One Piece: A Guide for Ordinary Players

The toy, after winding its way through the streets, arrived at the door of a small house. Robert was taken aback. He had guessed that Monopoly must have at least gotten in touch with some guards, but he hadn't expected that Monopoly had set up its headquarters in the guardhouse.

Now that Robert is in his toy form, his strength has been greatly reduced, and he inevitably acts timidly. He even wonders if Redfield's logic is a paradox, since he has not only failed to learn how to be reckless, but is now more cautious than before.

The toy remained untouched in the duty room for a long time, so Robert picked up a nearby wooden box and went closer, straining his ears to listen to what was happening inside.

The toy that Robert had been following all the way let out a pitiful plea for mercy: "I really don't know anything, I still have a family, please don't kill me, please!"

A shrill male voice rang out: "What will it take for you to talk? Let me think about it. I'll just take all your limbs off."

Robert's mind was in turmoil. It seemed the overseer was interrogating him about something, but he had come here openly and honestly and was immediately arrested. So, could the overseer be interrogating him about something?

Although Robert had only met the toy that led the way once, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life if it really had its limbs removed because of him.

Even as a toy, Robert believed he could handle a few ordinary henchmen; the invention of fighting techniques was precisely to bridge the gap in strength.

With that thought in mind, Robert kicked open the door to the duty room and threw the wooden box in his hand at the nearest overseer.

The three supervisors inside the guard post were all startled by the loud noise of the door being kicked open. As soon as they turned around, they saw the wooden crate flying towards them.

The foreman who was closest to him instinctively stepped back to avoid it, but due to his limited core strength, he could only take two steps back before he lost his balance.

Robert's thin body, like a ghost, lurked in the shadows of the wooden crate as he approached the overseer. With swift and precise movements, he grabbed the man's shinbone.

The foreman was still staggering backward when one of his legs was suddenly grabbed, making it impossible for him to maintain an upright position. He fell backward.

Using his own weight, Robert exerted force with his arms, and the overseer's leg was actually broken at the knee, or rather, the leg was broken by the force of his own fall.

With a scream, Robert rushed toward the next person and, upon getting close, scattered a handful of banknotes with a wave of his hand.

The second overseer was completely bewildered by the Berry, and in that instant, Robert's fist slammed into his crotch.

The so-called "between the legs" refers to the testicles, which are the softest part of the body. No man is immune to being groped.

Robert showed no sympathy for these Don Quixote family lackeys, and went all out to subdue them with maximum efficiency.

The third foreman reacted and, wielding the wrench he had intended to use to remove the toy arm, smashed it down on Robert's head.

But Robert's combat experience was now so rich that he had anticipated his reaction and dodged the wrench before it even came down.

The third man couldn't stop his force, and just then, the second foreman bent over to cover his injured genitals, and the wrench hit him squarely on the head.

Taking advantage of the moment when his teammate was stunned after being injured, Robert used the same trick again and came closer, throwing a powerful punch that severely injured the third foreman's testicles. The foreman screamed and fell to the ground.

Robert first walked up to the overseer with the broken leg and kicked him hard in the ear. Then he did the same to the other two overseers, knocking them unconscious.

The duty room fell silent. Robert looked at the toy who had led the way, a hint of shame in his eyes.

Just as he was about to apologize, the toy anxiously spoke first: "Quick! Quick, go save Big Brother! They're going to tear Big Brother apart!"

Robert frowned, untying the toy's restraints as he asked, "Who's your older brother? Is he a tycoon? What's going on here?"

The toy leading the way spoke urgently: "Of course it's him! Aren't you looking for him too? Hurry up, hurry up, or it'll be too late!"

Seeing that although he was anxious, Robert seemed to be only encouraging him to go and rescue people, he couldn't help but become suspicious: "Aren't you going?"

The toy was so anxious it was almost crying, and it didn't seem fake: "We've all been implanted with commands and can't resist them. Although I don't know why you were able to attack the overseer, since you're not controlled, you can definitely rescue Big Brother too."

Robert suddenly realized that it was the influence of Sugar's orders.

"At least show me the way, okay?"

The toy quickly nodded and walked out. Robert casually searched the duty room and found a thin iron rod to use as a weapon.

