One Piece: Under the Throne

Judge stared at the memory metal intently. The material that could automatically heal made his mind full of creative ideas.

After being stunned for a while, Judge grabbed Leo's collar with both hands and shook him madly: "Where did you find this material, kid? Tell me quickly."

Leo smiled evilly, "Humph! I'm the only one in the world who can make memory metal. If you want it, exchange it for the battle suit design."

Judge stared at Leo fiercely: "Why do you provide the finished product while I have to provide the design drawings? This is not fair!"

Leo spread his hands and said, "I think it's fair. Asking for your battle suit design just saves me the time of developing it myself. You can see that I have more powerful mechas, but they are difficult to operate and cannot be popularized to the crew. But memory metal is different. Only I can provide it in the world. You are the first person to know it. With memory metal, I think you can make more powerful weapons. This deal is beneficial to both of us."

Jiazhi gritted his teeth and stared at Leo. If he hadn't been unable to beat him, he would have snatched it away long ago. After hesitating for a while, Jiazhi pushed Leo away and said, "First provide me with 1 ton, and then the annual quantity will be notified by me."

Leo snapped his fingers, and the Rubik's Cube automatically jumped back into his hand. "Sure, since we're old acquaintances, I'll give you 10 billion Baileys per ton of memory metal."

"You still want money? And the price is almost as high as gold." Two streams of air spurted out of Jiazhi's nostrils, he could hardly believe his ears.

"Nonsense, you think synthetic raw materials are cheap. You think they're expensive, but I do too. These are all produced by high-end laboratories. If I'm not an old acquaintance, I won't sell them to him."

"No, this price is too high. You keep talking about old acquaintances. Is this how you treat acquaintances?"

Leo shook his head helplessly. "Okay, okay, the first batch of goods will be counted as my exchange for the design drawings. I'll give you one ton of memory metal for free, but you'll have to pay for it later. I'll give you a discount. If you buy more than 1 tons at a time, you'll get a 2% discount."

Seeing that Judge was still trying to argue, Leo spoke up first, "This is my final offer. If you can't afford it, forget it. Such a powerful kingdom is so poor. Judge, you are doomed."

"You...Okay, it's settled. How are you going to deliver the goods in the future?"

Hearing Judge's agreement, Leo was overjoyed, but his face still had an expression of "You got a bargain." "Here is my business card. Contact me directly if you want to place an order. It takes two months to synthesize one ton of memory metal. We can't accept orders that are too urgent. Contact me in advance if you want the goods."

With a cold snort, Jiazhi snatched the business card, glanced at it and threw it on the table: "Wait."

After a while, Judge took a thick stack of drawings and threw it into Leo's hand, then sent him away with a bad tone.

When Leo returned to the hall again, he saw Gloria training Judge's three sons. Poor Red, Blue and Green were all beaten up, while their sister Reiju was standing aside watching the fight, held by Victoria's hand.

Leo smiled at the face of Judge who was standing beside him, "Mr. Judge, you are really lazy in naming your children, but 0124, where is the third child?"

"That jerk is dead. The deal is done. Please leave my country as soon as possible."

Leo shrugged and asked everyone to leave Germa 66. Looking at the war snails that seemed to be running for their lives, Leo turned around and laughed: "Brothers just signed a large order with a sucker, so we will spend the New Year in luxury."

Roar! A loud cheer came from the Poseidon.

……

A few days later, the Poseidon suddenly received a distress signal. There was a burst of gunfire from the other end of the Den Den Mushi, followed by a weak female voice asking for help. The signal was cut off before the other party finished half of the sentence. Leo only heard that the location was near Mignon Island.

"The boys are here to live, and set sail for the waters of Mignon Island."

The Poseidon cut through the sea at full speed and arrived at the waters of Mignon Island in just one day.

"Release the drones to search the nearby waters. We don't know if those people can hold on." The buzzing sound of propellers rose and fell on the deck. 20 drones disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye. The images were constantly transmitted back to the cabin. The 20 drones were searching in a circle with a diameter of 50 nautical miles.

"Found it, Leo, come and take a look, it looks like a navy team."

The images sent back by the drone quickly found the person calling for help. A group of naval soldiers were seen waiting near the half-sunken warship waiting for rescue. It seemed that the warship would not be able to hold on for much longer.

"It's the navy again. We rescued quite a few navy this year. Let's speed up, guys." Leo felt that he had dealt with the white way much more times this year than in previous years. Could it be that the pirates of this period were very powerful?

