One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Robert took the whole blue apple from him: "You're welcome. Just call me Red Scarf."

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Doc Q standing there, completely bewildered.

Robert breathed a sigh of relief only after turning two corners and confirming that Doc Q hadn't caught up.

The world of One Piece has its own unique rules. Most of the time, the people here seem to be missing a screw in their heads. If you try to interact with the Blackbeard Pirates normally, you will find it 100% difficult to integrate into the team.

Judging from Blackbeard's criteria for selecting crew members, in addition to strength, being wicked enough is also an essential element.

Robert's strength is negligible, so if he wants to get on Blackbeard's good side, he has to work on being evil!

His first step was to greet everyone in the gang with a bad image.

I don't know the exact working principle behind Doc Q's exploding apple, but judging from its power in the original work, one apple can blow up an entire building, so it's quite powerful.

After stuffing all the apples into his inventory, Robert turned and headed back to the dock.

Indians are incredibly efficient. The moment Robert met with Doc Q, the actors he arranged were already arguing with the warmonger Burgess.

Although the man appeared fierce but was actually cowardly, only daring to shout from afar, his attitude was extremely arrogant.

"What's it to bully us little punks? You'd better wait until executioner Rossi comes back and beat you up, and see if he doesn't rip that thing out of your pants and soak it in alcohol!"

Bages laughed heartily and patted his crotch: "Who's Rossio? Is he that good?"

The little dwarf, who had been performing with great enthusiasm, suddenly froze on his face and pointed tremblingly behind Burgess.

Burgess wasn't afraid of any conspiracy. He turned around nonchalantly and saw a huge two-masted ship sailing towards the dock, its sails bearing the symbol of a hanging man.

Robert even felt that this was the will of the world targeting him, an outsider. If Rossio had returned half an hour earlier, he wouldn't have let Miss Valentine and Miss Golden Week, those two big shots, go!

However, seeing Burgess's eager look, Robert's lips curled up again.

"It's also your bad luck. If you had fallen into the hands of those people at Baroque Works, you would have at most been sat on by a ten-ton ass. But now it's a different story."

"Burgess can make you sit on your own head with your ass."

Chapter 18: Even if you cower, you'll still get stabbed!

The two-masted sailing ship was clearly the result of a fierce naval battle. Many parts of its hull were charred and leaky, but they were simply plugged with wooden planks, and some parts were still smoking.

Burgess asked with a grin, "Is this the ship you were talking about, Rossio's? Is he very strong?"

The skinny guy had already disappeared into the crowd when he saw Rossio's ship, and by the time Bages turned around, he was gone.

Fortunately, other pirates loading and unloading cargo at the dock spoke up: "Rossie is a great pirate with a net worth of 4200 million Berries, of course he's very strong."

Burgess scoffed, "Only 4200 million? That doesn't seem like much."

The pirates on the dock burst into laughter: "Who do you think you are, daring to say 4200 million Berries is too little? I think you're just scared. What, you only dare to yell at guys without bounties? You chicken out when Rossi beats you up?"

Burgess grinned: "Alright, beating a guy with a 4200 million bounty should at least give me some fame. Looks like I'm going to be the first famous person in the group!"

The people who were busy at the dock stopped working and prepared to watch the show when they saw this silly big guy who seemed to really want to challenge Rossio.

As soon as Rossio's ship came to a stop, he and two cadres jumped off the ship's side: "You guys unload the cargo properly, then take the ship to the dock for repairs. I'll go call the buyer!"

Before he could finish speaking, Rossio felt himself completely enveloped by a huge shadow.

He reacted extremely quickly, turning around and delivering a side kick.

But when he felt the sensation on his leg, Rossio knew that he had made a mistake!

With his height of over two meters, his side kick, delivered with a turn, should have struck the enemy's chest, and with his immense power, it would have been enough to send the attacker flying.

But this kick failed to budge the person behind him even a step. With the force of the roundhouse kick, Rossio was able to see the enemy's appearance clearly and subconsciously swallowed.

This person was over 3.5 meters tall, and my side kick barely hit his thigh.

Wearing a wrestling mask, Burgess bent down, grabbed Rossio's leg, and lifted him upside down: "Hey, who's Rossio?"

Rossio was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets, his mind racing as he tried to recall when he had offended such a terrifying enemy.

The two cadres who were originally with him reacted very quickly when they saw Rossio's eyes glancing at them.

But instead of trying to save their captain, they all instinctively pointed their fingers, fearing Rossi would shift the blame.

"That's Rossio!"

Burgess muttered, "Impossible! This is the guy with a bounty of 4200 million? He's too weak!"

Rossio immediately shouted, "Is there some misunderstanding between us?"

Burgess completely ignored him and turned to look at the surrounding pirates: "Hey, is he the Rossio you guys were talking about?"

The pirates who were initially just watching the spectacle were now stunned. They had previously thought that Burgess was just a piece of trash who bullied weaker pirates, but they never expected that Rossio, the executioner with a bounty of 4200 million, couldn't even withstand a single move from him.

Seeing that Burgess seemed a little impatient, they quickly took turns proving their point:

"He really is Rossio!"

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the notice board at the dock and see his bounty."

"Hurry up and take him down, they just pulled off a big heist at sea!"

Bages's face darkened: "This is really boring. I thought he would at least play with me for a while, but it turns out he's just trash."

He grabbed Rossio's body like he was wringing out a rag, twisted it with both arms, and Rossio let out a deafening scream before being thrown away by Bages.

