One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

If Blackbeard were to die now, the initiative to fight or flee would be entirely in Robert's hands.

He could even hit himself and use his speed to escape, rest at his own pace, and then come back, until he drags himself to death!

Robert was getting annoyed as he watched Akainu start balancing health. "You actually think you're the lord and are trying to figure out who's the loyalist and who's the traitor?"

"Blackbeard, are you out of your mind?! Don't you want to live anymore?! You're only targeting me!"

After Akainu stopped attacking, Blackbeard finally caught his breath and stared intently at Robert, shouting, "Give me back what my mother left me!"

Robert's heart skipped a beat. He hadn't even had a chance to read the book he'd stolen from Blackbeard's pocket yet, and now it turned out to be a keepsake left by the man's mother.

But returning it to Blackbeard is impossible. He is now one of the Four Emperors of the sea, the emperor among scoundrels, a green-headed fly among maggots. He would never do anything saintly out of sympathy for his opponent.

Blackbeard's mother, Alice, was a member of the David family, and the written records she left behind must contain many unknown secrets.

"Which eye of yours saw me take your things? Look at your body, all burned and tattered, it doesn't look like you have anywhere to hide treasure!"

"Could it be that it was burned away along with its clothes by Akainu's magma? Magma has a temperature of several thousand degrees..."

Blackbeard wouldn't listen to Robert's excuses: "I've always protected it very well! It couldn't have been burned! It must have been you!"

"You must have used some underhanded tricks to steal it from me!"

"You have the ability to conjure things out of thin air and hide them away! You can't fool me!"

Back on Jaya Island, Robert hadn't yet eaten a Devil Fruit, but he had at least awakened his attribute panel and gained an item space.

At that time, Robert used his spatial storage to lie and claim that he had eaten a Devil Fruit, in order to lull Blackbeard into a false sense of security and prevent him from thinking that his target was another Devil Fruit.

After that, he rarely showed his prop space to others, and even intentionally hid this ability, treating it as a trump card.

But Blackbeard remembers this ability very clearly, and now he insists that he stole the item.

Robert could only feign anger and embarrassment, and began to exchange magical attacks with Blackbeard and Akainu.

A large number of naval personnel boarded the ships and evacuated. Du Field ignored them completely and began directing CP agents to take over the cargo transported from Dressrosa.

Watching boatloads of fluffy white island clouds being unloaded from the ship, Du Field proudly introduced:

“Every business has its parasites. Dressrosa no longer belongs to any one person or organization; it’s a huge commercial complex!”

"How could something this large be completely without any vulnerabilities?"

"Everyone, I will now prove to you that choosing me to break this deadlock was the wisest decision you could have made!"

Several agents stepped forward and cut a large piece of island cloud in half, and golden grains instantly spilled all over the ground!

"I've ordered hundreds of ships of Sky Island Clouds from Dressrosa! I'm going to turn Fishman Island into an underwater paradise!"

"Actually, these clouds are full of food!"

"This is the power of parasites! I love these scoundrels who line their own pockets!"

Chapter 34 Welcome to Sky Island

While Luffy and his crew were still in the Underworld listening to Loki recount the story from back then, from the Rocks Pirates' attack on God Valley to how King Harald was determined to join the World Government.

Meanwhile, the middle level of the Yang Realm in Elbaf was in complete chaos.

All the teachers at the Walrus School were defeated, and the Straw Hat Pirates' officers were powerless against Somazusa's Thorn Fruit.

Zoro, the only one who could put up some effective resistance, didn't even come to the Walrus School; he got lost after leaving the Owl Library.

The three members of the Divine Knights worked together seamlessly. Ziringom used his hypnotic abilities to kidnap ten giant children and summoned the most terrifying monster from their nightmares to wreak havoc in Elbaf.

Children have the richest imaginations, and since they are all giants who are used to seeing powerful fellow humans, what frightens these children are all incredibly powerful giant monsters.

Somaz Saint then wrapped thorns around the children, so that anyone who tried to rescue them would be injured by the thorns.

