One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

To everyone's astonishment, a baby with adorable two horns on its head crawled out of the largest portal in history!

The baby's eyes were tightly bound with strips of cloth, and a pink-haired beauty was riding on its back.

The enormous baby crawled out of the portal and showed a disgusted expression that was out of character for its age, then babbled as if protesting something.

The beautiful woman on his back pursed her lips and weakly placed her hand on the baby.

The baby suddenly began to grow larger, and in just a few breaths it became a super giant seventy or eighty meters tall.

The giant shook his neck: "Are you the bastards Robert promised me to vent my anger on?"

"Oh? There are even cute little wild boars?"

Chapter 71 Ace's Epic Enhancement

While it's hard to say what powerful special abilities the Five Elders' Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits possess, one thing is certain: these fruits all have the ability to enlarge one's size.

The Five Elders are only slightly taller and heavier than normal people. In the manga, there was a picture of the Five Elders meeting with Akainu, who had become Fleet Admiral. Maz, standing, was about the same height as Akainu. Using Akainu as a reference, their height could be estimated to be around three meters.

However, the monsters they transformed into were all enormous. The sandworm that Pit Saint transformed into could swallow Luffy in Gear 5 whole. The two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates stood up straight and swung their weapons, which could only hit the middle of the sandworm slightly above the center. And that doesn't even include the part of its body that was hidden underground.

The two captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates are both giants over twenty meters tall, which means that the Five Elders' size can increase by at least ten times after transformation.

However, when Loki, who was nearly seventy meters tall even without transforming, appeared on Fishman Island, their transformed physiques suddenly seemed insignificant.

Because Da Luo had too little time to develop his Devil Fruit abilities, and because his own strength was not strong enough, opening the giant portal each time would consume a lot of his stamina.

The largest portal that Da Luo had opened before was only about 20 meters in diameter, barely enough to let through a medium-sized cargo ship with a mast of no more than seven meters. After opening such a portal once, it would take a long time to rest.

So, in order to send Loki to Fishman Island, Robert specially invited his personal assistant Bonney.

Thanks to Bonney's ability to shrink Loki into a baby only a few meters tall using the Year-Year Fruit, he was able to crawl through the portal that Darrow had opened with all his might.

Loki's strength is so great that he could fight Im at his peak for half a day without being defeated. Against the Five Elders and the Knights of God, who are just minor characters, he is completely crushed.

Especially when it is necessary to completely eliminate these monsters who have made a demonic pact with Im, and when Conqueror's Haki is required, Loki's importance becomes even more self-evident.

Robert's side only has his master Redfield and Ace as masters of Conqueror's Haki. Even with the help of Empress Boa Hancock, it's not enough to take down so many monsters from the God Knights in one go.

But Loki is different. Twenty years ago, he was able to free his father from his enslavement by a demonic contract with a single blow, although the price was that he became an orphan.

However, this also proves that his Conqueror's Haki, in terms of both quality and quantity, can be considered top-tier in the world.

Loki's arrival was like a signal; the pirates no longer held back and charged towards the port.

Those who could be brought to Fishman Island by Robert were all top-tier experts, with strength at least at the level of a Yonko's vice-president, and a few even at the level of a Yonko.

At this moment, facing the last remaining forces of the World Government, the situation was an absolute one-sided crushing defeat.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the reserve fighters of the God's Blade began to die in large numbers.

In such a decisive battle, no one will hold back, and the participants are all seasoned veterans of the sea, whose ruthlessness is far beyond what these so-called experts, raised in a greenhouse, can match.

Just a few minutes later, the World Government side, which had initially had the advantage in numbers, was left with only the official members of the Knights of God and three of the Five Elders. Even the several Divine Blades had all been wiped out by the ferocious Raibu side.

Ace usually appears to be a gentle and mild-mannered man, but he shows no mercy when it comes to dealing with these Celestial Dragons.

The entire dock was engulfed in flames, and the damage he caused was the most severe.

In particular, his fiery light wheels seem to be specifically designed to counter the demonic aura of Im's contractors. Combined with Ace's Conqueror's Haki, which he had awakened in his childhood, almost all the God's Guardian Blades that had only signed the Shallow Sea Contract died at his hands.

It took both Saint Vauchiri and Saint Gapith working together to barely keep themselves from being hammered to death by Loki. At this moment, they couldn't spare any attention to protect the weaker Divine Blades.

Loki swung his hammer and struck Vauchiri, who had transformed into a giant boar, hard at his side, sending him flying like a golf ball.

