One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

"Everyone, there's no future in being a pirate. We must become people who can wield power!"

"Therefore! I have now decided to wage a full-scale war against the World Government, not the kind of war where we just shout slogans and then continue to maintain a tacit understanding with the Navy and not interfere with each other!"

"It's a real war, a war where we fight our way to Mary Geoise, drag the Celestial Dragons off that damn Empty Throne, and sit on it ourselves!"

"Who's in favor! Who's opposed!"

While everyone was still in a daze, the little people of the Dongtata tribe shouted, "Yes! Yes!"

The Shandians of the Sky Island were the next to chime in, but they were a step behind because they weren't as simple-minded as the Tontatta tribe.

Reminded by these two groups, Baby-5 also realized what was happening, and jumped up from her seat with excitement, so excited that she was almost ready to pull out her submachine gun and fire a burst at the ceiling to add to the excitement.

Robert laughed heartily and raised his hands in agreement. Although Caesar Courland was trembling with fear when he first heard Robert's raucous words, for some reason his body honestly raised his hands, as if in agreement or surrender.

Ace's breathing quickened. His childhood dream was to become the Pirate King and prove that he could do what his bastard father, who abandoned his wife and children, could do.

But now Robert has given him a new option: Pirate King is nothing, if you're going to be one, be the King of the World!

Ace glanced at the old brothers who had followed the Whitebeard Pirates, then stood up and raised his right fist.

Marco sighed. It wasn't that he disagreed, but he knew that this path would be extremely difficult and would likely result in the sacrifice of many of his old comrades.

However, after only a moment's thought, he stood up. When his father was still alive, they had never actively caused trouble for the World Government, but the Navy still captured Ace. Their only goal was to wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates.

Since it has been proven that compromise is not the way forward, it is better to confront the world government head-on!

The old squad leaders of the White Group had the same idea: if they were to stick their necks out, they would be killed anyway, so why not fight their way out with their own hands?

Robert and everyone else stood up and said in a solemn tone, "Everyone knows best who I am. If you have any objections, raise them now. I will absolutely not hold anyone accountable for this."

"We're doing a business that could cost us our lives. Once we start, there's no turning back. If we don't voice our opposition now, then until we overthrow the World Government or are completely wiped out by it, there won't be room for a second voice!"

No one in the meeting room spoke; they all looked at Robert with determined eyes.

Robert nodded in satisfaction: "I will distribute everyone's tasks to you after the meeting."

"For a better future!"

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

After leaving Wano Country, Luffy and his crew headed straight for Egerges. With Nami, a genius navigator, leading the way, and the Thousand Sunny, a top-tier fast ship, the Straw Hat Pirates, with their clear goal, arrived at their destination in just over a day.

From a distance, Egherd looks like a giant boiled egg, with the inverted eggshell above the clouds being both cute and futuristic.

Luffy shouted, "Is that the super scientist's place that Robert mentioned? It doesn't look any different!"

Nami's eyes lit up: "Robert said there's a machine on the island that can synthesize diamonds! Just put in some worthless stones, and you can synthesize all sorts of precious jewels without limit!"

"Luffy! We're pirates! We've never done anything that pirates are supposed to do since we set sail!"

"Robert said our mission this time is to loot openly, make the scene as chaotic as possible, and create an opportunity for Dr. Vegapunk to escape!"

"So you guys better pull yourselves together! Get back all the precious treasures on the island, especially that diamond-making machine!"

Chopper somehow produced an eyepatch and covered his left eye, then, feigning a fierce expression, declared, "We're evil!"

Zoro wiped the Enma he had just obtained from Wano Country: "You guys go ahead with the robbery. I just hope Robert wasn't lying to me, and that there really is a great swordsman among the Five Elders!"

The Straw Hat Pirates were full of fighting spirit. Franky turned on the jet propulsion of the Thousand Sunny, propelling the ship directly off the sea surface and flying through the outer perimeter of Eghardt like a missile.

Before the countless giant sea kings could react, the Thousand Sunny had already flown over their heads and directly entered the inner shore of Egghead Island.

At this point, Egerhard is no longer under Vegapunk's control as in the original story. Since the World Government broke ties with him and forced him to build a giant boiler capable of producing the Mother Spark, they have sent the CP department to completely take over the island.

Dr. Vegapunk and his five clones are now under constant surveillance by CP agents, and they cannot even leave their sight while eating or sleeping.

