One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

A dozen or so colonel-level officers plus a brigadier general provided him with over 10,000 experience points in just a few minutes. Sure enough, wherever Luffy is, there's leveling up.

The Navy was completely leaderless and began to flee under the attack of Luffy and his crew.

The three pirate captains exchanged a few harsh words and then each led their men to break through the encirclement.

"Robert! Come with us!"

Luffy is still very loyal; even when he was escaping, he still thought of calling Robert along.

Robert shook his head and said, "You guys go first. I still need to inform a few friends. Are you going to meet me at Mr. Ridley's bar? I'll go there to find you as soon as possible!"

When Luffy heard that Robert was going to rescue his friend, he didn't insist anymore. He nodded vigorously and led his men to jump onto the flying fish that came to pick them up.

Kidd grinned and said, "This is the kind of excitement you were talking about?"

Robert said confidently, "This is nothing. You don't think that taking down a few ordinary marines is the end of it. The main force of the navy hasn't even arrived yet."

Even the usually audacious Kidd and Law frowned. Law said with a serious face, "You don't mean to fight the upcoming admiral, do you? Is this the cooperation you've been talking about?"

Robert smiled and shook his head: "I do need to spar with Kizaru, but I won't involve you guys. The cooperation I'm talking about isn't happening now. I'll let you know when the time comes."

Robert's gaze suddenly drifted into the distance, and he casually gave Kidd a shove.

Kidd was physically very strong. When he saw Robert push him, he instinctively tensed up to resist. However, he instantly realized that Robert was not attacking him. He quickly adjusted his body and retreated backward with Robert's force.

Just as Robert and Kidd parted to the sides, a laser beam struck the spot where Kidd had been standing, causing a large cloud of mud and sand to erupt on the ground.

The three looked in the direction of the attack, and Law was the first to react: "Shichibukai! Bartholomew Kuma!"

Robert first addressed Kidd, saying, "Your magnetism should be able to detect metal, right? Didn't the robot notice you getting close?"

Then, looking at the enormous figure standing high above them, Robert's eyes gleamed with greed:

"This is not Tyrant, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but just a killing weapon made based on him."

Kidd didn't care who he was. He had only managed to dodge the attack thanks to Robert's reminder, which made him lose face. He immediately used his magnetic force to attract all the weapons around him in preparation for a counterattack.

Robert pulled Luo aside and said, "Go find Karina first. She'll handle the rest. Leave this to me and this big idiot."

Luo squinted: "Remember your promise. From now on, I need you to help me deal with someone unconditionally."

Robert: Young people from two years ago were so easy to fool. If they help me deal with Doflamingo later, they'll have to thank me.

Chapter 54 As I Have Heard

The entire Sabaody Archipelago was in chaos. Did Luffy and his crew beat up a Celestial Dragon? As a result, news of the impending arrival of a Marine Admiral instantly reached the ears of all the pirates.

The pirates all looked like they were facing imminent disaster, scrambling to prepare to sail out to sea for refuge.

Kizaru casually stood with his hands in his pockets, surrounded by a scene of utter chaos. Four supernovas worth over 100 million lay dead in the ruins, their fates unknown.

Haiming Ap and Chiqi Derek were lying on the street, while the eccentric monk Ulki was crushed under a collapsed building.

The worst off was Magician Hawkins. Because he had used straw substitutes to avoid Kizaru's attacks many times before, Kizaru took special care of him and directly pierced his body with a laser beam.

Had the Den Den Mushi not interrupted his subsequent attack, Hawkins would have been killed by him because he had no excuse to hold back.

Kizaru leisurely pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his person, saying nonchalantly, "Moshi moshi~ This is Borsalino~"

But instead of the expected Sentomaru's voice, the voice from the other end came in a panicked report: "Reporting, Admiral! We've been attacked by pirates!"

Kizaru narrowed his eyes: "Where's Sentomaru? Who are you?"

The person on the other end said in a panic, "I am a naval lieutenant commander stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago. Captain Sentomaru gave me this Den Den Mushi to inform you of the current battle situation!"

Kizaru ignored the Supernovas scattered all over the ground: "What's the situation over there now?"

The opposing navy officer explained earnestly:

"We encountered Robert D. Nilu, a pirate with a bounty of 400 million Berries, and Kid, with a bounty of 315 million Berries. One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Tyrant, stepped forward to fight, and Kucha immediately unleashed a beam of light that exploded with a bang!"

