One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

What they fear is that he has an unclear relationship with the CCP department, and that he might be a CCP agent sent to infiltrate the navy.

So it wasn't until he landed on Egghead Island and Vegapunk exposed his identity through some unknown means that he was truly exposed. Before that, the Navy hadn't even considered that possibility.

Now that Zephyr has resigned and the recruit camp has been disbanded, and his official position must be formally appointed, these navy gentlemen came up with the ingenious plan of sending him to the Sharp Blade Squad as a spy.

If I were truly a spy for the CP department, this move would be incredibly cunning—placing the most suitable person in the most suitable position, eliminating the threat while simultaneously striking.

The problem is that the three groups don't share information at all, so each thinks they know the most and they are all scheming against the other two, which has led to the ridiculous situation we have now.

Seeing that Robert remained silent for a long time, Alpha thought that he had broken down Robert's defenses, so he quickly tried to take advantage of Robert's weakest point to win him over.

"Don't be sad. The fact that you were outmaneuvered by the Admiral means you have value to be outmaneuvered. You are exactly the kind of person we need. After this mission is completed, I can introduce you to join us."

Robert didn't believe a word Alpha said. This woman was much more wary than the CP9 newcomer Nero he had met before. She hadn't even said the word "CP" yet, so there was no way she could have really absorbed him.

"Tell me what you plan to do first. I was going to take York with me anyway, whether you help me or not."

Alpha chuckled: "Do you know how important York is? She is the alter ego of the world's most powerful scientist, able to share all of Vegapunk's knowledge and research. Whoever controls her controls the world's most cutting-edge technology."

"The Navy may kick you out, but they will keep York firmly in their grasp. Without our help, you think you can take her away? Dream on."

Robert gritted his teeth: "I don't care how much you value York. In my heart, she's just a little girl who needs love. With me here, none of you will be able to take advantage of her."

Alpha gave her an aunt-like smile: "If I didn't know you had a girlfriend, I would really be moved by your infatuation. You big jerk, how dare you pretend to be so affectionate?"

Robert looked impatient: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Alpha quickly stopped him: "What's the rush? Do you think making a plan is so easy? There are many things we don't understand, and we need to verify them with you first before we can act effectively."

"How exactly did you and York get together? To be honest, we were all shocked when we heard the news. Although she's a clone with real flesh and blood, she's not exactly a normal human being, especially considering your sizes..."

Robert spoke in a tone that suggested he didn't understand emotions at all:

"If love between two people lasts forever!"

"How could it be subject to the boundaries and regulations!"

Chapter 9 Accidentally Entering the White Tiger Hall

Vegapunk's excuse for Robert was so despicable that I doubt any woman would give him a pleasant look.

Anyway, Peacock now looks like she wants to whip Robert, and she's speaking in a sarcastic tone.

"I thought your girlfriend's biggest rival was that girl on Beehive Island who was flirting with you, but I didn't expect you to like this type."

Unable to explain, Robert could only put on a scumbag act and say, "Didn't I tell you to connect with me on the details of the undercover operation in Dressrosa? What business is it of yours what kind of girl I like!"

Peacock rolled her eyes: "Do you need me to help you with the details of your undercover mission in Dressrosa? You're a naval hero who saved the nation. Oh, by the way, the person you were working with back then was your girlfriend's singing partner. Does she know you were planning to mess with her partner?"

Robert sighed deeply: "Peacock, you're a veteran naval officer, please don't let your personal likes or dislikes about me affect your work, okay?"

Peacock, hands on her hips, said, "Work, right? Lieutenant Colonel Robert, please address me as Major General Peacock at work! Also, remember to salute me when you see me in the future!"

Robert found this woman utterly unreasonable, which lowered his opinion of the Blade Squad even further. He simply stopped paying attention to Peacock and turned to leave the room with a cold face.

Since the other party is unwilling to communicate properly, there is no need for him to be subservient. He didn't propose the plan, so why should he put up with this for the sake of work?

After the meeting with the higher-ups ends, Lieutenant General He will definitely send someone to invite me back to discuss the details. Then I can just talk to her grandmother directly.

Robert found a scenic spot on the headquarters' terrace, leaned against the railing, and lit a cigarette. Since arriving in the world of One Piece, he had been smoking less and less, practically quitting altogether.

"I heard that Major General Peacock smashed up Staff Officer Crane's office?"

"You bet they would have chosen the Female Titan over her. How would you feel if they were in her shoes?"

