One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Although Robert's mirror reflected light for a moment, Kizaru only needed to react slightly before instantly closing the distance between them.

This time he didn't hold back. He seized the brief pause between Robert's two teleportations and kicked him away.

"I heard you used this move of mine to send Aokiji flying before. Hehehe, that made me look good. This time, I'll show you what a real light-speed kick looks like."

This kick was imbued with Armament Haki. Robert felt as if he had been hit by a speeding dump truck while crossing a highway, and it felt as if several of his sternums had been broken.

Zoro, seeing Robert, who had been kicked away and whose life was unknown, gritted his teeth, stopped, drew his sword, and charged at Kizaru.

Before he could even get close, a beam of light had already pierced through his body.

The familiar scene played out again, except this time Robert and Zoro lay side by side, Kizaru's left foot, imbued with Armament Haki, was on Robert's back, while the bright light from his right foot was pointed at the fallen Zoro.

Robert wasn't pretending to be dead on the ground; he was genuinely weak. He had just taken a kick from Kizaru, and even if his ribs weren't broken, he was definitely suffering internal injuries. His entire chest was burning with pain.

Fortunately, Rayleigh didn't stand idly by just because there was another one of him. He rushed out and interrupted Kizaru's super long charge-up, and they fought each other.

Next up was the real Bartholomew Kuma, who, fueled by Luffy's resentment, began to slap his crew members away one by one, leaving them nowhere to be seen.

The first to suffer was Zoro, who had just been lying next to Robert, followed by Brook, who joined the Straw Hat crew last.

Robert used an electric current to burn away multiple internal bleeding points in his body, and struggled to his feet, just in time to see Usopp and Sanji being sent flying one after the other.

Luffy charged forward like a madman, trying to stop his companions from being defeated one by one, but was easily knocked to the ground by Kuma, who also knocked away Franky who was counterattacking.

Robert appeared in front of the trembling Nami with a flash, his eyes fixed on the approaching Tyrant. If he had to choose the place he would most like to be blasted away to, it would be the small sky island that Nami later arrived at, where the scientist Robert was very interested.

With a flick of his arm, Nami vanished instantly, his arm passing through the elementalized Robert, leaving him stranded in place.

The scene fell silent in an instant. Fortunately, Chopper, in his berserk state, rushed over unconsciously because there weren't many people around, which averted the awkward situation. However, he was immediately slapped away and disappeared without a trace.

Robert panicked when he saw that only Luffy and Robin remained at the scene.

"Are you treating me differently because I didn't agree to join the Straw Hat Pirates before?!"

Chapter 56 The Dust Settles

Robert once again stepped forward and stood in front of Robin. The Bridge Kingdom it is, even though it's a bit far, it's better than staying in the Sabaody Archipelago and being captured by Kizaru, who couldn't find an excuse to let him go.

As the bear swung its paw, Robin suddenly rushed out from behind Robert, shoved Robert aside, and took the initiative to meet the blow!

Robert was stunned. In order to take this slap, unlike when he stood in front of Nami earlier and was passed through like air, he had deliberately controlled his elemental form. He never expected that Robin would just shove him away with her little hand!

Luffy's mentality had collapsed at this point. Watching his companions, who had shared joys and sorrows with him, disappear one by one before his eyes was a devastating blow to him.

Robert, the only survivor, was like the last straw for Luffy. In a trembling voice, Luffy cried out, "Robert! Run! Please!"

This statement seemed to confirm Robert's identity. Just as Robert looked at Luffy with a helpless expression, Kuma silently appeared behind Robert and gently waved his hand.

The scenery before him seemed to fly backward like a kaleidoscope, and Robert felt a surge of excitement.

[Level 12 (143200/204800)]

After battling Sentomaru and Kizaru repeatedly, and even taking a blow from Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Robert gained a great deal of experience, though he didn't know how it was calculated.

Most importantly, now that the experience has been calculated, it means the battle is completely over. I have gained enough benefits from the Sabaody Archipelago and successfully escaped!

He gained a lot from this experience, not only racking up hundreds of thousands of experience points, but also finally awakening his Observation Haki. In particular, the chase with Kizaru made him feel that he was one step closer to the next stage of his Devil Fruit awakening.

Thinking about all this, I felt the pain from Kizaru's kick lessen considerably.

Suddenly, Robert seemed to realize something: where exactly was his destination?

