One Piece: Under the Throne

The Poseidon sailed slowly on the sea, which was much calmer than sailing on the Grand Line. For such a gentle sea, everyone was a little unaccustomed to it for a while. Since they wanted to develop business, they would definitely choose a prosperous country, so the Kingdom of Gorud came into Leo's sight.

Oh, seagulls are flying freely in the sky, and the four people on the boat are enjoying a lazy afternoon. Will is eating snacks while soaking in the swimming pool, Gloria is sunbathing on a beach chair, Charles is sitting under a parasol and enjoying afternoon tea, he is holding a guide to West Sea cuisine, and it seems that he is selecting his opponent, while Leo is soaking in the laboratory.

Since we want to infiltrate the Mafia, it is meaningless to conquer it by force alone. The Mafia is different from pirates, they have their own territories under their control and run a series of industries. Although most of them are illegal, compared to the pirates who can only obtain wealth by robbing, the Mafia's business model of obtaining wealth is much more stable.

So Leo plans to enter the arms market in the West Sea, and he does not intend to focus on low-end business. After all, he is a scientist. What Leo wants to sell is the kind of unique and powerful weapons. If I have them and you don't, just prepare to get beaten.

The first batch of finished products made by Leo were seastone bullets. Anyone who was a devil fruit user could be considered a strong person within the four seas. The seastone bullets, the nemesis of devil fruit users, were naturally high-end products. However, Leo planned to control the quantity, because if the quantity was large, it would be easy for CP agents to come and check the water meter. They were still very weak now, so they had to keep a low profile.

The second product Leo planned to develop was a powerful cannon. Nowadays, both pirates and mafia used black powder cannons, and the shells they fired were round iron cannons. How should I put it? That thing was just like the fireballs in the next village, and it was difficult to kill people. So Leo wanted to make a weapon similar to the Buggy cannon, which had the characteristics of fast loading and huge power. Simply increasing the power of explosives was a piece of cake for Leo, so the first cannon was easily built.

"Will, come and help carry this big guy up to the deck."

Will diligently moved a peculiarly shaped cannon out of the laboratory. Everyone looked at the weapons developed by Leo and fell into deep thought.

"What is this? It's so ugly! What are the two iron balls next to it for?" Gloria looked back and forth between Leo and the cannon with disdain. The little girl seemed to find it hard to believe that this was something made by her captain.

"The shape of this cannon is really strange. Maybe it's too small and too short, and I can't find the ignition point." Will also looked confused as he kept comparing it with the cannon in his memory.

Leo could understand that Gloria and Will had never seen the world, but Charles's reaction made Leo feel uncomfortable. Charles just took a look and jumped up from his seat, then rushed over and covered Gloria's eyes with his hands: "Hey, Leo, you bastard, you call this a cannon? This shape is too immoral."

Leo stood beside him with a nonchalant look on his face. Although he couldn't bear to look at his own invention, he had to explain for the sake of face: "Charles, you know nothing. This is called the internal combustion Armstrong cannon. It is a great invention that transcends the times. I will show you its power right away."

Soon everyone found a small reef island. Leo set up the Armstrong cannon while introducing it to everyone. Don't be fooled by the ugly iron balls on the left and right. In fact, they are cannonballs. The Armstrong cannon can fire three times in a row. Don't underestimate this design. With it, you can form fire suppression. Leo adjusted the cannon very quickly. After a slight calibration, Leo slapped the firing button at the end of the barrel. After a loud bang, the entire reef island was flattened.

Leo patted the Armstrong cannon with satisfaction. The power was just right. If used in gang fights, it would definitely destroy the enemy's lair with one shot. Leo could already see countless small money waving at him.

The Poseidon slowly approached the reef island, and Leo was surprised to find that there were still a lot of broken wood boards floating on the sea. Damn, maybe someone was accidentally injured, Leo felt weak in his heart, and quickly asked Will to put away the bird cannon, and suddenly heard a cry for help from the sea.

A young man in a black suit was holding a piece of wood, with most of his body submerged in water. Seeing that there were still survivors, Leo quickly put down a lifebuoy and pulled the young man up.

"Sir, are you okay? This may be a misunderstanding."

"Cough cough cough, those damn pirates stole my goods and sank my ship. We, the Bay Gang, will make them pay the price." The young man ignored Leo and muttered to himself while coughing up sea water.

After feeling more comfortable, the young man stood up straight and looked at Leo and the other three with a defiant look on his face. "I have seized this ship. My name is Luo Anthony, and I am the third leader of the Bay Gang. If you don't want to suffer, you should obey my orders. Go get me some food first. The short guy, get a sea chart. The fat guy, find me some clean clothes. The girl, have a drink with me."

