One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Xiao Luo's voice came from outside the door: "It's not that they promised me anything, it's that I already have a grudge against you!"

Xiao Luo led seven or eight people into the room. Some of the people with him were familiar to the Indians; they were all servants from the Riku royal palace, presumably spies sent by CP.

“I never left Jaya Island willingly in the first place. You guys were all slaves captured from outside, but I'm different. My hometown is Jaya.”

"Sir... Robert killed so many shop owners on the island and burned down the bar where we had worked for many years. I was forced to leave with you."

"Actually, this isn't the main reason I betrayed Robert. The real reason is that even though I was the only one who continued to uphold the catering business he left behind, in the end, he valued me the least!"

"Brother Raleigh, you ate the Gluttony Fruit and now control the greatest fortune in the New World!"

"Da Luo also ate the Door-Door Fruit, and now he's in charge of all resource allocation for the Thunder Department!"

"And me? I built all these chain restaurants from scratch, one by one! Have you ever given me a single penny of help?"

Ah San shook his head: "Xiao Luo, if the adults hadn't left us so many recipes at the beginning, if the adults hadn't given us the start-up capital, or even if the adults hadn't contacted the White Group's logistics department, do you think you could have built such a large business?"

"You're too presumptuous. You think all this success is your due, that you earned it all yourself, but you've never considered who gave you such a high starting point."

"Even now, if you were to leave the Lei Bu platform, with the enormous wealth you possess, those pirates would have already devoured it all!"

Xiao Luo shouted, "Enough!"

"I just want a peaceful life! I'm perfectly fine with what I have, why are you all making such a fuss!"

"Why must we rebel! Why must we go against the World Government! Why must we drag down the business I've worked so hard to build!"

Whether it was Sengoku and Garp, or the CP agents who came with Ronaldinho later, they all just watched quietly as the two vented their emotions, and no one stood up to interrupt them.

The World Government knows too little about Robert and his crew. Apart from the established veteran pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates and Redfield, a remnant of the old era, Robert, as well as his subordinates such as A-San, Big Law, Karina, and Uta, all of them suddenly appeared in the last two years.

The argument between the Indian and Ronaldinho has revealed a lot of information. Alfa, who was standing next to Ronaldinho, was practically taking out a notebook to write down their words and analyze them word by word later. How could he possibly interrupt them at this moment?

“You have all eaten Devil Fruits that are enough to protect yourselves, hiding in the safe rear and wielding immense power. And what about me?”

"When you were no longer useful, you left me to fend for myself in the New World. But when you made the fatal mistake of cutting off Mary Geoise's food supply, you remembered my connections!"

"Listen! That's my life's work! I won't allow anyone to destroy it!"

Ah San's tone softened: "Little Luo..."

Ronaldinho erupted in fury: "Enough! You even forced the name Ronaldinho on me!"

"Why should I have to take Robert's surname just because he has it? And even if I do have the surname Robert, am I not even worthy of having a name?!"

"Little Ronaldo! Little Ronaldo! I've had enough!"

"From today onwards, there is no Ronaldinho in this world!"

"Only—Ronal D. Neo!"

Chapter 40 Mid-morning Meal

Elbaf is in complete chaos. Luffy and Sanji have gone to the Underworld. Even if the Giants and the Straw Hat Pirates were to come together, they would still be no match for the three God Knights.

The Straw Hat crew was controlled by Saint Somaz's thorns, and every movement caused excruciating pain. Moreover, even if they forced themselves to attack him while being pricked by the thorns, this member of the God Knights would immediately recover, as Zoro had already proven.

Zoro's tendency to get lost is somewhat understandable. Although he's likely to get lost if he's not with his crew, he always manages to arrive at the battlefield at the most crucial moment when a battle breaks out.

However, Zoro was somewhat helpless in the face of Somaz Saint's bizarre abilities. He was covered in blood as if he had crawled out of hell. The wounds he had inflicted on Somaz Saint at the cost of his own serious injuries were immediately healed, which made him lose all fighting spirit.

The ten giant children had been awakened from their dreams by the battle, but with the effects of Junko's Arrow-Arrow Fruit still in effect, they could only passively walk toward the edge of the mortal realm. Jabba, who had been very composed all along, finally revealed himself.

