One Piece: Under the Throne

The Shandian people gathered in front of the golden bell for a long time and refused to leave. Although they said that they wanted to take back their homeland with their own hands, they were now unwilling to part with the holy object. Several elderly Shandian men even wanted to live on the top of the giant vine.

Leo wanted to help them transport the golden bell, but after carefully calculating the energy required for the transmission, he gave up decisively.

"Chief, what are your plans next?"

"Alas, we can only let it wait for us for a while."

Leo thought to himself: "Oh! You have a lot to wait for, it will take another eighteen years for the Straw Hat Pirates to come to Sky Island." Moreover, due to Leo's influence, there will most likely be no villain like Enelu in this world in the future. Without external enemies, Angel Island and Sandia will only continue the war, and there is no possibility of any alliance.

Forget it, future things will be solved in the future, what should we do now?

Leo rubbed his chin with one hand and looked at the half-broken golden pillar thoughtfully.

"Master Chief, is that pillar important to you?"

"A pillar? Oh, you mean it? It's just a decoration. Our ancestors made it to show the glory of Shandora. You can't just make a wooden frame to hang a golden bell."

Haha! Then you will be empty-handed.

"What do you think if I can let you go back and forth here freely? The half pillar is a very good material."

"Enter like we did today? Of course it would be better if we can do it at the lowest cost."

"Okay, leave it to me. It will take a few days to prepare. Just stop here today and I'll take you back."

After a long period of persuasion from the chief, the old men finally agreed to return to the tribe first. Several of them grabbed Leo's hands and asked him to promise, otherwise they would die in front of him.

This sudden feeling was both familiar and strange. It seemed that my elders had used this trick to force marriage in my previous life.

After patting his chest to make a promise, Leo sent the Shandian people back to the tribe. They came as a senior citizen tour group, and on the way back it was a large-scale variety show "Where's Grandpa?". Looking at the heartless Gloria, Leo decided to help her release her energy.

……

"This, and this, each of you take one and follow me."

After sending the Shandians off, the Poseidon arrived at Arpaiado for the third time. Leo directed his companions to carry the tools, including the cutting machines, furnaces, and machine tools in the laboratory.

Everyone had their own responsibilities. Will and Gloria were responsible for carrying the large items, Charles was responsible for carrying the small items, Mr. Alfu was responsible for vigilance, Gloria was responsible for charging the teleportation array, and Victoria continued to be the elevator manager. Everyone returned to the top of the huge vine with a bunch of tools.

"Huff, huff~ Captain, I can't take it anymore." Gloria panted and put the furnace aside.

"How can our talented girl say no? You're tired after doing such a small job. What will those kids who adore you think?"

"...You are seeking revenge for your personal gain. Leo has bad intentions."

"Oh! Who allowed a stranger to board the ship without the captain's permission?"

"Laki and the others are not strangers, they...they..."

"What are they? That Mantis guy still wants to chop me up."

"…I'm sorry, Leo. I was wrong."

"You know you're wrong, but why don't you go to work?"

Soon all the equipment was placed and all the wires were tied to Gloria. It was really convenient to have the Electric-Electric Fruit as a power source.

What Leo needs to do is actually very simple, a few transmission devices, generators, and aircraft. With these, he can ensure that the Shandian people can travel back and forth here.

The Mobile Life Rescue Team spent the next two days in Arpaiado. Leo and Will were the busiest among them because they were the only two who understood mechanics. As for Gloria, Leo did not make things difficult for her and asked her to be responsible for cutting the golden pillars, as a way to help her exercise her physical strength.

The rest of the people felt like they were camping in the wild. The ecology in Arpaio was very good, and food was everywhere. After Gloria finished her work, she was sent to Charles to help with hunting.

Two days later, ten transmission devices were completed. They were mainly made of gold-doped stone slabs, and there was a human-powered generator next to it. Every few times it was used, one person had to climb onto a bicycle wheel to generate electricity. This dreamlike technology made Leo's transformation very down-to-earth. The aircraft was powered by propellers. To ensure safety, Leo also added Sky Island's specialty, the Wind Spray. In this way, the first vertical take-off and landing flying vehicle in the world of One Piece was born.

After arranging all the equipment in a hidden place, everyone tested it repeatedly before taking Chief Shandia with them to experience the journey directly to the Golden Bell.

In order to reassure them, Leo deliberately chose to operate during the day, and the starting point of the transmission was set on a small uninhabited island near Arpaiado.

"You really did it. That's great. From now on, Shandia can light the lamp of Shandora every year."

"As long as you are satisfied, be careful every time you go back and forth. If one point is damaged, the whole route will be ruined."

"Don't worry, we will only use it when we worship our ancestors. We won't come here on other days. I'm sure that guy Gang Kerr will turn a blind eye if we don't come here often."

"I hope so. If it's just used for ringing bells, there's no problem." Leo didn't say the second half of the sentence. This route can also be used as a military route. Teleportation is an advanced way of transportation. If the Shandians are a little ruthless, they can use it for sneak attacks. Leo believes that the elusive Shandian guerrillas can use the teleportation device to beat the priest team and make them lose their way.

There was still a large part of the golden pillar left. Leo pointed at the remaining pillar and said, "Master Chief, can you give us the remaining pillar? This thing is very valuable in Qinghai and is also a very rare metal material."

The other party had helped so much and was wondering how to thank him. When he heard that Leo wanted the remaining pillars, Chief Shandia agreed without thinking: "Take it. You can take as much gold as you want. Do you have enough people to carry it? Otherwise, I will send more people."

The other party's tycoon-like remarks made Leo subconsciously ask: "Master Chief, do Shandians also like to wear a piece of cloth on their heads?"

