One Piece: Under the Throne

The Seventh Water City of the Grand Route, at this moment this city is like a small boat in a storm, and the whole city seems to be constantly rising and falling with the waves.

The lower town had been completely submerged, and residents were forced to move to the upper area. The streets were filled with panicked pedestrians, and the scene was extremely chaotic with wind and rain accompanied by crying and shouting.

"If there is anyone still on the lower floors, remind those who haven't been notified to move upwards immediately. The scale of Akula Ragna this year may be unprecedented in a century."

The shouts of the rescuers were drowned out by the wind and rain before they could reach far. However, the upper city area did not seem safe either, as strong winds damaged some roads connecting the central city area, and even residential buildings along the way were damaged.

Mr. Bingshan, the new mayor of the Water City, was organizing rescue efforts among residents. Many people were dragged out from under the collapsed houses. Thanks to everyone's efforts, not too many residents were killed.

Mr. Iceberg seemed to be injured as well, with blood oozing from his bandaged head.

"Mr. Mayor, please go back to the office and wait. You are injured now, and the storm is not good for your wound."

"Stop talking. I won't leave until the citizens are out of danger."

Suddenly, a staff member fell to the ground, staring at the distance with wide eyes: "What is that...what is that?"

There seemed to be a huge monster connecting the sea and the sky in the rain, surging towards the Water City. At this time, everyone had only one thought in their mind: We are finished!

"Mr. Iceberg, please take the sea train and leave the Water City as soon as possible. A tsunami of that size could easily engulf the city."

"If we are going to leave, let's leave together. Notify the station that all sea trains have started, and use the city broadcast to notify everyone to go to the station."

"But the train can't carry everyone."

"Everyone, squeeze into the carriage. If the carriage is full, sit on the roof. We can't abandon anyone."

Even if all the citizens of Water City were united and Mayor Bingshan was in command, they still seemed powerless in the face of a catastrophic tsunami. Seeing that the super-large tsunami was about to submerge Water City, and most of the residents had not yet evacuated, many people's spirits had completely collapsed.

"It's over. It's all over. No one can escape."

"Mom, Dad, where are you? Woo woo..."

"Has this day finally come? 800 years of water city, you have finally come to an end."

Whether crying, standing still, or facing it calmly, no matter how unwilling they are, they can only choose to accept it in the end. Everyone is waiting for death to come.

Just when everyone was in despair, a blue light suddenly appeared in the sky. It moved very quickly from far away and soon landed on the tallest building in the Water City.

The roaring sonic boom drowned out the sound of wind and rain, and was clearly heard by everyone.

Some sharp-eyed residents pointed to the sky in surprise and said, "Look what that is?" The arrival of the unknown object seemed to attract the attention of the desperate people, and then the news spread from one to ten, and then to a hundred, until finally everyone's eyes were focused on the top of the tallest building.

The object emitting blue light was exactly the Freedom Mech. The Freedom Mech exploded with 120% energy. The heat generated by the high-speed friction between the metal surface and the air burned the outer shell of the mech red.

The Freedom Mech returned to its figurine size, and Leo suddenly appeared in everyone's sight. Bingshan rubbed his eyes vigorously, and after repeated confirmation, he finally confirmed that the person who came was Leo, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and also the great benefactor of Tom's studio. Bingshan raised his head and shouted upwards, his hysterical roar seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Lord Leo, please save the residents of Water City, even if you can save just one more person."

Looking at the sad-looking Iceberg, Leo gave him a reassuring look. At this time, any words were powerless. Leo did not make any promises to Iceberg, but just stared at the tsunami that was sweeping over.

This scene is somewhat familiar. The big wave caused by Leo's development of the fruit ability is very similar to today. Leo put his fists at his waist and took the starting position of karate.

After a short period of accumulating power, a blue light suddenly appeared on the fist.

[Poseidon Flow: Ragnarok]

A straight punch was thrown, and the air in front of Leo seemed to be distorted for a moment, and then visible vibration ripples appeared.

This move was exactly the one he used to defeat the water gods back then. So many years have passed, and what he has to face today is an even more powerful tsunami, and Leo's strength is no longer the same as before.

Countless water droplets kept vibrating in the direction of Leo's fist, and finally gathered into a shock wave that accurately hit the tsunami. A huge fist mark first appeared on the surface of the tsunami, and then the surface began to sink, and the sink became deeper and deeper until it turned into a hole that was big enough to split the huge waves.

As everyone's jaws dropped, the water angel punched through the tsunami, completely putting an end to the water gods.

After a brief moment of surprise, the residents of the Water City all felt as if they had survived a disaster.

"Ha...hahaha, we...we'll do it!"

"The gods of water have been defeated. Long live the angel of water!"

The moment Akula Ragnar was split in half, the entire Water City was boiling. People, whether they knew each other or not, were hugging and crying on the streets. Some young girls even passionately kissed the men next to them. Everyone was expressing their inner excitement in their own way.

