One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Over the years, he has devoted himself to studying the culinary arts, and in the field of cooking, he has even surpassed Robert, becoming a mid-level chef at a young age.

The long bread man was shrewd and knew exactly what he was doing as a prisoner. Since he couldn't beat Robert's gang, he simply stayed quietly in the place Robert had arranged for him.

Under the guise of a visit, Luo was actually a jailer sent by Lei Bu. He took Robert's mission very seriously, even neglecting the restaurant's operations, and simply stayed on Greenbite Island as well.

Robert never told him that the bread roll was made by the world's best chef. Robert always felt that he was not talented enough and that he could only work harder if he wanted to do things well, so he never stopped honing his culinary skills.

While accompanying the old man in jail on Greenbite Island, he simply started cooking for himself.

Longbread felt that he cooked in a very conventional way, so he couldn't help but offer some pointers. Over time, they developed a bond and he accepted Xiao Luo as his apprentice.

Now that the entire world is about to be taken over by Bucky, and Robert has almost finished with his work, he thought he should improve his cooking skills to satisfy his appetite and slow down the pace of standardization. So he simply brought out Longbread and Little Robert.

After Luffy and his crew finished their fight, they always had to have a banquet. Robert took the initiative to organize the catering for the Wano Country Fire Festival to welcome his brothers who had won a great victory.

Since there was such good free labor as Longbread, why not take advantage of it? That's why he was brought to Wano Country. But Robert didn't expect this old man to be so annoying. In the time it took to cook a meal, the two of them had already fought several times.

When Luffy and his crew returned to Wano Country, they saw that Robert and Longbread were clearly separated, each leading their own people to cook. Longbread's side was a high-end private chef with elite management, while Robert's side was a more casual, informal banquet.

Seeing the lively banquet, Luffy had long forgotten his resentment towards Robert and rushed into the most bustling place to start stuffing rice into his mouth.

Ace, Kid, and the others were also gluttons, and they all followed behind Luffy without any regard for their image, stuffing food into their mouths as if in a competition.

Only Law and Sabo remained relatively refined. Law walked up to the busy Robert and asked, "Where's Karina? I think it would be unreasonable not to acknowledge her as the one who made the greatest contribution to the Wano Country operation this time."

Robert replied busily, "I understand, but there's another important matter that only she can handle, so I sent her out ahead of schedule. How did your final battle go?"

Law laughed and said, "It was indeed difficult to face two Yonko, Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, at the same time, but our strength has improved over the years. In the end, we managed to knock them both into the lava on Onigashima without any major incident."

"Although I feel they probably won't die so easily, they shouldn't be able to cause us any trouble in the short term."

A trembling voice came from behind: "Lingling, she..."

Although Robert had never gotten along with the old man, he didn't want to provoke him further at this time, considering the old man's long-standing relationship with the woman.

"Don't worry, Charlotte Linlin is not dead."

I've done this problem in Chapter 5 before!

Longbread looked indignant, as if it were about to come up and fight Robert to the death.

He was just an unknown ordinary pirate back then, and thought he would live an ordinary life, but he accidentally met Charlotte Linlin who was crying when he traveled to Elbaf.

At that time, Charlotte Linlin was only 6 years old. Longbread witnessed her eating all her companions unconsciously during a gluttony episode and thought that this child was a rare commodity, so he tricked her into forming a pirate crew with him.

Initially, Longbread only used Charlotte Linlin, but as they spent more time together, Charlotte Linlin accompanied Longbread for most of his life, and the two supported each other like father and daughter.

Longbread had witnessed too much of Charlotte Linlin's malice towards others, but only towards him, this infamous Iron Balloon, did she show him only wholehearted kindness.

Longbread had long regarded Charlotte Linlin as true family. He was over ninety years old and had long since reached the age where he didn't care about life or death. Even when he was kidnapped by Robert, he didn't resist because he wanted to see if he could stay by Robert's side and help the Big Mom Pirates.

Now that he's heard Charlotte Linlin is dead, Longbread is filled with despair and has the idea of ​​fighting Robert and his gang to the death. He doesn't even need to win; he just wants to vent his hatred for them and then end it all.

Robert raised his hand to restrain the old man who had lost his mind, and pointed in the direction of the Straw Hat Pirates: "Look at that orange-haired girl, does the thundercloud next to her look familiar?"

"You should be very familiar with Charlotte Linlin's original Homies, right? Zeus, Prometheus, and Napoleon. These three are different from other Homies; they were created by Charlotte Linlin using fragments of her own soul."

"Some time ago I shattered Zeus, and I heard that she split off new fragments of her soul to create this thundercloud called Hera."

"As her destined Homie, if Charlotte Linlin herself dies, shouldn't Hera also disappear along with her master?"