The two toys blended in with the laborers and were not conspicuous. The toy that led the way took many detours, but its destination was clear, and it soon arrived at a huge house.

"That's where Plum Blossom usually works. Disobedient toys are sent here to be dismantled and thrown into the garbage dump. They're going to punish Big Brother, so they'll definitely send him here. Please, you're so powerful, you have to save him!"

Upon hearing the name "plum blossom," Robert frowned.

The Donquixote Family's Plum Blossom Executive is Trebol, the snotty-nosed man who ate the Sticky-Sticky Fruit. In my current state, it's practically impossible for me to deal with him.

Especially since he is most likely accompanied by Sugar. At least he hasn't been controlled by Sugar's orders yet. If he rushes towards Sugar rashly, she can easily render him powerless with just a few words.

Robert looked at the toy that had led the way: "Saving him isn't impossible, but you have to tell me, why are these overseers tearing it down? Is it because your business has been discovered?"

The toy, who was leading the way, said with a long face, "Our business was started with the permission of the foremen, and all the money we make goes into their pockets. They won't punish Big Brother for this."

"My brother said there would be a concert tonight, hosted by two of the world's most famous singers. He's going to broadcast their voices through the entire underground factory's radio so everyone can hear them."

Robert was even more puzzled. If the toys weren't prohibited from operating in the underground black market instead of working, how could listening to music be considered a serious crime that required them to be demolished?

"You must be hiding something from me. If it were just playing concert songs, it wouldn't be worth tearing down such a cash cow."

The toy leading the way looked conflicted: "I really don't know anything. Big Brother said the more we know, the easier it is to be exposed. Also, the contract prevents us from doing anything that would harm the Don Quixote family, so we'll just treat listening to the songs as a good thing."

Robert felt that he was just one thin layer of paper away from understanding the whole Monopoly plan; once that layer was broken, he would be able to see the full picture.

"Think carefully about what else he said?"

The toy looked somewhat bewildered and asked uncertainly:

"My brother said that as long as the underground factory enters the world of song, everyone will be free!"

Chapter 21 hasn't even created a character card for you yet, how did you die?

Robert suddenly realized that he had been so focused on Karina that he had forgotten about Uta.

The original plan for this concert was for Karina to sing the first half, and Uta to take over the second half.

The first half of the event was held at the Dressrosa bullring, while the second half, through Uta's Devil Fruit ability, transported all the audience into the world of the song!

In the Monopoly's plan, making the toys in the underground factory play songs was probably secondary; what he really wanted was for sugar, the source of the "Fruit of Childlike Fun," to enter the world of songs.

The principle behind the Hobby-Hobby Fruit is that as long as the user falls into a coma, the fruit's power will be deactivated, and the toys will return to human form.

Although the Song-Song Fruit brings people's consciousness into the world of songs, their bodies in the real world appear to be asleep, but in essence, they are more like unconscious comas, because their minds have completely entered the world of songs created by Uta.

Monopoly is essentially undermining Doflamingo's rule. Once all the toys in the country are out of control and people start to remember their families, his dynasty will come to a complete end.

No matter how powerful the Donquixote Family is, they can't keep this a secret forever. The Navy will quickly obtain enough evidence to bring him down.

Their best fate would be to all flee to the sea and become pirates, making it very difficult for them to regain their rule over a country.

"Big Brother also said that he also has a boss, who is extremely powerful, but he has forgotten about him. As long as we can find a way to make the boss remember him, he will definitely come to save him. Once the boss comes, no one in Dressrosa can be his match. Then he will lead us to join the boss."

Robert interrupted him, his initial three guesses now reaching a level of seven or eight parts certainty: this tycoon was most likely Indian.

"Go and find a way to create some chaos."

The toy manufacturer looked conflicted: "I can't do it. We can't do anything that damages the factory."

Robert, exasperated, instigated, "Who says creating chaos necessarily means destroying a factory? Bad guys rack their brains but a fool can't be as clever as a simpleton. Find a few of the clumsiest toys and have them do the most accident-prone tasks. Can't you even do that?"

Robert had just seen through the toy's meaning, and the toy gritted its teeth and said, "Fine! But you absolutely have to rescue Big Brother!"

It turned and left with a resolute air, while Robert gripped the iron rod, which was longer than himself, in his hand and circled around to reach the building in front of him.

