One Piece: Under the Throne

[Running here with a longing heart,]

【I'm sorry but I can't do anything. 】

Amid Gloria's high-pitched singing, Leo stepped into the Temple of the Gods and came before the god Odin.

At this time, all the maids and guards in the palace were dismissed, leaving only Odin half-leaning on the cloud bed.

"People from Qinghai, I acknowledge your strength. If you join me, I will forgive you for your past mistakes." Odin started recruiting Leo. In his opinion, the other party should be grateful and accept this honor, but Leo's answer directly broke his defense.

Leo was stunned the moment he saw Odin: "What the hell, the god is actually a fat man?"

The prime minister on his shoulder also added: "He's still a half-naked fat man. He looks pretty good, but he looks greasy."

"How dare you! I'm eating your rice. Ahem, unreasonable people are not qualified to enter the temple. [5000 million Fuleicha]."

Odin was so angry that he attacked directly. A double-headed fork made of thunder came towards Leo. The speed was so fast that Leo only felt a flash of lightning before the attack arrived in front of him.

……

In the city of Bica, on the main road leading to the west side of the square, a gloomy-looking man was blocked outside the square by Charles.

"You're from Qinghai? I'm Loki, the chief steward of the Shrine. Did you plan this farce?"

Charles stared at Loki with a serious expression: "Are you Loki, the trickster who ranks third in strength among Odin's subordinates? My luck is really bad that I met the weakest one."

As the chief steward of the Asgard, Loki is insidious and cunning, and likes to control others. He is the most powerful person in the Asgard except for the gods.

Charles' words obviously made Loki somewhat dissatisfied. He replied with a look of disgust: "The unruly man is like an untamed beast. It seems that he needs to be properly disciplined."

As soon as he finished speaking, Loki rushed towards Charles and swung his fist into the air, but a slashing attack appeared. It turned out that there were two slashing shells hidden inside Loki's gloves. As his arm swung, the invisible slashing attack had surrounded Charles.

However, the slash from the shell was at most the power of an air blade, and Charles's arm transformed shield easily blocked it.

Two years of hard training in Xihai have transformed Charles' strength. He raised his arms, with his fists pointing upwards and his forearms forward in a defensive posture, as if he had a shield on his arms. His left leg was bent forward and his right foot was on the ground, and he looked like he could launch a defensive counterattack at any time.

This move is called [Unyielding Spear], which is a move that Ah Fu evolved based on the ancient warriors' defense against cavalry charges. It blocks with a solid shield and counterattacks with a sharp spear, which can achieve both offense and defense. The disadvantage is also obvious because you have to stay still.

Dang! There was a sound of metal clashing. Charles felt that the slash was only sharp, but there was no sense of pressure from the force. He didn't even have the steps to block the attack. Seeing Loki enter the attack range, his right leg turned into a spear and stabbed forward. The cold weapon fruit was combined with the ancient fighting method. The sharp moves broke through the air, and the target was Loki's chest.

Loki floated backwards as if defying the laws of physics, and without any effort, he moved sideways in the air, making a right angle to Charles's side and rear, followed by two more slashes.

Charles frowned when he saw Loki's strange movements. He really couldn't figure out how the other party could do such an incredible movement. Could it be that the other party was also a devil fruit user?

There was no time to analyze the opponent's ability. Charles took a step forward using the inertia of his right leg. Then, using his right foot as a fulcrum, he turned around and kicked out again with his left leg turned into a long sword.

【Turn and Slash】

Also referring to the skills of ancient warriors, this move originally used turning to increase the swing distance of the weapon to achieve the effect of enhancing strength. Now it is cleverly used by Charles, not only to avoid the enemy's attack, but also to continue to seize the upper hand and turn defense into offense. The powerful centrifugal force allows Charles to use this move to the effect of the Navy's Six-style Storm Kick.

"Tsk! You are such a difficult boy. If I let you become God's subordinates, wouldn't that threaten my position?"

The following battle quickly switched between offense and defense. Charles kept chasing Loki, occasionally blocking a few attacks from the opponent. Loki kept flying in the air, seemingly running away, but in fact dodging very calmly. After dozens of moves, Charles didn't even touch the corner of Loki's clothes.

Loki suddenly accelerated and distanced himself from Charles, then stood in the air with his hands behind his back, looking down at Charles.

"I already understand your abilities. I won't play with you anymore." Loki fiddled with the air with his fingers.

Charles suddenly felt that his body could not move, as if he was bound by something invisible. Just as Charles was about to struggle to break free, he saw several marks on his clothes.

Loki clenched his fists out of thin air and pulled hard. Charles felt his arms being pulled by a huge force and forced to the sides of his body, and he unconsciously stood upright.

"Hahaha, Qinghai people are wondering why your body is not under your control. This is the cloud line, a specialty of Sky Island. I have been dodging just now in order to lay down the cloud line around. I finally put a collar on this beast of yours."

Loki floated in front of Charles and lifted his chin with one hand, wanting to appreciate Charles's resentful expression, but the result disappointed Loki.

Charles just sighed slightly and said self-deprecatingly: "I was careless. You really can't underestimate every opponent. But you made the same mistake. It is very dangerous to rashly approach a devil fruit user."

【Weaponization-Eight-sided Sword】

There was a sound of cloud lines breaking around Charles, and the tight lines seemed to be cut by a sharp blade. Charles himself turned into an ancient sword, and then cut off Loki's head with a sword in front of Loki's astonished eyes.

Blood spurted out from the wound on Loki's neck, and then his headless body fell backwards. Charles was a little helpless, and said to himself: "I really don't want to use this trick."

The Cold Weapon Fruit is the same as the Weapon Fruit, which can transform the body into a weapon. However, when he showed this ability to his friends, he was hurt by his captain blurting out "Sword Man". Since then, he has been resistant to transforming his body into a weapon. However, this transformation is an extremely powerful skill. The Cold Weapon Fruit can not only transform into a famous sword, but also imitate the effects of those famous weapons when used by their masters.

What Charles is changing now is a famous sword with eight blades in the treasure of the Babao Navy of the Flower Kingdom, which has been collected by the pillars of the Babao Navy of all generations. Although this sword is not very famous on the sea, it is still a sharp weapon.

That's why Charles was able to cut off Loki's head with one blow.

This brought the battle to a successful conclusion.