Jabba, disregarding fairness and justice, rushed out of the dense forest without any warning, wielding his great axe and cleaving Somaz Saint in two.

Shenping and the others were all shocked. Somaz, who had been unable to be attacked no matter what, had actually been cut in two by a single axe.

Meanwhile, Jabba's mind was replaying Robert's prophetic mockery:

"You people are all hypocrites. Now you're making this person sacrifice and that person sacrifice, all for the future you're betting on."

"They sacrificed Ace first, and then they wanted to sacrifice me."

"Jabbar, one day you'll know what it feels like to have your loved ones sacrificed. Today, I'm just giving you a rehearsal."

“I still have some bottom line, I won’t do anything to your son.”

"I hope that one day a truly shameless person will appear in Elbaf, and you can also say with righteous indignation that you are willing to let your son die for some bullshit future."

Robert's words to him in the Sabaody Archipelago still echoed in his ears. Now, it seemed that he had long guessed that these Knights of God would come to Elbaf, and even that they would kidnap his son!

Jabba broke out in a cold sweat, instinctively turning back to look at Somazzi, who was still struggling on the ground, his body severed in two. Robert's words of warning still echoed in his ears:

“You clearly know how to counter the regenerative abilities of the Knights of God. If you’re in a hurry and can’t wipe them out completely, at least stay for a few seconds and teach this method to someone else.”

Somaz Saint glanced at Zoro, who was propping himself up with his sword: "Their immortality can only be countered by an excess of Haki. You have the potential to use Conqueror's Haki. If you don't want to die at the hands of these people, hurry up and master this power."

Jabba turned to chase after his son, but then remembered something and turned to Zoro, saying:

"Some bastard asked me to pass on a message to you."

Zoro spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and nodded seriously: "What did you say?"

Jabba gritted his teeth, because while the words seemed to be an instruction to Zoro, they also seemed to be a rebuke to himself: "You swordsmen, why don't you learn from Mihawk and just slash vertically at the head? Why do you have to swing your sword horizontally to cut people?"

"Once these Knights of God have their hearts ripped out, they'll likely lose all regenerative abilities. But how long will it take you to reach their hearts if you keep cutting them horizontally? Cutting them vertically would be so much faster!"

Not only was Zoro speechless, but everyone in the Straw Hat crew had a sense of déjà vu. Nami bluntly asked, "The bastard you're talking about isn't Robert, is he?"

Jabba said no more. He had already conveyed Robert's message, and now he had to hurry to save his son.

He could no longer refute Robert's accusations of selfishness, because it was indeed true. It was easy to make others pay the price for the greater good, and now that his own family was becoming part of that greater good, he found it unacceptably selfish.

But a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly caught up with the group of giant children.

A sharp-eyed child spotted him immediately and excitedly shouted, "It's Uncle Ashan! Uncle Ashan is here!"

"Cologne! Uncle Ashan has come to our rescue!"

Jaba pursed his lips and remained silent, praying that his son would be smart enough not to reveal their relationship. But it was clear that Colon was still an immature child; upon seeing his father come to his rescue in danger, he immediately shouted excitedly:

"It's my father! Everyone! My father is stronger than anyone else! You will all be saved!"

Junzi reacted extremely quickly, and the moment Cologne shouted the word "father," he stepped on the arrow and rushed towards him.

Jabba nearly ground his teeth to powder, throwing his battle axe through the air, but Junzi was incredibly fast, already pressing his spear, made of arrowheads, against Kolon's throat.

Jabba shouted, "Kolon! It's time! Use the power that big brother gave you!"

"Give me one second! You have to hold on, I know you're brave!"

There was no fear in Cologne's eyes as he shouted in response, "Understood, Father! I am a warrior!"

As Cologne shouted, Junzi thrust his gun into his neck without hesitation: "You know what confrontation means, so you want me to kill him, right?"

But the next second, the imagined sensation of flesh and blood did not come. The tip of the gun seemed to have struck hard metal. Although Cologne still let out a cry of pain and staggered back a few steps, not a drop of blood flowed from his neck!

Jabba did not break his promise to his son. In less than a second, his axe, filled with rage and imbued with Conqueror's Haki, cleaved toward Junzi's head!

And this time he listened to advice and chopped it vertically!

