One Piece: Under the Throne

"It's so cold!"

Gloria clasped her arms and rubbed them constantly. Leo and Gloria fell into a snowy field, surrounded by a vast expanse of white sky with snowflakes still floating.

This caught the two people who had just come from the warm climate of the East China Sea off guard, especially Gloria, whose two beautiful legs that she was so proud of now became a burden.

"I didn't expect there was such an area on the floating island. How on earth did that guy named Shiki do it?"

Before Gloria could finish her words, a piece of clothing covered her head, and Leo threw his coat to her.

"This is not Shiki's masterpiece. There is no island with a constant climate in the Grand Line. Shiki only brought the island to the sky. Be patient for a while. The mecha will need some time to recharge."

"Damn it, I didn't expect my perfect mecha to run out of power in a cold area."

After answering Gloria's question, Leo began to mutter again. He had been in this state for a long time.

"Thank you, Captain. Your behavior is a plus with the ladies. It's so warm. I don't know where the others fell."

"There are sixteen floating islands of different sizes on the Golden Lion. I didn't pay attention to the direction they fell when they were thrown out, but I believe they will be fine."

Roar!

A sudden roar interrupted their conversation, and a huge beast rushed towards them. This beast had the appearance of a polar bear, but had long fangs like a sea lion in its mouth. Behind its wildly swinging thick legs was a fish tail. It looked indescribably weird.

"what is that?"

"food."

Both of them ignored the danger in front of them and instead discussed how to cook the running food.

Soon the beasts started to enjoy the barbecue. It must be said that the large snow creatures have a lot of fat. When roasted over a fire, the melted fat dripped into the fire like rain.

"It's delicious. It's really delicious. The original flavor has this aroma. If Charles were here, I can't imagine how many delicious dishes he could make."

Before he could swallow the meat in his mouth, he took another bite. Leo's mouth was puffed up like a hamster.

The other hamster also had its mouth full of oil and nodded as it ate. It was obvious that Gloria also agreed with Leo's idea.

"Captain, how long will it take for your mecha to fly? Let's go and reunite with everyone."

After a while, a figure with blue light rose into the sky. Leo held Gloria in one hand and the monster's leg in the other and left the snowfield.

……

"Will this way."

"coming."

In the forest, a group of giant black scorpions are chasing a meat ball. The little fat man seems to be running for his life, but from the fact that he keeps looking back and making provocative gestures to the scorpions, it is clear that things are not simple.

Soon Will rushed out of the woods and came to a ruin, where a girl as beautiful as a doll was waiting in front of him.

"Catch him Mr. Trapgrass."

A soft and lovely voice came out from the mouth of the girl, and the vines scattered on the ground everywhere in the ruins suddenly came alive and quickly tied up the group of scorpions tightly.

"48, 49, 50, that's all. I hope Charles likes our gift."

"Hey, these scorpions look delicious. I've been looking forward to Charles' insect dishes for a long time."

The vines lifted Victoria onto Will's shoulders, and Will dragged a trail of prey out of the jungle.

"Will, how long do you think this much food will last?"

"If Gloria, Leo, and I eat as much as we want, 10 days will be enough."

"I'm so envious. My mom said that children who eat a lot grow fast, but why can't I grow up no matter how much I eat?"

"Don't worry, just keep going and you'll be fine."

……

In a ruin surrounded by a forest of fiery red maple leaves, the butler Ah Fu strolled elegantly: "With this kind of scenery, it would be nice to have a cup of black tea."

Ah Fu picked up a maple leaf and spun it casually. This was a flooded town. Ah Fu walked on the stone bridge that divided the town. There was clear lake water on both sides of the stone bridge. Through the lake water, he could see the buildings hidden under the water at a glance.

Just when Ah Fu reached the middle of the bridge, the lake water beneath his feet suddenly rippled, and a strange creature with a shark's head and a body as slender as an eel jumped out of the lake. The monster bit Ah Fu with red eyes.

Ah Fu didn't even look at the monster, still playing with the red maple leaf in his hand. Just as the sharp teeth were about to approach him, several sword lights flashed across the body of the strange fish. The strange fish maintained the hunting posture and slid for a few seconds, then broke into several pieces and fell on the bridge and into the lake.

The speed of the chopping was too fast, and the pieces of the strange fish remained still for a while before blood began to flow out.

Ah Fu frowned and looked at the lake. The water was now polluted by fish blood, like ink spreading on white drawing paper.

“It’s really inelegant.”

After sighing, Ah Fu looked into the distance again. A rustling sound came from the shadow of the ruins, and soon a group of strange insects rushed onto the stone bridge. They were attracted by the blood.

When the worms passed by the body of the strange fish, the flesh on the body disappeared bit by bit as if being erased by an eraser, leaving behind only white bones without a trace of flesh and blood.

Ah Fu seemed to hesitate, then shook his head. The golden flying slash flew away along the bridge surface, and the bones of the strange insects and fish disappeared.

