One Piece: Under the Throne

On the Champagne commercial street, a blond-haired, blue-eyed young man in gorgeous clothes was walking alone on the road, and not far behind him, several beautiful girls were following him, screaming.

"Lord West is so handsome."

"That cold and elegant temperament, those melancholy eyes, I can't bear it."

The young man called West stopped, turned around and stared at the girls with annoyance: "Don't follow me anymore, you are annoying."

"Ah! I...I'm going to die. Lord West is actually scolding me, Modo Modo."

"I'm so handsome even when I'm angry. Please marry me, sir."

West frowned even deeper, he just wanted to be alone, but why was it so noisy everywhere? Seeing that the warning had no effect, West had to take big strides and speed up.

When passing by a drunk man, West accidentally bumped into him.

The drunk man exhaled a breath of alcohol and roared in dissatisfaction: "You bastard, you don't have eyes. Do you know who I am, you sissy...Huh?"

When the drunk saw West's appearance clearly, he was suddenly stunned and stared blankly at the running figure until the other person disappeared around the corner of the alley.

"Burp! It's really a big fish. If I catch you, it will be enough to pay for my drinking money in the second half of the year. Hehehe." The drunk man threw away the empty bottle and chased after West with a sly smile on his face.

West found a deserted alley, turned several corners and suddenly stopped: "Come out, I just bumped into you, is there any need to chase you so far?"

From the shadows at the alley in front of West, a drunk man burped and walked out: "You run, the more nervous the prey is, the more excited I am. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, Paper Man West, your face is worthy of your reward."

The paper man West mentioned by the drunkard is one of this year's supernovas and the captain of the Stylist Pirates. It is rumored that West is the second prince of a certain country and was permanently expelled from his own country for rebellion.

West, who was once a top aristocrat, has been favored by women on the sea since he became famous at sea. Because of his elegant manners and indifferent personality, he is affectionately called the Ice Beauty by many female fans.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" West's tone was as cold as his nickname as soon as he opened his mouth, as if to freeze people.

"Haha, don't you recognize me? After all, we are both supernovas. But it's okay this way. I got your head worth 2 million."

The drunk approached West at a speed that was inconsistent with his size. The drunk grabbed West's hand, and West instantly drew the rapier from his waist to fight back.

Seeing that the drunkard easily dodged his attack, West tiptoed after him. Unexpectedly, he felt a pulling sensation from the wrist that the other party had held. West turned around and saw that his left hand was handcuffed, and one end of the chain was connected to the wall next to him.

Seeing that his plot had succeeded, the drunk grinned and revealed an ugly smile: "I caught you, Ice Beauty, let me introduce myself. I am the captain of the Handcuff Pirates, the Black Heart Hunter Hayden. I really like pretty boys like you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Hayden took out his two pistols and aimed at West. Four bullets fired at West's limb joints.

A surprising scene appeared. The bullet penetrated West's knee and elbow but not a drop of blood was shed. At the same time, several cracks appeared on West's body, and then he turned into shredded paper and disappeared.

Haydn was shocked and saw red light flashing in his eyes. He was using his observation Haki to search for West. Suddenly, he felt a stinging pain behind him. It was too late for Haydn to dodge, so he had to cross his pistols behind his back to block.

After two sounds of metal clashing, the pistol broke into two pieces. Haydn leaped forward as his weapon was destroyed, and with a roll he adjusted his body to face West again.

The scraps of paper that floated into the air also reconstructed West's figure: "Give up, you are not my opponent, and I am not interested in you."

Haydn sweated profusely as his temples sank, and he was no longer drunk. "The user of the Paper-Paper Fruit? It's a really powerful fruit."

Suddenly, a sneer appeared on Haydn's lips: "But it's more interesting to hunt you like this." Haydn threw his coat towards West, and when he was close to him, the clothes turned into a pair of handcuffs.

West was careless for a moment and was handcuffed in an instant. He was thrown backwards by the handcuffs and only stopped when he hit a building.

Hayden showed a triumphant smile. He slightly turned his head to avoid the piece of paper thrown by West during his counterattack, and said proudly: "I am the user of the Handcuffs Fruit. It must be very uncomfortable to be handcuffed by these seastone handcuffs specially prepared for users with special abilities."

The user of the Handcuffs Fruit can transform any strip of object they touch into handcuffs. The user can choose any material of the handcuffs, even seastone, the nemesis of the Devil Fruit.

But before Haydn could feel proud for too long, West's voice came from behind him. Haydn's pupils constricted instantly, and at the same time he felt a sharp pain in his back.

Haydn screamed and fell to the ground. He turned his head with great effort and found that the person who had just dodged the piece of paper had turned into West himself, with the sword in his hand still dripping with blood.

West looked at Haydn with cold eyes: "What a trouble, I'd better kill you." As soon as he finished speaking, pieces of paper flew in the air and attached to the sword. West's eyes focused and he quickly drew his sword [Pure White Slash].

