One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

When news came that Kaido had sent troops to occupy Whitebeard's territory, Buggy was truly convinced of Robert's superiority.

Kaido has solemnly declared that Robert marched into Onigashima and fought with him. If it weren't for the fact that the two had conspired beforehand, as Robert said, there would be no way anyone could have escaped from Kaido's clutches without a scratch.

Pakistan Express mobilized urgently. Since the Punk Assad incident, a dark cloud has been hanging over the entire Pakistan Express.

Robert is an absolute powerhouse who is about to become the new Yonko. Although his own boss is not bad either, the scale of Buggy's Delivery Service is far smaller than that of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Despite the deep enmity between the two sides, Haildin still tries to curry favor with Lili and her father at their tent every day, but they always refuse to see him.

While other pirates admired their leader for being willing to offend a big shot like Robert for the sake of his subordinate's love, many of them were very uneasy, fearing that one day the entire Whitebeard Pirates would come to punish them.

Now the dark cloud is finally about to dissipate. Robert has offended Kaido and is too busy to take care of himself. Meanwhile, his boss is a despicable pirate who actually wants to take advantage of his weakness and even steal Dressrosa with his men!

Although Clay Bali has been everyone's base of operations for two years, to be honest, it's just an isolated island, a desolate place, nowhere near as bustling and prosperous as Dressrosa.

Some pirates even wondered if they could stop living a life of constant danger and start doing other business if they conquered Dressrosa. They heard that tens of thousands of support personnel were needed just to maintain trade in Dressrosa.

Pakistan Express specifically recalled all its dispatched mercenaries and spent a fortune renting over a dozen giant ships, heading in a grand procession towards Dressrosa.

Dressrosa was already in a state of panic, and a month or two ago, a large number of White Team members began to evacuate in an orderly manner.

At the time, India only claimed that it was to mobilize manpower to expand trade channels, and urgently recruited a large number of people from the people of Dressrosa to fill the labor shortage, which made everyone happy.

As more and more people left, even King Riku became somewhat afraid, even though he had been thinking about how to drive the pirates out ever since he ascended the throne, especially the Indians, who were the de facto rulers of the country.

But when the day came that all the trading experts from the Whitebeard Pirates really left, he was the one who panicked the most.

Dressrosa today is somewhat like a constitutional monarchy, with King Riku, as the king recognized by the World Government, responsible for maintaining Dressrosa's official status as a member state of the World Government.

The real decision-maker of the country is the Indian. He has everything under control, from planning the country's reconstruction to operating all industries, while the country's security is handled by Law's Heart Pirates.

When the profits were initially distributed, Luo and the Indians were supposed to take 70 percent of the country's tax revenue. However, in reality, the Indians decided how much tax the country actually collected, and the Riku family could only listen to the numbers.

Even the last 30 percent left for the national treasury is entirely up to the Indians to decide how to allocate.

Although the Riku family lived in luxury, and the Indians never blocked any of their financial requests, they believed it was because Dressrosa was so wealthy that their requests were just a drop in the ocean.

This massive volume of trade is based on the fact that all the trade within the territories managed by the White Legion, along with the logistics personnel, has been concentrated in the country of Dressrosa.

The large logistics team brought in a lot of business, essentially establishing Tokushima as the economic center of the White Army, and trade volume naturally increased dramatically.

In King Riku's eyes, the departure of these people was tantamount to the Whitebeard abandoning Dressrosa, signifying the imminent destruction of Dressrosa's prosperity.

In his view, the best-case scenario would be for all the Indians and Luo's people to leave, but for the White Army's logistics personnel to remain and be directly managed by the royal family, while the military force would be managed by his son-in-law Cyrus with his gladiators.

With the Pakistani Express army pressing in, Cyrus led his navy of gladiators to meet them. However, even during the standoff at sea, they discovered that the two sides were not even on the same level. Cyrus had never missed Law and his men as much as he did now.

"Where are the Dongtata tribe members? Why didn't they come to meet the enemy?"

Cyrus was sweating profusely, racking his brains to figure out where he could squeeze out more manpower.

Meanwhile, the captains of the Tontatta tribe, along with Baby-5, Buffalo, and other key members who had left Tokushima behind, were gathered in the Indian's office.

"Be serious when the fight starts, don't give up so easily. The adults said the whole world is watching us, no one will believe us if we act too fake."

Leo asked excitedly, "After this battle, can we go to sea with Robert Lando?"

Baby-5 also looked happy: "I didn't want to stay here for a long time. If you ask me, I should just ignore everything and go straight to Lord Robert."

Ah San smiled broadly: "Don't worry, the adults have everything arranged. Now, I'll assign the opponents!"

Chapter 8 Opening the door to thieves

The Indian man held a simple battle list in his hand: "Baby-5, Buffalo, you two will fight the giants of the New Giant Warrior Pirates."

