One Piece: Under the Throne

The score was 1:1, and after everyone was happy, the game continued.

A fishing competition was then held. The contestants were Victoria and the monkey. The monkey used his tail to easily catch several large fish, while Victoria's plant fruits were simply a powerful tool for fishing. The seeds used as bait began to grow wildly once in the water and instantly turned into a large net. The vines entangled several large fish hideously. The result was self-evident. Rio's team took the lead again by one point.

The pole climbing competition was won by Benk Punch from Shanks' team, the lasso competition was won by Will, and the rock-paper-scissors competition was won by Ben Beckman. This playboy who doubted his own life even pulled Leo aside to persuade him for a long time after his victory. No one knew what the two were plotting.

As the sun set, the town seemed to be dyed golden. As the sky darkened, a bonfire was lit in the square, and everyone sang and danced around the fire and had a party.

"Ah! What a great feeling! It's so nice to have some cold beer after the event." Shanks drank the beer heroically.

Leo also drank the wine in his glass and showed a nostalgic look: "It's been more than ten years since the last time I drank like this. By the way, where is your friend, the guy with the red nose."

"As for Buggy, he has his own ideals. He separated from me after the captain executed him. I believe that guy is still active on the sea."

Leo thought to himself, of course, the lucky God Buggy with the Conqueror's Haki is more than just being active, but he couldn't explain it to Shanks.

Luffy and several other kids were running around in the crowd, occasionally running up to Leo and Shanks, clinking their glasses playfully before running away again. Shanks looked at Luffy kindly, "Leo, can you imagine a 5-year-old kid punching a much stronger bandit for his friend?"

Leo showed a puzzled look: "Is there anything strange about this? Both of us have lived on the edge of a knife since childhood."

"It's different. We were forced to do it, but Luffy is really not afraid of danger. He has an adventurous spirit in his bones."

"Stop talking nonsense. There's no point in brainwashing me. We are tied now and it's not certain who Luffy will listen to."

Shanks looked unhappy: "Ah? You still refuse to give up, then continue. Who is afraid of who? What do you want to compete with?"

Leo looked disgusted: "Ask me? You must be drunk. Hey Luffy, what game do you want to watch?"

Luffy really started to think seriously after hearing this. He counted the completed competition items on his fingers, then looked around and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Let's compete in singing."

Shanks laughed and patted Leo on the shoulder: "Leo, you are done. We have Uta for singing competition. You are lucky to be able to enjoy the voice of an angel."

Leo shook off Shanks' hand: "Are you sure? Then let's wait and see." Leo thought the singing competition was a foregone conclusion. Shanks was obviously a country bumpkin. Since Gloria came to Qinghai, she has successfully released several albums after years of hard work and even held a concert in Shampoo. Didn't Uta recognize her idol at first sight?

When the people who were still drinking heard that there was going to be a singing competition, they consciously made way for the center of the venue. Uta started first. At first, the little girl sang Binx's Wine a cappella. Before she could sing a few words, the accompaniment sounded. It was Gloria playing the piano. Uta was very moved to see her idol personally accompanying her, and she sang even harder.

Everyone could sing the cheerful Binks Wine, and gradually everyone started humming along, and the atmosphere of the banquet instantly reached a climax.

Leo was no exception. He put his arm around Shanks' shoulder and showed a long-lost smile. He hadn't relaxed like this for a long time. After deciding to make trouble for the World Government, Leo has been forcing himself to improve over the years, and the entire team has been busy. But today's atmosphere made him realize that he had lost too much joy.

Clap, clap, oh, ho! One more! Uta finished singing and everyone applauded the little girl.

"Well, well, this is my daughter, the future big star on the sea."

"Very good, Uta has the potential to become a big star, but she is still a little immature now."

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you still being so stubborn?"

"Hehe, the future big star will never be as good as the current big star. Let me open your eyes today."

Leo quickly found a pen and paper, and while Gloria was still in the preparation stage, he quickly wrote down the classic One Piece OP "The Navigation Chart of the Heart".

"Wait a minute, Gloria. The song has changed. Please play this one."

