One Piece: Under the Throne

"Ahhh... ugh..." Alfred managed to hold on without fainting. The seastone mecha couldn't fly, but the propulsion generated by the jets under their feet sent them to the beach in big leaps.

As soon as Alfred landed, he felt his legs as soft as noodles. While vomiting, he said to Leo: "Ugh! Leo...you...Ugh! You did a good job. Don't do this next time."

Leo looked at him with disdain. A great swordsman? The best fighter in the kingdom? That's it?

"Can you do it? How about you just vomit here and I'll stop the bombardment for you?"

"No, no, those are the Royal Navy. They are all warriors of Gorudo. I have to stop them myself."

After saying that, Alfred forced himself to hold back the dizziness and stood up: "Leo, there are no ships nearby. How can we get close to the warship?"

"How about flying again?" Leo asked tentatively.

"Again? Oh no, no, is there a more stable way?" Alfred was so scared that he kept waving his hands. He really didn't want to experience that feeling of wanting to vomit bile again.

Leo pouted, "Look at your lack of ability!" At this distance, Leo wanted to sink the three warships more easily than drinking water. But in order to help Alfred, he had to send him over with great effort.

Leo grabbed Alfred's arm and said, "In that case, I'll take you surfing. You shouldn't be afraid of surfing."

"Surfing? It's no big deal. Don't look at me like this. I grew up by the sea. At that time, I was the only one who conquered the highest waves in the whole village." Alfred showed a rare expression of pride.

"Okay, you're the most wild, then I'm relieved." Leo showed his signature smirk again, and Alfred instantly had a bad feeling.

As soon as the two men jumped onto the sea and stood firm, a huge wave as high as 50 meters rose up and rushed towards the warship with them.

"Oh my god, what the hell is this. Lili...Leo, you'd better not let go." Alfred looked down with a grim face. It seemed that he was too young. It turned out that the surfing Leo talked about did not require a board at all. It really was just stepping on the sea water and relying on the waves.

Rio made such a big noise that the warships had already noticed it. When they saw people coming on the waves, the three warships directly targeted them for concentrated fire.

Seeing Leo concentrating on controlling the waves, Alfred decided to do something. He tremblingly drew out the holy sword and swung a few flying slashes to intercept the shells. However, both the Gorud Royal Navy and the Paladins overestimated themselves.

The cannonballs were completely unable to stop the huge waves from advancing, and the flying slashes were also unable to intercept the cannonballs, and the two sides passed by each other as if neither knew the other.

"Are you really capable? Why is your aim so bad?"

"I...I can do it. You're helping me get used to it."

"Don't get used to it, we're here!"

"What's arrived!"

Before Alfred could react, the huge wave hit the warship directly. When it was about to hit, Leo waved his hand and cancelled his ability. The already stunned Gorud Royal Navy was soaked, and Alfred also appeared on the deck with the sword in his hand.

At this moment, all the soldiers on the deck were staring at Leo and Alfred with their jaws dropped. After a long while, an officer finally responded: "Sir Knight Commander, weren't you executed?"

Alfred's face turned red, and he sheathed his sword in a sword flower shape: "Ahem, let's talk about your problem first. Who gave the order to bombard the capital? Are you planning treason?"

"We received a secret report that the eldest prince assassinated the king and launched a coup. Our army, under the orders of the second prince, bombarded the palace and killed the thief to avenge our king." The captain stepped out and answered.

"On the contrary, Lord Alfred, you have been sentenced to death. Why are you here now?"

"Of course I am here to stop you. No one has the right to order an attack on the capital. Your actions will make countless civilians victims. Please stop immediately and follow me back to the city."

The officer did not respond to Alfred, but questioned his behavior: "Did you escape secretly? You, a fugitive, are trying to persuade us to disobey military orders. Soldiers, catch them."

At the officer's command, the soldiers surrounded them, with dozens of muskets pointed at Leo and Alfred. Then the officer suddenly changed the order and ordered to open fire. Bang, bang, bang, dense gunfire rang out, and bullets rained down on Leo and Alfred.

"It seems that this side is deployed by the second prince. These two brothers are quite capable." Even when a gun was pointed at Leo, he was not afraid at all. The moment the gun was opened, Leo put his hands together and used [Deep Sea Tornado] to block all the bullets.

After doing all this, Leo looked at Alfred again: "What are you still hesitating about? Don't waste your time talking to them. Things have come to this point, and there is no way this can end without bloodshed."

Alfred also recovered from his shock. Indeed, the enemy had already shown his fangs, so there was no reason for him to hold back. A flash of sword light passed by, and all the soldiers surrounding them fell to the deck, covering their arms. Two more sword strikes destroyed all the artillery.

There was a sudden wailing on the deck, but Alfred still held back, and the soldiers were only injured and no one died.

The officer was shocked and immediately asked for help from the other two warships: "You are the traitor. You must have surrendered to the prince, you despicable man who has abandoned your loyalty." The officer's words completely ignited the soldiers' anger. Even the wounded soldiers glared at Alfred.

"Look! Even if you don't want to kill them, they won't appreciate it."

"It's okay. This isn't the first time I've encountered this. They are just following orders, so I won't kill them. Leo, please rescue the soldiers who fell into the water. I know you can do it."

Alfred is now relieved after being misunderstood again. As long as he can stick to his beliefs, what does it matter if he is not understood?

After a while, all the wounded soldiers and soldiers who fell into the water were gathered on the deck, and the officer who had been shouting was gagged by Leo and trapped on the mast.

Under the angry gazes of the soldiers, Alfred calmly recounted what happened before and after the rebellion in the royal capital. When the soldiers heard that Alfred had killed the mafia boss, their hostility eased slightly.

"That's all there is to it. Whether you believe it or not, the most important thing now is to return to the capital to appease the civilians and stabilize public order. As for who you will be loyal to in the future, we will have to wait for the outcome of the game between the royal family members."

At this time, several soldiers who admired Alfred spoke up first: "Sir Knight, it's not that we don't want to go back. You just showed your might and destroyed the ship."

Alfred blushed slightly and looked at Leo again. Leo understood and jumped out: "Hey, I can take you back."

Without waiting for Alfred to react, he grabbed his arm again and jumped off the boat. Then a huge wave lifted the warship and pushed it to the shore.

The soldiers on the ship were so frightened that their eyes popped out of their sockets, and they all shouted: "You bastard, are you going to murder us?"

"Ah? I'm going to die!"

Leo stood on the sea and laughed loudly, waving goodbye to the soldiers: "Hahahaha, boys, go fight, I wish you good luck in military affairs!"

"Hey, Leo, you're being too reckless. But this is your punishment for them! Hahaha." Alfred also showed a long-lost smile and laughed heartily.

The war lasted from morning to evening. After preventing the conspiracy to bombard the royal capital, the Paladin completed his final mission. Although the process was somewhat painful, the ending was still perfect.

The setting sun shone on the sea. In the afterglow of the setting sun, Alfred knelt on one knee on the sea: "Thank you for letting me regain my honor and find the right path. From today on, I, Alfred, will be loyal to Leo, and from now on I will wield the sword for you."
