One Piece: Under the Throne

"Lift it up a little more. Oh, yes, yes, stop!"

"Will, these are the last batch. Let's lock them up on the middle deck."

Leo and his crew were cleaning up the battlefield when Creek and the pirate minions who were lucky enough to be alive were fished out and put into iron cages.

After the duel with Alfu, Mihawk wanted to leave, but was stopped by Leo.

"Hawkeye, don't leave in such a hurry. Since the sword fight hasn't decided the winner, let's have another fight at the wine table."

Mihawk had a blank expression on his face when he heard this, but he still turned around and said, "I won't drink if it's not good wine."

Leo looked at Zhefu with a smile again: "That depends on whether Boss Zhefu is willing to take out his collection."

"Since the two Shichibukai have honored me with a meal at my small restaurant, I will certainly not be stingy with my collection."

So the group entered the restaurant and started a banquet. The happiest person among them was Luffy. This thick-skinned boy forgot about the fact that his pirate ship had been stolen when he heard that there was going to be a banquet.

Zoro didn't take the ship matter to heart. As he could observe the great swordsman up close, why would he care about the pirate ship?

While the chefs were cleaning up the restaurant, Charles found Zhefu and asked, "Do you remember me?"

Zhefu's tense expression finally showed a smile: "Has your dream come true?" It was obvious that he still remembered the cooking competition more than 20 years ago.

Charles also smiled: "My dream is to defeat all the famous chefs in the world to be the world's number one. We didn't compete in the last competition. How about we make up for this regret today?"

Zhefu also became interested: "Okay, I also want to learn your cooking skills, what's the topic?"

"I heard that you fought with the pirates because of a bowl of fried rice. Why don't we use fried rice as the topic of the competition?"

"Okay, let's bet on the reputation of a chef at sea. Don't think you can defeat me easily."

When everyone heard that Boss Tetsuo and the chefs of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were going to have a cooking competition, they started to make a noise.

The competition venue was set up in the restaurant. With the efforts of the enthusiastic chefs, two kitchen tables were set up in a short while. The judges were all the people present.

As the signal for the start of the competition sounded, the two chefs demonstrated their superb cooking skills. Ingredients flew on the chopping board and rice churned in the pot. The people watching around them became even more excited.

Leo really liked this atmosphere and while watching the game he also looked at other people.

Fuku and Mihawk huddled together, and Fuku seemed to be asking Mihawk for advice. Leo was a little curious and leaned over to listen.

Then I heard Ah Fu say, "Brother, how did you come up with that sentence before the battle? It's so elegant. And your boat is also very cool. Why can't I think of this way of sailing?"

Leo almost laughed out loud. So this is what you are asking about. Where has the cold and majestic knight Alfred gone? Now the self-proclaimed elegant butler is so concerned about showing off. Leo shook his head and could only sigh that time is a butcher's knife, and even a great swordsman cannot escape it.

You still envy Hawkeye's coffin boat. Regardless of whether it is auspicious or not, maybe Creek was chased because he saw Hawkeye standing on that boat and peeing into the sea.

Leo also saw Zoro sneaking around behind the two of them out of the corner of his eye, and he pricked up his ears to ask, "Are you trying to steal my skills, kid?"

puff!

Leo couldn't help laughing out loud, and this laugh attracted the attention of the three swordsmen.

Zoro was a little confused, and Mihawk felt that Leo was thinking about something rude, so it was Fuku, who was a family member, who spoke first.

"Captain, what are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, I just thought of something interesting."

"What's interesting?"

Puff, puff, hahahaha, Leo lay down. He was not a professional and really couldn't help it. He wiped his tears and said nonsense: "Isn't it a happy thing to be able to eat delicious food soon?"

Hey, hey, hey, that's such an obvious lie.

After being interrupted by Leo, Ah Fu was too embarrassed to ask any more questions. Fortunately, the two chefs' works were served on the table at this time.

A sip of vintage red wine and a bite of fragrant fried rice, what a happiness!

……

After staying for two days, Leo said goodbye to the restaurant on the sea. Hawkeye left a day earlier, and Luffy and his two companions were invited by Leo to board the ship and chase Nami on the Poseidon.

No one cared why Leo knew the destination was Kokoasi Village, and everyone went about their own business after setting sail.

The Poseidon was very fast and arrived at Cocoyasi Village in just two days. Leo first went to the naval base to hand over the Creek Pirates to the navy. He originally wanted to visit Colonel Mouse by the way, but was told by the remaining navy that the colonel was on a mission.

Leo recalled the original plot, and the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously.

"Luffy, do you want to make a cool appearance?"

"No, I need to go find Nami right away."

"Just to send you to see Nami. Okay guys, get ready to take off!"

Before Luffy and the other two could say anything, the Poseidon rose into the sky, scaring Sanji and Zoro so much that their jaws dropped to the deck. Luffy, on the other hand, had his eyes wide open and his saliva dripping all over the floor.

Soon the Poseidon became a pirate base. Without the evil dragon, Colonel Mouse was able to find new partners, but Kokoyasi Village still could not escape the fate of being enslaved.

