One Piece: Under the Throne
Chapter 71 Knowledge is money?
After returning safely to the West Sea, Leo and his crew returned to their daily training life, occasionally going out to sea to do maritime rescue business. Although the business was bleak, Leo did not care. He did this mainly to consolidate his identity.
Roger's execution sounded a wake-up call to Leo. He almost forgot such an important event. If he gave up on it, wouldn't it be like giving up the biggest advantage of a time traveler? So Leo thought about it and decided to record all the important events in Chinese characters.
It seemed to be due to time travel, Leo had an extremely good memory since childhood. He could even remember the brief glimpses of his past life. This made Leo think that he was gifted. He had the second-rate idea that maybe his soul was extremely powerful.
Let me see what big things have happened recently.
"Golden Lion broke into the Navy Headquarters alone. No, no, Roger is dead. He should be in prison now. It seems that he will escape from prison soon. Write it down, write it down."
"Mr. Tom will be tried this year, but he will be fine. The sea train is not finished yet, so there is no rush for this matter."
"O'Hara..."
"Archaeological team, Nicole Olivia"
"That's it. This year, the archaeological team will set out from O'Hara. In two years, the island will be destroyed by the Demon Slayer Order. It's time to learn ancient characters!"
After deciding on the next goal, Leo gathered everyone together.
Before Leo could speak, Alfu complained, "Captain, you have been lazy for several days. If you cannot give a reasonable explanation, we will not only have to make up for the missed training, but also conduct additional training."
"Wulu Sai, of course I am doing something very important. This is related to our future development and can even affect the direction of the world."
Leo hung a map of the West Sea on the wall, pointed to an island and said, "This is my next target, O'Hara, the famous archaeological holy land in the West Sea."
Charles said in surprise, "No way! They are just a group of scholars. How did they offend you?"
"Hey, am I that kind of person in your eyes? Can't I just want to go to school?"
"What?" Everyone looked like they were kidding, and then started laughing.
Leo was embarrassed by the laughter and shouted with a red face: "Stop laughing, I'm serious, this matter is very important to us!"
As a native of Xihai, Ahfu knew O'Hara, but he still asked suspiciously: "Leo, when did you become interested in archaeology?"
"I want to go there and learn how to interpret historical texts. If I can understand historical texts, it means I have the key to the final island."
Ah Fu: "You are not going to become a pirate yourself just after watching the execution in One Piece? And interpreting historical texts is illegal."
Leo: "Who wants to be a pirate? Deciphering historical texts is an important bargaining chip for the future, and..."
Leo couldn't really explain to everyone that O'Hara Island would become a ruin in two years, after all, that hadn't happened yet. So Leo hesitated for a long time and couldn't explain it clearly.
Seeing that Leo was in a dilemma, Ah Fu quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Since Leo has made up his mind, how about we pack up today and set off tomorrow?"
"What I mean is that I will go alone this time, and you will continue to stay on Beqa Island to improve your strength. I will be back in about a year. During this time, you must not look for me. Please believe me, this is really important."
Seeing Leo being so serious, everyone stopped laughing. As Leo was the captain, everyone supported his ideas with conditions, which was also the consistent purpose of flowing life.
After explaining everything, Leo embarked on his journey to study. O'Hara was not too far from the Kingdom of Gorud, so Leo only took a large amount of money and "traveled lightly".
The strange behavior of their captain made everyone think that he was not going there to learn knowledge, but to wholesale knowledge.
……
Time was running out, so Leo used his ability to travel faster, and it took only 5 days to see O'Hara Island. At this time, O'Hara was still a prosperous island, famous for the All-Knowing Tree, and the residents could live and work in peace and contentment, so it was also one of the few islands in the West Sea with a high happiness index.
After arriving on the island, the first thing Leo did was to buy or rent a villa near the Tree of All-Knowing. When paying the money, he was still sighing that the housing prices in the world of One Piece were really affordable. If he could live in such a big house in his previous life, then he would... continue to be an otaku. There is no need to work hard, the two-dimensional world is the best!
After finding a place to stay, Leo immediately went to the Tree of All-Knowing. He planned to visit this world-famous library first.
"Hello, can I come in for a visit?"
As soon as Leo entered the door, he saw an old man with a clover-shaped head coming up to greet him: "Hello, child, welcome to the Tree of All-Knowing."
Leo's eyes lit up. It was another important character from the original novel. "Hello, you must be Dr. Kloba. I have heard of you for a long time!"
"Yes, I am Cloba. Child, are you also interested in history? Let me take you on a tour first." Dr. Cloba enthusiastically accompanied Leo to visit the library. The doctor is indeed a well-educated man. He can explain in detail any book Leo picks up.
Leo also saw many scholars looking up information, and the entire library was filled with a strong academic atmosphere. After a while, Leo felt that he had read enough, so he told Dr. Kloba why he came.
"My name is Leo, and I came here to make a contribution to the archaeological cause."
Kloba had a puzzled expression on his face. He was confused by Leo's words: "What do you mean by making a contribution?"
"Don't look at my young age, but I went to sea when I was 10 years old. I have made a lot of money over the years. I admire scholars very much, so I want to donate some money to help everyone study history."
"Oh my! Mr. Leo is really young and promising!"
