One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Peacock was overjoyed: "So, as long as we find this agent, we can find Robert De Niro!"

"Give me her photo!"

Hibari asked cautiously, "You've agreed to come with us to rescue Koby-senpai?"

Peacock said impatiently, "Give me the photo first. I'll check the database to see if that agent can actually contact Robert De Niro. If she can, then I might consider it."

“If he doesn’t go, I’m not going to die with you guys.”

Lark nodded repeatedly and carefully took out the photos he had prepared beforehand from his handbag.

In the photo, Alpha, with his flowing blue hair, looked utterly resentful. Peacock couldn't help but purse his lips: "The prodigal colonel truly lives up to his reputation; he's surrounded by beauties."

She stopped being polite with Bellemere and turned to ask Lieutenant General Tsuru for help in finding someone.

Hibari dared not press the matter further and turned to look at Bellemere.

Bellmare clenched his fist tightly: "Let's go, let's go to the G14 branch and find Major General Spring!"

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

Lieutenant General He sat behind his desk, holding the photo his granddaughter had just brought him, lost in thought.

Peacock said anxiously, "Please find out who this person is! She's the one who forged the identity documents for Robert De Niro. Once we find this agent, we can figure out what his purpose was in infiltrating the Navy."

General Tsuru's thoughts were interrupted, and he shook his head, saying, "No need to investigate, I know who this person is."

She chuckled self-deprecatingly: "The Navy is really riddled with holes. Even such an important place as the Headquarters Confidential Room has been infiltrated by CP agents, and this is even after a major purge when Robert escaped."

Vice Admiral Tsuru picked up the phone: "Go to the confidential room and bring that officer named Beta here. Go in person, don't give any notice, just arrest her directly. She is very likely a spy planted in the Navy by the CP department, and her strength is probably not weak."

The person on the other end of the phone answered "yes" without hesitation and then hung up. Lieutenant General Kong Quejianhe, with a serious expression, was unwilling to provoke her at this moment. Since he had already found the person he was looking for, he simply sat down on the sofa and waited.

Before long, Lieutenant General Peony personally escorted a blue-haired beauty into Lieutenant General Crane's office. The two were neatly dressed, and there was no indication that they had fought.

The blue-haired beauty entered calmly, smiled, and gave Lieutenant General Tsuru a slight bow, asking, "How did I expose myself?"

Lieutenant General Peony shrugged: "I just got to the confidential room and took two steps toward her before she surrendered."

Lieutenant General Tsuru nodded: "It's normal for a CP agent to be so vigilant. What's your real name?"

Alpha, completely unfazed, frankly stated: "Alpha belongs to CIPHER POL - AIGIS 8."

Vice Admiral Tsuru slammed his fist on the table: "Haven't you learned your lesson yet! Didn't we say that we would show no mercy if anyone dared to plant spies in the navy again?!"

Alpha chuckled and said, "Oh, don't be angry, Lieutenant General Tsuru. You're not really going to kill me."

"After the defection of Robert De Niro, we knew that a great rift had developed between us and the Navy, so we did not plant any more spies within the Navy."

"But I was sent here a long time ago, so it doesn't count as violating our agreement."

Lieutenant General Tsuru scoffed, "Has your CP department stooped so low as to play these word games?"

Alpha put on a pitiful look: "What else can I do? You've already found out, so I can only try to find loopholes in the agreement and hope that you will be lenient and let me off the hook."

Peacock, growing impatient, was about to ask about Robert when Lieutenant General Crane glared at her and continued asking at his own pace:

"You still have the nerve to mention Robert De Niro? Isn't that bastard one of your CP's planted agents in the Navy?"

Alpha said angrily, "He fooled us too. This bastard isn't one of ours. We were just using each other."

Lieutenant General Tsuru snorted coldly and said, "Since he lied to you too, fine, help us catch him, and I might consider letting you go."

Without the slightest hesitation, Alpha declared, "Deal!"

