One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

Daxiong was calculating the time in his mind and was about to hang up the phone, but was suddenly stopped by Caesar.

"Wait, tell him you're willing to pay the ransom! Tell him to hold on and name a price first!"

Caesar explained in a low voice, "The annual payment of Heavenly Gold by the member states of the World Government is not a small sum. That guy has the Navy as his backer, so it must have cost him a lot. Don't worry, buy as much time as possible. I will find someone to negotiate with him."

"I understand... Tell King Bekoli that I'm willing to pay the ransom. Let him name his price first."

Big Bear hung up the phone, his face a little anxious: "You heard it too, can you help me take care of Bonnie? I will finish things over there as soon as possible."

"What are you talking about? You're my subordinate now, so why would I let you go alone? It's earlier than expected, but it's about time..."

Caesar took out a Den Den Mushi and called Doflamingo.

Bulu Bulu Ka…

"Good evening, Dover!"

"Fufufu...it's His Excellency Caesar. It's so late, is there something urgent?"

Doflamingo's tone was pleasant, and one could faintly hear music and laughter on the other end of the line, as if they were having a party.

"Have you heard about the one-man revolution in the South Seas Solbe Kingdom?"

"Of course, after all, my people just sent that person to you..."

"I just got the news that King Bekoli has enlisted the help of the navy and is holding his people hostage to threaten Big Bear. I need you to help me hold that guy back for a while in exchange for a ransom. What's your price?"

"Fufufufu... It's just a small matter, and talking about money hurts our feelings."

Doflamingo readily agreed.

King Bekoli had just experienced turmoil and found the navy as his backer. It goes without saying that he was short of money at the time, so it could be said that this was a sure thing.

All he had to do was talk and send a random cadre to cover the matter, and he could do Caesar a favor. This deal was so good that only a man with a head kicked by a donkey would ask for money.

"Then it's hard work for you."

Caesar raised his eyebrows and naturally guessed what the other party was thinking.

Fortunately, he is a shameless person. If they really want to touch Doflamingo, this favor will not save him at all.

"What's the point of saying it's hard or not? We are relatives after all. If you have time, you might as well come and sit with me. Fufufu..."

"it is good."

"..."

After the call, Doflamingo's smile froze slightly.

Aren't you really coming?

I'm just kidding!

But the words have been spoken, it is not easy to take them back.

Otherwise, it’s unclear whether the people of the Solbei Kingdom will live or die, but he is definitely in big trouble...

"Don't worry, with that guy's ability, there's no need to worry in the short term."

After hanging up the phone, Caesar soothed him, "Just wait for news from that guy."

"So when do we leave?"

Although he had received Caesar's assurance, Big Bear still couldn't help feeling anxious.

Caesar shook his head slightly: "No hurry, I still have some things to deal with."

Thinking about Big Bear's future experience in the original plot, Caesar felt helpless.

This guy is too honest. He actually listened to Satan's words and never saw Bonnie again until his consciousness was completely erased.

Caesar had no doubt that if Big Bear had not met him first, he might have really tied his hands and delivered himself to the door.

"Peace survives through struggle, but dies through compromise. Taking a step back won't open up new horizons; it will only encourage those guys to push their limits. They lack morals, so how can they reason with you?"

"Disasters are bound to happen one after another. This is the natural order of the world. I know you're worried about those old people, but being in this ocean, we must always be prepared for revenge. Those who don't take risks will only be exploited."

Big Bear was silent for a while. He knew that Caesar was right, but he really couldn't take the risk.

Caesar was different. He couldn't stand any threat.

If you can threaten me, I can threaten you.

Normal people have things they care about, power, wealth, beauty, family, friends, or even their own lives...

It's like the navy publicly executing Ace. If he were Whitebeard, he would probably capture a few Celestial Dragons first.

If you, the navy, have the guts to carry out a public execution, I don't mind completely shattering the myth of the Celestial Dragons being superior in front of the whole world, letting the world see that even gods can bleed!

What we are competing for is the skill of cultivating qi!

There were so many practical methods, but Whitebeard chose to go for it, knowing full well that the other side was well prepared and had the home field advantage...

Compared to the navy, Caesar thought that King Bekoli, a greedy and despicable villain, was the easiest to deal with.

After experiencing a crushing defeat, he would not dare to attack the old people as long as the big bear did not show up. After all, the navy would not always protect him, and the ransom was just a bottom-line guarantee.

Relatively speaking, the really difficult ones are those mad dogs who don't care about anything, but there are only a very small number of such people, and they happen to be the easiest to exploit.

The weak eat the strong, and the strong are respected.

This is an iron law in any world.

But precisely because of this, many people will subconsciously ignore a more important thing, that is, survival of the fittest!

Everyone has their own unique characteristics, so different people and situations require different responses. Only those who survive are qualified to become stronger...

Seeing Caesar's calmness, Big Bear also forced himself to calm down.

The two returned to the general's mansion. In the room, Bonnie was held in Yamato's arms, and the two were reading the comics intently.

Baby5 hummed a song and brought food to the table, looking like a newlywed wife.

