One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Kanjuro was suffering a mental blow, struggling to control his expression and analyzing how he should portray a loyal samurai who had been framed. Suddenly attacked by Law, he even forgot that his body should still be under control and unable to fight back, and instinctively raised his weapon to resist.

Kanjuro only came to his senses when the demonic wail aimed at his throat was stopped by his pen-sword, Tsuji Shime.

Kin'emon and Raizo looked at him with very complicated expressions, and Kanjuro was confused for a moment: "Why are you looking at me like that? You don't actually believe this guy who kidnapped the young master, do you?!"

Robert's voice drifted over: "When a person is facing life and death, it's indeed hard to hide their dominant hand."

Kanjuro's pupils widened in shock. He had just witnessed Law's strength, and in this life-or-death situation, he could no longer afford to hide his abilities. Instinctively, he held the scabbard in his left hand and drew his sword with his right hand, which he was most skilled with, to fight back!

Chapter 13 This punch is powerful; you can't withstand it.

Kanjuro was at a loss for words. He had been an actor all his life, and now he suddenly didn't know how to act anymore.

Seeing Kin'emon biting his lip and staring at him with wide eyes, Raizo blushed but couldn't say a word, leaving Kanjuro even more at a loss.

Law had already retreated to his own camp, but Kanjuro remained in the posture of raising his hand to block the sword. It took him a long time to slowly lower the sword, his expression sometimes gentle and sometimes ferocious.

“You’re right, I am indeed a member of the Kurozumi family, and I leaked the Kozuki family’s battle plans.”

Kin'emon and Raizo's expressions remained unchanged, except their eyes were even wider.

Robert chuckled: "You're such a patient person, you can't keep your composure at all."

Kanjuro was taken aback, then looked angrily at Robert: "Who exactly are you? Why are you helping that brat Momotaro?"

"None of them care about Wano Country at all, especially that Kozuki Oden! He's been at sea for so many years, how has he ever shouldered the responsibilities of a shogun?"

"Why should everyone listen to him just because he's back? Why should we entrust the future of the entire country to such an absurd general?"

Robert waved his hand: "I did not help Momonosuke. On this point, we are in complete agreement. I also hate Kozuki Oden very much."

"The reason I've restrained you is simply as punishment for attacking me earlier."

Robert looked at Kanjuro and said with some regret, "Your acting skills aren't up to par either. Although what I said is true, what's wrong with hiding your dominant hand and concealing that you're actually very good at drawing?"

"You panicked and confessed everything, so don't blame me."

Kin'emon and Raizo blushed red as they held their breath, and Robert suddenly remembered that he was still controlling them, so he quickly released their mouths.

"Actually, your two brothers were probably trying to loudly declare that they believed in you, but I shut them up."

"You've done something wrong, so you think everyone's expression is an insult to you, which is why you can't act anymore. Go back and work on your acting skills."

Kin'emon's eyes were filled with tears. If his body hadn't been torn into pieces by Law, he would have rushed up and torn Kanjuro apart with his teeth.

Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were more straightforward; if Robert hadn't forcibly restrained them, they would have torn Kanjuro to pieces.

Robert coughed and then turned his attention back to himself: "Gentlemen, time is precious. Let's resolve my issues first, and then you can deal with the internal conflicts later."

Kin'emon suppressed his anger and withdrew his gaze from Kanjuro, but when he looked at Robert, the initial rage had vanished.

"I'm sorry, we misunderstood you. Lord Oden was killed by this traitor back then, and he is now hiding by the young master's side. If you hadn't hidden the young master, he would probably have also fallen victim to his evil deeds!"

Robert put his hand to his forehead: "I've already said I really hate the Kozuki family. I didn't capture Momonosuke to help him."

"I'm here today to make things clear to you all. I will not let Momonosuke return to Wano Country. If you're still dreaming of supporting your young lord back to restore the country, you'd better wake up now."

Kanjuro and the others were completely bewildered. Robert had first used force to suppress them, then helped them uncover the traitor hidden within the group, but now he had clearly stated that he would never let Momonosuke go. His stance was utterly a mystery.

"Why? Momonosuke is Oden-sama's only remaining bloodline, bearing the heavy responsibility of liberating Wano Country. Even if you don't remember the friendship between Oden-sama and Whitebeard-sama, you should at least think about the people of Wano Country!"

Robert burst into laughter: "I'm talking about your grandma's friendship! Inuarashi and Nekomamushi, you two were on the ship back then. I'm asking you, wasn't Daddy good enough to Kozuki Oden or what? Why did he go off the ship to follow Roger?"

