One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

But when he actually got involved, watching people with all their attributes compressed to toy size work through the night, and how the slightest mistake would result in a beating from the overseer, Robert realized that this wasn't a comic book world, with so many comedic scenes mixed in; the underlying tone of One Piece was extremely tragic.

Robert didn't cause any trouble that night; he simply completed his work and then followed the dazed army of toys into the tunnel, returning to the surface through the Toy House.

Dressrosa is even more lively today because Karina's concert is about to begin tonight, and the entire kingdom has been hyping up this grand event for the past month.

Robert felt a long-lost fatigue in his body. His basic attributes hadn't been this low in a long time. After a night of intense work, all he wanted to do was find a place to sleep.

Fortunately, toys are a unique feature of this country, and there are plenty of toys lying around on the streets, so Robert lying in the grass doesn't seem out of place.

Robert didn't sleep very well; he only rested for a few hours before waking up before lunch.

He has another very important task today: he must earn some money.

Last night, Robert asked the rabbit toy a lot of questions, including about the prices set by Monopoly.

Although Robert had speculated that the tycoon might be Indian, regardless of whether he was or not, it would be difficult for him to meet him since he had no money.

Moreover, prices in the underground world are not low. Simple toy rules, rules that old toys remember to their very core, will sell new toys for a high price of 1000 Berries, because these are earned by others through beatings and beatings, and no one is willing to share them for free.

Vika was sitting on a tree branch eating blueberries she had taken from a nearby shop. In the city of Dressrosa, people tacitly allowed the Tontatta tribe to take anything they wanted without question, as compensation for the royal family's enslavement of them in the past.

Robert's voice came from under the tree: "Are these blueberries tasty?"

Vika jumped down from the tree branch with a look of surprise on her face: "Oh dear, I didn't see you this morning, so I went to play in the street. How did you find me?"

Robert scratched his head awkwardly: "I was so tired. I took a nap this morning and only remembered to come over and try my luck after I woke up."

Vika handed the blueberries in her hand to Robert: "These blueberries are delicious, would you like to try some?"

Robert chuckled and shook his head: "Toys can't be eaten, Vika. Would you like some blueberry toast?"

Vika swallowed hard: "Is it delicious?"

Robert laughed and said, "I'm quite confident in my cooking skills, but I don't know where I can borrow an oven."

Vika patted her chest and said, "Come with me!"

Robert followed Vica with a smile, and after several twists and turns, they arrived at the door of a large house. Vica skillfully climbed over the chimney, and soon the door was opened.

“This family hasn’t lived here for a long time, you can use their kitchen.”

These little people of the Dongtata tribe are extremely simple-minded and have no concept of good or evil. In modern terms, they are extremely insensitive and do not suffer from internal conflicts at all.

Robert had originally intended to use Vika to help him find production materials, so he didn't mince words and readily went inside.

Although the family had been away for a long time, they still had basic supplies of flour, oil, sugar, etc. in the kitchen.

"Vika, could you please get me some eggs, milk, and butter?"

Vika nodded generously and left, seemingly to steal something from somewhere.

Robert picked out some of the pretty, intact blueberries from the large box she had left behind and set them aside, while the rest were made into blueberry jam.

Vika returned quickly; the things Robert wanted were easy to find in the city.

Robert kneaded the flour with egg whites and milk and let it rest. He then whipped the butter and egg yolks into a paste. Vika's eyes lit up as she watched Robert cook.

Vika couldn't wait as Robert mixed the mayonnaise with the shortening and kneaded it into the dough, then poured the blueberry jam evenly into it, and finally put it in the oven to bake.

As soon as the toast came out of the oven, Vika, undeterred by the heat, reached out and tore off a piece, stuffing it into her mouth, her face beaming with happiness.

Robert showed no sign of stopping, continuing until all the ingredients were used up, and he had cooked a total of seven or eight long loaves of toast.

Vika ate most of the toast with satisfaction, and seeing Robert still making more, she couldn't help but say weakly, "Oh dear, Vika can't eat that much."