Before the slash could hit Haydn something unexpected happened. Amidst a burst of hysterical laughter, West was engulfed in fire.

"Yeah hahaha, go to hell, handsome boy. I'm going to kill all of you competitors."

A short and sturdy figure walked over from a distance, holding a flamethrower and continuously spraying flames at the place where West was standing.

About 5 minutes later, the air seemed to be burnt, and the whole alley was filled with a hot breath and a burnt smell. "Waste Hayden, you are simply a disgrace to the profession of bounty hunter. But it just so happens that your fight is a good thing for Master Musk, hahahaha."

The man with the perverted laughter is none other than Arsonist Musk, the captain of the Flame Drum Tower Pirates and the user of the Oil-Oil Fruit. He is the only supernova from the East China Sea this year and also the most notorious one. It is rumored that five islands were reduced to ruins because of him.

Musk twitched his nose, his expression becoming more and more intoxicated: "Turn to ashes? How sad, paper man, but who makes me your nemesis, yeah hahaha."

After dealing with West, Musk turned his attention to the black-hearted hunter Hayden, who was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and retreated desperately using his hands and feet.

"It's your turn, sweetheart. It feels so good to take down two supernovas at once."

Suddenly, a cold voice came from above: "Really? Disgusting thing, please go die first."

Countless pieces of paper fell from the sky, and the sharp pieces of paper instantly cut the alley into pieces. The rain of paper fell hard and went away quickly. After a few seconds, there was nothing intact in the alley.

As papers flew, West reappeared on the roof. He glanced down with a cold gaze. Except for Musk who was lying on the ground covered in blood, Hayden had disappeared.

West seemed to have done something very normal. He turned around and was about to leave when suddenly a roar came from below: "Paper man, stop right there. You are very good. I didn't expect to be fooled by you."

Musk had turned into a bloody man. At this moment, he had a ferocious expression on his face and was waving his arms wildly. The blood he threw out turned into oil and covered the alley. West felt a chill as if something terrible was about to happen.

Musk's eyeballs were bulging and bloodshot, drooling as he showed a crazy smile. He took out a lighter from his back with his bloody hand and said, "Let's see who dies first, paper man, enjoy hell with me."

In an instant, the fire ignited the entire alley, and the scorching temperature burned the surrounding buildings red.

……

At this time, near the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago, a pure black pirate ship was floating on the sea like a coffin. The flag on the ship was two ghosts with strange smiles crossed together. The owner of the ship was also this year's pirate supernova, Gray Lady Angie of the Ghost Pirates. She was also the youngest supernova.

There were bursts of singing coming from the Coffin Pirate Ship, as if ghosts were singing. There were also translucent ghosts flying around the ship from time to time, it was simply a ghost ship.

The cabin was completely enclosed, with a few oil lamps emitting faint light. A girl in a Gothic dress sat elegantly in a rocking chair, her face completely hidden in the darkness, with only a pair of silver eyes emerging, and endless madness seemed to be brewing in her eyes, as if she wanted to destroy the whole world.

Suddenly the cabin door was pushed open, and an old woman with a haggard face came in with a hunched back carrying a tray. On the tray was a goblet filled with a blood-red liquid.

"Miss, your watermelon juice is fresh fruit found on the merchant ship that sank yesterday."

The girl took a sip and said, "It tastes good. The witch's skill in mixing juice has improved again. I want to reward you."

The witch was overjoyed when she heard this. She immediately knelt down and kissed the girl's shoes: "Thank you, young lady. Please give me fear."

"as you wish!"

Soon the room was filled with the witch's shrill roars, which were a mixture of fear and excitement. The planks were unable to block the screams, and the creatures around the coffin ship fainted instantly.

The shrill cry was suddenly interrupted by a hoarse shout. A ship that seemed to have encountered a shipwreck caught up with the coffin ship from behind: "Ghost sister found you. Since the last time we parted, I have missed you all the time. I want to tear you open and see your tender heart."

The shabby ship was covered with cobwebs, as if no one had taken care of it for hundreds of years. On the mast hung a tattered pirate flag, with a tombstone with a cross on it.

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the bankrupt deck. It was none other than the most mysterious supernova, the captain of the Moving Grave Pirates, the Gravedigger Claude.

"Sister Angie, here I come. This broken coffin can't stop me." As he said this, Claude was about to jump onto the coffin boat.

But before he could act, countless water splashed up from both sides of the ship, and a large ship that looked very powerful appeared on the channel. The ship was emitting steam and its multiple wheels were spinning rapidly. It caught up with them in the blink of an eye.

"Get out of the way! Who gave you the courage to stand in front of the great Lord Claire?"

This ironclad ship full of cannons is the Shipwright Pirates. Their captain is known as the humanoid weapon Carlisle. All members of the pirate group are from the Water City. They believe in robbing the rich to help the poor, and actually secretly support the Water City.

At this point, all ten supernovas have appeared on the stage. It was supposed to be a competition for the title of Rookie King, but they didn't know that they had been targeted by an even more terrifying hunter.