"Kidd was blown around and rolled around, but Robert flew up in a flash."

"The tyrant emitted light waves from his palm, crackling and blasting him. Robert darted around, dodging everywhere, when suddenly, with a snap, a huge gold bar appeared!"

"That pinned the tyrant to the ground! Then Robert stood on that huge gold bar and started blasting electricity, making the tyrant crackle and spark!"

"The tyrant was electrocuted to death just like that, and his arm was even dislocated and taken by Kidd. Then he ran away in a flash. We couldn't catch up, so we had to go somewhere else first."

"We ran into Captain Sentomaru, who told us to lead the way to Robert, saying that three of the four pacifists he brought had been killed. So we chased him all the way to Island 12."

"There's another tyrant here, attacking the Straw Hat crew. Robert suddenly appears, and with a whoosh, a giant bolt of lightning strikes the tyrant on the head, making it hiss and smoke!"

"Captain Sentomaru ordered us to attack, and that Robert pulled out a handful of marbles and started shooting them all away, scattering them all."

"That tyrant on Island 12 was electrocuted and bounced around on the spot. Robert Kuokku beat him up and even ripped his head off."

"Now Captain Sentomaru has given me the Den Den Mushi and asked me to report the situation to you. He then rushed up to fight that Robert."

"I don't know if you can understand what I'm describing?"

Kizaru's voice rang out from behind the Marines: "Your description is very detailed. I understand it as if I were there. Go back and report directly to the communications unit."

The naval lieutenant commander was so startled he almost dropped the Den Den Mushi. When he turned around and saw that it really was Admiral Kizaru speaking, he excitedly gave a military salute.

In the distance, Sentomaru, carrying a large axe, was fighting someone. Kizaru could see clearly that the pirate was actually weaker than Sentomaru in every aspect, but he gave the impression that he wasn't using his full strength and was instead using Sentomaru as a sparring partner.

Luffy and his crew were all panting heavily when they saw Kizaru suddenly appear, and they immediately became tense.

"Robert! Run! The enemy is coming again!"

They had a very difficult time fighting the pacifists before; even with everyone fighting together, they couldn't defeat him until Robert arrived on horseback and finally killed him.

As for Sentomaru, Luffy exchanged two blows with him but could only take hits and couldn't even launch a decent attack. It was Robert who took over the fight.

Now that they see Kizaru arrive, even if they don't know his identity, they can tell from his clothes and the attitude of the Marine that he must be a person of high status in the Marines. In the Marines, status often represents strength.

Robert glanced at his attributes:

[Level 12 (98200/204800)]

He just killed four pacifists, each of whom gave him 4 experience points, but compared to the exponentially increasing experience points he's gaining for leveling up, it's still a drop in the ocean.

The good news is that the Pacifistas, who have rendered almost all supernovas helpless, are like a gift to him, who has eaten the Rumble-Rumble Fruit; the power of electricity to destroy robots is devastating.

After Robert and Kidd took down the first pacifist, they figured out the robot's internal structure. Although they couldn't understand the principles at all, they didn't need to rebuild the robot. They only needed to figure out where the power core was and how it output energy.

Later on, dealing with pacifists was a breeze; high-voltage current could easily short-circuit them.

The fact that Sentomaru killed four Pacifistas only reflects the number of Sabaody Archipelago islands he brought, not the limit of his abilities.

[Attacks or dodges performed based on intuition: 9/10]

Sentomaru's Armament Haki is no ordinary level. He can not only attack enemies with Armament Haki from about a meter away, but also infuse power into the enemy's body to cause damage. This is the effect of Ryuo, which appeared in Wano Country in the late game.

Robert deliberately avoided using his Devil Fruit powers to attack him, especially by suppressing his electronic senses within his mental field, relying solely on his mental abilities to dodge and attack. He had just narrowly escaped one of Sentomaru's attacks.

The appearance of Kizaru made everyone else feel like they were facing a formidable enemy, but Robert was not too worried. This old Kizaru was the best at taking it easy and letting others have their way. As long as Robert and Sentomaru had not yet decided who was the victor, he would not lower himself to attack Robert from both sides.

With a slash of his great axe, Robert was caught off guard and his body was grazed by the axe blade. He could only mitigate the damage by transforming into his elemental form.

Just as he was relieved that Sentomaru hadn't imbued his axe with Haki, his left hand, hidden behind his back, suddenly unleashed a punch aimed straight at Robert's face.

