One Piece: Under the Throne

Shanks firmly grabbed the rope thrown from the ship and was pulled up with Luffy in one hand.

"YO! Long time no see Leo. You haven't changed much."

Leo instantly flew into a rage and yelled at Shanks: "Who are you calling a little kid who never grows up, you bastard?"

Shanks, on the other hand, seemed to be fine. He scratched his head and laughed foolishly, "Ahahaha, brother, you are still so funny. I have heard of your name over the years. I heard that you have recently become a lackey of the Celestial Dragons. I think your name is Water Angel? Haha, how embarrassing."

"Oh my god, you don't understand the situation. If you don't speak properly, your journey will end soon."

Since Leo crossed into the world of pirates, there are only two people who can break his defense with just a few words, one is Garp and the other is Shanks. After being ridiculed by the two, Leo can no longer suppress his anger.

Shanks looked at the unknown weapon aimed at him, and remembering the tragic death of the King of the Sea, he immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy: "It was just a joke, don't be so stingy, you're not a child anymore."

The floating cannon made Luffy, the heartless boy, eyes light up. He hugged Leo's legs with an obsessed look on his face: "Brother, what is that? So cool."

Seeing that his saliva was about to drip onto his pants, Leo wanted to push Luffy away with a look of disgust, but he underestimated the perseverance of this naughty boy. Leo used a Hundred Kicks, but Luffy didn't move at all and even crawled up Leo's thigh like a caterpillar.

"Shanks, get your bastard away, your saliva is getting on my pants."

"Hahahaha, Luffy likes you a lot, you two brothers should get closer."

"Let go, kid, don't grab my belt, bastard."

……

The Poseidon and the Redvers were docked side by side at the port, and Leo and his crew entered the Windmill Village. With his talent for making friends as a social person, Shanks had become familiar with everyone in a short period of time. Luffy was still pestering Leo to see the laser cannon, and there was constant laughter along the way, and they soon arrived at the Windmill Village Banquet Bar.

Before Leo could even enter, a group of people rushed out of the bar. A quick glance showed that they were all Shanks' accomplices. Suddenly, a young woman crossed the crowd, grabbed Luffy's ear and pulled him off Leo's back.

Makino nervously checked Luffy's body up and down, then hugged him in his arms: "Luffy, you are not hurt, I was worried to death."

Luffy stuck his head out of Makino's arms and showed a bright smile: "Don't worry, Makino, it was Shanks and Brother Leo who saved me."

Leo looked at them with a smile. What a simple and gentle woman. Makino contributed greatly to Luffy's optimistic and cheerful personality.

Suddenly Makino raised her head and her eyes met Leo's: "Thank you for saving little Luffy. This naughty child has caused trouble for everyone."

For some reason, Leo felt his heartbeat quicken when being stared at by Makino's pure eyes. He quickly turned his head away and waved his hand as if he didn't care: "It's nothing, I just happened to bump into you. You should thank Shanks, he almost lost an arm to save Luffy."

After hearing what Leo said, Makino led Luffy to bow and thank Shanks, but the latter just laughed.

Suddenly Shanks came to Leo, put his arm around his shoulders and excitedly introduced his companions.

Ben Beckman, who looks like a scumbag, is rumored to be the user of the Don't Move Fruit, the fat Garbage Road, Leo resisted the urge to complain about his name, the long-nosed Jesus Bu is also the father of the future great god Usopp, and there are also Lime Jones, Bendik Snake, Harlem Gabe, Hongo, and Bunker Punch, all of whom are faces that did not have many roles in the original work.

The one that interested Leo the most was a girl with red and white hair. Leo knew that she was Shanks' daughter named Uta. The little girl gave Leo a sweet smile and then ran to Gloria and chattered non-stop.

After teaching Luffy a lesson, Makino quickly invited everyone into the tavern, and they started a party with toasts and cups.

Shanks and Leo sat at the bar, drinking from their glasses. After finishing another glass of wine, Shanks spoke first: "Leo, what are you doing in Windmill Village? A big shot like you wouldn't go to a small place like this for no reason."

