One Piece: Under the Throne

After a burst of smoke and dust, the people covered in iron were revealed.

Tommy yelled at Lannister with a distorted face: "Shut up, you traitor, and find out who is the lord of Param. And your little friend Anna, I know you are all devil fruit users. This sea tower stone cage is a greeting gift, so please watch quietly from the side."

After his rant, Tommy regained his elegance: "Sister, I can promise to restore your body, but the question from seven years ago, shouldn't you tell me the answer today?"

"Give up on this idea. I'm your sister. How dare you say that to me?" Anna looked at Tommy with pain.

Count Tommy's face suddenly darkened: "You still don't agree, right? Can't the physical pain make you lower your proud head? Your father is dead, no one can oppose my love for you, why don't you accept me?"

Boom! Two ghost bombs exploded beside Tommy. When the smoke and dust cleared, Tommy's slightly embarrassed figure was revealed.

"Brother, don't force me. Restore my body. I don't want anything else. You are still the lord of Param." Anna has complicated feelings towards her brother. It was because of Tommy's deformed love for her that Anna had to choose to pray to Poseidon seven years ago in an attempt to escape Tommy's entanglement.

"Hahahaha, Sister Anna, is this your choice? I've been fantasizing about it all the time for the past seven years, but you still disappointed me." Tommy laughed hysterically.

Ah! Anna, in spirit form, suddenly covered her chest and screamed. Lannister took advantage of everyone's attention on Tommy in the stone cage of the sea tower and stabbed Anna in the chest with a dagger. Will, who had just reacted, punched him into the cage with anger. The guards around the hall also raised their muskets in unison and aimed at Leo and his group.

Lannister coughed up a mouthful of blood and half leaned against the cage. "I'm sorry, Miss Anna, you really shouldn't have come back. Lord Tommy is more suitable to be the master of Param. The Earl has governed Param very well in the past few years when you were away. Your appearance will only disrupt the peaceful life here, so Miss Anna, please die."

Lannister's words made Anna feel a piercing pain, which was a hundred times more painful than a dagger piercing her chest. After living alone on the Island of Dolls for a long time, Anna's impression of Param remained seven years ago. She thought about returning to her hometown day and night, but the result was endless betrayal.

The subjects who once loved Diana began to fear her, and the knights who vowed to protect Anna forever betrayed their oaths. They were like sharp blades that could pierce the soul, stabbing Anna's heart again and again.

Anna held back the pain, and her spirit stood up again, staring at Tommy intently: "What about you? Are you going to kill me just because I don't accept your love?"

Tommy stopped laughing. "My dear sister, you are so outstanding. Your parents have been proud of you since you were a child. Your teachers also praised you for your intelligence. When you grew up, your subjects loved you and your knights were loyal to you. You were identified as the next lord of Param Island before you even reached adulthood. All these beautiful things are yours. I didn't want to fight with you because you promised to marry me. Although all the beautiful things are yours, you are mine, so I am willing to be the one behind you. However, you actually betrayed your oath on the day of your coming-of-age ceremony! It's you who made my silent efforts over the years a joke."

Anna closed her eyes in pain, and her soul began to become blurry.

Tommy continued, "Look at how prosperous Parram is under my rule. Who would still remember you? All my subjects praise my achievements, and all my knights are loyal to me. But today you rejected me again, so I don't want you anymore. Please die."

"Oh, by the way, let me tell you one more thing. In the second year after your death, that confused father didn't want to give me the position of lord because he missed you so much. Since he missed you so much, I had to send him to see you. Hahahaha." Tommy confirmed another of Leo's previous guess.

Anna's soul, with her eyes closed, began to tremble violently, and the originally translucent soul turned red.

Ah! A scream swept the whole place, Anna opened her red eyes, her hair fluttered in the air, and the powerful momentum caused cracks to appear on the walls of the castle. The guards in the hall fainted in an instant, and only Anna, Tommy and Leo were still conscious in the room.

Tommy knelt on one knee, holding his head, and looked at Anna in horror. He didn't understand why a dying person would exude such a powerful aura.

Leo pressed the cage's railing with one hand, and the seastone cage was instantly disintegrated. Leo looked at Anna, who looked like an evil spirit, and said to himself, "I didn't expect that you would awaken Conqueror's Haki, what a pity."

Leo is not sure whether Anna's current state is the awakening of the fruit, because she has lost consciousness and only has the purest evil thoughts. She wants to destroy everything, and the first target is Tommy. She swoops down to tear Tommy into pieces.

Tommy had resisted the Conqueror's Haki and was in a very bad condition, but he still did not forget to escape. He pressed a piece of floor, and then a hole appeared under his feet, and Tommy fell directly down.

