One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Some people are relatively calm and know how to deal with an elderly woman experiencing food cravings: she must be given the food that triggers the symptoms before the problem is solved.

Even if we called all her sons and daughters back now and had them use their abilities to make a giant cake again, it would be too late. The only way to quickly cure Charlotte Linlin's illness is to ask the long bread that controls the Eat-Eat Fruit to cut a building into a cake out of thin air.

The building on Whole Cake Island most suitable for the long bread to unleash its power is definitely the Cake Castle, which is made up of various cake elements!

The enemies who had just been fighting to the death suddenly retreated, leaving Luffy and his crew somewhat bewildered. Only Capone Bege reacted the fastest, shouting and telling everyone to run away.

If they hadn't moved, it would have been fine, but once they started moving, they instantly drew the attention of the frenzied Charlotte Linlin.

The woman turned and began chasing after the fleeing person, grabbing anything edible along the way and stuffing it into her mouth, muttering, "No! No! I want cake!"

A very short, white-bearded old man rushed toward the Cake Castle. The Big Mom Pirates, who were desperately trying to escape, looked at the old man with hope as if he were a lifeline.

Robert's Thor ability is almost expired. The reason he's held on until now is to wait for Longbread to appear!

Longbread's Devil Fruit power is the Eat Eat Fruit, which can turn anything in the world into food. When Charlotte Linlin couldn't find Sister Carmel and her other adopted orphan friends, it was Longbread who led her down the path of becoming a pirate.

Therefore, Longbread is not only the head chef of the Big Mom Pirates, but also an original shareholder of the crew. The entire Whole Cake Island was built based on his abilities.

When Robert heard the reason why the Big Mom Pirates wanted to get rid of him, his first thought was of the legendary head chef, Longbread.

In theory, with the availability of food, the Kingdom of Ten Thousand should not lack food. They should be the team least affected by their food business.

However, Robert quickly realized that activating the Devil Fruit's power was not without its costs. The amount of food reserves that the entire Whole Cake Island needed to use every day was astronomical. Even if the old man squeezed every last drop out of the bread roll, he still couldn't supply enough.

Moreover, the ability to eat fruits is to transform rather than to generate them out of thin air. Even if the old man has enough mental strength and works non-stop every day just to transform food, the Kingdom of Whole Cake Island still has to constantly replenish things from outside that he can transform, such as stones and wood.

On this vast ocean, the cost of wood and stone is likely higher than that of food, which will certainly seriously affect the operation of the entire kingdom.

But when Robert found out about all this, instead of trying to have a proper talk with Charlotte Linlin to explain that he meant no harm, he wanted to push things to the extreme!

You can't force a deal; you have to really hurt the enemy to force them to negotiate in order to achieve the desired outcome.

Therefore, Robert will not only not make any promise of unlimited food supplies, but he will also cut off the supply at its source by eliminating the longbread as well!

After waiting for ages, all for this old man to arrive, Robert activated the new ability he gained when his mental attribute broke through the 200 limit—Twisting—while Thor's skill was still active!

This wasn't the first time he'd used this skill. To develop his abilities, Robert used it like Thor on cooldown as soon as he got it, testing how far the distortion could supposedly alter physical properties.

Today is the day he will publicly demonstrate his new abilities!

Robert raised his palm and clapped it lightly, at least to give his skill a release animation. In fact, these skills are released with a thought, and making the animation was just a subconscious attempt to coordinate with his actions.

The long loaf continued its rapid charge towards the Cake Castle, aiming to transform one of the castle's secondary towers into a real cake and feed it to Charlotte Linlin to cure her food cravings!

He saw the enormous thunder giant blocking the castle from afar, and he also saw Robert clapping. His vigilance did not relax for a second.

But Robert didn't stop him at all, and Longbread didn't notice that the battlefield had changed at all after Robert clapped his hands, until the huge cake castle began to tilt.

Longbread's breathing quickened as the massive castle, which had stood like a mountain, collapsed towards the complex below.

Robert's enormous form shrunk to his true form, smiled slightly at the long bread, and his body appeared beside him in the next second:

"Sir, if this castle collapses, half of Whole Cake Island will be destroyed. Could you please do something to help?"

Longbread gritted his teeth. He was a shrewd old man, over ninety years old. How could he not see that the collapse of the castle was the work of this bastard?

However, he also knew about the entire Big Mom Pirates' plan to besiege Robert. Since his own people were preparing to attack him, it was only reasonable for Robert to retaliate.

Robert grinned and said, "Let me give you a ride; it's too high for you to climb."

