One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Robert, who was floating in mid-air and summoning lightning, had already spotted Ziringom Saint's figure. However, he did not stop him immediately when he saw him activate his skill, seemingly disdainful of Ziringom Saint's methods of creating nightmare monsters.

When he saw these nightmare monsters appear in the world, Robert actually laughed unrestrainedly, bending over backwards like Luffy in Gear 5.

"That's hilarious! If you had used the skill elsewhere, the nightmare monster you summoned might have actually caused us some trouble."

"But this is Mary Geoise! ​​Whether slaves or guards, guess what their deepest fears are?"

"You summoned an army of Celestial Dragons? That's ridiculous!"

Zilingom Saint gritted his teeth, remaining silent in the face of Robert's mockery, because even he himself was itching with hatred.

How hateful are my incompetent Celestial Dragon brethren! Whether it's the guards of Mary Geoise or the slaves who fight against them, what they fear most are these Celestial Dragons who have no fighting ability and only know how to bully others because of their status!

A group of dark-skinned Celestial Dragons charged at the rebellious slaves in other areas, raising their whips high. This only fueled the slaves' hatred, and they were quickly beaten to pieces. It was truly the most disastrous battle that Saint Zilingom had fought since he ate the Devil Fruit.

Fortunately, these summoned nightmare monsters can resurrect indefinitely. Saint Zilingom believed that as long as the slaves saw the demon Celestial Dragons he had just killed rise again, it would surely trigger the deepest fears in their hearts.

Robert had had enough of the show and was no longer going to hold back. Countless bolts of lightning rolled down, striking the nightmare monsters with pinpoint accuracy.

The immortal nightmare monster shattered into pieces the moment it came into contact with the lightning, and no matter how much Qilingom Saint used his skills, he could not revive it!

Saint Zilingom was shocked. He had never encountered such a situation before. Nightmare monsters were materialized from the fear in people's hearts. As long as the dreamers who created them did not die, or if those people did not dispel the fear from the bottom of their hearts, the nightmare monsters would never die.

But now, faced with Robert's thunder, these monsters have completely vanished!

Qilingom Saint cried out that it was impossible, and continued to spread his hypnotic power, pulling more people into the dream, and then summoning the Nightmare Celestial Dragon.

No matter how many nightmare monsters he summoned, they were all destined to be scattered by Robert one move at a time!

Seeing that Saint Zilingam stood frozen in place as if his faith had collapsed, no longer activating his Devil Fruit power, Robert sighed instead:

"It's already gone soft? What a pity."

"Only a third of the area you hypnotized was affected..."

Chapter 32 Satan was born to do great things.

The Revolutionary Army's rescue team also felt a sense of regret. Mori, the commander of the Western Army and a giant transvestite who could easily dig tunnels anywhere after eating the Push-Push Fruit, was leading his men to rescue the slaves who had been hypnotized by Ziringom Saint.

To be honest, when the slaves are enraged and only focused on revenge, it is actually very difficult to take them away.

Many people's mindset changes are really two extremes. At the beginning, they were timid and dared not take action, but in an instant, they became like, "I'm not going to live anymore, killing one more Celestial Dragon is a huge profit."

Once their hands were stained with the blood of the Celestial Dragons, and they realized that the Celestial Dragons who had once terrified them to the point of not even having the courage to resist were nothing but a bunch of useless trash, many of them were unwilling to cooperate even if the Revolutionary Army wanted to take them away.

So, Ziringum Saint's Devil Fruit ability actually helped him; everyone in the neighborhood he walked through, whether Celestial Dragons, guards, or slaves, would fall into a deep sleep.

Mori only needed to activate his Devil Fruit ability to dig tunnels, and his Revolutionary Army soldiers would drag the sleeping slaves underground.

Lindbergh, the commander of the Southern Army of the Revolutionary Army, is the only one of the four army commanders who did not eat a Devil Fruit. As a member of the Mink Tribe, he is a great inventor. He had already laid a simple slide in the tunnel that Mori dug, and sent the slaves who were dragged into the tunnel to the edge of the Red Line along the way they came.

At the entrance to the tunnel, the Northern Army commander and the crow who had eaten the coal fruit had been waiting for a long time. A simple elevator had been set up there. Every time a group of freed slaves were gathered, they would be sent to the sea via this elevator and transported away by the revolutionary army's ships.

Following behind Ziringum Saint and picking up corpses was incredibly efficient, but now he seems to have been driven to despair by Robert, no longer willing to use his Devil Fruit power to hypnotize slaves, which is truly a pity for the Revolutionary Army.

In fact, if Saint Kiringom had just held on for a little longer, his army of demon Celestial Dragons would have been of great use. With the arrival of other members of the Knights of God, along with a large number of Divine Blades, Robert was already struggling to cope.

