One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Sentomaru lowered his head and asked the Den Den Mushi a few questions before replying, "He last contacted headquarters ten minutes ago, saying that he had spotted the great pirate Robert D. Neru on the island, who seemed to be fighting against Doflamingo. He is currently trying to rescue the other toys."

Kizaru scratched his head: "Robert D. Neru? Wasn't he dead? He was a vicious and ruthless pirate. But that's good. Now that we know he's plundering on the land of a World Government member state, we have an obligation to capture him. Everyone, land!"

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

Robert had been holding back for far too long. This time, being turned into a toy made him realize that he should use his powerful abilities when necessary.

The best approach is to develop and strengthen the ability to prevent others from targeting it, rather than secretly hiding it away to use as a trump card.

Despite the clear blue sky, lightning and thunder struck over Dressrosa.

Doflamingo waved his threads, trying his best to wrap Robert up, which is basically the most effective way to deal with Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

But Robert was too fast, so fast that Doflamingo couldn't even see his movements, let alone catch him.

Doflamingo was charred black all over, and his once vibrant pink feather cloak had long been burned away by the electric current.

Standing on the roof of the palace, desperately trying to avoid being struck by bolts of lightning, he couldn't even find his opponent. He had never felt so desperate since he started managing the Don Quixote family business.

Unbeknownst to him, Doflamingo seemed to have returned to the time when he left Mary Geoise with his father and was then hung on the city wall by commoners who watched and insulted him. The resentment in his heart transformed into a powerful burst of Haki.

Robert's body was swept by Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki, causing him to voluntarily exit his elemental state.

Looking at the battered and bruised Doflamingo, who resembled a trapped beast, Robert said sarcastically, "You're still not satisfied? Shouldn't those toys you've enslaved for ten years be dissatisfied? Shouldn't the civilians killed by the weapons you sold be dissatisfied? You're just a sophisticated, selfish piece of trash. What right do you have to exude this bullshit aura of dominance?"

Red and black lightning also appeared on his body, colliding with Doflamingo's Conqueror's Haki, instantly erupting with a shock that swept across Dressrosa. Many chaotic crowds were stunned in place by this spiritual power.

"I've seen countless kinds of Conqueror's Haki, but yours is the most boring."

Robert knew that the phase of using lightning to wear down his opponent was over. Doflamingo was now only holding on by a thread, and all that was left was the final blow.

"What kind of ambition is it to destroy the whole world with chaos and disorder? Such domineering attitude cannot even have the slightest impact on my state of mind."

Robert walked step by step to Doflamingo, glancing sideways at the west coast of the island: "Kizaru is coming soon, let's speed things up."

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

Monet flew in the sky, constantly dodging the attacks of the giant stone man.

The wings made of snowflakes were not very flexible and could not achieve rapid flight, so they were always forced back by the stone men's attacks.

Elementalization can avoid physical damage, but the stone golem's palm is too big. When it slaps, snowflakes can't pass through the cracks in the stone; they can only be gathered into a handful and slapped onto the ground.

The snow created by the Snow-Snow Fruit has limited power and cannot exert strong control like Aokiji's ice. Monet knew that as the battle continued, she would soon be defeated due to exhaustion.

Monet once again built an igloo to defend against Pica's stone fist, deciding to take a desperate gamble.

Her body rapidly transformed into a blizzard like a tornado, engulfing an area of ​​several dozen meters around her.

All the soldiers controlled by Uta were piled up into snowmen by this indiscriminate attack, and only Pica was able to use the rocks to withstand the blizzard.

Redfield stood up: "Stop playing around, Robert's side is about to decide a winner, let's end the fight."

Uta stood right beside him and never left.

Her battle is divided into two parts: in the world of the song, she has already crushed all the enemies trapped within.

In the real world, controlling these people's bodies only requires using one's brain.

A little fox peeked out from under the thick snow, seemingly unaffected by the freezing cold.

The surrounding snow suddenly formed a solid cage, sealing him inside, and Monet's figure emerged from the snow.

"Don't move, or I'll kill her!"

Karina's laughter came from the other side: "You think you've caught me?"

Monet gritted her teeth and turned around, when suddenly a massive mental shock swept through her body, knocking her back from her elemental state to human form.