Robert laughed and said, "Don't you have any other companions? You can take some back and share them with them. Just leave me two or three, I'm planning to sell them on the street for some money."

Vika frowned: "Do you need money? I can give it to you!"

Robert was taken aback, then instantly realized that these little people usually took whatever they wanted along with its bag, which often contained not only their target but also a lot of other useless items.

For these little people who can simply take whatever they want, money is the most useless thing.

Thinking to himself that he had put the cart before the horse, Robert generously said, "I need to buy some information so I can rescue my friend. Vika, if you have any money, could you lend me some?"

Vika nodded vigorously, picked up several panels, and ran out.

Robert sat there and waited for a while, then saw Vika carrying a huge backpack and climbing back through the window. This time, however, she wasn't the only one who came back; there was another little Dontata.

“Bian, this is Mr. Robert. He made that delicious bread.”

The new little man is a woman with a wasp waist and long legs, four arms, two antennae on her head, and long, narrow, translucent insect wings on her back.

These are typical characteristics of a Zoan-type humanoid form, making the identity of the newcomer obvious—Bian, the captain of the Tontatta Clan's flying squadron and a user of the Insect-Insect Fruit in Wasp form.

Bian was a bit older than Vika, and although she was still simple-minded, she was at least not as easily fooled as Vika.

"I heard Mr. Robert needs a lot of money. May I ask what you need money for for a toy?"

Robert had originally intended to gradually introduce Vika to her people, but to his surprise, they came to him on their own initiative.

"First of all, I am not a toy. There is a reason why I am like this. Secondly, I don't want money for myself."

Bian and Vika looked puzzled, while Robert stood tall and proud:

"I need money to liberate all the enslaved people of Dressrosa!"

Bian's face immediately broke into a bright smile:

So you're a member of the revolutionary army!

Chapter 19 (I forgot to write the chapter title)

Robert was momentarily dazed. He had been in the world of One Piece for almost a year, playing high-level matches and dealing with almost all the major powers in the world.

Whether it's the Celestial Dragons representing the World Government, or the vast majority of the Navy's high-ranking officials, or even the Four Emperors, he has met more than one of them, and he himself is one of the so-called Worst Generation Supernovas.

But upon closer reflection, it seems I've always forgotten that there's a group of real troublemakers in this world—the Revolutionary Army!

And indeed, the Revolutionary Army arrived in Dressrosa a year later, accompanied by Sabo, the organization's second-in-command.

However, the plot always focuses on the main characters. The plot only states that the Navy and the Revolutionary Army have planted spies in Dressrosa, but it does not mean that the spies arrived after Luffy and his crew arrived.

When it comes to revolution, it's never too long to lie low for over a decade. If even the navy sent their own people to infiltrate so early, it's not surprising that the revolutionary army planned even earlier.

“I am not a revolutionary, but I am here to save this country, including you, the Tontata tribe.”

The little people of the Tontatta tribe basically believe whatever others say. When Robert said he would rescue them, the two little people were incredibly moved.

"I knew that the person who can make such delicious food must be a really good person!"

Bian hesitated for a moment, then said, "But Mr. Robert, the way you are now..."

Robert smiled indifferently: "How can I infiltrate the factory without becoming a toy? I made contact with your missing kin yesterday. Give me some time, and I will find a way to rescue everyone."

Bian was overjoyed: "What! You've found our kind? That's wonderful! I'll take you to see the captain right away!"

Robert thought for a moment and realized who her so-called captain was: Cyrus, the only toy who hadn't been ordered around by his subordinates before him and his master.

Kyros should be considered a hero worthy of respect, but the limitations of the pirate world mean that everything he did was bound to be in vain.

In this world, individual combat power is paramount. As long as no one can defeat Doflamingo, all bottom-up uprisings will end in failure.

Just like in the original story, this group would definitely have revolted even without Luffy and his crew. At that time, Doflamingo wouldn't even need to take action; his subordinates alone would have been enough to wipe out all the resistance forces.