A switch inside his body was triggered in an instant, and Robert realized in a daze that the trajectory of Sentomaru's punch was exactly what he expected.

With a slight turn of his body, the punch that Sentomaru considered a sure-kill grazed Robert's hair, while Robert's palm, crackling with electricity, was already pressed against Sentomaru's armpit!

[Reward Trial: Awakening of Observation Haki Completed]

Chapter 55 Everyone else took pictures of you but not me?

Robert no longer suppressed his electronic senses. The moment his awakened Observation Haki combined with his electronic senses, a chemical reaction quietly occurred!

All life activities within the mental field were captured by Robert. Unlike the previous remote sensing of electrons, this perception is now more three-dimensional.

Before he could unleash his lightning attack on Sentomaru, Robert vanished from his spot, and a bright light flashed past where he had been standing.

All those present saw lightning and thunder within a radius of several hundred meters, with sparks constantly being generated in mid-air, but they were pierced by beams of light as soon as they appeared.

The air within a radius of several hundred meters was filled with the scent of a thunderstorm, and the flashes of light and intense beams of light made it impossible for most people to even open their eyes.

Just as Robert gained the upper hand and prepared to attack Sentomaru, Kizaru made his move.

He and Vegapunk adopted Sentomaru together. He could watch Robert and Sentomaru fight evenly, but he couldn't stand by and watch Sentomaru be in danger.

So when Robert dodged Sentomaru's confident attack and seized the moment after the attack's recovery to launch a counterattack, Kizaru made his move.

Robert's newly awakened Observation Haki couldn't even detect Kizaru's movements. Kizaru was a seasoned expert whose Observation Haki was far superior to Robert's half-baked level, which he had only awakened for a moment. Kizaru's speed with the Glint-Glint Fruit was also far superior to Robert's.

Although Robert couldn't control Kizaru's movements, he could sense the danger he was in. Unlike when he encountered Shanks before, when Shanks actively locked onto him with his aura, this time the danger was something he actively discovered.

Robert immediately abandoned his attack and instantly teleported to a distance in his elemental form, but the beam of light followed him relentlessly, and no matter how he moved, he could not shake it off.

As expected, Robert was now testing his hypothesis in intensive experimentation.

First, there was the disordered movement. Robert tried to empty his mind as much as possible, and he didn't make any plans for where he would teleport. He just moved randomly within the range of his mental coverage, sometimes forward, sometimes upward, sometimes only one or two meters, and sometimes hundreds of meters.

Ever since Bruno captured him with the Door-Door Fruit, Robert has changed his bad habit of moving in a straight line and always moving the maximum distance when fighting enemies. Now, this disorderly dodging is an upgraded version of what he did against Kizaru.

Kizaru, transformed into a beam of light, followed Robert and quickly understood Robert's intentions. It seemed that he was trying to prove something to Robert. Kizaru changed his movement trajectory slightly, no longer chasing him, but intentionally intercepting him.

Both Robert and Kizaru move in a linear fashion. Robert moves by piercing the air, while Kizaru moves by extending beams of light. Both have a path of movement, but their speed is so fast that it looks as if they disappear from the origin and instantly reappear at the destination.

Now that Kizaru has changed his pursuit method, Robert immediately realized that his first guess had failed. His superior Observation Haki was not capturing thoughts, but sensing something else mysterious and profound, and he could still guess where Kizaru would land.

Kizaru even had the leisure to walk alongside Robert to some extent, calmly chasing him in mid-air while smiling at him.

Robert smiled as well. Just as Kizaru overtook him and turned around to charge at him, a huge mirror suddenly appeared in front of Robert.

The light emanating from Kizaru was instantly refracted. Although he reacted extremely quickly, immediately appearing and changing his pursuit direction, Robert still managed to return to Island 12 where Luffy and the others were.

"Run! I can't beat this guy at all!"

Unlike the original storyline, Luffy and his crew did not immediately decide to split up and escape because Robert took care of all the Pacifistas.

Especially now that Robert has taken over all the formidable enemies, they are even less likely to abandon him and leave.

They hadn't even seen what happened when Robert suddenly vanished from his spot, transforming into a bolt of lightning that traversed the entire archipelago.

Now that the beam of light chasing him had been shaken off, Robert gave the signal to run away again, and the Straw Hat crew no longer hesitated.

Luffy shouted, "Everyone! Split up and run!"

No one dared to delay, so they split into several groups and began to flee.
