One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

However, the two had just reached an agreement that he would have to help Robert put on a show:

"What kind of weapon is that?"

Robert waved his hand: "What weapon? It was just a casual strike from one of my generals!"

Chapter 62 Kaido's Face Fruit

Hela is hidden in the clouds, only revealing its huge, indistinct outline; no one knows what it actually looks like.

A striking yellow, chubby Buffalo flies out of the clouds, with Baby-5 dressed in a maid outfit standing on its back.

All the loose accessories of swords, spears, and cannons on her body had been removed, leaving only a cannon on her back that was thicker and longer than herself.

Buffalo flew behind Robert and hovered. Baby-5 patted the cannon on its back, and the cannon immediately adjusted its angle and was mounted on Buffalo's back.

Intense energy fluctuations began to emanate from the cannon muzzle, seemingly poised to unleash another attack of equal power. Charlotte Linlin shouted:

"Robert! I invited you to the tea party. Haven't you caused enough chaos on Whole Cake Island? Do you have to start a war with Whole Cake Island?"

Robert shrugged: "You know perfectly well why you tricked me into coming here. Of course, even if you hadn't attacked me, I still would have come."

“Law is my good friend. The Heart Pirates have officially allied with us. I can’t just ignore the fact that you’ve captured him.”

Luo opened his ROOM and levitated himself to float beside Robert: "It's not an alliance, it's me and the Heart Pirates joining your pirate crew!"

Robert smiled and didn't stand on ceremony with Luo. This was something the two of them had discussed beforehand, and now that Luo had taken the initiative to say it in front of everyone, it was a good opportunity.

"BIG MOM, although you wanted to kill me, you didn't succeed, so our feud is considered even. But the grudge between you and my brother will be settled with you sooner or later!"

Charlotte Linlin trembled with rage: "What do you mean we're even! I didn't do anything, yet you wrecked my Whole Cake Island! And now you're telling me we're even?"

Robert shook his head frantically: "Don't blame it all on me. You demolished half of Whole Cake Island yourself. You should thank me. If I hadn't pulled you out of your food cravings, you'd still be violently demolishing Whole Cake Island right now."

Kaido's massive dragon head spewed smoke: "Give me some face, let's leave it at that for today."

Robert grinned: "Sure, I have no objection!"

Charlotte Linlin was annoyed, but she knew that she couldn't do anything about Robert today.

Although Kaido was present and clearly on her side, the strength Robert had just displayed still made her uneasy.

Whether it's the lightning's ability to counter the Soul-Soul Fruit, or the powerful technique that can dissolve everything, he couldn't think of a way to deal with it for the time being.

Moreover, the opposing force is quite formidable. Since Ace has arrived, the other officers of the Whitebeard Pirates are likely also around Whole Cake Island, and could launch a full-scale attack at any time together with the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

Moreover, the girl beside Robert displayed unparalleled offensive power. Although she was not well-known before, that one move alone was enough to make her famous at sea.

"Alright! That's enough for today! We'll settle the score later!"

Robert waved to Ace, signaling Luffy and the others to retreat first. Only after the Thousand Sunny and the rest of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet had reunited and the massive fleet had sailed out of Whole Cake Island's territory did Robert call his men to fly into the clouds.

Hela turns in the clouds, and the hull of the boat that is inadvertently revealed is breathtaking. Thanks to the careful care of the Tontatta tribe, as well as the abundant sunshine and nutrients, Hela is now lush and green.

The members of the Big Mom Pirates could only vaguely see towering tree canopies appearing in the clouds, and they had no idea what they were. The dark shadow in the clouds drifted away into the distance along with the clouds.

Kaido landed beside Big Mom, and Charlotte Linlin's face twisted in a grimace: "Were you already here? Why didn't you help me?!"

Kaido frowned and remained silent, while Big Mom suddenly became even more agitated: "No! No! You sent Law here! You sent Caesar Clown here too! You orchestrated all of this!"

Kaido, who is usually unwilling to explain anything, surprisingly apologized to Big Mom: "I didn't expect that the two of them... they even lied to me..."

The old woman gritted her teeth. Although she was angry, Kaido had just saved her life, so she couldn't vent her anger.

With such a dramatic turn of events, the tea party was definitely off. The matter of finding a son-in-law was just an excuse, and now everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning it again.

Of all the guests, only Morgans was extremely excited. He had been on the front lines of the big news and collected a lot of video footage.

