One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Robert was startled. Uta could sense the emotions of those pulled into the world of the song? Could it be that when he and Karina approached her, she had already discovered their ulterior motives?

Uta's expression turned angry: "You're not thinking anything of this, but now I'm even more convinced that you did know me before, and we seemed to be quite familiar with each other, but why don't I remember you?"

Robert quickly stopped his wild thoughts: "Uta, listen to me. I have a huge responsibility on my shoulders this time. Believe it or not, the people of Dressrosa are experiencing unimaginable suffering, and we must save them."

Uta rolled her eyes: "I see everyone is living a happy life, why do they need saving? And who are you in this country? Why should you save everyone?"

Robert patiently explained, “Like you, they were forced to forget their very important relatives. All their happiness was faked by some kind of Devil Fruit power. And those who were forgotten could only watch their loved ones right beside them but could not recognize them. Isn’t that the greatest suffering?”

As for me...

Robert paused. In his previous ways, he would have definitely tried to fool Uta.

But now, Robert feels that there's nothing he can't say directly about what he's doing.

"The most precious thing a person has is life."

"Life is given to each person only once."

"A person's life should be lived in such a way that when he looks back on the past, he will not regret wasting his years, nor be ashamed of having accomplished nothing."

"On his deathbed, he was able to say: 'I have dedicated my entire life and all my energy to the most magnificent cause in the world—the struggle for the liberation of mankind.'"

Chapter 26 We've set the code, why don't you take a look?

Uta burst out laughing: "You definitely didn't say that."

Robert laughed and said, "Indeed, it wasn't me who said it. I'm just one of the millions of people who have been inspired by his spirit."

Uta's eyes gleamed: "I believe you because I can feel the voice of everyone affected by my songs. The people of Dressrosa do indeed harbor deep pain, suppressed by some force, so deep that they themselves are unaware of it."

"What do you need me to do now?"

Robert recalled the resolute young girl in the movie. It was because she felt the pain of too many listeners that she wanted to bring everyone into the world of song, and then leave the listeners in this illusory world of happiness forever with her death.

Although his methods were extreme and naive, it must be said that Uta was a truly selfless idealist.

"How many officials from Dressrosa have entered the world of song? Or how many Don Quixote family executives are attending your concert?"

Uta can multitask in the world of songs, and can even fight in the real world while communicating with different people in the world of songs.

"A few officials did come in, but of the so-called Don Quixote family officials you mentioned, only Ms. Monet, who has been in contact with us, came in."

Robert couldn't help but curse, "A bunch of old foxes, you must have shown them your abilities beforehand, right?"

Uta said, "Since we are going to use this performance style that combines reality and fantasy, we must communicate with the organizer in advance."

Robert wasn't blaming Uta for carelessly revealing his Devil Fruit ability; he just felt it was a bit of a pity.

"Then find me someone as soon as possible, about 1.9 meters tall, around four or five years old, with a small mustache, and carrying a long katana over 1.7 meters long..."

Uta squinted: "The person you're talking about hasn't entered the world of song."

Robert's eyes widened: "That bastard didn't come in either?"

Uta said, "Is he an enemy? I know where he is; someone in the real world saw him."

Robert frowned: "He's not an enemy, but he's very important to saving Hiramon. Uta, you can control the real-world bodies of people who enter the song world, right? I have an extremely important task for you."

Uta asked with great interest, "Should we catch him?"

Robert shook his head and said, "No, first take people to a place and see if the coded messages I left have been erased."

After some practical maneuvering, Uta quickly gave Robert a negative answer.

Robert gritted his teeth in anger: "I knew this bastard hadn't tried to save me as promised! Turns out he didn't even notice the first step!"

"First, help me cross out those words and replace them with something else, then help me convey a message to that big idiot—"

"Let him see the inside of his right arm!"

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

Trafalgar Law wrapped a small portion of his head with the ROOM to block out all sound as he strode quickly through the bullring.

