One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

The two waited for orders in Elbaf until Luffy landed, and Robert also appeared on Onigashima to fight Blackbeard and Akainu.

Therefore, Shamrock had already been carrying out the plan against Elbaf, and now that he has been brought back, he deserves a large part of the credit for the plan's success.

If the plan fails, it will greatly reduce Shamrock's responsibility. He can claim that the crisis in Mary Geoise is more important, and he, as the firefighter, has to be temporarily recalled to perform a more urgent protection mission.

As for the two members of the Order of God who replaced Shamlock, they were no ordinary people either. Saint Ziringom goes without saying, and Saint Somaz is a member of the Shepard family. Although he is not the son of Saint Pit, the God of Agriculture and War, he is still a proper lord of the Upper Five Banners.

Moreover, he is more ruthless and has no bottom line than Shamrock. Since the plan to win over Loki has failed, the task of kidnapping giant children to force the entire race to submit is more suitable for Saint Somaz than Shamrock.

The three divine groups quickly headed towards the Walrus School. As they left, a huge dragon shadow flashed through the clouds and headed straight for Auersto Castle.

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

Robert was engrossed in the conversation when a deep, muffled voice suddenly came through his earpiece: "Robert, they did indeed summon a new Celestial Dragon, but they didn't use the teleportation array at Auersto Castle. It was that woman with the arrow-shaped ability who drew a new one using her Devil Fruit power."

Robert dodged Akainu's lava and nodded, asking, "Has Shamrock left as well?"

The voice on the other end confirmed, "Yes, after those two new Celestial Dragons arrived, Shanks' brother left using the same teleportation array they used to arrive. May I make my move now?"

Robert straightened up, pretending to catch his breath: "Let me check in a moment."

He switched to another chat channel, tapped his earpiece a few times with his fingers, and a man's voice quickly came from the other end: "What's wrong? Is it urgent?"

Robert asked cautiously, "I just wanted to check on your progress. Are you able to receive the goods being delivered?"

The male voice said seriously, "Of course, Fishman Island is now mine. I'm keeping an eye on the Navy's withdrawal. Have someone deliver all the goods to the coating dock next to Thunder Island. I need them urgently."

Robert, understanding immediately, hung up the phone and dialed back the number that had just called: "Make your move!"

A kind, honest voice came from the other end: "Leave it to me!"

Robert dodged another attack from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and continued to rise until he became one with the clouds in the sky.

Blackbeard yelled at Akainu, who was still relentlessly attacking him, "He's about to escape! And you're still staring at me!"

Akainu glanced sideways at the thunderous clouds, remaining unmoved as he chased after Blackbeard.

Even if Robert wanted to run away, what could he do? Robert could fly, but he couldn't. Robert was fast enough to rival Kizaru, and he couldn't keep up with him.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Instead of worrying about whether Robert has run away, he should keep a close eye on Blackbeard, who is also not very mobile.

But Robert had no intention of running away. He simply rushed into the clouds and released all the electricity that had been accumulating in the thunderclouds for half a day at once.

For a fleeting moment, those anxiously waiting around Ghost Island were blinded by the dazzling lightning and couldn't see anything clearly.

Countless lightning bolts descended from the sky, and the sudden burst of lightning completely dispelled the darkness that Blackbeard had gathered. Akainu immediately sank into the lava that had already covered the entire island, while Blackbeard was struck squarely by the thickest bolt of lightning.

Blackbeard suddenly recalled the scene when he was severely injured by the sudden lightning strike after landing on Skypiea. He used all the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to gather darkness together to resist this powerful attack.

Robert stared intently at Blackbeard: "I've been here fighting you to attract the world's attention, and you've turned the island into a complete mess!"

"Behold, I will shatter the darkness with thunder!"

Chapter 32 Smoker, go to Usopp's table!

On Fishman Island, sailors boarded warships one by one, while at another dock not far away, ships bearing the Dressrosa logo were unloading cargo.

With an arrogant grin on his face and a cigar dangling from his lips, Du Field stood on the dock, surveying the scene: "I heard this used to be that beast Robert's territory? Hahaha, I really want to see his expression now!"

Stussy, standing to the side, covered his mouth and chuckled, "If he really came here, I'm afraid you wouldn't be laughing anymore."

A flicker of anger crossed Du Field's face, but he quickly masked it: "I'm telling you, Stusey, whose side are you really on?"