If things went according to the original order, I would be replacing Luffy's original position. Damn, I might get blasted all the way to Amazon Lily!

What if I took over Luffy's storyline and fell in love at first sight with Boa Hancock, the so-called most beautiful woman in the world, on Amazon Lily?

Are you suggesting that he be included in your intimate interactions with the Empress as a rubber product?

Lost in thought, Robert crashed into the exterior wall of a building. His body instantly transformed into elements, avoiding the impact damage.

Robert looked closely, and his dream shattered instantly.

Although he couldn't be sure exactly where he had been sent flying by the bear's paw, he was certain that this modern urban environment was definitely not the Nine Serpents Island where the Empress resided!

Robert chuckled self-deprecatingly. He was already quite lucky to have escaped safely. He had actually been fantasizing about the opportunity to replace Luffy. It was like a man craving snail noodles and dreaming of eating farts.

Instead of indulging in wishful thinking, it would be better to focus on your next plan, since there's only a week left until the Marineford War.

Just as Robert was about to transform into his elemental form and leave the island, a figure with ill intentions suddenly appeared in his senses.

Before awakening Observation Haki, Robert could only sense the electronic activity within his mental field. This sensing was mechanical, neutral, and objective.

But now, the combination of Observation Haki and electronic sensing means that the range of perception remains the same, but the information acquisition is more three-dimensional. It's like 1+1=GAY!

The man was tall and wore a tattered cloak. He seemed to have been attracted by the commotion caused by Robert's landing.

The moment I turned the corner and saw Robert, I was like a beast spotting its prey!

Robert couldn't understand why this person, who clearly didn't know his own background, seemed to be inherently hostile to everything.

However, Robert didn't hesitate at all and raised his hand to strike with lightning.

The attacker convulsed and smoked from being electrocuted, his huge mouth opening as he screamed in agony, unintentionally pointing his mouth towards the electric arc emitted by Robert.

The man was initially powerless to fight back from the electric shock, but the moment his mouth touched the arc of electricity, it was as if he had swallowed Robert's tens of thousands of volts of high-voltage current, and his body was no longer harmed.

Robert frowned, stopped the electric shocks, and ceased his futile efforts.

The man finally caught his breath, and electricity began to surge through his body. He burst into wild laughter:

"I didn't expect you to be so capable! But you deserve to run into me! Now die!"

Although Robert was surprised that his enemy could control the power of lightning while neutralizing his attacks, since this person wanted to kill him, he would just kill him and then investigate the reason.

He flashed behind him, and a lightning channel instantly formed. The golden spear, carrying immense kinetic energy, pierced through the head beneath the cloak the moment it appeared!

[Level 12 (183200/204800)]

Robert glanced at the experience points instinctively and involuntarily shuddered.

"I just killed a top-tier player who could provide 40,000 experience points?"

Keep in mind that the Pacifistas, who made the entire Straw Hat Pirates scream in terror and required Law and Kid to barely defeat, only provided a mere 20,000 experience points.

But this guy who just inexplicably attacked Robert and was instantly killed by him is actually worth two pacifists!

Looking at the corpse whose head he had blown off, Robert was momentarily dazed.

"His head was smashed so badly that only a metal chin remained. It can devour attacks to strengthen itself. Damn, the person I just casually killed was the host of the Gluttony Fruit! The former king of the Drum Kingdom, Wapol!"

Speaking of Wapol, he is absolutely the worst of the worst. When Robert watched the scene where Chopper joined the crew, he was so angry he could have punched him.

However, later on, Wapol was only knocked away. He even used the power of the Gluttony Fruit to create something called Wapol Metal, became a super-rich man, and even married Miss Universe.

Letting such scum live a good life is more painful than making Robert eat shit. I don't know if the world's will responded to Robert's subconscious, but it actually made him kill Wapol, this cancer, in this way.

The only pity is that this Gluttony Fruit, which has great development potential, will reappear somewhere again after I used this move.

But Robert had no time to think about these things. He took out a permanent pointer from his spatial storage and looked into the distance.

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

"Hey, have you heard? Almost all of this year's Supernovas have been wiped out!"

"Who said that? Even if Admiral Kizaru casually defeated four Supernovas, did he leave without capturing them after receiving an emergency distress call? All four of them have already been rescued by his subordinates."

