One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

"We're here to do something big in Mary Geoise. It's going to get very dangerous here soon. Stay close to Aunt Morrie. Once this is over, everyone will take you to see Big Bear..."

The giant transvestite known as Aunt Morrie tenderly stretched out a finger and rubbed it against Bonnie's head.

Although it was terrifying to see a heavily made-up weirdo with a head bigger than her whole body looking at her with a pained expression, Bonnie genuinely felt his care.

Although the other three were also strange—a beautiful woman with a fierce face, a short Mink, and a menacing man wearing a bird-beak mask—the perceptive Bonnie was certain that none of them meant her any harm.

Robert explained to the four Revolutionary Army commanders, "I was originally out scouting, but I just happened to run into Bonnie. Rather than letting her wander around Mary Geoise like a headless fly, it's safer to have her with us."

Bello Beatty, the commander of the Eastern Army and the Revolutionary Army's overall commander in this operation, quickly judged that Robert's decision was the most reasonable. Even if they encountered Bonnie, they would protect her first.

Bello Betty stubbed out her cigarette, walked over and hugged Bonnie, saying, "Be careful, Bonnie. Your father has been safely rescued. You'll be with Aunt Mori for a while. He'll be in charge of coordinating everyone's evacuation and will stay in the underground space. It's very safe."

Bonnie was very precocious; she knew when to be aggressive and use unreasonable demands to gain benefits, and when to be obedient and not cause trouble for others. At this moment, she nodded very sensibly.

Seeing Bonnie obediently hiding to one side, the short, furry Confederate commander, Lindbergh, changed the subject and asked, "So? What did you find out?"

Robert sent Sabo to Wano Country, and Dragon soon received the news and knocked Robert down with a single phone call.

No one knows what Robert and Dragon talked about on the Den Den Mushi, only that the person who was originally supposed to command the raid on Mary Geoise was changed from Chief of the General Staff Sabo to Robert.

Although the commanders of the four armies from the east, west, south, and north gathered together, everyone was ordered to assist Robert, who was in charge of commanding the entire operation.

"The World Conference hasn't started yet, and delegations from five countries haven't arrived. Our actions will begin as soon as the opening bell rings!"

Bello Betty frowned. "Now you should tell us the whole plan, right? Even though the Commander-in-Chief tells us to do whatever you say, at least let us know what we're doing."

Robert's gaze was deep: "You know the purpose of our trip, which is to find out the secrets of Pangu City. This is something that Long Du and I were also concerned about, which is why we joined forces this time."

"However, after listening to your previous plan, I think it's too risky. Although Sabo is indeed very strong, letting him infiltrate Pangaea City alone might not only fail to gather any information, but could also easily lead to his own demise."

Bello Beatty sighed: "We don't have a better solution either. It seems you and the Commander-in-Chief have come up with a better plan?"

Robert nodded: "I am a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, and my mobility is much better than Sabo's. It would be safer for me to infiltrate, and I also arranged three ways to attract attention!"

Bello Betty frowned and asked, "Which level are we?"

Robert held up three fingers: "You are the closest, but you will be the last to activate this skill; it's the third level."

"As for the second layer, I actually started planning it two or three months ago."

"All food supplies to Mary Geoise have been reduced, and by now, they can only sustain the most basic daily needs."

"This is a gradual change; you won't see it in a day or two. It's all about depleting Mary Geoise's food reserves. When the World Conference begins, I will immediately send people to completely cut off all supply lines to Mary Geoise!"

The army commanders exchanged glances. They had originally discussed this plan, intending to throw the Celestial Dragons into chaos by cutting off Mary Geoise's supply lines. However, each time they considered the plan, they found that the cost was too high and would require a large number of troops.

Moreover, once this is done, the revolutionary army will move from underground to above ground, and the revolution will no longer be a secret plan, but a real head-on confrontation with the navy at sea!

Even though the revolutionary army had been preparing for this day for a long time, they still dared not make the decision to launch a full-scale war.