Robert didn't intentionally use his Observation Haki to eavesdrop. He was quite discreet at Marine Headquarters, since there were many skilled people there, and someone might discover that he was listening in and arrest him as a spy who was stealing secrets.

However, the two marines who were talking were right below the terrace, and even without using Observation Haki, their voices still pierced right into my ears.

"I heard that Robert, that pretty boy, joined the army through his connection with Major General Peacock. Whenever there was a big event, he would get his hands on him and use his connections. That's how he became a hero and was promoted to lieutenant colonel like a rocket. Damn it, I've been in the army for over ten years and I'm still only a major."

Robert was so angry that he wanted to arrest the two gossiping bastards on the spot, but then he couldn't care less about them.

Because I subconsciously activated my electromagnetic field, wanting to hear these bastards gossiping about themselves more clearly, I unconsciously absorbed more of the surrounding sounds into my ears.

"I heard that Major General Peacock is almost pregnant. Given the father's attitude, do you think Lieutenant General Crane will kill him?"

"Just you wait, even Major General Peacock is crying. Robert is finished now."

Robert sensed something was wrong. He and Peacock were completely innocent. Although he hadn't looked too good when he came out of Vice Admiral Tsuru's office, he definitely hadn't broken up with Peacock. The navy outside shouldn't be spreading such outrageous rumors, right?

Robert disregarded the fact that this was the Navy Headquarters, expanding his field of influence to cover the entire island in an attempt to find the source of the rumors.

Holy crap!

Having just scanned the headquarters, Robert threw down his cigarette butt and leaped off the third-floor terrace, rushing towards the dock where the Admiral's ship was moored.

In his perception, the peacock was already swaggering towards Kizaru's warship.

If it were just Peacock herself, Robert wouldn't have cared much, but the person who guided her was none other than Alpha in disguise!

The moment Robert saw Alpha, he didn't even need to find out who spread the rumors; he already guessed the gist of it.

This is the Navy Headquarters. She's just an ordinary agent from the CP department, yet she dares to boast that she can help me take York away!

It's highly likely that the Navy is planning to get rid of this plague god and conveniently keep York, this great scientist.

To achieve their goals, these people in the CP are best at spreading rumors, sowing discord, inciting chaos, and taking advantage of confusion.

Robert can't use the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's teleportation ability right now, so he can only use Moonwalk and Shave to bypass half the island and head to the dock. Who knows what kind of bizarre situation those CP department lunatics will create for him.

Peacock pinched his nose and walked onto Kizaru's ship: "She can't enter headquarters without permission. I have no problem seeing her, but this woman isn't so arrogant as to refuse to even come up on the deck, is she?"

Alpha, disguised as a naval officer, saluted and whispered, "Rear Admiral, I'll go in and ask Dr. York to come out. Please wait a moment."

She followed Peacock onto the ship, and no one on Kizaru's ship stopped her. The surrounding marines only saw her salute Peacock, and no one could hear what she said. They only saw Peacock nod and assumed that Alpha's entry into the cabin was at Peacock's behest.

The crew on the deck hesitated for only a moment before Alpha rushed into the cabin. Only then did they realize that even if Peacock was a Rear Admiral, an admiral's flagship was not something that could be stormed at will.

Although they knew there would be people inside to stop them, the navy personnel on the deck still followed them down, but as soon as they entered the corridor, a violent explosion blew them out again.

Peacock frowned, and without hesitation, took out his whip and lashed it across the smoke-filled corridor. Instantly, the smoke dispersed to both sides, and the flames caused by the explosion obediently extinguished themselves.

Before Peacock could even enter to investigate, a bullet came hurtling towards him. Peacock, being a Marine Rear Admiral, was indeed quite strong. He used Armament Haki on his whip to block the bullet while instinctively using Paper Drawing to dodge.

York's languid voice came: "I only agreed to help the Navy repair some equipment because of Robert, but I didn't expect you to have such a wicked plan. Hmph, believe it or not, even if I demolish your Navy Headquarters, the World Government will still pardon me!"

Even if Peacock was slow-witted, she could guess that there was something fishy going on, but before she could explain, York's massive body had already approached at an incredible speed.

The peacock reacted extremely quickly, avoiding a direct confrontation with York, and used Shave to swiftly dodge backward.

York, however, wore a smug smile as a strange weapon in his hand suddenly produced a giant bubble that completely enveloped the peacock in mid-air.