Leaning over, I saw a group of villagers confronting pirates, with a little orange-haired girl standing between the two groups of people.

"Are you ready, Luffy?"

"what to prepare?"

"Go away!"

Ah~Ahhhhhhhhhhh

What could be more heroic than falling from the sky?

The Poseidon landed back on the sea, and Leo and his crew continued their adventure.

Bulu Bulu: "Uncle Sengoku, I'm Leo."

"I haven't heard from you for a long time. Where have you been these past two years?"

"That's not important. I have something very interesting to share with you. The Cocoa Village in the East China Sea is being enslaved by a group of pirates. They are clearly trying to enclose the land and become nobles. Don't you think it's funny?"

A cross appeared on Zhan Guo's forehead. Is it worth it for you, Water Angel, to call the Marshal's office for such a small matter? Zhan Guo held back his anger and scolded.

"If there are pirates, why don't you just deal with them? What do you Shichibukai need?"

Leo had a wicked smile on his face. "Are you sure? I saw that the pirates had a good relationship with the local navy, so I thought it was..."

Kagga! Before Leo could finish, he heard the sound of the Den Den Mushi hanging up.

The old man asked you to trick me before, but I can't kill you with anger.

After Warring States hung up the phone, he slammed his fist on the desk and immediately called his adjutant to give orders. He knew that Leo did it on purpose, but of course Warring States would not let Leo interfere in such a scandal within the navy.

After solving Luffy's problem and watching the famous scene, Leo wanted to leave the East China Sea, when suddenly an enticing fragrance wafted over with the wind.

"What a delicious smell, what's for lunch today Charles?"

Charles poked his head out of the cabin with a puzzled look on his face. "Captain, didn't you say you've eaten too well these past two days and wanted to eat some vegetables to clear your stomach?"

Then Charles shrugged his nose again: "What a nice smell, it must have been brought here by the wind. Are there so many famous chefs in the East China Sea?"

Leo suddenly became interested: "Will follows the direction of the smell."

The sense of smell of the merfolk is hundreds of times stronger than that of humans. Will quickly locked onto the direction of the smell, navigating while drooling.

Before long a small fishing boat came into view, and the smell came from that boat.

The Poseidon soon stopped beside the boat. It turned out to be a mobile oden stall. The owner was a middle-aged man with a mustache. He was shocked to see a boat as big as the Poseidon.

Leo and Charles were the first to jump off the boat and came to the oden stand: "Uncle, did you make the oden? We can smell the fragrance from several miles away."

As soon as Leo opened his mouth, the boss smiled. Praising his cooking skills was the greatest recognition of him as a person, so he warmly invited Leo and Charles to sit down.

"We have a few companions. Your boat is too small. Can you please come on board and serve us?"

The boss was a little embarrassed: "It's too troublesome. Look, there are so many ingredients besides kitchen utensils."

"It's okay uncle, then I'll let them come down to eat, Gloria, lower the lifeboat."

Soon everyone tasted the oden. Except for Will who was too big to occupy a boat alone, everyone else gathered around the soup pot. This unique way of dining was novel to his friends. Plus, the oden made by the boss was really delicious, so everyone's cheeks bulged like hamsters.

As a chef, Charles has a habit of asking about any food he hasn't tried before: "Uncle Yanzang, your oden is really good. Not only are all the ingredients specially processed, but even the soup base is specially made. I can taste the bonito and chicken bones, but there are a few other ingredients that I haven't tasted. Can you tell me?"

Uncle Yanzang was very open-minded. When he heard that Charles was interested in his recipe, he discussed it with Charles without stopping. Charles' cooking skills were definitely better than Yanzang's, so he also proposed many suggestions for improvement during the discussion. For a while, the two of them left everyone else aside.

The others didn't care either. There was plenty of food anyway, and even if they didn't have enough, they could grab some from their companions. So the scene was divided into two groups, one group was discussing their profession, and the other group was like a battlefield.

The harmonious atmosphere made everyone lower their vigilance, and no one noticed that a pirate ship appeared on the horizon.

The pirate ship was traveling very fast. Standing on the bow was a dark-skinned man wearing golden armor, who looked like a lion. He was suddenly covered with golden light and spit out a blue light wave in the direction of the Poseidon.

Roar! A sudden roar interrupted everyone, and the blue light wave parted the sea water, causing the oden boat to shake violently before it arrived.

"Damn! Where does the attack come from?" In a hurry, Leo could only hug Gloria and Victoria in one hand each, and Alfu jumped directly onto the Poseidon and waved his sword to block the light wave attack.

But what Ah Fu didn't expect was that this attack was not an energy attack, but a sound wave. The harsh noise broke the side of the ship and the small boat below was swallowed by the waves.

It took Leo a while to recover from the tinnitus. Seeing that Will had rescued Gloria, Charles and Uncle Yanzang who fell into the water, Leo felt relieved. After he let out a long sigh, he felt furious.

"Damn, are all the pirates in the East China Sea so brave now? Will activate the speedboat mode and chase after them."

Will, who was still stroking the Poseidon and crying secretly, suddenly became full of energy after hearing this.
