One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Chapter 1 Lord of the Thunder Department

The situation on the Sky Island has met Robert's expectations. Once the goal of spreading the faith is achieved, Robert has no other concerns and is ready to end the battle decisively.

The Whitebeard Pirates' attack on Skypiea was clearly an act of aggression, but Gan Fall of the Kingdom of God was easily fooled, and the Grand Elder was even more adept at self-conquest, managing to manipulate himself without Robert having to fabricate a story.

Now the other three countries are preparing to settle their debts through war and take the initiative to attack the Kingdom of God. As long as we defeat their allied forces in one battle, and then pursue them back to their homeland and bring them under our control, there will be no moral qualms about retaliating against the invasion.

The young men of the Land of Gods who had rushed to support Robert after seeing Kaido swaggering across the sea of ​​clouds no longer needed to return; they were instead led directly to the end of the ocean current connecting the White Sea and the White-White Sea.

The allied forces of the three kingdoms had just stormed onto the White Sea and were reorganizing their troops. Robert floated in mid-air without saying a word, pondering what move he should use to project a divine aura without killing them all, since these people would be his source of faith in the future.

Then the elder stood at the bow of the ship, dancing and gesturing wildly, before shouting, "Odin, the king of gods! Grant your loyal servant invincible power!"

The Shandians took the lead in responding, and soon all the young men of the Kingdom of Gods roared and surged forward, just like the Boxers who had drunk talisman water. They picked up their weapons and were ready to fight the three-nation allied forces, which outnumbered them several times over, in close combat.

Just as Robert was about to stop him, a sudden thought struck him: he was only pretending to be a lone wolf; it would be much bigger if he brought his followers along to pretend too!

"Open your heart, accept me, believe in me, recite my name, and receive my gifts!"

The eldest elder, the leader of the charlatans, reacted the fastest, taking the lead in shouting, "Recite the name of the gods! Receive the blessings of the gods!"

The allied forces of the three kingdoms were momentarily confused about what the people of the Kingdom of God were up to, and despite their overwhelming numerical superiority, they dared not advance.

After the Rumble-Rumble Fruit awakens, it can assimilate all things within a limited field and transform them into elements. However, when applied to living beings with independent consciousness, the effect is somewhat diminished.

Robert had previously tried to teleport with Karina using his elemental powers, but this was only possible when she trusted him and had low guard.

Now that his Devil Fruit ability has awakened to another level, it is easier for him to assimilate others. However, if he wants to assimilate so many people at once, they still need to cooperate.

The Shandians originally had low levels of education and short periods of socialization. They were influenced by religion, ancestor worship, and other cultural practices for many years. With respected elders like the Great Elder leading the way, they were most likely to believe in Robert, the so-called god.

They began calling out Odin, and Robert easily established a connection with them.

In an instant, hundreds of Shandian warriors felt changes in their bodies. The most obvious change was a significant increase in reaction speed, and sparks began to fly from their bodies from time to time, like trying to pull a metal doorknob while wearing a sweater in winter.

They didn't know what this change represented, only that since it was a divinely bestowed ability, it would surely lead them to victory. They shouted like they were on steroids, leaping off their ships and charging towards the allied forces of the three kingdoms, riding on their wind-blown skateboards.

The young men of the Kingdom of Gods following behind were still hesitant. They had just met Robert a few days ago, and although they were quite impressed by his miracle of sending food from the sky, they were not the brutes of the Shandians and were still somewhat afraid of fighting.

But when they saw that the Shandian warriors had only shouted the name of God a few times and their bodies were crackling with electricity, and that a few hundred of them dared to charge at a dozen or so enemy ships, they were also swept up in the emotion.

After all, if these most capable Shandians were defeated, the Kingdom of God would also be doomed, and the food they had just acquired would definitely be stolen. They feared that they and their families would be captured by the other three kingdoms and forced into hard labor.

With this thought in mind, the able-bodied men of the Kingdom of God also set sail and followed, at least to provide some support to the Shandian warriors.

Since they had already set sail, some of the young men from the Kingdom of Gods, with some skepticism, began chanting Odin's name.

Slogans, once uttered, are bound to stir emotions.

Many people, as they chanted, discovered that they indeed possessed some strange power, and naturally, they chanted even more devoutly. As a result, Robert's ability to assimilate their elements became smoother, creating a virtuous cycle.

The Shandians at the front had already boarded the enemy ship. They were a warrior race that lived by fighting, having fought since childhood, and were stronger and more experienced than the armies of the three sky island nations.

Now empowered by Robert's lightning, he is even more invincible. With a flick of his spear, the electric current paralyzes the enemy before it even touches them, leaving them defenseless.

Robert was highly focused and ignored the attacks, leaving the Shandians to do whatever they wanted with their lightning enchantments.

But if they are about to be injured by weapons, Robert will concentrate his energy and instantly turn them into elements.

