One Piece: Under the Throne

After playing on Granna Island for two days, Leo felt that he had collected enough intelligence and planned to leave.

In the cabin, two little heads were put together, studying the next trip. Leo pointed to the sea chart and said, "Lina, the island we are going to next is quite far away, and our ship cannot support sailing that far, so I plan to take a ride on the caravan's favorable wind ship."

Lina suddenly became interested: "Oh, are we going to be guards, or join as pirate hunters?"

Rio Mantou was speechless. Little girl, do you know what you are talking about? Two ten-year-old kids applying for a job as a guard would make people laugh to death. Being a pirate hunter is even more outrageous. This is the New World. Being a pirate hunter here, do you think you can't die quickly enough?

Lina covered her head that was hit hard and looked at Leo suspiciously: "What do you want? You can't hire them to protect us. Do we have money?"

Leo was waiting for Lina to ask a question, he suddenly became cocky and answered proudly: "Haha, don't forget my ability, I used the production of fresh water in exchange for our qualification to board the merchant ship." Hearing this, Lina suddenly realized, and then gave Leo a look that said, "You are a very useful boy."

After breakfast, Leo took Lina to the clothing store. Granna Island was indeed a commercial hub. The clothing store had a wide variety of products that could meet the needs of all races. For example, pants that were three times longer than the tops were prepared for the long-legged people. There were also clothes with sleeves that dragged on the ground, which were prepared for the long-armed people. There were also underwear with rivets and thongs with tails. Hmm? This...

Seeing Leo staring at the strange dress without blinking, Lina was immediately unhappy: "What are you looking at? Is that dress nice?"

"Huh? No... I'm just curious about how that tail was attached."

Soon, a boss came up to them and said, "What clothes do you want to buy? We have all kinds of clothes here." Hearing this, Leo pushed Lina in front of the boss and said, "Give her a set of clothes that looks ordinary."

Then Lina was taken by the boss to try on clothes, while Leo felt bored and wandered around. I have to say that the boss has good taste. The styles of the clothes here are very in line with the aesthetics of the second dimension. After walking around for a while, Leo also chose a set he liked, so he also walked into the fitting room.

Leo chose a suit for himself, black trousers, which looked a bit stacked at the bottom. He wore a black sleeveless vest, which looked very suitable for sports, and paired it with a red hooded long windbreaker, and finally a pair of black Martin boots.

After putting on his new clothes, Leo posed a few times in front of the fitting mirror. After looking at himself again and again, he always felt that something was missing. Suddenly, he tidied up his loose blond hair and tied it behind his head. This time, he looked much better.

Leo walked out of the fitting room with satisfaction. When he returned to the hall, Lina had already changed her clothes. When Leo saw the little girl for the first time, he almost thought he had made a mistake. The little girl was wearing a loose T-shirt with cute patterns on her upper body, which looked very naughty and cute, but she chose a pair of denim shorts that reached her hips. Her two straight long legs were fully exposed, and she was wearing a pair of high-heeled sandals on her feet. The buckle design around her ankles made her legs look even longer.

Looking at Lina who couldn't even stand steadily, Leo's mind was full of thoughts of the maximum penalty of three years starting from death. So he suddenly looked at the owner of the clothing store: "Did you choose this for her?"

The boss seemed not to notice Leo's fiery eyes, and kept nodding with satisfaction: "Yes, I also listened carefully to the customer's opinions and matched this lovely lady based on my experience. You see, my vision is not bad."

"You are really cruel!"

After praising the boss, he looked at Lina again: "Is this your request? Have you ever seen anyone dressed like this?"

Lina was still pulling down her T-shirt, as if she was embarrassed to wear it in front of Leo. When she heard the question, she replied weakly, "Once Susanna caught Uncle Rick secretly reading a book and asked him if he liked this style. I saw that the big sister on the cover of the book was wearing it like this. I thought that as Uncle Rick's son, you had the same hobby as him."

Leo: “…”

Shit! The bastard dad has such a history? Didn't mom break his legs? Suppressing his curiosity about the follow-up, Leo asked the boss to choose a new outfit for Lina. Putting aside the clothes, at least Lina couldn't wear those shorts and high heels, otherwise how could she move around.

After changing into a more normal set of clothes, the two left the clothing store. After leaving the store, Leo suddenly saw the owner of the caravan he had negotiated with before walking into a tavern, so he wanted to go over and say hello to him.

After reaching the door of the tavern, Lina suddenly sniffed, and then said to Leo with a look of disgust: "What's that smell? It smells so bad, I don't want to go in."

"Okay, then you wait here and don't run around. I'll be out soon."

About 5 minutes later, Lina, who was waiting at the door of the pub, was kicking stones on the ground out of boredom when she suddenly heard a cry for help from the alley next to her.

"Help... help... wuwuwu"

Lina carefully looked over and saw two sneaky men stuffing a little girl's mouth with a rag and putting her into a sack. Then one of the thin men kicked the sack, and the little girl's cries for help instantly turned into low whimpers.

Lina was furious. How could two grown men bully a little girl? So Lina rushed into the alley and kicked one of the men from behind before they could react. Something seemed to break. The man fell to the ground with a cry, twitching like a shrimp out of water.

The other man obviously didn't expect someone to dare to meddle in his business. Just as he was about to draw out his dagger to fight back, Lina, who jumped into the air, hit him in the nose with a knee. Then the man followed in the footsteps of his companion.

