow up for two years, and then come back to have a manly duel with you?"

"Oh? You think if I give you two years, you'll be able to fight me, right?"

Kaido seemed to be in high spirits. He sneered, and the domineering lightning released by Hachijou tore cracks in the clouds.

"It took Roger thirty years to become king, Whitebeard roamed the seas for forty years, and even that red-haired brat took fifteen years to reach his current position. Boy, do you know what you're talking about?"

Facing Kaido's disdain, Caesar was not angry at all: "That makes sense! Then why don't you give me two more years?"

Boom——

The thunder exploding in the clouds illuminated Caesar's pale face and Kaido's face as black as the bottom of a pot.

After a moment of oppressive silence, Kaido suddenly bared his teeth and slowly raised the mace in his hand: "Ah ha ha ha... You slick-tongued bat boy, you dare to play tricks on me!"

Caesar's mouth twitched: "Actually, two years is not impossible, we can negotiate..."

"You should discuss it with Bangzi!"

The armed color domineering slowly climbed onto the mace, and as the lightning flashed, Kaido smiled grimly.

"Don't worry, I'll give you time. Not only two years, I'll give you ten or twenty years! Not only that, I'll teach you myself! This beating of the stick will be your first lesson!"

“Thunder—gossip!”

call--

The surging pressure of the stick suddenly cut through the air. At this moment, it was as if the surrounding air was sucked out, and even the sound was left far behind by the mace whose speed was unclear!

The twisted and domineering thunder on the staff seemed to form a mournful word "death", and the shadow of death gradually enlarged in Caesar's sight. Even the sea below the two of them was dented into a bowl shape by this sudden strong pressure!

And Caesar also figured out the current situation a second before Kaido swung his stick.

There are only two possibilities for Kaido to appear in Shuigu Town. The first is coincidence, and the second is premeditated.

The former can only be said to be his bad luck, while the latter shows that the other party's main target is not himself, but Robin.

Fortunately, judging from Kaido's attitude, this encounter should be just a coincidence. Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy is more interested in mythical beasts...

But why is it that in other people's stories, when they meet Kaido, they either send their daughters or accept disciples, but in my case, it's just thundering gossip?

Oh no, now isn't the time to think about this...

Compared to those messy...

Move your dead hand quickly!

Otherwise...

will die! ! !

The black mace in the pupil rapidly enlarged, and the shiny black metal luster seemed to reflect the smile of the goddess of death.

Amidst the shadow of death and the trembling of biological instinct, Caesar suddenly raised his right hand high.

"The Great River of Blood!!"

In an instant, the sea of ​​blood surged and blood mist rose!

The thick blood gathered into a huge vortex that blocked Caesar. The blood-colored vortex with a diameter of one hundred meters and a thickness of more than twenty meters instantly drained most of Caesar's physical strength!

The next moment, with the help of the vortex's cover, a golden card appeared out of thin air and fell heavily with Caesar's arm, quietly sinking into the blood-red vortex.

As the card sank, the vortex that was originally rippling with water waves suddenly became viscous and eventually turned into a huge blood-red round shield!

[Collection item: Non-Newtonian fluid/cubic × 99]

Bang!

The pitch-black mace, carrying the power of wind and thunder, slammed heavily onto the sticky and thick blood-red giant shield!

A dull sound was heard, and a terrifying force bombarded the blood-red giant shield filled with non-Newtonian fluid, causing ripples on the surface of the shield.

Feeling the subtle touch of Hachisaijie hitting the blood shield, Kaido's pupils shrank, and the strange vibration that was fed back to his arm was as if the stick had hit him!

blocked!

A hint of joy flashed in Caesar's eyes.

However, before the joy in his eyes faded, the surging ripples suddenly trembled violently.

The next moment, accompanied by Kaido's roar, an extremely suppressed sonic boom suddenly sounded, and the blood-red giant shield exploded. The shock wave containing terrifying power rushed out, instantly sending Caesar flying! Even Kaido himself was knocked back several meters by this huge force!

The terrifying shock wave spread out in all directions, pushing the sea below into huge waves that were over ten meters high!

Holy crap! It exploded?!

Nani? Blocked?!

At this moment, in the rain of blood, both of them saw the horror in each other's eyes.

whoosh-

The black wings flapped suddenly, and Caesar stopped flying backwards. He raised his hand and a blood rain fell from the sky as if summoned by something, gathering into a river and surrounding Caesar.

Not far away, Kaido also stopped flying backwards, shook his right hand which was numb from the shock, and put Hachisaijie on his shoulder, looking at Caesar in disbelief: "What was that move just now?"

"A special fluid state that can effectively resist external impact, but it shouldn't be blown up..." Caesar said, casting a probing look at Kaido.

"Hmph... Armament Haki is called Ryu-o in Wano Country. Activating it can damage the target's interior."

Kaido twitched the corner of his mouth, and rode the flame cloud to Caesar. He looked at Caesar with an indescribable satisfaction: "Not bad, Caesar boy, I really like you more and more!"

"To be honest, I have admired Mr. Kaido for a long time!"

