One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

"I originally wanted to take a gamble and let my father eat it before he died. Although the conflict between the two Devil Fruit abilities would cause the body to collapse, my father would be dead by then. The result would be that Blackbeard would not be able to obtain either ability due to the conflict, or both abilities would remain in his body. Blackbeard would only have a 50% chance of obtaining the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. The only thing I didn't expect was that he could have three Devil Fruit abilities at the same time."

In fact, the Blackbeard Pirates' flag is already a very obvious foreshadowing; Blackbeard will most likely be able to eat three Devil Fruits at the same time.

"What follows is basically a personal feud between me and Akainu. After this battle, Sengoku will most likely step down. I can't let Akainu become the new Fleet Admiral."

"So I first had people spread rumors about him in Marineford, and then tricked him into killing a Celestial Dragon himself. But I was worried that this wouldn't be enough to stop his advancement, so I arranged a final move: first, I used Seastone to control his elementalization ability, and then I crippled him."

Marco said angrily, "You have the nerve to say that? You didn't even tell us about the last attack beforehand!"

Robert chuckled and scratched his head: "My two allies and Shanks knew beforehand. First, there was Law. I deliberately lured Akainu to the ice, and Law's submarine was lurking below us. When that high-energy ion beam hit me, Law used the Op-Op Fruit to sever my body, pulling my upper body into his cabin. Then I asked Mr. Shanks to help me get my lower body back."

Suddenly Robert's face stiffened: "Oh no! I forgot about Kidd!"

Marco asked in confusion, "Who is Kidd?"

"Kid is another ally of mine. He's a user of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit. The attack that injured Akainu was launched using Kid's Devil Fruit ability. But that weapon could probably drain Kid dry in one hit. He's still waiting for me to find him in the first half of the Grand Line!"

Ace patted Robert on the shoulder: "We're going to bury Daddy's body. Go pick up your friends first, then come and join us as soon as possible. Luffy will be overjoyed to know you're still alive."

Shanks suddenly spoke up: "Don't tell him Robert isn't dead yet. Luffy has had it too easy before. If he doesn't experience some setbacks and change his mindset, it will be difficult for him to become a true strongman."

Robert frowned as he looked at Shanks. He increasingly suspected that Ace's death was tacitly approved by these old members of the Roger Pirates. Shanks arrived late, and Rayleigh was right there but didn't go to rescue him.

Now that Ace is alive, he can become Luffy's spiritual test.

"I have no objection."

Robert's straightforward attitude pleased Shanks: "The Red-Haired Pirates can guarantee that the fact that you are still alive will never be revealed. As for the Whitebeard Pirates, only Ace and Marco know about it right now. As for your allies, you'll have to find a way to shut them up."

Robert nodded seriously: "The allies I found are quite reliable, don't worry."

After greeting the people on the ship, Robert vanished and returned to his submarine.

Luo, clutching his knife, said, "I've done everything I promised you. Now that I need you to keep your promise, where am I supposed to find you?"

Robert led Karina to the submarine deck: "Don't you have Karina's Den Den Mushi? And I think I'll contact you before you come to collect your debt and give you a big surprise."

He scooped Karina up in his arms, and the two of them vanished into the submarine as lightning. Bepo, the white bear, looked visibly shaken.

"Captain, are we going to be silenced?"

Luo looked at his deputy: "I'm tight-lipped anyway, so I shouldn't be silenced by them, right? Are you tight-lipped?"

Bepo swallowed hard: "I'm tight-lipped too!"

Luo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Cooperation can only be achieved when values ​​are matched. We can't afford to fall too far behind."

"Let's go, to the new world!"

Chapter 2 I Want to Raise a Little Rabbit

Karina had never experienced such a fantastical way of traveling before; she felt dazzled and her mind couldn't keep up with the changing scenery.

When Robert put her down, Karina couldn't help feeling nauseous and leaned against the tree to vomit.

