One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Robert asked in confusion, "Then what are you doing?"

Luo, somewhat recklessly, said, "I intend to feign cooperation because only in this way can I make them carry out this suicidal plan. Once they actually release the poison gas in Impel Down, I will find a way to leave immediately. At that time, not only will the entire Donquixote Family die, but Vergo will also suffer endless pursuit from the Navy!"

Robert apologized, "I'm sorry, brother. I was reckless. Let me think of a way to make amends."

Luo smiled bitterly: "It's too late. We've already alerted the enemy. We need to change our approach and take control of Caesar Courland directly."

Robert nodded vigorously: "You're in charge of the planning this time, and I'll cooperate with you as much as possible!"

Luo straightened up: "Why don't you unlock these chains for me first?"

Robert's henchmen, as usual, opened the clasp on the seastone chain, and Robert stood up to stretch his limbs:

"Vergo went back to handle the formalities. He is a naval commander in the New World, and he must have a reasonable reason to return to the first half of the Grand Line."

"So now we must take over this lab completely before he returns, and we must not make too much of a commotion, lest Caesar Courland send a signal to Vergo!"

Robert said confidently, "Leave it to me. With our combined strength, taking down Caesar Cullen silently is a piece of cake."

Suddenly, fierce shouts of battle erupted outside, like a slap in Robert's face.

Luo looked at Robert in disbelief: "Is this what you meant by 'silent and undetected'?"

Robert looked equally innocent: "This really wasn't a backup I arranged! I came on my own..."

Robert was halfway through his sentence when he wanted to slap himself. He hadn't come alone; damn it, he'd brought that giant girl, Lily, along with him!

The two used their Devil Fruit abilities to rush out of the small warehouse. Outside, guards in protective suits were gathering in a certain direction. When they saw Robert and Robert, they immediately shouted and rushed up.

Robert wasn't going to be polite to these low-level thugs; they were all heinous death row inmates who had been sent here as experimental subjects.

Later, a gas leak occurred here, and many people survived by hiding in the sealed laboratory. After Caesar Courland, the culprit, secretly returned, he recruited these surviving death row inmates into his own ranks.

Already guilty of numerous evil deeds, and now aiding and abetting the wicked, Robert unleashed a wide-range electric shock, instantly wiping them out.

"Where is Caesar Courant! I'm going to subdue him now!"

At this point, any explanation would be superfluous. The only option is to capture the leader first, take down Caesar Courland, and hope that he hasn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation and hasn't warned or asked for help.

Luo pointed to the large door on the left: "His core testing area is behind this door. Let me break it open!"

Robert grabbed his right hand, which was about to draw his sword: "The commotion outside is most likely caused by Bepo and his gang. Go and rescue them. I'll take care of Caesar Clown; your abilities are a bit too much for him."

Without the slightest hesitation, Luo turned and rushed towards the entrance. His trust in Luo Ba was built up through their repeated collaborations and could be considered unbreakable.

Robert, transformed into lightning, shot through the crack in the door:

"A true villain like Caesar Courant is much easier to control than those overly kind people!"

If the leader in Chapter 19 says something simple, then it's highly likely that things aren't so simple.

Instead of staying in the lab, Caesar Courant stood in front of a large surveillance system, staring intently at the screens.

Compared to his dedication to scientific research, he was more concerned about his own safety and personal gains. As a scientist himself, Vegapunk was much more pure in his heart.

The surveillance footage made no record of when Robert infiltrated the gate until he and Robert appeared together just now and took care of all the guards outside the gate in an instant, which made Caesar Cullen panic.

Before that, he only thought that the foolish giant father and daughter had discovered they had been deceived, so the daughter who could shrink had come to demand an explanation.

Caesar Courland was prepared to drug Lily and use her as a hostage to force Panz Fry to forever plunder food and provide meals for the island.

But Robert made him realize that things were probably not that simple at all.

The fact that Robert and Law colluded to actually occupy Dressrosa is basically a consensus among all the forces at sea, although they have never publicly admitted it.

Doflamingo was defeated by Robert, and the people of Dressrosa called him a hero. However, it was Law, who had just become a Shichibukai, who overthrew the Donquixote Family and occupied Dressrosa. Nobody would believe that the two of them had nothing going on.

As Doflamingo's partner, although the agreement was only recently reached and the two sides were still getting to know each other and testing each other, Caesar Clown was constantly keeping an eye on Doflamingo's movements.

