One Piece: Under the Throne

Just as Maya was struggling, the pirates who rushed into the village also discovered them. It was obvious that the pirates had a clear purpose in attacking the village. The moment they saw Maya, they gave up destroying the village and rushed towards her with a roar.

"Boss, look, it's that girl. Baoyu must be with her."

"Hehehe, little girl, hand over Baoyu. As long as you are obedient, we won't make things difficult for you."

Maya screamed, hugged Baoyu and turned to run, but her speed was no match for the fierce pirate.

Before he could run out of the village, he was surrounded by three pirates.

"Keep running, this little girl has a pretty strong personality, I like her so much."

"Look at the package in her arms. Baoyu must be inside."

Hearing this, the pirate leader reached out to snatch the package. Maya was so scared that she took a few steps back, tripped and sat on the ground.

The pirate leader walked towards Maya with a sinister smile, and suddenly he raised his scimitar and slashed down.

Maya closed her eyes in fear, but even at this critical moment she still held Baoyu tightly.

However, the pirate did not hurt Maya, but simply cut the package with a knife, and the three precious jades rolled to the pirate's feet.

"Is this the precious jade? It doesn't look special. I'll give it to you and report it to that person."

"Boss, what about you?"

"I like this one better than Baoyu. Go away and don't disturb me while I'm doing my work."

The pirate minions sneered knowingly and soon disappeared at the end of the road.

"Hehehe, all the people who are in the way have left, now it's time to play games..."

"Ah! Damei, don't come over here."

"Hahaha, the louder you scream, the hungrier I am, ugh..."

The pirate was halfway through whispering when he felt a chill in his throat, and then fell into endless darkness.

"Ms. Maya, I'm here."

A familiar voice reached her ears, and Maya slowly opened her eyes. It was indeed that reassuring face.

"Mr. Afu, please save our village, wuwu..."

"Don't worry, my companions have already gone to clean up the pirates. Everything will be fine with them around. Are you hurt anywhere? If you are, be sure to tell me. There is a doctor among my companions."

Victoria, who was clearing out pirates somewhere in the village, suddenly felt a chill on her back, as if someone was targeting her.

……

With the addition of Leo and his group, the pirates were quickly subdued. In order to avoid leaving a bad impression on the villagers, Leo deliberately held back and only defeated the pirates and detained them.

Instructing Will and Gloria to escort the pirates to the naval base, which was actually just finding a place to deal with them, Leo and his crew began to help the villagers treat their injuries.

"Can this mushroom heal wounds?"

"Yes, eat the umbrella cap, grind the root into powder and apply it to the wound, the knife wound will heal quickly."

"It's amazing, there's such a magical healing medicine out there."

Victoria felt extremely happy when she was suddenly praised, but she still had a proud look on her face. However, from the moment she started to distribute healing mushrooms to everyone using pea soldiers, it could be seen that the little girl was very proud now.

Charles was not idle either. He was making lunch for everyone. His gorgeous knife skills and tempting smell immediately attracted a group of children to gather around the kitchen counter.

Others who had nothing to do were communicating with the elders in the village.

"Thank you for helping the village fight off the pirates. Without you, many people would have died today."

"You're welcome, grandma. It's our job to wipe out pirates."

"Oh? You are also in the navy?"

"No, but we are similar to the navy. Our mission is to eliminate pirates and protect civilians."

"It's good that you're not in the navy." Upon hearing this, the old lady on crutches breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huh? Is the navy scary?" Leo asked curiously.

"I don't know about other navies, but as for the navy here, let's not talk about it. Although it's not appropriate to mention it at this time, grandma still wants to ask, are you here to look for the Seven Star Sword?"

Leo didn't hide anything and answered directly: "Yes, but we are looking for the Seven Star Sword for the purpose of curing illness."

"The Seven Star Sword can also cure diseases? You guys have been deceived."

Leo raised his finger and pointed at Gloria: "My companion was also injured by the magic sword, and the magic energy has been hidden in her body. I heard that the Seven Star Sword is also a magic sword, so I want to try to fight poison with poison and use the Seven Star Sword to draw out the magic energy in Gloria's body."

"What?" Upon hearing this, the old lady on crutches instantly changed her shape. Her height, which was originally just up to Leo's shoulders, instantly became twice as tall as Leo.

"This is really shocking news, but I advise you to give up and never chase after the Seven Star Sword. Anyone who picks up the Seven Star Sword will turn into a bloodthirsty murderer."

Leo chuckled. "Grandma, I know all about the history of the Seven Star Sword. You may not know that I'm a historian. I've already seen the ruins on the island yesterday. I don't think my companions will be defeated by the Seven Star Sword, so we won't give up."

"Hey, another self-righteous brat. To tell you the truth, the Seven Star Sword already has an owner, and his owner was once a good guy with a sense of justice, enthusiasm and integrity."

When Ah Fu heard that the Seven Star Sword had a master, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked, "So how is he now?"

"What else can we do? From the moment he picked up the Seven Star Sword, Saka is no longer Saka. He has been controlled by the Seven Star Sword."

Next, as grandma told the story, the swordsman named Saka gradually became clear in everyone's impression. Saka was a one-armed swordsman, an outsider, who was washed here because of a shipwreck and then rescued by the villagers.

At first, Saka never talked to anyone and was very depressed, but Maya comforted him and gradually helped him to open up his heart. From then on, Saka began to integrate into the village. Until a few months ago, a group of pirates attacked the village. In order to save Maya, Saka had to pick up the Seven Star Sword. After that, he successfully defeated the pirates and was controlled by the Seven Star Sword.

At this point, grandma sighed deeply: "Alas, it's a pity for Saka, the righteous boy. He always said that his sword was the sword of justice and that his sword was to protect the weak. It's all because of the Seven Star Sword that completely changed him. The reason why we hate the navy is because Saka became the navy's swordsmanship instructor, and he used the Seven Star Sword to turn the navy into warlike and bloodthirsty monsters."

Perhaps stimulated by the words "Sword of Justice", Ah Fu stood up suddenly: "In this case, let me bring him back. If he refuses to wake up, I will beat him awake."

After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the village.

"Hey! Mr. Afu, please wait... Sakata..." Maya looked in the direction where Afu disappeared with a worried look on her face.

Seeing her like this, Leo rubbed his chin and looked displeased.
