One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Robert didn't dare to delay and quickly followed Vika into the communications room to answer the phone: "Is the battle over there over there over?"

Karina's voice was languid: "Don't even mention it. That Kurozumi Orochi is just like you said, a complete waste."

“I’ve done everything you asked me to do. As Kurozumi Orochi’s shogun, I announced the abolition of the privileged classes of samurai and daimyo. Then I killed Kurozumi Orochi and burned his body along with the castle tower he lived in.”

"Unless Wano Country elects a new Shogun who completely overturns Orochi's dying orders, there should be no obstacle to the liberation of Wano Country. I don't think the people of Wano Country are that stupid."

Robert chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I locked Kozuki Oden's son up on the Sky Island precisely to prevent them from doing something foolish."

"You've had a long day, Karina. Is nobody around? Shall I come pick you up now?"

Karina quickly said, "Let's ask Da Luo to pick me up. Your way of picking people up is too torturous."

In fact, with Karina's current physical condition, she would no longer feel dizzy from being assimilated by elements while traveling. However, when she was just an ordinary person, Robert took her on a high-speed journey across half of the Grand Line, which left her with some lingering trauma.

Luo was currently busy transporting supplies to the reclaimed territory. He didn't disturb him, but instead used the electronic mark left on Karina to teleport to her side. He then took out a leaf with Luo's name on it and opened a portal back to Hela.

As Karina walked into the portal, she took out two Devil Fruits: "These are the Devil Fruits of Orochi and that undercover agent named Kanjuro. Although they are both weak, I thought they were still Devil Fruits, so I kept them."

Robert was surprised that Kanjuro would die at Karina's hands in the end. He reached out and took the Stroke Fruit from Kanjuro: "I actually have some use for this fruit. You can keep the Mythical Zoan fruit. It's just that Orochi ruined its potential. It's not that the Orochi form of this fruit is weak."

Karina shrugged noncommittally: "What are the plans next? Do you need Uta and me to continue spreading your faith, you charlatan, in Wano Country?"

Robert chuckled and said, "The beliefs of Wano Country are very complex. Just look at how many unique mythical beasts have appeared in this country."

"Moreover, I didn't contribute at all in the battle to liberate Wano Country, so I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the people of Wano Country of the power of lightning through propaganda."

"But you and Uta can help promote Ace in Wano Country. He became a hero in the eyes of many people when he came last time, and now he has participated in the entire battle to defeat Kaido. His prestige in Wano Country must be very high."

Karina stared into Robert's eyes: "And what about you? Where are you going?"

Robert made a joke that Karina didn't understand: "I'm going to New Oriental."

Karina looked puzzled: "What East? Are we going to the East China Sea?"

Robert shook his head: "Do you remember that old man from the Big Mom Pirates called Longbread? I invited him to Greenbit Island, and now I'm going to go find him to improve my cooking skills."

Karina's expression was strange: "If others knew that the newly crowned Fourth Emperor Robert's quirk is cooking for others, I'm afraid our Thunder Department, which has just established its prestige, would completely collapse."

Robert laughed and said, "You've been on edge for so long, you should let me relax for a couple of days. You know how I de-stress: cooking, just like how you de-stress: singing."

Karina looked at Robert with gentle eyes. He had indeed been on edge for too long, or rather, ever since they met, Robert had seemed to be driven by some great danger, forcing him to keep running forward.

But Karina didn't ask him what he was afraid of. Now, Robert was strong enough, both in terms of his own strength and his companions, to handle any crisis or challenge. She would just stay by his side.

"After resting for so long, I thought the Wano Country incident would be quite fun, but it ended so easily. How boring."

Robert realized that Karina was subtly asking if he needed her help with anything else, and he smiled and said, "If you really haven't had enough fun, then go and pave the way for me again."

Karina flashed a sly smile: "So, tell me, who are you going to trick this time?"

Robert squinted: "The Five Elders!"

Chapter 1 Guess Where I Went

The Navy did not linger on Fishman Island, but left more troops than planned, including the newly promoted Admiral Momousagi.

Different hand types require different playing styles.

If Buggy's Express wants to hold off the Big Mom Pirates and cause them to suffer as many casualties as possible on their journey, they can only do so by sacrificing lives.

If Robert wanted to prevent the Navy from launching a full-scale invasion, all he needed to do was secretly take away a hundred or so of his men from Fishman Island.

If they can get rid of people, they can send them back. The navy had no choice but to station a large force to guard the Mermaid Kingdom in case Robert suddenly reoccupies the place with his space army.

The navy's warships were extremely fast, and special units were responsible for both resupplying the ships and clearing the route in advance. They arrived near Ghost Island in just two days.

