One Piece: Under the Throne

The gathering place was not far from the crater, and Leo and his companions quickly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

From a closer look, this is a crater made entirely of rock. At the foot of the mountain, we met Uncle Yanzo. Without waiting for Leo to say hello, Uncle Yanzo pulled Tobio's ear and began to scold him. It turned out that Tobio was Uncle Yanzo's son. He thought his father's oden cooking was useless, so he ran away to look for treasure.

It's just a story about a naughty kid who rebelled and ran away from home, which is nothing unusual on the sea.

The unexpected surprise came from Uncle Yanzang. It turned out that he and Wu Nan were childhood friends. Wu Nan had invited him before going to sea. Uncle Yanzang said that Wu Nan was a very ambitious person. His father had dug gold mines for a lifetime and had accumulated gold as big as beans.

This made Wu Nan feel that the world was unfair, so he vowed to go out to sea and rob all the bad guys of their gold. Uncle Yan Zang rejected Wu Nan, and then the two had an argument on the cliff, and they both fell off the cliff during the fight. Fortunately, Wu Nan hung the pirate flag he made for himself on the branch, but unfortunately the flag could not withstand the weight of the two.

Seeing that the flag was about to be torn, Uncle Yanzang took the initiative to let go, and he chose to leave the chance of survival to his friend. Finally, while Uncle Yanzang was recovering from his injury, Wu Nan went out to sea with his ambition.

"So the legend of Wu Nan is true. Did he really steal countless gold?"

Uncle Yanzang answered affirmatively: "It is true. I heard that his fleet was loaded with gold, so much that it could light up the sea at night."

"Oh! How amazing." Everyone who was listening to the story exclaimed in unison.

But we couldn't determine the location of the treasure just by listening to the story. Everyone was worried when they saw the stone mountain in front of them.

"Maybe Wu Nan buried the treasure on the top of the mountain." Leo said uncertainly.

Victoria said in disbelief: "How could it be buried in such an obvious place?"

"You'll know after you go up and take a look."

Then, everyone was lifted to the top of the mountain by several thick vines.

"Look, there's a little house!"

"What? The captain was right. Is this how fellow pirate captains think?"

"Hey! Stop talking nonsense. I'm not a simple-minded guy like Wu Nan." Leo protested.

The room was very old and looked like it hadn't been maintained for more than ten years. The room was empty except for a fireplace.

This disappointed the originally excited Tobio. At this moment, Leo spoke again: "Maybe there is a mechanism on the fireplace. Wu Nan used the fireplace to cover up the treasure."

Victoria questioned again: "Unless Wu Nan is a fool, the fireplace is so obvious..."

Before Victoria could finish her words, Alfu pushed open the fireplace and saw a message on the wall saying the treasure was underneath.

Everyone:...

"As expected, all those who can be captains are idiots, right?" Victoria was completely convinced and nodded in approval of Leo.

"Asshole, I'll say it again, I'm not a fool like Wu Nan."

Everyone went down the secret passage, and there were only two small rooms less than ten square meters under the secret passage. There was no glittering gold in the room, only a skeleton wearing a captain's uniform sitting on a chair.

Uncle Yanzang's eyes moistened slightly: "It seems that this is Wu Nan, and next to him is the pirate flag from that year."

Sure enough, there was a pirate flag standing next to the chair, and there were traces of re-stitching on the flag.

There is also a message from Wu Nan on the wall of the room. He said that after he had robbed enough gold, he felt bored. Yan Zang was right. Gold is no different from stone. It will neither cry nor laugh.

But Wunan did not regret it, because the experience of adventuring at sea with his companions was his greatest wealth. Finally, Wunan asked the treasure hunters who came here not to destroy this place, because this was his own personal treasure.

Seeing this, everyone fell silent. No matter how powerful a pirate was in his life, his ending would be miserable. Even if he robbed a lot of treasures, in the end, only those precious memories would accompany him.

Victoria suddenly asked with some sadness: "Leo, does it mean that those who venture out to sea are destined to end in tragedy?"

Pfft!

An inappropriate laugh rang out in the room: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help it. Wu Nan is quite arrogant."

Tobio shouted at Leo angrily when he saw him mocking his idol.

"What's wrong with you? Why are you mocking Wu Nan?"

Leo ignored Tobio's temper and answered Victoria's question: "Not everyone's adventure at sea ends in tragedy. People with strength can travel to every corner of the world and return home safely, so strength is the foundation of everything.

As for Wu Nan, he said that adventures are precious, which is actually ridiculous. After all, most of Wu Nan's gold was robbed, which is no different from the normal life of a pirate, and the life of a pirate who burns, kills, and plunders is not something to be proud of. "

"I say Wu Nan is arrogant because he refused to admit it until his death. What he cherished most was actually his friendship with Uncle Yanzang. His words that there is no difference between gold and stone and the flag placed next to his chair can prove it."

For a moment, everyone was speechless, especially Tobio. Leo's words hit him the hardest, so he whispered to Leo: "Is my dream wrong? But I really don't want to make oden for the rest of my life."

