One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

"Robert! Wano Country is in your hands!"

Robert grabbed Luffy's arm and said, "I don't want Wano Country. Taking back the territory that my father used to have is enough. I don't really care how much territory I occupy. Wano Country can be left to the Revolutionary Army to handle."

"As for you and my brother, you only mentioned going to sea, but have you decided where you want to go?"

Luffy looked at his navigator, and Nami raised the New World Compass on her wrist:

"Starting from Wano Country, the compass recorded three new directions: southeast, due east, and northeast."

"If you want to compete for the One Piece, you should naturally head northeast, since that's where the Grand Line ends."

Luffy clapped his hands: "It's decided! Let's head northeast!"

Robert shook his head and said, "That's exactly how I tricked Kidd into heading northeast. There are four road signs in the history, and we've only found three of them so far."

"What good is reaching Water Star Island if we don't have the last piece of the puzzle?"

"After Roger found One Piece, he came to see my master and told him that One Piece was actually buried below the sea surface, and it would be impossible to find it without clear coordinates."

“Kidd has already headed to the Northeast. I don’t recommend you follow him around like dirt. Instead, I suggest you head to the Southeast.”

Although Luffy seemed a bit silly, the Viscount possessed an unusually keen insight: "What's in the southeast?"

Robert made no attempt to hide anything: "If you head southeast from Wano Country, the next island you'll encounter is called Eghardt, where the world's strongest scientist lives!"

Robin and Franky exclaimed in unison, "Vegapunk!"

Franky's voice trembled slightly: "Please, you absolutely must go to Eghelm! I've been dreaming of seeing Dr. Vegapunk!"

Robin also said to Luffy seriously, "I also suggest we go there. Dr. Vegapunk's research covers almost all known scientific categories in the world, which must include some of the content of the Void Century!"

Luffy ignored Franky and Robin, his gaze remaining fixed on Robert.

Do you want me to go to Egerhead?

Robert nodded seriously and said, "Yes, although Dr. Vegapunk has been conducting scientific research with the support of the World Government all these years, his ultimate goal is still to use technology to make the world a better place."

"But the World Government keeps pressuring him to develop powerful weapons, while the doctor keeps delaying and shirking his work."

"At this World Conference, I received definitive information that the World Government has made a firm decision to execute Dr. Vegapunk."

"I hope you can help me rescue this scientist who can change the world!"

Luffy nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!"

Robert's expression was grave: "This trip to Eghard is destined to be a tough battle, so don't send your ordinary pirates."

Luffy nodded: "And you, will you be coming with us?"

Robert shook his head: "Dr. Vegapunk's research is too sensitive, and my current identity is also too sensitive."

"The World Government would rather kill Dr. Vegapunk than let him escape its control."

“If I show any sign of wanting to make contact with him, the World Government will do everything in its power to stop me, even if it means destroying Egherd and all the islands around it.”

"Therefore, this operation should be like our joint effort to liberate Wano Country."

"You are in the light, I am in the dark!"

-----------------

In the calm zone of the park area, Amazon Lily has never been as lively as it is now.

In the land of women, where men are considered extremely rare, thousands upon thousands of these rare creatures suddenly flooded in.

These people include both marines and pirates, and they are fighting tooth and nail on Amazon Lily.

The pirate force is the Blackbeard Pirates, who have been out of the public eye for a long time. After a period of dormancy, they finally couldn't resist the urge to return to the sunlight.

First, they rushed to the end of the Grand Line, attempting to overtake others and find the One Piece first.

After a major battle with the Red-Haired Pirates, Blackbeard decisively chose a strategic retreat. His personal strength had indeed reached the level of a Yonko after obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Skunk Fruit, but his subordinates were really lackluster.

With the deaths of several key members, including Caterina Devon, San Juan Wolf, and Avaro Pizza, and the absence of Aokiji in this life, Blackbeard felt deeply that he was left to fend for himself.

So when news spread that the Seven Warlords system had been abolished after the World Government meeting, Blackbeard rushed to Amazon Lily immediately.

The Navy, which came to capture Boa Hancock, followed closely behind, and the two sides engaged in a fierce battle on Amazon Lily.