Although he was short due to malnutrition in his childhood, he was not bad-looking. Now that he has eaten the Swallow Fruit, he can freely modify and optimize his physique. His temperament has also naturally improved as he has been in power over a country for the past two years, and his words and actions are full of authority.

"The adults specifically instructed that Buffalo should not fly too high so that the enemy cannot retaliate. They should find an opportunity to pretend to cooperate with the Baby-5's dive bombing to give the enemy an excuse to shoot you down."

"And Baby-5, you're not allowed to use those tricks that the adults taught you. Just use the skills you had when you were a mercenary. Those are your trump cards, don't expose them at a time like this."

Baby-5 was only thinking about finishing the filming as soon as possible and leaving to follow Robert, while Buffalo, who had never had any opinions of his own, had no objections to what the Indian had arranged.

Next up are the eager little people of the Dongtata tribe, who are the ones that Ah San and Robert are most worried about.

The Dongtata people are innocent and naive; they believe whatever others say. It took the Indians two years to learn how to communicate with them in order to arrange work most efficiently. They also had to send people to keep an eye on them, not because they were afraid that these scoundrels would outwardly comply but secretly betray them, but because they were afraid that they would be deceived by others.

If we want to pretend to be attacked by pirates, we definitely need to fight a real battle. The Tontatta tribe is not weak in combat. If we don't let them fight, we will definitely be exposed. But if we send them to fight, we will be even more likely to be exposed.

"Leo, you're going to be facing several key members of Bucky's Delivery Service, including but not limited to Beast King Mochi, Lion God Leigh, and Unicycle Sword Saint Kabakki,"

Ah San felt uncertain when he thought about Robert's arrangements, but when the time came, he still chose to blindly trust Robert and repeat his orders verbatim.

"The master said that you don't need to choose who to fight. The pirates will swarm in, and the Tontata tribe will all charge to meet them."

“Those people are all professional actors, so there’s no need for everyone to hold back or restrain themselves, just make sure no one gets killed.”

Leo's face was resolute: "Do we really have to go all out? What if...?"

Ah San added, "Let's turn down some water, and don't listen to the victory song."

The so-called Song of Victory is a cheat code that Robert designed specifically for the Tontatta tribe.

He commissioned a batch of portable music players from Egghead Island and told the warriors of the Dongtata tribe that as long as they listened to the war songs he played for them during battle, they would have immense power.

In reality, the purpose of this music player was entirely to use the loud music to mask the enemy's verbal attacks, so that the Dongtata tribe would not be naively deceived by the enemy.

The fact that the Dontata tribe is now going into battle without headphones gives Pakistan Express the opportunity to fool them.

All eyes were on the Indian man, who frowned and said, "Any other questions? If not, let's hurry up and set off. The Sword Fighting Corps is already in a standoff with Bucky's group in the open sea. If you don't show yourselves soon, it will arouse suspicion."

Baby-5 looked at him suspiciously: "What about you? Aren't you going to do anything?"

Back when India had just eaten the Gluttony Fruit, it showed some strength when fighting against the Donquixote Family. Later, Robert guided it many times on how to develop its fruit power. Everyone knew that India was actually a master.

But now that he has arranged everyone's opponents, he has not mentioned himself, which has left several people puzzled.

Ah San laughed and spread his arms: "I'm disabled, one of my hands is a prosthetic, and I usually do business and trading. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to make a move rashly."

"Besides, everyone left with the adults this time, so we can't just hand over Dressrosa and abandon it. So I discussed it with the adults and we decided to stay and watch over our stall."

What he said made sense, and the others didn't ask any more questions. In everyone's mind, Dressrosa was just a matter of transferring assets from one hand to the other, and it was indeed appropriate for the Indian to stay and continue operating the business.

Full of fighting spirit, the group rushed towards the battlefield, with Buffalo flying in the air being the first to arrive.

Bucky had already gone over the procedures with Robert and had also confided in several trusted subordinates.

Seeing Baby-5 launch a rocket straight at Bucky from its high vantage point, there was no need for the boss to intervene. Hajrudin, who was now willing to risk his life for Bucky, leaped out and easily blocked the attack with his arm.

The originally powerful explosion was like a small firecracker hitting the giants. Although Hajrudin felt a stinging sensation on his skin, it was nothing more than a tickle to the battle-hardened giant warriors.

He remembered Bucky's instructions and, with his few giant companions, rowed the ship to the side, pulling the battlefield aside.

Everyone knew that Baby-5's attacks were indiscriminate, and the enemy's giants were truly terrifying. So, they consciously ran away to engage in small-scale skirmishes, which everyone thought was the best arrangement.

Now that the battle had begun, Buggy's large number of pirates naturally did not hesitate and roared as they drove their ships toward the Dressrosa fleet.

Bucky shouted arrogantly, "Men! Only take them alive! These people will be our future assets, don't kill them easily!"