However, during the meeting, Long skipped over the issue of food shortages. It wasn't that he vetoed the plan with his vote, but rather that there was a better solution. At the time, no one knew what the Commander-in-Chief meant. Only then did they realize that Robert was that solution!

Robert left only one finger: "As for the first level, I want to move as many of the naval forces guarding Mary Geoise as possible, otherwise, if we make even the slightest mistake, we could be surrounded by the navy."

Lindbergh, the most impatient of them all, hurriedly said, "How could that be? At this stage, nothing is more important than the World Conference. How could the Navy be so easily transferred?"

Robert's deep gaze swept towards the New World:

"What if all four Emperors were to mobilize and wage a world-class war?"

Chapter 24: The War Begins!

As the last king to attend the World Conference entered Pangaea, the conference room doors slowly closed. The conference, which was supposed to have 50 attendees, was only attended by 49 kings. King Bartholomew Xiong of the Kingdom of Sobel, who was not disqualified from attending, tacitly remained silent about his absence.

As the conference room doors closed, the giant clock hanging at the highest point in the world was pulled and struck, its melodious sound seemingly carrying across the entire sea.

Countless eyes were fixed on Mary Geoise; at that moment, the concept of it being the center of the world became tangible.

As the bells of Mary Geoise rang, the bells of the member states around the world rang at the same time.

The sound of the bell acted as a signal, stirring the nerves of countless restless individuals.

Above a sea of ​​clouds tens of thousands of meters high, a colossal ship, as large as an aircraft carrier, is flying towards the sea area closest to the end of the Grand Line. The ship is lush and green, as if woven from a dense forest. Hundreds of adorable mechanical soldiers on board are busy running the ship, seemingly never tiring.

These mechanical engineers, who originally had comical brown mustaches under their noses, have now all had their appearances changed.

The golden helmet on his head was removed and replaced with a white turban. His original brown beard was also dyed white and trimmed into the same style as Edward Newgate's white beard.

Alongside the mechanical engineers busily navigating the boat, the little people of the Tontatta tribe are also busy. Their work is more like that of gardeners, constantly monitoring the growth of the living vessel beneath their feet and adjusting its nutrient and water supply.

Hela is sending out signals of happiness. This precious tree, Adam, seems to have some special abilities. Even ordinary people who don't have Observation Haki, which allows them to hear the voices of all things, or even Haki, can sense Hela's emotions.

Inside Hela's ship's cabin, pirates were constantly running back and forth, some correcting the course, others making contact with others.

Marco leaned against a railing made of woven branches at the bow of the ship, watching the tiny mechanical soldiers bustle about with a grin, until one of his elite pirate subordinates approached to report something. Only then did his smile fade, and he walked to the shade of a clump of branches that resembled a parasol.

"We have arrived at the designated location, and our brothers from Qinghai are all in position. Has the bell of Mary Geoise rung yet?"

A man reclined on a wooden chair under the shade of a tree, while a maid behind him massaged his shoulders with a smile.

The man being massaged had his eyes closed, his fingers rhythmically tapping the armrests of the chair. Marco didn't urge him after asking his question, but just stood aside and waited patiently.

The man suddenly stopped tapping on the armrest, his closed eyes snapping open: "The bell has rung, it's time for us to get started!"

The maid behind him stopped moving, her smile vanished instantly, replaced by a cold and capable expression. The moment she finished speaking, she strode to the edge of the deck and leaped into the sea of ​​clouds.

The fat man in the yellow shirt, Buffalo, had been waiting on the deck for a long time. He jumped down right after him and rushed to Baby-5's feet. The two of them instantly disappeared into the clouds.

A dazzling light shone in the clouds, and then, through the refraction of the clouds, it reflected the entire sea of ​​clouds below Hela into a bright blue gem, followed by a deafening explosion.

The massive fleet, which was originally sailing on the sea, became alert when it observed that the clouds overhead were emitting a light brighter than the sun.

But all of this happened too fast. The fleet was still wondering what was going on with the glowing clouds when a dazzling beam of light connected heaven and earth, striking the ship at the very front of the line.

