One Piece: Under the Throne

"The Third Alliance at Sea? You want to cause trouble? But I like it."

When Doflamingo first heard the name of this plan, he was stunned at first, then he showed a sinister smile.

Leo played with the wine glass in his hand, and said calmly as if stating a fact: "The humiliating title of Shichibukai should be abolished. No one would be willing to kneel under the throne forever, so I will change the king into seven kings. This is the prototype of my third alliance."

"How are you going to deal with the World Government? The Five Elders will not allow the Shichibukai to escape their control.

"So what we need to do is to establish a stable rear base for ourselves before we fall out with the World Government. Now the West Sea is under my control, and Dressrosa is in a good position to control the North Sea. I can provide you with the technology to cross the Calm Belt."

Dover suddenly sneered: "Ha! It would be crazy to dare to reach out to the Five Elders of the Four Seas. When the time comes, we will only be greeted with a ruthless blow."

"I'm not asking you to face it alone. Don't forget that there is an ambitious guy in the North Sea. And you don't have to worry about the strong men in the government, because they can't concentrate their forces. A great military strategist once said, "When the enemy advances, I retreat; when the enemy stays, I harass; when the enemy is tired, I attack; when the enemy retreats, I pursue." Following this strategy, we can erode the power of the World Government.

After the war begins, as long as we can withstand the first few waves, those member states will have different ideas. After all, no one likes to pay the sky-high gold. Even if the nobles of those countries still stand firmly on the side of the World Government, the Revolutionary Army will help us deal with them. By then, the world situation will be reshuffled, and all the ambitious people will jump out. Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido, and the king of the dark world, each of them is not a fuel-saving lamp. Then our chance will come."

"Ffufufu, aren't you the most ambitious person? This kind of plan cannot be completed in a short time. How many years have you been planning for? Ten years or twenty years?"

Hearing this, Leo fell silent. In fact, Leo had no ambition to dominate the world. He wanted to avenge his parents, find Mr. Allen, and protect those who had helped him. In order to achieve these goals, it was inevitable for him to embark on the path of resistance, because the root of all problems was the world government headed by the Celestial Dragons.

Leo did not directly answer Dover's question, but continued, "The fishmen can help us control the Calm Belt and turn it into the Navy's graveyard. Even if we cannot defeat them, we still have the Float-Float Fruit as our best protection. We can even take Dressrosa with us if we want to escape. If you still don't dare to do it despite these conditions, I advise you to completely surrender to Conquest and be a king from now on. So what is your answer?"

"Fufufufu, you're not sincere enough to ask me to help you share the firepower."

"Humph! You greedy fellow, well, since I have a business, I'll take you with me."

"Oh? What kind of business?"

……

After a while, Leo and Doflamingo clinked their glasses and said, "Happy cooperation, buddy."

"Fffffffff, I also want to see what kind of changes the storm of the new era can bring to the world."

After the matter was settled, Leo was about to leave. Before leaving, Leo suddenly spoke to Doflamingo and reminded him, "As an ally, I have to remind you that although the ability of the Childlike Fun Fruit is powerful, if you use it as the basis for development, you will definitely fail miserably."

Hearing this, Doflamingo's face darkened instantly. He really knew...

After playing in Dressrosa for another three days, Leo and his crew continued their journey, but when they left, there was a new crew member.

Gulliver, a dwarf warrior and user of the Injection Fruit ability, travels with Leo as a pioneer to the Dream Island.

Leo's attitude towards the Dwarfs of Greenbit is different from that towards Doflamingo. The former are his close friends, while the latter are just a combination of interests. So Leo told the Dwarfs about Sky Island and promised them that Greenbit Island could be included in them in the future.

After Gulliver boarded the ship, he was curious about everything and asked questions non-stop. Leo was annoyed by the noise and had to assign him to Gloria as a medical assistant and become the male nurse on the ship.

……

"Will, prepare to return to Paradise Sea, target Long Ring Island."

"Hmm? Leo, aren't we going to look for the Seven Star Sword? Why are we going to Long Ring Island?"

"I don't know the exact location of Askaka Island. I can only go to Changhuan Island to look for information."

The person who was happiest when talking about the Seven Star Sword was Gloria. She had tried to master the magic energy herself but made no progress, so she could only place her hopes on the magic sword.

The Poseidon slowly took off, but Leo chose to fly directly over the Red Earth Continent and return to the first half of the Grand Line.

As the ship was moving, a news bird suddenly landed on the side of the ship, staring at Leo with its cunning eyes.

Ding! The news bird skillfully caught the gold coin, dropped the newspaper and left.

"Tsk! That damn bastard Morgans, why does he always use newspapers to pass on information? The reason why secrets are precious is that they cannot be known by too many people."

Alfu handed the newspaper to Leo: "You asked a person who always wants to report big news to keep it a secret. Isn't that more painful than killing him?"

"Hmph!" Leo snorted and opened the newspaper.