Leo smiled and touched Tobio's head. "No, you are right. The sea will not reject everyone who throws himself into its arms, and no one should deny a boy's yearning for freedom. But what kind of person you want to be and what you can do after going out to sea is something you have to think about carefully."

Leo smiled again halfway through his speech: "An elder once advised my parents in this way. Tobio, you still have a long time to think about it. After all, with your current ability, you can't even leave the East China Sea. If you still have this dream when you are 17, then be brave and do it."

After Uncle Yanzang finished paying tribute to his best friend, the group planned to leave.

Leo said in a bored tone, "Alas! The treasure hunt was too simple, and the treasure is still an empty shell. It was all in vain. Uncle Yanzang, aren't you going to take the pirate flag with you?"

Yan Zang shook his head and said, "Let's leave that flag to Wu Nan. After all, it symbolizes Wu Nan's ambition and our friendship."

Back on the ground again, Victoria stretched her body and said, "It seems that I won. Sister Gloria and the others have returned to the meeting point."

Suddenly, a flare was launched from the other side of the island.

Everyone:...

"No way, could it be that Gloria has also discovered it?"

I thought the treasure hunt was over, but now I see the flares again, and it turns out there are new surprises.

Leo didn't bother to explain to everyone. He grabbed Uncle Yanzang and flew over. It was the first time for the simple middle-aged man to go to the sky. He disappeared from everyone's sight with a series of screams.

In a blink of an eye, Leo reunited with Gloria and the other four. He put the salt aside and let him spit it out by himself, and then asked about their group's findings.

In fact, Leo could tell without asking that Gloria's little head was almost tilted to the sky.

"Ahahahaha, what's the point for Victoria to read so many books? She's finally outsmarted by me intellectually. Let's see if she dares to call me stupid again in the future."

Seeing her arrogant look, Leo also became interested: "You didn't really find gold?"

Hearing this, the four of them all laughed like villains.

"Of course, and there's a lot of it! Wu Nan actually melted the gold into large chunks and hid them deep in the floor. If Will hadn't discovered that there was a problem with the hardness of the ground, we wouldn't have thought of digging down."

Could it be that I had estimated it wrong? Leo's first reaction was to question his own judgment. Wu Nan was a good troublemaker. Could it be that Wu Nan was using his tomb to mislead treasure hunters in order to hide the real treasure?

If this is the case, Leo will look up to Unan, as this is in line with the style of a great pirate.

Soon another group of people arrived. Seeing Gloria's arrogant look, Victoria curled her lips and turned her head to one side in a proud manner.

At the same time, Leo also asked Will to lead the way and see what Wu Nan's treasure looked like.

Walking into the palace, it was also empty. Leo believed that treasure hunters would be fooled if they only relied on the treasure map.

Whichever location is discovered first, they will eventually be led to Wu Nan's tomb and be misled.

If you come here first and find the palace is empty, you will definitely question your guess, because the blurred writing behind the whale's tail on the treasure map must have been made by Wu Nan in advance.

When the treasure hunter finds that his guess is wrong, he will definitely check the whale statue, and find that the tail of the fish is facing north. Then, in that order, he will discover the cabin, the secret passage, and finally Unan's tomb. Combined with the message in the tomb, the treasure hunter will be more convinced that the Unan treasure is just a scam.

This emotional process from disappointment to surprise and finally disappointment is very demoralizing. Moreover, in this process, Wu Nan always misleads the treasure hunter, making him think that he has discovered the secret of the treasure map, thereby deepening his self-affirmation.

It was the same when I went to the crater first. I saw Wu Nan's message there, and when I came to check out the white palace, I felt lucky that I might just take a look and see if the treasure was there. If the treasure hunters were faced with an empty palace, they would only feel stupid and wonder if there was any treasure.

After figuring out the secret of the treasure, Leo smiled disdainfully. As expected, most pirates still love treasure. Maybe Unan's feelings about the past were somewhat true, but he did not really regard gold as stone.

There is another flaw that proves Wu Nan's idea, which is the last message in the tomb: "Please do not destroy this place." Because the tomb must have been destroyed, the closed loop of misleading thinking is interrupted.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to dig out the gold. Wu Nan was worthy of being called the gold thief. The amount of gold he harvested this time was no less than that of the Sky Island.

After taking out all the gold, Leo wanted to give some to Yanzang, but he refused. Yanzang was in a complicated mood at the moment. He would rather not discover the real secret of the treasure and let his memory stay in that tomb.

Tobio's admiration for Wunan completely collapsed. He asked Leo a very interesting question: "Brother Leo, is it true that gold is like stone, it can neither cry nor laugh? For Wunan, is memory more precious or gold more precious?"

"Tobio, you don't have to worry about his thoughts. You need to go out to sea and find the answer to the question yourself. As for gold being the same as stone, that sentence is just for show. Wunan once had a lot of gold, so he said that gold is the same as stone, just like when a rich person says he doesn't like money.

If you don't believe me, ask Uncle Yanzang whether he likes the shining golden stone or the pot of oden. "

Tobio: ...
