One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

The Knights of God are few in number, and even including the so-called Divine Knights, there are only a dozen or so. But fortunately, each of them is highly skilled and is a Celestial Dragon, so they are the most dedicated to defending Mary Geoise.

But just now, the Celestial Dragons discovered that even the last of the God Knights had been summoned away by the Five Elders!

The moment the Five Elders left Mary Geoise, the Revolutionary Army launched a general offensive, routing Mary Geoise's remaining defenses and forcing them to retreat and be trapped in the castles of various families.

Sabo personally led the main forces of the four armies from the east, west, south, and north, and almost completely occupied Mary Geoise.

“Sabo, something’s not right. This is going too smoothly.”

"Mary Geoise is, after all, the core of the World Government's rule. They actually took the initiative to withdraw their defenses layer by layer and let us occupy it. Could this be a trap?"

Sabo smiled and said, "So what if it's a trap? We're not going to stay here."

Several army commanders had similar concerns, but after hearing Sabo's words, they were immediately reassured.

They had obtained the complete battle plan before they arrived; the Revolutionary Army's goal from the beginning was not to occupy Mary Geoise.

The power structure in the pirate world is too distorted. Destroying Mary Geoise alone cannot achieve the goal of overthrowing the World Government. The reason they keep attacking it is actually to raise a spiritual banner.

The world has long suffered under the dark rule of the World Government, and countless people are full of complaints, yet dare not stand up to resist.

The Revolutionary Army's purpose in this battle was simply to tell the world that the World Government is not invincible; they are now outwardly strong but inwardly weak, unable even to defend their own holy land.

And the so-called world nobles are not some unchallengeable upper class; they can be killed too!

This battle could have ended much earlier; the revolutionary army had already achieved its objectives.

The only reason they were still in Mary Geoise was to cooperate with Robert's insane plan, and now it was time for them to retreat.

Listening to the signal coming through his headset, Sabo waved his hand and said, "Everyone, evacuate within fifteen minutes!"

His orders were relayed immediately. After more than a decade of training by Long, the revolutionary army was no longer a disorganized rabble; their discipline was even higher than that of many naval forces.

Even though it seemed that they could defeat Mary Geoise's last strength with just a little more effort, when the order to retreat came, they immediately headed towards the evacuation point that had been marked beforehand.

The red earth beneath Mary Geoise had long been hollowed out by the Western Army Commander Mori. At this moment, with the order to retreat given, all the Revolutionary Army soldiers instantly disappeared from Mary Geoise through the tunnels.

The shouts of battle outside fell silent, and the Celestial Dragons, trembling in fear inside the castle, didn't even dare to peek out.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the Celestial Dragons finally realized something was wrong and forced the remaining guards to go out and investigate.

The guards were afraid this was a plot by the Revolutionary Army, but they dared not disobey the Celestial Dragons' orders, so they had no choice but to go out.

As they stepped out of the castles of the various families, everyone gasped in shock. The Land of the Gods, which had been completely surrounded, was now deserted, with not a single revolutionary soldier in sight.

This situation was even more terrifying than opening the door to find the revolutionary army lying in ambush. After all, it was too bizarre for tens of thousands of rebels to disappear in just over ten minutes.

It is unclear when exactly, but dark clouds have begun to hang over Mary Geoise.

The Celestial Dragons, having just received the news, rushed out of the castle to celebrate their survival. Suddenly, someone pointed in terror at the low-hanging clouds:

"what is that!"

The eyes of almost everyone still in Mary Geoise were focused on the huge black shadow in the clouds, watching it slowly light up with a blinding light, and then suddenly crash down on the red earth beneath their feet!

Chapter 52 Connecting Rods

Hela was originally designed based on Hades, one of the ancient weapons. Although the use of a living tree, Adam, provided York with a lot of innovative inspiration due to the special materials used, the cannons it carried were still built according to Hades' design.

Hela's main cannon was never fully charged and fired, not even in private tests.

Because the design blueprints for Hades clearly indicate that the power levels of the main cannon increase exponentially. It doesn't mean that a shot with 70% energy is 30% less powerful than a shot with full load. Rather, the power of the main cannon increases geometrically as the energy level increases.

According to the blueprints, the craftsmen had calculated the attack intensity that the supposedly indestructible Red Earth continent could withstand. To destroy it, it would only be enough to charge Hades' main cannon to 80% capacity.

On Hela's deck, all the mechanical soldiers canceled their shifts for charging and became busy.