Chapter 10 has been discovered!

Seeing that Alpha agreed so readily, Lieutenant General Tsuru began to change the subject, asking about details such as how they first met.

Alpha didn't lie; it readily told the whole story.

Lieutenant General Tsuru asked what he wanted to know, and waved his hand to signal Lieutenant General Peony to take Alpha away and lock him up first.

The peacock, being somewhat perceptive, waited until Peony and her entourage left before asking:

"Why didn't you mention having her contact Robert? Didn't we agree to find a way to force him to rescue Koby?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru frowned as he looked at his granddaughter: "Why did you insist on sending him to save Kobi?"

Peacock's eyes darted around a bit: "Anyway, neither he nor Blackbeard are good people, let them fight like dogs, shall we?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru had no time to argue with her at this point: "There must be something seriously wrong with Robert De Niro's identity. He joined the Navy just a few days ago and immediately showed his talent. He even became a couple with York, Vegapunk's alter ego, after only meeting her."

"If what that Alpha just said is true, I even suspect that his chance encounter with this Alpha two years ago was premeditated."

Peacock frowned: "You mean he went to great lengths to use the CP department to forge his identity so that he could infiltrate the Navy, get close to Vegapunk's clone, and then kidnap her?"

Lieutenant General He used the opportunity of analyzing the situation with his granddaughter to clarify his own thoughts: "To analyze a person's purpose, don't look at what he did, but at what he ultimately gained."

"After he joined the Navy, he made many meritorious contributions. I suggested that he be transferred to my side after the recruit camp ended, but he insisted on joining Kizaru's scientific defense unit."

"Anyone should know that staying in the General Staff is far more promising than following a lazy general. Why would he risk losing more for a small gain?"

Peacock's breathing quickened: "Because he never intended to be a Marine for life! He just wanted to use Admiral Kizaru's connections to infiltrate Egerhard!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru's eyes gleamed: "Thinking back carefully, the first time he appeared in our sight was when he rescued civilians on Beehive Island."

Peacock recalled how the two of them first met and fought side by side, and felt a pang of emotion.

Lieutenant General Tsuru counted on his fingers: "There were two other important figures there at the time, namely Blackbeard and Law."

"The Rocky Harbor was hijacked by Robert De Niro, and he didn't come out to stop it immediately. Instead, he only showed up to protect the civilians after the Rocky Harbor landed on Beehive Island."

Peacock tried to help analyze, "After boarding the ship, Robert mainly targeted the nobles. Perhaps Robert doesn't like nobles very much?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru neither confirmed nor denied, but continued his reasoning: "After that, he went to the recruit camp, and was sent to Dressrosa for a mission upon graduation."

"At that time, Dressrosa was home to the Don Quixote family, Robert D. Nelo and his mistress Carina, his cronies Redfield, Raleigh D. Dida, and members of the Revolutionary Army."

Peacock was already struggling to keep up with Lieutenant General Crane's train of thought and could only listen to her talking to herself.

"A while ago in Egghead, it was his first appearance since he defected from the Navy. Also appearing on Egghead Island were the Straw Hat Luffy crew, Robert D. Neel, and the Giant Warrior Pirates."

Peacock then noticed the problem: "Robert and Law are both members of the Thunder Department, so how come that bastard Robert always has Thunder Department involvement wherever he goes?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru's gaze grew increasingly bright: "That's it! Robert De Niro accomplished these major feats all with the men of the Thunder Department!"

"When several cadres from the mine department do not appear, his behavior becomes very low-key and even mediocre!"

Peacock's eyes widened: "You're not saying that bastard is actually from the Thunder Department, are you?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru's breathing quickened: "It might not be that simple. Robert faked his death during the Marineford War and reappeared in Dressrosa."

"Before boarding the Rocky Harbor, Luo raided the Bucky Express's headquarters and stole the treasure pointer that was said to have been left by Captain John."