Stussy, hiding in a secluded corner, said to York through his earpiece, "He certainly has the ability to save the Doctor, but are you sure he won't take advantage of the situation?"

York's voice remained languid: "You talk to him yourself."

Stussy narrowed his eyes: "No rush, there's still time, let's take another look."

York remained noncommittal: "If you weren't in a hurry to find him, you shouldn't have shown up in front of him so soon. Now, do you believe he'll come looking for you soon?"

Stussy smiled and turned to walk toward the Big Mom Pirates members who were rescuing guests: "If he can find me, then I'll have even more faith in him."

The old woman kept staring fiercely at the sea until Luffy's huge fleet disappeared on the surface of the sea and Robert and his men flew into the clouds and disappeared from sight. Only then did she turn around and walk back with a fierce look on her face.

Charlotte Brownie, the 32nd child, swallowed hard and cautiously stepped forward to report, "Mother... Lord Longbread... has been captured by Robert..."

Normally, this kind of job wouldn't be up to his son, who was ranked so low and wasn't very strong. But after the great battle on Whole Cake Island, apart from his sons and daughters who were sent to other islands, almost everyone on the island who could handle things was eliminated. Among the dwarfs, he suddenly became the one ranked first.

Charlotte Linlin paused for a moment, then slowly turned to look at her son: "When did this happen?"

Brownie felt increasingly alarmed, and his extreme panic made him stammer, "Just now... after the cake castle collapsed..."

"Lord Longbread exerted too much force to protect everyone, and when he fell from the sky, he was taken away by Robert..."

Charlotte Linlin's voice was icy: "Why didn't you report this sooner? Now they've all escaped, where are we supposed to catch them!"

Brownie trembled violently. As fear grew, ethereal spirits began to float from his body like a viscous liquid, which the old woman grabbed in her hand: "You deserve to die..."

She turned to look at Kaido: "What exactly do you mean? Are you working with those little bastards to drive me to the brink of despair?"

Kaido, holding his breath, said, "Whether you believe it or not, I'm here to save you today. I only made a deal with Shanks, and I never expected things to turn out this way."

Charlotte Linlin's gaze turned icy: "Your bargaining chip is my life?"

Kaido shook his head: "No, it's my own life!"

Taking advantage of the disorderly geopolitical landscape to disrupt the international situation

Chapter 1 Am I just looking for a horse while riding one?

A massive fleet of ships, each with its own distinct style, was scattered across the sea. Even in the New World, where powerful figures abounded, no one dared to provoke such a large fleet.

Luffy rubbed his stomach: "How much further? I'm starving."

Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, said, "You've already eaten three bowls of fried rice, can't you just keep going a little longer?"

Ace swallowed the fried rice in his mouth: "Another plate, please!"

Seeing Sanji's displeased expression, Ace reluctantly put away the plate in his hand: "We'll be there soon. Robert said he'll go prepare first, and we'll start the banquet as soon as we arrive!"

Luffy's enthusiasm was reignited, and he urged Franky to steer the ship faster.

Another fleet of ships could be seen in the distance ahead. The fishmen who were scouting ahead slowed down and began to send out warning signals, but Luffy paid no attention and roared as he charged forward at full speed.

Ace pointed to the fleet's flag: "Move closer! It's our ship!"

Dozens of huge ships flying the Whitebeard Pirates' flag floated on the sea, with smoke billowing from them. However, it was clear from a distance that the smoke was from cooking fires rather than from burning.

Luffy and Ace were the fastest; as soon as the fleet got a little closer, they activated their abilities and flew over.

The Indians saw the Straw Hat Pirates' fleet approaching early on and called for each ship to prepare to board, so they could deliver food to Luffy's ship.

Robert wanted to have a serious talk with Luffy, but he also knew that after every major battle, Luffy wouldn't be in the mood to discuss serious matters unless there was a proper banquet.

Luffy's trip to Whole Cake Island this time was truly heroic. He was not used to having a huge crew of 100,000 people under his command. He was still thinking about the old adventure crew's plan, intending to sail the Thousand Sunny alone and let the rest of them travel on their own at sea.

However, before the order could be issued, news arrived that Robert was going to be tricked into going to Whole Cake Island and killed. He immediately ordered the entire army to rush to Whole Cake Island and fight the Big Mom Pirates to the death.

Regardless of whether he needed Luffy's help, Robert felt like a bastard just because of this loyalty.

