One Piece: Under the Throne

Tesoro and all the slaves who fell into the sea drove the sailboat along the instructions of the water grass arrows. No one knew where they were going. Carrying the slave mark of the Celestial Dragons, everyone felt that the future was bleak.

Tesoro stood at the bow and sighed secretly, looking at the empty treasure chest. The devil fruit inside was gone. When he fell from the cliff, he thought he was going to die, so he simply ate the devil fruit to give it a try. If it was the ability to fly, he would still have a chance to survive. However, he lost the devil fruit when he was thrown into the sea by a strange bubble bullet. It was this series of experiences that made Tesoro miss this devil fruit.

Forget it, it’s just an unknown devil fruit. I must get something better. Only by becoming a user with powerful abilities can I avoid being bullied, Tesoro secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

The image of the powerful person named Leo who appeared in Tesoro's mind first was: "I don't seem to know the adult's name yet. Can I see him again?" Tesoro wanted to see Leo again, hoping to get inspiration from him.

Just when Tezulo was confused, several slaves came over and said, "Thank you, brother, for leading us to escape from that hell. We want to get off the boat at the first island. Someone is waiting for us at home."

Tezulo looked at them coldly: "Okay, then I wish you all a safe return home."

Hearing what Tezulo said, several slaves felt a little embarrassed. They thought the boss would not let them go easily: "Please tell us your name, benefactor. We will remember you for the rest of our lives."

"Forget it. It's better for us to be strangers to each other. Names are not important." How could I tell you my names as a joke? We are all slaves. If we are found by the Celestial Dragons one day, you will definitely be the first one to betray me. Do you really think that I, Tesoro, am a fool.

Seeing their boss's indifferent attitude, several slaves said nothing more. They bowed deeply to Tesoro and left.

The sailboat was sailing alone on the sea. From sunrise to sunset, a day had passed since the escape from the holy land. Tonight, Tesoro was still sitting alone on the bow drinking. Suddenly, he heard the sound of Den Den Mushi in his ear while he was slightly drunk.

Bulu Bulu, Kaga: "Sir? Is that you, sir?"

After a short silence, the voice that Tesoro had been waiting for finally came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi: "Hey! Did you have a smooth voyage, Tesoro?"

"That's great. You really didn't abandon me. Sir, we have been following your instructions and we don't know our current location."

"Haha! The final destination of this ship can be the Sabaody Archipelago or the Water City. I wonder where you want to go?"

"Shabaodi? No, no, no, I don't want to go back to Shabaodi. It's the territory of the Celestial Dragons. It's too dangerous for us to go there with our identities. Sir, please send us to the Water City."

When Tesoro heard that he had to go back to Shampoo and Demon, he was so scared that his soul almost flew out of his body. That was where his nightmare began. There were only painful memories there. He really didn't want to go to Shampoo and Demon again.

Tesoro's reaction was completely within Leo's expectations. In fact, Leo had been following them underwater, and the ship did not move towards the island, but circled in the sea between Shampoo and Judicial Island.

This escape operation made Leo see Tesoro's ability clearly. It can be said that he is worthy of being the future Golden Emperor. He has the temperament of a leader, a little greed, and a spirit of not giving up no matter how desperate the process is. Of course, what Leo values ​​most is Tesoro's hatred for the Celestial Dragons, so he decides to help him.

"To the Water City, you must pray that you don't run into a storm and that you won't be discovered by the navy on the way. Don't forget that there's Judicial Island in between."

"That's better than going to Shampoo..." Tesoro answered in a low voice. He understood what Leo meant, but he didn't know how to respond.

"Tezoro, do you want to avenge Stella?"

Hearing Stella's name, Tezulo's eyes turned red and his voice became hoarse: "You have no right to mention Stella. If you are so strong, why didn't you take us away in Shampoo? Stella was tortured to death by the Celestial Dragons, and you are also responsible for her death. You seem to be helping me with good intentions, but in fact you are using me as a pawn to deal with the Celestial Dragons. You have no good intentions at all."

The momentary anger made Tesoro forget his disguise and he spoke out his truest thoughts directly. But after venting, he felt afraid again. If he made the adults angry, would they kill him?

"Sir, I lost my composure."

"Haha, hahahaha, Tezulo, you are right."

The laughter from the Den Den Mushi made Tesoro, who had calmed down, burst out again. He admitted it? Just like that? Tesoro couldn't believe his ears, so he continued to ask hoarsely, "Why? Should we, the insignificant ones, let you big shots control us?"

"You're the only one who can deal with the Celestial Dragons' pawn?" Leo's words completely ignited Tesoro, but before he could lose his temper, Leo continued.

"This is the fate of you and Stella. Our presence has given you hope of survival. You can't grasp it yourself and you dare to blame me? Of course, I admit that I had the idea of ​​liberating the slaves after seeing you being captured by Zhan Guo, but this is also fate. Even without you, I can take revenge on the Celestial Dragons from other places. You just happened to be the right person at the right time and place."

Tesoro bit his lip with his teeth and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Leo showed him the cruel truth in full, but he was helpless.