In this way, the scene where Lilith picks up Luffy and his crew in a submarine will naturally not happen.

Fortunately, Robert had already had York print out all the security measures for Egghead Island and give them to Nami, so they easily bypassed the outer defenses and rushed directly into the core area of ​​Egghead.

Morgans had already sent word that, because the World Government's attention had been entirely focused on Robert, they had no idea that Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, two of the Four Emperors, would be defeated by someone else.

When news of the Straw Hat crew joining forces with Ace and Law of the Raibu clan and Sabo, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, reached the World Government and the Navy, neither was prepared.

It took them only half a month to defeat the two Yonko. The world was not prepared for this major change in the new world, so the new bounties for these participants have not yet been determined.

However, Morgans has privately revealed to Robert that Luffy, Ace, Law, and Kid are likely to have a uniform bounty of 30 billion Berries.

The bounties of other members who participated in the battle and defeated key members of the Beasts Pirates also increased.

These young pirates with bounties reaching 30 billion can already be called near-Emperors; all they lack is a stable territory.

The Straw Hat Pirates, now considered a near-Emperor of the Sea, have launched a surprise attack on the World Government's scientific research facility, leaving all the CP agents on the island completely bewildered.

Pirates are unruly, and they shouldn't surprise government agents with anything they do at any time.

But the problem now is that Luffy and his crew arrived at just the right time!

Just half an hour ago, Admiral Kizaru's flagship had just entered the port and stopped!

These agents, who are always scheming behind the scenes, couldn't help but think twice. The location of Eigerd is a secret of the World Government!

Could it be that the Straw Hat crew specifically followed Kizaru's ship to find him?

Chapter 17 Enjoy Yourself, Bro! Strike!

The most pirate-like thing Luffy and his crew ever did was to secretly take some odds and ends of gold items from Skypiea and run away, thinking that taking things without asking was robbery.

Before going ashore, a group of people arrogantly devised a meticulous plan:

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji form a sabotage team responsible for demolishing buildings on the island to distract the security team.

Nami, Robin, and Jinbe form a raiding group responsible for robbing and transporting high-value targets on the island.

Usopp, Chopper, and Brook form a logistics support team. They first occupy high ground to provide real-time command and control over the entire island. Then, Usopp's long-range attack capabilities are used to support the other two teams. If anyone is injured, Chopper can provide rapid first aid.

Finally, there was Frankie's evacuation team. He was stationed on the Thousand Sunny, ready to quickly steer the ship to pick up everyone and escape once the heist was complete.

The plan is perfect; the people who execute it are imperfect.

The first to set off was the sabotage team, which was originally the most high-profile in the plan. Their target was the research building at the very center of the island. They needed to storm in and cause damage to attract enough firepower.

However, not long after the three set off, only Sanji remained on the way to the research building.

Luffy was launched into the air and disappeared without a trace. When he realized that Sanji and Zoro were gone, he wanted to turn back to look for his two companions, but his attention was suddenly drawn to the fully automatic cooking machine that could produce food.

Zoro shouted "Don't separate!" and chased after Luffy in the direction he disappeared, but soon got lost on the future island filled with virtual projections.

Sanji was already used to these unreliable companions, and he was also used to sabotaging key facilities by himself to help the team. He wasn't worried about the two people's safety at all, and just resolutely headed towards the center of the island.

After disembarking at the beach, Nami and her two companions hid for a while. They didn't see any disturbances on the island, but patrol boats were frequently seen sailing by on the sea. After all, they had been too conspicuous when they broke through the island's outer defense zone.

Nami and Robin are both veterans of the Straw Hat crew, and they know Luffy and his crew too well. They know that they must have failed to complete their mission due to some unreliable reasons.

But waiting on the shore wasn't going to work, so Nami gave the order, and the three of them, without waiting for Luffy and the others to draw their attention, set up some small traps and sneaked into the island.

It was Usopp and his two companions who first achieved their goal. Franky used the Thousand Sunny's cola jet propulsion system to launch them several hundred meters into the air. The three then activated the cola-powered flying devices on their backs to climb a second time, eventually boarding a flying vehicle that was transporting supplies to the research layer in the clouds.

After Usopp landed on the research layer high in the clouds, he quickly began monitoring the entire island through his telescope.

Luffy had already eaten himself into a ball, while Zoro was still spinning in various virtual projections, but Sanji was nowhere to be seen.

