One Piece: Under the Throne

Leo rubbed his head as he walked along the commercial street. It was amazing that the crazy woman Xia Qi was so cruel. However, she was a person with a cold exterior but a warm heart, and her craftsmanship was really good. He would definitely visit her shop when he had time.

Leo was strolling while thinking about something, and he didn't notice that he had arrived at the door of the human auction house. The auction had just ended, and many "nobles" dressed in jewels and precious stones walked out of the auction house with their trophies.

Leo hid in the alley next to him with some disgust, revealing half of his face and staring at them coldly. Some nobles were comparing their slaves with each other, as if they were comparing two animals, or they were beating and kicking their slaves, even beating them until they vomited blood without stopping.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and then they parted the middle to make way. I saw the Celestial Dragons wearing bubble helmets riding slaves along this road. The nobles who were so arrogant just now knelt on the ground in an orderly manner. Sure enough, in front of the world's biggest cancer, those people were nothing.

Shit, he actually met Celestial Dragons here. Leo didn't want to kneel down to them, nor did he want to have a conflict with them, so he shrank back into the alley. If he couldn't afford to provoke them, he could at least hide from them. Let's just not meet each other as kings.

"Saint Charmaco, the slaves you just purchased have been traded. Please give your orders."

"We are tired from playing today. Let's take all the slaves and return to Marijoa now." The celestial dragon answered listlessly.

Suddenly, Saint Chalmaco kicked the slave under him to signal him to stop. After stopping, Saint Chalmaco looked carefully at the girl kneeling on the side of the road, pointed at her and said, "Take her back and make her my 15th wife, and then drive No. 1 to 5 out of the holy land."

A bearded nobleman beside the girl suddenly spoke up, "Sir, she is the princess of the Kingdom of Cocolia. This time she is accompanying the king to visit other countries. Please..."

Bang! The bearded man fell down, and the girl next to him covered her mouth in fear, tears streaming down her face.

"Who are you to talk to me? What's wrong with the princess? It is her greatest honor to serve the descendants of God. The guards took her away with their slaves. We are lucky today. We can even pick up slaves on the road."

The girl's eyes gradually changed from fear to despair. She did not even resist when the guards put a slave collar on her. She joined the Celestial Dragons' team like a zombie.

Leo watched everything that happened with cold eyes. What was this? The big fish eat the small fish, and the small fish eat the shrimp? Those nobles who wantonly trampled on the dignity of others were no different from ants in the eyes of the Tianlong people.

In that case, I won't be polite. I forgot to touch the bodies of those villains when I killed them. I can just get them back from these nobles. After the farce was over, Leo stared at a noble who was in a hurry and followed him quietly.

As he passed through the crowd, Leo heard the frightened nobles whispering, "Those damn people from the Kingdom of Cocolia are really going to cause us trouble."

“Haha, that bitch dressed so seductively, she deserves to be noticed by the Celestial Dragons. This time she’s going to enjoy herself, hahahaha.”

After the danger was over, the nobles regained their arrogance and were even in the mood to tease the lucky person who was chosen, as if they had forgotten that the person who was taken away was also one of them.

Leo thought secretly in his heart: "What a bunch of scum, they actually build their own happiness on the suffering of others. But your money will soon become mine." Leo followed the nobles out to sea before he decided to take action.

"These 100 million Baileys are really worth it. They smell so good, my little beauty. Let me love you well." The fat nobleman sniffed in front of a girl in a dancer's costume. A young girl like this can be bought for 50 to 100 million Baileys in a human auction house.

According to the auction house, the quality of this slave girl is very high. The girl is only 16 years old. Her pair of big, shining eyes are now filled with tears. She is wearing translucent gauze, which only covers her chest. Her lower body is wearing cropped pants, and there is a bell ring on her left ankle.

The pitiful appearance and half-covered clothes made this young girl look even more attractive. The pig-like noble could no longer endure it, and soon the sounds of clothes being torn and the girl's crying were heard in the room.

Leo found a giant sea snake on the seabed and led it to the ship where the nobles were on board. He planned to use it to test the other party's guard strength. As soon as the sea snake approached the ship, it attacked, angrily wrapping its body around the hull, shaking the boat vigorously, and occasionally opening its mouth to bite the panicked guards.

When it seemed that the time had come, Leo suddenly activated his ability and caused a shipwreck. A huge whirlpool directly swallowed up the noble's ship and the huge sea water. Anyone who looked at it was an accident. The unlucky noble encountered a shipwreck on the way back, and the entire ship and the noble's treasures sank into the sea.