Longbread didn't even want to talk to him, and he didn't believe that the culprit would be so kind as to help at this time.

But the next second, he felt his body lighten, as if he had no weight and began to float into the air.

Turning his head, he saw Robert smiling and waving at him.

Longbread gritted his teeth, but with the arrow already on the bowstring, he had no time to think. Indeed, as Robert said, if he didn't act now, the falling Cake Castle would destroy half of Cake Island, killing and injuring countless people who couldn't escape in time.

With a slash of his longsword, the massive, mountain-like castle suddenly disintegrated, turning into soft, small cakes.

The long bread seemed to have all its strength drained away, and began to fall freely towards the ground.

Robert's sleazy voice rang in my ears: "Old sir, are you out of energy?"

"Wouldn't you be killed if you fell like that? Should I save you?"

Longbread turned his head with difficulty to look at Robert, only to see him beside him, falling to the ground at the same speed as him.

As they drew closer to the ground, Robert seemed determined not to make a move unless he agreed.

The long loaf of bread spat out a few words through its teeth:

"Hurry up and save me!"

Chapter 52 Hitting kids and grabbing old men, I'm really bad now!

It wasn't that Robert had a twisted sense of humor and was forcing the old man to beg him at a time like this; it was because Longbread's power was a bit too great for him to control.

From the initial awakening of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it gained the ability to assimilate and manipulate the surrounding electrons. This ability can be used to manipulate inanimate and unconscious objects with ease, but when facing living things, the other party's cooperation becomes an important indicator.

Although as Robert's strength has grown, fewer and fewer people can now resist him with their own will. Even when facing opponents like Shanks and Kaido, Robert has used his electronic control ability to trip them up, but that was only to distort the enemy's movements at crucial moments, not to completely control them.

Longbread is an old man in his nineties. It is known that he ate a Devil Fruit when he first met Charlotte Linlin in his twenties, and he has at least sixty years of experience in fruit development.

Moreover, as a chef, his knife skills were also superb. He could split a massive cake castle, as large as a mountain, in one stroke. Although he was exhausted after making the move, considering that he was 92 or 93 years old, it was already very impressive that he could do that.

Robert used electronic control to levitate him into the air because he was trying to leap up and strike. The resistance was less when controlling the electronics in his body, but even if it was in line with his will, it was still quite difficult to control.

Now, Robert is taking advantage of the fact that Longbread has just exhausted all his strength to transform such a large target using the Eat Eat Fruit, and is severely depleted in both physical and mental energy.

Longbread asked for help to save his life, which was actually a sign of weakness. He thought he had only been verbally taken advantage of by this annoying young man, but little did he know that it represented a deep-seated surrender to resistance.

Robert's electromagnetic assimilation instantly spread throughout the long bread, and the old man felt a blur before his eyes, and a sense of dizziness instantly overwhelmed him.

The scenery before his eyes flashed and changed, and even with his superior strength, Longbread almost vomited. A moment later, he discovered that the dark clouds above his head had completely dissipated.

"This is where?"

Longbread was horrified to discover that it had not only been taken out of the cloud-shrouded Cake Island, but was actually above the clouds!

Before Robert could answer, a familiar, longbread-like voice came lazily: "Uncle Longbread, long time no see~"

Despite feeling dizzy, Longbread turned her head and saw a man with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle greeting her.

"Marco!"

Longbread gritted its teeth. The moment it saw Marco, it knew it had been captured by Robert.

Robert chuckled and said, "I almost forgot, Mr. Longbread is also Dad's former teammate. We'd like to invite you to visit us this time."

Marco extended his hand: "It's been so many years since we last met!"

Longbread was not only exhausted at this point, but he was also not known for his fighting skills. Moreover, at over ninety years old, how could he possibly fight against young men like Robert and Marco who were in their prime?

In an instant, he saw through the current situation, and Longbread's expression relaxed: "Marco, I'm old enough to be your father's uncle, you should call me grandpa."

Marco shrugged: "If I were to call you 'Grandpa,' it would lower your status as your father."

Robert squinted as he watched Longbread and Marco bicker, seemingly having readily accepted his status as a prisoner.

"Aren't you going to take me to rest? I'm a guest now, and also your elder. Quickly find some people to take care of me. I need to stay in a VIP ward!"

Robert immediately understood what the old man meant. As expected of a veteran pirate who had been at sea for so many years, he was trying to find out where his lair was.

Robert is currently a very troublesome opponent for all his enemies, because even the Four Emperors are not without weaknesses, and the greater their power, the greater their weaknesses become. However, Robert has no such concerns.