They knew Luffy and Zoro quite well, so this kind of behavior was perfectly normal. What made Usopp's eyes widen in fury was a tall figure strolling towards Luffy.

Wearing a yellow striped suit and a cloak with the word "Justice" written on the back, who else could it be but Kizaru, one of the three admirals of the Navy!

Usopp was no longer the rookie pirate he was two years ago, who had just set sail and didn't know anyone. The moment he saw Kizaru, he realized that something big was about to happen.

Robert only said that the island was home to various agents from CP1 to CP9, and even the mysterious CP0, who were of a higher rank than them. He didn't say that a Marine Admiral would appear!

Just as Luffy was about to have a surprise encounter with Kizaru, Usopp gritted his teeth, raised his giant slingshot, and fired the ultimate attack, Green Star: Impact Wolf Grass, at a transport ship traveling between the ground and the clouds.

The dense vegetation transformed into a giant wolf in the air, instantly entangled the transport ship's propeller blades, and the entire ship spun and plummeted towards the island below, eventually exploding into a ball of fire.

The massive explosion certainly served as a reminder to Luffy and his crew, but it also served as a reminder to Kizaru.

Kizaru chuckled and raised his head, his gaze piercing through thousands of meters to Usopp and the others in the clouds.

Usopp stared at Kizaru through his binoculars, and instantly trembled like a leaf.

Kizaru's body turned into specks of light, and even if Usopp guessed with his nose, he could tell that Kizaru was coming for him!

Just as he was in despair, Luffy's roar echoed throughout the island: "I'm full!"

Kizaru's attention was quickly drawn to Luffy. Regardless of who had attacked the transport ship, they were certainly not as valuable as Luffy, a potential Yonko. He quickly turned and rushed towards Luffy.

Zoro was also drawn to the explosion. He activated his Observation Haki, no longer affected by the surrounding virtual projections, and quickly rushed towards the direction where the transport ship had crashed.

In his simple understanding, all the destruction on the island was caused by his companions, and he believed that as long as he went to the place where the explosion occurred, he would be able to reunite with them.

He shared the same idea with another group of people; the CP0 decapitation team, led by Rob Lucci, was advancing towards the research building where Vegapunk was located.

Their orders were to execute Vegapunk and all his clones. This task needed to be carried out as discreetly as possible, so as not to alert Vegapunk and his crew and cause any trouble by taking advantage of their familiarity with the island's various technological products.

But before they could even enter the research building, a transport ship was shot down from mid-air. Lucci and his team quickly realized that their operation had been exposed!

Stu, dressed in a suit, suggested in a serious tone, "Let's finish this quickly. I just received news that Luffy and his crew have broken into Egerhead, probably also after Vegapunk."

"We must deal with Vegapunk and his clones before they find him, otherwise the mission will be very difficult to complete if we get entangled with this powerful group of pirates."

Rob Lucci's usually expressionless face suddenly contorted with a hint of ferocity, and his gaze toward Stussy turned hostile: "You think they can stop me?"

Stussy stated matter-of-factly, "The Straw Hat crew just participated in defeating the combination of the Four Emperors Kaido and Charlotte Linlin. Although they have not yet officially ascended to the position of Four Emperors, they have basically met all the prerequisites for becoming one."

"Shouldn't we be on high alert if a team of near-Emperors arrives in Eghard at this time?"

Rob Lucci was enveloped in a cloud of smoke unique to the awakening of Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

"The Four Emperors?"

"Now we can finally have some fun!"

Chapter 18: Alt Account Online!

Although he still uttered his famous "enjoy yourself" statement, Rob Lucci is destined to miss out on the systematic path of first letting the Four Emperors enjoy themselves, then letting their lieutenants enjoy themselves, and finally letting their pets enjoy themselves.

Because he didn't encounter Luffy, but instead ran into Zoro, who was following the explosion, at the site of the crashed transport ship.

When enemies meet, their eyes are sharpest. Rob Lucci didn't take Zoro seriously at all. At this time, the latest bounty poster for the Onigashima battle hadn't been released yet. In his eyes, Zoro was still a piece of trash with a bounty of only 320 million.

But once they started fighting, Rob Lucci was completely demoralized and even began to doubt whether he had actually grown in the past two years.

Among pirates with a bounty below one billion, Zoro is simply too strong.