Robert had just awakened the third stage of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, gaining the limited ability to assimilate his surroundings.

Karina trusted Robert a great deal, and there was little resistance to manipulating his body to become elemental together, which allowed him to move at high speed like lightning with her.

Facing Aokiji and Akainu, Robert restrained himself from testing the effects of this new ability against them, as his future plans included contacting them under a different identity.

[Level 17 (18200/6553600)]

The experience points were calculated when Shanks brought Shanks onto the ship.

Robert's three-level promotion did not meet his expectations. He not only injured a large number of mid-level marines with his electric shock, but also fought a real battle with Akainu and Aokiji respectively.

Although there were some flaws in this battle against the Admirals—Akainu was injured and weakened, and Whitebeard was there to hold off Aokiji—he still fought a real, hard-fought battle against them.

Looking at the exponentially increasing experience required to level up, Robert was a little scared. He was only level 25 now. According to Ace's description, wasn't the level cap 50? How did those top players in the world level up?

I distributed the 30 newly acquired free attribute points evenly, and my strength attribute also broke through the maximum value of 50 points.

If your Strength stat exceeds 50 points, you can choose one of the following Strength-based skill branches.

[Power Fusion (Rare Option): Your melee attacks will deal combined physical and elemental damage to enemies, and damage reduction calculations will be forced to take into account the enemy's weakest point in their defense.]

[Power Suppression (Prerequisite skill: Focused Power Advanced Option!): When your power is greater than your opponent's, your physical attacks will have an additional crushing effect (damage increases by 10% for every 1 point of power you have over your opponent). When your power is less than or equal to your opponent's, you will always gain 30% physical damage reduction.]

For the first time, Robert was caught in a dilemma. He could make quick judgments when his endurance and mental strength broke through their limits, and the advantages of the advanced options based on the prerequisite skills were obvious. However, Robert wanted both rewards for breaking through the limits of strength.

Power interference is equivalent to always being able to attack the enemy's weaknesses. If the enemy has strong physical defense, the damage is calculated based on magic resistance; if the enemy has high magic resistance, the damage is calculated based on physical defense.

However, the power suppression attribute is hard to give up. In the later stages of the One Piece world, the combat mode is basically close combat. If you were to face a monster like Kaido, a 30% damage reduction could be a lifesaver.

Robert gritted his teeth. Offense is the best defense. With the power of his Rumble-Rumble Fruit, mixed damage would be the greatest boost to his abilities.

Looking at the latest attribute panel, Robert could no longer hide his joy.

[Overall Assessment: You are infamous on the high seas, yet you quietly withdrew with a brilliant plan. With your formidable strength, you now possess sufficient power to protect yourself. Whether you form a team to join the competition for the One Piece or retire gracefully to enjoy a carefree life is a decision you must make.]

[You experienced the Marineford War, greatly increasing your reputation. When you appear as Robert D. Neru, your reputation increases by 5.]

Since I transmigrated, I've been constantly busy, mainly because I'm just too weak.

Now that the dust has settled at Marineford, I am finally strong enough to protect myself. In fact, as long as I don't recklessly challenge opponents of the level of the Four Emperors or the Five Elders, I will be in no danger.

Moreover, he finally broke the predetermined plot and saved Ace from certain death!

As for the One Piece, I don't want to be the Pirate King, so let whoever wants to fight for it fight for it.

Karina gagged for a while, then looked at Robert with a resentful expression: "I never want to experience that feeling again in my life. What did you do to me?"

Robert smiled and said, "It's nothing, it just took you from the New World back to the Sabaody Archipelago in a few seconds."

Karina exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible!"

Robert was in high spirits: "What's impossible about that? Your boss is now a man who can stand up to a Marine Admiral head-on. If you want, I can take you around the world in a very short time."

Karina shook her head repeatedly in fright: "No need, I'd rather just stay on the boat!"

She looked around: "This isn't the Sabaody Archipelago, is it?"