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

The battle on Onigashima had reached its climax. Robert continued to use his speed to maneuver around, even having the energy to sneak into the clouds for a few bites, much to the chagrin of Blackbeard and Akainu.

Even if they were slow on the uptake, they eventually realized what was happening. The two of them were fighting foolishly on the ground, and now they were exhausted and hungry, even their moves had become a bit weaker.

But Robert had been fighting for a day or two and was still full of energy, his speed not slowing down at all.

Given his bizarre combat style of disappearing into the clouds for a few seconds at a time, and his special ability to conjure food at will, no one would believe he wasn't hiding to steal food!

This fighting can't go on. Blackbeard and Akainu are almost ready to discuss forming a united front and taking turns helping each other out, otherwise they'll be dragged down by Robert sooner or later.

A rude voice suddenly rang out. Although Akainu and Blackbeard's Observation Haki gave a warning, the warning appeared almost simultaneously with the voice, making it practically useless.

"Sakazuki, how come you look so disheveled after two years?"

Do you miss the Navy's self-heating individual rations?

Chapter 41 Biting the Hook

Junzi's spear tip pierced Cologne's neck, even producing a metallic clang.

She froze for a moment, then was so blinded by the golden light that she couldn't open her eyes.

Cologne's massive, mountain-like body began to change from the spot where he was stabbed; the golden texture flowed throughout his body, eventually transforming his entire body into gold.

The spearhead Junzi made from the Arrow-Arrow Fruit was indeed sharp, and it still managed to pierce half a foot into the already soft gold.

However, the slender spear tip pierced the giant's body, and even though Cologne was just a child who hadn't grown up yet, the damage it caused was almost the same as acupuncture, especially since he had transformed his mortal body into gold.

Before Junzi could even pull out her spear, Jaba's body had already rushed in front of her, his axe seemingly poised to cleave the entire Elbaf in two, bringing down with boundless fury.

Junzi's body put on its absolute limit of defense, urgently releasing countless arrows in an attempt to change the momentum of the axe, pulling it desperately in the opposite direction.

But Jabba's great axe is not only wrapped with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki, but also with the anger of a father watching his son being held to the throat by a spear, and the ambition that the Pirate King's left arm has suppressed for 20 years!

Junzi's invincible arrow attack was like paper in front of Jaba. The great axe not only did not deviate in direction, but its speed did not even decrease by the slightest.

Junzi's only effective resistance was to tilt his body slightly to prevent his head from being split in two!

Junzi, who failed to use Kolon as a hostage to blackmail Jaba, couldn't even withstand a single blow from him. He was completely cleaved in two from shoulder to waist. Jaba wasn't even satisfied and raised his axe to chop at Junzi's head again.

Robert had previously mocked him: "And you so-called experts, what you love to do is act out the scene of 'slaying one enemy and never looking back.'"

"You don't think that's cool, do you? Do you know why I was able to beat you guys?"

"Because I'm afraid of death, I won't put so many shackles on myself for some ridiculous master's demeanor. I'll whip the corpse if I have to, and strike the vital points if I have to. If you dare to kidnap my master, I dare to kidnap your son."

Robert's words were still ringing in his ears, and Jabba had truly taken them to heart.

He had dealt with the undead monsters, the Knights of God, in God Valley 20 years ago and knew that only domineering power could completely destroy them.

Moreover, even if you use domineering aura, you have to reach a lethal dose. Otherwise, at most you will only slow down their recovery. After a while, these bastards will get up again, full of energy, and secretly stab you in the back.

Jaba is now going to use an axe to pick out the lean meat from the soldiers and chop it into minced meat, preferably without a trace of fat on it. Then he will chop the fat meat into minced meat as well, without a trace of lean meat on it. Finally, he will also pick out the tender cartilage and chop it into minced meat, without a trace of meat on it!

Just as the first axe blow, used to chop meat, was about to land on Junzi's head, Junzi's eyes changed.

A chilling power surged from her body, and her right arm, which connected to her chest and head, suddenly rose and grabbed the handle of the axe that Jabba was holding.

The two Conqueror's Haki clashed, creating a powerful shockwave that sent all ten giant children who were standing close together flying.

The Conqueror's Haki emanating from Junzi completely cleared away the Conqueror's Haki that Jabba had attached to the wounds and was hindering the recovery. Junzi's two bodies recovered to their original state at a speed visible to the naked eye.
