One Piece: Under the Throne

With an explosion, a big hole was blown in the birdcage-like top of the tower, and Leo and Victoria flew along the hole.

Before leaving, another burst of laser rain washed the ground, and the botanical garden on the top of the tower was destroyed in an instant. Albert was completely broken at this moment, and he roared at the sky: "Stop it, bastards! My wealth, my power, my ambition, you dare to destroy everything I have."

However, Leo and Gloria had already left the tower, and Albert's roar and the ruined tower top below became their backdrop.

Albert seemed unwilling to give up. He turned to look at his son and said, "Huang Mu, what are you still standing there for? Get them down for me."

"Tsk! Shut up and don't give me orders."

……

"Victory, open your eyes quickly, we are out now."

The bombardment just now frightened the little girl so much that she closed her eyes. The feeling of weightlessness from flying for the first time made Victory hug Leo tightly, burying his little head in Leo's arms like an ostrich.

Victoria, who was originally very frightened, suddenly heard Leo's words and then carefully opened her eyes a little.

The boundless blue color came into the girl's eyes. Victoria's eyes widened instantly at the sight of a scenery she had never seen before. In the distance was the endless sea, but the mushroom island under her feet seemed so small.

The strong contrast shocked Victoria's heart all the time. The first time she saw the sea, the girl was a little dazed. Is this the outside world? Why is the air salty? The sea is even wider than described in the book, and there is no end in sight.

"How was it like coming out for the first time?"

"I feel a little weird. I am curious, scared and a little excited. I can't describe the feeling in words."

“Haha, this is the taste of freedom.”

Leo flew in the air with Victoria for a while, and then decided to go back and solve the trouble below: "Victoria, you will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy this beautiful scenery in the future. Now let's go back and solve the farce below."

"Okay, I'll listen to your brother Leo. But please eat this mushroom. It can help you recover your strength quickly." Victoria opened her little hand, and inside was a special mushroom that she had crushed. Before Leo could answer, Victoria stuffed the mushroom into his mouth.

Leo chewed it for a few times and then said with certainty, "It tastes good. It actually tastes like mint."

……

The power output under the feet stopped, and the seastone armor returned to the botanical garden in a free fall. At this time, the botanical garden had long lost its former beauty. There were broken walls and ruins everywhere, and the flowers and plants turned into ashes in a fire.

Victoria seemed a little sad: "What a pity, all those friends are gone."

"No! They just returned to nature. When you board the Sea Soldier, you can plant them back on the deck."

After that, there was another series of laser bombardments, mixed with deep blue blades. Leo opened fire at full power and within a few breaths, the tower began to shake.

But the tower was still able to stand after tilting. Just as Leo shook his head and sighed that the attack was not powerful enough, two golden slashes, one horizontal and one vertical, appeared from the bottom of the tower and cut the tilted tower into four halves.

Victoria witnessed the entire process of the destruction of the tower. Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes again, but this time the girl managed to hold back her tears. Instead, she put away her sad expression and giggled.

……

With a click, an arm stretched out from the ruins of the tower. Although Lord Albert was still alive, he was covered with wounds. Not far from him, there was a cocoon formed by plants.

"Huang Mu, Huang Mu, you bastard, why didn't you take me with you when you escaped? Do you want to kill me so that you can inherit the position of lord? If you don't behave yourself, I will revoke your status as the first heir."

After cursing Huangmu for a few words, Albert looked at Leo and the others with a ferocious face: "Look at what you have done, I will not let you go."

Leo landed next to Alfu and handed Victoria to him for care. He then looked at Albert and his son with disdain: "Just you? It just so happens that I have a score to settle with you. Thank you for your care just now. Now it's my turn."

Leo snapped his fingers at Albert, and a stream of water appeared out of thin air.

Ah! You...

"My Lord, you have to hold on. This is just the beginning."

The sound of snapping fingers continued to ring out, and the blade of the water seemed to be torturing Albert, especially his limbs, which received special care. This care lasted for 10 minutes, and Albert's blood dyed the ground red like running water.

As the execution progressed, Albert felt the strength in his body gradually leaving him. At this moment, he lay there motionless, gasping for breath, like a stranded fish.

"Leo, has Alfu rescued Victoria? You are too slow." Gloria came from behind with a bow. Her maid's skirt was already tattered and stained with blood in some places, but her expression was not only a little tired, but more confident.

"Congratulations, Gloria. You did very well on your graduation exam. From today on, you are a warrior on your own."

"Of course, I am a fighting genius."

……

Huangmu stared at his father coldly, and the lord lost his former elegance and looked more like a fish waiting to be cooked on the chopping board. When Leo started to fight, Huangmu had no intention of stopping him, but seeing the harmonious scene between Leo and his companions made Huangmu very unhappy.

Just as Leo was about to deliver the final blow to the lord, Aramaki spoke.

"Hey, you stole my fiancée and tried to kill my father in front of me. That's a bit too arrogant."

As soon as Huang Mu finished speaking, the plants in the manor began to grow wildly. Thick vines twisted wildly and broke out of the ground, turning the originally quiet manor into a green hell in an instant.

Suddenly an arrow flew in front of Huangmu, and he just turned his head to avoid the sneak attack of the arrow.

Gloria drew her bow again and aimed the arrow at Huangmu. Just as she was about to release the crescent-shaped bowstring, someone took action before her.

The golden slash flew out horizontally, and Huang Mu was cut off immediately. Even though his whole body turned into a plant, he was still injured by the slash.

The wound did not bleed. The severed upper body fell to the ground and turned into dead wood, while the lower body that remained in place grew back from the broken part. Huang Mu did not seem to feel well, his face was as pale as paper. Although he was a natural type, he was not able to completely offset the great swordsman's slash.

At this moment, Huang Mu, who was surrounded by powerful enemies, suddenly laughed: "You are so powerful! I admit defeat. Please spare my life and don't kill me."

Ah Fu stared at Huang Mu who was kneeling on the ground with disgust, his eyes seemed to be looking at something dirty: "Hetui, you don't have the awareness of a strong man at all."

Huang Mu said nonchalantly: "What's the point of that awareness? Reputation is not as important as being alive. Please let me go. If you want money, you can take the treasure in the castle."

Leo stopped Gloria who was about to attack: "Let's go, this kind of person is not worth attacking."

The battle at the Lord's Manor ended here. Leo and his companions really braved all the way here, and then turned around and left the manor with the joy of victory.

Only after they left did someone dare to sneak into the manor to check what had happened. When they discovered that the guards had been wiped out and the lord was missing, everyone cheered.
