One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Luffy and his crew hurriedly expressed their desire to go together, but Robert interrupted them, saying, "Everyone, if the guess is true, then the key issue is no longer simply whether we can defeat the enemy, but whether Miss Robin will be willing to come back with you."

The group was speechless. They all believed that if Robin got stuck on this idea, he might actually do something like willingly sacrificing himself to protect everyone.

"So everyone has their own battlefield. What we need to do is dispel Miss Robin's concerns and help her regain her hope to live. As for me, I will stay by her side as much as possible to protect her. Believe me, I am very strong now. As long as I am here, I will never let her get hurt!"

Sanji hurriedly said, "So you know where Robin is! Just take us there!"

Luffy stopped Sanji and said, "Robert is right. If those guys really use us to threaten Robin, she won't come back with us. But Robert, we can't let you take the risk."

Robert shook his head: "No, I have other reasons why I must go find those guys!"

"Ace only knows that I was captured, but he doesn't know that I've escaped, so he's very likely on his way to Enies Lobby to rescue me!"

"Those bastards in the Navy deliberately blocked the news of my escape, just to lure Ace into their trap. So I was planning to go and surrender to them myself and have them take me to Enies Lobby!"

Luffy's gaze was resolute: "You mean Ace is in danger too? Then we have even more reason to go and fight those spies!"

Robert revealed his true intentions: "By the way, Ace said you have the Vivre Paper he gave you, right?"

Luffy pulled a small piece of paper from his pocket: "Is this what you mean?"

Robert took it and tore it in two: "That's right, this piece of paper will point in Ace's direction. I will ask someone to take it to Ace, so that if he hasn't come to save me yet, we can stop him in advance."

"I will protect Miss Robin's safety. What you all need to do is give Miss Robin hope of survival."

Before the others could say anything more, Robert had already vanished in a flash.

"Instead of giving us those huge fireworks that we couldn't set off, Ace, you might as well have just given me a Life Paper!"

Chapter 26 Surrender and you lose half the battle; turn yourself in and you'll avoid a severe sentence.

Robert did not go to find Robin immediately as he had promised, but instead followed the direction indicated by Ace's Life Paper and soared through the air.

Within the field, lightning moves at nearly the speed of light. Even if it only appears for a moment every 200 meters, it can travel more than ten kilometers in a minute.

As the fruit's awakening level increases, the amount of electricity in his body also increases a hundredfold. If he doesn't engage in high-intensity battles and only uses it for elemental travel, the consumption is even slower than the recovery.

Robert quickly stopped, staring silently in the direction the life paper in his hand was pointing.

His worst fears came true, because the building beneath his feet was strikingly visible—a floating island suspended above a giant vortex.

Even if Robert couldn't recognize what Enies Lobby looked like, he was absolutely certain that he recognized the so-called Gate of Justice.

In other words, Ace was already on Enies Lobby at this point!

Even though Robert's strength has increased a hundredfold, he still wouldn't dare to go to Enies Lobby to find Ace on his own.

The biggest perk of time travelers is their familiarity with the plot. But outside of the plot, no one can guarantee what unexpected events might occur. Who knows, maybe some big shot is passing by on Enies Lobby right now.

Robert took a deep breath, turned around, and left.

Coming to such a dangerous place requires more than just courage and existing strength; the most important thing is some kind of mysterious and profound luck.

I don't have that kind of luck, but Luffy has it all!

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

Karina had just finished showering and stepped out of the bathroom when she saw Robert sitting on the sofa smoking.

"Hey boss, if you have that kind of idea, just say so. Why did you sneak in without a word? You scared me to death."

Robert's voice was low and deep: "The worst has happened. Ace really did break into Enies Lobby."

Karina stopped joking and sat down on the sofa opposite Robert, wearing a bathrobe: "How did you know?"

Robert pulled out his Vivre Paper: "I followed Ace's Vivre Paper directly and confirmed that he is currently on Enies Lobby, but I cannot confirm whether he has been captured yet."

Karina asked, "What do you need me to do?"

Robert stubbed out his cigarette: "Do you know a bar in Water Seven called Bruno's Bar? Find it for me, and then you can just wait for news of my victory."

Karina took out a Den Den Mushi, made a call, and immediately gave the address:

"The bar you mentioned is located on a street not far from the gate of Dock 1. Would you like me to take you there?"

"Nice figure!"

Karina stared angrily at the sofa that had suddenly become empty, but then burst out laughing.

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

It was already very late at night, and only a few staff members were cleaning up in Bruno's bar.

The bar door creaked open, and Bruno, who was wiping glasses behind the counter, instinctively said, "Sorry, we're closed."

"Oh dear, that's a pity. I was planning to have a drink and then turn myself in."

Hearing the familiar voice, Bruno squinted and raised his head: "You're quite bold."

Robert gestured to the cleaning staff with his eyes, and Bruno said, "Remember to close the door when you're done cleaning. I'm going to catch up with some old friends."

The two walked through the hotel and into a small alley from the back door. Bruno turned around and crossed his arms in front of his chest, assuming an offensive stance.

"Whatever your purpose is, I will defeat you completely first before considering anything else."

Robert raised his hands and stretched them forward: "I already said I'm here to turn myself in. Come on, put these sea stone handcuffs on me. I'm definitely not going to run away this time."

Bruno narrowed his eyes: "What are you plotting?"

Robert's joking expression vanished: "Where did you take Robin?"

