One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

"If I must ask you, you seem quite interested in this small village? Not only did you hire the Navy hero Garp to wipe out the pirates there, you also bought the village's bookstore and hired a young woman as its manager..."

"The girl's name is... Nami, right?"

The smile on Caesar's face gradually disappeared, and a hint of scarlet flashed in his eyes: "Is this all you can find out in just one week?"

“Joker’s service is excellent.”

Jin said calmly that investigating people was not within the business scope of the Beasts Pirates and was usually outsourced to Doflamingo. That guy had businesses all over the world and his intelligence skills in this area of ​​commerce were no worse than those of Stussy, the Queen of Pleasure Street.

"Is that girl your sweetheart?"

"No, I haven't even met her."

Caesar slowly stood up. "It's just that I occasionally get the urge to change something. It's purely out of interest, so even if you kill her, I won't do anything."

"But you look angry."

"I am very angry."

Caesar stood up straight, an inexplicable feeling lingering on his forehead, as if a sharp cone was pointed at his eyebrows, making him feel very uncomfortable, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

"Are you threatening me?"

"Mr. Kaido asked me to bring out your full potential, so no matter what method I use, as long as I can achieve my goal, I will not hesitate at all."

Jin said calmly, showing no shame at all for such a despicable threat. "You're a smart man. You should be able to see that I'm not exaggerating. So... have you found the faith to fight now?"

"still none."

Caesar sneered: "Even though I don't quite understand why I'm so angry, it doesn't matter anymore. I just want to kill you now."

"Pure killing intent is also a kind of belief."

Jin sneered and slowly drew the long sword from his waist. This was the first time he had drawn a sword in recent days. "So, you are ready to face death...right?"

laugh--

A blush quietly appeared on the body surface, and wisps of steam dissipated.

A faint red light flickered, and a pair of huge black bat wings pierced the fabric on Caesar's back, shaking slightly and slowly expanding.

The atmosphere was filled with a depressing silence.

The armed color domineering climbed to the tip of the knife. Jin stared quietly at the angry boy in front of him, and his eyes slowly fell on the other's forehead.

There, a strand of drooping hair suddenly stood up as if stimulated by something.

Then suddenly, Caesar disappeared from sight!

Disappeared?

Jin's eyes were stunned, and as he caught sight of it with his observation Haki, he saw a deep darkness falling from the sky at a speed invisible to the naked eye. Sensing this extremely fast attack, he suddenly swung the long sword in his hand!

boom--

The extremely violent and domineering color exploded out of thin air!

In an instant, the air waves rolled, and the violent collision caused the waves to roll back and the reefs to collapse!

Overlord color?

Still can't activate Armament Haki?

The moment the fist collided with the blade, a hint of disappointment flashed in Jin's eyes.

Although a week is a bit short, for Caesar with his qualifications, he should be able to get some feeling for it.

However, Caesar still disappointed him. There was not even a trace of armament color on the fist that fell from the sky.

In that case, just beat him half to death first!

Anyway, with this kid's ability, he can survive as long as he has a breath...

Thinking of this, Jhin swung the long sword in his hand without reservation and chopped it off Caesar's right fist - the air wall in front!

Feeling the sudden mountain-collapsing force on the blade, Jhin's eyes suddenly widened in an instant!

boom----

A deafening crash swept across the entire beach, and as the hurricane swept through, the coconut trees in the distance rustled and faintly made crackling and breaking sounds.

It seemed like a moment had passed, and also like a long time had passed...

On the shore, two figures, one big and one small, were lying on the beach in a big shape, both gasping for breath and looking in a miserable state.

The difference is that one of them is tired and the other is shocked.

Click…

The mask and helmet fell off together. Jhin raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and a trace of blood on his fingertip was very conspicuous. His left cheek was burning, and it would probably swell up soon.

Caesar stared at the sky, savoring the feeling of the blow just now.

It felt amazing...

It was as if the thought had become substance, turning into fluid and attaching to the fist. The moment it was swung out with force, it seemed as if it could sweep away everything in the world!

Although he didn't even clear the ashes in front of him, the feeling of breaking free from restraints and being invincible was deeply imprinted in his mind.

Lifting his shaking arms, Caesar gasped, "Is this... the release of Armament Haki?"

"No, simply releasing your Armament Haki is not enough to knock my sword away..."

Jhin slowly sat up, his white hair draped over his shoulders, revealing a handsome wheat-skinned face, his eyes filled with shock and confusion.

"That should be... the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki. Although I don't know how you did it, there is no doubt... you are indeed a dangerous fellow. If you continue to grow, even if you won't be a match for Mr. Kaido, you will definitely be better than me."

Caesar scoffed. "What? Are you trying to nip this danger in the bud?"

"Don't worry, I don't think you will surpass that man, and you don't need to worry about my threats anymore."

Jhin slowly stood up and casually swung out a flying slash, killing several unlucky minions who heard the noise and came to investigate, but accidentally saw his face.

"To a man capable of throwing a punch like that, such unseemly threats only serve to humiliate me. I'll tentatively admit that you're my equal. Before you challenge that man, I'm eagerly anticipating our battle."

