One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Trebol is actually extremely small in stature, hiding in a tall figure deliberately disguised by slime, often making it impossible for opponents to hit his real body. They may even mistakenly believe that his Devil Fruit ability is a special Paramecia type like Katakuri's, and that he also has the ability to simulate elemental transformation.

But Prince was, after all, a Rear Admiral in the Navy. He knew this prisoner well, having been defeated and imprisoned in Impel Down. He knew the tricks of this body. The clay spikes were extremely dense and launched an indiscriminate attack on his thin body and the slime on the outside.

Robert is now becoming increasingly adept at manipulating his enemies' bodies. As his control over the laws of lightning increases, although he suffers from weaknesses such as emotional weakness, his epiphany in electromagnetic fields is truly top-notch.

He originally used electromagnetic manipulation to control the enemy, employing the same theory as telekinesis, which directly controlled the electrons in the controlled person's body, thereby interfering with the macroscopic world from the microscopic level to achieve the effect of controlling the enemy's entire body.

However, doing so is too exhausting. If the enemy is strong enough, they might only be caught off guard by Robert's sudden interference for a moment, and then they would be unable to achieve anything again because they would be on guard.

Therefore, Robert has long since upgraded his methods of controlling living, self-aware enemies. He no longer bothers to manipulate the vast number of electrons in their bodies, but instead simply controls some free electrons from the surrounding environment to enter the enemy's body.

These free electrons, under Robert's precise control, interfere with the nerve signals transmitted from the brain, essentially severing the connection between the body and the brain, easily creating the effect of high-level paraplegia.

Moreover, unless the opponent possesses Conqueror's Haki, a technique that can dispel other people's Devil Fruit abilities, this control effect can even control the enemy to death!

Torrebol is in this situation now. He suddenly finds himself unable to move and can only watch helplessly as the enemy transforms into a haystack of spikes that riddles his body with holes.

Blood instantly stained the slime Trebol used to construct his body. The attack power of a Marine Rear Admiral was something that a pirate worth less than 100 million could not withstand.

Caribou was terrified. The moment Prince pierced Torebol's body, he began to flee from the huge swamp he had created, reaching the edge of the forest in less than a second.

Robert and the others had just come out of that forest, but Caribou was going the opposite way, planning to sneak into the forest. With his Swamp-Swamp Fruit ability, he could perfectly hide himself under any big tree.

But just as he was about to slip into the dense forest, he felt as if he had crashed into a wall, and his body was instantly ejected from the swampy underground.

Robert had somehow blocked his escape route and was watching him with a smile.

Caribou was startled and was about to disappear into the mud again to escape in another direction when he saw Robert's figure go limp, followed by a sharp pain in his lower back.

Robert appeared behind Caribou the instant he disappeared, and his kick, imbued with Armament Haki, rendered Caribou's elemental transformation ineffective, sending him flying into the sky!

Caribou then found himself surrounded by two Marines who were using Moonwalk. Prince and Peacock each punched him until he was completely knocked unconscious.

The swamp on the ground turned back into soft sand because Carib lost consciousness. His body fell to the ground like a rag doll, and Prince and Peacock also landed on the ground.

What should be done with these people?

Prince had already subconsciously started asking Robert's opinion first. Robert pulled out three pairs of Seastone handcuffs from somewhere: "Arrest them. The Navy defeated the pirates, there's no reason for them to be let go."

Prince and Peacock were both surprised to see Robert casually holding the sea stone handcuffs.

They weren't even puzzled as to how Robert conjured three pairs of handcuffs out of thin air; instead, they were shocked that Robert, despite being a Devil Fruit user, acted so nonchalantly when handling Seastone.

Robert asked with a puzzled expression, "What? Weren't you training with Instructor Zephyr in the recruit camp?"

"I was severely disciplined by him when I was in the recruit camp. As a Devil Fruit user, I need to train my body so that I can protect myself if I am suddenly controlled by Seastone."

Prince and Peacock exchanged a slightly unnatural look. They had never been to the recruit camp. As members of the Navy, they had one-on-one recruit instructors.

They had certainly heard of this theory, but they couldn't handle Seastone as easily as Robert did, seemingly unaffected.

Prince tried to act nonchalantly, took the handcuffs and handcuffed Trebol, Caribou, and Machbais, the three Devil Fruit users. Then he manipulated the clay soldiers to carry all four pirates and head towards the small boat guarded by Helmeppo on the beach.

After leaving the pirates on the deck and using clay to restrain all their joints, Hibari finally arrived. Judging from the stains on her body, she must have been in a fight, but since she didn't call for help through the intercom, it means the enemy she encountered wasn't strong.