After Leo triggered the whirlpool, he no longer cared about this side. The life or death of the people on the boat depended on their own luck. But he was like a diligent scavenger, using a submarine to drag a net bag to continuously salvage the gold coins that fell to the bottom of the sea.

Sinking a ship was just a trivial matter for Leo, but what he didn't notice was that a naked girl was slowly sinking into the cold sea. Maybe she had died before the ship sank. In Leo's perception, the girl was no different from an object, a soulless thing. Sure enough, silent crying is always ignored by this world.

Returning to Port 25 with the spoils, Leo nodded with satisfaction after counting the two large boxes of gold coins. I'm really hungry after being busy for a long time. Haha, I can go to Xia Qi's place for a meal again.

It was dinner time again, and the small shop was still deserted. Xia Qi lazily lay on the bar, glanced at the person who came, and said unhappily: "Boy, you actually have the guts to come back."

Leo walked to the bar, sat down on the high stool, and shook the gold coins in his hand: "Let's pay the last meal together," Leo said in a relaxed tone.

Xia Qi raised her eyebrows, picked up the bag, weighed it, and asked in a contemptuous tone, "Did you do shady work?"

"No, don't talk nonsense. I just happened to do some good things at sea. These are the rewards given to me by the other party."

"Haha, you are the one who dares to eat and dine here for free. You are as bold as you are shameless. There are pirates everywhere now. Why wouldn't you be afraid to admit it?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I have very strict parents and I hate pirates. This money belongs to those filthy nobles. They have too much money to spend anyway, so I can help them spend it."

Xia Qi frowned at Leo's contemptuous look when he mentioned pirates. Who are you pretending to be noble with? They are all robberies, why are you the only one who is so pure and unworldly? Xia Qi is a little confused about this thick-skinned and arrogant boy.

"What's the difference? In my opinion, you are not as good as those pirates. At least they dare to take responsibility for their actions. And you are just a two-faced villain. Get out of here and I won't serve you anymore."

Leo looked at Xia Qi with a smile, took out another bag of gold coins and threw it on the table, "Make me something to eat, I like your cooking skills."

Xia Qi looked at Leo coldly, "No, our store doesn't welcome people like you. If you don't get out of here, I'll let you see what a real pirate is today."

Leo chuckled. "Sister Pirate, you're not going to chase me away just because I said I hate pirates, are you? Don't be so petty. Okay, okay, I beg to differ with what you said about pirates being brave enough to take responsibility for their actions. Times have changed. Pirates today are not as courageous as those in the old days. At least the pirates of the new era have learned to beg for mercy."

Leo paused, and seeing that Xia Qi was still looking at him coldly, he continued, "I don't object to you saying that I am two-faced, but I never bully the weak and fear the strong. If you piss me off, I dare to rob even the Celestial Dragons."

Xia Qi was a little speechless. Is there something wrong with this kid's brain? Doesn't he know his own weight? How dare he touch the Celestial Dragons? He is really arrogant. If Rocks said so, there would be nothing wrong with it. But if it was this ignorant kid, Xia Qi would just find it ridiculous.

"Boy, I misunderstood. It turns out you are just a lunatic. You went out to sea to die, so you'd better choose a cemetery with good scenery for yourself." Xia Qi sneered.

"No! I go to sea just for freedom, real freedom." Leo answered Shaqi's sarcasm seriously and repeated it with emphasis.

Xia Qi obviously didn't expect this guy to answer him like this, and suddenly he became interested in him, "Freedom? What kind of freedom are you pursuing?"

"What I pursue is unfettered freedom. I will find a group of friends I can trust my life to. Together we can travel across the sea and eat all kinds of delicious food. I can get everything I want, and anyone who dares to hinder us will be ruthlessly crushed.

Xia Qi stared at Leo in a daze: "Rocks!?... How terrifying, so naive. If you want to do whatever you want in this sea, you must have the strength to match it."

"Oh my! Beautiful pirate sister, are you imparting your experience to me? I'm so moved. But can you fill my stomach first? Otherwise, I'll starve to death before I can finish being moved." After saying that, she pushed the purse in front of Xia Qi, and then stared at her with her two big watery eyes.

Xia Qi rolled her eyes and put away her money bag. "How can I refuse if you are willing to be blackmailed? It will be much easier for me if I have more people like you taking care of my business. And my name is Xia Qi. According to seniority, you should call me aunt. Don't be so disrespectful."

"Okay, Sister Xia Qi." At this moment, Leo's smile was as warm as the sun.