Many Shandian warriors are accustomed to fighting a style of combat where wounds are exchanged for wounds; in their culture, scars are a warrior's medals.

But when someone discovers that the knife that was supposed to strike them has passed right through them without causing any damage, the situation on the battlefield has completely changed.

They became more devout, constantly chanting the name of Odin, and their fighting style became increasingly ferocious. What used to be small teams of a few people were now one person chasing after several opponents and hacking them down.

The allied forces of the three countries only lasted a few minutes before completely losing their fighting spirit. After all, anyone would break down when they saw their comrades being easily defeated with a single blow, and when they could not even harm the enemy despite their best efforts.

Even the officer in charge was in despair, watching his men being slaughtered as if they were lined up. One high-ranking official turned and ran, trying to jump into a lifeboat and escape alone.

Robert paid attention to every detail on the battlefield, letting the officer leave the fleet in a lifeboat before waving his hand to electronically pull the officer and the lifeboat into the air.

Even soldiers who still had a sliver of fighting spirit lost all hope after seeing their officers leading the retreat. Faced with an enemy they couldn't harm in the slightest and officers abandoning their troops to escape alone, the battle was no longer worth fighting.

Robert's voice boomed like thunder: "Those who recite my name are my people!"

The soldiers of the Three Kingdoms were still bewildered when the Grand Elder led the way, shouting, "Those who chant the name of Odin will not be killed!"

The Shandians shouted across the battlefield: "Those who chant the name of Odin will not be killed!"

The soldiers were terrified and began shouting Odin's name in unison.

As the young men of the Kingdom of God approached by ship, they saw Shandians, their bodies crackling with lightning, seemingly possessed by gods, defeating an enemy ten times their size without a single casualty.

They also spontaneously began to shout Odin and charge into the battlefield, but by then the enemy had already collapsed, and these Sky Island youths could only do some work such as controlling prisoners of war.

Robert felt uncomfortable listening to the repeated calls of Odin. He was a Chinese man, and he couldn't pretend to be a Norse god for the rest of his life.

"I'll have to find a chance to make up some myths for them later, at least to get them to change how they address me."

"What god-king Odin?"

"Where is the grandeur of the Lord of Thunder, the Heavenly Venerable Who Responds to the Origin of Thunder and Spreads Universal Transformation in the Nine Heavens!"

Chapter 2: The Celestial Venerable dares not impersonate, but the True Lord is still acceptable.

The fighting power in the world of One Piece cannot be measured by the standards of the real world.

There are various fantastical races, a system of Haki that can be strengthened through training, and Devil Fruits that can instantly elevate one beyond the level of ordinary people once consumed. The outcome of the war can no longer be determined by the number of people involved.

The Shandians were already strong fighters, and with the added boost of Robert's lightning and their fearless fighting style, they routed the allied forces of the White Sea Kingdoms in less than half an hour, let alone half a day.

The key point is that the ocean flow route from White Sea to White Sea is one-way. You can take this route to come up, but you have to go to another place to go back.

The White Sea soldiers, aboard their ships, were blocked at the entrance to the White Sea by the Kingdom of God, finding themselves in a dilemma.

Fortunately, Robert had given the order that those who surrendered would not be killed and that prisoners would be treated well. The Shandians now regarded him as a god, and even though they had just been fighting each other, they would not hesitate to stop now.

The ability to transform into elements was too overpowered. These Sky Islanders were lazy in their training and had never fought any decent battles. They hadn't mastered Haki at all and were completely unable to cause any damage to the Shandian warriors.

A one-sided massacre would not ignite the true rage of the Shandian warriors. With no casualties on their side, there was no hatred that could not be resolved. Robert's order for them to stop would not affect their faith.

As for Bai Hai's soldiers, they were just grateful to have escaped being hacked to death; who would dare to even think about revenge?

They themselves knew that the people of the Kingdom of God had done nothing to wrong them; they only possessed a piece of land that others coveted. It was unreasonable for them to attack them, and it was only natural for them to fight back and kill each other.

The Shandians find it easy to tell if someone is up to no good. Anyone who shouts Odin's name and sincerely surrenders, whether out of fear or for some other reason, has a very weak mental defense. Robert can easily pull them into the elemental ranks.

The Shandians would let them go as soon as sparks flew from their bodies.

Conversely, Robert found it difficult to assimilate those with ulterior motives or hidden hatred, so he didn't waste his time on them and simply bypassed them to assimilate others, leaving the Sandians to intimidate them.

If they react quickly and sincerely surrender, that's fine. But if they outwardly comply but inwardly resist, the Shandians will immediately shoot them dead and throw them into the sea of ​​clouds.

With the lessons learned from the few troublemakers, and with the addition of young and strong Sky Islanders from the Kingdom of Gods, the invading allied forces of the three kingdoms were quickly brought under control.

