One Piece: Under the Throne

A few days later, two large ships sailed into the waters of the World and arrived at Cake Island.

"Friends, we are going to stay here for a few days, everyone have fun, Wanguo is pretty good."

Leo stretched and gave instructions to everyone lazily.

"Big mom's territory is known as the Ten Thousand Kingdoms. You can see different clans here and eat delicious food, so enjoy yourself, buddies."

The girls' eyes lit up when they mentioned desserts. The sweet smell that was mixed in the air along the way made them unable to hold back.

Victoria wiped her saliva and said, "Donuts, chocolate, cream cake, macarons, I don't know what to eat."

Gloria covered her mouth and laughed softly, "Watch your weight if you eat too many sweets. But the Sea Emperor's territory is different from what you imagined. It seems that the people here have a very high happiness index."

Leo gave them a puzzled look and said, "Are you happy? Compared to other places, it is happy in some ways, but there is no such thing as a perfect place. You should go and see for yourself."

While Leo was talking to his friends, Katakuri came over and reminded him that they could set off: "Come with me, it's dangerous to keep your mother waiting for too long."

Leo shrugged, "Let's go. I've been looking forward to meeting Big Mom."

"You should call me mom, you will be my brother-in-law sooner or later anyway."

"Hey, hey, hey, Katakuri, we are brothers after all. Isn't it too much for you to always have your eyes on my body?"

As Leo spoke, he boarded the carriage heading to the castle.

The carriage seemed stable but it was actually moving very fast. It passed through the forest and soon arrived in front of the Cake Castle. After this, Leo and Katakuri no longer had the heart to argue with each other. They came to the door of Big Mom's dormitory without saying a word.

Creak! With a dull sound, the heavy door was pushed open, and a huge figure was hidden in the shadows. Leo couldn't see the other person's appearance, but could hear the sound of chewing.

"MAMA, MAMA, is my dear Katakuri back? You must have completed your mission and brought back the boy who dared to disobey me."

"Mom, the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Sea Angel, brought it to you."

Hearing this, Leo stepped forward and bowed elegantly to Big Mom: "Ma'am, I'm glad to meet you. I've only heard about you from my father before. Today, I see that you are indeed worthy of the status of the emperor of Shanghai."

"Dad? Are you from the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"No, as you can see, I am one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea appointed by the World Government, but my father helped me a lot when I was a child. He invited me, but I refused."

"Hahahaha, you actually rejected Whitebeard's invitation. I really want to see the old guy's frustrated expression. Boy, you told me all this. Do you think I'm afraid of your background?"

"Of course not. No one can threaten the Emperor of the Sea. Telling you this means that I cannot become your son-in-law. The World Government will never agree to it. And I have also rejected my father's invitation to board the ship, so you don't have to feel embarrassed."

In the shadows, only malicious eyes and a big mouth drooling like a devil could be seen. Big Mom's tone suddenly became tough: "What if I insist on keeping you? No one has dared to stand me up since I went to sea. You have set a precedent."

"Stay or Life!" Big Mom recited the soul spell, and her aura became more and more terrifying.

Leo was not frightened by Big Mom's aura, and continued to answer calmly: "Forgive me for being rude, I will not surrender, but I think with your generosity as the emperor of the sea, you will definitely not care about my small mistake. To express my apology, I am willing to compensate you with a copy of the red history text."

Leo's words made the atmosphere stagnate. After a brief silence, Big Mom continued, "You actually know the whereabouts of the red stone? Give it to me now."

"I can retrieve a copy of the red historical text for you. It will take about half a year."

"Are you kidding me? A rubbing? What I want is the original text of the red stone!"

"I'm sorry I can't do that, but I can help you interpret the content of the historical text."

"Well, you know how to interpret historical texts. How do you prove it?"

"I studied at O'Hara and successfully passed the historian's exam. As for how to prove it, are you interested in the information about the Pluto battleship?"

"Hmm? You also know the whereabouts of the ancient weapons?"

"No, no, no, I'm talking about Pluto's information, not Pluto's whereabouts. I once saw a historical text in the royal mausoleum of Alabasta that recorded the information about Pluto's battleship. It described the power and manufacturing process of ancient weapons. I have to say that the description above also scared me."

"Tell me everything you know, and I will not hold you responsible for running away from marriage."

Leo's mouth curled up slightly, he took the bait. As expected, Big Mom could not change her bad habits as a pirate. Even if she became the emperor of the sea, she was still like a pirate and wanted to take everything for herself when she saw it.

"Big mom, I think the deal should be fairer. It's obviously unreasonable for me to use two big secrets to exchange for your forgiveness, so I also have a small request that is not excessive."