A gunshot rang out, and Monet clutched his chest and fell to the ground.

"Seastone bullets, oh, they must hurt a lot, right? It's a pity the teacher told me to finish the fight quickly, otherwise I really wanted to play with you a little longer."

Karina reverted to human form and said to Redfield, who was watching the scene from the upstairs balcony, "Teacher, let Padon come with me. I need to help Robert."

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

The battle at the underground factory was over. Although the losses were considerable, all the cadres responsible for the suppression had been taken into custody. The workers were gathered with the Tontatta clan, listening to Ah San vividly describe the story of Robert saving everyone.

"Lord Robert was framed by the Navy and forced to become a pirate. He originally planned to fake his death and return to a normal life, but after hearing about Dressrosa's miserable state, he was willing to give up a peaceful life to come and rescue everyone!"

Zepa scoffed, "I really want to arrest this bastard. The three of us fought to the death, and in the end, all the credit went to that pirate? No way, I think he's Robert's accomplice!"

Bellemere said helplessly, "Stop messing around. Look at his prestige now. If we dare to arrest him, we'll just be waiting to be besieged by angry workers."

Zepa nudged Grand in annoyance: "Are we just going to stand by and watch him sing the praises of that great pirate?"

Grand looked indifferent: "Stop making a fuss. Just holding this place is a great achievement. Doflamingo isn't a good person either. Let them fight like dogs."

Ah San spoke with great enthusiasm, and the little Dongtata people kept echoing him: "Princess Mansherry was also rescued by him, otherwise we would still be in the dark. She wasn't sick at all! We've all been fooled!"

Ah San kept in mind the task Robert had given him and constantly instilled in everyone the idea that Robert risked his life to save everyone.

With simple-minded people like the Tontatta tribe providing comedic relief, and with the Monopoly organization rallying the numerous workers, the emotions of everyone in the underground factory were quickly stirred up. Swept up in these emotions, they involuntarily shouted the same name:

"Thor!"

Chapter 34: The battle isn't the point; the real victory lies in the performance.

Following Robert's gaze toward the coast, the navy ships had already docked, and the chaos in many parts of the city had largely subsided.

Doflamingo knew his men well. The quelling of the chaos did not mean they had suppressed the civilians. These men were not good at appeasement and management, but at bloody suppression.

Even if the chaos caused by the brutal suppression is temporarily brought under control, it is accompanied by screams and cries. But now many places have truly returned to peace, which means that his men have most likely failed.

Doflamingo grinned as he activated his Devil Fruit power. Robert watched silently as he transformed all the houses and buildings in the country into threads, which he then wove into a giant birdcage that trapped everyone inside.

"You think you've won? All you want is this country, or my business. Well, I'll destroy them all, and you won't get anything!"

Robert shrugged indifferently, pulled out a Den Den Mushi, and said in a triumphant tone, "We can begin now."

A sweet female voice came from the other end: "Received! Comrade!"

Doflamingo felt a deep fear. If Robert came to stop him in a fit of rage, it would mean that his plan to destroy everything in his path could indeed threaten Robert.

If Robert pretends to be indifferent, he can continue to probe Robert's true intentions through his facial expressions and reactions, and then formulate corresponding countermeasures.

Unfortunately, Robert seemed to have known all along that he would use this move and had made corresponding preparations, which put Doflamingo on the defensive.

Without activating the birdcage, his fighting ability was completely ineffective against the person in front of him, but activating the birdcage seemed to be part of the other party's original plan.

He gritted his teeth: "Stop bluffing! If Dressrosa can't be used by me, then I'll destroy it completely! This is our family's territory, and I won't leave it to the enemy!"

Robert looked at Doflamingo with a hint of pity. Even if he hadn't pulled this stunt beforehand, Doflamingo would have been defeated a year or so later, but at least he wouldn't have been so powerless when facing Luffy.

"It's not that I look down on you, you're just a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong. The World Government treats you like a fool. You don't dare to retaliate against them, so you only dare to target ordinary people. You're a piece of trash."

Doflamingo was furious, even forgetting that he was no match for Robert, and in a desperate move, he threw a punch at Robert.