The beam of light was extremely powerful; the moment it touched the ship, it blasted it into a shower of wood chips, leaving not a single intact piece of the ship's structure.

Even more terrifying, the beam of light did not disappear after sinking one ship. As if someone were shining a giant flashlight on the sea, the beam of light moved to another ship.

In less than half a minute, the fleet of seven or eight large ships was reduced to nothing more than wood chips floating on the sea surface, a testament to their existence.

Beneath a broken piece of wood, half of a pirate flag, not completely burned, was faintly visible, bearing the insignia of the famous Beasts Pirates of the New World!

The light from that shot could be seen even from dozens of kilometers away, and the bells that were supposed to ring in response to Mary Geoise seemed to be accompanying it.

The moment the beam of light went out, countless ships flying the Raibu Pirates flag seemed to receive a signal to attack and began to rush toward the islands and countries that had been occupied by the Whitebeard Pirates.

These territories had been under their protection for many years, and they knew how to navigate the surrounding sea routes even with their eyes closed. Now, returning to their old territories, the pirates were filled with fighting spirit.

But just as it was expected that Raibe would launch a war to reclaim his territory at this time, a large number of Beast Pirates also poured onto the island, and the two sides clashed in a real battle.

The pirates of the Raibu clan gritted their teeth. They knew all too well the rules of this sea. Even if their leader had earth-shattering power, he couldn't just attack the enemy's grunts right away.

Only when the lower-ranking pirates on one side are at a disadvantage will someone get restless and send out their officers first. And often, the pirate crew that sends out its officers first is the one that ultimately loses.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, kings against kings—this is the rule of the pirate world. Whoever's general attacks their soldiers first signifies the defeat of their soldiers and proves that their underlying strength is insufficient.

A blond man wearing a pink feather cloak was staring at the direction where the pillar of light had just disappeared. An anxious report came from the Den Den Mushi beside him: "Lord Doflamingo! The Gifter Squad 4, led by Poker Master, has completely lost contact!"

"The location they were in before they lost contact should be the area where the mysterious pillar of light appeared at sea. Now the Lightning Division is launching a full-scale attack on the islands we have defended. If something happens to the 4th Division, the islands to the west will not be able to hold out without reinforcements!"

Doflamingo's eyes, hidden behind his sunglasses, showed no panic whatsoever; instead, there was a hint of excitement, and even the corners of his mouth curled up in a smile: "What's the rush? It's just that a few dozen guys who ate artificial Devil Fruits led the Laughing Band team and they've lost their lives. It's not like the west has already fallen!"

"Vergo! Take our men to see this. I refuse to believe they can launch that kind of attack a second time!"

No sooner had Doflamingo finished speaking than another beam of light appeared between heaven and earth.

"Lord Doflamingo! The 6th Division is gone too! Ten ships in total! All gone!"

Vergo, a die-hard Doflamingo fan, swallowed hard: "Um... should I bring more people with me?"

Chapter 25 The Ugly King's Battlefield

When Robert said he was going to mobilize the Four Emperors, he naturally included himself as one of them. As soon as the bells of Mary Geoise rang, his Lightning Division was the first to launch an attack on the Beasts Pirates.

He wasn't the only one waiting for the bell to ring. Within Whole Cake Island, hundreds of large ships were already prepared, just waiting for a signal to set sail. As for their target, it was none other than Robert and Luffy's crew, who had caused chaos on Whole Cake Island.

The root cause of the disaster on Whole Cake Island actually lies with the Big Mom Pirates themselves. After all, they were the ones who lured Robert into their territory with the intention of killing him, which led Robert to decide to cause a ruckus on a whim.

From another perspective, even if they didn't attack Robert, he would still cause a big disturbance in Whole Cake Island with Caesar Clown in order to steal the Road Poneglyphs stored in the center of Whole Cake Island amidst the chaos.

Since Law has already taken his entire pirate crew and joined Robert's Raibu, Robert must bear the consequences of his every move. Therefore, it's not entirely wrong for the Big Mom Pirates to decide to retaliate against Raibu.