Big Mom was so angry that she laughed. This kid dared to make conditions to her. Was he really not afraid of death? However, Big Mom did not lose her temper immediately. She still held back her anger and wanted to listen to what Leo had to say.

"I need you to help me split off a part of my soul and inject it into the item I design to make Homies."

"Hmm? That's not an unreasonable request. Do you want to imitate my fighting style because you admire it?"

"Who doesn't like the ability to give life to objects? And you are the only one who can do this in the ocean, so I want to make this deal with you."

There was another silence. Big Mom didn't say anything, but just looked at Leo seriously.

Although the plan to get this kid to join my team has failed, he has taken the initiative to join me now. He even dares to ask me to help him split his soul. I will not be polite to him then.

Big Mom decided to do something when dividing the soul. As an expert in playing with souls, she was confident that she could control Leo through the soul.

"Okay! No problem. I agree to your request. So when will you bring back the contents of the red stone for me?"

"Any time, but I want you to help me split my soul before I leave."

"Oh? Okay, Katakuri, go guard the door and don't let anyone disturb us."

Hearing this, Katakuri bowed slightly, and before leaving, he took a deep look at Leo's back.

……

The process of splitting the soul was not as painful as Leo had imagined. It could even be said that he felt nothing at all. He only slightly felt as if something was being pulled out of his body.

"Are you ready, kid? No problem, I'll start dividing your soul."

Leo placed the shrunken Freedom Mech in front of him and said, "Please inject the separated soul into this item."

"Hehehe, no problem!"

As Big Mom spoke, she began to exert force with her palms, and Leo instantly felt a tearing sensation in his soul.

"Oh, by the way, I have some news that might interest you. Do you want to know the whereabouts of the nun?"

"Do you know where the nun is? Tell me quickly!" The sudden news made Big Mom very excited, and the hand that was holding Leo's soul would unconsciously exert force.

Leo's expression remained unchanged, and he continued calmly, "I don't think you would do anything when dividing the soul, right? If you accidentally make me lose my memory, you will never see the nun you miss so much again."

"Boy, how dare you threaten me!?" Big Mom was instantly furious, with veins exposed on her forehead and on the hands that were holding the soul, but she did not dare to kill Leo.

"This is just a friendly reminder. Compared to my life, the conditions I put forward are more difficult for you to refuse."

"Remember your promise."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leo felt his eyes go dark and he knew nothing.

A few hours later, Leo slowly raised his body from the ground. He shook his head vigorously. The splitting of the soul was not as painful as he had imagined, but the aftereffect was like someone hitting his head with a hammer.

Leo felt much better after a short rest. After he completely recovered his senses, he suddenly felt that the free mecha in front of him had a strange connection with himself, just like his hands and feet. No matter how he moved, with his eyes open or closed, he could accurately sense the position of the free mecha and accurately control its every movement.

"Boy, you finally woke up. The division of souls alone can keep you unconscious for so long. I am far inferior to you. Now you can tell me where the nun is."

Leo ignored Big Mom. All his attention was on the Freedom Mech. Now the image of the Freedom Mech really turned into a small figurine, and it was a living figurine. Leo only took one glance and was 100% sure that it was the incarnation of his own soul, because the Freedom Mech posed in an extremely childish way.

"If you ignore me, I'm going to kill you."

Big Mom's angry roar woke Leo up: "I'm sorry, it's a bit difficult to adapt to the first time my soul is split. This feeling is too strange."

"Stop talking nonsense. I only care about the news about the nun. If you dare to lie to me, you know what will happen to you."

"How dare I joke with you about this? I can't describe where the nun is now, but I can help you bring her here."

Seeing that Big Mom was about to get angry, Leo quickly added: "If you don't believe me, you can send Katakuri to go with me. If you don't believe me, then I don't believe your son either."

Big mom was a little hesitant. Leo's erratic attitude made her feel uneasy. Fortunately, he took the initiative to ask her son to follow him, which made her feel more at ease.

"Okay, Sister, the text of the red stone, and the translation of the ancient text for me. If you dare to break your promise, I will kill you even if I chase you to the end of the sea."

The heavy bedroom door was pushed open again, and Leo walked out of Big Mom's bedroom with satisfaction. Unlike before he went in, when he came out, there was a blue and white figure on his shoulder.

Now both of Leo's shoulders are occupied by someone, with the Prime Minister lying on his left and Freedom sitting on his right. Leo feels that his look is too sexy.

Katakuri leaned against the wall with his arms folded across his chest, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Leo seemed to be fine.

But when he opened his mouth, he still expressed his concern in a cold tone: "Your business is done. How do you feel after your soul is divided?"

Leo suddenly put on a funny expression: "Brother, I feel like I'm going to break apart!"

Katakuri: ...?