When Crocodile and Hawkeye arrived at Amazon Lily by boat, this was the chaotic scene they saw.

"It seems we're not the only ones who want to build a pirate crew composed of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

Chapter 11 Take Action!

When news of the abolition of the Seven Warlords of the Sea spread, Boa Hancock already guessed that the Navy would come to arrest her immediately.

She had also considered leaving on her own, since she was the only one who had joined the Seven Warlords of the Sea. As long as she made a high-profile appearance elsewhere, the Navy would most likely not take action against the others on the island.

However, Boa Hancock's biggest flaw was her indecisiveness. She felt that if she left, the danger would also go away, but she also felt that if the Navy attacked Amazon Lily, they wouldn't even be able to protect themselves.

This delay led to the attack by the Blackbeard Pirates.

Blackbeard fought a major battle with Shanks in the New World, and the low-level pirates he had painstakingly gathered suffered heavy losses. He was seething with hatred, but he could only retreat and lie low for the time being.

This retreat took him directly back to the Paradise area. The New World is the New World of the Four Emperors, and the newly crowned Four Emperor Robert and the veteran Four Emperor Shanks took turns serving him, making it impossible for Blackbeard to move an inch in the New World.

This action allowed him to arrive at Amazon Lily immediately after the World Government issued its announcement, even faster than the Navy that came to capture the Empress.

Fortunately, the Navy arrived quickly, almost at the same time as Blackbeard, greatly relieving the pressure on the Amazonian warriors who were struggling under Blackbeard's pressure.

In this capture of the Empress, the young hero of the Navy, Kobi, performed exceptionally well. While the other Navy personnel were still trembling in the dense forest on the outskirts, this little pink-haired girl had already rushed into the core area of ​​Amazon Lily.

If it were about capturing other pirates, Kobe probably wouldn't be this enthusiastic, but after all, the Empress has clearly stated that she has a deep relationship with Luffy. So Kobe, who has received a great favor from Luffy, can't just sit by and watch her fall into the hands of other marines. He vows to turn her into his own military merit!

However, sometimes rushing too fast is not good either, as he soon ran into Blackbeard's crew.

These people wouldn't waste words with Kobi; seeing him in his navy uniform, they immediately gave him a good beating.

Blackbeard picked up the blood-soaked Koby and said, "Hey, isn't this the Navy's new hero, Koby?"

"Your master Garp is a naval hero, and the disciple he taught is also a naval hero. Truly, a great teacher produces a great student."

Kobi struggled on his own, but Blackbeard wasn't going to let him get away with it. He punched him unconscious and handed him over to his men to guard.

The swift blade sliced ​​through the trees toward Blackbeard. Several ordinary pirates along the way only felt a gentle breeze brush past them. They looked down at their bodies but found nothing amiss. Then, their heads spun and fell to the ground.

Blackbeard was terrified. Although he was very strong, he was also extremely cowardly and would always choose to save his own life first in the face of any danger.

The sudden slash reminded him of an old friend, and he immediately shouted, "Hawkeye! Don't attack! We can talk about cooperation!"

But this suggestion was destined to go unanswered. The next second, a short figure emerged from the dense forest, wearing a white shirt and black shorts, with black wings on his back, vaguely resembling Hawkeye Mihawk.

He held a greatsword longer than himself, identical in design to Hawkeye's Black Blade Yoru, and slashed at Blackbeard without mercy.

Blackbeard breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the person who came was not Hawkeye. He then coated his body with Armament Haki to block the sword.

Although this little eagle-eyed boy looks like an underage elementary school student, his swordsmanship is surprisingly agile, especially his movement speed, which is so fast that even the eyes cannot catch it. Clearly, the wings on his back are not just for show, but can really provide an advantage for movement.

Even with his Observation Haki fully activated, Blackbeard could only barely manage to defend himself, growing increasingly alarmed with each blow.

Although the person who came was not Hawkeye Mihawk himself, this little guy was clearly related to him.

Blackbeard came to Amazon Lily to strengthen his crew, either to recruit Boa Hancock into his crew or to kill her and seize the Love-Love Fruit.

However, if a well-intentioned operation to strengthen one's forces ends up causing significant losses due to encountering inexplicable enemies like the Navy, then it would be a net loss.