Lark frowned: "Aren't you coming with us?"

Robert nodded: "You guys take Coby and hurry up, I have other tasks to do."

Peacock knew this was just an excuse, but Prince and the others were unaware of Robert's true identity.

"Don't worry, I will report the truth to the new commander. Whether you rescued Koby or captured these four guys, it will all be your achievement."

Robert paid no attention to the credit Prince mentioned and was about to wave his hand in refusal when he suddenly and astutely grasped a key word:

"New commander, what new commander are you referring to?"

Hibari explained to him, "He's the new commander of our Sharp Blade Squad. Weren't you also assigned to our Sharp Blade Squad by Marshal Sengoku and the others?"

Peacock quickly came to his rescue: "Robert is only temporarily involved in this operation; he's not one of our Sharp Blade Squad."

"So he didn't know that our Sharp Blade Squad had a new commander."

"Former Marine Admiral—Akainu!"

Chapter 22 You're a Rapper Too

The Sunny traced a parabola as it plummeted straight down into the lower snowfields of Elbaf.

Franky yelled, "Sanji! Raise the foresail! Raise it only a little, try to get the bow up!"

Raising the sails and tilting the bow is a very risky maneuver. If you're not careful, the whole ship will start to spin because the sails are not being supported evenly in mid-air, and then it will be all over.

But now that the ship has been destroyed and everyone is dead, Franky has no choice but to take a gamble.

Sanji is basically the most sane member of the Straw Hat crew, with extremely high execution ability. The moment he heard Franky's order, he used Moonwalk to jump onto the mainmast.

The Sunny is a two-masted ship, and the foresail is the mainsail.

Sanji didn't simply lower the mainsail completely. Instead, he grabbed one corner with both hands and manually increased the mainsail's wind-facing area, adjusting the ship's fragile balance through subtle movements.

Luffy stood on the bow of the ship, staring intently down below. Instead of hindering Sanji and Franky, he quietly carried out his own plan.

Fortunately, Franky's plan succeeded. With Sanji's intervention, the Sunny adjusted its falling posture in mid-air, landing on the ground at a 45-degree angle.

Franky stared intently at the stern, calculating the distance to the point of impact.

Neither Luffy nor Sanji spoke. The Straw Hat crew's greatest strength is their trust in their comrades. Since Franky, as the shipwright, is still working hard, even if others have other ideas, they will wait for their comrades to finish trying before taking action.

The ship was falling rapidly, and the snow-capped mountains at the bottom of Elbaf were already clearly visible. Fine beads of sweat were already seeping from Sanji's forehead.

Franky yelled, "Hold on tight!"

Luffy and Sanji immediately grabbed onto something stable nearby, while Franky gripped the rudder tightly and activated the cola jet device at the stern without hesitation.

A powerful gust of air shot out from the jet at the stern, counteracting the ship's descent speed. The Sunshine's descent rapidly slowed, and it finally stopped falling when it was only a dozen meters away from a mountain peak. Using the last bit of power from the Coke Cannon, it flew diagonally forward.

This was the best Frankie could do, minimizing the impact of the Sunny's fall from several thousand meters. While it still couldn't change its fate of crashing, at least it wouldn't be smashed to pieces, preserving some possibility of repair.

Franky had done all he could. Luffy, his face resolute, began to fulfill his duties as captain.

"Frankie, well done! Leave the rest to me!"

Franky and Sanji instantly guessed what Luffy was going to do, and without him even having to tell them, they clung tightly to the ship.

Luffy's body rapidly grew larger, and white smoke began to drift out. The drumbeats, coming from nowhere, gradually grew louder and became clearly audible.

Nika, the sun god, leaped from the bow of the Sunshine with a loud laugh, assimilating everything around him into a soft, bouncy rubber material just before it crashed into the ground.

The soft Sunshine landed on the equally soft ground, and what should have been a tragic scene even became somewhat cute. It bounced gently twice and finally came to a stop.

Luffy laughed heartily. At this moment, no one would think he was being foolish. As a captain, being able to save his ship from a near-destruction crisis made him a truly reassuring captain.

Franky and Sanji lay on the deck, laughing heartily as they celebrated their survival.

"What kind of ability is this? It's quite interesting."

A deafening, thunderous sound immediately jolted the group, who had just relaxed, back to alertness.

The group immediately looked in the direction of the sound, their eyes widening in disbelief.

They had seen giants before; the Giant Warrior Pirates were all several times the size of humans. As the captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates, Dorry and Brogy were over twenty meters tall.

But the giant who asked the question was so tall that he was like a mountain. Even when he was sitting on the ground, his height was only half the height of his body, which was taller than that of the standing Dorry. If he were to stand up, his height would probably reach sixty or seventy meters!

