One Piece: Under the Throne

Dressrosa King's Highlands.

The veins on Doflamingo's forehead were throbbing uncontrollably at this moment, and Leo's call of "brother" was simply a mockery of him.

On the other hand, Leo was playing with the wine glass in his hand with great interest.

After calming down, Dover said with a smile, "Fffffffff, what brought the Water Angel here? Why didn't you inform me in advance so that I could prepare some entertainment."

Leo looked down at the capital and said, "Dover, you are still so hospitable. You have governed this country well. I often hear the name of the Kingdom of Love and Passion in Paradise."

"It is also thanks to you, the Water Angel, that Dressrosa has become so prosperous. I have to thank you for your kindness back then."

There was obvious sting in Dover's words, and he would not easily forget the humiliation he had suffered in person.

Leo put away his smile upon hearing this and sighed helplessly: "You are really stingy, Dover. Let's stop the boring probing here. We both know each other well. This time I came here to discuss cooperation with you."

"Ha! You, the Water Angel, are going to find someone to cooperate with you one day? In that case, please go back, because I don't agree with anything you say."

Leo ignored Dover and asked him a question he didn't want to answer: "What was your childhood like, Dover?"

Bang! Doflamingo crushed the red wine glass directly: "Water Angel, do you want to die?"

Leo continued to ignore Dover: "The young master of the Celestial Dragon who should have been pampered was turned back into a mortal because of a decision made by his father. After returning to the underworld, the young master continued to be arrogant, but after losing his identity as a Celestial Dragon, he became the target of everyone's condemnation..."

Dover exuded a dangerous aura: "Shut up..."

"His mother died on the way to escape. He experienced hunger for the first time and almost died at the hands of those he regarded as ants. Finally, the young master exploded. He actually killed his own father and returned to the Holy Land with his father's head to beg for return. But what the young master didn't expect was that he was rejected by his compatriots. From then on, he was no longer a Tianlong, but one of the ants he despised..."

Dover suddenly jumped up, and five transparent silk threads slashed towards Leo as he swung his hand.

But Will on the side was faster than Dover. He dodged in front of Leo and punched Dover.

Feeling the force coming from his palm, Dover's eyes fixed, and then his body flew backwards until he hit the wall and created a crack, and then he stabilized his body.

"Young Master has begun to hate this world since then, especially those high and mighty Tianlong people. Since I can't get them, I'd better destroy them..."

Leo's voice was like the devil's whisper, constantly stimulating Dover's eardrums. Suddenly, the entire room from the ceiling to the walls to the floor turned into lines. At this moment, Dover's murderous intent almost solidified.

Leo continued to talk to himself as if nothing had happened: "So, Dover, do you think that young master is willing to cooperate with me and pull God off the throne together?"

The story ended, and Leo turned his head and looked at Dover with a gentle expression, not caring at all about the silk thread that stopped a few centimeters away from the tip of his nose.

"Fu! Fufufu... Fufufufu, I heard something. Angel of Water, I misunderstood you. You came all the way here just to make me laugh. I'm dying of laughter."

Looking at Doflamingo who looked like a madman, Leo's mouth curled up and then he laughed with him.

"Hahahaha, Dover, I told you we are buddies. You found such a silly joke funny."

"After listening to your story, I also have a question. How stupid can one be to be so arrogant as to believe that an ant can shake a tree?"

"Tsk, tsk, buddy, I underestimated your knowledge. You should read more books when you have time. Even children know that it is common for trees in the deep forest to fall down due to ants. And you have been sailing on the sea for so long. Don't you know that even a strong tree like Adam will inevitably become a material?"

Hearing this, Dover sneered: "Ha! Don't be so self-righteous. I have money and reputation now, and I am the ruler of a country. Even if I am not a celestial dragon, so what? In my kingdom, I am a god."

"Even true gods have to be careful of being spied on, let alone a false god like you. Maybe some big shots will be interested in Dressrosa and come to see it one day. Dov, do you want to kneel down to those pigs?"

After understanding Leo's intention, Dover calmed down completely. He picked up the chair and sat down opposite Leo again: "Ignorance is really fearless. The horror of the World Government is beyond your imagination. I will not bring my family to play the iceberg game with you."

Leo suddenly gave Dover a look of contempt: "Do you know who among the Seven Warlords of the Sea is the least capable of accomplishing anything?"

"You don't mean to say it's me?"

"No! The most useless among the seven of us is that guy Moria, because not only is he weak, but his brain is not very good. He hides in the Devil's Triangle all day long, dreaming of revenge."

"Although you are not the last one, you are only slightly better than Moria."

Dover was so angry that he laughed: "Comparing me with that loser Moria? Water Angel, your mouth is as stinky as ever."

"Don't be unconvinced. You are better than Moria because he is too weak. But he has not lost the courage to seek revenge. You hate the Celestial Dragons to death but only dare to talk about it. You are the one who is most afraid of death among the seven of us. You don't even have the courage to put your name on the sea. What great things can you achieve?"

"You..." Doflamingo was speechless. He could refute Leo, but he couldn't deceive himself. Dov had to admit that Leo was right. He was just a cautious coward.

This was the fact that Dover had buried deep in his heart and had always been unwilling to face. Now that it had been ruthlessly exposed by Leo, Dover felt like he had no place to vent his anger.