The inspiration for this use of ROOM came from his most admired benefactor, Rosinante. Whenever he was in this quiet state, he always felt a strange sense of security.

Although Law had already left the organization before Doflamingo occupied Dressrosa, he has never stopped searching for any information related to it over the years.

According to Law's analysis, Doflamingo's Dark Kingdom was most likely built beneath this massive arena. Who would have thought that beneath the bustling arena every day would be the heart of the underworld?

Luo has been feeling strange lately, wondering why he impulsively infiltrated Dressrosa when his plans were long-term and required two to three years to develop.

But this big commotion is indeed a good opportunity. Since I'm here, if I can uncover some of the secrets of the Don Quixote family, it will be a worthwhile trip.

After Karina sang for an hour and a half, the concert entered its second half as scheduled. Uta's singing lulled all the audience members to sleep, while Luo began his infiltration operation at that moment.

He hadn't gone far inside the arena when a figure suddenly blocked his way.

Luo was shocked. He had deliberately blocked out all external noises to avoid being affected by the singing, but he had been caught red-handed because of it.

He instinctively reached for his sword, but suddenly realized that the person blocking his path was acting very strangely.

The man's eyes were glazed over, and he looked as if he were still fast asleep. Although it was obvious that he had come specifically to stop me, he mechanically raised his left hand and pointed to the inside of his right upper arm.

Luo felt something was very strange. Since he had already been discovered, there was no way he could get any results by going any further. So he simply ignored the person in front of him, opened his ROOM, and teleported back to the outer stands.

Just as they were about to leave quickly, all the people around them who had fallen asleep suddenly and strangely stretched out their left hands, pointing to the inside of their right upper arms.

The impact of a single person making a certain action is only average, but when a group of people who should be unconscious suddenly make the same strange action late at night, Luo felt his scalp tingle.

Not daring to linger for even half a second, he activated ROOM repeatedly and escaped to a place one or two kilometers away from the bullfighting arena.

Luo only felt a little relieved when the surroundings became lively and ordinary people who were not interested in the concert began to appear in his line of sight.

The bizarre scene from earlier lingered in Luo's mind. After calming down, he realized that although those people's behavior was extremely terrifying, upon closer reflection, it seemed that they had no intention of harming him. Rather, it was more like they were trying to remind him of something.

Hesitantly rolled up his sleeves until his elbows were exposed, but there was nothing special about them.

Just as Luo chuckled to himself, thinking he was overthinking things, a strange line of text peeked out from the edge of his sleeve.

Luo was shocked and immediately rolled up his sleeve to his armpit, revealing a secret message written in simplified script that looked very much like the script of his hometown, Flevans, on the inside of his right arm, a place he would never normally notice.

This code word is a unique recording method that he created over the years for recording intelligence and writing plans. Luo dares to guarantee that only he himself can understand it!

Combining this with the handwriting, Luo came to a terrifying conclusion—he wrote those words himself!

However, he had no recollection of the contents of the document. Law believed that unless he was influenced by some kind of Devil Fruit power, it was impossible for him to forget such a special event.

The coded message was extremely concise, conveying only a few key messages.

First, I appeared in Dressrosa because of an agreement with Robert to cooperate in defeating Doflamingo.

Second, if he has forgotten who Robert is, it means he has already fallen victim to his scheme.

Third, go to the bullfighting arena, the gladiator preparation area, the toilet at the east end of the second-floor corridor, the innermost cubicle.

Luo was caught in a dilemma. He had never trusted anyone in all these years, and since Rosinante's death, he had only trusted himself.

He had no recollection of who this Robert was, and returning to that eerie and terrifying bullfighting arena was far too risky.

But this message was written in his own unique secret script, and in such a private place as the inside of his right arm.

Luo hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, cursed, and turned to walk back: Although he couldn't remember who this Luo Ba was, he could leave the message in the toilet.

He's definitely a pervert!

