One Piece: Under the Throne

"Brat, I wonder how long you can last."

The long whip made a sound of breaking through the air when Albert swung it, and after a few lashes, several bloody marks were left on Leo's cheeks and body.

Albert still felt unsatisfied, so he threw out another steel needle. The sharp needle pierced into Leo's body, turning him into a bloody man in an instant.

Victoria watched Leo get hurt while trying to protect her, and she was heartbroken. Finally, she mustered up the courage to yell, "Leo, leave me alone. If you keep going like this, you'll be beaten to death."

Victoria's tears made Albert more satisfied: "Yes, that's it, cry and scream and then witness him die in front of you, bitch, you guys are smart, don't you? Just engrave this experience deeply in your memory, and always remember not to resist me."

Snap! Another whip hit Leo's thigh. The burning pain made Leo tremble slightly, but even so, Leo remained motionless and stood in front of the girl like a rock.

Victoria knelt weakly, tears streaming down her cheeks: "My Lord, please let Leo go. I will never dare to disobey you again."

Hearing this, Albert temporarily stopped his attack: "Don't be naive, bitch. This can't be a bargaining chip at all. You are mine and you should obey me."

"Then what do you want me to do in exchange for letting Leo go? How about my life in exchange?"

Albert suddenly put on a kind expression: "How can that be possible? You are my most precious treasure. I love you so much, how can I bear to hurt you?"

Before he finished speaking, Albert's eyes turned grim again: "If you die, where can I find such a useful tool? You can create huge wealth and extend my son's life. As long as you can give birth to an heir successfully, you can serve the Blois family for generations."

Suddenly Albert changed his tone: "The only pity is that your clan can only help people restore their youth once, otherwise I would not give you to my son." The young man who controlled the plants clicked his tongue and looked at his father with increasingly cold eyes.

Victoria's eyes dimmed with every word Albert spoke. The cruel truth was before her eyes, and she was deeply surrounded by fear and powerlessness.

However, just as Victoria was about to fall into darkness, a beam of light suddenly shone in. Leo burst into laughter, and even though he was covered in blood, his eyes were clearer than ever: "What nonsense are you talking about? I haven't given up yet! Victoria, watch carefully and see how I defeat this perverted lord. I promised to take you to see the vastness of the sea and I will definitely do it."

"You still dare to brag after all this? I will cut off your hands and feet and plant you in the soil. She can cultivate a panacea, maybe she can help you grow your hands and feet back."

Albert raised his hand and dozens of scalpels shot at Leo. The thin blades aimed at Leo's limbs. Albert seemed to be tired of playing and wanted to finish Leo off with one blow. At the critical moment, a weak figure passed Leo.

"I... won't... let... you... hurt... Leo." Even though her face was covered with tears, Victoria still stood firmly in front of Leo.

It was too late for Albert to stop. His ability allowed him to create various instruments of execution, but he could not control them remotely. Seeing that his treasure was about to die under his attack, Albert's face was deformed with anger.

Leo did not expect Victoria to jump out at this moment to block the knife for him. In a hurry, Leo only felt that the surroundings seemed to slow down, Victoria's dripping tears stopped in mid-air, Albert's distorted expression was frozen, and even the scalpel as fast as a bullet was as slow as a snail in Leo's eyes.

At this critical moment, Leo's Observation Haki, which was sometimes effective and sometimes not, actually underwent a transformation. He could clearly see the flight trajectory of each scalpel, and it seemed that he could shoot them all down with just a few moves.

But Kolio didn't do that. He simply put his hands around Victoria's slender waist, and with a flick of his power, the two of them were in mid-air.

To Leo, it seemed like more than ten seconds had passed, but in the eyes of others, the two of them seemed to have teleported.

"How could this happen? What kind of ability do you have?" At first Albert did not notice the two men, until he heard murderous intent above his head, he looked up and found the target.

At this time, Lord Albert looked at Leo with a bit more fear in his eyes, but he didn't know that even the instigator was confused. Among the four people present, only Victoria didn't pay attention to Leo's sudden change. The little girl kept taking out healing mushrooms from her pocket and applying them on Leo's wounds while crying.

"Wow, Leo, you're bleeding so much. You're so stupid. Why are you so nice to me..."

Leo let Victoria do what she wanted, but his eyes accurately found the flower pots where the panacea was grown. There were dark red bloodstains on the edges of many of the flower pots, which were the marks left by Victoria's long-term digging with his hands.

Just as Victoria used the healing mushrooms to heal Leo, another roar came from below. Albert looked at Victoria angrily: "Bitch, put down the panacea, it is my property, how dare you use it to heal my enemy."

Victoria turned a deaf ear to Albert's words, but Leo said to himself: "I understand, so this is the cage that trapped you."

Two dark blue gun barrels appeared on the shoulders of the Seastone mecha. After a short period of charging, two red lasers blew the flower pots on the ground into pieces.

Victoria suddenly stopped and stared at Leo blankly. The corners of the girl's mouth twitched as if she had something to say to him.

But he was interrupted by Albert's angry roar: "Damn it, you bastard actually destroyed the elixir, that's my treasure." Albert's eyes were bloodshot and he seemed to have lost his mind. He threw countless steel needles at Leo in the air.

However, Leo did not even look at Albert. At this moment, he looked at Victoria with gentle eyes: "I know how to save you, hold me tight." As soon as he finished speaking, blue flames spurted out from the soles of the seastone armor, carrying Leo and Victoria straight to a higher place.

Leo wanted to help Victoria break out of the cage, and before leaving, he didn't forget to reward Albert with a laser. Albert was also stunned by the sudden attack, but the danger he sensed in an instant made him dodge. The laser hit Albert and hit the floor, and the lord screamed and fell into the hole.

"Tsk! Useless father, you still have to rely on me to clean up your mess at the critical moment." A green vine suddenly wrapped around Albert and brought him back from the hole.

"Asshole Huang Mu, what were you doing earlier? If you had taken action earlier, that guy wouldn't have escaped to the sky."

The young man named Huangmu sighed. You were obviously having a lot of fun, but now you have the nerve to blame me. Oh, how long do I have to endure this bastard father? I really want to kill him.
