One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

Once Robert disembarked, Moria seemed unwilling to linger even a second longer. He fiercely selected several slaves and forced them to set sail on the slave-catching ship.

Crocodile, fearless and undeterred by Robert's bizarre methods, showed no sign of backing down. Instead, he was surrounded by billowing sand, ready to make his move.

Robert carried his two troublesome subordinates and placed them next to a large reef.

"It's nice to see you two again."

Crocodile frowned: "Have we met before?"

Robert looked as if he had just remembered something, reached out and rubbed his face, revealing his true appearance.

"Do you remember now? We met in Marineford."

Crocodile's breathing became heavier, and without even a greeting, he slashed down with his desert sword.

Robert's body instantly transformed into elemental form, and he shook his head, wondering where Crocodile got such a great deal of resentment from.

However, Robert is now a big shot in his own right. He believes that if he hadn't wanted some peace and quiet after the Marineford War and thus faked his death, his bounty would probably be close to a billion dollars.

You, Crocodile, a former Shichibukai, can't even beat Luffy in Gear 1. How dare you be so arrogant as to attack me?

The Desert Blade was merely a close-range maneuvering move by Crocodile. Under the cover of the billowing sand, a golden hook covered in Armament Haki had already struck Robert.

Just as the golden hook struck Robert, Robert's body suddenly vanished, and a giant wooden barrel appeared out of thin air in his place.

Crocodile was caught off guard, and the barrel shattered with a crash, spilling water all over him and soaking him completely.

A golden spear pierced through his body, pinning Crocodile directly to the soft sand.

The injured Crocodile reacted extremely quickly, his body exploding into a shower of sand, shaking off the golden spear while simultaneously launching a smoke bomb on the battlefield, intending to hinder Robert's pursuit.

However, the scope of this sandstorm was insignificant compared to the six-kilometer radius spherical field that Robb was currently in. As Crocodile quietly reformed his form from the beach, Robb's electric shock of over a million volts had already struck his still-forming body.

Pure sand itself does not conduct electricity, but the high temperature from Robert's blow quickly burned the part that was struck by the current into a glassy state.

Crocodile's body immediately turned to sand and disappeared, but no matter where he reappeared, Robert would strike him with lightning the moment he did so.

A massive sandstorm began to form on the island. Crocodile was truly enraged. Robert vanished from the battlefield, waving his hand and saying:

"That's enough. We don't have any deep-seated grudges, why fight to the death?"

Crocodile's body appeared in the center of the sandstorm: "You bastard who threw shit on my head in Marineford! I will never let you get away with this!"

Even with Robert's rich imagination, he couldn't have guessed that Crocodile's reason for killing him the moment they met was this.

Back then, he was jumping around on the battlefield talking nonsense, using Celestial Dragons as punches and throwing poop at Marines, all to create a crazy persona for himself and to provoke Akainu into a fit of rage.

However, it must be admitted that the move of "Heavenly Auspiciousness" back then was indeed somewhat indiscriminate in its inability to distinguish friend from foe, and it is likely that any White Team member who rushed forward at the time could have gotten a bite.

Not to mention Crocodile and his gang of escaped convicts who fled Impel Down and ended up in the heart of Marineford with Luffy.

Robert's momentum instantly weakened: "I admit that what I did was indeed disgusting, but I didn't expect that pirates would appear directly in the Navy's territory. Is it too late for me to apologize?"

Crocodile was furious, but Robert had already proven his strength, and if they really fought, he might not come out on top.

So when Robert gave him the respect he deserved, Crocodile angrily withdrew his sandstorm.

Robert smiled and tried to get on your good side: "Speaking of which, I have some connection with you guys. When Baroque Works disbanded, you stayed at my shop for a while during Golden Week and Valentine's Day. We got along very well."

Crocodile squinted and remained silent. Mr. 1 walked up to Crocodile and looked at Robert with a scrutinizing gaze.

"They even gave me a painting before I left during the Golden Week holiday, and asked me to look for it..."