The two mink opened their mouths, but for a moment they didn't know what to say.

"Do you find it hard to say it?"

"When Roger and Father fought for three days and three nights, Roger finally asked Kozuki Oden for help in translating the Poneglyphs and determining the location of the One Piece, what was Father's response?"

"My dad said I would never give up my family!"

"At that time, Roger had defeated Shiki's Flying Pirates and was at the height of his power. But Father didn't even give him face because of Kozuki Oden. What did Kozuki Oden do? He ran away with Roger on his own initiative!"

"And the reasons are ridiculous, it's just that they think following Roger will lead them to the One Piece!"

"He even forgot that it was only because he begged and pleaded with his father that his father reluctantly allowed him to board the ship!"

"What friendship could I possibly have with such an ungrateful, sophisticated egoist?"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi both fell silent. They didn't really care about the One Piece. Back then, they actually preferred to stay on Whitebeard's ship because Whitebeard treated his family very well.

But they were ultimately retainers of Kozuki Oden, and naturally they unconditionally supported their lord's decision.

Looking back now, Whitebeard didn't hate Kozuki Oden; he genuinely considered him family. But Robert, who had no connection with Kozuki Oden at all, was naturally angry at for his lack of morality; there was no affection between them.

Kin'emon gritted his teeth and made a final effort: "The people of Wano Country are innocent... The only remaining member of the Kozuki family bloodline is the young master... I beg you..."

Robert raised his hand to interrupt him: "That's what I hate most about you. I truly believe the people of Wano Country are innocent, which is why I invited the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army to be here today as a witness."

"But I have a question for you. Why is it that in Wano Country only men are considered human, while women have no human rights?"

Kin'emon was taken aback, not understanding what Robert meant. Although Wano Country was patriarchal, it wasn't to the extent Robert described.

"Back then, Lady Toki gave birth to two children on the ship. One was a boy, Momonosuke. Wasn't the other girl also a member of the Kozuki family?"

"How come in your mouths, Kozuki Oden only had Momonosuke as his child?"

Robert's punch was truly beyond the scope of the enemy's abilities. There were three forces present: the Raibu had Carina and Baby-5, the Straw Hat crew had Nami and Robin, and even the Wano Country faction had Carrot, a mink rabbit girl who was with Robert.

There were women in every faction, and they all held important positions. After Robert said this, Luffy's crew, who had been neutral, completely sided with Robert and began to look at Kin'emon with hostility.

Kin'emon was speechless, and Robert pressed his advantage: "Even the Shogun's daughter has no human rights. It's hard to imagine how you liberated Wano Country."

"So let's leave the liberation of Wano Country to the more professional people."

"Sabo, you guys aren't just liberating men, are you?"

Chapter 14 is just about standing on the moral high ground; who can't do that?

Called out by Robert, Sabo stepped out from Luffy's camp: "You're not thinking of recruiting the Revolutionary Army, are you? Now you're acting like a leader, giving us tasks directly?"

Robert and the Revolutionary Army cooperated fairly well in Dressrosa, but some minor frictions arose during the Skypiea phase. Later, Dragon took the initiative to smooth things over, and everyone got along well again.

In fact, Robert always kept the Revolutionary Army and Sabo very separate. Sabo himself was still worth getting to know better; this second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army was a very good person in terms of both character and ability.

Robert chuckled and said, "We're old acquaintances, let's skip the useless formalities. Anyway, your Revolutionary Army will definitely take action, right?"

Sabo shrugged: "The Revolutionary Army has already studied the situation in Wano Country, but Kaido's Beast Pirates are very strong. Right now, the Revolutionary Army doesn't have the energy and strength to wage a full-scale war against one of the Four Emperors."

Robert looked at the samurai of Wano Country: "I won't let Momonosuke go back to participate in this bullshit revolution, because as long as the so-called Shogun system exists, no matter who sits in the Shogun's position, the people will not have a good life."

"Only true democracy is true liberation."

Sabo's eyes lit up; Robert's words truly resonated with him.

“You so-called samurai have never engaged in production for generations, but instead ride on the backs of the people of Wano Country and suck their blood. When your power is taken away by others, you will then coerce the people to fight for your own interests.”

“If you have even a shred of conscience, then truly live up to your so-called Bushido spirit and fight for the people, instead of trying to maintain the superior status of the samurai class and one day becoming the ones overthrown by the people.”

Sabo's gaze sharpened as he looked at the samurai of Wano Country. He had set sail earlier than Luffy and had witnessed more of the world's suffering.

