One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

The two chatted without keeping it from others, and upon hearing what Robert said, a large gap immediately opened up around them, as if keeping a distance of ten or twenty meters would prevent them from being affected by the fight.

Law's situation was not as miserable as one might imagine. Although he was captured and his Devil Fruit powers were restrained by Seastone handcuffs, he remained composed while sitting in prison.

Even though he was locked up, Luo was restless, his eyes darting around, clearly looking for someone. When he saw Luo Ba, his eyes lit up.

Robert's gaze met his, and he nodded slightly, but Robert burst into laughter, stood up, and shouted at Robert:

Hey! Did you go to the restroom to look for the message I left behind?

Robert looked completely bewildered, realizing that he hadn't been wrong after all; the "old place" Robert mentioned was indeed the toilet!

But then what about what Capone Becky was saying?

Seeing Robert's puzzled expression, Robert laughed even harder: "Hahaha! You really went!"

"When I saw that tavern called 'Old Place,' I was thinking, if I arranged to meet you at 'Old Place,' would you go to every single restroom to look for information?"

Robert's face darkened immediately. Law was indeed one of the most meticulous people in the pirate world, but he always made mistakes when scheming against his enemies, while he was always right when scheming against his own people.

Charlotte Linlin's face darkened when she saw Robert joking around with him while he was locked up in jail, seemingly oblivious to everyone else.

She gave Smoothie a look, and Smoothie instantly understood and turned to investigate the old tavern.

Robert and Karina had just pretended to go to the bathroom and disappeared for a good ten minutes. We must find out what he did during that time, otherwise it could very well affect the upcoming ambush plan.

Robert was already getting tired of talking to Robert. He was trying to figure out how to get him out of there, but Robert's mind was full of ideas on how to prank him.

Since he still had the mood to laugh at himself, it was obvious that he had a way to save himself. Robert simply took out a video camera and squeezed to the front, where he and Morgans positioned themselves on either side of Robert, who was trapped in the transparent cell.

Charlotte Linlin sneered, "Luo, was it you who came to my door asking to marry my daughter?"

Luo nodded: "With my qualifications, it would take too long to become one of the Four Emperors, so I plan to take a shortcut and become the son-in-law of one of the Four Emperors in exchange for some resources."

None of the guests laughed at Luo; his choice was incredibly wise. Anyone who had the chance to become the aunt's son-in-law would have made the same choice.

"Was it you who got together with that furry little slut?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Luo's face: "She can only be considered a little flirt, and to be honest, your daughter is the third party, since I knew her first."

That's incredibly shameless. Even among pirates, it's rare to see someone who's clearly in the wrong but still tries to argue with others.

Charlotte Linlin could easily see that Law was making fun of her. Ever since she set sail at the age of seven or eight, no one on the sea had ever been unafraid of her strength, and no one had ever dared to humiliate her like this!

"Are you so confident because of that kid Robert?"

Luo glanced at Robert: "Robert and I are business partners, after all. How could I invite him to come and make a fool of myself? I'm also embarrassed by his presence here."

Robert watched Luo perform in the cell quietly, becoming even more curious about his plan.

If attacking Du Field, who was clearly under Charlotte Linlin's protection, in front of her was a provocation, then Luo's current actions are tantamount to courting death.

Charlotte Linlin's face flashed with murderous intent. She stretched out her chubby hand and patted it. Several chess pieces carried huge rubber tubes and pulled them up, connecting one end to the base of the cell where Luo was imprisoned, and the other end to a strange machine.

Robert's eyes were fixed on the man walking in front of the chess piece; he knew that man all too well.

"Mama mama~ Let me introduce you to Caesar Clown! The latest genius researcher hired by the Kingdom of Worlds!"

"Some people may not know that the group that raided Impel Down a few months ago and rescued the Don Quixote family used poison gas made by Caesar Courland."

"When we rescued the Donquixote Family, Whole Cake Island also contributed a little. So, in return, Doflamingo sent Caesar Clown to us to be in charge of the development of poison gas weapons."

"Today, I'll show you his latest invention! A toxin that even Law, who ate the Op-Op Fruit, couldn't escape!"