The two cadres following behind Rossio were trembling with fear, but dared not move for fear of attracting Bages' attention.

But Bages seemed to completely disregard them, turning around and leaving to find other opponents.

"Quick! Stop unloading! Weigh anchor! Get out of here immediately!"

The two officers reacted quickly. Putting aside whether the monster who inexplicably killed their captain would return, their pirate crew already had quite a few enemies. Now that their captain was dead, staying in Jaya was practically putting themselves on the chopping block for others to feast on.

As the two men were climbing back onto the boat using the ladder, their heads suddenly exploded in mid-air, and their bodies crashed heavily into the sea.

Robert instinctively looked around, but only turned his head halfway before forcing himself to stop twisting his neck.

Those two pirates were shot to death. If the person who did it was the one I was thinking of. Even if I went back to look for them, I definitely wouldn't find them. Instead, it might arouse his suspicion!

"It seems that not only Doc Q and Burgess have arrived in Jaya, but Van Augur, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates, has also arrived!"

Robert felt an even stronger sense of urgency. Although he had almost been beaten to death by Rossi when he first transmigrated, he had never really taken Rossi seriously since he gained access to the upgrade channel.

How strong can someone who can be shot to death in the original work be? But none of the Blackbeard Pirates are easy to mess with; any one of them could easily kill him.

Gunshots continued to ring out slowly and deliberately, and you could sense that the shooters were enjoying the fear of slowly reaping heads.

As the Rossio Pirates' ship sailed further and further away, the gunman continued to kill the pirates on board with each shot, as if the distance never changed.

Robert pretended to be an ordinary person who was frightened by the scene and ran away, but his actual goal was very firm, and he went straight to the direction where Rossio was thrown.

Burgess was incredibly strong; he had almost swung his arm in a wide arc and thrown Rossio several blocks away.

When Robert arrived, he saw several teenagers groping a money bag out of his tattered body.

Robert instantly pulled out his flintlock pistol from his spatial storage and roared, "Rossi, you dare touch me! Don't you want to live?!"

The children were so frightened that they turned and ran away. Robert didn't chase after them at all. Instead, he stood up with his gun and came to Rossio's side.

Although Rossio's limbs were twisted and he was covered in blood, he was still not completely dead!

Robert strode forward and, without hesitation, fired a shot into the man's head.

This flintlock pistol, which was found in the tavern owner's treasure chest, has a capacity of only one round, but it is extremely powerful.

Robert breathed a sigh of relief as his experience points surged by 200.

[Level: 5 (206/1600)]

Looking at the bizarrely shaped corpse on the ground, Robert remained silent, thinking that he had avenged those who had traveled through time with him.

Now, I'm about to face the real test!

Join Blackbeard's crew!

Chapter 19 A Risky Gamble

Robert sat behind the bar, expressionless, going over his plan in his mind over and over again, striving to ensure everything went perfectly before the plot began.

It wasn't mealtime yet, and the tavern was deserted, without a single customer.

The tavern door was pushed open, and Robert looked in the direction of the sound, his heart skipped a beat.

Four enormous figures filed in and went straight to the bar and sat down.

"Hey boss, I heard you have the best cherry pie in the world."

Robert forced himself to remain calm. He had already met two of the four men: one was Doc Q, whom he had tricked into giving him a whole basket of apple bombs, and the other was Burgess, whom he had used to kill someone else!

Therefore, the identities of the remaining two are obvious: the one carrying a long gun and wearing glasses is Van Augur, the sniper of the Blackbeard Pirates.

Wearing a white shirt with his shirt open and sporting a set of uneven, yellow teeth, was none other than the man Robert had been longing for—Blackbeard!

"Not only cherry pie, but also the best rum in all of Jaya Island. Would you like to try some?"

Blackbeard laughed loudly, "Tsk, hahaha! Of course we have to try it. If it's not good, we'll have a reason to—kill you!"

Robert was already panicking, after all, the plot seemed to have taken a huge turn after he monopolized the cherry pie sales in Mogul Town.

Bellamy, an important character in the story, is nowhere to be seen, and it's unclear whether the main characters will even come to their shop.

The Blackbeard Pirates, who were supposed to split up, actually came all at once in front of him, seemingly with the intention of killing him.

He forced himself to remain calm and laughed loudly, "What are you talking about? I have great confidence in my cooking skills. You can go out and ask around; who in the entire Demon Valley Town would dare to deny that my cooking is good?"

He winked at the employee who was wiping the table, then waved and went into the kitchen.

Ah San was chopping and preparing vegetables for the upcoming meal. Ever since Robert started teaching him to cook, he seemed to have developed a great interest in cooking and would stay in the kitchen busy whenever he had nothing else to do.

Robert hadn't entered the kitchen on his own initiative for several days, so Ah San found it very strange to see him come in.

"Go get me the ingredients for making cherry pie."

Ah San could sense the seriousness in Robert's tone: "Sir, there are some prepared puff pastry and sauce in the refrigerator. I'll go get them right away."

Robert waved his hand to interrupt, saying, "No, go get the raw materials. I want to make it from scratch."

Ah San quickly moved all the raw materials in front of Robert, who then rolled up his sleeves and began mixing the flour.

Robert once bought a One Piece spin-off book called Sanji's Delicious Feast, which contained recipes for various dishes that appeared in One Piece, including the cherry pie that Blackbeard loved to eat.