Just as he was about to strike Pittor Saint with a single blow, leaving no one to share the firepower, Pittor Saint's body, which was desperately trying to escape by burrowing into the ground, suddenly trembled and then stopped running, freezing in place!

"No! Lord Im..."

"I'll burn your ass..."

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

Im had just broken out of the black cloud he had created and was about to rush to the dock where Garin and the others had landed to rendezvous with his men, intending to concentrate his efforts on eliminating all of Robert's henchmen.

It has to be said that the two men made the exact same decision. However, Robert only needed to hold Im back and leave the rest to his friends, while Im had to do everything himself to clean up the mess left by his useless subordinates.

He hadn't stumbled and flown very far when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his soul and crashed to the ground.

The pain this time was much less than when Saint Nassuro and Saint Maz died, and even less than when Saint Somaz and Saint Zilingom died.

But if the injuries inflicted on the previous contractors when they died were likened to severed limbs, then the pain this time is like being slowly sliced ​​to death.

Although each hit dealt little damage, the sheer number of them still inflicted a massive amount of damage on Im.

Im instantly realized which contractors he had lost, but he couldn't understand how they could all be wiped out, even if the contracts signed by God's Blade weren't high-level. They were at least at the level of Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral in the Navy.

The only person Im could think of who could cause such mass damage was Robert, but wasn't Robert trapped in the demonic mist?

Robert's voice, which Im believed was trapped in the mist, sounded eerily behind him: "How did you get so badly injured? Did another one of the Five Elders die?"

Due to the excruciating pain in his soul, Im was completely unaware that Robert had already closed in behind him. As Robert uttered his mocking words, a deluge of lightning struck, knocking Im like a leaf in a hurricane.

Im could no longer hold back and spat out a mouthful of blood. He could only activate the secret technique once again at a huge cost that others could not understand, temporarily suppressing the injuries in his body, and fighting Robert again.

"How did you escape?!"

Robert felt that Im had completely lost his mind, actually believing that the enemy would take the initiative to explain his trump card.

Of course, Robert wouldn't tell Im that he had left a special electronic mark on him, and then used his imagined quantum entanglement to anchor his path to the mark through the quantum realm, so that tracking Im didn't require relying on the five senses at all.

After Vegapunk said that developing techniques doesn't require a true understanding of scientific principles, but only a belief that science works, Robert completely let himself go down the path of pseudoscience, developing many powerful, practical, and completely unsupported new techniques.

Seeing that Robert remained silent, Im continued to nag, "And who exactly is the person who was able to take down all of my God's Blades in one go!"

Robert didn't hide the issue. Although Im had temporarily eliminated the huge damage to his soul using a secret technique, he was plagued by misfortune and was already seriously injured, so his strength was less than half of what it used to be.

"I discovered before that as long as you can guide the faith of ordinary people, you can create certain abilities and characteristics on your own. That's why my lightning can suppress your demonic power."

"Then I thought, since promoting one god is the same as promoting the whole pantheon, why not promote the whole pantheon as well? So I promoted my good brother Ace as well."

"You've been out of touch with the grassroots for too long, you probably don't know that children all over the world are singing a nursery rhyme right now."

Im gritted his teeth: "What nursery rhyme?"

Robert: "Square face, bodhisattva-like face, and a laser beam when he raises his hand."

"Shield in the left hand, dart in the right, eight-pointed light wheel slashes down on the head!"

Im: Which Ace are you talking about?!

Chapter 72 You're still using AiRecycle?

Robert was willing to waste time talking to Im not because he didn't know that villains die from talking too much, but because he knew that since Ace's side had already started, as long as he could hold them off, Im would soon be weakened to the limit.

So at this moment, he was just playing with Im from a distance, attacking him with lightning like a cat playing with a mouse, as long as he couldn't let him go to rescue his subordinates.

However, Im's ruthlessness was terrifying. With a grit of his teeth, dark mist surged from his body like tentacles. Robert, who had no idea what kind of big move Im was going to unleash, immediately became extremely alert.

But then the black mist around Im seemed to break through a dimensional barrier and pierce into the void. Im's aura began to rise visibly, and even his originally bloodless skin became a little rosy.

Even if Robert didn't know what he had done, he could tell that Im's condition was improving, and anything that benefited the enemy was something he had to stop.

Robert could no longer worry about protecting himself and focused all his Haki on Gungnir. At this moment, it was impossible to succeed by relying solely on lightning attacks. Even if each of his lightning bolts was imbued with Haki, he still needed to engage in close combat to deliver a decisive blow.