After getting rid of the two people, Lina raised her proud chin, snorted lightly, and went to untie the sack, and carried out a little girl about five years old. Seeing that the child's eyes were swollen from crying, Lina's sympathy could not be contained, and she clumsily helped the little girl untie the rope. Before she could ask any questions, a few more people rushed in from the alley.

The men who came in were also men, and they seemed to be in the same group as the two lying on the ground. The man in the lead had a dark face, and after a few glances, he guessed what had happened. Then he pulled out a dagger and pointed it at Lina, saying, "Which little girl dared to ruin our business? If you want to be a hero, you don't have to leave. Brothers, catch them for me."

……

After chatting with the caravan owner for a few words, Leo left the tavern. As soon as he went out, he found that Lina was gone again. Ah, this... should I say it's worthy of being Lina? Leo felt his blood pressure rising again, so he had to keep comforting himself: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, Lina is still a child."

Looking around but not seeing Lina, Leo had no choice but to ask the man who was enjoying the cool breeze on the roadside not far from the tavern: "Uncle, have you seen where the little girl who was standing at the door of the tavern just now has gone?"

Hearing this, the old man suddenly looked at Leo nervously: "Is that girl your friend?"

"Yeah, uncle, do you know where she went?"

"Hey, little brother, go and save him quickly. I saw a group of human traffickers chasing her towards the port."

"Ah? Human traffickers?" Leo was shocked. Human traffickers are the most hated group of people in the world of One Piece. Leo really didn't expect that Lina would be targeted by them.

Without giving it much time to think, Leo ran towards the port. Before he ran far, he heard the uncle behind him shout, "The biggest ship in the port is the ship of human traffickers."

Leo didn't even turn his head to say thank you and disappeared around the corner. But what Leo didn't see was that the uncle who had just shown him the way looked at him with a sinister look on his face as he ran away.

After running all the way without seeing Lina, Leo had no choice but to look for the traffickers' boat. According to the information provided by the uncle, a large black boat had just left the port. "Oh no, the traffickers are running away, these bastards." Leo cursed and jumped into the sea.

The traffickers' boat started to speed up as soon as it went out to sea. Soon, Granna Island was just a silhouette. On the deck was a fat captain who suddenly shot and killed one of his men: "Assholes, you can't even do such a small thing, you can't even catch two little girls, what's the point of keeping you."

"Boss, that little girl was more agile than a monkey. We chased her for several blocks before she jumped onto a house and ran away."

"You still dare to make excuses. Do you know how much a girl who knows physical skills is worth? My money is gone like that, you bastard, how are you going to compensate me?" The fat captain had a ferocious look on his face. His subordinate's explanation had no effect at all. Instead, it made him even angrier. The angry captain was about to shoot his subordinate again.

Suddenly, a scream came from not far away.

"Huh? What do you do, ah!"

"Monster, you are a monster, don't kill me..."

The fat captain turned around and saw two of his men lying in a pool of blood: "You came out of nowhere, kid? How dare you hurt my men? Don't you want to live?" While cursing, the fat captain pulled out the long whip from his waist and whipped Leo.

Leo dodged the whip nimbly but was kicked by the human trafficker who rushed over. Although he blocked the kick with both hands, his body was still kicked out by the huge force and stopped only after hitting the side of the boat.

"Hurry up and tie this kid up and throw him into the cell. Damn, why did he have so many bad luck today?"

Without waiting for the human trafficker to make any move, Leo suddenly put his hands together, snap! The sound of palms colliding attracted everyone's attention, and eight thick streams of water rose from behind him.

"A Devil Fruit user?" The trafficker's eyes glowed with greed. It was a pleasant surprise. This was even more valuable. He shouted excitedly, "Catch him alive."

On the other hand, Leo's face was cold. The water received the order and began to attack the enemy. In just a moment, everyone on the deck was trapped by the water ball.

Looking at the fat captain who was struggling in the water ball, Leo had no sympathy in his eyes. He drew out his dagger, compressed the sea water on the blade, and then swung at the fat man.

[Deep Blue Blade] cut off the fat captain's arm easily like a hot knife cutting through butter. A large amount of blood spurted out and dyed the entire water ball red, but Leo had no intention of stopping and cut off one of the fat captain's legs with another knife.

After doing all this, Leo controlled the water ball to shrink a little, revealing the fat captain's head. The deck instantly rang out with a pig-like wail: "My hands, my legs, damn it, how dare you..."

"Shut up. If you shout again, I will chop off the rest of your hands and feet. Now answer my question. Where are you holding my companions?"

"Hey, hiss... Who is your companion?"

"A little girl about ten years old."

"No, we didn't catch her. If you don't believe me, go to the cabin and see for yourself. All the slaves are locked up there."

"In that case, you're useless." Leo said as he raised his knife to kill him.

"Wait, I remember now. Before we set out, my men once chased two little girls, but they escaped."

Hmm? That means Lina is still on Granna Island. Great, as long as she is not caught by the traffickers, Lina's life will not be in danger. I have to go back quickly, the little girl must be very worried if she can't find me.

After making up his mind, Leo ignored the fat captain's pleading eyes and cut his neck with a knife. When Leo finished dealing with the captain, his men had already drowned in the water ball.

This morning, a strange thing happened at the port of Granna Island. A large black ship was pushed ashore by the sea. When people inspected the ship, they found a large number of dead bodies and hundreds of slaves.