Bruno relaxed instantly: "Oh, so you're here for Robin. I initially suspected you were just a fake Ohara survivor, but it seems you two are actually connected."

Robert said, "I can go to Enies Lobby with you, as long as you release Robin."

Bruno smiled and shook his head, saying, "That's a difficult situation. We didn't restrict her freedom; she wanted to come with us herself."

Robert snorted coldly: "Others may not know what kind of people CP9 are, but I know them perfectly well. Take me to see Robin, or find someone who can make decisions to talk to me."

Bruno raised his arm, opening a door in the air: "Come with me."

This time he was smarter and went inside first. Since Robert had come to him, he wasn't worried that Robert wouldn't follow.

After passing through the portal, there was a huge warehouse on the other side, which should be inside a shipyard in Dock 1.

Robert saw Robin sitting on the wooden plank at first glance. She seemed to have lost her soul, her eyes empty and lifeless.

"We meet again, Robert D. Nelo."

Kaku greeted Robert with a smile, but he soon noticed that Robert wasn't wearing handcuffs.

Bruno shrugged and said, "I didn't capture him. He walked right into our trap, all for Robin."

Upon hearing Robert's name, Robin's eyes regained focus, and she looked at him with suspicion. When she learned that he was coming for her, she was even more surprised.

Rob Lucci emerged from the darkness: "You seemed to know who we were during the day, yet you still dare to come here alone. Are you very confident?"

Robert chuckled and said, "Let's talk about something. Release Miss Robin, and I'll go back to Enies Lobby with you."

Lucci sneered, "We will not spare a single survivor of Ohara."

Robin suddenly shouted, "Get out of here! I'm not going anywhere. I went with them willingly! And you! You're not from Ohara at all, you imposter, get out of here!"

Robert smiled and said, "Since Miss Robin isn't leaving, then I won't leave either. Let's take us to Enies Lobby together."

Robin hurriedly explained, "It's true, I'm the only one left in Ohara. This guy has nothing to do with us at all; he's a liar!"

"In Alabasta, there is a Poneglyph that records information about the ancient weapon 'Pluton,' which is buried on an island in the New World. Am I right? Oh, and I also read the Poneglyph on Skypiea; it tells the story of 'Poseidon.'"

Robin's pupils dilated in shock. She was absolutely certain that Robert could not possibly have come from Ohara, but all the information Robert had provided was incredibly accurate. She simply couldn't explain how Robert knew the Poneglyphs!

Robin's expression was clearly visible to everyone in CP9. Robert smiled, shrugged, and said to Robin:

"So, Miss Robin, it doesn't matter whether I am a descendant of Ohara or not. The World Government doesn't care about Ohara at all."

"They are simply afraid that someone will be able to decipher the historical texts and uncover the truth about the lost 100 years!"

"And now, I can't stay out of it anymore, right?"

Chapter 27 A Gamble That Wasn't a Loss

The massive tsunami that ravages Water City every year is about to strike, giving this huge city built on the sea a sense of impending doom.

After proving himself with the information from the two Poneglyphs, Robert calmly found a flat spot to sit down.

Kaku said, "This saves us a lot of trouble. The thought of fighting such a troublesome opponent as a Logia-type is really giving me a headache."

Lucci sneered, "It's just elementalization. As long as we keep attacking, we'll eventually exhaust his stamina."

Robert nodded without refuting. If he hadn't improved his awakening level, he still wouldn't have dared to rely on walking into a trap to sneak into the core area of ​​Enies Lobby.

But honestly, he's not afraid of CP9 even if they come together now.

Bruno said, "It's about time. Let's go, Miss Robin. It's time to get back to what you need to do."

Robert sighed and said, "It's so windy outside, do we really have to go out now? Can't we just get some rest for the night?"

Bruno said, "We have our plans, and she's important in them. Are you going to stop us?"

Robert shrugged: "I just find it troublesome. I don't care what your plans are, but I promised my friend I would keep Robin safe, so I'm going with him."

After much hesitation, Robin did not continue to persuade Robert. In fact, from the moment he revealed the contents of the Poneglyphs, Robin was already quite certain that no matter how much she tried to exonerate him, the CP9 members would not let him go.

Bruno opened a portal, and the three of them appeared directly at the iceberg's residence.

The secretary and shipwrights around this iceberg, and all the key positions, have been riddled with holes by CP9, so they can sneak in silently even without using a portal.

Robert consciously stayed outside the door and didn't go in. After the attack on the iceberg was over, he yawned and walked through the portal like an unwilling overtime worker.

The place they arrived at was a house, which seemed to be the accommodation arranged for Robin by CP9.

Bruno seemed quite confident that Robin wouldn't run away, and after dropping the two off, he turned and left.

Robin was about to ask Robert a question when Robert pointed to the only bed in the room: "If you're not going to sleep, I'm going to rest first. We have tough battles to fight tomorrow and the day after, so I advise you to get some rest too."

Regardless of Robin's anxious expression, Robert went straight to sleep.

Seeing his carefree attitude, Robin could only grit her teeth in frustration, but there was nothing she could do.

Robert slept soundly until dawn, and as soon as he woke up, he saw Robin's bloodshot eyes.

"You didn't sleep all night, did you? Was I snoring?"

Robin was absolutely furious: "What the hell are you trying to do! Why are you meddling in other people's business! Do you think you're doing something noble?"