In a corner of the prop space, Robert pulled out a scroll. Once upon a time, he had treasured this painting as his trump card.

However, the most useless thing about this kind of prop is that it is difficult to make a comeback when you are weak, and once you become stronger, you can hardly use it anymore.

Now is the perfect time to ease the awkward atmosphere. After all, Crocodile is a ruthless man who will eventually form a team of Yonko (Emperors of the Sea). Having more friends is much better than having more enemies.

“Marianne mentioned you. Since you helped my people, I will not pursue the matter of Marineford.”

Robert smiled and said, "Then let's be friends. After all, we've fought together before, and who knows what kind of cooperation we might have in the future."

Crocodile scrutinized Robert: "Since you've decided to fake your death, why did you reveal your identity to me? Don't try to play tricks on me, just say what you have to say."

Robert felt somewhat wronged: "If your men hadn't specifically mentioned me, I should have already left with Moria's ship. What kind of conspiracy could I possibly have?"

Before Crocodile could speak, Robert suddenly turned his head and said, "And I have to remind you, someone escaped by boat from the other side of the island."

Crocodile didn't think Robert was lying to him. His body instantly turned into sand, creating a whirlwind as he rushed towards the other side of the island.

The island wasn't very big, only a little over a thousand acres in size. Crocodile took only a few seconds to cross the large number of temporary tents set up in the center of the island and reach the shore on the other side.

Just as Robert had said, a magnificent two-masted medium-sized ship had already weighed anchor and was heading out to sea.

Robert appeared beside him: "A verbal apology seems insincere. Consider these people as a small gift from me."

With a swift movement, Robert landed on the ship and immediately spotted Disco, the person in charge of the human auction house and the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Ronaldo and Ronaldinho.

Just as Robert was about to wipe out all the henchmen on the ship, he suddenly froze on the spot, staring at a small cage next to Disco, his eyes wide like saucers!

"I was so unlucky ever since I transmigrated here, turns out all my good luck has come together!"

"Aren't we invincible now?!"

Chapter 5 If you keep pestering me, don't blame me for selling you health supplements.

The guards on the ship were startled by Robert's sudden appearance. Before they could react, Robert had already killed everyone with a wide-range lightning strike.

Robert originally intended to use this disco to establish a connection with Doflamingo. Although Doflamingo had severed ties with the slave trade after Luffy's rampage in Sabaody Archipelago, Robert could still make a connection using this disco.

But when they saw the small cage on the ship, they knew that none of them could stay any longer.

The cage is very small, only 1.5 meters square, but it is made of sea stone.

Inside the cage was a small, terrified animal, huddled in a corner, trembling and clutching its tail.

Seeing the golden tail, Robert's breathing quickened. Although he considered himself a veteran One Piece fan, there were just too many characters in the One Piece world, and he might not even recognize some of the minor ones.

But when it comes to One Piece games, I've played every single one, and I know the original storylines and characters inside and out.

If I'm not mistaken, the creature locked in this cage is a super bug that would make me invincible—

The first One Piece game to appear on the 3DS platform in 14, Endless World R, features the tanuki-padon!

This game is relatively niche, and its storyline is completely different from the main game, which makes it uninteresting to many people.

However, the original characters in the game were all designed by Oda himself, and are officially recognized as strong!

This adorable animal, comparable to Chopper of the Straw Hat Pirates, is a monstrous creature that has eaten the Dog-Dog Fruit, a Mythical Zoan type, in its Tanuki form.

The fruit's ability is that as long as you use the pen it transforms into to write someone's name on a leaf, you can manifest a substitute with strength no weaker than the original to fight. In the story, the Marine Admiral Aokiji who was created by this ability directly wiped out an entire fully equipped Buster Call fleet!

Robert tried his best to put on a harmless expression: "Are you alright? I'll get you out of here right away!"

He took out a golden spear from the space, heated it, and inserted it into the keyhole on the cage, easily changing its golden shape to open the cage.