"Since I am dispensable, why are you still contacting me? Do you want me to continue to be a puppet in your hands?"

Tesoro was completely desperate. If Leo continued to ask him to do things, he didn't know if he dared to refuse him. However, Leo's words rekindled Tesoro's hope.

"Become my puppet? Don't be ridiculous. You are just an ordinary person. I just want to ask you one thing. Do you want to become a devil fruit user?"

"I...I think I'll do whatever you want."

"Go back to Shampoo Land. There is a powerful fruit waiting for you there. Only when you gain powerful strength will you be qualified to talk to me on an equal footing. When it comes to dealing with the Celestial Dragons, I don't need any puppets. What I need are comrades who can accomplish things."

Leo's words made Tesoro, who was in despair, feel warm inside. It turned out that he could stand beside the adults. That would be... great.

Leo's voice continued to come out from Den Den Mushi: "In fact, your fate has changed. Originally, you were just a small person. You didn't even have the power to take your lover back from the slave traders, let alone face the Celestial Dragons. But now you are a hero who liberated slaves. Look behind you. Those slaves were your partners. I let some of the troublemakers die when they fell off the cliff into the sea. Now, the ones left are those who recognize you."

Tezuolo felt a little aggrieved. Just now, someone wanted to get off the boat. "Sir, maybe they don't want to follow me. Someone has already asked to get off the boat."

Leo suddenly sighed: "Alas! You didn't spend the whole day hiding in a corner, thinking about random things? Didn't you even think of asking for everyone's opinions? Tezoro, I really misjudged you."

"Ah? Ask them what? I can't tell everyone that we're going to fight against the Celestial Dragons together."

"Why not? Look at the hoofprints of the Nine Sky Flying Dragon on your body. Where can you run with that mark of shame? Are you still dreaming of becoming an ordinary person? Don't be so naive. Once you are discovered, you will be immediately captured and taken back to continue to be slaves of the Celestial Dragons."

Tesoro knew that what Leo said was right, but the more true it was, the more terrifying it was. He suddenly found that he had no choice. Even though he knew that there was some incitement in Leo's words, he had to accept the arrangement.

"Do you want to disband the team and become the insignificant you again, living like a mouse from now on, or do you want to risk your life to grasp that tiny possibility and have a chance to avenge Stella in the future? It's your choice. Don't forget that you have nothing to begin with."

Tesoro's eyes were so bloodshot that they were about to bulge out of their sockets. He roared at the Den Den Mushi, "I want a devil fruit. I want to become stronger. I want no one to dare to bully me. I want... all the Celestial Dragons to die."

On the other end of the Den Den Mushi, Leo's mouth curled up slightly: "Great! Come to Shampoo Land and meet me."

After hanging up the phone, Leo leaned back in his chair and let out a long breath. This chess piece was in place. Then he looked at the devil fruit on the table that looked like a treasure chest. It was the one that Tesoro brought out from the Celestial Dragon's residence.

When they were still in the Red Earth Continent, Leo discovered Tesoro's little tricks, so he took away the devil fruit when he fell into the sea.

"A treasure chest fruit related to space? Tezoro, you really gave me a little surprise."

……

At the same time, in the power space of the Holy Land Mary Joya, five old men were sitting or standing at the top, and in front of them was kneeling on one knee a man wearing a mask and a white suit.

"The above is the entire process of the Holy Land riot. According to the interrogation of the escaped slaves, this rebellion was premeditated. The identity of the leader has not yet been determined."

"Has CP0's efficiency become so low now? Can a few slaves turn the holy land upside down? Do you still have the nerve to call yourself the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons? Go down, reorganize the team and don't let that title be disgraced again."

The top officer of CP0 withdrew from the power space. After the door was closed, Mercury Woqiuli Saint was the first to speak: "Humph! Long-term comfortable life has made their bodies decay. It seems that CP0 should be replaced from top to bottom."

Saturn Satan Saint looked at the report and the wreckage of the drone on the table: "The most important thing now is to find out the identity of the enemy. The one who can build this kind of flying weapon is definitely not an ordinary person. Both its power and mobility are far beyond the world level. If Vegapunk was not under our command, I would have suspected that it was that guy who did it."

Mars Mars Saint: "The most urgent task is to appease the 19 clans. This riot destroyed more than one-third of the buildings in the holy land, including many family residences. In addition, many younger generations of the families are clamoring for slaves."

Jupiter Peter Saint also expressed his concern about the public opinion generated by this incident: "Let the navy cooperate to capture the escaped slaves. This incident must not be spread. It's damned that such a big incident has been caused and they can't even find out who did it."

Finally, Venus Nasujuro slammed the sword in his hand to the ground: "In short, the dignity of the Celestial Dragons cannot be challenged. Let the CP and the Navy go out and increase the intensity of the crackdown on pirates, especially those big pirates in the New World. If the matter is exposed, let them take the blame. The CP will investigate secretly and must extinguish the flames of resistance."

As the five people were talking, a voice suddenly sounded from their hearts at the same time: "Find him, destroy him, don't let the destroyer live."