So he had to cover up his embarrassment by mocking Leo: "You are a coward to me, but you, Leo, are a strong man who dares to fight to the death. Then I will wait for the day when you overthrow the World Government. Fffff, I hope you will not let me down."

Leo gave Dover an idiotic look again. "What's wrong with a kid? You're still trying to provoke me. I'm confident, not conceited. Otherwise, why would I waste so much time talking to you?"

"Fuffuff, I'm sorry to disappoint you. Even if we join forces, we can't be a match for the World Government. I won't do anything that I know is uncertain."

Leo suddenly fell silent. He was thinking about how to lure Dover into the game. Unlike the Empress, he didn't care even if Dressrosa was destroyed. At most, he could hide in the underground world again. So when negotiating with him, he had to not only paint a big enough pie, but also maintain appropriate deterrence.

Suddenly Leo had a good idea: "Dover, it seems that I can't convince you today, why don't we play a game."

"Oh, what game is so powerful that it can change my mind?"

"Without me making a move, I will show you my three trump cards. If none of these three trump cards can impress you, I will leave Dressrosa immediately and never set foot on this land again."

"Fffffffff, interesting! I agree."

……

After leaving the palace, Leo took Will to wander around Dressrosa until dark before returning to Greenbit.

When I returned to the Kingdom of Dwarfs, I happened to see my companions and the Dwarfs having a banquet.

"Leo, you're back. How was your talk with Dover? Is that guy still so annoying? Did you beat him up?"

The friends surrounded Leo and Will and asked them about what happened during the day. Leo just briefly talked about the meeting with Dover, but did not explain the game of three cards.

Victoria puffed her cheeks and complained, "What? You kept it a secret from us."

"Hehe, life always has to have some mystery, but this matter requires the help of each of you, and the mystery will be revealed one by one."

After hearing this, everyone stopped worrying about the negotiations with Dover and sang and danced and had fun until dawn.

The next morning, Leo was awakened by a shaking.

"Leo wake up, it's almost noon. Are you going to see Doflamingo?"

"Ah? It's noon already. It's just in time. Let's set off now. Hey! Charles, you don't have to save any food for Will and me. We'll eat at the palace today."

"OK! If you come across any special delicacies, remember to pack one and bring it back."

"Okay, everyone is free to do whatever they want in the afternoon. If you go to Dressrosa, don't get into conflict with the Don Quixote family for now."

After giving the order, Leo and Will set off for the palace.

Today, Monet led the way for them again. When they arrived at the reception room again, Leo saw Dover, who was waiting impatiently.

"Water Angel you bastard, you're late."

"Don't worry about these details. It's noon now. You probably haven't eaten yet. Why don't we have lunch together?"

Damn it, look at how shameless they are. They are clearly in a life-and-death situation, but they have the nerve to come to the enemy headquarters to eat for free? Dover suppressed his physical discomfort and ordered his men to prepare a banquet.

After a while, Dover and Leo sat opposite each other in the banquet hall. As the host, Dover did not sit in the main seat today. He wanted to see what Leo could do to satisfy his appetite.

Will and Torrepol were also there, and Will had an aggrieved expression on his face while waiting for the meal.

"What's wrong with you, Will? We should be happy when someone treats us to a meal."

Will first looked at Leo with resentment, then turned his head and stared at Torrebol's snot that was almost sticking to his clothes. His throat moved unconsciously and he felt unwell.

One after another sumptuous dishes were soon served on the table. Dressrosa is a tourist country with unique food. Looking at the food with unique national characteristics, Leo felt his appetite whetted.

"Wow! This rose grilled eel is great, and this hot and spicy mullet stewed noodles, Dover, you should try it too."

Doflamingo was feeling extremely awkward at the moment, and replied with a cold face: "I don't eat spicy food, and didn't your mother teach you not to talk while eating?"

Leo seemed not to have heard him. He picked out all the peppers and pushed the mullet stew noodles in front of Dover.

"Mad, I don't eat mullet either!"

Leo gave him a difficult look and was about to pick out the mullet as well.

Dover felt his temples throbbing again. "Stop! Didn't you say you would show me your trump card today? Show me what it is."

Slurp! Leo finished the last noodle, wiped his mouth and asked a strange question: "Dover, guess what the weather is like today? If you guess it right, I'll show you my trump card."

Dover held back his anger: "You... huh~ sunny day."

"No, guess again!"

"rain."

"Tsk, that's not right, but it's close."

"I'm not going to guess anymore. You can talk or not. Just finish eating and get out of here."

Leo pointed to the sea calmly and said, "An island will fall from the sky today."

Dover felt so stupid that he would play a guessing game with this idiot. "Fufufu, the Water Angel game is over. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. What about islands falling from the sky? If that's true, I'll take this plate of mullet noodles and the plate..."

Dover was interrupted by a loud noise before he could finish his words. Following Leo's finger, he saw a small island appearing there, and then several more small islands fell from the sky.

The sudden loud noise made Dressrosa quiet in an instant, and everyone who saw it was shocked.

Doflamingo was the same. Suddenly he thought of something and looked at Leo in disbelief. He gritted his teeth and whispered, "Shiki the Golden Lion? The Float-Float Fruit?"

Leo did not answer. He took off his napkin and was about to leave with Will, who had not eaten anything. Before leaving the banquet hall, Leo suddenly turned back and pointed at the plate of mullet stewed noodles with the pepper picked out on the table: "Remember to eat it all."