Robert nodded and said, "This is a deserted island not far from the Sabaody Archipelago. The pointer indicates that the ship I'm temporarily storing with Kidd is anchored on this island."

Karina immediately noticed something was wrong: "Are you on guard against Kid?"

Robert shrugged: "Actually, I trust Kidd quite a bit, but it's best to keep my faked death a secret as little as possible. Kidd's men have already arrived on the island."

Karina asked cautiously, "Boss, you don't mean for me to go and inform Kidd, do you?"

Robert nodded: "Yes, go find Kidd and tell him the deal is done and he can leave. Don't worry, if they turn on me and try to take over my ship, I'll wipe them all out immediately."

Karina angrily put her hands on her hips: "Boss, what do you mean? It's just a wrecked ship! Shouldn't you be more worried about me?"

Robert's expression was somewhat strange: "Karina, you have to believe me, you are indeed more important to me, but I think it would be difficult for anyone other than me not to have stronger evil intentions towards that ship."

Although Karina was still angry, she had complete confidence in Robert's abilities. He was a man who had proven himself in the Marineford War, and if Kidd were to turn against her, Robert would definitely be able to protect her.

But this confidence didn't even last ten minutes; it vanished the moment Robert saw the ship he had mentioned.

Karina was breathing heavily. She never expected that the ship Robert had mentioned, which was entrusted to Kidd, was actually inlaid with gold everywhere!

Kidd sat on a reef not far from the Ark's Proverb, while his first mate, Killer, was wiping his twin swords beside him. The ground was covered in blood, and several pirate-dressed corpses lay on it.

As soon as Karina stepped out of the woods, Kidd spotted her and quickly leaped from the rocks, startling Karina into standing still.

Kidd strode towards Karina, his face showing embarrassment and guilt: "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to..."

Karina was stunned. She thought Kidd was about to turn hostile and almost shouted for Robert to save her. She never expected the arrogant Kidd to have this attitude.

Having spent years deceiving people, Karina had long since developed her own methodology, and Robert's guide to deception also contained similar notes: listen more and talk less, and first observe what the other person really means.

"Robert said he would create the best possible attack environment for me, keeping Akainu in an unprotected and isolated position, and restricting his movement so I could launch my attack. But I never expected that, to ensure he couldn't move, Robert would actually..."

"The distance was too far at the time, and my aiming was entirely based on magnetic guidance. I just received the magnetic signal from Robert, and then aimed and fired in the direction of the sensing."

"I only recently found out that that attack actually hit him too..."

Karina's expression turned strange; Kidd actually thought Robert was dead.

"In short, I'm the one who wronged him. This ship was left to you by Robert. I killed all his men who had ulterior motives. I can help you sell all the gold on the ship and send you to the South China Sea to live a peaceful life..."

Karina feigned tears, saying, "No need. Your deal with him is done. You can go. I'll find a way to sail away on this ship that holds so many wonderful memories for us."

Kidd was about to say something more when Karina covered her face with one hand and pointed to the sea with the other: "Please, just let me have some peace and quiet!"

Kidd gritted his teeth and left a Den Den Mushi, saying, "Contact me anytime if you encounter any difficulties in the future."

After saying that, he turned and left, quickly boarding his pirate ship with his crew and setting sail.

Robert appeared beside Karina with a strange look on his face. He knew Kidd was simple-minded, but he didn't expect him to be so insightful.

"I feel a little sorry for him."

Karina's attention was entirely focused on the Ark's Proverb: "If you really felt sorry for him, you should have just shown up and told him you weren't dead."

Robert chuckled lightly: "I'm sorry, but I finally managed to cancel the bounty. Who knows if that idiot will go around telling everyone?"

Karina pointed to Ark Maxim: "Boss, is that really gold on the ship? Can I come aboard and take a look?"

Robert chuckled and said, "Didn't you just say you never wanted to experience elementalization again? There's no ladder on this ship."
