One Piece: Under the Throne

A few days later, the Poseidon sailed into the naval base in Shampoo and Politics. Under the awestruck gazes of the navy, Leo and his companions slowly stepped off the ship.

Victoria played with the hem of her skirt and said nonchalantly, "Captain, aren't you afraid of provoking the bottom line of the government officials by coming to Shampoo?"

"It's not that serious! Just treat it as a way to relax. Of course, we should still avoid some stupid pigs if possible. After all, it's not the right time yet..."

Before Leo could finish his words, Alfu interrupted him: "Captain, please be careful with your words. It's really rude to always mention pigs."

Leo smiled and replied, "Sorry, sorry, let's not talk about these disappointing topics. Just enjoy yourself in the next few days."

"Great! Who wants to go to Shampoo & Magic?" Upon hearing that she could move freely, Gloria suddenly became excited. Wearing a maid skirt, she spun around excitedly like a dancing butterfly.

"I go!"

"And I!"

"I am coming too!"

"Count me in!"

As soon as Gloria finished speaking, four voices rang out. They were Victoria, Alfu, the Prime Minister, and Fleg.

"I won't go. After all, those fans are too crazy!" Gloria exudes a lazy temperament and her words are full of helplessness. As a world-class superstar, wherever Gloria appears, the streets are always deserted.

"Come on, Gloria, you can change your clothes now." Gloria pulled Gloria's hand and said coquettishly.

"That's right, can't you just change your clothes?" Yasuo agreed.

"Yeah, we haven't hung out together for a long time." Alistar said.

"Okay, okay, there's really nothing I can do about you." Gloria smiled helplessly, but finally agreed.

So, the group set off towards Chambord Park in a mighty procession.

Those who like to have fun have left, leaving only those who like to pretend. When it comes to pretending, time, place and people are very important. Only when you start the performance at the right time and place and find a good audience can you achieve good results.

Obviously, Leo was a master of pretense at the king level, while Alfred and Charles were slightly inferior. However, due to Leo's influence over the years, they were able to reach the gold level.

"Well, the noisy guys are gone, it's time for us to go meet some old friends."

Alfu and Charles looked at Leo in surprise. They seemed to have never heard that Leo had any acquaintances in Shampoo.

Even though they have traveled to many places over the years, they have rarely set foot in Shampoo and at most regard it as a hunting ground for pirates.

The three of them walked towards the human auction house, but Leo was not interested in going there. When they arrived not far from the auction house, he stopped.

Suddenly, an incomparable powerful aura enveloped an area with a diameter of more than a kilometer. Before the pedestrians on the street could even figure out what was happening, they fell down like wheat blown down by the wind. And this powerful domineering aura naturally affected the auction house. The auction site, which was originally bustling and noisy, suddenly became silent.

"Hey, hey, hey, Leo, you are a bit boring. If you can't stand the human auction, just destroy it. What is this? A prank?" Charles looked at his captain with some disgust. Obviously he didn't understand Leo's approach.

"Tsk! I just came to say hello to some unscrupulous old bastard. Well, let's go and take you to see the beautiful lady."

"Captain, I apologize for the offense just now. By the way, the beauty here...is she hot?" Upon hearing this, Charles' face changed instantly, acting the role of a lackey to the fullest.

"Ahem, Leo is so rude. We are serious people. We should rescue those women who are stuck in the quagmire with the purpose of criticism."

"Ha! Okay, come with me." Leo laughed secretly in his heart, hoping that Xia Qi would suit your taste.

After leaving the auction house area and arriving at the border of the illegal area, Leo's mouth corners began to curl up unconsciously as he looked at the tavern on the hillside.

"This is it."

"Shaqi's rip-off Bar? x2"

Looking at the sign in front of them, Alfu and Charles looked at Leo with a somewhat strange look in their eyes. This store must be a shady one no matter how you look at it.

Before they could enter, the door of the tavern was violently pushed open and a strong man flew out.

Alfu and Charles' eyes looked even stranger, as if to say, see, this is what happens when you're blackmailed.

"Xia Qi, I'm busy. I haven't seen you for a long time. How is business?" Leo greeted warmly as if he was home.

Ah Fu wanted to hold Leo back, but after a slight hesitation, Leo walked in.

"Leo, why don't we go to another one? I think the one at the corner of the alley is pretty good... Wow!!!"

Ah Fu changed his tone before he finished his sentence, and it seemed that Xia Qi had developed his aesthetic taste, for the moment he saw him, Ah Fu suddenly became serious.

"Beautiful lady, do you need any help? I am also confident in torture."

“Hehehe, I dare not trouble Lord Sword Saint of Holy Light.”

"Why are you so polite to me?"

Charles stared at Ah Fu with a look of ashamed disdain. Seeing that he was still ready to speak, he quickly squeezed to the front of the line and shouted indignantly, "Who is the boss? I want to challenge you."

Leo: “…”

You two bastards have brought shame to me.

Soon, Leo, Shaqi and four others were the only ones left in the store.

Xia Qi smiled and served the three people a glass of rum: "The bragging kid back then is now old enough to drink."

Leo picked up the wine glass and took a sip and smiled: "Yes, time flies. I haven't seen you for more than ten years. You are still as beautiful as ever. Time doesn't seem to have left any traces on you."

"You were a little brat back then, but now you are old enough to fall in love. However, no matter how sweet you were, you chose the wrong person. But you really fulfilled your promise back then, and now you are a big shot known to everyone on the sea."

"How old is this lady?" Charles was as foul-mouthed as ever, and his words made veins appear on the forehead of Xia Qi, who was always very stylish and good at kung fu.

Ah Fu became even more interested. It turned out that this was a well-maintained young auntie, Sibalasi!

"Shut up, Charles. How can you be so rude to such a beautiful lady?"

Hearing this, Xia Qi's mood suddenly improved again. As he laughed out loud, his two big white rabbits began to shake. "Haha, Mr. Alfred, the Holy Sword Saint of Light, was the former Captain of the Gorud Royal Knights. He was imprisoned by Grid III for protecting civilians. On the day of the capital's rebellion, he defeated Fuzman, the boss of the mafia family who offered a bounty of 4 million. Later, he boarded Leo's ship and became a butler."

"Oh, I'm so flattered. I didn't expect the beautiful lady to know me so well."

After he finished speaking, Shaqi turned his gaze to Charles, who had a wary look on his face. "As for this little brother Charles, he was once the heir of the Star Island. He suffered a lot in his childhood because of betrayal by a servant. He won the last Star Food Festival, but unfortunately that competition was not recognized. After that, he followed Leo to many places. Every time he went to a place, he would challenge the famous local chefs. He has never lost so far and is known as the man who is closest to the world's number one chef."

After Shaqi finished speaking, Charles' chin almost rose to the sky: "Auntie, you have good taste. But I am not the kind of person who cares about false reputation."

Damn! Shaqi's temples began to twitch again. "One more thing to add, Chef Charles is a very mean person. He may be single for the rest of his life."

Leo covered his face with his hands, feeling extremely embarrassed. He began to regret bringing these two bastards with him. He completely lost face when meeting Xia Qi this time.

Just when a few people were chatting excitedly, the door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open, and an old man with glasses and silver hair walked in.