No matter how strong a person is, they cannot protect all territories. Just like at this tea party, Charlotte Linlin brought almost all of her powerful children with her to deal with Robert, which led to Luffy's unimpeded advance, and she only realized it when Luffy had already stormed into Whole Cake Island.

In fact, Luffy has already experienced a major battle. Cracker, one of the Sweet Commanders, was not at the tea party, but was staying on the outskirts of Whole Cake Island.

However, Cracker alone could only become a tool for Luffy to level up. After being defeated by him, he could only watch helplessly as Luffy led his crew into Whole Cake Island.

Since Robert gave away all his territories in Qinghai, he seems to have suddenly lost all his weaknesses.

Even if others wanted to target him, they could only do so when Robert's men showed up on their own initiative. Otherwise, they wouldn't even know where they were stationed.

It seems that only Kaido knows that Robert has taken over Skypiea, and Kaido, for some reason, has kept it a secret from the other four emperors.

Longbread probably thinks that since he's already been captured, he might as well go and see where Robert's stronghold is, in order to prepare for targeting him later.

Longbread wasn't worried about his safety at all. He was a shrewd old man, and he could tell from Robert's attitude that Robert wanted to use him as a hostage rather than kill him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of bringing him here.

Seeing Marco made Longbread feel even more at ease.

Marco, the first mate of the Whitebeard Pirates, is just like his father; he cherishes old friendships. With him present and Marco not attacking Robert, even if Robert wanted to kill him, Marco would probably have to plead for mercy.

Robert smiled and said to Marco, "My business here is almost done. The reason I had Marco come all this way is to pick up Mr. Longbread and bring him to visit us. Let's arrange it on Greenbite Island. It's a beautiful place and perfect for a vacation."

Marco understood immediately. This time, they came to meet Robert after receiving his signal, riding on a small sky island belonging to Nami's mentors, because Robert needed their help to create clouds and rain, and to generate widespread thunderstorms.

So even if Longbread knows that Robert and his crew have taken over Visalia, it's impossible to be sure if Robert has taken over other Sky Islands.

Longbread frowned. Greenbit knew that on a deserted island very close to Dressrosa, the Big Mom Pirates had carefully studied all the information about Dressrosa when they were collecting data on Robert.

I had suspected something was amiss with the change of ownership in Dressrosa before, and now that I've discovered that Robert still maintains control over Greenbite Island, Longbread is now certain that there's something fishy going on between Bucky Delivery and Robert!

His attention was completely drawn to Bucky Express and Dressrosa, and he had completely stopped thinking about the Sky Island issue.

Robert smiled and waved to Marco and the old meteorologists, then transformed into lightning and returned to Whole Cake Island.

We should go ask Luo what he's up to!

Chapter 53 I'll Assemble the Head

Robert was only gone for a short while, but the situation on Whole Cake Island had already changed dramatically.

Thanks to the move Robert made before taking the long bread away, the collapsing cake castle was cut into soft cloud-like cakes, and it no longer had much of a destructive power when it hit the ground.

However, the most iconic building on Whole Cake Island was destroyed, and Charlotte Linlin, the pillar of the Big Mom Pirates, went completely mad, wantonly extracting souls from the island. The guests attending the tea party couldn't help but feel a chill for them. If things weren't handled properly today, the Big Mom Pirates might not be far from being removed from the ranks of the Four Emperors.

The civilians on Whole Cake Island had already evacuated to the beach. They were already far from the Cake Castle, and they began to flee the moment they saw the castle collapse. By the time Charlotte Linlin rushed to the area where the civilians lived, there were hardly any people left.

The children of the older women dared not approach her at all. Charlotte Linlin was no longer a rational mother. Even her own children would have their souls drained and die if they came near her.

Moreover, having lived under the domineering influence of their mother for many years, these children are naturally more afraid of this mother who may go insane at any moment.

The key to extracting a soul with the Soul-Soul Fruit is to first instill fear in the target. The greater the fear, the lower the compatibility between the soul and the body, and the less resistance there is to the Soul-Soul Fruit's soul extraction.

They could only first find their own targets and stop the culprits who caused the chaos on Whole Cake Island.

This is the scene that Robert saw when he returned to the ground.

Luo was indeed alive and well, fighting Perospero who had come to deal with him. Caesar Courland had long since disappeared. On the contrary, Karina was revealing her true form and helping Luo clear away the chess pieces around him, creating a one-on-one environment for him and Perospero to fight.
