One Piece: Under the Throne

Chapter 144: Finally Living Like an Idol

The Poseidon was sailing leisurely on the White Sea, and the Mobile Life Rescue Team was heading to Angel Island.

Because of the guidance of the nautical chart, poor Fran was once again forgotten by everyone. Since Gloria joined the ship, everyone has been living a happy life of singing and dancing every day, which adds a bit of fun to the originally boring long sailing life.

Leo was not among the people playing. After going out to sea, he plunged into the laboratory. At this moment, a design drawing was spread out on the laboratory table. This was the design drawing of the spaceship that was searched from Odin's temple after defeating him.

That's right, the future Enelu completely inherited Odin's legacy, whether it was the Thunder Fruit or the technology from the moon. The difference was that Odin wanted to conquer Qinghai, while Enelu was obsessed with returning to the moon. Was it just because of the endless land? After careful recollection, Leo felt that Enelu was mentally ill.

He shook his head vigorously to clear the arrogant face of Enel from his mind. Looking at the blueprint in front of him, Leo decided to upgrade his Seastone Mecha. After fighting with Odin, Leo found that his combat effectiveness was weakened too much in an environment that was not conducive to the use of the fruit. In the past, he could use the Seastone Mecha at will in places near the sea, but due to the influence of the sky island environment, the concentration of seastone factors in the air was too low and he could only use water armor. This would infinitely magnify Leo's weakness of being poor in physical skills. If he went to a place where there was not enough water, he would completely lose his combat effectiveness.

Leo will never allow this to happen and must develop an all-terrain combat armor. This reminds him of the time he spent with Dr. Vegapunk, when he vowed to become the Tony Stark of the pirate world.

With a self-deprecating smile, it seemed that the ability to freely control the seastone factor had made Leo forget his original intention. He decided to start from scratch and create a combat weapon that best suits him.

He picked up a pen and started to draw the design. The power source was still electric energy. With the addition of Gloria, it was more convenient to charge the Ark reactor. The weapons were no longer just laser cannons. At least small missiles were added. Leo felt that he must have been crazy to abandon all the boyish romance.

Of course, seastone bullets and seastone trapping devices are also indispensable. Leo doesn't want to experience being kite-fed by someone whose speed exceeds his own again, especially against a natural ability user. His long-range physical attacks are unlikely to be effective, and seastone weapons often have the ability to kill at first sight.

There are also auxiliary weapons, such as flash bombs, sonic boom bombs, and smoke bombs, but the conventional ones are definitely useless. They can only clear out minions, which is not what Leo needs. The auxiliary weapons he wants are the kind that can have unexpected effects when fighting against strong opponents.

The last thing is to add the rune technology of the huge kingdom into it. Currently, Leo only masters [Teleportation]. However, this rune is basically useless in single-player combat. He has to arrange the teleportation array, charge the energy, and adjust the position. After three steps, he would have been killed by the opponent. For a moment, Leo fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, Leo's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something, and then the little stars in his eyes became more and more, and finally turned into krypton gold dog eyes. He pounded his head hard: "Thanks to the masters of my previous life, I actually forgot such a cool design."

After organizing his design ideas, Leo immersed himself in the drawings, working without sleep for two consecutive days.

……

On the deck, Charles pushed the dining cart and looked at Ah Fu with a worried look on his face: "It's been two days. The captain's body will not be able to bear it if it continues like this."

Ah Fu was unusually serious: "Leave it to me, we have to interrupt him. He has not eaten or drunk for such a long time, why does he need to risk his life so much?"

Suddenly, the door of the laboratory was pushed open with a bang, and Leo looked at everyone with messy hair: "Hahahaha, it's finally done. I, Brandon Leo, have finally become like an idol."

Seeing everyone staring at him in amazement, he said, "Hey, let's cheer together for my great design."

Leo walked out of the laboratory with the blueprint in his hand, looking excited, but he fell flat on his face before he took two steps.

Everyone:...

One minute, two minutes, everyone felt like a long time had passed, but their captain still remained face down and motionless.

Will, Victoria, Gloria: "Ah~ Captain."

Charles also had an expression of disbelief on his face: "He's not really dead, is he?"

Ah Fu was somewhat speechless: "Save people first!"

Gloria calmly walked to Leo's side, tested his breath with her hand, then turned him over, put her hands together with arcs of electricity on her fingertips, and placed them on Leo's chest.

Bang! Leo's body arched, bounced directly from the ground and then fell down. A few seconds later, Leo opened his eyes.

"Huh? Why am I lying here? I'm so hungry, Charles, let's eat!"

Everyone:...

Five days later, everyone gathered on the Poseidon Soldier deck.

"Captain, is this your new armor? It's so handsome."

"Oh~ It looks very textured. Captain, try it on."

"Okay, I'll show you now."

A burst of electronic sound flashed by, and Leo put on the combat mecha type 1. The mecha was a shape between Iron Man's armor and Gundam, maintaining the human form while reducing some of the complexity of Gundam. Compared with Iron Man's design, Leo set the thrusters on the soles of the feet and the back, and continued to use the Gundam's shoulder armor, leg armor and back armor. The thickened shoulder armor has a built-in small missile launcher, and the thickened calf part has built-in auxiliary weapons and seastone weapons.

Ah Fu came over and knocked on the mecha shell: "Captain, this armor looks much thicker than before."

"Of course, this is designed to make up for my combat shortcomings. Now I will demonstrate it to you."

Activating the thrusters, the mecha slowly flew up and floated above the deck: "Let's get started!"

