One Piece: Start Collecting Nicolo

He glanced at Caesar out of the corner of his eye, only to see him looking at him thoughtfully.

"What are you looking at?"

Nami suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly hugged her arms, looking at Caesar with a wary look.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in little girls, so at least before you turn eighteen, you don't need to worry about what I will do to you."

Caesar laughed dumbly: "I was just thinking about which fruit would be more suitable for you."

"What? How rude! I do have some knowledge, okay?"

Nami curled her lips. "The fruit you're talking about, is it a devil fruit? The legendary treasure of the sea?"

Caesar nodded: "Yes, in fact, except for you, everyone else on the ship is a devil fruit user."

"Eh?!"

Nami's eyes widened in surprise, and she pointed at Bonnie. "Are all of you like this? Even Bonnie? If I remember correctly, one of those legendary things costs at least 100 million berries, right?"

"Don't worry, you'll find out later that what our team lacks the least is money and supplies."

Caesar smiled and said, "Let's go get the treasure first. The most valuable item in this treasure is a devil fruit. Maybe it will suit you."

Soon, everyone set sail again.

With Ajian and Nochigo seeing them off, the boat slowly sailed away into the distance. Nami stood at the stern with a cheerful smile on her face, waving towards the shore.

She didn't put down her hands until Kokoaxi Village disappeared from her sight, and a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

"Don't be sad. Once we have a new ship, we can cross the windless sea and bring it back at any time. It won't take much time." Caesar came to Nami and said lightly.

"Can you cross the doldrums?" Nami was surprised.

"By embedding seastone in the bottom of the ship, the outer ships can cross the doldrums. This is what the navy does. And I happen to be the ruler of Wano Country, controlling the export of seastone all over the world." Caesar said proudly.

Nami hesitated for a moment, but still asked, "What about the newspaper report about your alliance with the pirates..."

"That's true, but the Beasts Pirates have already transformed into a regular army and are currently the navy that protects Wano Country."

Caesar looked into the girl's eyes and asked, "Will you be disappointed?"

"Don't treat me like a child."

Nami sighed. "Turning a bunch of sea scum into an army must have taken a lot of effort on your part, right?"

Caesar nodded approvingly: "You are indeed very smart."

Nami also smiled proudly: "So where are we going? Over the years, I have occasionally gone out to sea and drawn some nautical charts. I have basically no problem sailing in the East China Sea."

"Did you know there's an uninhabited island three hundred nautical miles due east of the 162nd Marine Branch?"

"I know where it is."

Nami frowned upon hearing this. "But that place isn't a good place. You're allowed in, but not out. The currents around the island are extremely strong. Once you're caught in it... the chances of successfully leaving are slim to none."

"The treasure is on that island. I can guarantee that even if you get sucked in, I will be able to ensure your safety and get you out."

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go! Three o'clock! Full speed ahead!"

Chapter 82 Fruit Distribution

"Well... there's no need to be so anxious."

Caesar waved his hand gently. "The treasure was left there by a friend of mine. He's been wanting it for a while now, so it's not a big deal. Let's start the party first."

"Having a party?"

Nami was stunned: "Didn't you just say that time is urgent?"

“It’s not really urgent.”

Caesar smiled shyly, looking embarrassed: "I'm just worried that you'll be too emotional to leave, so I thought I'd coax you onto the boat first, hehe..."

"Nani?!"

Nami's face darkened. "Is that the reason? I didn't even have time to say goodbye to everyone. I wanted to bring a Belle Mère orange tree on board! You bastard..."

Wow…

A stack of Skeleton Yogis was handed to Nami. The girl's eyes flashed, she snatched the bills, licked her thumb lightly with her little tongue, and counted the bills quickly.

"You're unexpectedly handsome! Captain~"

"Ah, what a realistic woman!"

Bonnie stared at Nami in amazement, unable to believe how quickly the woman's expression changed. "Have you never seen money?"

Nami casually stuffed the bills into her pocket and smiled smugly at Bonnie: "Hehe, for a little girl like you who can be satisfied with just a piece of candy, it's hard for me to describe to you the benefits of money~"

"What? You're so weak, yet so arrogant..."

Bonnie pouted, looking unhappy. "Caesar once said that wealth without strength is just like floating duckweed. Rather than wealth, people should focus more on improving their own strength."

Nami chuckled and said, "That's true, but my strength is definitely better than a little girl like you, right?"

"Not really."

Caesar said cheerfully, "Bonnie is the user of the Sui Sui Fruit. She can transform into her adult form at any time, and she has an excellent fighting talent. You are no match for her right now."

"Nani?"

Nami was shocked: "If that's the case, then I'm..."

Caesar nodded affirmatively: "The weakest on this ship."

"Eh?!"

Nami couldn't accept it for a moment. Although she was very self-aware, it was a bit too depressing that she couldn't even compare to a child.

She glanced over the few people.

Bartolomeo…

Just look at that ferocious look and you will know that he is not someone to be trifled with.

Big bear…

Just looking at his size, you can tell how powerful he is!

As for the other three girls...

Nami cast a questioning look at Caesar.

Caesar understood Nami's gaze and explained, "Right now, besides me, the strongest person on this ship is Yamato."