Inside the central control room, a girl with pink and white hair was excitedly shouting, "Test firing at 75% energy! First time breaking through three-quarters of the limit! Hela, how do you feel?"

On a screen in the control room, an anthropomorphic tree made an OK sign, while a blonde woman with twin ponytails sitting on the sofa next to it, eating a hamburger, grinned and said, "Atlas, you're making a mountain out of a molehill. It's only 75% of its energy stored."

Vegapunk's six clones had all regained their physical forms and were now sitting in Hela's control room monitoring various data.

York and Atlas, who were originally created to fulfill a certain function, were regenerated with normal human heights according to their own wishes.

York at least made sure her new body was 1.77 meters tall so she wouldn't look out of place standing next to Robert. But Atlas probably felt too stifled when she was a giant, so she went to the other extreme and made herself into a cute girl who was only about 1.5 meters tall.

Lilith exclaimed excitedly, "What are we waiting for! The first shot is just a test firing!"

"Those celestial pig people claim to be gods, right? Then let's send them to the Western Paradise!"

A dazzling, enormous beam of light shot out from Hela's main cannon and struck the Red Line below Mary Geoise.

The Red Line has a strange design; it was once known as indestructible, a fact confirmed by Robert when he brought in some incredibly powerful explosives like Dynamic Rock two years ago, which indeed only caused minor damage.

However, Mori, the commander of the Western Army of the Revolutionary Army, with his seemingly ordinary Push-Push Fruit ability, was able to easily dig through the Red Line and even leave winding troop transport tunnels inside it.

Regarding this issue, Robert specifically consulted Dr. Vegapunk's original body. The doctor explained that the special material of the Red Line gives it the property of dissipating kinetic and thermal energy. Under normal circumstances, the destructive force can only act on the point of contact, but will not be transmitted to other places on the Red Line.

In other words, no matter how powerful the explosive force of the dynamic rock is, it can only destroy the part of the red line that it can reach, but it cannot trigger a chain reaction of collapse through vibration. This is the main reason why the red line is known as indestructible.

Although Robert wasn't a scientist, he instantly understood the principle behind it, because if that's the case, then the Red Line is just vibranium from the One Piece world!

However, Vegapunk also clearly pointed out that the red line's absorption of kinetic energy is not unlimited. Once its limits are exceeded, there is no such thing as indestructibility. In fact, it may even trigger a more violent chain collapse than other materials the moment it breaks through a certain critical point.

Hela's 75% charged attack instantly leveled half of the Land of the Gods.

As for the Celestial Dragons who had just thought they had escaped a calamity, they were vaporized by the high temperature the moment the main cannon was fired, ending their sinful existence.

Lilith was incredibly annoyed: "What an idiot I was! Why did I have to bombard the top of the Red Line? I should have attacked the middle from the side!"

Atlas paid no attention to Lilith's complaints and looked at the feedback data seriously: "The cannon needs seven minutes to cool down, and no overload damage has been observed so far."

"With Hella as the center, the thundercloud within a five-kilometer radius has been drained of electricity, supplying 47 percent of the main gun's power."

"If you want to further upgrade the main gun's energy storage, external energy alone won't be enough. Hela, it's up to you now!"

The design blueprints for Hades completely lacked a power unit, which might seem strange to others. However, both Robert and the clones who shared Vegapunk's knowledge and memories knew very well that it wasn't that the blueprints were hiding something; rather, the craftsmen at the time naturally assumed that the energy source didn't need to be included in the design.

Just like a car design drawing, only the space for the engine is left, but the entire internal structure of the engine is not drawn, because the engine is an objective entity, and only the model needs to be determined.

The shipwrights of that time could not consider the issue of energy sources because it was during a world war, and no one knew whether they would survive. Naturally, they would not consider the environmental damage caused by the excessive use of weapons.

Both sides in the conflict are recklessly using the most powerful energy source—the forbidden sun!

However, Robert has now made it clear that the Mother Spark cannot be given to the World Government for use, nor can they be allowed to use it themselves.

Therefore, if we want Hela to accumulate enough energy to destroy the Red Line, we need to change our approach.

Nami's meteorologist mentors are taking advantage of the main cannon's cooling-off time to create thunderclouds and replenish the main cannon's basic energy. This external replenishment can only accumulate energy to about 75% at most.

Upon receiving the command, Hela also exuded excitement, and her branches and leaves began to grow wildly, expanding outwards above the clouds and almost blotting out the sun!

After Vegapunk was rescued, Robert immediately arranged for him to eat the Forest Fruit for Hela. Now, Hela, with her tree body, was able to harness this growth power perfectly.