As for the military palace, it used the power of the Arrow-Arrow Fruit to guide the sleeping children in their course, making them steadfastly move towards the ships moored at the seaside.

Since they couldn't persuade Loki to join the World Government, they decided to use the lives of these ten children to kidnap the entire Giant race.

The World Government is indeed acting desperately. The navy alone is no longer sufficient to deal with the current chaos at sea, and they urgently need a powerful and unparalleled army to cleanse the world.

Countless nightmare monsters began to wreak havoc in Elbaf, and the giants were too busy to cope. No one noticed that among so many enormous monsters, an extremely large Eastern dragon soared into the sky from Auersto Castle.

No one cared about guarding the old, dilapidated city anymore, so when the dragon broke through the roof and caused the already crumbling ruins to collapse even more massively, no one paid any attention.

Only Ziringom Saint, several kilometers away, glanced at the scene with some curiosity, vaguely recalling that he had never seen any Eastern dragon appear in the dreams of the giant children.

But none of that matters. His ability is merely to bring nightmare monsters out of their nightmares into reality and then instill a simple task in them; he cannot precisely control them anytime, anywhere.

Since the damage is all happening in Elbaf, it doesn't really matter which monster caused the commotion.

CP agents directed the fishman porters to take various grains, meats, and dairy products out of the clouds, repackage them into other boxes, and send them to the surface, directly to the bubble cable car. As for the large island cloud used to wrap the grains in Dressrosa, it was simply discarded to the side.

Du Field frowned and shouted, "Move all those clouds away and send them to that Jilongkaode Square in the Dragon Palace Kingdom! I paid for them all, don't waste them!"

"Make sure to decorate that place like a dreamlike kingdom above the clouds, and then..."

"I created such a paradise-like tourist attraction for Fishman Island, shouldn't the Neptune family give me money?"

The fish-man island workers present dared not speak out in anger. This bastard sold his own compatriots in exchange for food to feed the Celestial Dragons. He was even unwilling to waste the clouds used to wrap the food to cover up the truth, and wanted to sell them to King Neptune at a high price, squeezing out the last bit of value from the Ryugu Kingdom!

But they were truly helpless. Being weaker than others, they could only be slaughtered at their mercy. Their resentment towards humans intensified, yet at the same time, they missed the life when the Raibu group protected Fishman Island.

A young crew member from Dressrosa looked at Fishman Island with excitement: "First Mate, please, let me go ashore and have a look!"

The first mate, with a long scar on his face, said coldly, "No, we still have three transport missions to complete. We have to return immediately after unloading today's cargo."

"The boss instructed us not to linger on Fishman Island. We don't need to do the unloading; you'd better get back to your cabin and rest!"

"Once these fishmen have emptied the ship, we'll set sail back immediately. Don't complain about being tired or not getting enough rest then!"

The young crew member, looking unhappy, pouted and returned to the cabin. But he quickly slipped away to the stern, found a secluded spot, set up a rope ladder, and secretly climbed down into the water.

This is the legendary Fishman Island, a place that countless men dream of visiting.

Having finally gotten this opportunity to dive down to the depths of ten thousand meters with the fleet, how could this young man be content with just staying at the dock, not even getting off the ship, and just watching those ugly fish-men dockworkers unload cargo?

Just as he climbed over the railing, the young crew member felt a blur before his eyes, lost consciousness, and fell off the ship, but was quickly caught by a large hand.

The two CP agents gritted their teeth: "What a bad year! We finally found a ship that was about to return, but we ran into some idiot who wanted to go to the island to broaden his horizons."

The two quickly put away the rope ladder, carried the young crew member into the cabin, and then found a secluded corner to hide themselves.

A tiny Tontatta tribesman stealthily peered from the mast at the two agents, pulled out a short-range Den Den Mushi (walkie-talkie), and whispered a report:

"Two spies have infiltrated the Monsanto!"

A calm, commanding voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Roger that, the fish has taken the bait. Monsanto, set sail immediately. Sentry, keep a close watch on the two spies' every move and report to the command center at any time!"

