One Piece: Under the Throne

The captain of the guards did not expect Leo to fly over from the sky. Thinking of the horror of his own lord, he would be dead if he let him find out that he had messed up.

"Damn it, Team One and Team Two, go protect the Lord."

Before the soldiers could make any move, there was another loud noise. An arrow blocked the guards' steps. The arrow shot a big hole in the ground, and the shock wave blew the guards to and fro.

"I am your opponent, so just stay here and be quiet."

……

Leo and Alfu walked to the tower with ease, and Leo kicked the door open. But as soon as they entered the door, they heard the sound of a sharp weapon breaking through the air, a long sword coming towards them.

Ah Fu suddenly stood in front of Leo and blocked the sneak attack of the sword, but what Ah Fu used to block the sword was actually a branch.

"Leo, go and bring Victoria back. Leave this third-rate swordsman to me."

Leo calmly walked up the spiral staircase. Two flying knives followed closely behind him, but Leo didn't even turn his head, as if he didn't care about the opponent's sneak attack at all.

The flying knife was also knocked down by the tree branch, and the swordsman guarding the hall could only watch Leo climb the tower.

"Are you a shadow assassin too?"

The swordsman shifted his gaze to Ah Fu and smiled. The long and short steel knives in the swordsman's hands glowed with bloodthirsty light at the same time: "You actually blocked my attack with a branch. It seems that you are a good opponent. I love to kill masters the most. Yeah hahahahaha."

The shadow assassin flashed with wild laughter and appeared beside Ah Fu in the blink of an eye.

……

In order to save time, Leo simply used the seastone armor to catapulted step by step to the botanical garden on the top of the tower.

As soon as Leo rushed to the top of the tower, he saw the lord and his son forcing Victoria to the edge of the tower, and Lord Albert was whipping Victoria with a whip.

"Asshole, stop it." Leo roared and flew over. Just as he was above the three people, his legs were entangled by several vines and he was pulled down from the air.

Leo pulled out his dagger and cut the vine, but the Seastone Mech still fell heavily to the ground, and a big hole was smashed in the stone slab beneath it.

"Wow! You are so powerful. What kind of fruit ability is this? Do you want to be my subordinate?" Lord Albert waved his whip and tried to recruit Leo.

Even after falling to the ground, Leo's eyes never left Victoria. The little girl was squatting on the ground barefoot with her hands on her head, and her arms were covered with criss-crossing whip marks.

Suddenly hearing Leo's roar, Victoria opened her eyes with difficulty, but before she could speak, she was hit by a whip and fell to the ground next to her. Victoria was so scared that she quickly closed her eyes.

"Don't cry. If I hear you crying, I'll give you a few more lashes."

Albert yelled at Victoria with a ferocious face, and then looked at Leo again: "What do you think? I will give you enough wealth to last you a lifetime. If you like this bitch, I promise to give her to you after my son is done playing."

Leo was so angry that he almost bit his teeth off. He raised his hand and fired a [Poseidon Flow Water-Rainfall], and the water droplets like a shotgun completely covered Lord Albert.

However, another thick vine blocked the attack of the water droplets.

Leo then noticed that in the shadow beside the bed, there was a young man with his upper body naked leaning against the bed. The thick branches were transformed by his fingers. The tentacle-like branches twisted in the air, making the young man look like a green devil.

"Ahahahaha, this is my son. He's the user of the Mori Mori Fruit. He's pretty powerful, right? And I..."

Albert just swung his hand, and several steel needles shot towards Leo's joints.

"And I am the user of the Execution Fruit, so let's have some fun from now on."

……

Leo kept changing positions, dodging the blades and needles shot by Albert, and had to be careful of sneak attacks from vines from time to time. The father and son did not take Leo seriously, and they only attacked him for fun.

"You're quite skilled, as agile as a monkey. Run away, Taobao! Do your best to please me!"

Leo didn't dare to attack rashly at this time, because Victoria was not far from Albert, and Leo was afraid that his attack would affect the little girl. After a while, Leo had adapted to Albert's attack frequency. After dodging the attack of the steel needle again, Leo suddenly threw a few water balls at Albert. The sudden counterattack made Albert pause. Leo took advantage of this opportunity to accelerate to Victoria's side and protect the girl behind him.

"Wow, this is so exciting. A brave knight saves a princess trapped in a tower? This is really... such a cliché and disgusting scene."

As soon as he finished speaking, Albert suddenly threw several steel needles at Leo, and at the same time, he also hit him with a whip and a vine.

Leo put his hands in front of him and used the hard seastone armor to resist the opponent's attack.

Seeing that Leo didn't dodge, Albert stopped attacking, clapped his hands and said, "How touching! Are you afraid of hurting Victoria behind you? In that case, let's play a game. If you win, I'll let you go."

Leo stared at Albert and the other man, and shouted to Victoria, "Run, I'll stop them."

Victoria opened her eyes carefully and looked at Leo. The girl's face was already covered with tears. She did not react when she heard Leo's words. She just sobbed and shook her head desperately.

“Hahahaha, kid, I’m sure you’ll be disappointed. She only listens to my orders. Do you see the circle under her feet? She would never dare to take a step without my order.”

Albert's perverted laughter echoed throughout the botanical garden: "Come on, only if you accept my game will you have a chance to take her away. Now please take off your armor, knight."

Leo called Victoria's name a few more times, but the girl still squatted there, whimpering softly, not daring to move a step.

Leo stared at Albert angrily, and suddenly the seastone armor began to fade. Leo finally removed the seastone armor.

Seeing the boy in front of him so obedient, Albert showed a satisfied smile. The long whip with barbs suddenly hit Leo's body, and the sharp barbs instantly turned Leo's chest blood red, but Leo didn't even frown, and his eyes were always fixed on Albert.

"That's the look on your face. Boy, I like you more and more. The difficulty of the game is going to be upgraded."

Albert put down the thorn whip and threw a pair of handcuffs to Leo: "Put them on him and don't defend yourself. If you can hold out for an hour, I will allow you to take Victoria away."

Seeing the seastone handcuffs under his feet, Leo was speechless. It seemed that Albert only regarded him as an ordinary devil fruit user. Suddenly, Leo showed a sunny smile and turned his head to look at the little girl.

"Victoria, look at me. Don't close your eyes or look away. Aren't you afraid of his whip? Today I will show you that it is not that scary."

Hearing this, Victoria suddenly opened her eyes and stared at Leo with an expression of pity. When their eyes met, the girl saw only courage and determination in his eyes.
