One Piece: Under the Throne

Boom, a mushroom cloud rose into the sky, and Leo bid farewell to Param with a grand fireworks display.

The Poseidon gradually went away, ending the trip to Param and embarking on the journey again.

This trip to Param is full of tragedy. Leo witnessed the evil of human nature, Tommy's jealousy and distortion, the selfishness and indifference of the townspeople, and even the victim Anna in the story kidnapped Gloria for her own selfishness. It seems that there are no good people in this story. Upon closer inspection, the only victim is the little girl trembling beside him.

It was after leaving Param that Leo discovered that there was something he had overlooked. After successfully recovering the ghost fruit, Leo did not get any feedback on the power. The reason was probably that the soul of the devil fruit had merged with Anna, so Leo directly recovered only the soul of the devil fruit from Anna's soul, and the power of the devil fruit also dissipated with Anna's death. It is unknown whether the ghost fruit will be reborn.

Gloria is still immersed in the grief of losing Anna, so Leo leaves her to Will's care, hoping that the chubby fish's optimistic personality can infect the little girl and help her get out of her grief as soon as possible.

Another half month passed, and the Poseidon was not far from the Twin Capes. A food-grabbing war was taking place on the deck. After a month of getting along, Gloria had already integrated into the team, as could be seen from her daring to grab food from everyone. What Leo didn't expect was that the girl looked weak but surprisingly had a lot of appetite. Gloria and Will had a very good relationship, but once they sat at the table, they instantly became rivals.

"Baji, baji, Charles, the seafood pancakes you made are so delicious. Will, put the octopus legs down for me, I saved them for last." Gloria was like a hamster, with her cheeks puffed up every time she ate.

"Slurp, ah, I've eaten it. Such delicious food should be eaten right away." Will finished the last bite of food on the table contentedly and said while burping.

This kind of scene happens every day, and Leo likes this kind of atmosphere very much. He kind of understands what Whitebeard said. It's really good to feel like the crew is like family.

Currently, the team has four members. Leo is the captain and the most powerful person in the team. He has a humanoid devil fruit that allows him to control the sea and deprive others of their devil fruit abilities. His mission is to recycle all devil fruits, but he has not told anyone in the team about this.

Charles is a chef with superb cooking skills. He is a user of the Cold Weapon Fruit ability and is good at kicking. The development of his fruit ability is a bit weird. In addition to spear weapons, he is good at using his body to transform into various kitchen utensils.

Fishman Will is a boatman who knows how to use Fishman Karate. According to Leo's judgment, his rank is only in the single digits. He is greedy and timid, and longs for recognition. He values ​​friendship very much and has unconditional trust in Leo.

Gloria is the poster girl. Not only can she eat, but she is also born with supernatural powers. She is also a devil fruit user. Gloria's fruit is the Hunting Fruit, which is equivalent to the higher level of the Target Fruit. The Hunting Fruit can also be activated by the user touching the enemy with his hand, but the ability is more diversified.

The Hunting Fruit user can mark an enemy by touching him with his left hand. The marked enemy can be sensed by the user at any time, with a maximum radius of 10 kilometers and a duration of 24 hours. The long-range attack launched by the user will also automatically track the marked enemy.

Traps can be set wherever the right hand touches. The traps last for 24 hours and remain invisible until they are triggered. Due to cognitive limitations, Gloria can only set three types of traps: sinkholes, noose, and mousetraps.

The Hunting Fruit is undoubtedly a very powerful fruit, but Gloria herself is still very weak and cannot exert the power of this fruit. Considering that the little girl is only 8 years old, there is plenty of time for her to grow slowly.

Looking at the team that had become stronger again, Leo nodded with satisfaction: "Guys, let's discuss the name of the team. Our sea rescue team needs a cool group name and flag."

At the captain's command, everyone came up with suggestions. Names like Ocean Peace Messenger, Knife and Fork Rescue Team, Little Princess Rescue Team, etc. were all rejected by Leo.

Faced with a bunch of bad naming, Leo decided to name the group himself. Since it was a sea rescue, the group name must reflect the element of life. Leo remembered that there was a mobile phone APP called Mobile Life in his previous life. The two words can be translated separately and combined to read as [flowing life]. Leo thought this was in line with the requirements, so he proposed to use this name.

Charles and the other two had no better ideas, so they agreed to the captain's suggestion and finally decided to name the team Flowing Life.

The next step was to make the flag, which made the deck a mess. When Will and Gloria heard that they were going to paint the flag, they completely let themselves go. The little girl poured dye all over Will, then picked him up with one hand and threw him onto the canvas, leaving a silhouette of a pufferfish.

Charles was pacing on the deck with a glass of red wine in his hand. Suddenly, an idea came to him. He drew a circle with a cross inside it on the canvas. The two lines of the cross extended to the outer edge of the circle. Charles said to Leo confidently, "How about this? The circle represents the world and the cross represents rescue. It fits our profession very well."

Leo looked at him with disdain. Hanging this pattern looks like a moving target on the sea. Is it for pirates to practice artillery? Hearing Leo's evaluation, Charles retreated with his head down.