The only person who was different from the excited people in the city was Leo. Defeating the water gods was just a casual thing for him, and he did not come to the Water City to save it.

Leo jumped down from the huge fountain, and the excited Iceberg was already waiting for him below. Iceberg was so excited that he was incoherent, and he just held Leo's hands tightly to express his gratitude in this way.

"Okay, Iceberg, now is not the time to say thank you. Let's find a place where there is no one. I want to talk to you alone."

Leo's words stunned Bingshan at first, then he realized what Leo wanted to talk to him about, so he quickly took Leo back to the office, dispersed the bodyguards, walked over and sat down opposite Leo, looking at him expectantly.

Seeing the look on Bing Shen's face, Leo felt that there was no need for him to ask any more questions, but in order to confirm the details, he still asked, "Tell me about Mr. Tom's situation in detail."

Bingshan first organized his words, and then told Leo about recent events in detail: "It all started five days ago. Five days ago, the Straw Hat Pirates arrived in Water City and asked Carrera Company to build a new ship for them. After they paid the deposit, we also started to prepare. It was at this time that Teacher Tom met the Straw Hat Boy. The two seemed to have a good chat, and then the teacher decided that he would build a ship for the Straw Hat Pirates himself."

"But this incident became the fuse for the teacher's arrest. It turned out that the world's agents had been hiding in the Water City for many years. They first captured a woman from the Straw Hat Pirates, and then arrested Teacher Tom on the grounds of building a ship for the government's serious criminals. Of course, we would not agree to them taking Teacher Tom away, and then a war broke out between the two sides.

But the other party was too powerful, and they represented the World Government, so we failed."

Before Bingshan could finish his words, he felt a strong pressure that made him unable to breathe: "Leo, you..."

Leo's anger was not only because Tom was arrested by the World Government, but also because the Straw Hat Pirates had a woman captured by CP agents. Could it be that Aokiji had reported it, so that what should not have happened was back on track?

Robin's fate had already been changed. She had never been wanted since she was a child, and even the World Government didn't know about her before she joined the Straw Hat Pirates. But now she has become the target of CP9. Aokiji must have informed the government that she was a survivor of O'Hara.

Leo restrained his momentum and continued to ask Bingshan: "Who rescued people on Judicial Island?"

Iceberg was a little confused as to why Leo was so sure that someone would go to Judicial Island to rescue people. This didn't make sense no matter how he heard it, but Iceberg suppressed his doubts and continued, "Most of Carrera's crew members have gone, along with Fram and his men, and the rest are the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Fram's younger brother?" Leo accurately grasped the doubts in the iceberg's words. Frankie's fate in this life has also changed. Because Mr. Tom was found not guilty, he did not experience the frame-up of government agents at all, let alone change his name to Frankie. He has been learning from Tom all these years, so how could he have the opportunity to recruit younger brothers?

Bingshan obviously didn't expect Leo to be interested in his junior's group of unreliable subordinates: "They are a group of homeless young people. Maybe they have the same experience as them, which won Flam's sympathy. So he organized that group of people to help in the teacher's studio."

Speaking of this, Bingshan chuckled: "I don't know what's wrong with Fram. He actually regards himself as the leader of that group. In his spare time, he also led them to solve many pirate harassment incidents."

Maybe it was destined, just like you, the iceberg, could become the mayor of Water City. Leo thought to himself, and suddenly he felt powerless. Could it be that his little butterfly was not strong enough, so the storm he created was corrected by the world line?

From Crocodile to Eneel, and then to several events that happened in Water City, Leo began to be wary of this world, as if there was an invisible hand manipulating everyone's fate.

Leo cursed in his heart, damn, even if there really is a God, He can manipulate everyone and cannot affect me. After all, I am a time traveler.

Now is not the time to dwell on these things. Leo said to Bingshan in a serious tone, "Bingshan, please do me a favor and spread the news that I saved the Water City. This must be published in the newspaper tomorrow. I need this to forge an alibi."

"You do?"

"Yes, I will rescue Mr. Tom myself. After I leave, you will announce to the public that the Water Angel was seriously injured after defeating the Water Gods and needs to rest well. You only need to cover it up for me for one day."

"Okay, no problem. Lord Leo, just go ahead and do it. I'll take care of everything here."

After things were confirmed, Leo planned to quietly leave the Water City. Before leaving, Leo suddenly asked Bingshan: "Bingshan, why did you call me adult when we met this time? I remember you didn't do that when we were kids."

Bingshan was also stunned when he heard this. He seemed to have not realized it until Leo said it.

"Leo, you've changed a lot. I subconsciously become cautious in front of you. Maybe this is the aura of a superior."

After so many years, I realized that I have changed so much in the eyes of others.

Leo chuckled and left the Water City.