"But it's still alive and well, and seems to be in a good mood. It doesn't look like it's about to disappear at all, so I'm sure Charlotte Linlin isn't dead yet."

Longbread has lived to such an old age, spending several times longer as a pirate than Robert has lived as a human. He was just blinded by anger, but once he calmed down, he quickly followed Robert's line of thought and confirmed that Charlotte Linlin should indeed still be alive.

But the old man also had his pride; he had just been acting like he was going to die, and it would be too embarrassing to ask him to change his attitude immediately.

At this moment, Robert, displaying the traditional virtues of respecting the elderly and caring for the young, took the initiative to defuse the awkward situation by putting his arm around the long bread's shoulder and saying:

"Grandpa, I know you resent me for destroying the Whole Cake Island that you've built up over your lifetime, but if I may be so bold, even if we don't make a move, isn't there someone else who will challenge the Big Mom Pirates?"

"In the world of One Piece, there are no heartwarming family games; everyone rises to power by stepping over the corpses of their predecessors."

Robert lowered his voice: "This time, taking action against Kaido was something that he and I had planned long ago. Rather than being killed by a young pirate who suddenly appears one day and doesn't know how to use his strength, Kaido chose to retreat gracefully through our hands."

"Charlotte Linlin is Kaido's most cherished older sister, but she's a bit out of her mind, so Kaido has included her part in his calculations as well."

"Don't worry, they won't die. And after we young people overthrow the World Government and create a new world, we will build a real home for these old pirates who long for family."

"Because this is what Dad has always wanted."

Robert brought out the white beard, and immediately convinced Longbread.

They were comrades who fought side by side in the Rocks Pirates. Longbread knew best what kind of person Whitebeard was, and Robert had always appeared on the seas as the successor to Whitebeard's will.

Whitebeard was the most clear-headed among the Rocks Pirates who only knew how to kill and cause chaos. Longbread believed that the successor he chose before his death would at least not be a heartless bastard.

Even if he really is a bastard, at least in order to maintain the high-level combat power of the original Whitebeard Pirates, he must pretend to be a respectable person for the rest of his life, playing the role of someone who values ​​family and kinship.

The long bread said wearily, "I'm too old to be a pirate, but I can still cook."

"If you need it, I can teach you all my cooking skills, just so you can help Lingling's children."

Robert laughed and said, "What are you saying? Even if you don't teach me how to cook, I will still find a way to help them."

Longbread forced an awkward smile, and Robert beckoned to the worried-looking Robert: "Mr. Longbread is getting old, Robert, take him downstairs to rest for a while."

Xiao Luo quickly stepped forward to help his master leave the fire festival site. Sabo, who had been standing silently to the side, chuckled and said, "Do you really think there's a place for these old pirates in your planned New World?"

Robert shrugged indifferently: "If I can't even beat the World Government, what's the point of making these promises now, whether they're true or false, since they can't be fulfilled anyway?"

"If I can overthrow the World Government, why should I be afraid of a few old pirates who are destined to be eliminated by the times? Giving them a peaceful end is just a piece of cake."

Sabo seemed pleased with Robert's words and asked with a smile, "And what about us? If you become the King of the World, how do you plan to deal with our Revolutionary Army?"

Robert shook his head: "First of all, I will not become the king of the world. Believe it or not, even if I lead the overthrow of the world government, I will not become any king."

"That's why I can be good friends with Luffy. Why do you think he wants to become the Pirate King? Is it to command all the heroes?"

Sabo laughed even harder: "Fine, you won't be the King of the World, but I still want to hear how you plan to deal with our Revolutionary Army."

His wording had changed from "deal with" to "handle," seemingly convinced that Robert would become a figure like the Five Elders.

Robert stopped arguing and stared into Sabo's eyes, saying, "If the government is corrupt, the Revolutionary Army is the hope for saving the world. But if the government is honest, incorruptible, diligent, and loves its people, then your Revolutionary Army is a malignant tumor that undermines peace and stability."

"If I form a government, I don't need to think about how to deal with you; I just need to do my job well."

"If we do not do well, you are free to raise your arms and lead the people to overthrow us."

"If we do a good enough job, then you can do whatever you want, and the people will willingly and consciously regard you as enemies!"

Chapter 6: The Cross Guild Receives an Epic Buff

With the conclusion of the World Conference, the maritime landscape has undergone a major transformation, most notably the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea system!

This issue was first raised by King Rick Dordor III of Dressrosa. It received a very high percentage of votes in favor during the roundtable discussion, but was ignored by the Five Elders.

The Seven Warlords system was established to fill the gap in the Navy's high-end combat power. There are four kings in the New World, each of whom is a master capable of fighting against the Navy's Fleet Admiral or Admiral.