Soon the Poseidon approached the wreckage of the warship. Teams of naval soldiers boarded the lifeboat. The lifeboat was connected to the Poseidon by a rope and was towed forward. Leo would not let strangers board the Poseidon.

"Please board the ship in an orderly manner. Food will be delivered later." Gloria commanded the navy with a smile on her face. Leo looked strange beside her. Why are there only female soldiers? Could it be...

His thoughts were soon interrupted by a female general wearing a general's cloak, as she boarded the Poseidon using moon steps.

"Thank you for your support. I am a subordinate of Vice Admiral Tsuru at the Navy Headquarters..." The female navy officer was enveloped by murderous aura before she could finish her words. The tense atmosphere choked back the rest of her words.

"You...you you what are you doing? I'm a navy man."

Leo came up to the female navy with an unhappy look on his face and said, "How dare you board my ship without permission? Who gave you the courage?"

Under the strong pressure of Leo, the female marine's clothes were soaked with sweat. "I'm very sorry, please forgive my intrusion. I just wanted to borrow the Den Den Mushi."

"Are you officers under Ms. Crane?"

Hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's name, the female navy stood up straight instantly and raised her head proudly: "Yes, we belong to the third ship of Vice Admiral Tsuru's fleet. I am Taozhi, the commander of this ship."

"Huh? A major general at that. Don't dare to board my ship again next time. Give her the Den Den Mushi."

Soon, Afu took out the Den Den Mushi, and Momoe hurriedly snatched it and started contacting Vice Admiral Tsuru, even forgetting to avoid Leo and the others.

"This is the Third Fleet. I'm Commander Momoeda, requesting to speak to Vice Admiral Tsuru."

"I'm He, Taozhi, why did you suddenly lose contact?"

"Sister Tsuru, we found Doflamingo's Flamingo. A fierce battle ensued and it was sunk by the enemy. We have confirmed that Doflamingo himself is on board."

"What? Oops, he fooled me. Taozhi, where are you?"

"I'm off Mignon Island, on the mobile life-saving boat."

"Leo saved you? Okay, I get it, just give him the phone."

Taozhi looked at Leo in a daze, and wanted to hand the Den Den Mushi to him, but she was a little scared by Leo's attitude just now, and froze for a moment.

Leo smiled and took the Den Den Mushi: "Long time no see, Sister Tsuru."

"Why are you in the North Sea? Can't the Grand Line accommodate you?"

"Hey, isn't the New Year coming soon? I'm going back to visit my relatives."

Lieutenant General He was stunned on the other end of the phone. Isn't Leo from Xihai? Then he realized that this guy was talking nonsense and didn't tell the truth: "Thank you for this time, but please protect them for a while. I'm on my way to you."

Leo smiled even more happily: "I am happy to serve you. I promise to take good care of them. Sister He, just take your time on your way."

"You are such a sweet talker, just wait for me." Kaga.

After the call ended, Leo looked at Taozhi, who looked nervous, and said, "You heard it too. Please stay here and wait for your parents to pick you up."

Taozhi's face turned red with anger: "I'm not a child. I'm waiting for Sister He here because..."

Leo raised his eyebrows, and Taozhi realized that she almost leaked the secret, so she quickly covered her mouth with both hands, looking away with her big eyes guiltily. Her cute appearance made Leo couldn't help but pinch the other's little face.

Momoe left with tears in her eyes, but Leo fell into deep thought. At this time, the North Sea, Mignon Island, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Doflamingo, many clues came together. Even if Leo didn't search his memory, he knew that they were fighting for the surgery fruit.

Thinking of the Operation Fruit, Leo became conflicted again. He also wanted this powerful fruit. Even if he didn't eat it, he could still recover the power. Besides, the experiment of bestowing the superhuman fruit on objects had reached a bottleneck, and he needed more materials.

No matter how you look at it, Leo should fight for the Ope Ope Fruit, but Leo likes that kid very much. In the original work, this character is cool, reliable and a good person. He also has a deep hatred for the Celestial Dragons and is an important chess piece in the future resistance against the Celestial Dragons.

After repeated consideration, Leo decided to help Luo and saved Rosinante to do Zhan Guo a favor.

A day later, Vice Admiral Tsuru took away the soldiers of the third ship. Before leaving, he warned Leo that the nearby waters were unsafe and asked him to leave immediately. Watching the warship go away, Leo rubbed his chin with one hand and showed a sly smile.

"Brothers, this trip to Beihai was not in vain. After meeting old friends, please accompany me to meet old friends."

Doflamingo, here I come.
