One Piece: Under the Throne

Luo glanced at the people in Flowing Life with fierce eyes. He held a dagger against Leo's neck from behind and threatened the others to prepare the lifeboat, but to Luo's surprise, no one moved, but just looked at him with amusement.

"What are you looking at? If you don't listen to me, I will really kill him." Luo felt a little panic in his heart. These people were too calm.

Leo burst out laughing, "Haha, hahahahaha, kid, this is not a threat."

"You...what are you laughing at? I'll kill you if you laugh again." As he spoke, the dagger was directly against Leo's neck.

However, Luo had been on the run for a long time, during which he was beaten up by Vergo, and now he was extremely nervous. He was so exhausted that he could hardly hold the dagger. Luo encouraged himself in his heart and must not fall asleep and escape quickly.

Just when Luo felt a double image in front of his eyes, Leo suddenly spoke: "Boy, you are from the white town of Frefans, right?"

Hearing the name of his hometown, Luo's eyes widened instantly: "You...how do you know who you are?"

"The unevenly distributed white patches on your face are symptoms of platinum lead disease. Anyone with a little knowledge can recognize it."

Victoria warned with some concern: "Leo, be careful. Platinum lead disease is an infectious disease with no cure."

Leo shrugged nonchalantly. "No, platinum-lead disease is an infectious disease. It's just a lie made up by the World Government to cover up the truth. In fact, platinum-lead disease is more like poisoning than a disease. It is a symptom caused by people's long-term exposure to platinum-lead ore."

Leo's words made Law's glasses turn red instantly: "You still say you are not from the World Government, you bunch of butchers." Law's remaining rationality completely disappeared, and he raised his hand to stab Leo to death.

Suddenly, a stream of water wrapped around Law's arms and tied him up tightly, lifting him into the air. Leo stood up and looked at Law, "I'll say it again. We are not from the World Government. We took you away because we are afraid that you would fall into the hands of the World Government."

"We are not only not enemies, but we are the benefactors who saved you and Rosinante from Dover. Don't you have to show your appreciation?"

"Who knows what your purpose is? Where is Mr. Corazon? What did you do to him?"

"What else can we do? He is a lieutenant commander in the navy, so of course I will hand him over to the navy."

Luo suddenly fell silent, and the deck fell into silence for a moment. Leo was worried that he might misunderstand Rosinante, so he started to explain: "Don't doubt his kindness to you, kid. If we don't get there in time, what do you think Rosinante would do?"

Luo looked at Leo in confusion. Leo continued with a serious face: "He will be killed by Dover, but Rosinante will not die until you successfully escape. I think you must know the reason."

Leo's words brought tears to Law's eyes. Yes, Mr. Korra would try his best to live, just to prevent the Silence Fruit from becoming ineffective. Law said in a trembling voice: "How is he...?"

Leo released Law by releasing the water flow, then rubbed his head: "Don't worry, his life is not in danger. Instead, you need to adapt to the Operation Fruit as soon as possible. Only in this way can you be saved. Don't let Rosinante's efforts go to waste. You heard our conversation just now. Hide yourself before you grow up, and don't get caught by the World Government."

Luo knelt on the deck, as if all the strength in his body had been drained away, and big tears fell: "Why, why do Mr. Cora and you all want to help me like this, is it because of D?"

Leo gazed at the calm sea and said quietly, "You don't need to make excuses for the love given by others. Nothing is restraining you anymore. The strength of the White Town or the short life, nothing can stop you. You are already free. I think this is what Rocinante wants to say to you."

Woo~Ah~Ah~Ah, Leo's words made Luo burst into tears. No one came forward to comfort him. Everyone looked at him quietly until the boy was tired of crying and fell asleep on the deck.

A few days later, the Poseidon docked at Feiyan Island, and Luo waved goodbye to everyone with his luggage on his back.

"Brother Leo and everyone, thank you for your care during this period. I'm leaving now. I want to go see what Mr. Corazon said the sea is like."

The partners of the Flowing Life also waved goodbye to Luo. Although they only spent a short time together, everyone recognized this child with fierce eyes but warm heart. Leo suddenly remembered something and took out a small notebook from his arms and threw it to Luo: "Catch it, kid. There is information about the ability of the Operation Fruit in it, which should be helpful to you. Try your best to survive. We will wait for you on the sea."

Luo's eyes began to moisten again, but this time he held back his tears. He thanked loudly and bowed 90 degrees to bid farewell to the Poseidon.

The boat went farther and farther until the island disappeared from sight. Leo withdrew his gaze and sighed deeply. Everyone had gone to do their own things, and only Alfu stayed with Leo.

"What a good boy! Captain, is he also a pawn you have arranged to fight against the World Government?"

Leo glared at Ah Fu unhappily, and recalled his communication with Luo in the past few days. Leo once asked Luo what he thought, and whether you, who have seen the evil in the world, are hostile to this world. However, Luo said that he still believed that there is warmth in the world, and made it clear that he would not become a person like Dover. This made Leo confirm that this child insisted on finding the light even in the deep darkness. After learning all this, he changed his mind.