Ok?

five minutes later.

"Really? Please forgive me for my blindness. My name is Luo Anthony and I'm a small fry of the Gulf Gang. This time I was shipping goods and was attacked by pirates. Thank you for saving me, bosses." The young man had a pig head and some missing teeth. He could hardly speak when he spoke. He was now telling everyone his whole story.

"Where are you from, and what goods were stolen by pirates?" Hearing that this guy was actually a mafia member, Leo suddenly became interested. This was like someone sending him a pillow when he was sleepy. He was worried that he couldn't find the boss of this gang...

"Boss, I'm from Beka. You know Beka? It's the largest port city in the Gorud Kingdom. I went out to sea this time to deliver goods to the Capone family. Among them were a lot of arms and in-demand medicines. Unfortunately, they were robbed by pirates as soon as they went out to sea."

"How strong is your Bay Gang in the Mafia?"

"We are a small gang, a subordinate force of the John family. We are usually responsible for supervising the weapons factory and cargo transportation." Anthony was afraid of being beaten again, so he confessed everything Leo asked.

This guy is a small leader in a small gang, so he is just a small scoundrel. But such a guy is easier to control. Leo plans to see if this guy named Luo Anthony is worthy of being a puppet.

"We are a mobile life-saving team. Since you are a victim, we have the responsibility to send you back to your hometown. Please rest assured that we are professionals."

"Oh NO, please don't send me back. The boss will beat me to death if the goods are lost. Wuuuu, these damn pirates have already been filial to them." Anthony knelt down in front of Leo and cried.

"Oh, you know those pirates? If I say I will help you get the goods back, how are you going to repay me?" Leo looked at Anthony playfully.

When Anthony heard that Leo wanted to help him get the goods back, his first reaction was to refuse. He was just playing a pitiful game. If the goods were taken away, he would be punished, but he would not be killed. And now this group of powerful guys said they wanted to help him and repay him. Luo Anthony didn't know what the other party valued about him, but after thinking about it carefully, he was already in such a miserable situation, so he agreed to Leo and saw what they were going to do.

"Boss, if you can help me get the goods back, I'll let you do anything for me." As he said that, he was about to kiss Leo's shoes, and Leo was so scared that he quickly dodged.

Luo Anthony led Leo and his crew to find the pirates' lair, which was a small deserted island with a pirate ship parked on the shore. There have always been business dealings between the Mafia and the gangs, so Luo Anthony was able to find the other party immediately when he was robbed by the gangs this time.

"The boss is here. Please give the order and let me be the first to rush in." Anthony asked Leo respectfully.

"No, Will, Charles, push out our weapons and destroy these guys."

Three Armstrong cannons were mounted on the deck and fired at the pirates' island. The powerful firepower flattened the entire island in a short while. Several pirates crawled out from the rubble. The bearded leader was still shouting to fight back, but Will killed him with a water-slamming move. Seeing that their boss was dead, the pirates laid down their weapons and surrendered.

There were only about twenty pirates left on the island. Leo asked Anthony to identify them. Anthony quickly found the pirates who had robbed him and ordered them to move all the goods to the ship. Leo put his hands together and eleven huge waves swallowed up the wreckage of the island and the remaining pirates.

Luo Anthony stared at Leo and his men with wide eyes. Whether it was the powerful artillery or the ability Leo showed, it was an unprecedented force, which frightened Anthony. He silently calculated in his heart, these kids are almost as strong as the cadres of the Jon family, what on earth are they going to do to help a small person like me?

Since Leo didn't say anything, Anthony didn't dare to ask, so he could only take them back to Beqa Island with trepidation.

The Kingdom of Gorudo is a member of the World Government and is also an economically prosperous country in the entire West Sea. The largest underground force entrenched here is the John Family, one of the five major mafia families in the West Sea. They rely on the trafficking of drugs and arms as their family's industrial chain.

The Gulf Gang's headquarters is located in a small drug factory, which is also the business of the Jon family, and the Gulf Gang is their watchdog.

After entering the town, Leo found that Luo Anthony was very popular. Although he was a gangster, many villagers greeted him in a friendly manner. After some inquiries, he learned that this guy grew up in Becca.

Luo Anthony is a very ambitious guy. From the fact that he rushed to go out to sea to deliver the goods this time, we can see that he wants to get promoted. Moreover, he is a local boss who was born and raised in Becca. With all these conditions added together, Leo thinks that he is the person he is looking for.

After sending Luo Anthony back to report, Leo led his men away. He divided the team into two groups, one with Charles and Will, and one with Leo and Gloria, and they went into Becca Town to collect intelligence. This was the first step in the attack on the West Sea Mafia.