Law seemed to finally show some emotion: "Hey, what do you mean? You want to prove that my Devil Fruit ability can't remove the poison this bastard made? At least take off my Seastone handcuffs, okay?"

Charlotte Linlin watched Luo's performance with a cold eye: "What sea stone handcuffs?"

Luo frowned and punched the transparent wall in front of him. The wall looked to be only a thin layer, but not a single crack appeared.

"Mamamama~ Don't waste your time, this wall is made of high-strength syrup, you can't break it."

"And I've lost the key to those sea stone handcuffs you were wearing!"

Charlotte Linlin waved her hand, and Caesar Cullen, like a lackey, turned on the switch of the gas machine connected to the transparent cell. Purple gas began to flow in through the ventilation opening at the bottom of the cell.

Charlotte Linlin stopped acting altogether, turning around and giving Robert a cold smile, as if to say: Only you can save him in this world, do you want to help?

But Robert was excited and focused on recording Robert's miserable state with his video recorder.

The purple poisonous gas spread upwards until it covered Luo's mouth and nose.

Luo seemed to be having difficulty breathing, so he grabbed his own neck, struggled for a while, and then collapsed to the ground until he was no longer moving.

Everyone was a little confused. So what?

Law, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, died so easily?

Everyone first looked at Robert, then at the bewildered middle-aged woman, and finally fixed their gaze on Robert.

Robert looked at him strangely: "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't expect me to die for him, do you?"

Chapter 49 Now that you've all finished your performances, it's my turn.

Charlotte Linlin was a little confused; this wasn't her plan.

With the investigative capabilities of the Four Emperors, they had long ago figured out the relationship between Robert and Law. The two had been cooperating in Dressrosa for so long that they were essentially deeply intertwined partners.

Charlotte Linlin still vividly remembers Law's condition when he arrived at Whole Cake Island. He was sent there like a prisoner by Doflamingo, who was stationed at the border between Whole Cake Island and the Beast Pirates.

Contrary to her public claims, Luo did not actively seek marriage; rather, she was more like a bargaining chip in a transaction.

Charlotte Linlin promised not to interfere when Kaido occupied Whitebeard's territory. In exchange, the Beasts Pirates gave up Law, a Shichibukai-level fighter, and Caesar Clown, a super weapons scientist.

Caesar Clown previously served the Big Mom Pirates, receiving their funding and being responsible for researching child giantification technology to arm the soldiers of Whole Cake Island.

In the treaty, Luo would take the initiative to visit Charlotte Linlin's daughter under the guise of marriage proposal.

For great pirates of the Four Emperors' caliber, simple friendships are long gone. Kaido and Charlotte Linlin appear to be easy to talk to on the surface, but in reality, they each have their own ulterior motives.

For example, Kaido didn't explain the details of his deal with Robert to Charlotte Linlin at all. He only said that he defeated Robert, who came to provoke him, and then took the opportunity to conquer Whitebeard's territory. He didn't reveal at all that the islands were actually handed over peacefully.

Charlotte Linlin only pretended to treat Law as a bargaining chip. After arguing for a long time about Caesar Courland, she casually suggested that Law become her son-in-law.

In fact, her target from the beginning was Robert, and her purpose was to lure Robert to the rescue and then carry out the final kill.

In the script for the entire Big Mom Pirates, Law is executed on the spot, and Robert, as his partner, will inevitably come to his rescue.

Just like when Robert stopped Karina from singing for others' amusement, that was to save face, and now he's doing the same thing with his rescue partners.

Charlotte Linlin has essentially called out Robert by name, mentioning that the exterior walls are made of high-strength syrup and that she lost the key, all of which are actually targeting Robert.

Only Logia-type Devil Fruit users can transform into an invisible and intangible form to enter the cell through the ventilation opening. Robert had previously demonstrated how to open Seastone handcuffs in front of a large audience countless times, the most famous of which was even broadcast live worldwide at Marineford.

Charlotte Linlin's killing move was quite simple: the prison and poison gas.

The cell walls were indeed, as she said, forged by Perospero using the power of the Lick-Lick Fruit. The syrup was harder than some alloys and maintained a transparent, glass-like texture.

