One Piece: Under the Throne

Chapter 80 Countdown to Disaster

Haiyuan calendar year 1500, Beka town. Just after the New Year, all the rare metals purchased by Ah Fu arrived, and everyone started to get busy.

"Will, bring me that metal plate."

"Be careful, just put it here."

Leo was afraid that there would not be enough time, so he decided to make a few more sets of teleportation runes so that he could carry out the transfer work through multiple channels.

"Okay, move on to the next one. Gloria, send this one to the cooling room first. Be careful."

"I know. You're very long-winded."

In order to ensure that the technology of the huge kingdom would not be discovered, Leo spent a lot of money this time.

The material used is a rare metal with a melting point of 2000 degrees, which not only ensures that it will not affect its work during artillery attacks, but can also be melted by a self-destruction device to eliminate traces.

After more than a month of hard work, Leo finally completed three sets of teleportation runes. After loading them on board, the Poseidon left the port and headed towards O'Hara.

"God is in the hands of man. We have carried out every step of the plan. If we still cannot save the scholars, it is God's will."

="What I am most worried about is whether I can persuade Dr. Kroba. The old man is too stubborn."

The Prime Minister handed Leo a newspaper and said, "You can use this to scare him. Even if scholars don't care about life and death, they won't be so stupid as to die in vain."

The front page of the newspaper that the Prime Minister handed to Leo was that the World Government had arrested O'Hara's archaeological team.

“When is this newspaper published?”

"I made it up, but based on the information you provided, it will become true sooner or later."

Leo took the newspaper with some suspicion, hoping that it could be of help.

The entire voyage was spent diving, which was a severe test of Leo's physical strength, but for the success of the plan, he persisted and finally arrived in O'Hara five days later.

Coming back here again, Leo has a stronger sense of mission than the first time. This is not only to save his friends, but also a secret confrontation between him and the World Government.

Leo left everyone on the boat and headed for the Tree of All-Knowing under the cover of night.

Today, Dr. Kloba is still the last one left. Recently, he always has a palpitation, as if something bad is about to happen.

Dr. Cloba also traveled to the sea when he was young. After experiencing countless life and death situations at sea, he firmly believed in his intuition.

Then the doctor remembered Leo's instructions before he left. He knew that once the secret research was exposed, many people would die, but Dr. Kloba still couldn't give up his persistence.

A few days ago, Robin also became a scholar, and after being awarded the medal, he proposed to join the research on the main historical text, which surprised Dr. Cloba.

Dr. Kloba's first reaction was that Robin was still so young and she should not be involved. She should have a more exciting life. Then he thought of Leo, which made the doctor very angry. Why didn't Leo take Robin with him when he left?

Just as Dr. Kloba was deep in thought, his mouth was suddenly covered by a hand. Before Dr. Kloba could struggle, he heard a familiar voice coming from behind him.

"Doc, it's me! Don't be nervous."

"No no no!"

Leo quickly let go of his hand and looked at the doctor with a wry smile: "Are you surprised to see you again?"

"Why are you back again? Didn't I tell you to stay away from O'Hara? Get out of here now."

"Come on, if I don't come back you and everyone else will be doomed. Are you willing to let everyone die with you?"

"We have all been prepared..."

Leo: "Stop, Doctor, stop preaching. I came back to save everyone. Don't look at me like that. The World Government has discovered the archaeological team, and O'Hara is in danger." After saying that, Leo waved the fake newspaper in front of Dr. Kloba.

"Don't mess around. Your future will be ruined if you do this."

"I don't have your firm belief. I can tell you clearly that I don't want you to die, so I came to save you. And I advise you not to take chances. Privately researching the blank 100 years is a capital crime."

"You know it's a capital crime, but you still want to get involved. Leo, we appreciate your kindness. Just take Robin away. We don't need you to worry about it."

"That won't work. I've been preparing for two months and have a very thorough rescue plan. You just need to follow my instructions."

Seeing that Dr. Kloba was still hesitating, Leo continued, "You've seen the newspaper just now. The World Government will not let O'Hara go. Doctor, no matter how tough you are, you can't change the outcome. So please cooperate with us to complete the plan of faking your death and escaping."

The doctor was silent for a while, thinking of the teleportation array of that huge kingdom, and finally made up his mind.

"Tell me your plan."

Leo told Dr. Kloba all the preparations for the past two months. After hearing the entire plan, Dr. Kloba finally gained some confidence.

"We will set up the teleportation array as soon as possible. You should behave normally recently and be careful not to let others see your flaws. If Robin's mother comes back during this period, you must keep her and reveal the plan to her when necessary."

"You're so nagging. Don't worry, I will cooperate with you in this scene. And how can you be sure that Olivia will come back? Wasn't she captured by the navy?"

"Don't worry about the details. What if she escapes?"

