One Piece: Under the Throne
Chapter 24: Target 1 Leagues Under the Sea
After dealing with Captain Fanny, Leo wanted to try how much his ability had improved, so he stretched out his hand towards the sea. As the ocean power was activated, a huge wave over 50 meters high rose. Then Leo waved his hand, and the wave began to move forward, as if a small tsunami had erupted.
"Fuck, my ability has improved so much. Before, I couldn't even create a small tsunami by waving my hands. This is like a cow in a steamer. It's really awesome."
Leo tried to sense the moisture in the air again. He once thought that it would be great if he could extract moisture from the air at any time to activate his abilities. Before, he could only sense it but could not control it. Now that his ability has improved, Leo decided to try again.
As expected, Leo clearly sensed the tiny water molecules in the air, and with a focused gaze, he drew out the dagger, and saw the water molecules begin to gather on the blade. Feeling that the dagger was about the right weight, he suddenly swung forward with a [Deep Blue Blade].
A deep blue water blade appeared out of thin air 50 meters in front of the boat. The water blade cut through the air and split the water along the way.
"Great, it worked! But I need to practice more in the future, the starting speed is a little slow." Although there were still some flaws, Leo nodded with satisfaction.
After experimenting with his abilities, Leo planned to return home. After the Shenzhou ability was activated, the boat was pushed onto the waves like surfing and headed towards Shampoo Land.
After all the trouble, Will was still sleeping soundly, but Captain Fanny was awakened. She looked at Leo blankly, then looked at the ropes that bound her, and suddenly cursed: "You despicable boy, dare you let me go and fight me one-on-one."
Leo's expression was very annoying, and he said to Fanny nonchalantly: "Haha, I don't dare. Why should I fight a prisoner in a duel?"
Fanny's face was still furious as she yelled, "Look into my eyes." Then nothing happened. Fanny remained staring, motionless, and after a while, she revealed a look of horror.
"Why is this happening? Why doesn't my fruit ability work? What did you do to me?" It was this sentence that cost Fanny her life.
Leo suddenly realized his mistake. He forcibly extracted Fanny's fruit ability, but ignored her as a person. He naively wanted to exchange Fanny for a bounty. If this fell into the hands of the navy and they found that Fanny's fruit ability was gone, he would definitely be included in the suspect list, and at that time CP0 might be asked to come and check the water meter.
Leo cursed inwardly for being careless, and then looked at Fanny with a murderous look. Fanny obviously realized it, and kept kicking her calves and retreating in fear, but the deck was so small, where could she escape to? The blue blade cut across her neck, and Fanny's head tilted and she died.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was already evening when they returned to Shampoo Land. Will was awakened by the rumbling of his stomach. The fat boy seemed to have forgotten what happened before and asked for food as soon as he woke up. Leo saw that there was still half a bag of food left in the cabin and did not get off the boat. The two of them had a meal on the deck.
Seeing that Will was eating happily, Leo smiled like an old father and pushed all the food in front of him: "My son, eat slowly, don't choke."
"Ah? What did you say, brother?" The fat boy was so focused on eating that he didn't hear what Leo said.
"Ahem, it's nothing. Will, how old are you this year?" Leo coughed twice to cover up the embarrassment, and then immediately changed the subject.
"I'm 12 years old. Big brother, look at my teeth. I have 36 teeth now. When I have 48 teeth, I will be an adult. Hehehehe."
As expected, he is still a child. Leo seems to have forgotten that he is only 11 years old. Having lived two lives, he does not think of himself as an adult when facing Will. And Will's simple personality also makes him like him very much. Thinking of this, Leo looked at Will with more kindness, "Come on, Will, eat more. You will be so cute when you are fat."
"Really? Thank you, brother. You're so nice to me. Yeah, yeah." Will smiled brightly and felt more motivated to eat.
"Will, do you want to be the boss?"
"Puchi! Ah, big brother, what did you say? Let me be the boss? No, no, I will always be your little brother and will never betray you."
"Look how scared you are. I just asked you to pretend. You pretend to be a bounty hunter, and I will be your assistant. The two of us will take Fanny's head to the navy to claim the reward."
"Why don't you just go and get it? You are the real boss anyway." Hearing that it was an act, Will was no longer nervous and continued to stuff food into his mouth.
Leo put his arm around Will's shoulders and said, "It would be too ostentatious if the navy knew that a pirate with a bounty of 5000 million was killed by a little kid. We need to keep a low profile now, so it's safest for you to play the role of a pirate hunter and collect the bounty. You're such a big guy, the navy won't be suspicious if I dress you up, and then we can say we're a pirate hunter duo."
"But I can't pretend to be a pirate hunter."
"You don't have to say anything. Just hum a few words when the navy asks you something. I'll answer the rest for you."
"Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you." Will nodded stupidly.
No. 60-69 of Shampoodi is a naval base, and foreign ships can only dock at No. 60. Leo gave Will a big bamboo hat with a veil hanging on it, a stolen two-handed sword on his waist, and the same black cloak he wore when he went to Shampoodi. He looked like a chivalrous knight in the martial arts world, and I don't know if there are knights from the Flower Family in this world.
After repeatedly reminding Will several times to just put on a sour face and talk less, he walked towards the gate of the base carrying the bag containing Captain Fanny's head.
"Stop, what are you doing? No unauthorized persons are allowed in the naval base."
