One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Luffy was already able to defeat several Beast Pirates' True Fighters, including Hawkins, all by himself. Now, with Ace joining the fray, the two of them are truly unstoppable.

When Sabo learned that Luffy and Ace had done something so significant, he was completely stunned, which made all his previous plans seem like a joke.

Sabo rubbed his temples, pondering whether he should simply muster his troops, take them to conquer the city Luffy and his crew had captured, and then use it as a base to stage a Taikou Risshiden-style war.

A muffled rumble of thunder suddenly came from the horizon. Sabo glanced to the side, thinking that Robert had also rushed over to join them despite his busy schedule.

But what came into view was a giant dragon, over a hundred meters long, flying crookedly across the sky, as if it were drunk.

Sabo's mind went blank for a few seconds. In the whole world, only Kaido can have such a form, but Robert's side has clearly launched a full-scale war against the Beasts Pirates. The news that they are about to approach Onigashima is that Kaido is not going to deal with them but has appeared in Wano Country.

Sabo, breathing heavily, quickly ordered the Straw Hat Grand Fleet to remain still and wait, while he himself sped off after Kaido.

Even when drunk and flying erratically, Kaido is still far beyond Sabo's reach. Sabo can only barely keep Kaido in his sight, but the distance between them keeps getting further and further apart.

Kaido descended from the clouds, and soon a pillar of fire shot into the sky from the ground, causing Sabo's heart to skip a beat.

It was clear that Ace and Kaido were fighting. Sabo sped up his pace and rushed towards the scene of the battle without hesitation.

But when he arrived, all he saw was a scene of utter devastation.

Ace must have held back; otherwise, with his current strength, if he unleashed his full power, this not-so-small city would have long since become a fiery hell.

Kaido was nowhere to be seen, and Luffy and Ace had also disappeared. Only the Beasts Pirates remained, fiercely maintaining order.

Sabo, hiding in the shadows, captured a pirate who was cursing as he passed by.

"Tell me, where are those two guys who were causing trouble here just now?"

This pirate has no backbone at all. Sabo hadn't even started scaring him yet, and he had already confessed everything in detail:

"Those two defeated Lord Holdem and Lord Hawkins, and now Lord Kaido has personally captured them and taken them to the mining site!"

Sabo felt a headache coming on. In a fit of anger, he knocked the pirate in his hand unconscious, hoisted him onto his shoulder, and headed back to where they had landed.

"Now that's great, it's impossible for things not to fall into chaos at the mine!"

Chapter 30 Two Roberts?

Countless eyes are turned to the new world, where a new king is challenging the throne of the Four Emperors.

Robert doesn't need to defeat Kaido; he only needs to take back the territory that originally belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates from the Beasts Pirates to secure his position as one of the Four Emperors.

The final obstacle standing in Robert's way is not Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, but a master who has only risen to fame in the last two years.

A shirtless man wearing sunglasses and a man with a giant flower growing from his back blocked Robert's way, as if he wanted to take on Robert's feud with Doflamingo.

Robert looked at the Mori-Mori Fruit user before him, who had become a Marine Admiral through the World Military Draft and who strongly agreed with Akainu's ideals of justice, and couldn't help but laugh:

“Mr. Araki, we have quite a grudge between us. Back then, you and Akainu... oh no, he's no longer a Marine Admiral, he should be called Sakazuki.”

"Back then, you and that guy Sakazuki attacked the Whitebeard Pirates. You could say that the reason our territories fell into other people's hands is because of you."

"Now that you're here, aren't you really afraid I'll kill you?"

Araki laughed as well: "You're a Logia-type user, and so am I. Killing me won't be easy, will it?"

Robert pointed to the sky and then to his feet: "Your Forest-Forest Fruit is indeed quite powerful on the ground, but who gave you permission to fly up in the sky and show off now?"

Just like the lightning that struck Doflamingo along the silk thread, leaving him lifeless and unknown, Robert released lightning from the clouds with a thought, striking the flower on Araki's back directly.

The once vibrant flowers instantly turned charred black. Araki let out a muffled groan, and his body surface suddenly became as rough as tree bark as he plummeted towards the island below.

Robert was falling much faster than Araki, blocking his path from the direction of his descent. Countless bolts of lightning erupted from his body, striking Araki from below.