"No, no! I really want to be as knowledgeable as you. In addition to donating money, I also want to stay here to study. I wonder if you can fulfill my little wish?"
"Well, I'm afraid..."
"Oh, by the way, the money just now was just a donation. These are my tuition fees. What do you think?"
"Oh! It's rare! Nowadays, it's rare to see a young man as studious as you. Since you are so eager to learn history, how can I turn you away?"
"Yes, I think knowing more about history can help me be less confused."
"That's right, kid. I see you're very confused right now. How about this: if you donate some more, I'll immediately grant you the title of Honorary Scholar, and we can communicate more in the future."
Leo heard the doctor's perfunctory tone and cursed in his heart, "Damn it! You still want to take the money and not do the work?"
But this is enough. Leo is very confident in his enhanced brain. If Robin can become an archaeologist in two years, he can do it too.
Soon, Dr. Kloba awarded Leo the Honorary Scholar Badge in front of all the scholars, and then ended the visit with the two of them smiling falsely.
In the following days, Leo went to the Tree of All-Knowing Library on time every morning to read books, and did not leave until sunset. Occasionally, he would ask Dr. Kloba for answers to questions. Over time, the doctor gradually let down his guard against Leo.
Today, Leo arrived at the library on time again. Just when he was about to find a book to read, he suddenly felt someone pulling his sleeve. He turned around and saw, Bingo! Another SSS-level character. Young Robin was so cute!
Leo tried his best not to appear too excited and asked softly, "Hello, how can I help you?"
Robin seemed a little shy. She didn't answer Leo, but just stood on tiptoe and pointed at a book on the top shelf.
Now it was Leo's turn to be embarrassed. He didn't expect Robin to make such an excessive request. Couldn't the little girl see that she was also a shorty?
But the atmosphere was already so tense that Leo had no choice but to go ahead. Fortunately, he could use the power of the fruit to help him jump high, and finally Leo got the book with Robin's admiring expression on her face.
Robin's expression eased after taking the book. She timidly said in a low voice, "Hello, my name is Robin, and I'm Dr. Cloba's student. Are you here to study as well?"
Looking at the cute Robin, Leo couldn't help but want to tease her. He first showed her the scholar badge, and then said proudly: "No, I am already an archaeologist."
"Nani? You are an archaeologist too? How long did it take you to pass the exam? Why have I never seen you before?"
Leo raised his head even higher: "I just joined here too, and I became an archaeologist in less than a day!"
"...You, are you kidding me?"
"Bring money into the group and find out more."
"What do you mean?"
Leo rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile: "Haha, I won't tease you anymore. Study hard. I want to start reading too." He became happy after being naughty for a while, and even the obscure ancient Chinese books became more interesting.
Robin had a natural liking for this young man who did not reject him, and from that day on Robin always read next to Leo.
The dull days lasted for a week, and Leo stepped into the library on time again. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a little Robin looking at him angrily.
"What happened to Robin? Who bullied him again?"
"Liar! Leo is a big liar... I... I will never talk to you again." After saying that, he pushed Leo away and rushed out.
Leo glared at Dr. Kloba who had informed on him, but the latter just shrugged and said that it was his own fault.
Robin ran into the forest in one breath. She now regretted running out in anger. It was all Leo's fault that she couldn't read in the library. But it would be too embarrassing to go back like this, unless... unless that guy came to find her, huh!
Robin came to the place where she usually read, and waited for Leo to come to her while reading.
Suddenly a tomato hit Robin's face. It turned out that the little boy who often bullied her came again. Robin didn't dare to fight back, so she could only raise her hand to block it. However, the tomato didn't come again. Robin carefully opened the gap and saw a figure blocking her.
"Leo, you...why did you come just now?"
"Sorry for the long wait!"
Leo casually caught the tomato thrown at him and glared at the three kids with an unhappy look on his face: "Three boys actually bullied a girl, you guys come over here and apologize to Robin."
"Lululu, no, are you also an accomplice of the devil?"
Leo raised his hand and made a pistol gesture: "I don't want to repeat myself a second time. If you don't come over, you will suffer."
The three little boys pointed their guns at Leo and said, "We are not afraid of you because we have three guns. The devil's accomplices are not good people either. Let's beat him together."
Bang, bang, bang
Three drops of water accurately hit the naughty kids' foreheads. After a brief moment of stunned silence, the boys all covered their heads and ran away crying.
Robin also looked at Leo in surprise: "Are you too...?"
Leo didn't say anything, but gave the answer with his action. A stream of water appeared out of nowhere and began to spin around them.
"I'm sorry for lying to you before, but I meant no harm. I just wanted to tease you. Robin, can you forgive me?" After saying that, Leo took out a handkerchief and handed it to Robin.
Robin took the handkerchief and wiped his face casually, snorting: "You wish. I won't forgive you that easily."
Leo handed over the tomato he had just received: "How about taking this as my apology?"
Robin pushed Leo's hand away angrily: "I hate tomatoes the most. They are so cold."
Before Robin could finish his sentence, he felt a chill on his face. Leo smiled and put an ice cream stick on Robin's face. He opened the package and found two sticks inside. He separated them and handed one to Robin and put the other one in his own mouth.
Robin looked at the ice cream and then at Leo, then snatched it away and stuffed it into his mouth.
Gradually Robin's eyes curved into crescents.
Really sweet x2