The key officers on the entire grain transport ship received a secret signal immediately, and everyone tensed up.

Everyone received a notification before departure that CP agents would be infiltrating the ships. However, the number of ships dispatched this time was enormous, and no one could be sure which ship or batch they would be on. Therefore, the most rudimentary yet effective method was used—

Each ship is equipped with multiple Tontata sentinels. These tiny, fast-moving, and difficult-to-detect individuals constantly observe every corner of the ship. Once a scout is spotted boarding, the ship instantly becomes the core of the operation!

The Monsanto unloaded its cargo almost instantly. The first mate ran to the captain's cabin and loudly reported that the loading and unloading were complete. The captain went up to the deck and, with a few trusted men, strictly followed procedures to check the ship's maintenance, supplies, and other conditions.

"set sail!"

The ship slowly sailed out of the port of Fishman Island, its hull coating unfolding, and quickly drifted towards the sea of ​​the New World.

When the grain ship reached the surface, it did not sail towards Dressrosa.

The two CP agents exchanged a glance. Their mission was to find out where Dressrosa had hidden so much grain, and it would be strange if the ship headed towards Dressrosa now.

The ship sailed on the deserted sea, and the two agents, hidden at the stern, could not see what was ahead.

But in a single instant, they felt the scenery change before their eyes, and before they knew it, the ship was sailing above the clouds!

They didn't even care about being exposed; they stood up and rushed to the railing to check. The sea below the boat had been completely replaced by clouds!

At the very rear of the ship, an enormous portal was still slowly closing, and two CP agents, their hands trembling, pulled out a long-range Den Den Mushi:

"Sir! We've made a major discovery!"

Chapter 35 Nesting

"Don't you want to eat lunch?"

High up in a coconut tree, a skinny little boy who looks only eight or nine years old is gritting his teeth and reaching out to cut off the stem connecting the branches of the pumpkin-shaped coconut tree, unique to the Sky Island.

A giant coconut fell to the ground, and the masked man beneath it cursed, "Are you trying to kill me, you little bastard!"

The little boy in the tree chopped down another coconut before sliding down the tall coconut tree to the ground.

As soon as the little boy landed, a pair of large hands grabbed him by the collar and snatched the knife he was using to chop coconut stems from his hand. What followed was a beating.

The little boy winced in pain, clutching his head and screaming repeatedly.

After venting his anger for a while, the man finally stopped, picked up the coconut he had just cut off, and left.

The little boy gritted his teeth and stood up, following behind him as they walked toward the center of the small floating island, which was only a dozen acres in size.

The island was very barren, with no animals other than the two of them. Fortunately, there was a coconut grove, which at least ensured their supply of fresh water.

In the center of the island stands a crooked bunker, built using the Inuit method of igloo construction.

The two people, one big and one small, returned to the front of the house. The child quickly built a grill out of coconut branches, while the masked man walked towards the beach once again.

A simple gillnet was stretched out in the sea. The man prayed for a while before devoutly stepping forward to lift the net.

But even after the net was hauled in completely, not a single fish was found. The man collapsed dejectedly on the beach, feeling that he might as well be dead.

The Monsanto sailed far away from this small floating island. Over the years, large and small cargo ships have appeared on the White Sea. At first, the man would shout for help, but when he realized that the people on the ship ignored him, he stopped trying.

Although the two scouts on the Monsanto carefully avoided the crew members who occasionally patrolled the stern, they took every opportunity to observe the surroundings with binoculars.

When one of them saw the man lying on the deserted island's cloud-covered beach, he was initially uncertain, and then almost cried out!

"Come and see! Isn't that... the officer who gave us a lecture before?"

Another scout turned his binoculars over as well, and after a moment of confirmation, said, "I remember him too! When we were in charge of transporting the scientists from Egherd along with that flying ship, this was the officer who led the team!"

"But...didn't he die in the battle during the pirate raid on the Marine branch base?"

The two quickly established contact with their superiors via Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter), and after receiving a reply, one of them swiftly jumped off the stern and plunged into the sea of ​​clouds.