Whoosh! By increasing the thruster power, the mecha flew into the sky like an arrow from a bow. After a few seconds, the altitude climbed to more than 2000 meters, and it turned around and dived towards the sea at a faster speed. Amid the exclamations of the friends, the mecha drew a beautiful arc close to the white sea surface.

Leo piloted the mecha back and forth around the Poseidon for several circles, performing various difficult maneuvers in the air, and finally returned to the sky above the ship.

"How about it?"

Victoria: "Leo, you are so fast that my eyes can't keep up with you."

Those who can use Hun Haki also agreed. Even the strongest Afu said that most enemies can sense it, but their bodies may not have time to react.

Leo looked at the speed record. The average flight speed was maintained at 200 meters/second, the maximum power flight speed was 280 meters/second, and the fastest speed during a dive was basically close to the speed of sound, reaching 330 meters/second.

Leo thinks that this speed is the third fastest at sea. As far as he can remember, except for the Pika Pika Nomi and the Thunder Nomi, no one can be faster than him.

Next is the weapon test. The most classic and powerful laser cannon is still retained, but it has been moved from the shoulder to the palm. It still has two modes: low-energy launch and charged launch.

The small missiles on the shoulders made the men's eyes light up. They saw that Leo had a launching port slanted on the top of his shoulder armor and fired four small missiles, which then hit the sea 2 kilometers away. Everyone first saw a small mushroom cloud rising, and then they were blown blind by the oncoming shock wave.

"Captain, this power is too exaggerated."

"Yes, this kind of weapon must not be used at close range, be careful not to cause accidental injury."

"Don't worry, this is specially designed for naval battles. There are better weapons for single combat or close combat."

"There are new weapons, take them out and let us see them."

Behind the metal mask, Leo's mouth curled up slightly. Come on, let me show you the technology that transcends time and space.

In order to let everyone feel the power of the weapons more intuitively, Leo specially prepared several frisbee launchers. At a command, six frisbees were shot into the sky.

Then everyone saw four strangely shaped devices flying out from the back of the mecha. If Leo hadn't said that these were weapons, everyone would have mistakenly thought that the mecha was of poor quality and its parts had fallen off.

But these strange devices can actually fly. They first floated beside Leo, and then chased the flying disc.

A few blue lights flashed, and all the flying discs turned into powder. Before everyone had time to marvel, the four strange devices disappeared and returned to Leo's back.

When Leo was drawing the design, he was always worried about how to integrate the [teleportation] technology into the mecha. Influenced by inherent ideas, Leo also fell into the misunderstanding of the teleportation array, but suddenly the classic weapons of the mecha in his previous life flashed through his mind, and thus the [teleportation floating cannon] was born.

"Leo what is that?"

The friends all looked at him in surprise, especially the boys, whose eyes were twinkling with stars.

"Hahaha, keep firing, don't stop."

Everyone excitedly shot down all the frisbees at hand, and then saw a cool laser show. In just a moment, all the frisbees turned into powder. After clearing the target, Leo was still not satisfied and poured firepower onto the sea.

……

The trial model of the combat mecha returned to the deck. After the cabin was opened, a burst of hot air rose and Leo walked out of the cab.

The friends rushed towards Leo excitedly, saying, "Captain, you are such a genius. Leo's attack with the floating gun is so cool. I want Brother Leo too." All kinds of praises were heard.

"Hahaha, don't worry, we are still in the debugging stage. I will design one specifically for each of you in the future."

Everyone: "Long live the captain x7." Even the Prime Minister came to join in the fun.

After completing the first phase of testing, Leo returned to the laboratory. Although it was exciting to drive a mecha, it currently did not meet actual combat standards. So far, its mobility and weapon systems had barely met the standards.

But if you want to apply it in actual combat, you need to solve the three aspects of defense, carrying and rapid deployment. You can't just run around with a big box on your back like a Saint Seiya. Moreover, you have to enter the mecha before the battle, and the enemy will not give Leo this opportunity.

Since there are too many new armor parts, it is no longer realistic to rely on the ability to extract seastone factors to transform the mecha as before. Leo has tried it himself and found that it takes 10 minutes to build the current armor, and he has to use his full ability to imagine the shape of each part. Leo feels like his brain is about to burn out.

As for defense, the first thing Leo thought of was to refer to the characteristics of water attached to the surface of the fishmen. He planned to convert the seawater attached to the surface of the mecha into a non-Newtonian fluid. In terms of materials, the hardest material Leo currently has is seastone. The hardness varies according to the density. Leo once asked Afu to test it with the great swordsman's slash. The seastone that can resist the great swordsman's attack has a very high density. The high density naturally increases the weight a lot. Mr. Afu couldn't cut that piece, and Leo couldn't lift it even with all his strength.

Tsk tsk tsk, Leo felt a headache, the force in this world was too unscientific, a single sentence of endless will could demonstrate a powerful attack power, is this fair? If it were teacher Vegapunk, he would definitely come up with a solution.

Rapid deployment is also a problem. Leo remembered that more than ten years later, that bastard Valpo accidentally synthesized Valpo metal, a kind of memory metal, which might be able to solve this problem, but where could Leo find Valpo metal now?

Looking at the combat mecha again, Leo said to himself helplessly: "Big guy, it would be better if you were aware of it yourself."

...It seemed like a subconscious soliloquy, but it gave Leo an idea. Yes, the problems in this world that cannot be solved by science can be solved by metaphysics. He almost ignored the unscientific power of the Devil Fruit.

Leo slowly turned his head towards the shelf where a devil fruit collected from the West Sea was placed.

Maybe this is the key to breaking the deadlock.