"There was another person who acted alongside Luo at the time. According to intelligence gathered afterward, that person's special abilities were flight and telekinesis!"

Peacock asked doubtfully, "You wouldn't be saying that Robert was the one who went with Luo to steal the treasure pointer back then, would you?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru felt he was about to uncover the truth: "Bucky the Clown claims he injured Law and killed the expert who went with Law, but according to our data, even if Buggy fought Law one-on-one, he might not be a match for him!"

"The companions Luo brought along couldn't be much weaker than me, could they?"

Peacock said, "Unless they're putting on an act!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru clapped his hands: "That's right! It's all acting!"

"Without the treasure pointer obtained from Buggy the Clown, even if Law hijacked the Rocky Harbor, it would have been impossible to attract so many pirates to Beehive Island."

"That means Law won't be able to take advantage of the chaos to hunt down the hearts of hundreds of pirates and hand them over to the Navy in exchange for a position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"Bucky the Clown carried this treasure pointer with him throughout the Marineford War. This footage was clearly captured in both newspapers and live broadcasts at the time. The World Economic News even published a column comparing those photos."

"Captain John's treasure is far too sensitive. Once someone discovers that Bucky has the treasure pointer, even if Bucky's Delivery doubles in size, it won't be able to withstand the endless stream of challenges coming to our door!"

"So Law needs this Log Pose to help him gather the pirates, and Buggy also needs a suitable reason to let everyone know that the Log Pose is no longer in his possession!"

"Both sides had planned this all along; they agreed to put on this show!"

Peacock clapped his hands and said, "Since it's just acting, Bucky the Clown certainly won't really kill that flying guy!"

Lieutenant General Tsuru said with certainty, "Therefore, I reasonably suspect that the person who went to Kalai Bali with Luo was Robert De Niro!"

Peacock was stunned by Lieutenant General Crane's reasoning: "If that's the case, Robert De Niro's relationship with that Surgeon of Death must be more than just a simple matter!"

But she was quickly puzzled again: "But I've never heard of such a skilled fighter in the Heart Pirates?"

"And now Robert has joined Robert D. Neru's Thunder Division with all his men. Why is Robert nowhere to be seen in the Thunder Division?"

Lieutenant General Tsuru had only been speculating about the relationship between Robert De Niro and Law, but after Peacock's reminder, her eyes suddenly widened!

"Yes, Robert De Niro has already defected from the Navy. How could he possibly escape the double manhunt of the Navy and CP with Vegapunk's clone?"

"Unless he is protected by a very powerful force, such as the Rai clan."

"But with his strength, how could he not have distinguished himself in the Thunder Department?"

"unless..."

"He has another identity!"

Chapter 11 Looking my eyes

Robert stared at the Den Den Mushi that had been ringing for a while, unsure whether to answer it.

After thinking for a long time, he sighed and picked up the Den Den Mushi: "Long time no see, old man."

The phone call came from the hearty laughter of former Fleet Admiral Sengoku. Since resigning from his position, although his hair had turned completely white, his mood had been getting better and better.

"Well, you little brat, you caused a huge mess and ran away, and haven't contacted your teacher for so long?"

Robert did learn a lot from Sengoku during his time at the naval training camp, including the Six Styles of the Navy and the application of Haki. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him his teacher.

"Given my current situation, how could I possibly contact you first..."

Sengoku said casually, "Yes, you are a newly crowned Yonko, how can you call me, a naval officer, 'teacher'?"

Robert quickly laughed and said, "Look at what you're saying, I'm one of the Four Emperors..."

He shut his mouth abruptly after saying only half a sentence, followed by a bitter laugh.

Lieutenant General Tsuru's voice came from the other end of the phone: "You really are Robert. When I first guessed it, I even thought I was crazy. I never expected..."

Robert sighed, "As expected of you, Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Navy's strategist. I knew this wouldn't stay hidden from you for long."