Nami was shocked. She looked at the big bear that was as big as a hill and said, "What? It's not a big bear?"

"Their strength is actually about the same, but Yamato has some talents that Kuma doesn't have. You will find out later that Yamato is very powerful."

Caesar smiled and said, "Third place is undoubtedly Big Bear, followed by Baby5 and Robin. They both already have the initial qualifications to venture into the New World."

Baby5 and Robin are of similar strength, but Baby5's weapon fruit is more advantageous.

But putting aside the ability of the fruit, the two people's progress in practicing domineering is basically the same.

Baby5 has initially mastered the armament Haki, although it is still sometimes effective and sometimes not. Robin has initially awakened the observation Haki, and is not very proficient, but has finally gotten started.

"Next up are Barto and Bonnie. By the way, although Barto's strength isn't that strong, his defense is so strong that even I might not be able to break it."

"Hey, what's the point? My duty is to protect Mr. Caesar and his ladies..."

Hearing Caesar's praise, Barto blushed and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Wait, this isn't fair. You're all capable people, I'm definitely no match for you!"

Nami was speechless for a moment: "What kind of monsters are you guys? You all have eaten something legendary like a devil fruit!"

"Don't worry, I will find you a powerful fruit. However, whether it is top-level or not depends on your efforts."

Caesar's tone was playful, and Nami nervously grasped her collar when she heard it.

"What do you mean?"

"How rude..."

Caesar sighed and said, "I know a few fruits that are very suitable for your ability as a navigator. They are the nature-type Thunder Fruit, the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, and the mythical beast-type Blue Dragon Fruit."

"The Thunder Fruit can transform into lightning, the Cloud Fruit can transform into clouds, and the Blue Dragon Fruit can control the weather."

"The strongest of these fruits are naturally the Thunder and Azure Dragon. However, with your current strength, even if you eat these two fruits, you won't be able to unleash their full power. Therefore, the most suitable fruit for you at this stage is the Cloud Fruit. However, the Cloud Fruit is the only one of these three whose whereabouts I don't know."

"Nature type, mythical beast?" Nami looked puzzled.

"Devil Fruits can be divided into three types: Parahuman, Zoanthic, and Natural. Zoanthic is further divided into Common, Ancient, and Mythical. The most precious of these are naturally Mythical and Natural."

Caesar briefly described the categories of devil fruits.

"So what type of fruits do everyone have?" Nami asked curiously.

Caesar: "Yamato and I are mythical beasts, and the others are parahumans."

"Then, as a newbie like me... wouldn't that be a problem? Natural studies are too expensive, right?"

Nami waved her hands repeatedly. Although she was greedy for money, she still had her limits.

"Don't think too much. Each person can only eat one devil fruit. Except for Barto's ability, which I chose for him, the others all ate fruits when they were young, and they all have very high-quality abilities. Kuma's fruit ability is top-notch."

Caesar said seriously, "But I hope you can think carefully. The Thunder Fruit is known as the strongest nature-type fruit. Although both are nature-type fruits, they are completely different from the Cloud-Cloud Fruit. If you want to obtain this fruit, you need to undergo extremely rigorous training."

Nami laughed awkwardly: "Well...I'm a non-combatant!"

"Is that so?"

Caesar nodded: "That's a shame, this fruit would fetch billions if it were auctioned!"

Nami's smile froze when she heard that.

Caesar said, and sighed again: "And if you eat the Thunder Fruit, even if your friends are not around in the future, you don't have to worry about guys like Arlong. I thought you would be very tempted."

"you…"

Nami's expression changed, obviously touched by these words.

Caesar looked at Nami with a half-smile: "Why don't you reconsider it?"

"Ahhh, I know!"

Nami looked helpless: "But I'm just an ordinary person, don't expect me to be a monster like you..."

"Don't underestimate yourself. Your talents may far exceed your imagination."

Caesar said cheerfully, "If he is trained properly, and with the help of the Thunder Fruit, even if he can't become a top-tier warrior, he probably won't be much weaker than Big Bear."

At least Caesar thought there was no problem.

In the original novel, Ricky had a soft body, but after two years of training with 200 times the effort, he could blow up the big hand of the Evil King with a punch of all his strength.

Nami's physical fitness is definitely better than Coby's when he first appeared, right?

After all, he is a member of the protagonist group. Even if his talent is not as good as Coby's, it can't be too different, right?

In terms of time, it was only 1517 after the Chinese New Year, and there were more than three years before the main storyline began, so there was plenty of time.

With him as a vampire, there is no need to worry about getting injured.

As long as Nami can calm down and practice, with the help of the Thunder Fruit, even if she can't reach the level of the Three Calamities in three years, she will definitely be stronger than the Flying Six.

"By the way, Caesar..."

Yamato tilted his head. "What was that Blue Dragon Fruit you just mentioned? Are we going to take my father's fruit?"

"No, the fruit can only be taken after the user dies."

Caesar shook his head. "But I have the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit that Vegapunk researched. It has exactly the same abilities as the Blue Dragon Fruit, except it can't awaken and its color is different."

"Artificial fruit?"

Robin was surprised: "You can even do something like this?"

"Um…"

Caesar looked at the artificial Blue Dragon Fruit in the system.

【Artificial Blue Dragon Fruit*100/100】

"Fuck!"