Each of the Four Emperors has several subordinates at the level of the Emperor's Vice-President, such as the Three Disasters of the Beast Pirates and the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates.

The Navy is the strongest fighting force under the World Government. Although the Fleet Admiral is also highly skilled, he is usually a veteran with extensive experience. His duties are more about command and coordination than fighting on the front lines. Therefore, the three Admirals represent the ceiling of the Navy's fighting power.

Assuming each admiral is capable of fighting one of the Four Emperors, and considering experts like Garp who possess admiral-level strength but only hold the rank of vice admiral, the Navy's top-tier combat power is no less than that of the pirates.

However, compared to the next level of combat power, the Navy is no match for the pirate forces with their large population base.

The three admirals are not gods who can be in two places at once. With the strength of the navy alone, they simply cannot deal with all the pirates causing trouble on the high seas.

In such situations, recruiting top pirates into the Seven Warlords of the Sea, in exchange for pardoning some of their crimes and allowing them to legally plunder, is actually a low-cost and high-efficiency approach to dealing with other pirates.

However, while the Seven Warlords of the Sea maintain the rule of the World Government, the various member states below them pay the price. Such a system is bound to fail to gain the support of all Federation members.

The Five Elders naturally knew that this system was deeply resented by the member states, so with their political wisdom, they would not directly reject the issue, but simply say that it would be put on hold for the time being.

However, those in the know understand that when the Five Elders propose suspending the discussions, it usually means a tactful rejection. Anyone who stubbornly insists on a clear conclusion is simply being unreasonable.

Normally, all 49 kings attending this meeting would have some sense of honor, but among them was Cobra, who was willing to risk his life.

Cobra, shouting about the issue of justice, crashed headfirst into the roundtable room and died. The World Economic News was invited to give a detailed report, and the discussion on abolishing the Seven Warlords of the Sea was elevated to the point where a conclusion had to be reached.

Several high-ranking admirals in the Navy, led by Fujitora, also appropriately expressed their opinions. At this critical moment when the entire Navy was heading to the New World to mediate the war between the Four Emperors, the Five Elders were also afraid that ignoring the Navy's opinions at this time would lead to chaos on the spot.

In addition, over the years, members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea have either voluntarily withdrawn or been forced to leave for various reasons. The few remaining members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea are all outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, and most of the time they are not putting in any real effort. The Seven Warlords of the Sea system has long become a dead and useless system.

The five elders quickly resolved the issue and passed it in accordance with public opinion.

As the World Conference concluded, the order to abolish the Seven Warlords system and to reinstate the warrants for the arrest and capture of the Seven Warlords was announced.

The navy, returning from the latter half of the New World, directly surrounded Dressrosa and occupied it under the pretext of capturing Bucky.

The Navy knew, of course, that Bucky wasn't in Dressrosa; they were fully aware of his trip to Whole Cake Island to pick up bargains.

But the Navy knew better than anyone that Dressrosa was actually Robert's territory. Although he had never admitted to owning it, the whole world knew it was just a fig leaf.

If the Navy couldn't stop Robert from becoming one of the Four Emperors, then at least they should take over Fishman Island and Dressrosa, Robert's two core territories, to give him a real taste of his own medicine.

To this day, only three pirates—Hawkeye, Boa Hancock, and Buggy—remain in the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Kuma was rescued by the Revolutionary Army. Although he was not explicitly removed from the World Government's list, it can be considered as if he had automatically withdrawn.

The moment Law announced his joining Robert's Raibu, his title of Shichibukai was revoked by the Navy.

Now that the Navy is making a large-scale capture of Bucky, it's only natural that Hawkeye and Empress should be treated equally.

On Kuraigana Island, where Hawkeye was located, things were in turmoil, and Princess Perona was angrily berating the Navy.

Due to Robert's intervention, Blackbeard is not currently making a grand show of becoming king in the New World, but is instead hiding in the shadows and accumulating power.

Therefore, Blackbeard did not use Absalom as bait to lure Gecko Moria into becoming his subordinate, and Moria continued to hide and accumulate his zombie army.

Since Moria didn't show up, Perona naturally didn't leave Klaigana Island.

"We didn't do anything, why is the Navy arresting us?!"

Hawkeye calmly tidied his things: "None of it matters anymore, I don't care about my status as a Shichibukai anyway."

Perona looked reluctantly at the castle where she had lived for two years: "Will we be able to come back in the future?"

Hawkeye didn't give a direct answer: "Just think of it as going out for a walk to clear your head."

A strong wind blew open the windows of the ancient castle, and yellow sand rushed in, gathering into a silhouette:

"How was it, Mihawk? Was my information accurate enough?"