In an instant, Peacock felt all her strength drain away, as if she were handcuffed with sea stone. The next second, there was a loud bang, and a bullet pierced the bubble, exploding into a bloody spray on Peacock's body!

"This woman is a pirate spy! She injured Vice Admiral Peacock!"

"General Borsalino has given the order!"

"Kill her!"

Chapter 10 is finished, it's coming for me!

Even now, Robert still thinks Alpha's methods are low-level. Just like York said, even if she blows up the Marine Headquarters, the World Government will most likely not do anything to her because she has value.

The Navy is nothing more than the Celestial Dragons' lackeys, while pirates are pigs and dogs. In the eyes of the World Government, they are all beasts, yet they are killing each other.

Vegapunk's technology alone is enough to shake the entire world. His clone was brought to the Navy Headquarters, and due to some minor tricks that could be easily discovered with a little investigation, he clashed with a Navy Rear Admiral, causing some minor damage, nothing serious.

That's why, when Robert saw that York stopped immediately after being shot at Peacock and voluntarily withdrew his bubble gun attack, he even slowed down.

Peacock also restrained herself and did not continue to attack. She was not stupid. York was clearly in front of her at the time, but the shot came from elsewhere.

Judging from York's reaction, this situation seems more like someone is stirring up trouble between the two sides, and it would be unwise to fight York to the death at this point.

The two women immediately reached an understanding and began to guard against their common enemy.

As soon as the two of them stopped, the blindly following junior naval officers naturally stopped their actions as well. They did not attempt to capture York further, but simply surrounded her.

Such a big incident alarmed all the high-ranking naval officers who were in a meeting, and Kizaru even returned faster than Robert.

“I’m quitting your jobs. Send me back to Eghelm, and Robert, we’re quitting too.”

Robert arrived late, just in time to hear York resign on his behalf.

Kizaru, with a mournful face, said, "This is really troublesome. Can someone explain what exactly happened?"

York pouted, "She tried to steal my man and even brought people to the ship to arrest me!"

The peacock, who was being pointed at, instantly exploded: "Do you think everyone is like you? You're the one who invited me here!"

Both of them had realized that something was amiss, but since the situation was under control, they naturally had to reveal the information that was in their favor first.

After asking a few questions, Kizaru understood the crux of the matter. First, some soldiers were discussing how Peacock was furious because he liked Robert, which York overheard. Then, the Navy came to inform them that Peacock would be coming to the ship to negotiate with York soon.

Peacock, on the other hand, received an invitation from York to come aboard the ship to talk because York couldn't disembark without proper paperwork. York threatened to cut off the navy's technology supply to force her to come.

The stories on these two sides are completely different, so the person who relays the message is very important.

But the two of them were paired up, and there wasn't just one messenger. Combined with the Navy members gossiping outside Yorkgate, it seemed like there was a huge secret organization at Navy Headquarters!

Kizaru immediately turned his head to look at Robert, but Robert's constipated expression didn't seem fake. Compared to Kizaru, Robert, the core of the battle between the two women, felt even more disgusted.

Vice Admiral Tsuru rushed over. She hadn't set off as early as Robert, nor could she travel at the speed of light like Kizaru, so she arrived only now.

As a naval strategist, Vice Admiral He immediately understood the situation. However, while it was one thing for someone to have deliberately plotted against them, a solution had to be found on the spot, otherwise naval discipline would become a joke.

"Rear Admiral Peacock, you have trespassed on the admiral's flagship without any permits."

Seeing her grandmother's businesslike attitude, Peacock immediately realized that this matter was unlikely to end well. Ignoring her injuries, she straightened up and replied:

"The report states, 'No!'"

Lieutenant General Crane nodded solemnly: "Imprison Major General Peacock in the headquarters cell, in a cell made of Seastone!"

General He treated even his own granddaughter with official rigor, which made his stance clear. No one present hesitated to compromise. Someone immediately stepped forward to take the weapon that Peacock had offered and led her to the prison cell without even treating her wounds.

Vice Admiral Tsuru then looked at York, who was winking at Robert: "Dr. York, you are just a researcher hired by the Naval Science Unit. Although you acted in self-defense under threat, it is still wrong to use weapons to injure people at Naval Headquarters without authorization."

"As you can probably tell, this matter is not so simple, so please cooperate with our investigation for the time being."

York curled his lip: "That's because your navy is dirty-handed. This is your headquarters, how could you let someone infiltrate here?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru gritted her teeth, not because she was angry with York, but because she herself felt that this matter was shameful.