Gungnir, with its spearhead cutting through the air like a long spear, followed closely by Robert, whose shaft, like a spear shaft, provided a continuous stream of domineering energy to the spearhead as it fiercely thrust towards Im, who was unleashing some kind of recovery technique.

Even if Im were incredibly strong, he wouldn't dare to face an attack of this magnitude with his bare body. He could only interrupt the attack he was unleashing and hastily raise a massive shield formed from his dark aura to block it in front of him.

The lightning crackling around Gungnir sliced ​​through the shield of dark magic like a hot knife through butter, and the spear tip pierced straight into Im's body.

Im cried out in pain as his body was thrown backward by the force of Gungnir's attack, managing to dissipate some of the force and thus avoiding being pierced through by the massive blade.

This Gungnir was originally a spear created by the giants for Thor's enormous body. Even with only the spearhead remaining, it was as big as a door. If it were to be used by Im's spear, it could probably kill him in one hit.

Robert pressed his advantage relentlessly, continuing his onslaught with a furious barrage of attacks.

Despite his struggles, Im's injuries, both spiritual and physical, combined with his extremely bad luck, left him completely overwhelmed by Robert.

Ace's warning came through the earpiece: "Robert, be careful! That Pitson who just transformed into a giant insect suddenly seemed to have his life drained away, instantly becoming withered and aged, barely clinging to life!"

Robert quickly grasped the underlying principle with just a thought. Im wasn't stupid; when he discovered that those who had signed contracts with him not only couldn't become his allies but could even become his enemies and weaknesses, he naturally wanted to eliminate these weaknesses as soon as possible!

The way Im solved these weaknesses was simple: he took back the demonic power he had given them, whether it was immortality or unrestrained regeneration, and kept it all to himself. Then their death would no longer be reflected in Im's soul.

Furthermore, by taking back the demonic power that had been bestowed upon him, Im could also quickly recover from his injuries, which was a win-win situation.

Ace was still updating Robert on what was happening on their side: "That old man died with just a casual touch from those little seraphim, he didn't even have to use Haki!"

"I suspect that Im has taken back their power to regenerate indefinitely!"

Robert quickly gave instructions: "Take out a few more while you have the chance, then evacuate immediately according to plan!"

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

Loki, watching from the docks, saw one of his two opponents strangely drained of his life force and reduced to a skeleton. He could easily guess that Im had made his move from a distance.

Loki has extremely high battle intelligence. After Robert told him his guesses about Im's abilities, he instantly figured that Im was cutting his losses and withdrawing his powers in time.

Robert himself confronted Im's main body, leaving this side to his men, so that they could achieve results as quickly as possible.

If after fighting for a long time, none of the contractors are killed and Im even takes back his power, wouldn't that put all the pressure on Robert?

With this thought, Loki's momentum increased by three points. Black dragon wings extended from his back, and for the first time, he displayed the human-beast form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit. He took a big step and caught up with Voorky, who had just been launched into the air.

Valkyrie had already taken a heavy blow from Loki, and his physical injuries were still rapidly healing thanks to his demonic power. Now, seeing Pittor's miserable state, he felt a deep sense of shared grief and was traumatized both physically and mentally.

As Loki charged toward him with the force of a mountain crashing down, a relieved smile appeared on Worchman's pig face, as if he had suddenly come to a realization about many things in the face of life and death.

But Loki wouldn't back down for a second. He had only one thought in his mind: the giant worm had been put on the spinning wheel and retrieved by Im, and now this pig had to die quickly!

Red and black lightning surged on the giant iron hammer, like a meteor falling to earth. It not only forced Vochuli Saint out of his beast form, but also caused the ground to collapse four or five meters.

Vauchiri was already severely injured, and then he suffered a blow that even Harald, the giant king who was several times stronger than him back then, could not withstand, and he died on the spot.

Thus, all five elders who had held core power in the World Government for eight hundred years have perished, leaving only the newly appointed Korin Sei still alive.

Galin's situation is not very optimistic either. Although he has not faced a monster like Loki, he is now facing Law and Sabo, two of the best of the younger generation.

Both of them were masters of physical combat, and Law had also awakened the Op-Op Fruit. In a two-on-one situation, he fought Karin to a standstill.

The deaths of Saint Vauciuri and Saint Pitt seemed to have no effect on him; Saint Garin continued to fight his two opponents with a calm and unhurried expression.

The Celestial Dragons of the Knights of God were in a panic. All the Divine Blades who were weaker than them were dead, and only one of the Five Elders who were of higher status was left. Even someone with hemorrhoids could guess who would be the next target!
