One Piece: Under the Throne

After having interactions with three of the Seven Warlords of the Sea in succession, Leo no longer had the idea of ​​going back early. After thinking about it, the only person he hadn't dealt with was Shanks, who was always hanging around in the tavern, so he invited Fuku to go drink with him.

"Afu, let's go to the pub. I have someone I want to see."

"I'm not going crazy with you, just be careful."

"Tsk, so stingy. I'll go by myself then."

"Remember to pack some snacks to go with the drinks!"

……

After a while, Leo strolled to the tavern where he first met Shanks. The atmosphere in the tavern was still as lively as before. Leo found his target as soon as he entered the door, but he didn't expect that there was an unexpected surprise. The big red nose corresponding to Shanks was really unique.

Leo did not approach them rashly, but sat down at the bar, ordered a glass of juice casually, and listened to the drinkers chatting while drinking.

Leo listened for a long time and it seemed that everyone was discussing something about a falling meteor. After thinking for a long time, he finally figured it out. It turned out that the flying slash that Alfu made during the battle with Doflamingo just now was mistaken for a meteor.

At this time, a drunk drinker suddenly stood up and shouted: "The falling meteor appeared before Roger's execution. It seems that the gods can't tolerate the Pirate King."

This statement was very popular, and many of the drinkers around him echoed: "That's right, villains like the Pirate King deserve to die. Let's have a toast to the Navy!"

boom!

Just as everyone was drinking, a young man with a big red nose stood on the table, pointed a dagger at everyone and shouted: "Assholes, what nonsense are you talking about! You cowards, what qualifications do you have to evaluate the ship... Pirate King!" The person who shouted was Buggy, and he almost let the cat out of the bag in his excitement.

Bucky's words ignited the tavern, and the two sides staged a Rogue Town version of a war of words. The only awkward thing was that both sides were not very educated, and the female members of the other side's family appeared quite frequently during the verbal battle.

Bucky was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, his entire face turning red, almost as red as his nose.

"Red Nose, take back what you said right now and apologize, or you'll be let out lying down." After being pointed at and scolded by Bucky for a long time, the drinkers also got angry, and many of them held bottles of wine to teach Bucky a lesson.

"Asshole, who do you say is the big red nose?" Bucky was not to be outdone. After all, he had seen the world, and he was not afraid even if the other side had more people.

However, just as a big fight was about to break out, someone threw a wine bottle and hit the leader of the drinkers.

Crack! "Ah! Which bastard attacked me?"

In an instant, everyone's eyes turned to Leo, and he casually swung his hands, took out the porcupine gun and pointed it at everyone: "Get out!"

The black muzzle of the gun poured cold water on the emotional drinkers, making the originally noisy bar quiet in an instant.

But even so, there are still people who want to save face: "How dare you use a gun? Are you a crew member of the Pirate King, and are you here to save..."

Bang! Before the man could finish his words, a bullet hole appeared at his feet. Now the others didn't dare to pretend anymore, and they ran away screaming in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the empty tavern, Leo blew into the muzzle of his gun, then walked up to Shanks and Buggy with three bottles of rum, smiling.

"Come on, brother, don't go home until you are drunk today."

The suspicion in Shanks' eyes disappeared, and then he put on a generous smile: "Thanks, brother, you are such a generous guy for helping us fight and buying us a drink. But are you an adult, kid?"

Leo glared at Shanks with disdain: "You are not yet adults either. My name is Leo, and I'm a navigator. Come on, don't be a coward!" After saying that, Leo sat down in front of the two of them.

Shanks laughed and took the lead in picking up the bottle and took a sip, then pointed at Buggy and said, "My name is Shanks, and this guy is Buggy. Didn't your parents forbid you to drink?"

Leo also took a sip, then pointed his finger in a circle: "Don't pretend, look at us, which one looks like an obedient child? Anyone who steps into the sea is a warrior, and warriors are all big and small. So who cares about what adults say."

Leo's words made Shanks and Buggy like him more. Boys' friendship often starts with doing "bad things" together.

So the three children in their early teens clinked glasses in the pub, and the atmosphere was very harmonious for a while.

The drinking session lasted until midnight, and what amused Leo was that Shanks and Buggy, whose faces were flushed from drinking, looked like two tomatoes with their signature red hair and red noses.

"Ahahahaha, Leo, you are such an interesting guy. I didn't expect that you are in the business of rescuing people from the sea."

"That's great, isn't it? If your face doesn't work one day, you can ask me to save you."

Leo replied to Shanks with a grin, then pointed at Buggy and yelled, "Bucky, you have a whale in your bottle, drink it up quickly."

This kid Bucky can't drink much and his drinking manners are a bit bad. Among the three of them drinking together, he is the slowest drinker and it is obvious that he is not a decent person.

Now that he hadn't finished drinking, Buggy was the first to lie down. Leo and Shanks exchanged glances and decided to save his dignity. Then one of them grabbed Buggy's hands from behind, and the other directly put the bottle into his mouth and started to pour wine.

Suddenly, a foreign object was inserted into his mouth, and liquid kept flowing in. Bucky sobered up instantly, but when he tried to struggle, he found that his hands were restrained. He could only stare with his eyes wide open and whimpering.

The rum was running out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Bucky, dead!

However, the two culprits did not think there was anything wrong. Instead, they laughed out loud at Buggy's funny appearance: "Haha, men on the sea should drink and eat meat to their heart's content, cry when they want to cry and laugh when they want to laugh. This is freedom."

"Leo, you are quite knowledgeable. I think you are born to be a pirate. Do you want to be my companion? A peaceful life is not suitable for you with your unruly personality."

"Don't just look through people so easily, you bastard!"

It was already past midnight, and the lights on the entire street began to go out gradually. Only the sound of laughter could be heard from the pub. Ah Fu leaned against the door and looked at the drunken teenagers with a smile on his face. After a while, he sighed, "It's great to be young!"

Seeing that Leo could no longer hold on, Alfu walked to the table, carried his captain on his back, and then nodded goodbye to Shanks.

Shanks drank the last bit of wine and shouted at Leo's back: "Hey! Leo, you really don't want to go to sea with me?"

This sentence made Leo, who had fallen asleep, suddenly open his eyes. He turned around and made a face at Shanks: "No, even if I am not a pirate, I can still ride freely on the sea. I will make my name resound throughout the sea."

Shanks was stunned for a moment. Let the name resound throughout the sea? That's great!

"Hey! Wait a minute." Shanks called Leo again.

"What else?"

Shanks lowered his straw hat, seeming to find it difficult to speak.

"Can you...can you ask that little girl to stop following me? I...I'm afraid Bucky will misunderstand!"

……

“Are you afraid… afraid that Bucky will misunderstand?”

Leo felt a chill running down his spine and then his anus tightened.

"So... you two are in that kind of relationship... Ugh!"