The castle floor was no match for the ghost's body, and the evil spirit Anna sank directly into the ground and chased Tommy. Leo asked everyone to wait for him up there, and was stopped by Will just as he was about to jump down.

"Leo, Anna looks so bad, she looks like she's dying." He said as he was about to pull out the dagger.

"Don't pull out the dagger, or she will die faster. Take her to see a doctor right away."

Lannister had also awakened. The betrayer laughed in a low voice, "Don't waste your energy. That dagger is specially made. It has the function of accelerating bleeding. The only thing that puzzles me is that it is a seastone dagger, so why doesn't its function become ineffective?"

The area under the hall was completely hollowed out, and it was also a basement. Many weapons were neatly placed on the surrounding shelves. Tommy came down and quickly took out seastone handcuffs and a pistol from one of the shelves.

Tommy didn't know where he got the news, he actually knew that seastone could restrain people with special abilities. But even so, he still underestimated the strange power of the devil fruit.

Tommy threw the seastone handcuffs at Anna, and the result was that the seastone handcuffs went straight through the spirit. Then he started to shoot wildly at the evil spirit Anna, and every bullet fired from the pistol was a seastone bullet. But it still couldn't cause any harm to the evil spirit Anna. Until now, Tommy finally panicked, and he was about to pay the price for his arrogance and cruelty.

Anna screamed and rushed over, and her entire spirit entered Tommy's body. Then Tommy held his head with his hands and began to scream in fear, as if he was experiencing something extremely terrifying.

When Leo jumped down, he saw Tommy rolling on the ground with his head in his hands, and Anna was gone.

Just as Leo was looking for the evil spirit Anna, a red figure appeared from behind Tommy. It was Anna. She hugged Tommy from behind. Then Tommy's eyes began to bulge out, and even his wailing became hoarse. Leo got goose bumps when he saw that.

This state did not last long, Tommy's body began to swell, and after a few seconds it exploded into pieces of meat.

Leo just watched silently without stopping. Suddenly, he had an idea and looked up at the air. The evil spirit Anna condensed in the air again, roared, and a powerful momentum spread out from the spirit body.

Leo let this momentum wash over his spirit. In the last battle on Star Island, Leo felt a strong urge in his heart wanting to burst out of his body. This time, being baptized by the evil spirit Anna's domineering color became an opportunity for Leo to transform. A powerful momentum burst out of his body, and strands of black lightning filled every corner of the basement.

The evil spirit Anna seemed to sense the provocation from Leo's aura, and she rushed towards him directly, targeting Leo.

However, Leo is not a rookie like Tommy. He had already found a way to deal with the ghost fruit as early as on the Island of Dolls. Leo raised his hand and grasped it in the direction where Anna was flying. A stream of water appeared out of thin air and trapped the evil spirit Anna in mid-air.

Under the dual effects of the passing of life and the stripping of abilities, the evil spirit Anna's power became weaker and weaker, and her crimson figure turned back into white.

"Anna, let me see you off for the last time. After you die, I will completely destroy this castle and let this family be buried with you." After hearing Leo's words, the evil spirit Anna gave up struggling. Her eyes regained their spirit and she looked at Leo without blinking.

Charles, Will, and Gloria also jumped down. Gloria saw the weak Anna at a glance: "Sister Anna, what's wrong with you? Why is your body color so light? Brother Leo, please help me."

Leo shook his head slightly: "Give up, Gloria, Anna's life is about to come to an end, and none of us can save her."

At this moment, Anna's spirit suddenly spoke: "Gloria, thank you for being sad for me. In fact, your sister lied to you. You were brought to Moon Watching Island by shipwreck. There were many people who arrived with you. You were only about three years old at that time. I disguised myself as a rag doll and led you into the jungle. I was so lonely that I hoped someone would accompany me on the island. Gloria, I'm sorry, because of my selfishness, I separated you from your parents."

Gloria let go of Leo and ran towards Anna crying, wanting to hug her. Unfortunately, she passed through Anna's body every time she tried: "Sister Anna, I don't care about those things. I just remember that I was very happy living on the island with you. I can feel that your love for me is not fake. Wuwuwu, please don't leave me."

Gloria's words softened Anna's eyes. Then she looked at Leo: "Leo has fulfilled my wish. I have one last request. Please agree to it."

"Okay, as long as I can do it."

"Please take care of Gloria for me and take her out to sea with you. Let her see the scenery I have never seen before."

Leo was silent. To be honest, he didn't really want to agree to Anna's selfish request, but seeing Gloria crying, he softened his heart. A little girl of seven or eight years old would either starve to death in a corner or become the target of human traffickers if no one took care of her.

"It's dangerous to stay with me. As long as you don't mind, I'm fine."

Anna's spirit became fainter and fainter. The moment before it disappeared, Leo seemed to see her lips moving, as if she was saying, "I believe you."