The moment he was defeated, Caesar Courland gathered all the information he could find on the market.

This sudden departure of Law from Dressrosa to the island really startled Caesar Claudio. Fortunately, Vergo happened to be on the island at the time, discussing with him the details of releasing poison gas into Impel Down, which allowed them to join forces and capture Law.

Now that Robert has appeared in the underground lab, his first instinct is to call for help, but not to Vergo, but to Big Mom!

Facing Law, a Shichibukai, Caesar Clown believed that his Devil Fruit combined with Vergo's physical skills would be enough to deal with him, never imagining that Law was putting on an act.

But Robert is different. His reputation precedes him. Robert's level is too high now. Caesar Cullen feels that at least one of the Sweet Commanders would be needed to barely deal with him, and preferably two!

The Den Den Mushi had just been taken out when it suddenly vanished into thin air, as if it had been seen by a ghost.

Caesar Courland's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, but he reacted extremely quickly, his body instantly exploding into a cloud of gas.

Just as he thought he was safe, he heard a sharp crack in his ear, and a small spark exploded out of thin air, followed by flames filling the entire monitoring room.

The massive explosion instantly blew the door outwards. Although the staff in the monitoring room wore gas masks and survived Caesar Courland's indiscriminate attack, they could not escape the subsequent explosion.

Caesar Courland was shocked and hurriedly cut himself off from the ignited gas. He then quickly extracted the oxygen from his surroundings, creating a fireproof space.

But Robert showed him no mercy, and lightning struck him instantly.

Caesar Clown was just an ordinary researcher who developed some techniques based solely on scientific principles after eating the Gas-Gas Fruit, but never seriously trained his combat skills.

Faced with a master like Robert, who had grown through countless battles, he didn't even know whether he should transform into an elemental form or continue to maintain his physical body.

The elementalized body can be ignited by lightning. The elementalization of Logia-type Devil Fruit users is not unlimited. With his weak body, if the gas that his body turned into was constantly ignited by Robert, it would be no different from burning his life.

Without elemental transformation, physical resistance to lightning would result in an even faster death.

Caesar Cullen hesitated for less than a second before his body was severely injured by Robert's combined attack.

There was no need to consider whether to transform into an elemental form anymore; Caesar Cullen was instantly charred black and went into shock from the electric shock.

Robert was afraid that the man was cheating, so he used his Observation Haki to scan him for a long time before he realized that the man had actually been easily knocked unconscious by him.

Robert hadn't fought such a weak enemy in a long time, and for a moment he was even a little unaccustomed to it.

A series of pounding sounds came from the gate, then paused for a moment before being sliced ​​in two by a sharp blade. The giant Lily and the entire Heart Pirates rushed in behind Law.

Looking at Caesar Courland lying unconscious on the ground and Robert, who looked completely relaxed, Luo let out a soft sigh of relief.

"He shouldn't have tipped off Vergo, right?"

Robert pulled out a Den Den Mushi: "I was just about to make a call when I snatched it away. And judging from its appearance, it probably doesn't belong to Vergo."

Luo pointed his longsword at Caesar Courland, whose beating heart had already been removed.

"Did you go a bit too far? How long will it take for him to wake up?"

Robert shrugged: "I didn't expect the guy you managed to take down to be so weak. I really held back, and I almost electrocuted him."

As Robert spoke, he used an electric current to stimulate Caesar Courland's nerves, quickly waking him up.

Caesar Courland was still a little dazed when he opened his eyes. As his gaze slowly focused and he saw Robert, the god of death, he was immediately terrified and trembled all over.

Luo, clutching his heart, stepped forward: "I originally intended to pretend to be captured by you, but as you can see, my friend was a little worried, so he came to our door."

Caesar Courland's eyes darted around, his expression cunning yet rigid.

Luo squeezed his heart hard, and Caesar Cullen instantly broke out in a cold sweat from the pain. His tall but slender body curled up on the floor like a shrimp, gasping for breath and unable to even scream.

"This heart in my hand looks familiar, doesn't it? It was just taken from your chest cavity while it was still warm. If it's injured, you're injured. If it's cut in half, you'll die!"

Whether from fear or pain, Caesar Kula trembled uncontrollably, and after a long while, he finally spoke in a tearful voice:

"Please spare me, gentlemen! I'm willing to be your dog, please don't kill me!"