Leo also got himself a mask, no wonder the navy soldiers looked at him with suspicion: "Sir, we are pirate hunters, and we are here to collect the bounty." After saying that, Leo shook the bag in his hand.
The soldier still did not relax his vigilance and continued to ask: "Whose reward is it?"
"It's Captain Fanny, the captain of the Psychedelic Pirates, who has a bounty of 5000 million berries."
The navy soldier was obviously frightened: "A pirate with 5000 million? Please wait a moment, I will go report to the commander." The navy soldiers did not dare to neglect the pirate hunter who could deal with pirates of this level, and they unconsciously used honorifics when speaking.
Not long after the soldier entered, a team of soldiers came out of the base and took him and Will in. The rear admiral stationed in Shampoodi at this time was Huoshaoshan. Leo knew that he was a strong and gentle uncle, um... he should still be a young man with ideals.
After the soldiers brought Leo and the other man to the office, they stood guard at the door. The person who greeted them was not the chief of the Huoshaoshan base, but his deputy, Lieutenant Ryan.
"Hello, I'm Lieutenant Lils Ryan. I heard that you captured a pirate nicknamed Dream Fanny from the Psychedelic Pirates?"
"Yes, Lieutenant Ryan, but we only brought back Fanny's head." After saying that, he put the bag on the desk.
Lieutenant Ryan found Fanny's wanted poster from a thick stack of wanted posters. After carefully comparing it with the head, he ordered his men to take the head away.
"You are very strong to be able to kill a pirate with a bounty of 5000 million. Are you interested in joining the navy?" Ryan looked at them with admiration, his eyes mainly on Will. He believed that Will was the main force in hunting pirates.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lieutenant Ryan. My boss and I are used to freedom, so we have no intention of joining the navy."
Ryan did not comment. It was a common practice for the navy to extend an olive branch to powerful pirate hunters, and of course being rejected was commonplace. Seeing that he could not recruit them, Ryan began to take an interest in the identities of Leo and the others.
"I don't know what your names are, I'll make a record for you so that it will be convenient for you to exchange for the bounty in the future."
Leo thought for a moment and said, "Just call us Sea Knight."
"Haha, that sounds impressive. Could you two show your faces?"
Hearing this, Leo showed an embarrassment: "My identity and that of the boss are not suitable for walking openly in Shampoo." As he said that, he lifted a corner of Will's veil, allowing Lieutenant Ryan to see Will's murloc appearance. Will also curled his lips and snorted coldly, vividly interpreting the unwillingness and resentment of the murlocs who had been enslaved by humans for a long time.
When Lieutenant Ryan saw that Will was actually a murloc, he understood why the other party covered his face and smiled awkwardly. There was nothing he could do about it. The murlocs in Shampoo were very valuable. Lieutenant Ryan, who had been stationed here for a long time, also understood the situation here. The navy here was still doing its job conscientiously, but it was powerless against the slave auction house with a complicated background.
Perhaps out of sympathy for the merfolk, this kind-hearted naval officer quickly completed the bounty collection procedure and handed the suitcase containing 5000 million berries to Leo.
With the bounty in hand, Leo decided to take Will to the most upscale restaurant in the Sabaody Archipelago for a good meal, and he even chose a private room with a service charge without hesitation. It wasn't that Leo was showing off because he was rich, but he was mainly afraid that Will's identity as a murloc would cause a disturbance. Even so, Will was still hurt by the contempt in the waiter's eyes when he served the food.
"Will, don't worry about the looks of irrelevant people. No one can bully you when big brother is here."
"Thank you, brother. I understand. I understand everything..."
"Alright, let's eat quickly. You've been hungry for a long time. Let's celebrate our successful hunt today."
After a hearty meal, they returned to the boat. While eating, Leo kept thinking that he was getting bored of staying in Shampoo for so long. He had originally planned to come here to make some money, and now that he had easily achieved his goal, it was time to continue his journey.
According to the original plan, the next stop was to go to Water City to change boats, and then return to the Four Seas through the Upside-Down Mountain. But now that he met Will, he wanted to go to Fishman Island to take a look.
After deciding on the course, Leo stopped talking and told Will to hold the rudder. He then activated the Shenzhou ability, and a hollow water ball wrapped around the hull, then dived into the seabed.
Since they were sailing at night, Leo could not see the dreamlike scenery of the shallow sea of Chambord after diving, which made him a little disappointed. Fortunately, Will led the way so that they could dive in the dark.
The fish-men don't need to look at the direction in the sea, they can return to the Fish-Man Island relying on the instinct of their blood. However, Will's eyelids were already fighting each other due to sleepiness. Leo was afraid that he would fall asleep, so he had to stuff a super spicy takoyaki into his mouth, and then the little fat man became completely alert.
The seabed in the world of pirates is truly amazing. As the diving depth exceeds 5000 meters, the surrounding color gradually changes from pitch black to dark blue, and the visibility becomes even better.
Leo could sense that this was a world full of life. Large marine creatures could be seen everywhere, and several even passed by his small boat.
With the help of Shenzhou, the boat dived very quickly, and soon arrived at the location of the underwater waterfall. Going down the waterfall, it went straight down the river for a thousand meters, and suddenly the view was clear. The Fishman Island, like a pearl in the sea, came into Leo's sight.
After passing through the double bubble cover, the boat landed steadily in the harbor, and Leo and Will finally arrived at Fishman Island safely.