"Kizaru went to capture a few more Supernovas. I heard that he teamed up with one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Tyrant, and wiped out Robert, whose bounty was 4 million Berries, and the entire Straw Hat Pirates, whose combined bounty exceeded 5 million Berries! They were completely wiped out, leaving no trace of their bodies!"

Rumors are rampant on the Sabaody Archipelago. After a great upheaval, it seems that only by talking about the pirates who suffered even worse fates can everyone temporarily forget their own losses.

In a dilapidated storefront, Ah San was directing Da Luo and Xiao Luo to move building materials and rebuild the heavily damaged shop they had just bought at a super low price.

"You guys seem pretty sure Robert isn't dead. How come it feels like I'm the only one being kept in the dark?"

Without saying a word, Luo walked towards the nearby dock, where the Heart Pirates' submarine was moored.

Seeing him about to leave, Kidd was furious: "Wait! Wasn't that bastard supposed to make a deal with us? Are you just going to leave like this?"

Luo smiled slightly: "I'm going to fulfill my deal with him. This plan is really crazy. If I had known it was this kind of deal, I wouldn't have refused in the first place."

Kidd was even angrier: "I told you you were all keeping it from me! That bastard Robert, I'll kill him if I ever see him again!"

After Karina and the others finished explaining Robert's mission to him, they quickly caught up with him.

“Mr. Kidd, our boss said you need to hurry up and study that weapon. He'll come to pick you up in person within a week at the latest—”

"Go and attend the most spectacular event of our time!"

Chapter 57 The dust hasn't settled yet.

The riots in the Sabaody Archipelago should have been a world-shaking event: the Celestial Dragons were defeated, the Admirals were mobilized, and the Supernovas were almost completely wiped out. Any one of these events could have given Morgans plenty of material to make a fuss about.

But when people around the world picked up their newspapers, they found that the Sabaody Archipelago incident was relegated to the corner of page three, and had not even received a decent amount of publicity.

Morgans was experiencing both pain and pleasure; he was now extremely grateful that he had reached an agreement with Robert, who was truly making headlines.

Predicting in advance that the Navy would obtain Ace and execute him, the Navy issued an announcement within a few days. Thanks to Robert's reminder, the news that broke in the newspapers was much more detailed than the official announcement provided by the Navy.

As soon as they said they were going to cause a huge uproar, the Sabaody Archipelago immediately descended into chaos. If it weren't for the other news being so sensational at the same time, the chaos in the Sabaody Archipelago alone would have been enough to make several headlines.

After that, although many people were saying that Robert was dead, no one, whether from the legitimate or criminal world, could find any more information about him.

Only those who have made an alliance with him firmly believe that he must be hiding somewhere, waiting to create an even bigger scandal.

Morgans was also certain that Robert was not dead, but he hadn't had time to think about him lately because he was overwhelmed by the news every day. Just as Robert had promised, there were major events happening almost every day.

First, the Whitebeard Pirates went berserk, launching attacks on both Kaido and Charlotte Linlin, two of the Four Emperors, before the Navy had even announced Ace's impending execution.

The battle progressed quickly, and the two Yonko were completely stunned. They both took the initiative to negotiate with Whitebeard, but the negotiations seemed to have broken down. The battle not only did not end, but a major battle also broke out between the Big Mom Pirates and the Beasts Pirates.

Then several naval bases in the New World were attacked. The problem is that no one has claimed responsibility for the series of attacks, and even the Navy is still clueless. They don't even know who the attackers are or what their purpose is.

The Navy, which was originally supposed to reinforce Marineford, was caught up in the New World to prevent a massive battle between the Four Emperors and dared not act rashly. Now, they even need to request reinforcements from headquarters to defend against the potential threat posed by the Four Emperors' battle.

As time passed, the day of Ace's execution quietly arrived.

Marineford was on high alert. Although they had received news early in the morning that the main force of the Whitebeard Pirates had appeared on the battlefield of the Four Emperors' battle, and that Whitebeard had even personally taken action to repel Jack the Drought, the top lieutenant of the Beasts Pirates.

But all the high-ranking naval officers knew that the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely come to rescue Ace!

Anyone with a bit of sense in the world knows that no matter how much trouble the Whitebeard Pirates cause in the New World, it's all just a smokescreen. The moment the public execution begins, they will definitely be at Marineford!