Sunlight, through the transformation of chlorophyll, frantically combines carbon and water into organic matter, and generates a large amount of energy in the process of releasing oxygen.

Hela concentrated this energy on the air vent connected to the main cannon. On the monitor in the main control room, the bar chart indicating the main cannon's energy level broke through 75% for the first time and began to steadily advance towards 80%!

Ace knocked on the door of the control room: "Hey, don't get too excited and start firing right away. Karina is still in Pangaea City."

York curled his lip: "How much longer will she need? Ten minutes is enough for your brother to demolish Pangaea City?"

Ace recalled the shock he felt when he first saw Robert's so-called gift, and nodded uncertainly:

"It shouldn't take...that long..."

Chapter 53: The Fall of the Berlin Wall!

As the central hub of power for the world government, Pangaea is strong enough to withstand nuclear bombs.

Unfortunately, the world of One Piece doesn't have nuclear bombs, but it does have ancient weapons that are far more powerful.

Although Hela's attack was not aimed at Pangaea City, the aftershocks alone were enough to break through all the defenses of this huge castle.

Countless defensive measures created by unknown forces shattered and became ineffective under this attack, and some people of average strength even died from internal organ rupture caused by the shockwave.

Faced with the Revolutionary Army's frenzied attack, those who remained in the so-called Land of the Gods were all ordinary Celestial Dragons.

Of the nineteen Celestial Dragon families that reside permanently in Mary Geoise, those with pure bloodlines and certain status are currently hiding in Pangaea, their last refuge.

But after witnessing the tragic end of the Land of the Gods, these people felt even more desperate, because the huge black shadow in the clouds was gathering a new round of eerie light, and the Pangu City on which they depended for survival would definitely not be able to withstand the next round of attacks.

A giant dragon's head emerged from the clouds, followed by its massive, winding body flying towards Pangu City.

Already in despair, the Celestial Dragons stared at the monster that blotted out the sky and cried out in terror, "What is that! Guards! Kill that thing!"

This dragon had four horns on its head, and some of the Celestial Dragons who held positions in the World Government recognized its origin:

"It's Kaido! That pirate who's been entrenched in the New World! But isn't he dead? And... why has he turned pink?"

The pink dragon rushed to a spot not far from Pangu City, opened its mouth and spewed out a scorching dragon breath, instantly plunging Pangu City, which had lost all its defenses, into a sea of ​​fire.

A man mingling among the Celestial Dragons walked to the window, and someone immediately cried out, "Saint Purminger! Are you insane! Come back!"

"Ignore him! That good-for-nothing! He must have had a mental breakdown and doesn't want to live anymore!"

Ignoring the surrounding noise, the Saint of Purming walked to the window and leaped lightly. Instead of falling as others expected, he used Moonwalk to rush towards the pink dragon.

Some Celestial Dragons' eyes lit up with hope: "I knew this was a trap! The Five Elders wouldn't leave us here to die; they'd escape on their own!"

"These are all methods used to lure those bandits here and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"

But what happened next extinguished all their newly ignited hope. In mid-air, Purming Saint's body began to change, transforming into a young woman with short blue-purple hair.

The woman flew towards the dragon with a smile. The dragon not only did not attack her, but also lowered its head to let her stand on it.

"Little Oz, why are you so late?"

The pink dragon spoke in human language: "I haven't seen Ace since I was injured, so this is a chance to catch up with him."

This ancient giant was originally destined to die at Marineford, but he sacrificed himself to save his best friend Ace, breaking through the barrier erected by the Navy.

However, Robert had advised Whitebeard two years earlier to keep him in the New World under his control, thus changing his inevitable fate.

As an ancient giant, Little Oars should be very strong in combat, but the intensity of the Marineford War was too high. The lineup of the three admirals of the Navy and the seven warlords of the sea would make him a sitting duck.

Robert's actions were unnecessary; he hadn't intended to use him for anything in the future, but simply felt that such a gentle giant shouldn't die such a tragic death.

But it seems that fate has its own destiny. Now that Robert has made up his mind to have a big battle with Im, the little Oz whom he saved unintentionally two years ago has become an irreplaceable part of his plan!

A year ago, in the decisive battle, Little Oars Jr. and the Blackbeard Pirates' giant warship San Juan Garou fought to a standstill. He has been recuperating in Elbaf for the past year because only the herbs and medical experience of the giants can help his enormous body.

After Robert obtained the artificial Devil Fruit in Punk Hazard, he hadn't really decided who to give it to.