The pirates had no idea that their boss was afraid of angering those who killed Robert, and they laughed and replied, "Don't worry, Boss Buggy, we guarantee these goods will be alive and kicking after the war!"

Buggy's Delivery Service was formed from the foundation of one hundred great pirates who escaped from Impel Down. Although the new recruits they recruited later were of varying quality, after two years of continuous mercenary wars, their strength was quite good.

Now that Bucky has given the order, everyone is determined to show their boss how to outmaneuver their opponents and win, just like they're showing off their skills.

A uniquely shaped small boat floated into the air and arrived at the battlefield, instantly becoming a savior for the Dressrosa gladiators who had been on the defensive from the very beginning of the encounter:

"They are warriors of the Tontatta tribe!"

When the small boat flew above the battlefield, the Buggy Delivery pirates realized that the small boat was being dragged through the air by a huge swarm of pink bees.

Bucky's eyes widened the moment he saw the ship: "Mochi! Kabakki! Go and deal with the people on that ship!"

He thought about Robert's description, gritted his teeth, and shouted again, "Alvida! You're going too!"

Although the group usually joked around with Bucky, they would never sabotage him in a situation like this. They rubbed their hands together and directed the boat to rush forward.

Bucky looked worried. He didn't know if his unreliable men could defeat the Tontatta warriors. He could only hope for Robert's trump card.

"Gal Dino, don't wait until Mochi and the others are crippled before you make your move!"

Chapter 9 This is not what we agreed on!

Hajrudin and the others knew the inside story. After the battle at Punk Hazard, Bucky had a small meeting with the giants.

Bucky convincingly claimed that he had done Robert a great favor to persuade him to release Lily and her father, giving Halding the opportunity to pursue his own path.

However, Robert was, after all, a great pirate. He couldn't explain himself to his other subordinates without staging a wedding robbery, so the two fought fiercely on the island. As a result, Buggy signed many humiliating treaties that ceded sovereignty to the country.

This included increasing Robert's stake in Bucky Express. Bucky dared not tell his subordinates that Bucky Express did not actually belong to him personally, and that the two major shareholders, Robert and Crocodile, held stakes far exceeding his own. If his subordinates knew this, his authority would be completely ruined.

However, letting the cadres know that Pakistan Express has other powerful backers is also an effective way to maintain their confidence in the organization. Therefore, Pakistan has been looking for opportunities to reveal some information to them.

During this attack on Dressrosa, Bucky only confided in a few of his core subordinates, saying that he had acquired the country from Robert by promising him great benefits in exchange for a larger platform for development.

In order to create the impression of Bucky's Delivery Service's strength, Robert agreed to redeploy most of the defense forces, and the remaining combat personnel would also cooperate by feigning defeat.

Hajrudin and the other giants were originally quite helpless against enemies flying in the air. The combination of Buffalo and Baby-5 was too unbeatable, and none of these giants had eaten Devil Fruits, so they had no ability to fight off enemies.

But after receiving reassurance from Bucky, they felt more confident and unleashed a flurry of powerful moves, including leaping strikes and creating water curtains, making for a very exciting fight.

Mochi and Kabaki were in a much worse situation. Kabaki told them that the other side would put on a show, but the Tontatta tribe was ordered to go all out.

In the deal between Robert and Buggy, these veterans of the Buggy Pirates were essentially discarded pawns, used only to enhance the realism of the story.

Mochi and his lion Liki were sewn together by Leo, and then they were chased and stung by countless little bees.

Kabakki, riding his familiar unicycle that felt like his own legs, inexplicably fell off the deck, even deforming the wheel rim.

From the moment he fell to the ground, he was unable to get up again. A dozen or so Dongtata tribe little people rushed up and kicked him repeatedly, making him scream in agony.

Fortunately, Bucky had some conscience and sent Alvida to help, which prevented the group from being tortured for too long.

Alvida, having eaten the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, rampaged across the deck, completely disrupting the Tontatta formation. All physical attacks that hit her were deflected, and Leo, the only one who could harm her, couldn't catch up with her for the time being.

A sleazy-looking man with the number 3 above his head shouted at the little people of the Dongtata tribe: "I'm here to help you! Come to my weapon workshop to upgrade your equipment. Wear the candle-patterned outfit I made and you'll be able to attack that woman!"

The warriors of the Dongtata tribe immediately lit up and rushed in a line toward the huge white house that had appeared on the deck at some unknown time.

Before long, five hundred Tontata soldiers, along with several captains including Leo, were tricked into the Candle Hut by Third Brother Gal Dino and taken into custody.

Seeing the Tontatta tribe wiped out, the gladiators were devastated. What made them even more desperate was that Baby-5 and Buffalo were also knocked down by the giants during a dive bombing and their fates were unknown.

After losing all of its high-end combat power, the remaining gladiator legion was completely unable to withstand the attack of Bucky's Express and was quickly routed.