After just one look, Leo jumped up from the recliner: "Ace was arrested?"

"Nani x8?"

Hearing this, everyone gathered around. The front page of the newspaper read [Darkness Devours the Scorching Sun, Emperor Yan Falls on Banaro Island].

After reading the newspaper, Gloria said with some dissatisfaction: "What's the matter, Captain? Isn't it just that Ace was defeated? You were so shocked that I thought he was really captured by the navy."

Will was a little curious and asked, "That guy named Blackbeard isn't one of Dad's crew members. Why would he fight with Ace?"

The angriest person among all was Fuku. As Ace's physical training instructor, he was very annoyed at the defeat of his worthless apprentice: "It doesn't matter if he is Blackbeard or Graybeard, how could Ace be defeated by such a nobody? It's really embarrassing for us."

Leo was frowning, thinking that no one knew that Ace was trained by us, and Blackbeard was not just a small fry.

Then Leo was helpless again. Ace still couldn't escape the fate of being defeated and captured. It seems that the war at the top is not far away. Hey! Blackbeard Teach, the Dark-Dark Fruit...

Leo couldn't explain to everyone the chain reaction this incident would cause, so he had to give the order directly.

"Brothers, the storm is coming, and we need to be prepared. Will, you escort Victoria to see Daddy and bring the Healing Tears. The rest of you will keep your goal and continue to look for clues to the Seven Star Sword."

Just as Leo finished speaking, the Den Den Mushi suddenly rang, Bulu Bulu: "Hello, please let Shichibu Shui Tanshi answer the phone."

"I'm Leo."

"Hello, Lord Water Angel, I am conveying the order of the World Government to summon all the Seven Warlords of the Sea to Marinford for a round table meeting."

"Okay, I'll be there on time."

Kaga.

Here it comes, another famous scene from the world of pirates, and where does Leo fit in this picture?

After hanging up the phone, Leo turned to look at his companions and said, "It looks like we have to split up into three groups. I have to go to the Navy Headquarters for a meeting. Ah Fu, you lead the rest of the group to look for the Seven Star Sword. After you get the information, wait for us on Changhuan Island."

"Victoria, come here and tell me this after you meet Whitebeard..."

……

A few days later, Will and Victoria found the whereabouts of the Moby Dick, and finally caught up with the giant ship after speeding all the way.

At this time, the Moby Dick was resting on the sea, and there was a small boat next to it that was rising and falling with the waves.

"Are there any guests visiting Dad?" Will tied the ropes and looked at the boat.

"They may not be guests. There are always some reckless newcomers who want to challenge the Four Emperors. Maybe they are here to die."

After mooring the boat, Will climbed onto the Moby Dick carrying Victoria on his back. After greeting several pirates skillfully, he was brought to Whitebeard.

The scene on the deck was a bit strange. Whitebeard was sitting in the main seat drinking, and the pirates around him were leaning against the side of the ship and chatting leisurely. In the middle, there was a red-haired guy kneeling on the deck, packing something and chattering all the time.

"How dare you treat Boss Lai's letter like this? My boss has red hair!"

Whitebeard raised his head and took a big sip of wine: "I am Whitebeard, go back and ask that brat to come here in person with the gift."

Suddenly Whitebeard glanced towards the bow and laughed out loud: "Gulala, what happened today? Everyone is so rude. Another little fellow who thinks he has grown wings comes to visit me."

Will and Victoria passed by the panicked Rockstar and stood in the same position.

"Does that little brat Leo want to show off to me? Why did I send you two here?"

Victoria blinked her cute big eyes and said, "The bastard captain asked me to come here to inform you that Ace might be sent to the navy if he loses the battle."

As soon as the words fell, the originally noisy deck suddenly became quiet. Whitebeard had a gloomy face and the wine glass in his hand was crushed into pieces.

"Tell Leo I'm grateful for the information. The boys are ready to set sail to bring back your brothers!"

"Wait a minute." Victoria quickly spoke out to stop him.

"Little Victoria, there is nothing for you to do here. You can go back."

"Dad, Leo has something to tell you. You must be furious, stubborn old man, and want to rescue Ace immediately. When you heard this news, Ace was already in Impel Down. Do you want to face the three violent government agencies alone?"

Hearing this, Whitebeard was silent: "What is Leo's plan?"

Victoria pointed a finger at his chin and tilted his head and said, "The captain didn't say anything. He just asked me to heal your old injury."

Whitebeard was so angry that he laughed: "Gulala, that snotty-nosed brat is so arrogant now, who does he think I am? It seems that he thinks there will be a big battle between me and the navy. Marco notified everyone to prepare for the war."

On the other side, Leo was sailing alone on the sea in a small boat. The boat was made by Alfu in imitation of Hawkeye's coffin boat. There were no sails or oars on the boat, and it was moved entirely by the sea water.

A day later, the outline of the naval headquarters gradually became clear.