The World Conference has ended. Whether it was the chaos in Mary Geoise or the Four Emperors' melee in the New World, both events have severely damaged the reputation of the Navy and the World Government.

The Five Elders have issued a death order: Robert must be removed from his position as one of the Four Emperors.

All the high-ranking naval officers gathered on Aokiji's flagship, their faces grave.

It is a foregone conclusion that Robert has become one of the Four Emperors. Although the title of the Four Emperors has never been officially recognized by the World Government, the fact that Robert has been given the highest level of threat and that a bounty of 50 billion has been printed overnight and will be sent to all parts of the world undoubtedly indicates Robert's current status.

At this point, the only way to remove him from his position as one of the Four Emperors is to inflict a crushing defeat on him.

But just like when the Whitebeard Pirates attacked Marineford, the Navy, even with its rested forces fighting on its home turf, couldn't gain any advantage, let alone now that it's their turn to play away.

The Navy has virtually no control over the New World; most of the time, it can only monitor it. This area has always been the territory of the four pirate kings.

Along the way, the navy's advance forces were constantly under attack. If it weren't for Admiral Fujitora personally overseeing the operation, they would have suffered heavy losses before even reaching Onigashima.

Even so, of the more than fifty warships the navy brought from the amusement park area, seven or eight were lost, with a casualty rate of nearly 20%.

Although Robert's Lightning Division had just experienced a major battle, with the Beasts Pirates and Sakazuki's new Marines taking turns fighting, their war ended three days ago, while the Marines had been rushing here without a moment's rest, and now the Marines were the ones who were exhausted.

What worried Aokiji even more was that Robert's Raibu did not send anyone to stop him until they got close to Onigashima. All the pirate harassment he encountered along the way was by scattered and unruly soldiers.

"Why think so much? Just attack the island that that kid Robert just occupied, and see if he can hold his temper!"

Garp sat casually on the sofa, nonchalantly offering his opinions while stuffing senbei into his mouth.

Aokiji frowned: "This isn't the first time we've fought him. The less he makes a move, the less confident I feel."

Garp is Aokiji's teacher, so he's the only one who can spout nonsense so freely now.

"This time it seems like Robert is waging war against the Beasts White Pirates, but none of his senior officers have shown up. The highest combat force he has deployed is Vista, Diamond Jozu, and a few other former division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"This revenge war against Kaido is just as devastating as when Kaido occupied their land. I don't believe it wasn't pre-arranged between the two sides!"

Kizaru, unusually, didn't chuckle and followed Aokiji's train of thought, analyzing, "On the Raibu side, only mid-level combatants and their leader Robert have appeared in the battle. The Beast Pirates have only sent their lowest-level combatants and the Donquixote family, who just surrendered. It seems they have no intention of defending these islands at all."

"I think they were just passing the buck. Back then, Robert felt that his strength couldn't keep up with his fame and he couldn't protect such a large territory, so he made a deal with Kaido to let him keep the land."

"Now that he feels he's capable enough, he's just made up some excuse to take it back."

Kizaru usually pretends to be stupid, but he is actually one of the few smart people in the Navy. He can see the essence of things in just a few words.

Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded in agreement: "The question now is how he managed to convince Kaido to agree to put on this show. You know, it's easy to give these islands to Kaido, but it will be difficult to take them back from him."

"But now it seems that Kaido really did return these islands to Robert as promised!"

Aokiji's face was grave: "CP0 spies have reported that Kaido isn't unwilling to personally defend those islands; it's that his base, Wano Country, is in serious trouble..."

He glanced at his master, Garp, who sat nonchalantly on the sofa, then gave Vice Admiral Tsuru a look. Seeing Tsuru give a subtle nod, he continued:

"The Straw Hat Grand Fleet, which was riding high, launched a surprise attack on Wano Country. They had a very good personal relationship with Robert, and had cooperated extensively in the Enies Lobby incident, the Sabaody Archipelago incident, and the Marineford War two years ago."

"Our information indicates that Robert almost became a member of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"If it weren't for the fact that Bartholomew Kuma scattered the Straw Hat crew two years ago in the Sabaody Archipelago, forcing Robert to develop on his own, they might already be on the same boat."

Garp's hand, which was about to put a snack in his mouth, froze in mid-air. He hadn't expected that his grandson was involved in this, and he felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

Vice Admiral Tsuru cleared his throat and continued, "The Straw Hat crew's surprise attack on Wano Country was also carried out by two high-ranking officers of the Raibu, Ace and Law, as well as Sabo, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army."

Garp looked even more embarrassed. It turned out that more than one grandson was involved; Ace was also involved.