There are only three known God's Guardians: Junko, Shanks, and Harald, the former chieftain of the Giants.

These three were all legendary swordsmen from the early days. Today, Shanks has long since become a full-fledged member of the pirate crew, Shanks has returned to the pirate ranks and even became one of the Four Emperors, while Harald died young at the hands of his own son.

The story only introduces three God's Blades, but that doesn't mean there are only three God's Blades in this world.

As reserve members of the Knights of God, many promising individuals join the Knights of God every year, especially after the Hunting Tournament, when a group of outstanding Celestial Dragons are always selected.

Compared to the Mary Geoise guards who can be easily dealt with as mere grunts, the members of the Knights of God are more or less quite capable. If Robert concentrates his efforts on attacking one person, he can easily crush them, but it is somewhat difficult for him to deal with everyone at once.

In this situation, there was naturally no energy left to clear out the Nightmare Monsters summoned by Qilingom Saint on a large scale.

The moment the Knights of God entered, the slaves' initial domineering spirit was instantly suppressed.

Although there are quite a few powerful individuals among the slaves kept in Mary Geoise, after all, the Celestial Dragons have criteria for selecting slaves, and they often give slaves treasures like Devil Fruits to eat, which has indeed produced many strong individuals.

However, compared to the Knights of God who had lived for an unknown amount of time, these slaves, who were often hungry and cold and frequently suffered beatings and were covered in wounds, were no match for them.

The revolutionary army, which was originally only responsible for rescuing the slaves, now had to join the battle.

Robert shouted, "What a boring place! I'm going to go play with the Five Elders instead!"

A dazzling bolt of lightning struck towards Pangu City, and the expression of the Divine Knights, who had just arrived on the battlefield, changed drastically.

Mafi Palace, who had dealt with Robert before, said sternly, "He's courting death! Garin Saint and the Five Elders are both in Pangaea City, yet he still dares to come here!"

Saint Somaz, however, was clearly thinking much more: "Leave all the Divine Blades behind to await naval support, and send the entire Knights of God to pursue him! We can't let him enter Pangaea Castle!"

Saint Somaz was no less experienced or powerful in the Knights of God. When he issued such a formal and clear order, many people carried it out first and then raised questions.

Maffei Palace gritted his teeth and followed behind Saint Somaz: "He's so fast, how can we possibly catch up with him!"

Saint Somaz lowered his voice and said, "We have to catch up even if we can't catch up. The World Conference is being held in Pangu City right now. It's already a sin to have someone cause such chaos in the Holy Land. If he ruins the World Conference, do you think we can escape responsibility?"

Maffei Palace wanted to ask more questions, but Saint Chiringom caught up with him. Now that he had calmed down, he helped explain, "The Land of the Gods has been destroyed. We are of no use there."

"The best way to protect yourself is to hurry up and chase after Robert and get away from there. As you said, with the Commander and the Five Elders in charge of Pangu City, there won't be any problems."

"Do you want to take responsibility in a place that's already in complete chaos, or do you want to coast along in a place where nothing is bound to go wrong?"

Maffei immediately shut his mouth and gritted his teeth as he chased after Pangaea City.

The five elders sat in their seats as the kings of various countries discussed new issues, while the elders voted on the results of the previous discussions.

The chaos from the Land of the Gods had long since reached Pangu City, but with the five of them in charge, the World Conference continued to proceed in an orderly manner.

No matter how chaotic things were outside, the Five Elders believed that Pangaea was safe, even though the navy that was supposed to protect Mary Geoise had been approved by them to leave for the New World.

Nasujiro snorted coldly: "Don't be so serious, I won't laugh at you. Although I was the only one who voted against the decision to allow the Navy to evacuate Mary Geoise, the order was still signed by everyone."

The abbot of the council, Sacred Way of Vocuri, said, "Most of the navy's ships should have already arrived in the Dragon Palace Kingdom. It's too late to call them back now."

"But we can't afford to panic right now. As long as we stay calm, the World Conference can continue."

"Although it's noisy outside, it hasn't affected Pangu City yet, which means the Knights of God can still keep things under control."

Saint Satan echoed, "We must remain calm in the face of great events. Even if the sky were to fall, we must at least not lose our composure!"

The messenger they had sent out to gather information rushed back and reported in a voice only they could hear:

"My lords, the pirate Robert, together with the Revolutionary Army, has wreaked havoc in the Land of the Gods. Your manors have all been destroyed. The exact number of casualties is still unknown."

"The Knights of God have gone to quell the rebellion, but I've heard that the Revolutionary Army has freed all the slaves; they are the main force behind the chaos in the Land of Gods!"

Satan, who had just been swearing he would remain calm, was the first to jump up: "How dare they!"

The messenger shrank back in fear, stammering, "And that Robert has come to Pangu City! Someone saw him transform into lightning and enter Pangu City, but we haven't found him yet..."

