One Piece: Under the Throne

"Okay, next we should go to the Babao Navy." Leo dispersed the crowd and rescued Victoria from the crowd of uncles.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Will picked up Victoria and put her on his shoulders. The soft-hearted little fat boy wanted to express his kindness in this way.

Will's sudden action frightened Victoria so much that she screamed. As her butt sat firmly on his shoulder, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Although Victoria's age is unknown, she looks like a 5-year-old girl who is just over 1 meter tall.

But Will was a leader among the mermen, with a height of nearly 3 meters when he stood up. The little girl sitting on his shoulders seemed to open up his horizons all of a sudden.

Victoria felt Will's kindness and giggled all the way.

……

There was more laughter all the way. Since Qinglong Temple was far away from the town, it was already dark when Leo and his party arrived at the Babao Navy Base.

But the situation in the base at this time made Leo a little dumbfounded. The base was usually heavily guarded, but the five of them walked from the gate to the training ground without encountering anyone.

Leo: "Fuck, the Babao Navy has disbanded?"

Gloria: "Ah? So Charles and Mr. Snail were also swept away?"

Ah Fu: "How is that possible? I guess there is a strong enemy coming. Everyone should be more vigilant."

Victoria: "Will, this building is so tall, how long do you think it will take to climb up?"

Will: "About half an hour, do you want to go up? Climbing stairs is very tiring."

Leo and the other two: "..."

Leo: "Ahem, everyone, be serious. I think what Ah Fu said is right. I will lead the way, Ah Fu will protect in the middle, Gloria, watch out for the rear, and keep moving forward in a single line."

The five of them formed a formation and entered the tower cautiously. The lobby on the first floor was still empty, and Leo took the lead and walked forward slowly.

As they were walking, they suddenly saw a man dressed in the uniform of the Eight Treasures Navy rushing out from the back hall. He looked to be only about 20 years old. The man walked very fast but his steps were weak. He didn't walk far before he bumped into the wall and couldn't move.

Seeing this, Leo's eyes widened instantly. "Afu, you are indeed an old hand. It seems that you are right. The Babao Navy was indeed attacked. It can be seen that the boy had many broken bones, so his body is as soft as noodles."

Ah Fu: "Captain, don't be distracted! Pay attention to defend against sneak attacks from the front."

The five people walked carefully along the passage where the young man came out. The passage was pitch black. They walked for a long time before they saw light coming from a room in front of them. From a distance, they could hear the sound of dinosaurs fighting wolves.

Leo motioned for everyone to get closer to the wall. He leaned sideways and poked his head out a little bit: "Brothers, get ready for battle. The enemy... I'm relying on you..."

Amid everyone's puzzled gazes, Leo stood carelessly in front of the door, looking inside with a stunned expression.

Ah Fu was the second one to walk out, and then his whole body seemed to be frozen, staring blankly into the house. It was not difficult to tell from his dropped jaw that he was very agitated at this moment.

The three remaining least courageous ones looked at each other, but since the boss had gone out, it was not convenient for them to hide behind, so they went out together.

This...the scene before their eyes made the timid trio at a loss for words.

After being frozen for a while, Leo was the first to come back to his senses, "You guys...you guys are having a lot of fun!"

There were many kang tables in the room, with about three to five people sitting in front of each table. The tables were piled with delicious food, and everyone was drinking from their wine bowls.

At the top table, Qingjiao was sitting cross-legged on the couch. On his left was the lame uncle who escaped from the Valley of Gods, and on his right was actually the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister was burping as he held up a bowl that was bigger than his body, reciting a poem with a sip of wine. When he saw the two people in front of him were shirtless, he seemed to want to take off his shell as well.

It turned out that the Eight Treasures Navy was holding a banquet, and one of the pirates started singing Binx's wine, and the atmosphere became lively.

Yo-ho-ho-ho yo-ho-ho, yo-ho-ho, bring Binx's wine to you...

Leo thought to himself that it was a good thing that no one saw their embarrassing appearance just now, otherwise how would they survive on the sea in the future? Doesn’t my Lord Poseidon have any face?

The five of them walked straight to the main table. Qingjiao saw Leo from a distance and said, "You're finally back, little bastard. I thought you were lying to me. Come here quickly."

"Ahehehe, that's impossible, Master Qingjiao. I, Leo, am a man of my word. What are you celebrating?"

"Burp! It's all your fault. Who told you to leave Charles here? That kid was dissatisfied with the kitchen on the first day, and then he showed his skills. Then you saw it. I was thinking that if you ran away, I would recruit Charles into the Eight Treasures Navy. With his skills, he would be buried in your shabby place."

Leo thought to himself: "...? Old man, do you know how to chat? You want to poach my people and slander my team? Am I too kind to you, so you mistakenly think that I respect the elderly and love the young?"

Leo rolled up his sleeves and was about to start scolding when Charles came out from the back hall pushing a food cart.

"Hey, Captain, you're back. You left me and the chattering snail here for five days without even a phone call. I thought you didn't want us anymore."

"Fuck, you've gotten mad after not seeing you for a few days, haven't you? We're going to do some serious work. Look, we have new companions joining us." After saying that, Leo pointed at Victoria who was standing behind him.

Charles looked in the direction and felt his eyes flash. Is this an angel?

"Leo, have you been seeing God these days?"

Before Leo could get mad, Charles yelled to the kitchen: "Where are all the people? Hurry up and add another table."

Several pirate brothers quickly cleared out a clean area, set up the dining table and put mats on the table. Charles also straightened his chef's uniform and bowed slightly to Victoria, making a gesture of invitation.

At the same time, the Prime Minister also finished the bowl of wine in one breath, "Hiccup! Brother Qingjiao, what are your men singing? It's really bad. You should do this."

"The vast ocean laughs, the waves surge across both banks, I float and sink with the waves, only remembering today..."

The prime minister was halfway through singing when he saw everyone looking at him with their bowls in hand, and he said something with some dissatisfaction.

"When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty... burp~ Big green pepper, lame old man, drink some wine, don't stop... burp~"

Leo and his friends just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into. Today, the Prime Minister was having the most fun, and he completely let himself go.

Qing Jiao stared at the Prime Minister in amazement, and suddenly slapped his thigh and shouted loudly: "Good! The poem is good, and the song just now is even better. Please teach me, sir, this will be the military song of the Eight Treasures Navy from now on."

Leo was sweating profusely, and he used Cang Hai Yi Xiao as a military song. He didn't know what to do when Qing Jiao's subordinates heard that they had seen through the world and wanted to retire. Would this old guy come after him and fight him to death?

Soon the sumptuous food was placed on the table. Leo and the other four had been busy for a long time and were already hungry, so they let go and ate to their heart's content, and soon became immersed in the joyful atmosphere.

Today Victoria saw hospitable villagers, a bustling town, a quiet and solemn ancient temple, and finally participated in a joyful pirate banquet. His little golden hair kept shaking. It turned out that this was the taste of freedom.