Luffy's first reaction upon seeing these samurai was sympathy, while Sabo had no good feelings towards them from the very beginning.

Now that Robert has pinpointed the reason why the samurai class is so detestable, Sabo feels a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Kin'emon gritted his teeth. He was very dissatisfied with Robert's accusations against them, but he also felt somewhat speechless.

Since the samurai class was indeed the nobility of Wano Country, Robert was absolutely right when he said they did not engage in production and instead leeched off the people.

However, to them, these things are as natural as sunrise and sunset.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi are not from Wano Country. They were just stranded there in their early years and were rescued by Kozuki Oden, after which they became his retainers.

"You mean we should go back and overthrow Kaido, and then you'll release Lord Momonosuke, right?"

Robert shook his head with a smile: "You see, this is the biggest problem. In your eyes, going back to liberate the people of Wano Country is just a bargaining chip to get Momonosuke back."

"Do you remember Izo, who boarded Father's ship with you and has stayed ever since?"

Izo, the 16th division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was from Wano Country. He boarded the Moby Dick as a retainer of Kozuki Oden, but when Kozuki Oden abandoned the Whitebeard Pirates without hesitation and joined Roger's crew, he chose to stay.

This man, who spent his life dressing as a woman and appearing as a graceful geisha, was more manly and responsible than those self-proclaimed masculine and domineering samurai.

This is not only reflected in his not leaving the Whitebeard Pirates, but also in his return to his hometown without hesitation during the Wano Country War, where he ultimately died on Onigashima.

Kin'emon remained silent, but Inuarashi and Nekomamushi nodded excitedly. They hadn't seen Izo since leaving the Whitebeard Pirates over 20 years ago.

Robert said, “Yi Zang is now an important cadre of our Thunder Department. I believe you have all heard about the size of the Thunder Department. We have plenty of money and power. As a high-ranking member of the Thunder Department, Yi Zang has a bright future ahead of him.”

"But do you believe that if a revolution breaks out in Wano Country one day, Izo will abandon all the power and wealth of the Raibu and resign from my post, returning to Wano Country alone to contribute to the liberation of his homeland?"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi nodded vigorously. They had worked with Izo for many years, and they completely believed what Robert said; Izo was indeed such a pure person.

Robert didn't even look at Kin'emon this time, and turned to Sabo and said, "But I won't let my brothers go back to their deaths alone. When my father was still alive, he planned to attack Wano Country more than once to avenge Kozuki Oden."

"However, Kaido is still young and strong, while the old man is old. Even if the entire Whitebeard Pirates were to fight, they would probably only manage to fight the Beasts White Pirates to a draw at best, which is why they haven't taken any action yet."

"Now that we have taken up the mantle, whether it is to comfort our father's spirit in heaven or to help our brothers fulfill their wishes, we should do our part in liberating Wano Country."

"But I must detain Momonosuke, lest a people's revolution, which should have been a success, end up being reaped by the samurai class!"

Sabo was already getting excited. He didn't even need to go back to Dragon to discuss the liberation of Wano Country, as it was already part of the Revolutionary Army's plan. Now he just wanted to see how much Robert would actually contribute.

“During the previous operation against Sky Island, I demanded that the Revolutionary Army not interfere. Now, in the operation against Wano Country, I can also guarantee that our Raibu will not participate in any distribution of benefits in Wano Country after its liberation.”

"Kaido took over all the territory that our father left behind. Now we will take the initiative to fight the Beasts Pirates and take back island by island!"

"At that time, the main force of the Beasts Pirates will be tied down by us. If the revolution in Wano Country still fails, then I'm out of options."

"By the way, Ace and Izo will also be going to the Wano Country battlefield to help out. Isn't that generous enough?"

Ace laughed heartlessly and said, "Come to think of it, it's been many years since I've seen Yamato."

Robert gave Ace a strange look, and Luffy suddenly shouted, "I'm going too! Let's take him down together, the three of us brothers!"

Sabo felt even more confident when he thought of the 100,000 pirates in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.

What was supposed to be a three-way negotiation turned into a huge mess with Robert's rant, leaving the Wano Country group, who had come to demand answers, out in the cold.

Kin'emon wanted to say something, but Robert didn't even give them a chance to speak, staring at Inuarashi and Nekomamushi and saying:

"If you also want to join in, I hope to do what you answered me in the beginning."

"You only represent yourselves, and don't drag the entire Mink Tribe into the quagmire of Wano Country."