The five elders looked at each other in dismay: This is really a big problem!

Chapter 33 Old Kou, do you want to live or die?

The Celestial Dragons do not consider any non-Celestial Dragon creature as human, and the higher-ups among the Celestial Dragons have never actually considered ordinary Celestial Dragons as human either.

Those who rise to the position of the Five Elders have long been marked with the Abyss Mark by Im, making them immortal.

When a person's life is short, they will subconsciously regard procreation as a very important task in life; this consciousness is engraved in their genes.

Furthermore, when one's own strength is weak, one must choose to stick together for warmth, and the bond that can make the relationship unbreakable is family affection.

However, these only apply to ordinary people.

When a person is strong enough, they no longer need to rely on family relationships to protect themselves from risks. Sometimes, the risks themselves even come from family relationships. In such cases, the need to have children will inevitably decrease.

If someone with such immense power were also immortal, then kinship would become dispensable in their life.

The Five Elders look after their families more like raising pets, and these pets just happen to be related to them in some way.

When they heard that their family estate, which they had managed for so long, had been destroyed, their anger stemmed more from the impact on their own status and position, giving rise to a sense of "you have to consider the owner before you beat the dog" rather than from heartache for the harm done to their children and grandchildren.

But when they heard that Robert had stormed into Pangu City, their expressions changed drastically, as if the sky were about to fall.

It's not that they're afraid Robert will cause any destruction in Pangaea. With the Celestial Dragons' wealth and status, they wouldn't care even if the entire Mary Geoise were destroyed; they could just collect some Celestial Gold to rebuild it.

It's not that the Five Elders were afraid of Robert's power or felt their safety was threatened, but rather that this Pangu City wasn't just the Five Elders' office; a very important person also lived there!

The Five Elders didn't even care about the annihilation of their entire families. Given their status and position, what did it matter if they were the only ones left in their families?

But they knew that all their power and strength were not obtained by themselves. These five seemingly the most powerful old men in the world had a king above them who could take their lives at any time—Im!

If Robert were to offend Im, although they believed that Robert could not possibly pose any threat to Im, if Im thought they had done a poor job and decided to remove one of them from the position of one of the Five Elders, that would be a real disaster!

At that moment, all thoughts of the World Conference were forgotten. The Five Elders unleashed unimaginable speed, disappearing from their original positions almost instantly.

The kings of the various countries looked at each other in bewilderment. They had realized something was wrong when they heard the commotion outside, but the Five Elders remained calm and composed, so everyone had a sense of what was going on.

However, after the Five Elders lost their composure and used their teleportation skills to leave after hearing someone's report, everyone found it difficult to concentrate on the discussion, and each of them started to have their own agenda.

Robert disappeared immediately after rushing into Pangaea. He was no longer afraid that Im had any wide-range Observation Haki detection abilities. He had already tested Im's detection limits when he came to Mary Geoise last time, which meant that as long as he didn't rush into the Flower Chamber, he would be fine.

Even Sabo managed to hide and escape unscathed after infiltrating Pangaea and hearing so much unknown information, so it was like Robert was coming home.

In fact, he had already sneaked into this ancient city countless times in the past few days. Robert had arrived in Mary Geoise long before the World Conference began.

The reason why Robert and several commanders of the Revolutionary Army were able to overhear the conversation between the Five Elders in the small conference room was because Robert had placed listening devices in several conference rooms beforehand.

Because of their fear of Vegapunk, the World Government dared not use any high-tech products, but Robert was not afraid and instead used them even more aggressively.

He not only used it, but also shared the permissions with allies everywhere. For example, Vegapunk and the Revolutionary Army headquarters heard the Five Elders' decision clearly when he overheard it.

If it weren't for the fact that he immediately revealed he had planted listening devices in Pangaea during the live broadcast, Robert would have wanted to broadcast the Five Elders' casual decisions to the world.

Pangu City was in chaos. For the first time, the World Conference was interrupted due to external forces. The kings of various countries were taken out of the conference room and sent back to their respective delegations' rooms for protection.

The entire Knights of God rushed into Pangu City, pretending to search for Robert's whereabouts.

Robert wasn't really trying to cause any real destruction; he would just occasionally blow out a light bulb or knock over a statue, keeping the search team on edge and constantly on edge.

Robert originally didn't want to cause trouble in Pangaea, but he had no choice but to do so in order to buy time for the revolutionary army to rescue the slaves.

After leaving the conference room, the Five Elders certainly wouldn't blindly participate in the search for Robert. The five of them quickly headed towards the Flower Room.

Im is their base; as long as they protect the Flower Garden from Robert's rampage, they don't care how chaotic things get elsewhere.

A guard came running up, and Saint Satan asked, "Have you found the pirates who illegally invaded?"

The guard quickly stood at attention and replied, "Reporting to you, sir, not yet!"