Although Robert used his Thunder God skill when fighting Kaido earlier and it was still on cooldown, he didn't want to break through the limits of his strength. Simply simulating the majestic and imposing stance was still quite easy for him.

After a moment's thought, Robert realized that it was inappropriate for someone so young to impersonate the Three Pure Ones with their long beards. The main reason was that he was extremely wary of these supreme deities of Taoism, fearing that if he were to impersonate them and act like a ghost, the omnipotent elders would cross over and enforce the law.

With a swift movement, a youthful figure formed from lightning appeared between heaven and earth, handsome and refined, with elegant and serene demeanor, and an imposing and majestic presence.

With his helmet and armor, and even four banners on his back that shimmer with electric light, he looked exactly like a Peking Opera martial arts performer.

Gungnir circled and swirled around us, adding to our intimidating presence.

"The people of the moon have fallen to such a state, like slaves and barbarians."

Robert looked down at the battlefield from his high vantage point, and even his cursing was intimidating enough, let alone his eloquent nonsense.

The elder bowed deeply, muttering something unintelligible, which in turn created a lively atmosphere.

“Return to where you came from, and call my name. Divine soldiers will appear to help you escape from the sea of ​​suffering.”

The elder paused, momentarily unsure how to cooperate with Robert. They had just won a great victory, and now, pressing their advantage, they could wipe out the three unsuspecting kingdoms.

But Robert's meaning seemed to be that he wanted to release all the prisoners, which Robert couldn't understand.

Robert snorted coldly, and the Grand Elder dared not say a word. He ordered all the Shandians to retreat back to the God's Kingdom ship and supervised the defeated soldiers of the three kingdoms as they headed back to the currents of the White Sea.

Marco and Ace watched the commotion until Robert returned: "You seemed to be having a lot of fun, huh? Why did you let everyone go back?"

Robert said, "I've been pretending for so long. How can I bring all the Sky Islands under my control if I don't act a little more mysterious? I can't just waste all that effort to make the people of the Kingdom of God believe me."

“We still have some old brothers left in various countries. Call the revolutionary army and tell them not to bother. We can finish the battle in half an hour. They probably won’t even have time to incite the people to revolt.”

"Now that the allied forces have suffered heavy losses, especially since the Shandians almost killed all the high-ranking officers and only released the ordinary soldiers, what do you think their fate will be?"

The Ice Witch Whiteybe, being the oldest and most knowledgeable, sneered, "You might as well kill them here and let them go. They'll be the scapegoats for the defeat, and those in power will probably pin all the blame on them."

Robert smiled like a fox: "What I want is for all countries to blame these ordinary soldiers. When we lead troops to conquer various countries, we will inevitably leave behind a reputation for aggression, which will be a hidden danger when managing them in the future."

"So I set a trap for them. Although these people were only pretending to believe me out of the pressure to survive, they will probably remember my kindness when they are wronged by their own people or even about to be executed."

"As long as one of them calls out my name, we'll take the opportunity to have Sugar release the brothers from that country's restraints and instantly transform into divine weapons to mow down the rulers."

"At that time, they will no longer be invaders, but heavenly soldiers and generals sent down by the gods to save all living beings in response to the people's call."

"That's what you call legitimate and justified!"

Whitebeard looked at him strangely: "What if none of these people believe you and refuse to call you by your name even if it means death?"

Robert curled his lip: "Are the Revolutionary Army just sitting around doing nothing? Can't they blend into the crowd and lead the chant? I didn't just start acting on the battlefield today. I've been turning into food and exorcising demons for the past few days. Haven't the legends reached the ears of those Sky Island people yet?"

Marco smiled and said, "I'll go down and take a look."

Robert was originally going to go too, but he decided to wait until the White Sea Three Kingdoms Allied Forces left White Sea before letting the people of the Kingdom of God go back first, and then he took the remaining cadres of the White Group and went to White Sea.

Without the obstruction of the White Sea of ​​Clouds, Robert's electromagnetic induction was instantly unimpeded, and the chaos on the White Sea was fully revealed to him:

"The Revolutionary Army is impressive! They said they needed half a day, but they've already taken action!"

Chapter 3: Northwest Baihai is in complete chaos.

The chaos doesn't stem from the three major powers, but rather from the small and medium-sized floating islands in the White Sea that resemble a federal self-governing society.

It must be said that the revolutionaries are quite adept at staging coups. Even on a sky island where resources are relatively scarce due to a lack of land, those with larger areas are always stronger.

Several large island nations, leveraging their population, resource, and geographical advantages, have historically exerted covert control over smaller neighboring countries.

Even if citizens of large countries are oppressed, their mentality is at least better than that of citizens of small countries. Just like so many people from large colonies, no matter how miserable their lives are, if you ask them to immigrate to India, they will immediately become both politically correct and professionally competent.

To stage a coup, one must precisely target the most miserable and lowest-status groups.