Leo also put down his glass and looked at Shanks with disdain: "Tsk, I can go wherever I want. There is no difficulty on the sea that can stop me."

Shanks refilled Leo's glass, "Speak properly. I didn't ask you to brag. What on earth are you doing here?"

"That bastard Garp asked me to spend the New Year with his unlucky grandson, but he stood me up and asked me to come and give him a gift."

"Pfft, hahahahahaha, as expected of Mr. Karp, this is indeed something he can do. But why are you so obedient? This is not like you."

Leo drank his wine depressedly: "I can't help Uncle Cap to solve some problems for me. I owe you a big favor."

"Oh? What trouble have you gotten yourself into again? Are you going to become a pirate?"

"Don't compare me to trash like you. I was just doing good deeds, but I was careless and exposed my flaws."

"Hahahaha, is this also why you agreed to join the Shichibukai?"

"It's somewhat related. I told you that old man Zhan Guo is very bad. I saved his godson, but he turned around and plotted against me."

"Zhan Guo, you'd better not get too involved with him. He is a person that is hard to understand."

"How come you were also in Windmill Village? If I had been a little later, your arm would have been gone. And why did you look so relieved at that time?"

Leo's words made Shanks stop smiling. He rubbed his left arm as if talking to himself, "I plan to block the future of the world with my arm."

"Pfft! Hahaha, Shanks, stop it. You're putting on a serious expression and acting like it's serious. Garp's idiot grandson is the future of the world. You must have water in your head. I can believe you when you say you are the future of the world, but forget about that kid."

"Eh? You know shit. I trust my instincts. Luffy is the one the captain has been looking for."

"Roger? Stop bragging, okay? Have you asked Roger? If so, when I was on the execution ground, I responded to the Pirate King with my Conqueror's Haki, and I saw Roger smiling at me. I think I am the one who inherited Roger's will."

Shanks stared at Leo with disdain, "You? How can you inherit the captain's will if you're not even a pirate? Oh no, now you're a pirate too, and a lackey of the Celestial Dragons."

Leo suddenly jumped onto a stool, stepped on the bar with one foot, and looked down at Shanks: "Damn, I think you are too stubborn. You want to be beaten? I will grant your wish."

Huh? Shanks also jumped onto the stool and butted his head against Leo's forehead: "That's exactly what I meant. I wanted to teach you a lesson at the execution ground that year."

Seeing the two captains confronting each other, there was a heated booing in the bar.

"Leo, don't lose to the red-haired guy."

"We'll be famous if Shanks defeats the Shichibukai."

"Kick his ass."

"Pull his hair."

The two of them remained in a stalemate for a while, then suddenly felt bored and sat back in their chairs. Everyone sighed in disappointment when they saw that they didn't fight.

After they sat down, the two said nothing and just drank quietly. Leo broke the silence by saying, "You are such a bastard to put such a heavy burden on a child. Besides, Luffy's grandfather is a navy hero. How could he become a pirate?"

Shanks didn't answer, but just looked at Luffy with gentle eyes. At this time, Luffy was sitting at the children's table and performing a show for everyone using the ability of the Rubber Fruit he had just obtained.

Shanks took a sip of wine and said slowly: "You don't understand, Luffy will definitely become a pirate, he is the child of destiny."

Leo raised his eyebrows. Why is Shanks so sure? Are you also a time traveler? Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on his face: "Shanks, how about we compete to see who can influence Luffy?"

"Hey, hey, what are you doing? People's will is free. I won't let you mislead Luffy."

Leo knocked Shanks' hand off his collar and said, "That sounds nice, but you're also forcing your will into Luffy."

"I didn't. I can feel that Luffy really wants to be a pirate."

"Then call him and see if he agrees."

"Just call me, Luffy, come with me to sea as a pirate."

Hearing Shanks' call, Luffy's eyes lit up and he ran over excitedly: "Okay, okay, let's..."

Luffy was attracted by the robot in Leo's hand when he was halfway through his words: "Boy, do you want to be a pirate, or do you want a robot?"

Luffy yelled with stars in his eyes, "I want a robot."

Leo: Poof!

Shanks:......