Caesar opened his arms frankly, looking like a bachelor who said, "If you hit me again, I will really die in front of you." "How about we stop here? I think I would be happy to join Mr. Kaido's army."

"Ah ha ha ha! You slippery boy!"

Kaido laughed loudly, lifted Caesar onto the flame cloud, and patted Caesar's shoulder with his huge hand: "From today on, you are a member of my Beasts Pirates! Of course, if you dare to betray me, I will twist your head off with my own hands!"

"Then can you teach me how to be domineering?"

"of course can!"

"Overlord color?"

"As long as you can learn it! But I'm curious, with your slippery personality, what kind of king do you want to be?"

“Actually, I just want to live freely.”

"Oh? Someone like Roger? That brat is exactly the type I hate! But who knows... that might be an ambition even greater than the Pirate King! Alas..."

The flame cloud flew towards Wano Country, and Kaido's laughter resounded through the sky.

On the way, Caesar looked at Yanyun and then at Kaido from time to time.

Kaido sat cross-legged on the flaming cloud, drinking wine from a wine gourd. He noticed Caesar's reaction and glanced sideways.

"You kid...are you thinking of riding on my head?"

"how could be?"

Caesar waved his hands quickly. Although he really wanted to, how could he say such a thing to his face?

"Your eyes give you away, you little brat!"

Kaido grinned and punched Caesar on the head. Caesar's eyes turned black and he fell headfirst into the cloud of flames.

After an unknown amount of time, when Caesar woke up, he found himself lying in a quiet and elegant Japanese room.

Soft bedding was spread on the tatami. Caesar lifted the quilt and found that he was wearing a kimono.

Without any hesitation, Caesar took off his kimono and threw it aside, then took out a new set of clothes.

The upper body is a wide-sleeved, tapered linen shirt paired with a brown gun-neck leather vest, and the lower body is casual black jeans paired with turned-up long Martin boots.

Daily necessities and clothing cards.

The collector system can make unlimited copies of collectibles, but the maximum number of copies that can be stored is only 99. Every time a copy is consumed, a certain cooldown period is required to copy it again. The higher the value of the item and the more energy it contains, the longer the cooldown period is required.

It was precisely by relying on the nature of replication that Caesar was able to complete the original accumulation of capital.

However, it is worth mentioning that living things cannot be copied, and some special items that contain their own will, such as devil fruits, demon swords, etc., cannot be copied.

Moreover, the collection of living beings must be carried out when the target has no ability to resist, and the time of the collected living beings themselves will also be frozen.

The system's capabilities are quite good, but the only problem is that it lacks the ability to proactively break through boundaries.

For example, Caesar once attempted to complete a system achievement quest, gathering over 90% of the world's kitchen utensils and seasonings. He received a skill-based achievement reward called "Chef," which allowed him to create glowing dishes...

In other words, the type of achievement you achieve will determine the type of skill or item you are rewarded with.

If he didn't have the vampire fruit, the key that allowed him to break through to the extraordinary level, then relying solely on the system, he would have been an ordinary person all his life.

The most difficult thing is always from 0 to 1, but once the boundary is broken, the road ahead will be much easier.

For example, the Masterpiece Upgrade rewarded after obtaining the Vampire Fruit, and the achievement reward obtained after awakening the Conqueror Color...

【Collection Item: Conqueror's Haki】

[Rarity: S]

【Collection value: S】

[Evaluation: The qualifications of a king, but it is just qualifications. Even Kaido's fart may be more intimidating than yours.]

[Achievement: Awakening a Domineering Aura]

[Achievement Reward: Talent: Overlord]

[Overlord: Now you can try to challenge the limits of humanity in this world—in any aspect!]

This is undoubtedly a gift.

But whether he can fulfill it depends on Caesar himself.

The future is promising! The future is promising!

Caesar clenched his fists with a snap, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

Gululu…

Suddenly, his stomach growled loudly, and Caesar felt an unbearable hunger, as if he was about to collapse.

This made Caesar very uncomfortable, but he also felt a sense of inexplicable novelty, because in this pirate world, being able to eat does not mean being able to fight, but those who can fight must be able to eat!

Monster-like combat power also requires sufficient nutrition to support it. In the past, even if Caesar was very hungry, he would not have such an obvious feeling of powerlessness.

This also shows that with the dual blessing of the Devil Fruit and the Overlord, his talent has indeed transformed!

When I opened the door, I saw a beautiful maid in kimono kneeling in the corridor.

Seeing Caesar walk out of the room, the maid bowed slightly and said: "Sir, Lord Kaido has prepared a banquet for you..."

"Take me there..."

Caesar's stomach was rumbling and his green eyes looked like he wanted to eat someone.

The maid didn't dare to look any longer and walked in front with her head down. After turning a few corners with Caesar, she saw a bright light coming from the end of the corridor in front.

Caesar clearly heard the pirates' noise and quarrels, the clinking of wine glasses, the screams of geishas, ​​and Kaido's strange laughter in the banquet hall.

When they arrived outside the banquet hall, the maid stopped and bowed to step aside.

Caesar walked into the banquet hall calmly. The bright light shone on his handsome face, and the banquet hall, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Caesar with different expressions, some curious, some surprised, some jealous.
