One Piece: Under the Throne

The Poseidon was sailing leisurely on the sea when a little girl suddenly poked half of her head out from the side of the ship, her long golden hair fluttering in the sea breeze.

The girl looked at it with sparkling eyes. The boundless sea was common in the eyes of the old sailor, but it was so new in Victoria's eyes.

Just as the girl was lost in thought, the loud speaker on the boat suddenly sounded.

"Attention, port side of the deck. The little girl who was peeking out, please pull back. Gloria, how do you act as a guardian?"

"Here you are, my little ancestor. Why are you lying on the side of the boat again? Be careful not to fall down and come back quickly."

"Haha, Sister Gloria, I saw a big fish just now."

……

Since Victoria came on board, Leo and the other two have had the additional task of taking care of the child. Every day they take turns accompanying her to get familiar with the outside world. Victoria is like a curious baby who is interested in everything.

Gloria carried Victoria to the open-air swimming pool. Although they couldn't let the little girl play in the sea, they had to experience it here.

"Sister Gloria, the ocean is much bigger than the small swimming pool. Can we go outside and play in the water?"

"Not good at all. Look at your short legs. You'll be gone in an instant if you jump into the sea. If you want to go to the sea, let Leo take you there."

"Okay, haha." After the little girl said this, she scooped up a pool of water and splashed it at Gloria, and then there was a round of play and fighting.

In the cockpit, Leo held the steering wheel and said with emotion: "What a beautiful view."

Ah Fu sat aside and flipped through the newspaper: "You'd better talk about the scenery. Captain, please stop. They are just children."

"Wulusai, who do you think I am? I am just appreciating beautiful things."

"hetui!"

……

That afternoon, the group finally returned to Shibao Town. The lively hawking sounds coming from the harbor immediately diverted Victoria's attention.

"The smell of fireworks is still the most intoxicating. Let's prepare to land."

What Leo didn't expect was that Victoria almost caused a riot as soon as she came ashore. The fishermen in Shibao Town had never seen such a beautiful girl, and the crowd surrounded Victoria in three layers.

"This girl looks very well behaved!"

In order to get Victoria to look at them more, some people even held candies that children like and tried to attract her attention.

It was the first time that Victoria was stared at by so many people. She was a little scared, but she remembered the etiquette she learned from books, and mustered up her courage. She lifted her skirt with both hands, knelt down, and bowed, saying, "Hello, uncle!"

"Wow! Look how polite this girl is."

"You are so good-looking!"

"It's very comfortable. The girl is so happy!"

Victoria didn't understand the local dialect and looked at Leo in confusion. Leo smiled and explained, "The uncles are praising your beauty. Why don't you thank them quickly?"

Victoria clutched the hem of her skirt tightly with both hands, lowered her head slightly, puffed up her chubby cheeks, two light pink spots appeared, and a strand of alopecia suddenly stood up on the top of her head. From the extent to which the strand of alopecia swayed from side to side, it seemed that the girl was in a good mood. She looked so cute, like a peach.

Victoria could feel that these people had no ill will towards her, so she smiled sweetly: "Thank you for the compliment."

Puff, puff, puff, blood flowed from the nose.

"Ah? What's wrong with everyone? What should I do with Brother Leo? The uncles are all injured. Doctor, doctor, oh yes, I am the doctor." After saying that, he hurriedly took out the healing mushrooms from the small bag on his back.

"Hahahaha, don't worry, the uncles are fine, let's go."

"Really nothing? But why are they bleeding from the nose?"

"Because beauty is justice, you'll understand it when you grow up. Let's go," he stretched out his hand to Victoria, and the little girl naturally took it with her little hand.

"Let's go pick up Will first. I'm afraid that old man Qing Jiao won't let me leave if I go to the Babao Navy."

The group of four went to Qinglong Temple chatting and laughing.

……

After passing through the quiet bamboo forest and standing in front of the ancient temple, Leo, Gloria and Victoria were all stunned by the building in front of them as it was their first time here.

Before they could go forward and knock on the door, the gate opened and a monk wearing a conical hat, carrying a bamboo stick on his shoulder, with his white belly exposed, walked out. The monk was stunned when he saw Leo, and then rushed over with a "DuangDuangDuang".

"Leo and everyone, I miss you so much!"

At this moment, Will looked like a monk from Qinglong Temple. Leo was very curious whether the wine gourd hanging on his bamboo stick was really filled with fine wine.

Will ran over and threw away the bamboo stick, then opened his arms and hugged 3+1. Victoria was too small and stood behind Leo, so the little fat fish didn't notice her for a while.

Leo laughed as he smelled the familiar smell and said, "Hahaha, Will, you're exaggerating. We haven't even been away for a week."

Ah Fu said in a serious tone, "You haven't been slacking off these days, have you? How much have you learned from the Qinglong Temple monks?"

Gloria pushed Will's arm away with all her strength: "Be gentle, do you want to kill me? Let go! I'll introduce you to a new companion."

Hearing this, Will looked at the three people with a puzzled look on his face: "Where is our new companion?"

"Come on Victoria, hurry up, this is Will, our boatman, Victoria?"

The four people looked around, and the little girl disappeared?

Suddenly a golden aho-hair stood up from behind Leo's shoulder, swaying wildly, and poking Leo's neck like a finger.

"Eh? Victoria, when did you run behind me? Come out and say hello."

Victoria...

"Don't be shy. Although Will is so big, he is a very nice and gentle child."

Victoria: "...I can't breathe anymore."

"Ah! Victoria, what's wrong with you? Don't die!"

Will let go of his hands, and the little girl slowly fell down like a piece of paper. After a while, Victoria, who had been crushed, finally recovered.

At this time, Will looked at his new companion with a nervous face. He curled up into a ball and squatted on the spot, his fingers constantly drawing circles on the ground.

Leo stroked Victoria's head and laughed, "Okay, don't be scared. Will didn't mean it. Go over and try to touch him."

Victoria poked half of her head out from behind Leo with a wary look on her face and looked at Will vigilantly. When she heard Leo's words, the little girl slowly walked to Will, stretched out her little hand and gently patted the huge monster in her eyes, then quickly withdrew her hand as if she had been electrocuted.

Will looked at Victoria with a self-blaming expression and said, "I'm sorry, I was reckless."

The hair on Victoria's head moved, and then she grabbed the hem of her skirt with both hands, lowered her head slightly, and replied in a low voice with her mouth pouting: "No... It's okay, hello, my name is Victoria."

Will stopped drawing circles and asked carefully, "Hello, I'm Will, from the Fishman tribe. Do you forgive me?"

Victoria nodded and gave Will a sweet smile.

Will responded with a silly grin, scratching the back of his head with one hand.
