One Piece: Under the Throne

"Captain, we have sighted the island."

Leo picked up the nautical chart and confirmed it again. Very good. The navigation was very accurate this time. It seemed that his navigation skills had improved again. It was definitely not necessary to sail with everyone to avoid the curse of getting lost when going out to sea.

"Boys, prepare to land."

The Poseidon was docked in the shallows, and everyone walked barefoot on the soft sand. Angel Island was just as they remembered, with sunshine, coast and a cozy town. I have to say that the first impression here is great. It would be even better if they met a girl playing the harp with little wings on her back.

Suddenly Victoria shouted excitedly: "Wow, look, it's an angel!"

Leo looked over at the first moment. It really was an angel, so cute!

DuangDuang, Gloria hit the two men's heads hard, and big bumps appeared on their heads that were visible to the naked eye.

"Hey, hey! What are you crazy about!"

“Yes, yes, Sister Gloria, it hurts!”

The culprit looked at them with dissatisfaction, turned around and pointed at his wings: "I have wings too, but you don't call me an angel. Instead, you are interested in a little girl. So it's still an age issue, right?"

You heard it right. The caring elder sister with a gentle expression when you first got on the boat is now calling herself "old lady".

Leo thought that maybe it was because he was accidentally interrupted by Gloria when he was developing weapons last time, and he blurted out "You are a nagging old woman" which irritated her.

Similarly, Victoria rubbed her head and recalled that Gloria asked her why she liked to call her big sister. She answered honestly at that time that it was because she was old that Gloria became like this.

Victoria felt that she had hurt Gloria and wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know how to start. After hesitating for a long time, she looked at Leo for help.

"Hey, hey, there's no point in you just looking at me. I can't even protect myself right now."

Victoria's eyes were wide open, as if she would burst into tears the next second if Leo dared to reject her.

Leo was a little mad. He scratched his head and messed up his hair. He could only give in to her request: "Gloria, let me give you a new song as an apology for our previous slip of the tongue."

Gloria snorted with a proud face.

"The song is called [The Most Beautiful], this song must be very suitable for you."

“I don’t really want to, just sing a few lines for me.” Although Gloria still had a proud look on her face, the glances she gave away from time to time had already betrayed her.

"Ahem, the most beautiful thing is the sunset..."

Bang! Leo's head was completely buried in the cloud, and the calves left above were shaking.

Victoria looked at Leo with gratitude: "I am so touched. Leo actually sacrificed himself for me."

Others: ...seeking death!

Gloria angrily snatched the harp from the little angel and started playing it by herself. Before the little angel had time to protest, he was immersed in the beautiful melody played by Gloria.

Gloria closed her eyes and plucked the strings with her fingertips. The notes seemed to jump in the air. Gloria, who picked up the harp again, seemed to have turned into the child of music again.

When the song ended, the sounds of the sea and the wind re-entered everyone's ears, and everyone was relieved from the melody just now. Clap, clap, clap! Leo, who had a big bump on his head, was the first to lead the applause: "Perfect, I can't think of any other adjective except perfect."

Gloria tilted her head and slid the harp into the little angel's arms as if casually: "Remember, it's useless to practice randomly like you do."

The little angel bowed politely to Gloria, then held her chin with both hands and looked at her with admiration: "Big sister, you play really well, can you teach me?"

"Just call me sister, why do you have to add the word [big]? Are you laughing at me, little girl?"

"Wow, wow, big sister, I'm so scared."

"Tsk, kids are the most annoying. Come on, stop crying and I'll teach you."

"Really! Thank you, big sister."

“Don’t add any more [big] characters.”

Leo looked at Gloria, who was teaching the little angel seriously despite looking disgusted, and said with relief: "She is so gentle. Maybe this is Gloria's true face."

Gloria and Victoria nodded together: "Yes, Sister Gloria is really reliable."

Seeing that Gloria was attending class seriously, everyone decided not to disturb her and just rested on the beach.

An hour later, the little angel invited everyone to her home to thank Gloria.

The little angel's name is Nini. Her father is a fisherman. There are only the two of them at home. Nini's father, Mr. Rick, warmly entertained Leo and his party.

"Big sister, you are the musician of Beka. No wonder you are so good. But where is Beka?"

Mr. Rick smiled sheepishly: "Nini has never left Angel Island. So you are all from Beka, which is a faraway place."

"Uncle, we are sailors from Qinghai. Gloria is our new companion. We came here from Bika together."

"Oh! No wonder, it's amazing that you became a navigator at such a young age. Although it's a little late, welcome to Angel Island."

Everyone was drinking afternoon tea and chatting casually at Nini's house. Uncle Rick gave everyone a detailed introduction to the customs and culture of Angel Island. There are also gods ruling here, and the current god is Gangkel.

Ah Fu was a little concerned about the title of God: "Mr. Rick, why do the rulers of Sky Island like to call themselves God? They are obviously ordinary people like everyone else."

Rick waved his hands nervously: "Don't blaspheme God, this is a title that has been passed down since ancient times."

Leo said nonchalantly, "A long time ago, the Moon People arrived at Sky Island. With their advanced technology and powerful strength, they easily conquered the natives of Sky Island. Because they believed they were superior to others, they called themselves gods."

Everyone turned their eyes to Leo, "Captain, how did you know that?"

"It's simple. Odin's treasure contains documents left by the moon people. The hometown of these aliens is called Bika."

Everyone looked at each other in surprise; this news was truly shocking.

Leo continued, "What is certain is that the technology of the moon people is really advanced. There are still many of their descendants on Bikakong Island." Of course, Leo has other guesses, but there are too few clues at present to elaborate.

"Huh! Another bunch of guys who rely on force to bully the weak. God is such a disgusting title." Charles was obviously a little angry when he thought of everything the Celestial Dragons had done to the Star Island. They also claimed to be the high and mighty gods, but in essence they all oppressed others to show off their own strength and status.

Except for Gloria, all of Leo's group came from Qinghai. Everyone understood Charles' anger. Seeing that Gloria was still a little confused, Leo gave her a brief account of what the Celestial Dragons had done in Qinghai.

"The Celestial Dragons are really a bunch of inhumane guys. Fortunately, the God of Sky Island didn't go too far."

Leo suddenly said to everyone with a serious face, "It's essentially the same. The rules are made by the superiors. No matter how unreasonable these rules are, the inferiors must obey them unconditionally. Power without constraints will inevitably turn into a disaster."

Everyone didn't know what to say for a moment. The living room suddenly became quiet. The sound of a cup falling to the ground broke the silence. Mr. Rick looked at everyone with horror: "You...how can you say such a thing? Sorry, please leave my home. You are not welcome here."

Leo didn't expect that his words would make Uncle Rick so nervous. Seeing that the other party had ordered them to leave, he had no choice but to take everyone away.