Luo sneered, "Being my dog ​​is a matter of whether you're worthy. I'm asking you, did you tip off Vergo just now?"

Caesar Courland shook his head repeatedly: "What is he? Does he even deserve to deal with the two of you? I promise I will never work with him again. I will only supply Dressrosa!"

Luo's face was grim: "No, I want you to continue cooperating with Vergo, and even give him a push to attack Impel Down!"

Caesar Courland nodded vigorously, and Robert turned to look at him: "I've finished speaking. Do you have anything to add?"

Robert cleared his throat: Then I'll just say a few words!

Chapter 20: After being manipulated for so long, who wouldn't want to be a leader?

"Caesar Courant, don't blame me for looking down on you, all your research is utter garbage."

When Robert was an apprentice in the kitchen, the head chef used this method to manipulate him. Once the tone of the first sentence was set, the subsequent cursing would flow smoothly and easily break down a person's psychological defenses.

Caesar Courland was a truly cunning and opportunistic man; he didn't seem angry at all and even nodded and smiled in agreement.

Robert pointed around and said, "Tell me, is it fair that we captured you today? There are so many things in the world that can be studied, but you had to do those shady things, like kidnapping children for human enlargement experiments. I don't even have to lift a finger to parade you through the streets; the parents who lost their children would eat you alive."

Before Robert could react after he finished speaking, Lily was already angrily about to hit him.

The giants in the One Piece world seem to grow tall but not very smart; they're all quite naive. While they're not as easily fooled as the Tontatta tribe, they're still a prime target for telecom fraud.

Previously, after being easily fooled by Caesar Courland's men, who claimed that their island had suffered a disaster and the islanders were about to starve to death, the father and daughter volunteered to take on the heavy responsibility of robbing passing grain ships to provide them with food.

This time, after being forcibly taken underground by Robert, Lily couldn't stay idle. She secretly shrunk her body and sneaked into the laboratory.

Before she even discovered that they were experimenting on the children, Lili was already furious when she saw the managers eating the delicious food their fathers made while the children were eating coarse food. That's why the riot happened earlier.

Now, when Robert tells her that those children were actually captured by Caesar Courant from neighboring countries for experiments, Lily immediately wants to punch him to death.

Robert raised his hand to block Lily's attack. Although the giants were exceptionally gifted, Lily, who only knew how to use brute force, was indeed powerless against Robert.

Caesar Courland was still being evasive, pretending to be scared even though he knew Lily couldn't hurt him.

Robert said coldly, "You instigated people to rob my grain ships and kidnapped children from the Dressrosa territory to conduct experiments. I have a legitimate reason to beat you now, so you will have to work for us for the rest of your life to pay off your debts."

Upon hearing this, Caesar Courland was not in despair, but rather relieved. As long as Robert showed that he needed him, it meant that Robert would not kill him.

"That would be my honor. I enjoy doing small experiments in my spare time, and to have caught your eye is a great honor. From now on, I will..."

Robert raised his hand to interrupt him: "I've already said it, all your research is rubbish, I don't care about any of it."

Caesar Courland stood there, completely bewildered. He had no idea what Robert meant. On one hand, Robert told him to work to pay off his debts, and on the other hand, Robert said he didn't even care about Courland's research. What kind of work could Courland do besides doing scientific research?

"Don't even mention that experimenting on children is immoral. Just your giant human experiment is a joke. Giants are right there. Turning normal people into giants is pointless. It would be faster to just do hybridization."

Upon hearing the word "hybridization," Lili was so angry she wanted to punch Robert to death, but due to the difference in strength, she could only grit her teeth.

"Given the significant side effects of artificial Devil Fruits, you and Doflamingo dared to start production? I think you've lost your minds. Aren't you afraid Kaido will come after you for after-sales service?"

Caesar Clown felt a little guilty, but that was only because he was worried that Kaido would come after him after discovering the drawbacks of artificial Devil Fruits. He never really thought there was anything wrong with his research; he just thought that Robert didn't understand science.

"As for the weapons of mass destruction you are manufacturing, they are utter garbage!"

Caesar Clown hadn't taken Robert's attacks on the giantification and artificial Devil Fruit research to heart, because he wasn't particularly enthusiastic about those studies; he only used them to make some money to support his research on poison gas.