From the moment she arrived in this world, she had been using Luffy, acting like a scumbag, sometimes close and sometimes distant, only approaching him when she needed him and disappearing when she didn't.

Even though Luffy already knew he wouldn't join Shanks' crew, he still risked his life to save him when he heard he was in danger. It's no wonder Shanks valued him so much; the whole world was willing to help him.

Longbread, who was originally supposed to be sent to Greenbite Island to be imprisoned, was taken directly to the fleet by Robert to help cook a huge feast enough to entertain 100,000 people.

Longbread was going crazy; he was actually going to cook for his enemy, who had just turned Big Mom's pirate crew's hideout upside down.

But Robert used coercion, India used bribery, Marco used emotional appeals, and Karina kept circling around him and acting coquettishly. The group worked together seamlessly.

The old man was over ninety years old and had long since become a shrewd person. He knew the saying, "When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head." After grumbling a few times to get a way out, he reluctantly helped.

His Devil Fruit ability was born for cooking; he can instantly conjure up any ingredient he wants by activating his ability, never having to worry about raw materials. Naturally, this saves him more time to hone his culinary skills, making him arguably the world's most skilled cook.

Robert hadn't had the time to cook in a long time. As his strength and status grew, he rarely had the opportunity to cook for others. Now that he had encountered a culinary master like Longbread, he naturally wanted to pester him to ask how to break through to become a senior chef.

Every time Robert uses Thor's skill, he can clearly feel his progress being regulated increase by a certain amount. This is why he is reluctant to use Thor's skill carelessly, even though it only has a one-hour cooldown.

There are only two ways to reduce the chances of being bound by rules: one is to act like a thug, and the other is to encounter something sufficiently painful.

Painful things don't happen all the time, and right now, the only thing that can make Robert feel pain is the death of a friend. He would rather relax with his sisters than let his friend pay the price with his life to ease the process of becoming more regulated for him.

Besides these two methods, Robert found that he could only feel the reality of life when he was cooking. Although this method had not yet been recognized by the system, and he was not even sure if his attribute panel counted as a system, he naturally couldn't think of how to guide it to develop new human anchors for himself.

Aside from his master and a few others who were on Fishman Island, Robert invited almost everyone in his team to the banquet.

After the banquet, he not only needed to have a good talk with Luffy about the future cooperation between the two teams, but also needed to give his subordinates a clear direction.

All the team's previous decisions were made on a whim. Robert always felt that Luffy's pirate crew was a makeshift operation, more like an adventure party, and that he himself wasn't much better.

Luffy is still part of an adventure crew, but he used to live more like a lone wolf. Even though he actively gathered a large number of skilled people around him because of his lack of security, he always thought about solving problems on his own when it mattered most.

He has been trying to change his way of thinking recently. He didn't even ask about Law's plans. Law has indeed proven that he doesn't need his care. He believes that even if he hadn't come to Whole Cake Island, Law would have definitely thought of a way out.

As Robert was lost in thought, he mechanically sprinkled seasonings onto the barbecue, when suddenly he had a premonition of danger and his head instantly turned to one side.

A large spoon imbued with Armament Haki grazed past his head. The little old man with the long bread looked at Robert with a face full of anger: "If you can't even concentrate on cooking, then get out of here and wait to eat!"

Once he realized he was a prisoner, he immediately returned to his role as head chef, leading thousands of chefs to prepare meals and managing dozens of ships with remarkable efficiency.

Robert quickly admitted his mistake, saying that he had asked to cook, but now he was distracted. Longbread's reprimand was reasonable and measured.

The long bread bristled: "You have the nerve to ask me what it takes to become a higher-level chef? Let me tell you, first of all, you have to concentrate!"

"To become a junior chef, all you need to do is cook the food until it's tender enough for people to eat. To become an intermediate chef, you need to learn to infuse your emotions into the food and put your heart into it."

"To become a master chef, you must put your spirit into the food, just like using Haki in a fight!"

"Didn't you master such a profound combat technique as Conqueror's Haki? How come you can't even infuse food with Haki?"

Robert looked puzzled: "Domination? When did I master that? I really don't know how!"

Longbread gave him a look that said, "What are you pretending for? You think you can hide your true strength by not wrapping Conqueror's Haki around your weapons? Aren't all the lightning bolts you summoned filled with Haki?"

Robert was suddenly enlightened, his eyes widening in shock!

That's right! The empowerment skill given when breaking through the 100-point mental limit has already been used to infuse every lightning attack with domineering energy.