Although Garp did not submit his resignation along with Sengoku because Ace did not die during the Marineford War, his sensitive position meant that he could not be informed of these firsthand battle reports about Ace and Luffy immediately.

Like other lieutenant generals, Garp was only revealed to these classified information at the last minute before arriving at the battlefield.

"Our current information is that the battle in Wano Country has ended and has turned into an uprising between ordinary people and the Shogun's government in power."

"The Straw Hat Pirates' battle with Kaido has moved to Onigashima, the Beasts Pirates' stronghold, and it is still ongoing."

Although Vice Admiral Tsuru is the Chief of Naval Staff, with Fleet Admiral Aokiji present, she consciously avoids dominating the meetings and tries to let Aokiji ask questions and give summaries.

Aokiji said seriously, "Ace and Law are practically the second and third most important figures in the Lightning Division. We don't yet know whether other important executives of the Lightning Division, such as Marco, are also participating in the battle on Onigashima."

"Now that we're making a big show of our approach to Ghost Island, it's very strange that Robert hasn't sent any troops to stop us!"

Before everyone could even begin discussing why Robert didn't send someone to stop the Marines and ensure that their battle with Kaido wouldn't be disturbed, the Den Den Mushi on the table interrupted the meeting.

In such a meeting, a phone call that can be directly connected to Aokiji must be extremely important.

Upon seeing the purple Den Den Mushi ring, Aokiji's expression changed. It was Fujitora, the general who was leading the way!

"Admiral Fujitora, have you discovered the Ikazuchi fleet?"

Fujitora's solemn voice rang out: "It wasn't Raibu! It was the Big Mom Pirates who launched an attack on us!"

When the intelligence in Chapter 2, page 1179 confirmed that Im was a man, I was devastated!

The Navy was aware that the Big Mom Pirates had set off for Wano Country to seek revenge, and also knew that Buggy the Clown, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, had inexplicably led his underlings to block the Big Mom Pirates at sea for three days with almost all their might.

They even knew that they arrived in Wano Country together, and then Buggy Express turned their ship around and headed towards Whole Cake Island.

The only thing the Navy couldn't understand was that the Big Mom Pirates, who were there to seek revenge on Robert and Luffy, were willing to take on the responsibility of stopping the Navy. After all, even the Navy could find out that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were about to lose the war, so how could the Big Mom Pirates, who were right next door, not know?

Shouldn't they take advantage of the situation and let the Navy, a third-party force, intervene to quickly mediate the war and gain a respite, or even join forces with the Navy to eliminate Robert and Luffy's pirate crews that are disrupting the existing order?

However, the Navy was also unable to explain why, whether due to timing or position, they could not take the initiative to propose a win-win cooperation with the pirates and could only take a hard line and fight them.

Fujitora's vanguard fleet only had five ships. Although he himself was extremely strong, in battles on the high seas, the focus had to be more on protecting his own ships. Otherwise, no matter how strong these Devil Fruit users were, they would be lost at sea without their ships.

The main force of the navy marched at high speed and quickly engaged in battle with the main force of the Big Mom Pirates.

Devil Fruit powers flew wildly across the sea, causing injuries and deaths to many.

The Big Mom Pirates are, after all, a veteran Yonko crew. Although they are missing their core member Charlotte Linlin, her children are no pushovers either, and they have put up a good fight against the Marines.

It wasn't until Kizaru and Garp joined the battle that the scales of victory began to tip in favor of the Navy.

A wounded navy officer was rescued from the enemy by a medical team and quickly taken to the medical room and handed over to the medic.

Robert hid in the shadows and only turned to leave after confirming that Karina had successfully boarded Kizaru's warship. Before leaving, he took one last deep look at a cabin with a closed door.

With battles raging across the seas, Robert can freely use his electromagnetic induction and Observation Haki to spy, since the Navy can't tell whether those randomly using their detection abilities are members of the Big Mom Pirates.

One of the Five Elders, Saint Satan, sat calmly in the cabin, as if the life-and-death struggle outside had nothing to do with him.

Robert transformed into lightning and left, not caring about the state of the battle. The Treasure Kingdom's navy would defend Onigashima to the death, because their mother was waging a life-or-death battle on the island.

The navy thought it was the savior who came to mediate the war, but how could the pirates dare to bet that they weren't the fishermen who came to reap the benefits?

With the addition of two admirals and Garp, a top-tier fighter, the Big Mom Pirates were immediately overwhelmed. However, the battle was not as one-sided as expected, because the essence of naval warfare is not a one-on-one duel between high-level fighters, but rather who can destroy enemy vehicles more efficiently.

After realizing they were no match for the Navy, Charlotte's family's experts quickly changed tactics, aiming to destroy the Navy's ships with every move.
