One Piece: Under the Throne

Soon after Shanks left, Leo also said goodbye to Luffy and the others, and after spending a happy New Year in Windmill Village, it was time to continue the journey.

Leo originally planned to go to Shimotsuki Village to visit Mr. Kosaburo, after all, he was an elder who had once helped him. However, after witnessing the famous scene between Shanks and Luffy, Leo felt even more anxious. He didn't have much time left, as there were only a dozen years left before Luffy, this important chess piece, would go to sea.

The reason why Leo did not overthrow the World Government by himself, but chose Luffy as an opportunity, is because this child has a special identity and he is deeply involved with the three forces of Pirates, Navy, and Revolutionary Army.

We were about to reach Upside Down Mountain again. The red peak pierced the clouds. Everyone looked calm, except Mr. Ah Fu, who seemed a little nervous.

"Captain, we are about to cross the Upside-Down Mountain. Which route should we choose next?"

"Let's get back to the Grand Line. We need to hurry up and find the historical text. Let's go to Alabasta. I guess everyone hasn't seen the desert country yet."

Everyone went upstream with great anticipation, and here we came to the desert country.

After crossing the Upside Down Mountain, there is another famous scenic spot on the Grand Route [Whiskey Mountain]. However, the Baroque Works had only been established for a few years at this time, and there were not many bounty hunters here at this time.

But few does not mean none. When they saw a ship passing by, a group of people grinned and prepared to ambush the Poseidon. But when they saw the Trident flag clearly, they all fell silent and retreated silently without daring to show their heads.

Rio's eyes flashed red and he yawned loudly: "How boring! Crocodile's men are too cowardly."

The others were also puzzled. Victoria looked across the mountains but saw nothing: "Leo, is this where the bounty hunters gather? How come there is no one there?"

Charles placed a cup of black tea in front of Victoria. "Who knows? Maybe this is where turtles gather. Just now, a group of turtles hid on that hill."

Victoria took a sip of the tea and said, "Tortoise? Can a turtle climb a mountain?"

Leo laughed: "Silly sister, there are many varieties of turtles. I'll take you to see a fast-running little turtle if I have the chance."

The rest of the journey was smooth sailing. After passing the Drum Kingdom and the small garden on the ancient island, they finally arrived at Alabasta. Leo and his party also landed at the Rapeseed Flower Port.

Located in the southeast of Alabasta, Rapeseed Port is a huge port city with an endless stream of ships coming and going every day. When the Poseidon entered the port, it caused quite a stir.

"Look, it's the Shichibukai."

"Oh? Which Shichibukai is here?"

"It's the Water Angel, the one who has been saving lives at sea."

"Long live the Water Angel, long live the Water Angel."

Seeing that the person coming was Leo, the port erupted in cheers. This scene confused the members of the mobile life: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Captain, is anyone attacking us?"

Gloria was about to rush over with a sledgehammer, but Leo quickly held her back: "Oh my god, please stop making trouble. People are welcoming us. We are big shots now, and there will be many more such scenes in the future."

"Besides, you are our poster girl, our face, so you have to leave a good impression on everyone."

Gloria quickly threw away the hammer, and hurriedly began to fix her makeup. She looked at herself again and again with a small mirror. Finally, when she was satisfied, she ran to the side of the boat and posed cutely to the crowd.

"The Mobile Life Rescue Team is here to serve you wholeheartedly. I'm the cutest poster girl in the world, kimmi!"

The crowd cheered again: "So cute, look here, little sister, I love you."

Leo also became interested when he heard it. It feels so good to be surrounded by people. Here I come.

Leo walked to the side of the boat so that everyone could see his face clearly and waved. Sure enough, even louder cheers were heard: "Hello, everyone, hello, haha!" Leo had a silly smile on his face, his eyes had narrowed into a line, but the shouts of the crowd were unexpected.

"Get out of the way, that smirking bastard."

"Get out of here, kid. Don't do this in front of Lady Gloria."

Huh? A big question mark appeared on Leo's head. How come I am your Water Angel? Leo, the Water Angel...

Before he could finish his words, Leo was knocked down by a dried tomato. Everyone waved at Gloria frantically, and many people were snapping photos.

As expected of being the most popular star in the world today, all the Seven Warlords of the Sea and other big shots are nothing in front of Gloria. Seeing this, Victoria and Gloria came over and took pictures with Gloria on their left and right. When the photographers saw the three beauties, their eyes were full of hearts and they took pictures more vigorously.

The air pressure in the shadow of the deck became very low. Leo squatted on the deck with a blank look on his face and a look of despair. "I am Shichibukai, right? A great hero on the sea, right?"

Ah Fu rubbed Leo's head and comforted him: "Captain, there is nothing we can do about it. This is reality. Appearance is justice."

Leo looked at Ah Fu in confusion: "But I'm not ugly."

Ah Fu looked at the captain carefully. Indeed, Leo was quite good-looking for a man. After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "But you are short."

Leo: ...

The arrival of the big star Gloria in Rapeseed Harbor caused a sensation. Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea far away in the rainy land, also received the news. His eyes were always on Leo, and past memories came to his mind. Isn't this guy the idiot who pretended to be cool with him in Rogue Town?

"Damn, he also became a Shichibukai, but why did he suddenly come to Alabasta? Could it be..."

Since the World Government introduced the Seven Warlords of the Sea policy, only two members have been recruited. Although they both belong to the World Government, they have no friendship between them and are instead wary of each other.

Crocodile thought about it over and over again but still felt uneasy. He decided to meet the new Shichibukai in person. If the other party discovered his secret, he would bury them. A whirlwind wrapped in yellow sand left the rainy land and headed towards the Rapeseed Harbor.

Leo and his friends finally got rid of the enthusiastic fans and rushed out of the rapeseed harbor. When they came to their senses, they had entered the desert area. Looking around, all they could see was golden. Leo was stunned: "Where is this?"

The hot sun scorched the yellow sand. After the intense exercise, the others were fine, but Will was exhausted and panting: "Leo, it feels so uncomfortable here. I'm almost cooked."

Gloria came over and sniffed: "Will, you smell so good. It's the smell of grilled fish."

Everyone...

A group of people were struggling forward in the rolling yellow sand. Leo and his team had completely lost their direction. Fortunately, he was able to condense pure water so that everyone would not suffer from thirst. Victoria also used his ability to create cactus soldiers. The huge cactus tried hard to support its body to block the sunlight for everyone.

Looking at the direction of the sun, Leo identified the direction, then took off his shoes and threw them into the air. The shoes rolled a few times in the air and landed on the sand, with the toes pointing to the south.

Leo's eyes lit up: "Go this way."

Gloria complained: "Is the captain reliable? We have changed direction several times."

"Stop talking nonsense. It will work this time."

Ah Fu unfolded the map and looked at the direction of the sun. "Captain, let's go this way. There are three cities along the way from Rapeseed Harbor. If we look in the general direction, we may find them. If we are lucky, we may even meet someone to lead the way."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind blew, and the sandstorm instantly submerged Leo and the others. Alfu shouted loudly: "Damn it, it's a sandstorm. Everyone, gather together quickly, or you'll be blown away."

Leo's eyes flashed red: "Brothers, there is no need to run. Our guide is here."