Robert has figured out the fighting process in this world: first, use dazzling skills to clash and weaken the enemy's body, and finally use persuasion or a powerful strike to break the opponent's spirit.

Only by completely defeating the enemy, both physically and mentally, can one truly win the battle in the world of One Piece.

So Robert neither dodged nor avoided this punch, but met Doflamingo's fist head-on.

He now possesses incredible physical strength and has learned close combat techniques from Redfield and the Navy. Although he doesn't yet understand what "entanglement" means, he's still quite capable of exchanging punches with someone.

Robert's punches are not only physically painful; thanks to the skill 'Power Feedback' that comes with his power exceeding its limit, every strike Robert delivers now deals mixed damage.

With Robert's current Observation Haki, it would be easy for him to dodge Doflamingo's straightforward punches, but he had a feeling that he should beat him into submission with each punch.

Chaos erupted in the city again. As the birdcage appeared and closed, people were constantly cut by the silk threads. Everyone instinctively wanted to escape, but the surroundings were chaotic and dangerous, and for a moment they didn't know where to run.

A small wooden boat was flying through the city. On board, a young navy man was frowning, seemingly struggling to activate some kind of Devil Fruit ability to keep the boat levitating and moving.

Uta sat at the stern of the boat, humming intently, trying to draw everyone within the boat's range into the world of song, and then maneuvering their sleeping bodies in reality to head orderly toward the city center.

Often, danger arises from the chaos caused by fear. When people begin to fall asleep to Uta's songs, their bodies are completely under unified control, and evacuation becomes orderly.

The small boat was maneuvered to circle the country, rescuing ordinary people layer by layer from the outside in.

As Uta controlled the growing crowd, some people who hadn't yet entered the world of singing tried to push and shove, but were immediately restrained by those around them, and the procession moved very smoothly.

There are many ways to break the birdcage, and Robert initially thought it was foolish to have everyone push the barrier that Bartolomeo had conjured.

"Young lady, where are you taking this person?"

A lazy voice appeared on the floating stage, startling Uta.

Kizaru, draped in a navy cloak and radiating golden light, appeared, immediately covering Uta's mouth with his hand. He then glanced at the bow of the ship with a puzzled look: "Robert? Didn't you say you were going to rescue people? What are you doing here... on the spaceship?"

Robert, who was steering the boat, was covered in sweat, as if he was using all his strength to keep the boat afloat. He said in a low, hoarse voice:

"Uh, let's take people underground to take refuge. There's a lot of space beneath this city, so we won't have to worry about those wires once we're inside."

Kizaru chuckled and released Uta: "Well, I really have to thank you, little girl, and you, Robert, are going to be a hero again. You two continue, I can't be of much help, I'll go check out somewhere else first."

Kizaru vanished in an instant, turning into a beam of light. Robert and Uta exchanged a glance, but without a word, they returned to their previous coordinated state of one steering the boat and the other singing.

On the dome of the palace, Doflamingo lay on the ground, covered in wounds.

Although Robert was also panting, he felt completely refreshed.

Although he had not mastered the art of binding, he still managed to knock the feudal king to the ground with his own fists and kicks.

"Have you grasped the spirit conveyed by my Conqueror's Haki?"

Doflamingo cursed, "What kind of bullshit Conqueror's Haki? Weren't you just using Armament Haki to hit me? And there was electricity too! Every punch you threw was electrified! Have you no shame!"

Robert sneered: "You don't know anything! My Armament Haki is no ordinary Armament Haki, my fist is no ordinary fist, and my lightning is no ordinary lightning. This is called the Lightning that Shatters the Remnants of Feudal Thought!"

Applause erupted from the side: "It's been half a year, and you seem to have mastered some incredible powers!"

Robert feigned surprise at Kizaru's appearance: "Oh my, isn't this the Admiral who's known as faster than light?"

"If you had come any later, he would have been reincarnated and was in elementary school!"

Chapter 35 The New Order

The situation became complicated as soon as Kizaru arrived.

He wants to capture both Doflamingo and Robert.

For Doflamingo, Robert might actually kill him, while falling into Kizaru's hands would at least save his life. However, the darkness of this country would be fully exposed, and it was a foregone conclusion that he would be imprisoned.