Araki's body kept charring and peeling off, only to grow new bark. He was repeatedly sent back into the air by Robert's lightning strikes, unable to land at all.

Robert sneered, "You're clearly a farmer, yet you dare to leave the land and run to the sky to fight me? Aren't you courting death?"

Bolts of lightning struck Araki, not only draining his health but also preventing him from taking root in the ground to obtain nutrients.

Robert not only pushed Araki into the sky, but also sent his body out to sea!

Araki could easily see through Robert's intentions. His Rumble-Rumble Fruit allowed him to defy gravity and move freely in the air, while his own Forest Fruit could at most conjure a flower and glide with the wind.

If it weren't for Robert interfering, things would have been fine, but Robert's lightning strikes were incredibly destructive each time they hit Araki. If he couldn't land quickly to absorb nutrients from the soil, this expert would soon perish at sea in the most humiliating way.

Araki's body exploded, scattering into countless vines and roots that fell to the ground in freefall.

Robert's gaze sharpened, and his body erupted with countless bolts of lightning, striking each vine with pinpoint accuracy.

A large number of vines quickly charred and caught fire, turning into ashes in mid-air.

Only two vines were instantly carbonized by the high voltage, but thankfully they didn't catch fire or turn into ashes.

Robert's body suddenly appeared in front of the two vines that were far apart, and his domineering leg kicked them hard at almost the speed of light, as if he had split into two people in an instant.

Both vines were kicked and sent flying into the sea. Robert shook his head and sighed, "No wonder Sakazuki has his eye on him."

An inconspicuous seed, mixed in with the flying dust, slowly fell to the ground, instantly took root and sprouted, and soon grew into a towering tree.

The tree branches transformed into giant hands, viciously grabbing at Robert in mid-air. Robert dodged out of Araki's attack range: "That skill must have come at a high price, right?"

Araki's voice had lost its earlier composure. This ability to transform into a seed was indeed, as Robert had said, extremely costly. After all, it was a life-saving technique, requiring a very long time to nurture even one such resurrection seed. He hadn't expected it to be used up after only a few exchanges today.

"Robert! I don't know what kind of shady deal you made with Kaido, but now that I'm here, don't think you can achieve your goal so easily!"

Robert's smile was radiant: "You don't even know what my purpose is, so how dare you assert that I can't achieve it?"

Araki was about to retort when he discovered that Robert had already vanished from the spot.

In Mary Geoise, thousands of miles away, the sky had become filled with dark clouds.

Mary Geoise sits atop the highest point of the Red Earth, where many clouds are not even as high as it. Such overcast weather has not been seen for a long time.

A Celestial Dragon wearing a bubble helmet is whipping his slave: "Get up! Can't you see the weather's bad? If it starts raining and you're not back inside by then, I'll kill you!"

He raised his right hand, and the whip shot up, its tip flying straight into the sky like a lightning rod.

The lightning surged from the dark clouds and struck the long whip in an instant. The Celestial Dragon didn't even have time to scream before he was stunned by the electric shock.

This bolt of lightning was like flipping a switch on a dark cloud, with countless bolts striking the ground in succession, engulfing the Celestial Dragons and Mary Geoise guards who were still on their way. Fortunately, due to the weather, most people were sheltering indoors and thus avoided being struck by lightning.

But the lightning strike was followed by a great fire. After the natural disaster, the dwelling place of the Celestial Dragons, the so-called land of the gods, was engulfed in flames.

Shouts rose and fell incessantly; some cried for help to put out the fire, while others were busy taking their masters to safety.

Suddenly, a pleasant female voice came from all the audio devices in Mary Geoise: "Hello, can you hear me?"

Radios, loudspeakers, and even a plush toy that can make sounds all become carriers of this sound.

Soon after the questioning, melodious singing could be heard.

In this environment of fires raging everywhere and thunder rumbling, the singing seemed somewhat out of place.

But no one could object, because everyone who heard the song was like a puppet, their eyes instantly losing their sparkle.

One by one, the guards who had been controlling the detonators of the slaves' explosive collars took them off under the guidance of the song, and after only a moment, everyone's eyes regained their clarity.