"Cloth? What do you mean? We have our own traditional decorations that have been passed down for more than 1000 years."

"Don't mind it, I just said it out of inspiration. Shandia is indeed the Golden Land."

"Haha! There's a lot of gold in Arpaiado. 400 years ago, there were several unexploited gold mines here."

...Your ancestors have a mine? You are awesome, you are rich, you are amazing, okay! Leo curled his lips and thought about when he first came here, he lived in a wooden house and relied on hunting for food, and had to worry about pirates every day. It was really frustrating to compare yourself with others.

So Leo didn't hesitate to call on his friends to melt the remaining 2000 tons of pillars, and re-smelt them into gold bricks and transport them away.

With so many gold bars loaded onto the Poseidon, the entire ship's draft was deepened.

Afterwards they returned to the Hidden Cloud Village. The Shandia people held a grand banquet to thank Leo and his friends. That night everyone sang and danced around the fire. Leo asked Charles to represent him in cooking the old man's table. If nothing unexpected happened, the chef would be fed too much again tonight. In order to thank Leo and his friends, the five Weppa children took out their treasured treasures.

Weipa gave Will a percussion shell that he had treasured for a long time. He said he had intended to use it when he grew up.

Will was very happy. This was the first time he received a gift from a stranger, and the Repellent left a deep impression on him. When he fought with Heimdall on Bica Island, the opponent used this thing to beat him until he was covered with wounds.

Laci gave Gloria a pistol, which was also the weapon the girl prepared for herself. After receiving the gift, Gloria hugged Laci tightly and finally gave her a compound bow made by Leo in return.

"Where's that little bastard Mantis? Your friends have all given me gifts, why didn't you prepare anything for me?"

"Tsk, what kind of guest would actively ask for a gift? Since you said so, I'll give this to you." Mantis still remembered that when he first met Leo, this guy knocked him down in a few moves and snatched his glasses. So it was perfect to give him the glasses as a testimony of their friendship.

"Hey, you forgot to prepare a gift, didn't you? How can you just pick something from your body as a gift? Tsk tsk, and it's covered in sweat, it's original flavor, right?"

The mantis glared with his small eyes and said with a red face: "Asshole, give my glasses back to me. Who wants to witness friendship with you?" As he said that, he tried to snatch the glasses back from Leo with his claws and fangs.

Leo put one hand on the mantis's forehead, letting his two little arms wave around randomly. He snapped his fingers and another one of his heads exploded.

Mantis rolled a few meters away, holding his forehead and about to rant, when suddenly a book was thrown into his arms: "I'll give this to you. It's also what I used when I was a kid. If you dare to tear it, I'll beat you up. There's a way to become stronger on it. You guys have to work hard if you want to take back your hometown."

What Leo gave him was the Sphinx Hunter Training Manual. In addition to the war dance, there is also the method of practicing Armament Haki. This was what Susanna used when she taught Leo to fight when they were young. Unfortunately, he himself is a loser in physical skills, and keeping it with him has no other use except to commemorate his relatives. Gloria has also learned this manual. It is hard to say that the girl's love for fighting with a hammer is not influenced by it. Now Leo has given the manual to the children of Shandia, hoping to help them achieve their wishes.

The banquet lasted until the early morning. Those who were drunk just lay down on the spot. As a result, the tribe was in a mess in the morning. If anyone found it, they would definitely think that the Shandiya tribe had been massacred.

"Wake up, Gloria, get up, we have to leave."

"Yeah~ Leo, let me sleep a little longer, just ten minutes."

She immediately felt her mother's anger, and considering how much effort she had put in over the past few days, Leo finally gave in and gave up on waking her up, letting Will carry everyone on the return journey.

The chief also came to see him off, and behind him followed the person who made Leo feel most guilty.

"Brother Fran?"

"Asshole, why are you feeling so guilty? You must have forgotten my name."

"Brother Fran, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have left you alone in Beka."

Suddenly Fran jumped on board: "Come on, I'll give you another ride."

The Poseidon went out to sea, and gradually the outline of the Hidden Cloud Village could no longer be seen. Suddenly, a deep bell rang out, and the lights of Sandora were seeing them off. From afar, it seemed as if a farewell was heard.

……

"Leo, how are you going to get back?"

"Hey? Doesn't Sky Island have normal flight routes?"

"Is there such a thing? How come I don't know about it? Oh, by the way, I've never left Sky Island!" Fran seemed to suddenly realize something and pounded his palm with one fist.

"Why are you rushing to lead the way if you don't know me x7!"

"Forget it. There is no road in the world. Just open one at random. Gloria, show us your new skills."

"Okay, Captain!" Gloria stood on the bow, raised her arm and flicked up a gold coin. The coin rolled in the air for a few times and then fell vertically. Gloria flicked her thumb and in everyone's shocked eyes, she flicked the gold coin. Then a huge electric current pierced through the clouds.

"set off!"

Hearing Leo's order, Will, who was at the helm, drove the boat directly into the cave.

"Oh! This is amazing! It can actually penetrate the clouds. Is this place far from Qinghai?"

"It's not far, only about 7000 meters."

"7000 is still okay...ah? 7000 meters, I'm going to die." Fran was so scared that his eyes popped out of their sockets.

Leo was suddenly startled: "I remember now, why are you still on the boat?"

I… Before Fran could finish his words, Gloria picked him up, spun him around a few times, and threw him back into the white sea.

The Poseidon suddenly fell vertically, and the eyeballs of the companions on the ship all flew upwards.

To assure himself, Griot shouted, "I'll be back!"