In the courtyard outside the room, Robin was hitting a sandbag. Her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and her punches were crisp and sharp. She had improved a lot compared to before, and the lines of her abdominal muscles were faintly visible under her sports vest.

"My dear, you are back~"

Noticing the two people entering the house, Baby5 jumped into Caesar's arms and said, "Dinner is ready!"

"Thanks for your hard work."

Caesar patted her head lovingly and looked at Yamato and Bonnie: "It seems like you two are getting along well?"

"Yeah! Bonnie is very good!"

Yamato held Bonnie's arms with both hands and lifted her up, and for some reason he felt like he was seeing Simba.

"Stop holding me up like that!"

Bonnie struggled, and her body suddenly transformed into that of an eighteen-year-old girl. She threw herself into Big Bear's arms like a little deer, "Bear, you're back! When are we going home?"

"I can't go back~"

Caesar said leisurely, "Your father has sold his life to me in order to treat your illness. From now on, you can only work for me to pay off his debts~"

"Eh?!"

Bonnie looked at Caesar in shock: "You vampire!!!"

“That’s who I am!!!”

Caesar's face darkened. This was an irrefutable fact.

"Come on, everyone, come here, there is something important to say."

Caesar waved to Robin in the courtyard. Robin wiped the sweat off his face and walked into the room.

She glanced at Big Bear, thoughtfully asking, "Are you leaving now?"

Caesar nodded. "Yes, let me briefly introduce you. This is Big Bear, who is as powerful as Big Boss. He is our new partner. The pink-haired girl next to him is his daughter, also our new partner."

"Were I sold as well?"

Bonnie looked at Big Bear after hearing that, then chuckled again: "Forget it, as long as I can be with Big Bear!"

Caesar couldn't help but smile and got down to business: "To make a long story short, due to some unexpected events, we need to leave here early!"

"Early? When?"

Yamato stood up suddenly, his face full of excitement.

"at any time."

Caesar took out his pocket watch and checked the time, his eyes burning with ambition: "Of course, before that, I still have a tough battle to fight..."

The bad news came too suddenly, the good news is that I can finally make money...

Please give me a first order! Thank you very much!

Chapter 65 Ghost Island Race

It's night, Onigashima.

The sky was overcast and the sea was surging.

Caesar jumped off the treasure ship and walked slowly towards the island.

The big bear followed Caesar faithfully, and its huge body blocked a large part of the wind blowing from the sea, so that Caesar's well-groomed hairstyle would not become messy.

As expected, the situation on King Bekoli's side was stabilized. Doflamingo vowed to delay the situation for at least a week. The men from the South Sea District also went to the Kingdom of Solbey just in case.

After hearing the news, Big Bear felt a little relieved. Caesar took him to have dinner and he even took the time to take a hot bath.

Only after adjusting himself to the best condition did Caesar slowly change his clothes and set off for Onigashima on a boat.

Of course, before that, he did not forget to put Yamato and the others into the storage space. Only the highly maneuverable Big Bear was brought with him to prevent accidents.

Although Big Bear didn't know where Caesar had taken Bonnie, he didn't ask any more questions.

Everyone has their own secrets, and Caesar is obviously full of secrets!

This man is so mysterious. He seems to know a lot of things, whether it is the navy, pirates, the World Government, the Revolutionary Army, or even Nika.

It's like a glimpse into a predetermined future...

Daxiong was not sure whether Caesar was a good person, because he discovered during the meal just now that Caesar said one thing to one person and another thing to another person. It was hard to tell whether what he said to you was from his heart or just for show.

Arrogant and self-centered, fickle and willful, ambiguous and frivolous, smooth and materialistic... many bad traits can be seen in him.

But Caesar also had his merits: he was sober and rational, cautious and self-reflective, had a long-term vision, was decisive and free-spirited, and his demeanor was calm and composed, as those noble gentlemen would say - with a hint of damn elegance.

This type of people usually have excellent leadership skills, but their self-centered personality often attracts jealousy and makes them many enemies.

However, Big Bear felt that Caesar should not need to worry about this problem because he was there.

To be honest, he envied Caesar.

I envy Caesar's strength, his handsomeness, and his unconcealed attitude towards the person he likes...even though he is a little fickle.

If I had been as decisive and brave as Caesar and agreed to Ginny, would that tragedy have avoided happening?

"Don't fight amongst yourselves, Big Bear."

Caesar tilted his head slightly. "I don't mean to disturb your memories of the old friend, but instead of regretting the past, it's better to change yourself in the present. By the way, I also came from a weak and uneasy life, so there's no need to envy me."

"Reading minds? That's too rude..."

Big Bear's face flushed slightly, and he felt embarrassed that his secret had been exposed.

"Sorry, this ability has just been awakened, so it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't."

Caesar looked up at the sky, rubbing his chin innocently, not looking at all apologetic. "Don't mind it, we're all men, there's nothing to be shy about. How about a secret exchange? To be honest, I like older sisters!"

Big Bear: "..."

This doesn't seem to be a secret.

Daxiong is an honest man, and he really doesn't know how to respond to this kind of topic.