Even if Sabo still represents the Revolutionary Army, at most he would only force out Doflamingo's Birdcage, dragging the entire country into a life-or-death crisis.

Even more cruelly, the final result will most likely be that the rebels and civilians are indiscriminately killed by the Birdcage, while Doflamingo's loss will only be a severe blow to his business, requiring some time to recover. As for a just trial, it will not fall on his head.

Robert sighed: "I'd also like to meet your captain and the Revolutionary Army, but I have more important business to attend to today. Do you know the Revolutionary Army too?"

Bian nodded and said, "It was the Revolutionary Army that told us the truth. We then learned that the disappearance of many of our comrades was caused by Doflamingo. He kidnapped our comrades to work for him and lied to everyone, saying it was to repay the money he owed for treating Princess Mansherry!"

Robert took a deep breath: "So with hostages in their hands, we can't rashly launch an uprising. At the very least, we must ensure the safety of the captured dwarves and Princess Mansherry so that everyone can focus on fighting Doflamingo to the death without distraction."

Bian nodded: "That's what the captain said too, but we can't get into the Dollhouse. The captain is also wanted by them. As for Princess Mansherry, we don't know where she's being held. So we can only hide for now and try not to let them take more people away."

Robert smiled and reassured everyone, "Since I said I would save this country, I will definitely save everyone. Wait for my news."

Vika happily replied, "Then I'll wait for you here again tomorrow!"

Robert opened the large backpack she had brought, which was full of Berry, roughly worth over a hundred thousand.

Robert pulled out a neatly bundled stack of Berry bills and said to Pan, "This is all I need. Could you take me to the nearest toy store?"

Bian blew a whistle, and a swarm of wasps flew in through the window, carrying Robert's body toward the nearest toy house.

The toys don't just work at night; some of them stay underground and work during the day too.

Robert put the money in a small cloth bag and strolled leisurely into the Toy House.

A guard warily stopped him and said, "What are you doing in the toy store at this hour?"

Robert raised his chin: "Do I need to report to you when I'm working for Lord Torrebol?"

Having seen many important figures, he spoke with an air of authority that startled the lowly gatekeeper.

In their minds, toys are puppets whose minds and bodies are absolutely controlled, and they would never do anything detrimental to the Don Quixote family, so they don't think Robert is trying to trick them at all.

With a forced smile, they let Robert in. They, as lowly underlings, couldn't afford to offend one of the four top executives of the Don Quixote Family. After Robert disappeared, they could only spit and curse, "A piece of trash turned into a toy, actually thinks he's an executive."

Robert ignored the reactions of these irrelevant people and quickly entered the underground factory through the passageway. Following the information the rabbit toy had given him, he located a toy that seemed to be doing nothing but not being beaten or scolded by any supervisor.

"Hey, I have a deal to discuss with the tycoon."

The toy gave Robert an impatient look: "The price list is right here. Just pay for what you want, then leave your employee number, and we'll deliver it to you. You think you can just see a Monopoly whenever you want?"

Robert opened his small satchel, revealing a thick wad of Berry inside.

"I brought 10,000 Berries just for the deposit. What, do you think you can decide on a transaction of this level?"

The lazy toy body sprang up quickly, first scanning its surroundings rapidly, then winking at Robert and leading him aside.

"Where would you get so much money for a toy? Dressrosa doesn't allow toys to own Berry!"

Robert curled his lip: "And what about you guys? Don't you also run such a big business? Take me to see a tycoon, or you can go and ask him first, and I'll wait for you here."

The toy hesitated for a long time, not daring to make the decision himself. He lowered his voice and said to Robert, "You wait here and don't go anywhere. You know what it means for us to be able to build such a big business in the factory. If you dare to play tricks, I'll make you regret it!"

Robert pretended to be obedient, and after the toy left like a thief, he quickly took out a red cloth strip, wrapped it around himself, and then followed it from a distance.

"You want me to see this? The best stuff is what you see secretly!"