Even after Luffy transforms into Nikka, his size increases many times over, but compared to this giant, he is still just a tiny little thing that can be grabbed in one hand.

Luffy floated in mid-air. After the crisis passed, he regained his fearless and carefree nature, looking at the giant in front of him with excitement: "Who are you? How come you are so big?"

The giant let out a flippant laugh: "Me? You'd be terrified if I told you!"

"I am the sun god!"

After he finished speaking, the scene fell silent. Franky and Sanji looked at each other in bewilderment. Back on Onigashima, Luffy had awakened his Nikka form, and Kaido had exclaimed in surprise during the battle.

Later, during their casual conversations after the battle, Law, Sabo, and Robin, who were all well-informed, exchanged some rumors about the sun god Nika. By piecing them together, they basically understood the details of Luffy's current state.

Now that the giant in front of him claims to be the sun god, what is Luffy then?

Is the large penis stretched out?

The giant before him was none other than Loki, the giant prince imprisoned in Elbafgen. Seeing the few tiny figures who had just landed in front of him speechless with fear at his name, Loki seemed quite pleased.

"I've answered your questions, now it's your turn to answer mine, right?"

"What was that ability that turned the ground into bouncing things? Was it the power of some kind of Devil Fruit?"

Luffy's tone softened, tinged with uncertainty as he said, "This is also... the power of the Sun God Nika..."

The scene was awkward; the imposter had met the real deal, and the two, one big and one small, stared at each other in bewilderment.

Luffy was genuinely intimidated by Loki. After all, his knowledge of Loki's true identity was based on hearsay. Now, he had encountered a guy from the legendary Elbaf who claimed to be the sun god, but Loki had only developed the Nika form. Perhaps this guy was the real Nika.

All mythical beasts have a prototype. It is said that all mythical beasts once truly existed in ancient times. Who can guarantee that the sun god Nika in Elbaf has not survived to this day?

Loki, however, knew his true identity. He liked to call himself the sun god because there was a legend of the sun god in Elbaf for generations, and the Rocks gang that he dreamed of joining when he was a child also claimed to be looking for the sun god Nika as a partner.

Loki believed from the bottom of his heart that as long as he became the sun god, he would be accepted by Rocks, and this had almost become a source of anxiety for him.

I never expected to actually encounter someone who has actually eaten the Nika form of the Devil Fruit. This collapse of faith is no less than when Sanji encountered Absalom who ate the Clear-Clear Fruit!

Chapter 23 I'll save your grandpa!

Robert knew that his appearance had completely changed the plot; Aokiji had taken the position of Fleet Admiral, while Akainu Sakazuki was left to wander the world.

Given Akainu's personality and his sense of justice, it's highly unlikely he would choose to infiltrate the Blackbeard Pirates as an undercover agent. Therefore, for Robert, this is a positive development that weakens both of his enemies.

But he really didn't expect that Akainu would become the new leader of the Blade Squad!

To be honest, this makes sense. Although the Blade Squad is a useless concept, it was originally created with good intentions. It both solved the problem of the laxity and lack of discipline among those with connections in the military and severed ties with them. If they really caused trouble, the Navy could quickly cut ties with them.

Therefore, the hard requirement for joining the Blade Squad is that they must have submitted their resignation. Although submitting the resignation is as good as not submitting it, the Blade Squad members still enjoy the same officer benefits and the Navy will still assign them missions.

However, if they do anything that cannot be done in the name of the Navy, this resignation, which was submitted long ago, will become the best excuse for the Navy to distance itself from the matter.

The highest-ranking member of the original Blade Squad was former Marine Rear Admiral X Drake. He resigned most thoroughly, essentially becoming a pirate by defecting from the Marines. Two years ago, he even joined Robert, Luffy, and others as a Supernova.

After he left the Navy, Prince, Peacock, and the others were promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral. So although everyone was a Rear Admiral, X Drake was always the captain and commander-in-chief of the Blade Squad.

But now Akainu has appeared. His identity perfectly matches the requirements of the Blade Squad. He was originally a naval admiral who was determined to uphold justice. He submitted his resignation for reasons that did not warrant a complete breakdown in relations, and is now continuing to practice the ideals of justice in his own way in the New World.

Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku certainly met the recruitment criteria for the Blade Squad, but he was too old. After listening to Robert's suggestion, he immediately had a bright idea and took the advice to contact Akainu, asking if he would be willing to command this elite squad.

Akainu still has a deep bond with the Navy, and since his adjutant had just been killed by Robert, he was short-handed. Hearing that the Navy could continue to uphold justice in this way, he immediately agreed.
