One Piece: Under the Throne

The Poseidon carried everyone who was longing for Sky Island to Gaya Island.

On the deck, Will was playing in the water with two girls, Charles was checking the supply, and Leo and Alfu were chatting in the cockpit while steering. The boring sailing life suddenly became full of vitality after having a goal.

"Leo, how do you know so much about the legend of the Golden Country? Where did you get your information?"

"Don't forget that I'm from the New World. It's not like I haven't seen Sky Islanders before. As for the location of the Golden Country, I guessed it."

Just as everyone was moving forward leisurely, the sky suddenly darkened. At that moment, it seemed as if the alternation of day and night had been completed. The darkness enveloped the Poseidon, and only the emergency lights rose and fell with the hull.

Victoria shouted excitedly, "I know what's going on. Maybe the heavenly dog ​​ate the sun."

Leo was very upset. "This isn't a solar eclipse. Maybe we are encountering a cumulus cloud. This is also a celestial phenomenon unique to the Grand Line."

Recalling the original work, whenever the Jidi Cloud appeared, it was possible that the shadows of the Sky Islanders would be projected onto the clouds. Thinking of this, Leo suddenly grinned and said, "There is a legend that giants are driving the Jidi Clouds. Maybe we can see giants as tall as the sky in a while."

Huh? So scary! x6

At this moment, the sky seemed to become lower, the atmosphere on the ship suddenly became tense, and suddenly two huge figures appeared in the sky.

Gloria was the first to scream: "Ah! Look! Is that the giant Leo was talking about?"

Will: "Leo, run! We're going to be crushed."

Victoria: "Are those the messengers of God? They have wings behind them."

"Hahaha, don't worry, it's okay. The giants and the like are all lies. In fact, that is... eh?"

After using the giant's lie to trick people and seeing that everyone believed it, Leo wanted to reveal the answer. But before he could finish his words, he was attracted by the two huge figures, who seemed to have changed.

I saw the taller of the two figures push the other one down, then take something off his body, then pounce on top of the other shadow, and then start to rise and fall rhythmically.

Ah, this... As an experienced person, Leo understood the other party's behavior in seconds and was so shocked that he was speechless.

Then Alfu and Charles also figured out something and looked at their captain with strange expressions. Only the playful trio recovered from their fright and were now observing each other carefully.

Will: "What are the giants doing? Are they fighting?"

Gloria: "Of course. Didn't you see one person riding on another person to suppress him, while the other one was trying to push him off from below? Their movements were a bit like ground techniques in judo."

Victoria: "Oh~ So that's how it is. Sister Gloria is really professional."

Leo, Alfu, and Charles: ...

Forget it, just treat it as a beautiful misunderstanding. The three main people really didn't know how to explain the matter clearly. The Poseidon Soldier gradually sailed away from the Jidi Cloud area, and the surrounding light gradually became brighter. The fierce figure of the sky man gradually faded, as if doing that forever.

"Ahem, sorry for playing a joke on everyone. Actually, that wasn't a giant. The huge figure was formed when the sun was blocked by the people on Sky Island and the shadow was projected onto the Jidi Cloud. Because of the angle, it looked extremely huge to us."

The playful trio: "Oh~ So that's how it is, Captain you are so naughty."

Alfu, Charles: "Oh~ They do that during the day, the people of Sky Island are really naughty."

Leo felt the veins on his forehead exposed, but then he burst into laughter. This incident reminded him of his school days in his previous life. He remembered that he was sitting in a row by the window, sleeping soundly on the table when he was suddenly awakened by a classmate in the back seat. He thought the teacher was dissatisfied with them sleeping in class, but the classmate pointed outside the window and saw the silhouette of a couple exercising, one up and one down, projected on the curtains of a house in the residential building opposite. Later, the boys in the row by the window were looking out carefully, and the teacher also joined in curiously. About 2 minutes later, the boys who were watching the animated picture were punished by the teacher for not paying attention in class and were sent to stand in the corridor.

Seeing their captain suddenly laugh, the playful trio also laughed along. Although they didn't know why the captain was so happy, Charles and Alfu looked at each other with a puzzled look: "Is that so interesting?"

The next morning, Gaya Island came into sight. Leo first drove the Poseidon around the island, but did not find the ostentatious wooden castle. It seemed that Wenbran Kulik had not arrived in Gaya yet.

The Poseidon sailed into the port. Many pirate ships were docked here. There was a noose hanging under the nameplate at the entrance of the town. This was also an unwritten rule on the Grand Line, indicating that the island was controlled by criminals.

"Victoria, Gloria, and Mr. Alfred, you three will watch the ship. Charles will go to replenish the supplies. Will and the Prime Minister will follow me to the town to gather intelligence."

Seeing the town in such a dilapidated state, the girls lost interest. But Leo was still a little worried about leaving only the two of them behind, so he had to ask the most stable butler to accompany them.

"Charles, be careful when you act alone."

"Captain, you are so long-winded. They are just some small pirates. It's not like we haven't dealt with them before." Charles waved his hand and was the first to walk into the Magic Valley Town.

"Tsk, you arrogant guy. Will, let's go." Putting the Prime Minister on his shoulders, the three of them walked towards the tavern in the town together.

……

When they arrived at the door of the tavern, before Leo and the others could enter, a man dressed in pirate costumes flew out of the door. His face was bruised and his clothes were stained with blood, and it was obvious that he had just been beaten. Leo curled his lips in disdain, pushed open the remaining door and walked in.

The tavern was full of pirates, some were drinking and bragging, some were gambling, and there was even a table where they were arm wrestling. Maybe the guy just now flew out from here. The tavern was filled with a strange smell mixed with smoke, and Leo was choked and coughed as soon as he came in.

"Burp! Where did this little brat come from? You're dressed pretty well. Just leave all the money you have and get out of here."

Leo was wearing a black suit and Will was wearing training clothes. Their attire did not fit in with the environment. Coupled with Leo's immature face, he was treated as a fat sheep and blackmailed as soon as he entered the door.

The pirates took the lead, and the other tables looked at them with ill intentions, and started to urge them to do the same.

Leo raised his hand to clean up the garbage, but was stopped by Will: "How can you let the captain do such a small thing? Leave it to me."