Chapter 27 Whitebeard's Formidable Fame

The concert was still going on, and all the audience members inside the arena were asleep. Only the security personnel were allowed to protect the audience outside, as agreed by Uta, who had turned off the sound effects.

Law returned to the arena and used his Devil Fruit powers to try to bypass the security personnel.

His suspicions grew stronger. The journey had been too smooth, so smooth that it seemed as if all the security personnel were being controlled by some force, deliberately making way for him to get to that restroom!

Upon reaching the designated location, Luo yanked open the partition door, where someone had written in tiny handwriting in the corner:

'On Greenbit Island to the north, you can find the Tontatta race of little people. Contact Vika or Bian, tell them you are Robert's friend, and have them take you to see the Revolutionary Army. Please delete this message after reading.'

Luo Qi's teeth itched with anger, and he felt more and more that this guy named Luo Ba was a bastard.

Since he's already left a message here, why doesn't he just say everything at once instead of going to several different places to contact so many people?

But Luo suppressed his anger the next second. He didn't know anything about the Tontatta tribe, but he had heard of the Revolutionary Army.

Given Doflamingo's modus operandi, he will inevitably become a target of the Revolutionary Army sooner or later. If I can make contact with the Revolutionary Army, it will indeed be beneficial to defeating Doflamingo.

After thinking for a moment, Law simply used his Devil Fruit ability to cut off the wooden plank and then quickly left the Corridor.

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

Uta relayed the situation outside to Robert: "Your friend went back to the concert venue, probably to the restroom to check the news. Do you think he'll really do what you said?"

Robert nodded self-comfortingly: "Although he doesn't trust anyone, he should at least trust himself. He wrote that code himself after we discussed it. He must have a way to convince himself."

He turned to Uta and said, "Didn't you say that some members of the Revolutionary Army had come in? Let me see him."

Uta clapped her hands, and a fishman nearly three meters tall appeared beside her, looking Robert up and down: "Miss Uta, is this the person you wanted to introduce to me?"

Robert bowed politely and said, "Actually, if it weren't for some unexpected events, I would have met with everyone tomorrow through the introduction of the Dongtata tribe. It's just that it's been brought forward a bit."

The fish-man squinted: "Are you the toy cowboy Bian was talking about?"

Robert pointed to his body: "Isn't it obvious?"

Suddenly, Robert froze on the spot. His current appearance was neither that of the cowboy toy nor his original appearance.

Uta said, "Your existence is affected by another fruit power, and I cannot restore the appearance of your mental world. But Mr. Haku, please rest assured that in my world, I can still tell whether someone is lying or not. He truly wants to save this country."

Robert didn't want to waste time proving himself: "The Tontatta rebels have a one-legged soldier toy, and he wasn't restricted by Sugar. Since you've had contact with the Tontatta, you should already know from them what Doflamingo did to this country, right?"

When Haku the fishman heard Robert's words, his first reaction was not to believe him, but rather to become even more suspicious.

The fact that the one-legged soldier was not controlled is a unique case in all these years, and his years of organizing resistance have long proven him right.

But Robert, this guy who suddenly appeared, seems more like a spy planted by the Don Quixote family in the toys. Otherwise, it's hard to explain why he wasn't subject to any restrictions and yet seemed to know everything.

Seeing that Haku remained silent, Robert continued, "I don't need you to believe me right away. I just want to ask Mr. Haku for a favor. You can make a decision after you've heard what I have to say."

Haku nodded solemnly, wanting to hear what Robert was planning to do first.

"Before I came to Dressrosa, I knew about Sugar's Devil Fruit ability and that there was a high probability that I would be turned into a toy and forgotten by everyone. So I invited a friend in advance, Trafalgar Law, who had just become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

"Right now I'm in the toy recycling room of the Donquixote Family's underground factory. There are a lot of toys here that have been dismantled into parts because of their resistance, escape, and other reasons. If you knew the truth about the toys, you would know what would happen to them if Sugar's Devil Fruit power were removed."