Just when several people could not reach a consensus, a beam of sunlight shone on the golden trident on the bow of the ship. The dazzling reflection attracted everyone. Everyone looked at each other and finally decided to use the trident logo on the flag. Then, under Leo's surprised eyes, Gloria printed the trident on the flag according to the method Will drew before.

After a long struggle, the flag was finally raised on the mast. A trident pattern fluttered in the wind, but what Leo didn't expect was that the ink was not dry when the flag was raised. The ink flowed along the trident, making it look like someone had just been killed. Coupled with the words "flowing life", the whole flag gave people a feeling of blood and killing, and there was no intention of saving lives at all.

Leo sighed with a frown on his face, and said, "Forget it, let it be. I'm tired!"

The flag was raised, the group name was decided, and the Mobile Life Rescue Team was officially established. Leo planned to explain the next plan to everyone.

"The Flowing Life was officially established today. Next, we will pass through the Upside-Down Mountain and head to the West Sea, where we will slowly make a name for ourselves."

Leo thought for a long time about going to the four seas to develop, and finally chose the West Sea mainly because of O'Hara's existence. Leo planned to learn ancient characters. Perhaps this was the only way to master ancient characters.

"There are many countries in the West Sea that are controlled by the mafia. Our first goal when we get there is to support a puppet, disrupt them from within, and then unify all the mafias in the West Sea."

Childs wondered, "Why unify the Mafia?"

"Of course we let the Mafia help us make money. Otherwise, do you think the rescue team can feed everyone?"

After looking at Will and Gloria with lingering fear, Charles shut up completely.

Leo explained to everyone: "Freedom is the concept of our team. Establishing a maritime rescue team is just a protective cover. This will reduce many obstacles to our voyage. As for the Mafia, it is just a stepping stone. In this world, power is the foundation. In addition to personal power, there are many resources that can help us. I plan to use the power of the Mafia to establish a huge intelligence organization to provide us with information. It would be even better if it can develop into a giant in the dark world. After all, identity is also a kind of power."

Childs continued to ask: "What is the purpose of doing this?"

"The World Government, local nobles, the Pirate Emperor, the Dark World, these known major forces are the most powerful organizations in the world. If we want to sail on the sea without restraint, we must make good use of these forces. But on the surface, we are a maritime rescue, and we must obtain official recognition, so that the navy and the like will not become our enemies. Then we can use the mafia we support to join the evil camp and help us settle some of the evil camp's affairs. The dual identities of black and white can make us much safer, at least it can buy time for stable development. When everyone's power grows to the point where they can ignore the rules of this world, the dual identities will be useless."

"It's also very dangerous if Leo can't stand his ground," Charles said with a frown.

"There's nothing we can do. It's because we were born in a poor family. We can only succeed if we make good use of every help. Time is our biggest enemy. This is the only arrangement we have until everyone grows up." Leo said firmly.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Leo drove the Poseidon and continued to move towards the Twin Capes. He didn't know if he could run into Crocus, or if Roger and his gang had reached Raftel.

As the Poseidon sailed into the Twin Capes, Leo saw the lighthouse at the entrance and suddenly remembered that there was a whale named Laboo here. After carefully sensing the seabed, Leo called Will to point him in the direction and asked him to call Laboo up.

Will jumped into the sea, and soon emerged from the water with a huge whale.

It was the first time that Gloria and Charles saw an island whale, and they stared at the giant creature in front of them with wide eyes.

Leo jumped on top of Laboo's head and said to it: "Laboo, I know you can understand me. The person you are waiting for will definitely meet again."

Laboo howled happily to the sky. For some reason, he was so afraid of the little guy in front of him that he believed what he said.

"Labo, I'll tell you the news you want. You need to do me a favor." Leo patted Labo's head and said.

Rab waved his body in agreement, and Leo raised the corner of his mouth slightly, asking Gloria to bring dye and paint a crooked trident logo on top of Rab's head, writing an advertisement for his mobile life ocean rescue business on it.

When Leo came, he had already made up his mind that he must be the first to occupy such a good advertising space. He can only say sorry to future Luffy.

Looking at his masterpiece, Leo nodded with satisfaction, called Will to return to the Poseidon together, and rushed up the Upside-Down Mountain with Lab's farewell.

The Poseidon went upstream, higher and higher, and passed through the clouds. Charles, Will, and Gloria all looked at everything in front of them excitedly.

Leo found a wine barrel and placed it in the middle of the deck, and was the first to put his feet on it.

"I want to break all obstacles and sail freely on the sea." Leo added silently in his heart that if possible, he would overturn the world. The world government and the emperor of the sea would all die.

Seeing Leo's ceremonial speech, the others gathered around and everyone put their feet on the bucket.

“I want to defeat all the chefs in the world and truly become the best in the world.”

"I want to follow Leo around the world and find a way to allow fish people to survive in the sun."

"I...I'll do anything as long as I'm with everyone. I don't want to lose my family again."

Leo and the other two looked at Gloria and laughed out loud. Amid the laughter, the Poseidon rushed into the waterway belonging to the West Sea.