"We're in this together now. If I get killed, do you think you can escape unscathed?"

"It was you, Queen of Pleasure Street, who helped the World Government contact me. I only handle packing and shipping the goods from Fishman Island and then sit back and collect the money. As for where you sold them or what dirty tricks you did, I don't ask a single question."

"Do you think that if Robert came here, he would kill me and then let you go?"

The vice admiral standing next to them, two cigars dangling from his lips, had a fury in his eyes that was almost palpable: "You bastards, where exactly are you going to sell the mermaids on this island?!"

Du Field showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he took a deep drag on his cigar and blew the smoke into the vice admiral's face: "What right do you, a lowly soldier, have to interfere with my dealings with the World Government?"

"Just be a good dog and do your job as a dog!"

"Do you think Mary Geoise's problems are so easy to solve? Why are they short of food? It's the result of the combined efforts of the Four Emperors and the Revolutionary Army!"

"Besides us few kings of the underworld, who else can solve Mary Geoise's problem? You?"

The vice admiral, unable to bear it any longer, was swept back by the thick smoke exhaled by Du Field, which wrapped tightly around his neck and lifted his body high in the air!

Dufeldt frantically kicked his legs in mid-air, his mouth agape, but the thick smoke blocked his throat, preventing him from uttering a single note.

Stussy waited for a full half minute before coughing and saying, "Vice Admiral Smoker, the Navy's orders are for you all to withdraw from Fishman Island and never interfere in anything here again."

“Now this island belongs to both of us. If you kill him, you’ll have to figure out how to solve Mary Geoise’s food problem.”

Smoker, the white hunter who was once a famous town in the East Blue, has been promoted several ranks to vice admiral after two years of training, but he feels increasingly frustrated.

It wasn't just because after arriving in the New World, he encountered too many powerful pirates and found himself somewhat powerless when facing them.

Furthermore, as their military rank increased, they began to be involved in more and more special missions imposed by the World Government.

The more missions he took on, the more fragmented he felt. He no longer even knew whether the pirates or the Marines were the bad guys.

Because many times the things the navy does are even worse than those done by animals!

Although Smoker kept defending his companions, saying that these missions were all ordered by their superiors, and that the superiors made these decisions under pressure from the World Government.

Everyone still upholds justice at heart, but they have made some concessions in terms of methods.

But such self-deception can't even fool himself. For example, he is now watching cargo ships arrive at Fishman Island. His men can only see Fishman Island receiving goods, but they don't know that there is a dock on the other side of the island, where countless merfolk women are being loaded onto ships and transported to some unknown place!

These bastards from the underworld who just bought the operating rights of Fishman Island from the World Government are practically industrializing the slave trade!

Smoker, as a naval officer, was completely helpless against them because his rank was high enough and he knew enough secrets!

Mary Geoise is not exactly a land of starving people, but it is certainly a land of plenty. Keep in mind that those starving people who have to rely on rations to get food are none other than the Celestial Dragons, the world's nobles!

The World Government didn't announce it publicly just to save face, but those who had been sent to suppress the Revolutionary Army knew exactly what a miserable state the Holy Land was in.

This predicament was caused by the combined efforts of pirates and the Revolutionary Army. Although the Navy was originally established to make things difficult for pirates and the Revolutionary Army, after so many years, the Navy is simply powerless to do so.

Since the Age of Exploration, countless people around the world with dreams of becoming pirates have set sail. Despite the Navy's efforts to capture and kill so many people over the years, the number of pirates has only increased.

The pirates still have the resources to launch even more extreme terrorist attacks, but the Navy is simply unable to cope alone and cannot squeeze out any extra troops to solve the problem.

That's why those bastards in the CP department suggested using the underworld, a force that the World Government has never looked down upon, to deal with pirates who are also considered low-class!

As it turns out, this Dark Gold King Du Field actually managed to get his hands on the food!

Smoker had vented his anger enough, but he couldn't really kill Dufee, so he reluctantly put the nearly dead Dark King down.

Dufeld's eyes were bloodshot. He slumped to the ground, gasping for breath. The look in his eyes as he stared at Smoker wasn't anger, but rather a kind of almost perverse madness.

"Hahahaha! You don't dare to kill me! Because you can't!"

"You can neither rebel against the World Government like Robert, nor solve the problems caused by pirates like I can!"

"Stusi! I have a new idea. We can't just rely on female mermaids to recoup funds. How much can we get in return?"

