One Piece: Under the Throne

"Brother Tiger, you're going to have a hard time in the next period of time."

"Oh? Brother Leo, are you going to lead the team to chase us yourself?"

"Hahaha, it is said that of course the five old men above gave the order personally, and the navy also received the order. Although I don't want to say this, you better be gentle this time. If you can escape, kill fewer navy soldiers."

"This is too much to ask. If they hit me, won't I be allowed to fight back?"

"Brother Tiger, don't be discouraged. Although there are problems with the approval of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, I believe that it will be approved in the end, and the opportunity will come soon, as long as you can survive a year."

"Leo, I can't joke with my brother's life. If you don't have a solid plan, I'll have to do things my own way."

"How about this? I'll give you another insurance. I'll have Will secretly go over to help you modify the ship. Its power will definitely exceed that of the navy. I'll also provide you with intelligence. You have everything going for you, so what do you have to worry about?"

"Well, I hope everything goes well."

After hanging up the phone, Leo fell into deep thought. Although they were slowly pursuing the Sun Pirates, it was not a solution to keep pretending to obey their orders.

"Afuku, which route has the most pirates in Paradise Sea recently?"

"The second BBQ Island route is just a bunch of small fry. Who told you to kill the supernova in one go?"

"It's okay if the quality is a little worse. Anyway, we frequently encounter pirates and fight with them while chasing the Sun Pirates. If the World Government calls us again, just tell them. Okay, I'm going to sleep now."

……

On the flagship of the Sun Pirates, Tiger was also worried. They had been at sea for 8 years and they had killed countless pirate groups and rescued countless slaves. But even with such achievements, the World Government still refused to accept them and even refused to give him a place as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Without the status of Shichibukai, Tiger and Leo's plan could not proceed, and the long time was almost wearing out his patience.

At this time, Jinbei walked up to Tiger and said, "Brother, what did Leo say?"

"The World Government asked him to come after us personally. Leo's idea is to keep dragging it out. He also said that there will be an opportunity to become a Shichibukai in a year."

"Is it because the human traffickers we killed last time angered the government? No wonder those people said that we can't afford to offend the forces behind them."

"It's not just that. Leo once advised me that affecting the interests of too many people would bring disaster. Maybe I'm too persistent."

Regarding the Sun Pirates' continuous fight against slavery crimes, Leo once advised Tiger to be more restrained and just save his compatriots, but Tiger eliminated the human traffickers time and time again and faced many helpless eyes. Finally, Tiger understood what Princess Otohime meant by empathy. From then on, he no longer stuck to race and would save all slaves. While gaining fame, he was also hated by the people behind this interest chain.

The slaves rescued by Tiger are often civilians. They have little influence and some of them don't even dare to tell the truth, which has led to the current situation of the Sun Pirates.

Jinbei saw Tiger's helplessness and patted Tiger on the shoulder: "Brother, you are our boss, your order is our will, so don't be confused, just do whatever you want, and I don't think what we did is wrong."

Tiger felt slightly relieved as he looked at the blue fat man in front of him, but the more Jinbei said this, the more he felt sorry for his brothers. Just when Tiger was confused, a shout from his subordinate interrupted him.

"Brother Tiger, we have spotted a caravan ahead. The flags belong to the Don Quixote family."

The Don Quixote family? That bunch of clowns again. Their arms business and slave trade have grown rapidly in recent years. The Sun Pirates have intercepted their family's slave ships many times.

After only a brief hesitation, Tiger immediately ordered the other ship to stop.

"Young men, take control of the caravan and let's see what goodies are on it."

Roar xN!

The crew jumped into the sea like dumplings, and launching attacks from underwater was their common tactic.

On the merchant caravan side, the sailors also discovered the Sun Pirates: "Captain, it's those fishmen."

"Why are they here again? Tell all the ships to turn around. We must not let them find the cargo on board. Go and report to the young master and request support."

At the order, the three merchant ships turned around at the same time, but how could the speed of the ships compare to the swimming speed of the fish-men? In less than five minutes, the vanguard of the Sun Pirates caught up with the merchant caravan. The fish-men swam in circles under the merchant ships, creating whirlpools and controlling the merchant ships.

Then a dozen fishmen jumped out of the water and onto the deck, and the opponent was knocked down without much chance of fighting back.

Soon Tiger also boarded the merchant ship and ordered his men to check the warehouse. As expected, one of them was full of human slaves.

So Tiger ordered all the sailors to be thrown into the sea to feed the fish and seized three ships.

……

A few days later, Leo learned the news. He called Tiger helplessly and said, "Brother Tiger, I have to say that you guys are doing a much better job than the navy. But if you keep exposing your position like this, you will be discovered soon."