Seemingly frightened by Robert's appearance when he first boarded the ship, the small animal, which looked like a fat raccoon, still dared not come out even though the cage was opened.

Robert stepped back a few paces and sat on the deck: "I'm not a bad person. I've taken care of all the human traffickers outside. You're safe now, really."

After waiting for a while, it tentatively approached the cage.

Robert tentatively picked it up and placed it on his shoulder, his mouth almost reaching his temples in a grin: "It's fate that we met. You'll be with me from now on."

The little raccoon didn't dare to speak. Robert walked to the stern of the ship and shouted at Crocodile on the island, "I've killed everyone. I can't sail this ship back. You'll have to figure something out yourself."

Crocodile leaped into the air, his body turning into dust and drifting towards the ship.

Suddenly, a powerful slash came from the sea, splitting the sandstorm that Crocodile had transformed into in two!

Although the elemental body did not suffer any substantial damage, the sandstorm was instantly cleaved apart by the powerful sword energy, and for a moment it was unable to even reform into human form.

It was only then that Robert realized someone was approaching. He quickly turned around and looked in the direction from which the slash had come. A log was floating on the sea, and on the log stood an elegantly dressed old man.

Robert was just excited about getting a pet in the form of a raccoon dog when the real owner of the pet came knocking on his door.

Just by looking at his imposing appearance, you can tell that this old man is definitely the legendary swordsman Barolok Redfield, who is said to be able to take on the entire Whitebeard Pirates single-handedly!

The game's story doesn't mention how Redfield met the raccoon cat Padon, so Robert never imagined he would encounter them on the vast ocean.

But one thing is clear: Redfield had been imprisoned on the sixth level of Impel Down, and he escaped during Luffy's rampage in Impel Down.

In Robert's perception, Observation Haki was completely ineffective, as if Robert did not exist at all, and electromagnetic induction only produced a slight response when Robert actively probed for it.

Robert was already considering whether running away would be abrupt or not when a roar came from the sky.

"Redfield! You've gone too far!"

Crocodile's upper body remained humanoid, while his lower body formed a sand coil, and he floated in mid-air, roaring at Redfield.

Redfield remained elegant on the sea: "We meet again, Crocodile. We've both got our eyes on these human traffickers' valuables, so of course we'll each rely on our own abilities."

Robert said to Crocodile in the air, "You two are here for the money. I only want to rescue my kidnapped men, so I won't get involved here."

The two said in unison, "You can't leave!"

Crocodile, unusually, set aside his pride and explained, "The person who came is the Lone Red! He never travels with anyone, but with his strength alone, he is on par with two major forces, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates! We must join forces, or neither of us will escape!"

Redfield, riding the canoe, had already arrived beside Robert's boat and lightly leaped onto the deck.

You know me, right?

Robert instantly recalled Redfield's character setting: proficient in all three types of Haki, and due to his personality and upbringing, he had developed a rare mind-reading ability in his Observation Haki, allowing him to see through what others were thinking.

It was precisely because he had witnessed too much ugliness in people's hearts that he was unwilling to form a team with anyone and insisted on adventuring alone at sea.

Robert smiled and bowed politely: "Who wouldn't recognize the famous Lone Red?"

Redfield shook his head: "You're different. From the first moment you saw me, your reaction was very strange. It felt like you were plotting against me."

Just as Robert was about to argue, he heard him continue, "What's even more interesting is that I can't see through what you're thinking. How did you manage to do that?"

Crocodile also landed on the deck, and the three of them immediately formed a three-way standoff.

"It might be related to my Devil Fruit ability. You can't just not let me leave because you can't see through my heart, can you?"

Redfield smiled and drew his sword: "I need a ship to the New World, and I also need some money."

Crocodile didn't react, but Robert felt a chill run down his spine. The old man was ignoring him, but he had a feeling that the old man was about to do something to him.

The little raccoon on his shoulder clung tightly to Robert's neck, trembling all over. Each of the three people present exuded a powerful aura, making it impossible for him to breathe.