Robert gently pried open a crack in the window with an iron rod, and peered inside through his eyes while clinging to the windowsill.

The building is very eye-catching, entirely red, with a stone corridor inside the windows.

Seeing that there was no one guarding the inside, Robert used the iron bar in his hand to prop himself up and flipped himself inside.

The huge building has several floors. Robert remembered that the innermost floor should be Sugar's amusement park, but there are many rooms on the outer perimeter. He can only find out where Monopoly is locked up by searching one room at a time.

According to the toy that led the way, Monopoly's crimes this time would be so serious that dismantling him would be too lenient; if he were to search slowly, he would only find a pile of parts.

Robert gritted his teeth and walked straight to the nearest lit room.

Inside sat two operators, facing rows of Den Den Mushi (snail telephones), looking like an old-fashioned gatehouse.

Robert pushed open the door. One of the staff members was on the phone, while the other staff member turned around impatiently. When he saw that it was a toy that had entered the room, he immediately frowned.

Before he could even ask questions, Robert spoke first: "Something's happened in the loading and unloading area! A group of pirates are fighting with our people, but we can't get through to them with our Den Den Mushi. Quickly notify the lord!"

The operator's first reaction wasn't to suspect Robert, but rather to ask in confusion, "Which loading/unloading area?"

Robert had only been to the underground factory once before, and that was to help out in the synthesis zone. He had no idea that the outer area was divided into several loading and unloading zones. He casually made up a story: "In the fourth loading and unloading zone, those pirates are very powerful, and our people can't hold on much longer!"

The operator glanced back at the Den Den Mushi instinctively, then suddenly shouted, "You're talking nonsense! The Den Den Mushi in Zone 4 is already connected!"

But when he turned around again, a sharp iron rod had already pierced straight through his open mouth and into the back of his head, and the man was instantly dead.

Robert flicked his wrist, pulling the iron rod out like a spear, and before the operator next to him could scream, he shoved the tip back into his mouth.

Robert threatened in a voice only the two of them could hear: "Don't shout, and I might consider not killing you."

The second person had a sharp iron rod pressed against his throat, and he didn't even dare to nod; he could only blink frantically.

Robert stepped forward and said to the Den Den Mushi, "Is your situation urgent? We have something urgent here, call back later."

The voice on the other end was full of doubt: "I heard shouting, and they mentioned our Fourth District. What happened?"

Robert said impatiently, "Just get back to your work and don't meddle in things that aren't your business!"

The person opposite was intimidated by Robert's imposing manner: "The report is almost complete. We should report the missing supplies to the lord as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay the loading and unloading."

Robert replied dismissively, "Okay, okay, we'll report it."

After saying that, he hung up the Den Den Mushi, turned around and smiled at the operator who was frozen in place:

"Now it's time for us to have a proper talk. As you can see, I have a short temper and I'm very unhappy about being turned into a toy, so I plan to kill a few people to vent my anger."

The man's head jerked back, but Robert reacted quickly, thrusting the iron rod forward, and blood soon flowed from his mouth.

"I used to be a world-renowned pirate. Even in my current state, I'm still no match for you. If you want to live, answer my questions honestly."

After saying that, he quickly pulled out the iron rod, but then pressed the sharp tip against the man's neck.

The operator almost knocked out his front teeth from Robert's movements, but he couldn't care less about the pain now and could only desperately beg for mercy.

"Tell me where the tycoon was taken, and you'll live."

The operator's eyes widened in fear: "What did you say, a billionaire... I..."

Before he could lie, Robert thrust his iron rod forward, piercing his neck shallowly.

"Why are you risking your life? Doflamingo is dead, so it's not your turn to inherit his mantle. Forget it, I'll go ask someone else."

The operator cried out in terror, "It's dead! I can't say! Please don't kill me! It wasn't me! They just dismantled that toy. It was trying to kill us all! I really didn't participate! I was just a messenger!"

Robert couldn't help but shudder. Although the toy had no heartbeat or breathing, Robert felt his breathing quicken and his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to explode.

"When did this happen? What happened to the disassembled parts?"

The operator was incoherent, tears streaming down her face: "It just happened, and his toys with him were all taken apart and thrown into the recycling area!"