All the slaves looked at the removed explosive collar in disbelief, not knowing what had happened.

Robert's figure floated in mid-air, the clouds becoming his megaphone:

"I can't beat the drums of liberation now, so let me just throw in a thunderclap to liven things up!"

Chapter 31 Nightmare Buster!

If the World Government still doesn't know that the chaos was caused by Robert, then their ability to rule the world for 800 years would truly be a joke.

The entire Knights of God rushed towards the direction where Robert had appeared, braving the lightning. The ordinary guards, however, dared not leave the building to join them, for they would be struck by lightning the moment they showed themselves.

Even hiding inside the house wasn't safe, because the slaves were no longer bound by their collars.

Admittedly, many slaves have been oppressed for too long and have completely lost the will to resist. Even without the explosive collars that could threaten their lives, they still dare not even bare their teeth at the Celestial Dragons, always feeling that this chaos will soon be suppressed and they will suffer even more miserable torture.

However, the more submissive a person is, the stronger their tendency to blindly follow others. When Bello Betty, the commander of the revolutionary army's Eastern Army, who had benefited from the encouragement, raised his arm and called for action, many slaves who had been oppressed for a short time or who were inherently irritable immediately rose up in rebellion.

When Bello Betty used her Devil Fruit powers, she always used morale-boosting tactics, saying things that stirred people's hearts.

However, she is now constipated because only a small portion of the slaves are affected by her Devil Fruit power; the vast majority of slaves have had their souls completely eroded by their fear of the Celestial Dragons.

Bello Betty sighed, forced to resort to the rhetoric Robert had taught her; that bastard seemed to have anticipated this outcome:

"Stop clinging to any illusions. You know better than anyone what the Celestial Dragons are!"

"Did you think that as long as you didn't lift a finger, or even help the Celestial Dragons suppress other rebellious slaves, you could avoid being purged or even freed from your slave status?"

"Don't be silly! We are the revolutionary army, and we've come here today specifically to rescue you all!"

"Once we rescue all the slaves who have risen up in rebellion, do you think the Celestial Dragons will vent their anger on whom?"

"It can only be you who stay!"

So, my friends! Pick up your weapons!

"The moment the thunder of liberation explodes, whether you laid a hand on the Celestial Dragons or not, you have already become an accomplice!"

"Should we cower and wait to die, or fight for our own and our family's freedom?"

The choice is yours!

"Or rather! The rudder to freedom and happiness has always been in your own hands!"

Belo Betty's Devil Fruit ability is very strong. Although it doesn't seem to have any direct offensive capabilities, the world of One Piece is a world of idealism, and any ability that can influence other people's mindset is very powerful.

Robert had indeed seen a lot of toxic motivational quotes online, but he believed that the few encouraging words he remembered were definitely not more effective than the rhetoric that Bello Beatty had summarized from a lifetime of PR work.

Therefore, the few words he left for Bello Beatty were more of a threat than an encouragement.

Only by cutting off the slaves' escape route can they be determined to resist the Celestial Dragons' oppression.

Bello Betty was initially resistant to this approach, until Robert told her that famous Chinese story:

"Xiang Yu then led all his troops across the river, sinking all the boats, breaking the cooking pots, burning the huts, and carrying only three days' rations, to show his soldiers that they must fight to the death and have no thought of retreat."

Ziringom Saint arrived the fastest. He was also Robert's old rival. After arriving at the Land of the Gods, he first looked at his own Lemosee Manor. He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw a cacophony of shouts of battle.

Compared to the towering flames at the five estates of the Jaigollusia family, the Shepard family, and others where the Five Elders reside, the riots were already quite minor.

But in an instant, Qilingom Saint gritted his teeth again. As the saying goes, if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold. These rebels dared to set fire to even the families of the Five Elders. Would they let their own family go?

Zilingom Saint yawned, unleashing his hypnotic abilities to the fullest. The guards and rebellious slaves who were fighting in the nearest blocks suddenly slowed down and soon started yawning. In the end, they didn't even care that they were on the battlefield, and they fell asleep as sleepiness overwhelmed them.

The moment these people entered their dreams, countless nightmare monsters suddenly descended upon the world, and under the command of the Holy Spirit Qilingom, they began to rush towards other districts.
