One Piece: Under the Throne

Chapter 180 The King is a Real Man

Vivi and Kosa were stunned as they looked at Leo who appeared like a god descending from the sky. Just as they were staring at each other, they heard shouts and screams from behind. It was the pirates chasing Vivi who had arrived.

Leo's eyes swept to the back following the sound. Four floating guns aimed their barrels at the pirates. A few lasers flashed and the pursuing pirates turned into corpses in the blink of an eye.

Leo turned his gaze to Vivi again, thinking, what are these two kids looking at? Shouldn't they cheer for the Water Angel to be so awesome? After a long stalemate, Leo thought that he might have hit the children too hard and scared them silly, so he had to speak first to break the awkward situation.

"Hehe, are you okay? Don't worry, with me here, no pirate can hurt you." Leo was embarrassed by the two children and had to respond in an official tone.

It was not until Leo spoke that Kosha recovered from his surprise. He had been looking shocked just now: "You... who are you?"

Princess Vivi reacted quickly. She stepped in front of Kosa and saluted Leo generously: "Thank you brother for saving us. I am Princess Vivi of the Kingdom of Alabasta."

Leo's eyes lit up. What a sensible little girl. No wonder she is so popular in the future. "Hello, little sister Weiwei. My name is Leo and I am a tourist."

Seeing Leo's good attitude, Weiwei also took the opportunity to climb up: "Brother, are you a devil fruit user? You are so powerful."

"Brother, you are a person with special abilities, but the ability of the fruit you used to kill the pirate just now was not used. I am a scientist, and these are the weapons I invented."

Kosha finally recovered: "Weiwei, stay away from that guy, he is too dangerous... Ouch!"

Before Kosa could finish his words, he was slapped on the head: "You dumb boy, can't you see that I'm a good person?"

Kosa covered his head and looked at Leo warily: "How can a good person kill people in the street? Even if it is to save us, you...you can't kill anyone."

Leo looked at Kosa speechlessly, then turned to ask Weiwei: "Is your friend's brain okay?"

Weiwei giggled as she watched them bickering, then reached out and pulled Leo and the other man out of the alley.

Seeing that it was Leo's first time in the capital, Vivi took the initiative to act as a guide, chattering about the fun places in the capital. At the other end of the alley, Alabasta Kingdom guard Gaga was stopped by Fuku: "A subordinate of the Shichibukai? I know you're the great swordsman Fuku, why do the Shichibukai want to approach Princess Vivi?"

Even when someone pointed a weapon at him, Ah Fu maintained his elegant demeanor. He bowed slightly and said, "Commander-in-chief, we are just passing through your country and visiting here. Saving Princess Weiwei was just a coincidence."

Jaka pondered for a moment and said, "Thank you for the help, Lord Water Angel. I will report to my king immediately. I believe His Majesty will invite you to the palace for a gathering." Then he blew a whistle, and a huge figure fell from the sky. It was Bell the Falcon, another guardian of Alabasta.

After understanding the whole story, Bell flew into the air and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Inside the restaurant on the commercial street of the royal capital, Vivi and Kosa were wolfing down the delicious food. After being on the run for so long, the two children were already starving. Even the well-mannered Princess Vivi was tearing at the piece of barbecue in front of her like a little tiger.

Leo rested his chin on his head and looked at the two children with a smile. He had to admit that the little girl was adorable: "Eat slowly, it's all yours."

"Thank you, Brother Leo. Today I realized that the food outside is so delicious."

"That's nothing. There's a barbecue restaurant in the East District that's more delicious."

"Asshole Kosa, why didn't you ever take me there."

"Stupid Weiwei, I don't have any money. If I hadn't met this sucker today, we wouldn't have had the chance to eat here."

Leo was full of black lines on his face: "You are an unlovable little bastard. Eating can't stop your mouth. How can a commoner like you get together with a princess?"

Weiwei pouted and said, "Stupid brother Leo, what's wrong with civilians? The Nefertari royal family won't care about their identities. Kosha is my good friend."

"Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu... Wuwuwu." Kosha was so moved that he burst into tears after hearing the words, but his mouth was full of barbecue and he couldn't utter a word of gratitude.

"Haha, what I mean is that you, a little princess, usually stay in the palace, how could you know Kosa?"

Weiwei realized that it was a misunderstanding. She stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and then proudly introduced Kosa: "Kosa is great. He rushed into the palace to ask my father for help in order to save his drought-stricken village."

Suddenly Weiwei remembered something and giggled, "Kousha's face was all red from crying that day, like a little civet cat."

Kosa finally swallowed the barbecue in his mouth and shouted with a red face: "So-and-so is crying, Weiwei, you deserve a beating, don't you?"

Leo covered his face with his hands. This damn kid is destined to be alone. Do the adults in your family know that you are talking like this?

Weiwei also got angry and slammed her hands on the table: "Stupid Kosa, come if you want to fight. If it hadn't rained that day and saved you, I would have beaten you up."

Kosa wanted to refute, but when he heard Weiwei talking about the heavy rain that day, he lost his temper: "Yes, it would be great if it rained every day. There has been a drought recently, and the village can hardly hold on."

"Don't be discouraged, Boss. There will definitely be a way. Please believe my father..."

Before he could finish his words, the two children looked shocked again. Leo stretched out a finger, and a transparent water ball quietly rotated on his fingertips: "It's easy to make it rain."