Caesar twitched his lips and said, "That's not bad..."

"So who is that girl?"

Jin sat cross-legged next to Caesar, and asked with a hint of teasing, "Your fighting spirit?"

"You are a bit of a gossip..."

Caesar sat up with great effort, feeling his bones creaking all over his body. "I really haven't seen her. I just wanted to try to change something, so I did it casually. As for belief, I still don't understand..."

Jin was a little surprised: "Then your murderous intention just now..."

“I once heard a saying…Freedom isn’t about being able to do whatever you want, but being able to not do what you don’t want to do.”

Caesar smiled and said, "I don't like infringing on other people's freedom, and I also hate this kind of violation of my personal will. In fact, the reason I went to sea was just to be able to control my own destiny."

"I see…"

Jin smiled in relief, finally understanding why Caesar had thrown that punch just now: "But even with you like this, you still have no choice but to compromise with Mr. Kaido."

"So sooner or later I'm going to fight him!"

Caesar laughed heartily: "Being able to fight against the Four Emperors without losing means that I have the capital to not fear the threats of the Four Emperors, right? And I didn't come here for nothing. I must give him a big surprise before leaving."

"Then I'll just wait and see..."

Jin smiled and stood up, then killed a few more pirate minions who saw his appearance. "But I still firmly believe that this man...cannot be defeated."

"Then why do you cover your face all day? I see your faith isn't strong either."

“…You don’t understand.”

Hearing Caesar's teasing, Jhin paused in swinging his sword and looked at him in surprise.

But he didn't say anything more. He just silently picked up the mask on the ground, covered his face with it, and left.

Chapter 7 Yamato

The sky is filled with white clouds.

Caesar lay on the messy beach, his stomach rumbling loudly, but he didn't move at all.

The domineering aura just now almost drained his entire being.

However, that punch only managed to deflect Jhin's sword and barely landed a painless punch on his face.

Although the opponent has the powerful defense that is unique to the Lunalia clan, it is still weak. If Kaido had punched it, the result would definitely not be the same.

"The domineering color is entangled..."

Caesar closed his eyes, and the aftereffects of the domineering color seemed to still be surging in his blood.

He just fell on the beach, thinking about the feeling before, and was silent for a long time.

Suddenly, Caesar frowned slightly, and an invisible wave spread out, gently rolling up the surrounding dust.

"Ha! Conqueror's Haki! So it was you who was fighting here just now?!"

A hearty voice suddenly came from above his head. Caesar opened his eyes and a tall figure appeared before him.

She was a beautiful girl from the ghost tribe with gradient white hair and blue-green hair tips.

The girl was wearing a white sleeveless kimono and a wide, fiery red skirt. She had shackles on her smooth wrists and a thick shimenaro tied around her waist like Kaido. The pair of red demon horns on her head were very eye-catching. Her body, which was more than two meters tall, blocked the sunlight above her head tightly.

Appeared!

In the main storyline, a woman whose strength is second only to Big Mom!

Caesar looked at the beautiful face carefully. Her fair and tender cheeks were as delicate as a baby's, and her tall eyebrows made her bright eyes look more stubborn and sharp.

"Is there a problem?"

Caesar spoke lazily, tilted his head slightly to find a comfortable angle, and quietly admired the towering peaks.

This scale is truly a miracle...

"Judging from your appearance, you must be from outside, right?"

The girl looked at Caesar curiously: "Pirate?"

"They are indeed pirates..."

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Caesar's eyes, and he sighed in mock frustration, "To be precise, I was captured by Kaido and forced to join the Beasts Pirates."

"Eh? Caught it?!"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across the girl's face: "That bastard...actually did such a thing!"

"Pirates, of course, will rob anything they set their sights on, though it's no loss to me..."

Caesar sat up with great effort: "By the way, my name is Caesar, what's your name?"

"My name is Yamato! I'm Kaido's son!"

As the girl spoke, she knelt down beside Caesar, leaning her hands on her knees, and rubbing the hem of her skirt with her fingers as if she was at a loss.

"I'm so sorry about what happened to you! Although I don't get along with that guy, anyway..."

"It's ok."

A smile flashed in Caesar's eyes. He didn't expect to meet the other party in such a situation.

Speaking of which, the reason why he was willing to stay here obediently was partly to learn domineering, and the other part was for the white-haired girl in front of him!

Beneath her beautiful appearance is a character as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and powerful strength inherited from Kaido!

For Caesar, who wants to establish his own power in the future, Yamato is undoubtedly a very reliable partner.

Of course, before that, I have to clean up the little head that was poisoned by Oden...

Thinking of this, Caesar had a plan in mind and smiled: "We can't choose our birth, but we can choose what kind of person we want to become. It can be seen that you and he are not the same kind of people."

Upon hearing this, Yamato was slightly startled, his beautiful eyes widened, and his eyes sparkled with bright light.

"Ha... What? You're such a good guy!"

Yamato smiled innocently and raised his hand to pat Caesar's shoulder.

With a dull thud, Caesar hit his head on the beach.

"Ouch! Sorry, sorry!"