"I won't hide this plan from others, and I can't transfer the information in advance without telling everyone."

"Don't be so stubborn, old man. It will be bad for us if the plan is exposed too early. Which is more important, life or information?"

Dr. Kloba also shouted excitedly: "Of course the information is important!"

Leo: ...

Kloba's tone softened again and he continued, "Leo, you just became an archaeologist so you can't understand our feelings. Revealing the blank 100 years is the lifelong pursuit of archaeologists. Before we started the research, each of us was ready to sacrifice at any time."

"I'm sorry, Doctor. I don't mean to question you. Isn't it good to be alive and continue your research? You don't have to die. As long as you are still here, O'Hara will not perish even if the island is destroyed. Don't you want to uncover that history yourself?"

Seeing Dr. Kloba so determined reminded Leo of Roger, Whitebeard, Mr. Tom, and his teacher Vegapunk. They were really a group of great old men who were always thinking about paving the way forward for future generations, even at the cost of their own lives.

Let me save you this time. I will save the scholars of O'Hara.

"Doctor, please put on this bulletproof vest and don't take it off."

……

After notifying Dr. Kroba, Leo quickly returned to the Poseidon: "Partners, the plan has begun."

There were still a few hours until dawn, and Leo decided to start setting up the teleportation array tonight.

"Shh, keep your voice down, it will be bad if others see it."

The group carried the supplies and quietly returned to the Tree of All-Knowing. After some operations, they finally completed the arrangement before dawn.

The next step is to wait for the arrival of the World Government. Leo remembered that a few days before the Demon Slaying Order began, the Giant Vice Admiral Sauro would be washed up on the island, so he released Den Den Mushi flying monitors every day to explore the island.

Five days later, Leo finally found Vice Admiral Sauro washed ashore on the other side of O'Hara Island. He was covered in wounds and lying motionless on the ground. To Leo's surprise, Robin did not meet Sauro here as in the original novel.

Since the Titan Vice Admiral has appeared, it means that the World Government's agents will soon be here. Leo didn't think too much about it and jumped out of the sea and appeared in front of Sauro.

Feeling someone approaching, Sauro's fingers twitched a few times, and then this cute giant made an extremely childish move. Ah! He opened his mouth wide, raised his hands to the sides of his head, and made a face. He actually wanted to scare the child in front of him while Leo was not paying attention.

Leo's eyes twitched unconsciously, and Sauro looked at him with embarrassment. The scene suddenly fell silent, and after a stalemate, Sauro pretended to be exhausted and buried his face in the sand.

Sauro: "Water, give me water."

Leo: "Big guy, open your mouth."

The young man waved his hand and many water droplets appeared out of thin air, then condensed together to form a stream of water, which poured directly into Sauro's mouth.

Gulp, gulp! After the giant had drunk his fill, he turned over on the beach and turned to Leo and said.

"Ah! It feels so good to be alive again. Young man, you are a person with special abilities. What a convenient ability. Thank you for saving me. There is a town on this island."

Leo nodded, and Sauro got a positive answer. He looked up at the sky and said with emotion, "I would rather be washed up on an uninhabited island."

"This is O'Hara, Lieutenant General Sauro!"

Sauro: "What? How could this happen? How did I end up in O'Hara? Who are you? Why do you know me?"

The giant immediately made an attacking gesture and looked at the boy with a vigilant look.

"Don't be nervous big guy, my name is Leo, and I'm here to save O'Hara as well. I don't have time to explain more to you, so please join our O'Hara rescue plan."

"Leo, don't try to be brave. Hurry up and inform the scholars on the island to escape."

"It's useless. I've already tried it. And even if the scholars escape, what can they do? The World Government will just waste some time, and they will eventually be arrested."

After hearing what Leo said, Sauro remained silent. He admitted that the other party was right, but what could the two of them do alone, so he continued to persuade Leo.

"Leo, don't get involved in what's going on here. Leave here quickly. I will lead the government people away."

"You are the one who needs to stay calm. According to our plan, we can save all the scholars. Now that you have joined, I am more confident that the plan can succeed. Sauro, you only need to create chaos and tie down the navy when the Demon Slaughter Order begins."

"You have no idea what you're about to face. Don't joke with your life."

"I am also a captain. This plan is not just mine. My companions are also involved. Do you think I would gamble with their lives?"

Leo's words made Sauro silent for a long time, and finally he agreed: "Okay, I hope what you said is true, and I will cooperate with you then."

"You should take care of your injuries for the next two days. Don't be a drag on the day."

"Don't think I'm in such a mess now. I'm very strong, Trey, hehe."

In this way, Sauro joined the rescue plan. An inhumane disaster was about to befall, and the fate of O'Hara Island entered the final countdown.

And just four days later, a tired woman returned to O'Hara in a stolen warship.
