One Piece: Under the Throne

"What? It's all because of the poor quality of the mechanism made by that guy named Asier. Charles is giving me a tail!"

"Here you go, our Miss Super Strength."

"No way! Ugh, roo roo ci!" Gloria's mouth was blocked by a roasted dragon tail before she could finish her words.

On the platform below, everyone was eating barbecue around the campfire. The obstacles in the second level were successfully turned into food. Leo also jokingly said that this was the supply point of the dungeon, and they could eat barbecue to recover after the battle.

Charles had a perverted obsession with unknown ingredients. He laughed the whole time while handling the ingredients, and kept talking to himself, "Look how firm these thighs are, huh! The belly is also very attractive, ah! These beautiful big lips..." It was simply unbearable to listen to. Anyway, the few people who were eavesdropping all looked at Charles with trash eyes.

Of course, no matter how abnormal this guy's behavior is, it does not affect everyone's shouting that the food is delicious when they are eating. Among them, Gloria and Olga have the ugliest eating habits. Their daughter has always eaten like this, and Leo and Alfu have not been able to help Gloria correct it for so many years, but they didn't expect Olga to do the same.

"Olga, eat slowly, there's still a lot here and no one is going to snatch it from you."

"I haven't eaten meat for a long time. And the strong woman eats so fast that if she doesn't eat quickly, even the bones will be gone."

Alas! Leo helplessly watched the two girls eating in the competition, and then handed the barbecue in his hand to Olga.

Asier ate barbecue while glancing at his daughter. He felt relieved to see that everyone was taking good care of Olga, but he suddenly thought of the scenes 200 years ago, and his eyes became firm again.

So he suggested: "Leo, the suspension bridge in the second level is no longer working. Should we just turn back?"

Leo glanced at Asie with a half-smile and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Asiba. This is not a problem for us. I will take you there in a while."

After saying that, he took a box from Will and stood up and walked to the edge of the cliff. He saw the Prime Minister jump on top of Leo's head, and then the two of them shouted in unison: "Transform!"

The box behind him opened, and the BGM of [Pegasus Fantasy] sounded. Leg armor, arm armor, and chest armor flew out of the box one by one and were put on Leo. Finally, the helmet flipped out from behind his head and was put on his head, and then his eyes flashed blue light.

At this moment, Asier was stunned and couldn't help but exclaim: "The robot... is... so handsome..."

But before he could finish his words, Leo in the mecha turned around and pressed the box behind him, and the background music stopped. Uh~ the last one was a bit lame!

Will and Gloria's eyes lit up as well: "No matter how many times we've seen it, we still think it's handsome. We want Leo too."

Alfu, Charles, Victoria, Gloria: ... (with cold faces)

"Who wants to go first?"

Me! Athie, Olga, Will, and Gloria all raised their hands.

"Come on, ladies first." Then he let Olga and Gloria jump onto his back, and the thrusters on the bottom of his feet spewed flames. The mecha flew into the air and slowly carried them over the cliff.

Olga looked down excitedly: "Leo, did you invent this? I didn't realize you are so talented."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you're almost fainting from admiration for me."

"Cool, cool, cool. I'll steal the mecha while this stupid guy isn't paying attention and get rid of these guys."

"Hey! We all heard x2."

"Oh!"

After transporting everyone to the other side of the cliff several times, Leo walked to the remains of the sacred eagle statue and checked it carefully. Then he fiddled with it on the ground for a few times and the suspension bridge started.

"The retreat route is ready. I have a feeling the treasure is just ahead. Let's keep moving forward!"

"Oh! x8"

Leo was still walking in the front, and the heavy footsteps of the mecha echoed in the corridor. Suddenly, Ah Fu asked curiously, "Leo, do you know what the treasure here is? Is it the shining gold?"

"Oh? Didn't I tell you the purpose of the treasure hunt? The name of the shining gold is not wrong. The correct name of the treasure is pure gold. It is said that it is rich enough to buy the world."

Gloria said a little disappointedly: "Gold again, Leo, you really like gold. We already have a ship full of it."

"Idiot! Listen carefully. It's pure gold, not gold. The value of pure gold cannot be measured by money."

Victoria asked in confusion, "But you just said that it was wealth that could buy the world."

"Well, that's just a metaphor. And I didn't say that. 200 years ago, pure gold appeared in Alkami. At that time, many people wanted to get it, and it caused a huge riot."

Hearing this, Dr. Asier lowered his head silently, while Olga, who was following behind Leo, laughed coolly: "You understand it very well, so you must also know the effect of pure gold."

Hearing Olga say this, everyone cast curious glances at Leo again: "Of course, the reason why pure gold is valuable is because it can make people immortal."

"Ah? x7." Everyone was surprised when they heard Leo's explanation, and then they heard Leo continue: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. Pure gold is a metal that can emit light even in the dark. Under the light of pure gold, the growth rate of living things will become extremely slow, so people mistakenly believe that they are immortal."

Ah Fu frowned. "Slow growth? That's a treasure that can extend lifespan, right? I kind of understand why Alkami disappeared."

Olga said with some disdain: "Don't make blind guesses, Alkami's disappearance has nothing to do with the power of pure gold."

Leo glanced at Asier secretly, and then retorted to Olga: "Mr. Afu is right, Olga, no matter what the truth is about Alkami's disappearance, as long as there is pure gold, the island will sooner or later be swallowed by the disaster called greed."

Asier lowered his head even lower. He didn't want anyone to see his expression at this moment. However, how could he hold back his tears with his head lowered? Asier had no choice but to close his eyes and follow the team like a walking corpse.

Finally, everyone walked out of the corridor and came to a room. Everyone's attention was first attracted by a crocodile statue with a wide mouth, and then they found a key on a stone platform in front of the statue.

Here is also a hint: "The one who gets the shining gold is a trustworthy person. Open the door with your brave companions, and the treasure is just ahead."

Leo walked to the stone platform and picked up the key: "It seems that this key can be used to open the lock. There are one, two... a total of eighteen keyholes in the crocodile's throat. It seems that if you open the wrong one, it will trigger the mechanism. Who is interested in challenging this level?"

Victoria raised her hand first: "Let me do it. Everyone cracked the first two levels, so let me try this time."

Leo handed her the key and said, "Okay, Princess, please. Will, you will be the knight."

Just as the two were about to step into the crocodile's mouth, Asie suddenly stopped them: "No! Don't go in, Leo, please give up the pure gold."

After saying this, Assie secretly thought that something was wrong and he couldn't control his emotions for a moment. He was really afraid that these people would hurt Olga in anger. 200 years ago, Dr. Assie had seen too many people who were crazy about getting pure gold. No matter how much they trusted each other, or how close they were by blood, they would turn against each other the moment they saw pure gold. Pure gold must never be used to test human nature. This was the experience he summed up after experiencing pain.

From the joyful atmosphere along the way, it can be seen that this is a group of companions with a very good relationship, but he dare not gamble, because once he loses the bet, this wonderful feeling will disappear.

"Pure gold is the devil's thing, Leo and everyone please trust me and give it up."