Upon realizing this, Blackbeard immediately decided to end the battle quickly, activating his Dark-Dark Fruit ability to instantly envelop everything around him.

The members of the Blackbeard Pirates quickly rushed towards the castle inside Amazon Lily under the cover of darkness, while Hawkeye sensed the danger immediately and flapped his wings to retreat from the darkness.

Blackbeard showed no regret that Hawkeye had escaped his control range, and loudly issued the order: "The path ahead is open! Push in and fight in the streets!"

His men, as if injected with adrenaline, charged towards the Amazon Lily warriors, shouting wildly, while Blackbeard also rushed into the city.

Hawkeye didn't dare get too close, so he used his flying slashes from a distance to harass Blackbeard's advance.

Lieutenant General Fire Mountain, who had reunited with Kobi, was unaware that he had been captured. However, he saw through his binoculars that the walls of Kuja Castle had been breached and that Blackbeard's darkness was encroaching on the city's center.

"Stop fighting those minions! Let the Seraphim lead the charge! We can't let Blackbeard and the Empress join forces!"

The Navy didn't know Blackbeard's purpose, so they could only assume the worst: that these two great pirates had reached some kind of agreement and joined forces to deal with the Navy.

They only anticipated Amazon Lily as their enemy when they came, and the forces they brought were more than enough to deal with them. However, these marines were no match for Blackbeard. If Blackbeard and Boa Hancock joined forces again, it would be difficult for the marines who came this time to escape unscathed.

The navy received orders to advance in large numbers towards Kuja Castle, and soon approached the main city area.

Despite Hawkeye's constant harassment, Blackbeard had already reached the tallest building in Kuja Castle. The pirates who rushed over to clear the way for him had all been petrified on the spot by the power of the Love Love Fruit, including several important officers who had been following Blackbeard all along!

Blackbeard's body suddenly sank into the darkness beneath his feet. Hawkeye, who was flying in mid-air, instantly lost his target and landed solemnly on the top of a building that had not yet been invaded by darkness, vigilantly observing the battlefield.

Boa Hancock's face was so gloomy it could drip water. She kept activating her Devil Fruit power to petrify any enemy who dared to enter her range, whether they were pirates from the Blackbeard Pirates or newly arrived Marines.

A figure suddenly emerged from the darkness behind her, grinning as it reached out a large hand to grab the unsuspecting empress!

The nimble, air-piercing slash seemed to have been waiting in the path of this grab. Blackbeard had just tested Hawkeye's attack strength. Although resisting these slashes consumed a lot of stamina and Haki, it was not unacceptable.

He gritted his teeth and continued reaching out, prepared to take a severe beating if necessary to capture the Empress.

Suddenly, the Observation Haki issued a frantic warning, as if saying: Don't reach out! If this sword hits you, you'll definitely lose your outstretched arm!

Blackbeard, who valued his life above all else, retreated swiftly the moment he sensed danger. He not only refrained from reaching forward but also made a move to run away.

A cloud of yellow sand enveloped Nine Serpent City, and the real Hawkeye Mihawk emerged from the sand:

"You dodged quickly!"

The Empress only then realized that she had just escaped death, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Hawkeye and Crocodile stood side by side. Crocodile waved his hand impatiently at Blackbeard: "We're going to build a Yonko team. We didn't leave you a place. Get lost."

"Hancock, would you like to join us?"

Chapter 12 The hard currency in the pirate world is face.

Boa Hancock was just arrogant, not intellectually deficient.

It is highly likely that her arrogance was actually to complement her Devil Fruit ability, and was not something she was born with.

The prerequisite for the Love-Love Fruit to petrify enemies is that the enemy must first develop feelings of love for the fruit user. Luffy doesn't have those paid-to-unlock content about men and women in his mind, so he can't be petrified at all. Vice Admiral Momonga used a crippling method to wake up from his feelings of love, which also effectively helped him get rid of petrification.

With Boa Hancock's physical attributes, creating a unified image in terms of makeup, clothing, and personality would help her better win over her enemies.

If Blackbeard were classified according to the traditional D&D faction system, he would definitely be placed in the Chaotic Evil category.
