One Piece: Under the Throne

Following Leo's roar, the Freedom Mech's thrusters immediately output at maximum power. Aokiji only felt Leo's figure flash, and the Freedom Mech appeared in front of him.

Before his body could react, Aokiji felt a sharp pain on his face, and the Freedom Mecha's fist wrapped in thick armed color was imprinted on his face.

Aokiji was originally chasing Leo using the Moon Step, but without a foothold in the air, Leo punched him and sent him flying. Aokiji was like a falling meteor, leaving a huge human-shaped hole on the battlefield.

Just after dealing with Aokiji, without giving Leo a chance to catch his breath, Kizaru attacked again. The sword of Ame no Murakumo passed through the air without a ripple, and slashed silently from behind Leo.

Just when the Murasakibara sword was about to hit the Freedom Mecha, Leo moved. Leo, who was originally staring at Aokiji's figure, changed his position in an instant, from facing away from Kizaru to facing him directly. The non-Newtonian fluid shield blocked Kizaru's sneak attack in a flash.

"Huh? It feels weird again. Your movements just now seemed to have suddenly become faster?"

When fighting with Leo again, that strange feeling appeared again. Kizaru felt that Leo seemed to have fast-forwarded suddenly, and his movements and reactions seemed like a different person.

If the action just now was performed by a master of physical skills such as Garp, Kizaru would not be surprised, but the information of Water Angel Leo only showed that his fruit ability was strong, and he was suspected to be able to control sea water, and he was the only top scientist. Leo's previous battles were also fought with the help of that strange metal armor and fruit ability.

But when Rio called Aokiji and punched him just now, he had already demonstrated his extraordinary attainment in Armament Haki. However, Armament Haki cannot be equated with the level of attainment in physical skills. Physical skills require unremitting training to become a master.

Kizaru had previously analyzed that Leo's Observation Haki could not reach the level of predicting the future, and now observing him closely again further confirmed his guess.

"Strange ability. Try to dodge this move again."

[Eight-foot Qiongmagatama]

Kizaru, who wanted to try Leo again, suddenly launched a large-scale AOE tracing move.

In an instant, light bullets enveloped Leo like raindrops, even covering the space he had to dodge.

But Leo did not dodge as Kizaru expected. Leo remained in the same place and just quickly adjusted his body slightly to dodge all the light bullets.

Kizaru guessed correctly, Leo's dodging action was indeed related to his observation Haki. Although Leo's observation Haki was not able to predict the future, it did have special abilities.

Due to the time travel, Leo's brain and mental strength are particularly powerful, which allows Leo's observation Haki to evolve into characteristics similar to [Bullet Time].

In fact, Leo was able to use this ability when he fought Aokiji for the second time, but he was unable to bring out the characteristics of this ability at that time.

The reason is that Leo's physical skills are too weak. To put it simply, his brain can keep up, but his body is very slow.

When Leo discovered that he had such powerful abilities but was unable to use them, he regretted it for a long time. Why didn't he work harder and practice physical skills when he was a child?

But it was a bit late for training, so Leo turned to developing a system for use with bullet time, a mecha system controlled by mental power.

Then another long-forgotten name appeared in Leo's mind.

【Dragoon System】

Since they already have the Freedom Gundam and the floating gun, how can they not have a matching system? The observation Haki solves the problem of spatial sense, and the superhuman brain solves the problem of complex instructions. When these two abilities are combined, Leo has the ability of a new human.

After easily dodging Yasakani no Magatama, Leo's mouth curled up: "Kizaru, have you had enough fun? We've been fighting for so long, it's time for me to fight back."

As Leo finished speaking, 32 floating cannons flew out from behind the Freedom Mech, formed an array and flew towards Kizaru.

In the blink of an eye, the laser net covered Kizaru, who was immune to the damage of the laser just by transforming into an element. But Kizaru was unable to fight back against Leo even though he had been in elemental form. After all, Kizaru was just a beam of light, and without a physical body, there was no way to effectively kill Leo.

Although it seems that neither side can do anything to the other, Leo has more than 32 floaters. Since the development of the Dragoon system, Leo has expanded the number of his floaters to 128, and only used a quarter of his strength to tie up Kizaru.

It's not that Kizaru hasn't tried to break through the blockade of the floating gun, but in his current state he can only shoot lasers biubiubiu, and he doesn't even dare to use his proud light-speed kick, otherwise he will be in danger of getting injured once he breaks away from the elemental state.

But the laser could not hit the floater. Under the control of the Dragoon system, each floater could perform complex evasive movements. Coupled with Leo's [Bullet Time] Observation Haki, Kizaru shot for a long time but returned empty-handed. This battle was extremely frustrating.

After tying up Kizaru, Leo was about to return to the battlefield but was stopped by Aokiji, who was also Leo's old rival. Aokiji activated the ability of the Ice Fruit without thinking, trying to freeze the surrounding space to restrain the floating cannon.

But Leo also knows Aokiji very well. When the two fought for the first time, Leo was able to solve the ability of the Ice Fruit by separating the cold air. Now it is easier to restrain Aokiji's second ability.

Leo raised his right hand seemingly casually, and a large number of water molecules began to gather towards Leo's palm, and soon formed a big water ball.

In an instant, Leo drained all the moisture in the air within a 500-meter radius, turning this space into a dry air space, blocking Aokiji's freezing ability in this way.

Without the ability to reorganize and recover anywhere, Leo released 32 floating cannons to besiege Aokiji. The lasers shattered the admiral several times. Aokiji could only be resurrected on the spot each time. He had to give up the elementalization and use the armed color domineering to block the laser attacks.

"Damn, what kind of weapon is this and why is it so difficult to deal with?" Aokiji, who was in a tough battle, couldn't help but wonder in his heart.

The floater can attack from all angles, but whether it is Kizaru's laser or Aokiji's Marine Six-style, the floater can flexibly dodge them.

“Hahahahahaha, experience the power of the Dragoon system. It’s time to end this war.”

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, Leo released the remaining 64 floaters. Without the admiral's restraint, Leo simply slaughtered the other navy unilaterally. Ordinary soldiers could not even withstand the attack of the floaters, and even those elite generals could only protect themselves at best.

Leo folded his arms and looked down at the battlefield. He was very satisfied with the Dragoon system's performance in its first appearance.

The combination of technology and fruit abilities is the path that Leo has taken since his teens to reach his current power, and now it is finally being fully displayed to the world for the first time.

In the face of this new system, everyone seemed so powerless. Seeing the low-level soldiers falling in large numbers, Zhan Guo finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"No more waiting. We can't completely wipe out the Whitebeard Pirates today. Notify the secret forces to begin encirclement!"

Following Sengoku's order, the entire battlefield began to vibrate. High walls rose around the crescent-shaped battlefield, encircling the Whitebeard Pirates in the middle. A large number of warships could be seen faintly in the only gap.

As expected, Zhan Guo had a backup plan, and the situation on the battlefield suddenly became tense.