What Charlotte Linlin didn't mention was that the wall was mixed with seastone powder. Robert could only enter through the ventilation holes in the base. He wouldn't touch the seastone when he entered, but when he wanted to come out, his body would no longer be able to become elemental.

In addition, Caesar Clown was confident in his poison gas, claiming that even if Kaido came, as long as his Devil Fruit ability was restricted, he would die from the poison in a short time.

Robert's physical abilities were certainly no match for Kaido's, so in Charlotte Linlin's eyes, if Robert were to enter this trap to save face, he would surely die.

Robert isn't a comedic character; he does have some logic, especially when he knows the other person's target is him.

When he was unable to penetrate the syrup wall using electromagnetic induction to detect Luo's condition, he realized that the syrup contained sea stone powder.

Based on this alone, Robert would absolutely not go inside. It's not that he wouldn't save Robert, but if he went inside himself, wouldn't no one be able to save him?

Moreover, the main reason that made Robert decide to stand aside was actually the hidden message that Robert and Caesar Courland conveyed to him.

Needless to say, Law's every word sounded like he was actively seeking death, but that's not what Capone Becky told him. Robert simply made a bold guess: in Law's plan, it wasn't time for him to take action at all.

Caesar Courant proved this point; he was a complete bastard, and the kind of scoundrel who would do anything to get ahead once he had the power.

Given his personality, if he truly joined Kaido or Charlotte Linlin's ranks, he would immediately turn a blind eye to his former employer, who had forced him into submission by force.

But when Caesar Clown saw that the person behind him was a complete stranger, Robert instantly understood that Caesar Clown was still on his side!

Since Caesar Couran is one of our own, how could the poison gas he produced possibly kill Luo?

Robert simply remained motionless, watching as Robert clumsily portrayed the suffocation and pain of poisoning until he became completely still.

The scene froze for a moment until some guests cheered, seemingly praising the incredible power of the Big Mom Pirates' new weapon.

Charlotte Linlin looked at Caesar Cullen in disbelief: "He's dead?"

Caesar Courant nodded confidently, pointing to an electronic device:

"This is Luo's electrocardiogram and respiratory monitoring. He has completely stopped breathing and his heart has stopped beating. He is definitely dead!"

Charlotte Linlin shouted, "Open the cell! I need to see it with my own eyes!"

The syrup wall mixed with sea stone powder not only blocked Robert's electromagnetic induction, but also Charlotte Linlin's soul perception.

Caesar Courant's eyes were as resolute as if he were joining the Party: "No way!"

"My poison gas is incredibly powerful. To prevent it from being affected by the wind in open environments, I specially made the density of the poison gas greater than that of air, so that it can be deposited on the ground for a long time without being blown into the high air."

"This means that it will take at least several days for the poison gas to dilute naturally. If we open the cells now, the poison gas will kill everyone present within minutes!"

Charlotte Linlin snorted coldly: "Then hurry up and figure out a way to extract the poison gas!"

Caesar Courland lowered his head meekly: "Yes, Mother, I'll think of something right away!"

He gave a signal to the chess pieces around him, and they then pushed Luo up and took him down.

Robert watched the farce with a smile, wondering what he was up to and what the old lady was planning to do next.

But he wasn't flustered at all, because he saw that Capone Becky had somehow appeared at the tea party and was giving Robert a hand gesture.

Robert squinted. Luffy had arrived, and soon the Big Mom Pirates wouldn't have time to pay attention to him.

What reassured him even more was that the voice of meteorologist Haredas could be heard in the earphones that Karina had given him:

"Robert, we've arrived!"

Chapter 50 The liberating soldiers have arrived, and the good days on Whole Cake Island have begun.

When the woman wasn't going crazy, her mind was still quite clear. She glanced at her eldest son, Perospero, who obediently followed Caesar Courland out of the venue.

Robert's behavior was too cold, completely different from what they had previously known, so Charlotte Bell had every reason to suspect that Robert was not dead at all.

If the candy cell where Luo was imprisoned was fine, then the problem must lie with the poison gas.