Gloria took the music score with a puzzled look on her face while holding the electric guitar. She originally wanted to play "Blue Bird", but her captain's sudden whim disrupted her plan. Gloria read the music score carefully, and her eyes gradually brightened up. It was really an inspiring song, and it was very suitable to sing it for today's occasion.

Gloria made an OK gesture to Leo: "Don't worry, Leo, I'll let Victoria and Gloria get familiar with each other first. Wait for me for 10 minutes."

Originally, Gloria was the only one on the ship who understood music. Over the years, she has trained everyone to be able to play a few instruments. Victoria is the keyboardist, Gloria is the drummer, and today the three of them will perform on the same stage.

After instructing the band, Leo asked the village chief to turn off all the lights in the town. Now, except for the bonfire in the center of the square, other places were completely plunged into darkness.

"Leo, what are you doing? It's just singing a song."

"Tsk tsk tsk, Shanks, please don't scream your throat out."

Suddenly, the sound of drumsticks colliding was heard in the darkness, followed by three beams of light shooting down from the dark night sky.

[Don’t worry! Go forward bravely, the sun will always be in our hearts]

[The tightly held hands give me infinite courage, and together we can realize each other's ideals]

What is this? It's really great! Exciting music! Goddess, I love you!

The villagers of Windmill Village and the companions of the Red Hair Pirates were a little uncomfortable at first, but as the guitar solo sounded, everyone raised their hands unconsciously and danced to the music, and then burst into warm cheers.

Shanks was already going crazy at this time. He was deeply moved by the lively melody and inspiring lyrics of Heart's Navigation: "Leo, is this your crew member? It's really amazing. I would like to call her the number one musician of pirates."

"Asshole! She's a big star, cheer for her loudly."

【We work together to ride the stormy waves】

[The exciting heartbeat is urging us to set sail]

[It is a good time to set sail now]

[Break through the rising sea breeze and sail towards the ocean of adventure]

There was excitement in Uta's eyes. It was her first time to watch an idol performance up close. Gloria's shining figure had been deeply imprinted in her heart. Shanks came to his daughter and stroked her hair with a complicated look in his eyes.

The moment Uta turned her head, Shanks put on his usual carefree smile again: "Uta, do you like it? Do you want to be like them?"

Uta nodded vigorously: "I like it. Uta will also become a big star in the future!"

"Yes, I will definitely do that, and I will become a superstar that surpasses them."

The cheerful singing floats into the night sky. I really hope this carnival can go on forever.

……

The next morning, Shanks and his crew were busy at the port, supplies were constantly being moved onto the ship. The Red Hair Pirates, who were originally going to stay in Windmill Village for a year, decided to set sail early.

Leo and his friends, as well as Luffy and Makino came to see him off. Luffy looked at Shanks reluctantly, with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Are you leaving?"

"Oh, yeah we're leaving now, to continue our adventure."

"I won't ask you to take me away anymore, because I've decided to be a pirate myself."

Shanks stuck out his tongue and made a face at Luffy: "Can you become a pirate like this, you crybaby who never grew up."

Luffy shouted loudly: "I will, I will definitely become the Pirate King! Surpass all of you"

Leo covered his face with his hands beside him. He was indeed a stubborn and silly child. Perhaps it was because of this stubbornness that Luffy was able to make a name for himself in the sea full of dangers.

Just after Luffy shouted out his famous saying, Leo's eyes sparkled, looking forward to the next famous scene.

Sure enough, Shanks took off his straw hat and put it on the head of Luffy who was still sulking: "Want to surpass us? Then this hat is given to you for safekeeping. It is the most important hat to me, so you must take good care of it." Luffy watched Shanks and the others leave with tears in his eyes and said nothing.

Leo put his hands on Luffy's shoulders and looked into Shanks' eyes. Suddenly Shanks grinned wickedly: "Lio, I won this match. Luffy, I'll wait for you on the sea." After saying that, he smiled and waved goodbye to everyone.

Everyone watched the Red Force go farther and farther until it disappeared from sight. Leo shook his head helplessly and said to himself: "After all, it was defeated by the weapon of causality."