Leo wiggled his fingers casually, and the water ball swayed in the air. The two children's eyes also swung back and forth with the water ball: "Maybe I was the one who caused the rain a few days ago."

Hearing Leo's words, the two children's eyes were full of stars, and they looked at him with admiration: "Brother Leo, are you a god?"

"Brother, from today on you are my Kosa's elder brother. Please save our village."

"Yes, brother Leo, please make it rain."

The two children praised each other one after another, and Leo's head almost reached the sky. Just as Leo was daydreaming, a group of soldiers pushed the door open.

The leader was Bell. He walked up to Leo, stood still, bowed and saluted: "Lord Water Angel, His Majesty Cobra knows that you have come to the capital and invites you to the palace for a meeting. Lord Water Angel, please do me the honor."

Here you are. Leo smiled and waited for you: "Okay, I've heard that His Majesty Cobra loves his people like his own children. I also want to meet His Majesty."

"Your Highness, please come back to the palace with me."

Seeing her friend's expectant eyes, Weiwei made up her mind and took Kosa's hand: "Okay Uncle Bell, let's go together. I have something to ask Brother Rio."

In this way, the group returned to the palace in a mighty manner. As soon as they arrived at the palace gate, they saw Ah Fu waiting for them: "Hey! Ah Fu, you are here too. You are so grown up, but you just disappeared without a trace. I had to look for you everywhere."

Ah Fu had an expression on his face that said, "I don't believe you." He saw how happy you were having with the two kids just now. Ah Fu had long been accustomed to his captain's outspoken personality and did not argue with him.

Soon the group arrived at the palace and met His Majesty Cobra. His Majesty was a middle-aged man with a simple and honest face. Before Leo could greet him, he rushed down from the throne and said, "Welcome, Lord Water Angel. Thank you for saving my daughter."

Leo has always been a man who never hits a smiling person. Besides, His Majesty Cobra is one of the few people in the One Piece world who is very sincere in his dealings with others. "Hello, Your Majesty. I have heard for a long time that Alabasta has become powerful under your governance. Today I see that it is well-deserved."

Leo was not being polite when he said this. Although some parts of Alabasta, the desert country, have drought problems, Crocodile has not started the Dancing Powder Project yet. So except for a few areas, most cities in the entire country are not affected by the drought. At this time, Alabasta's commerce and tourism are very developed. Moreover, as a big country, the country also has a large standing army. Except for the lack of top masters, dealing with ordinary pirates is no problem.

After some pleasantries, Weiwei took the lead in bringing up the previous topic: "Father, please save Kosa's village. The drought in their village is so severe that all the crops in the fields are dying."

His Majesty Cobra smiled bitterly. He certainly knew the boy's request, but as a king he couldn't do anything about the drought. He was about to open his mouth to comfort his daughter when he was interrupted by Weiwei: "Father, Brother Leo can make it rain."

Hearing this, His Majesty Cobra looked at Leo in confusion, and Leo demonstrated his ability again: "Your Majesty, I do have the ability to make it rain in the country, but a few rains cannot solve the problems of Alabasta, and I can't stay here forever."

Of course, Leo cannot waste all his time here, and Vivi understands this, but she still has a small hope in her heart. She hopes that Leo can stay in Alabasta and become the guardian of this place.

Looking at the dejected Vivi, Leo suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, although I cannot stay here permanently, the drought problem in Alabasta is not unsolvable."

Nani xN? His Majesty Cobra was stunned by Leo's words. He excitedly held Leo's hands and said, "Lord Water Angel, you really have a solution. That's great. Someone come and prepare a banquet. I want to entertain the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Damn! Do you have to be so realistic? I looked so honest, but I didn't expect that I could do such a thing. If I hadn't helped you solve the problem today, I wouldn't even have a meal.

Kolio came to see the king with a purpose, so of course he had to give some benefits first: "Alabasta has a long and narrow coastline and five port cities. I can provide you with seawater desalination equipment. These machines can convert seawater into fresh water. With a constant supply of fresh water, I believe it can slightly alleviate the drought in the kingdom. The second is artificial rainfall equipment. Although it cannot guarantee rainfall every day, it is still possible to have rainfall three or four days a month."

Nani xN? Leo's plan once again shocked everyone. Is it possible to do it this way? After a detailed understanding, His Majesty Cobra laughed out loud. He felt that the problem that had been shrouding him was about to be solved. He felt better and had an appetite. Just as the banquet was ready, His Majesty the King waved his hand and everyone went to the banquet hall in a mighty manner.

After eating and drinking, it was already night. Leo asked Afu to go back and inform his friends that he would stay overnight in the palace. At this time, he stood on the huge terrace of the palace, shaking his wine glass and admiring the night view.

King Cobra slowly came to Leo's side and said, "Lord Water Angel, what exactly is the purpose of your coming to Alabasta? Just ask me as long as it is within my ability."

As expected, a person who can become the ruler of a country is not a simple person. It seems that His Majesty's naive character during the daytime talks was all pretended. Leo guessed that he behaved like that in order to protect his daughter from being polluted by the world's intrigues.

But it does not affect the fact that His Majesty Cobra is a good person. At least Leo likes his character of speaking his mind. "Your Majesty, I want to enter the tomb of the Nefertari family. I am here for the historical text."

Cobra's mouth gradually widened until his chin was dragged to the ground: "Nanana... Nani?"