"Starting with the next shipment! We'll sell male mermaids too!"

"No! We'll sell fishmen too!"

"Everything on Fishman Island is for sale!"

Smoker's anger surged, and he raised his hand to hang Du Field again.

Du Field stared intently at Smoker: "Remember this! This is the price you pay for attacking me!"

"As long as you don't dare to actually kill me, I will take my revenge on those innocent civilians tenfold for everything you've done!"

"Because I'm a complete bastard! And you! You're a fucking self-proclaimed righteous navy man!"

Smoker was trembling all over, but he couldn't do anything to Du Field.

Stussy stepped forward and pulled Smoker away, sending him to the front of the warship that was about to set sail. He whispered, "You'd better leave quickly, Mr. Vice Admiral. The people of Fishman Island can't afford for you to continue expressing your anger."

Du Field wore a victor's smile and no longer looked at the Navy.

After seeing Smoker off, Stussy's expression immediately turned cold. He waved over a CP agent:

"Let's sneak onto the cargo ship in Dressrosa and see where they've hidden the grain!"

Chapter 33 What do you mean, "Did I dig up your ancestral grave?"

Blackbeard chased Robert like a mad dog. Whenever Robert appeared, the gravitational pull of the Dark-Dark Fruit would yank him frantically toward Blackbeard.

If it weren't for Akainu's involvement, which maintained a delicate balance among the three parties, Blackbeard would likely have already used his anger to create a black hole and perish together with Robert.

Robert, looking completely innocent, used his speed to dodge Blackbeard's madness: "Are you sick in some way? Akainu has almost removed all the bristles from your back, why are you still staring at me like that?"

In fact, Akainu was also very confused. He didn't know what had happened just now. For a moment, Blackbeard's hatred seemed to be locked by Robert, and he chased after him with the attitude that he would not stop until he killed him.

Now that things have developed to this point, Akainu and Blackbeard have both figured it out: Robert simply wants to take advantage of their fight to eliminate one of their enemies, so unless there is some fatal risk, he will not leave voluntarily.

Given his mobility, he would have run away long ago if he wanted to, and the two of them couldn't do anything about Robert.

Even though Blackbeard risked his life and endured several heavy blows from Akainu, his upper body clothes were completely burned to ashes, revealing his dark skunk fur, which was also burned and mangled by Akainu's lava.

But he relentlessly pursued Robert, seemingly no longer seeing Akainu as an opponent.

Although Akainu was attacking energetically from behind, he was also on high alert, fearing that Blackbeard was playing a trick to lure him into attacking recklessly, and then suddenly use some ultimate move to turn around and kill him.

After fighting for a while, Akainu realized that if this continued, he might really kill Blackbeard. The wounds on his body had exceeded the absorption limit of the Dark-Dark Fruit and completely suppressed the abnormal regenerative ability of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

After all, all three of them were top-notch fighters. In this level of chaotic battle, no one could hold back. Their energy and stamina were rapidly depleting every minute. They had been fighting for more than a day, and none of them had eaten a single bite.

Blackbeard, in particular, cannot transform into an elemental form, so he cannot avoid physical damage at all and can only withstand it with his body. He relies on the damage reduction of the Dark-Dark Fruit and the rapid recovery of the Zoan-type Devil Fruit.

However, the recovery ability of Zoan-type characters consumes far more energy than that of Logia-type characters. Blackbeard neither rests nor eats, and the energy in his body used for recovery is completely depleted. There is no way he can squeeze out any more energy for recovery.

With things developing this way, Akainu reduced his attacks on Blackbeard and instead turned to deal with Robert, just like Blackbeard had done.

Akainu knew that once Blackbeard died, Robert would either achieve his goal and run away, or he would be driven by greed and stay behind to fight him one-on-one in an attempt to kill him as well.

Akainu would rather let Blackbeard go first and kill Robert. How could he be willing to become a pawn in Akainu's scheme to eliminate his enemies and then let him go?

Even if Robert doesn't leave, Akainu has to admit that he might not be Robert's match in a one-on-one fight!

Akainu discovered this in Mary Geoise, when the two met on a narrow path and Akainu was directly confronted by Robert's Conqueror's Haki, suffering a great loss on the spot.

Akainu was twice the age of Robert and had already passed his physical peak. He also lacked the powerful ability of Conqueror's Haki. After returning, he racked his brains for a long time but could not come up with a way to defeat Robert with certainty.
