Chapter 60 A fateful encounter

The next day, noon.

The bright sunshine fell, and Caesar slowly opened his eyes as he was attacked from both sides by two pairs of soft thunders.

Feeling the warmth of the smooth skin on both sides, Caesar silently clasped his hands together.

Amitabha…

Great God of Time Travel, thank you for your kindness and generosity for bringing me to this beautiful world. I would like to send my most sincere blessings to this beautiful world!
Amen…

"Um...honey are you awake?"

Baby5 rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly stood up: "Sorry, I got up late, I'll go prepare breakfast now!"

"do not want!"

A white and slender arm reached out to Caesar and held baby5 down.

Yamato put his left leg on Caesar, with a hint of crystal at the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "I want to eat what Caesar cooks!"

"Is it possible that there is a chef in the mansion?"

"No! I want to eat what Caesar makes! What Caesar makes will glow!"

Yamato hugged Caesar tightly, rubbed Caesar's cheek lightly, and knocked Caesar's head with his devil horns.

"You don't do anything serious every day, just cook for you, right? Get up quickly!"

Caesar raised his hand and slapped the perky breast, then sat up.

Yamato then climbed up, supported himself on the quilt with his hands, and moved closer to Caesar. Da Lei was shaky: "I want to eat the Sukiyaki you made!"

"No, onee-sama!"

Baby5 also came over and gently took Yamato's arm. "How can you let your dear bother with something like this? Let me do it for you!"

"No, I just want to eat what Caesar made!"

Yamato kept moving closer to Caesar, and Baby5 pulled him aside.

Looking at the holy light shining in front of him, Caesar felt as if he was in another world.

Just like Robin said, he actually has two such innocent girls!
What's with the idea of ​​a couple living together? There's no need to think about it at all. After the banquet, the two of them spontaneously got together. Thinking about last night, it was really...

Wuhu!

“I feel refreshed, I feel refreshed!”

Caesar stretched and pulled out a recipe from somewhere, handing it to Baby5. "Since you're so willing, I'll teach you the secret recipe! When we put to sea, you'll be the ship's chef!"

“Hi~~”

Baby5 happily took the recipe and held it high up, as if he had obtained something invaluable.

"What about me, Caesar? What about me, me?"

Yamato looked at Caesar eagerly: "What kind of job am I responsible for?"

"Yamato will be the battle captain!"

Caesar said cheerfully, "From now on, all the combatants will be under your charge. How about that, combat captain?"

"Yes, sir!"

Yamato saluted Caesar like the navy in the comics, with a smile on his face.

Immediately she threw herself on Caesar again: "Caesar, how long will it take before we can go out to sea?"

"almost…"

Caesar patted the smooth jade-like back and spoke gently.

Compared to going out to sea, the biggest problem at the moment is that as his strength increases, there are no suitable opponents around him to serve as sparring partners.

Yamato is strong enough, but Caesar just can't bring himself to do anything to that face.

Fighting at the level of the Three Disasters can satisfy one’s needs, but it cannot help one break through oneself any further and can only serve as daily physical exercise.

And if you look for Kaido...

I believe that no matter how stupid the other party is, he will not serve as a sparring partner for me during this period of time. If a fight really breaks out, it will be a life-and-death battle.

To be honest, facing Kaido at this point in time, he couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Fortunately, his physical strength continued to grow. The only thing Caesar could do was to eat more, sleep more, and keep training.

Since you can't calm down, then turn it into motivation for practice and raise the value!

As long as you can't practice to death, practice to death!
After breakfast and his usual battle with Yamato, Caesar headed out to the suburbs. A massive five-meter-long cube of seastone appeared out of thin air before him. Caesar took a deep breath and dug his hands into the base of the seastone.

A feeling of powerlessness instantly spread throughout his body, but fortunately, because of wearing seastone products for a long time, Caesar had become more or less accustomed to it.

"Get up...for me!"

With a light shout, hundreds of tons of seastone were lifted up.

Caesar laughed loudly, threw his hands hard, and then raised his arms.

The boulder turned over gently, Caesar sank down, caught it steadily, and then slowly and firmly did a squat.

One, two, three...

One hundred, two hundred, three hundred...

Sweat slid down my jawline, and a day passed in the blink of an eye.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

Squats, long runs, push-ups, or even using seastone as a punching target...

Day after day, week after week.

Half a month later, Caesar calmed down.

He found that his attention was becoming more focused and his willpower was becoming stronger. Even when faced with the double embrace of Yamato and baby5, he could still get up at seven o'clock every day without fail.

With daily training, Caesar gradually felt a kind of beauty called numbers!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The unprotected fist hit the seastone hard. Days of beating did not change the stone, but Caesar himself gradually underwent a drastic change!

As his will became more concentrated, Caesar found that his use of Armament Haki became more and more fluent and more and more in line with his will.

By compressing the shock wave released by the Armament Haki, it reaches the size of an ordinary house. The slash released by rubbing the Armament Haki can easily cut through steel with a single stroke.

In addition, through the extreme training method of foreseeing the future at all times, Caesar discovered that his observation Haki seemed to have changed again.

He found that he seemed to be able to vaguely sense the target's inner thoughts and emotions.

And occasionally, for a few moments, Caesar felt that he seemed to be able to arouse the emotions of his target, such as making Yamato, who was already in high spirits, even more crazy...

There is no doubt that this is an extension of the Kōbunshūki technique - mind reading!
Not only can it read minds, it can also resonate with emotions.

In the original story, Princess Otohime of Fishman Island seems to have this ability.

Overall, the sense of quietness this time is completely different from the previous sense of transparency.

If I were to say the feeling last time, it was that I had opened up the body's authority, enabled dodge and prediction.

This time, Caesar felt like he had truly reached the maximum level, completely mastered this body, and integrated every movement into instinct!
boom--

Caesar kicked the boulder away and breathed a sigh of relief in the afterglow of the setting sun.

After wiping the sweat running down his cheeks, he paused slightly and looked in a certain direction with a sense of meaning.

There, a bear-eared man with a strong build and about the same height as Kaido was staring at him quietly.

The man was wearing a huge cloak, holding an airtight small cage in one hand and a piece of life paper in the fingertips of the other hand. The edge of the paper was slightly bent towards Caesar, as if guiding something.

"This is truly... a fateful encounter!"

Caesar smiled, a bright and warm smile with a sense of intimacy, which made the giant in front of him feel a little relieved.

Talk about feelings with Robin, talk about ideals with Yamato...

So what about the person in front of you?

Seeing the wooden cage in the other's arms, Caesar's eyes flickered slightly.

"Actually... this is the guidance from your Excellency's Life Card."

The bear-eared man spoke softly, his voice sounding very gentle.

"Ah, that's right!"

Caesar nodded as a matter of course: "This is also a fate I personally created!"

--------

PS: Sorry that it was delayed until morning. I actually wrote it twice and deleted it twice because I was struggling over which story would come first, Kuma or Kaido.

The opening of Kuma was a bit bland. The previous few pictures were bland enough, but the opening of Kaido was too hasty and abrupt.

In the end, I decided to follow the timeline and logic and start with the Big Bear story.