"What a shame, you guys are pretty good cleaners."

After saying this, he turned around gracefully and continued forward. The hem of his tuxedo trembled slightly as he walked. The sound of his gentle footsteps and the thumping of his cane hitting the ground echoed in the ruins.

……

Passing through the jungle, the trees ahead gradually became sparse. Will, who was walking in the front, suddenly frowned, covered his nose and made a painful sound: "What's that smell? It's too irritating."

Victoria, who was sitting on his shoulder, saw his painful state and asked in confusion, "Will, what's wrong with you?"

"Don't you smell it? It smells terrible, like someone is poking my nose with a syringe."

As soon as Will finished his words, the giant beasts that were originally unconscious in the vines suddenly rioted, and Will was almost pulled down by the struggling force of 50 giant beasts.

"Hey, stop making trouble. If it weren't for the fresh food, I would have killed you long ago."

While Will was wrestling with the beast, Victoria walked to the edge of the tree, and when she got closer, she finally smelled something. It turned out that it was the trees that were emitting the smell.

Victoria carefully analyzed the composition of the smell: "The smell is strong and slightly toxic. If inhaled for a long time, it will accumulate in the body."

Then Victoria stretched out her hand and pressed it on the bark. She felt a slight numbness in her palm. Victoria looked at her retracted hand and saw that her originally fair and tender little hand had been stained with a light green color.

"The toxicity of the tree bark is about 500 times that of the smell. Contact can cause instant infection. Symptoms include light green patches on the skin that gradually become stiff. It seems that this poison can cause symptoms similar to zombie disease."

Seeing Victoria was lost in his research, Will shouted anxiously, "Victorique, stop researching and knock out the beast first."

"Don't worry, I have found the cause of the monster riot and will solve it soon."

【Wake up, Mr. Tree! 】

The ability of the plant fruit was activated and spread through the roots of a tree. Soon the entire poisonous forest came to life. One by one, the trees emitting poisonous gas turned into soldiers, their roots pulled out of the soil and turned into legs, and then lined up beside the clumsy Victoria.

“Please stop poisoning.”

Following the girl's order, all the treemen soldiers put on an expression as if they were holding back their excrement. The source of the poison gas was completely cut off, and the remaining poison gas in the air quickly dissipated with the wind.

The still struggling giant beast was suddenly stunned, looked around suspiciously, and then attacked the big net of vines even more frantically.

"Behave yourself, Mr. Ivy injects poison."

Will wiped the sweat off his head and sat down on the ground with a bit of exhaustion: "Finally solved, Victoria, you are still reliable. Now the irritating smell is much less."

"Hey, hey, as long as it's a plant, there's nothing I can't handle. Let's go into the village."

Soon the two men dragged a bunch of wild beasts into the village. When the villagers saw the wild beasts, they screamed and fled in all directions.

Will looked embarrassed, and Victoria made a megaphone out of leaves to explain to everyone that they didn't need to worry about getting hurt.

"We were so careless. We didn't expect there were people in the village. Our behavior scared everyone." Seeing that persuasion was futile, Victoria said to Will with a guilty look on her face.

"We can't help it. There are so many abandoned villages in the jungle. Who would have thought that there are people here? Let's leave quickly."

The two were about to leave when they were stopped by a familiar voice.

"Will, Victoria, you are here, over here."

Leo ran over from the village excitedly. When he came in front of the two of them, Leo lifted Victoria up high and turned her around a few times, then hugged Will.

"I didn't expect to meet you here. Gloria and I just arrived and are trying to get information."

After saying that, Leo was attracted by the prey behind Will: "Huh? How did you bring the monster in? The monster should be afraid of the smell of the trees planted around the village."

Victoria's face was flushed. She had not yet recovered from the excitement of spinning in circles. When she heard Leo's question, she immediately patted her chest and said, "I turned those trees that emit poisonous gas into soldiers. They are now holding back the poisonous gas."

"Ah? You can't do that. Victoria, hurry up and have your soldiers release the poison gas, otherwise this village will be destroyed."

As soon as Leo finished speaking, there were several roars coming from the forest in the distance, followed by the sound of trees being knocked down. It was obvious that some wild beasts had noticed that the protection of the village had disappeared.

Victoria did not dare to delay and immediately ordered the tree people soldiers to surround the village. Then "puff!", all the tree people showed an intoxicated look on their faces, and the green mist visible to the naked eye spread into the forest in a circle.

With a thud, Will suddenly fainted with foam at the mouth, and the giant beasts that were still unconscious began to struggle again.

……

At the same time, on another floating island, Charles carried Gloria across the desert. There were several light green marks on Gloria's exposed skin.

Charles shook his upper body to make Gloria more comfortable. "Hold on, we'll be out of this desert soon."

Gloria opened her eyes weakly, took a few deep breaths, then tightened her arms around Charles' neck to signal to him that she was fine.

Soon the two of them reached the edge of the cliff, and looking down, Charles' eyes lit up, and a magnificent city appeared in his sight.