"Forget it, Luo should live according to his own will. I believe we will meet again on the sea in the future. Ah Fu, I have never forgotten our original intention. For children like Luo, I will not impose my will on them."

Hearing this, Ah Fu's lips curled slightly and he stopped talking. He quietly admired the sea at dusk with Leo.

……

In the power space of Pangu City, Marshal Zhan Guo climbed up the stairs step by step with a solemn expression. When he reached the end of the stairs, he took a deep breath and then pushed open the door. Behind the door were five old men who held the pinnacle of world power.

"Greetings to His Excellency the Five Elders."

The God of Scientific Defense, Satan Saint, spoke first: "Marshal Sengoku, what do you want to report this time?"

"I want to nominate a strong man to become a Shichibukai."

Sengoku's words successfully attracted the attention of the Five Elders. They were obviously interested in this proposal: "Oh? Hasn't the Navy always opposed the Seven Warlords' proposal? Why are you suddenly nominating someone?"

"You have misunderstood, sir. Any new proposal will cause controversy, and the same is true for the Shichibukai plan. Everyone has the right to express their opinions, but the final decision lies with the World Government, and the Navy will resolutely execute orders."

The God of Justice, Saint Vochuli, smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, Sengoku. The five of us trust you completely. Tell us who you want to recommend this time."

"I wonder if you have heard of the Mobile Life Rescue Team. The person I want to recommend is their captain, Leo. He has defeated countless pirate groups in the past few years and has a good reputation among civilians. He also helped the navy to fight against the fleet of the Sea Emperor. He is a rare master. He is a Devil Fruit user and has the ability to control water flow. This ability is particularly advantageous in naval battles, so I suggest that he be brought into the government."

"We have also heard about the floating life forms. Combining your description, we can see that they have a strong sense of justice. But why don't they recruit them into the navy?"

Hearing this, Zhan Guo sighed: "Leo is also a person who shouts slogans of freedom. Roger's execution still has too much impact on this generation of children. Fortunately, the other party hates pirates, otherwise there will be another big pirate on the sea."

The God of Finance, Nasu Shoulang Sheng, slammed the knife in his hand to the ground fiercely: "Freedom? Those who yearn for freedom are those who despise the rules. That guy named Leo is not a quiet person either. It is better to eliminate this powerful potential threat in advance."

The environmental warrior god Maz Saint has a different opinion: "I think Sengoku's proposal is very good, and the idea of ​​freedom is not extreme. We don't need to force him to become an enemy. Inviting him to become a Shichibukai is a way to kill two birds with one stone."

Seconded x3.

Except for the God of Finance, the other three Five Elders agreed to the God of Environment's proposal: "Then we will pass this proposal, and we will send Leo an invitation letter to the Seven Warlords later."

The God of Finance snorted coldly and looked at Zhan Guo again: "Those little things are not important. The Navy's top priority right now is to quickly find the mastermind behind the riot in the Holy Land. I don't care what method you use, but this matter must be explained."

The other four people also looked at Zhan Guo together, and a powerful pressure spread out, but Zhan Guo was not affected at all. After accepting the order, he turned and left. After the door was closed, Zhan Guo's mouth curled up to reveal an ambiguous smile.

"You can't run away now, kid. Since you have been fighting pirates for a long time, I won't care about the shit you did to the world nobles. I hope you can be more restrained in the future. Tsk! He urged us to find the mastermind behind the riot in the Holy Land again. Maybe the mastermind is that kid Leo. Forget it, just find a random pirate to put the blame on."

At the same time, the Poseidon arrived at the East China Sea. Compared with other sea areas, this place is much more peaceful. This is Leo's second time here, and this destination is also Rogue Town.

Four figures were lying on the side of the ship: "It's so boring. It's also the sea, why is the East China Sea so calm? I feel like a salted fish. If this continues, my body will rust." A peaceful environment and calm seas mean no business, which makes our poster girl completely unmotivated.

"I am the salted fish, and you are obviously a human being."

"Sister Gloria, please sing a song." Victoria was not used to this kind of life either.

Gloria thought for a moment and replied seriously, "This atmosphere is quite suitable for a lullaby. Do you want to listen to it?"

Leo walked to the side of the boat and looked at everyone helplessly. They were lying on the fence, their arms swaying in the wind, like a row of dried salted fish. "Everyone cheer up, we'll be in Rogue Town soon."

"Hey, what's that?" Everyone followed Gloria's fingertips and saw a black bat swaying and flying towards them. The black bat came in front of Leo, flapping its wings and handed him a letter with a black cover.

He raised his eyebrows, could this be..., opened the envelope and sure enough, it was an invitation letter from the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Leo instantly recalled what Sengoku had mentioned about the great gift, old man, are you trying to trick me?

Leo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but his hand froze in mid-air as if he thought of something. Becoming a Shichibukai seemed not bad, wouldn't it be possible to sail more freely? As far as he remembered, the Shichibukai could ignore the orders of the World Government.

Moreover, how can a king who wants to overthrow the world stay away from the throne? Many of the future Seven Warlords of the Sea harbor ill will towards the World Government. When Leo thought about it this way, he really felt that everyone was of the same kind. It seemed that he must have a seat under the throne.