The Big Mom Pirates must show their stance, just like the Whitebeard Pirates back then. Even though they lost their pillar-like captain Whitebeard, they could not back down an inch when facing challengers.

As a member of the Four Emperors' team, once their prestige is challenged, they must fight back with the strongest stance, otherwise their reputation will plummet to rock bottom, turning them into easy targets for any Tom, Dick, or Harry to take a swipe at.

After the great chaos in Whole Cake Island, even though Charlotte Linlin knew very well that even if she were in a sober state, she would probably not gain any advantage against Robert, a new generation expert who was in his prime and whose Devil Fruit ability completely countered hers, she still had to grit her teeth and lead her men into battle.

Fortunately, her spies kept sending back messages. After analyzing the deployment of the Lightning Division's forces, they discovered that Robert had made a decision that baffled everyone—they seemed to be heading for the Beasts Pirates!

Charlotte Linlin had already prepared for the Thunder Department to muster its troops for a formal attack on Whole Cake Island, but she did not expect Robert to be so irrational as to be so obsessed with taking back the territory left behind by Whitebeard.

This is the best opportunity for the Big Mom Pirates. They have always been on good terms with the Beast Pirates. Charlotte Linlin and Kaido are like siblings. Although they fight and bicker whenever they meet, their relationship is truly solid.

The Big Mom Pirates themselves wouldn't dare say they could defeat the newly formed Raibu, but with the addition of the Beasts Pirates, it would be a different story. After Whitebeard's death, the strongest pirate force was the Beasts Pirates, while the most stable pirate force was Whole Cake Island.

If these two powers joined forces, even the Navy would have to mobilize all its forces to barely resist, let alone Robert, a mere youth.

The moment the bells of Mary Geoise rang, the Navy, representing the World Government's largest security force, was tied to the Red Line and powerless to intervene in the great war in the New World. Just as Bello Beatty had feared, nothing was more important than the World Conference during this period.

The fact that two of the Four Emperors joined forces to deal with a newly emerging pirate crew that was only one battle away from reclaiming its throne would be something the World Government would absolutely not allow under normal circumstances.

The Four Emperors can deal with those who want to challenge them separately, but at most they can discuss their friendship privately. Once there is any substantial alliance, the Navy will definitely come out in full force. They would rather cripple the Navy in a battle than fail to break the alliance.

The only opportunity for the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates to join forces against an enemy is during the seven days of the World Government Summit!

The massive fleet of the World Kingdom, spearheaded by the Queen Mother's Hymn, cut through the waves toward the latter half of the New World. More than a hundred enormous ships maintained a safe distance of two nautical miles from each other, occupying an area of ​​several hundred square kilometers.

Along the way, even the naval bases they passed kept their gates tightly closed. The navy, which had been largely diverted to Mary Geoise, only dared to stand guard on the outer high walls. Not a single warship dared to leave the dock, lest it provoke this powerful fleet that was determined to seek revenge.

But there really was someone oblivious at sea. Katakuri, the leader of the Sweet Commanders, who was resting with his eyes closed on the flagship's deck, preparing for a major battle, suddenly opened his eyes, revealing a crimson exclamation: "Enemy attack! Someone underwater is trying to sabotage the ship!"

Charlotte Prim, the twentieth daughter of the Charlotte family and a half-fish-man, reacted quickly and immediately led her fish-man pirates into the water.

Blood was constantly seeping out from underwater. Katakuri, being a Devil Fruit user, was unable to go into the water to help his sister, but he was also a very caring older brother who looked after his family. He could only pace back and forth on the deck with slight anxiety.

Charlotte Lingling's face was grim. She hadn't expected that someone would dare to block her path so soon after leaving the Kingdom of Ten Thousand. She glanced coldly at her children beside her and said:

"What, do you want me to do it myself?"

Charlotte Owen, the fourth son, quickly stepped forward: "No need, Mom, leave it to us!"

He gave a few instructions to one of his men, who quickly jumped into the water to report. Soon after, Charlotte Prim surfaced with her men, her face filled with the fear of not being able to finish the battle quickly and displeasing her mother.