Tiger sighed, "I know, but I won't give up. Leo, you know what I've gained the most in the past eight years is the understanding and gratitude of humans. They've gone from being afraid to being grateful, which makes me feel that the time for the fishmen to be recognized is not far away, so I won't back down."

Leo was speechless at this time. Should he say that he was worthy of being a hero? What Tiger did was absolutely just. At least in Leo's opinion, he surpassed most of the navy. Now that he got Tiger's affirmative answer, Leo didn't intend to persuade him anymore.

"Okay, Brother Tiger, just do what you think is right. I will try my best to help you."

Leo's answer made Tiger's mouth curl slightly: "Hahaha, you are worthy of being our brother. Don't worry, no one can catch us even if they can't beat us on the sea. Besides, we have the boat that Will modified for us. It allows me to experience the speed of mermaids."

This analogy is a bit exaggerated, but the speed of the Sun Pirates' flagship has indeed increased a lot after being modified by Will, even exceeding the swimming speed of most merman, and only a few special species of merman can catch up.

Leo erased the image of Tiger with a human body and a fish tail from his mind and continued to ask about his next itinerary: "Brother Tiger, where are you going next? I will try my best to avoid your route."

Tiger glanced at the little girl who was trying to clean the deck, and replied with a smile: "We are going to Forshat Island. There is a little girl from the group of slaves we just rescued whose hometown is there. We want to send her back."

Sending a little girl back to her hometown? Why does it seem familiar? After thinking carefully for a while, Leo was shocked: "No, Brother Tiger, you must not land."

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"Oh no, I mean if you must send that girl back to her hometown, don't land. It would be terrible if you lose the advantage of the ocean and get ambushed."

"Hahaha, brother, you are too cautious. Sending this girl back was just a spur-of-the-moment decision. Who would go there in advance to ambush us?"

"Um... okay, but you must promise me that you only need to send them to the island. You and the other brothers should not go on the island. Once you send them, leave immediately."

"I'll listen to you."

After hanging up the phone, Leo ordered the Poseidon to sail at full speed towards Forshat Island.

Forshat Island is located in the middle of the Paradise Sea. It is a very small island. After seven days, Leo finally approached it.

Will asked with some concern: "Is Brother Tiger really in danger? Let's go help him quickly."

"No, this is the limit, we can't get any closer, and I always feel like something is wrong."

The last time he spoke to Tiger, the other party asked why the navy would ambush him in advance, which made Leo realize the problem. The little girl on Tiger's ship was definitely Kerla's future sister-in-law, and Tiger was ambushed by the navy because he sent her back to her hometown.

Leo suddenly felt a little terrified, he had clearly stopped Tiger from climbing up to the Red Earth Continent with his bare hands, and he thought that the World Government would not care about the small pirate group now that they had not been charged with causing trouble in the Holy Land to save slaves, but history seemed to be back on track.

Could this be the power of fate? Leo suddenly felt a chill on his back: "Will, take Brother Tiger's life card, you dive under the water, and if he is in danger, you help him."

After Will left, Leo still felt unsafe, so he called Zhan Guo again.

"Uncle Sengoku, do you have any information about the Sun Pirates?"

"Leo? You haven't caught them yet. That's not like your efficiency."

"It's all because of those CP idiots. The intelligence they provide is always outdated. I'm chasing after the fishmen. How can I do anything without timely intelligence?"

"Haha, you called me just to complain?"

"Of course not. Aren't you navy also chasing the Sun Pirates? Since I helped you save a shipload of soldiers, I'll share the information with you."

Leo was in a slack state when chasing Tiger, until Tiger sank a warship, Leo quickly arrived at the scene, rescued the navy, and delayed for three days on the grounds of waiting for support. This was also the closest Leo has ever been to the Sun Pirates.

"I see. According to the intelligence, the Sun Pirates will land on Forsat Island. I have already sent people over. If you are not far away, go and support them."

WTF! A word expressing surprise flashed through Leo's mind. What he worried about really came true: "Okay, thank you, bye."

Bang! Zhan Guo stared at the phone blankly. He hung up on me again? Leo, you are too realistic, but...

"Ask Kizaru-chukai to come see me."

A few days later, the Poseidon passed by a warship 50 nautical miles from Forshat Island.

Leo stared blankly at the middle-aged man with a wretched face on the opposite boat.

"Hey! What a coincidence, Brother Leo. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Hello Mr. Huang, I didn't expect to run into a navy even though I was lost. That's great."

"Ah? ...Are you lost too?"

Leo: ...

Kizaru:......

"Ahahaha, yes it really is a coincidence. x2"
