One Piece: Under the Throne

Leo's words attracted everyone's attention, and then in everyone's surprised eyes, the falling stone disappeared.

Gloria was the first to run over and touched the metal block: "Is it really gone? Where did Leo's stone go?" The others also looked at Leo with confusion.

"This is the rune technology I found from the historical text. The effect of this rune is teleportation."

After hearing Leo's explanation, everyone exclaimed in unison: "Teleport? Then we can go wherever we want in the future."

"What are you thinking? The teleportation rune needs two pieces to be set up in advance before it can be used, and long-distance teleportation requires a huge amount of energy, so quickly give up your unrealistic ideas."

Seeing that everyone was a little disappointed, Leo quickly started to talk about business: "The main reason I called everyone here today is to discuss how to save the scholars of O'Hara. The historical texts that the scholars are studying are taboos of the World Government, and I have a hunch that they have been exposed, so I want to save them."

Charles thought for a moment and was the first to raise his hand and ask, "Since the World Government has already targeted them, why don't the scholars leave O'Hara in advance?"

"I tried to persuade them, but the scholars were too stubborn. They were willing to risk their lives for their beliefs."

"What if we take the scholars away by force?"

"No, if things get out of hand we'll get into trouble too."

Ah Fu seemed to have thought of something at this time, and asked Leo: "The rare metals you asked me to prepare in advance, could it be used to save the scholars? Do you want to use the teleportation rune to quietly transfer them?"

Leo was somewhat helpless. This was indeed his original idea, but after learning about Dr. Kroba's idea, this method was invalidated. The old man actually tried to reason with the Five Elders.

"What if we pretend to be pirates and attack O'Hara in advance? Since the scholars refuse to leave, we can expel them." Charles proposed a new idea, but Leo still shook his head.

"No, there are still many residents on O'Hara Island. Let's not talk about whether we have the ability to expel them all. I'm worried that O'Hara Island has already been monitored by the World Government."

Ah Fu thought about it and put forward his own suggestion: "The key to the problem is still the historical text. As long as we take the evidence away in advance, the World Government will have no reason to attack O'Hara." The method proposed by Ah Fu was based on his own experience, but he ignored the stubbornness of scholars and the barbarity of the World Government, so this suggestion was also rejected by Leo.

Leo glanced at Gloria and Will who were eating snacks and sighed helplessly.

Just when everyone was at a loss, the Prime Minister took the initiative to climb onto Leo's shoulders and said, "My Lord, do you mean that those scholars were targeted by an organization called the World Government because of some of their research? The World Government will kill the scholars who participated in the research, and you want to save the scholars. At the same time, you are concerned about the power of the World Government and are afraid of getting into trouble?"

"Yes, Prime Minister, your summary is correct."

"Since this is the case, we cannot forcibly take the scholars away. This has nothing to do with the scholars' wishes. The main thing is that the World Government will not give up unless it achieves its goal."

"Oh? What is the Prime Minister's plan?"

"Ahem, my lord, please be serious. The only way to save the scholar is to fake your own death and escape. This matter can only be resolved if the World Government believes that the source of the problem has been successfully eliminated. Otherwise, even if we succeed in rescuing him, we will face endless pursuit."

The Prime Minister's words made Leo's eyes light up. This question hit the nail on the head, and Leo was looking forward to the Prime Minister's next speech.

"Before deciding on a rescue plan, I would like to confirm how the World Government will attack O'Hara?"

Everyone turned their eyes to Leo again. No one had a clear understanding of the World Government's military power. All they could think of was to send people to the island to arrest people. Even Alfu and Charles could only guess that the navy would cooperate in besieging O'Hara.

But Leo knew something that everyone didn't know. After all, he already knew the plot: "Given how much the World Government values ​​the historical text, I think they will launch a demon-killing order to completely wipe O'Hara off the map."

"Demon Slayer Order?" x5

"Yes, it is composed of 10 warships, 5 vice admirals and a large number of naval elites. Once the Demon Slayer Order is launched, it will be an inhumane attack that destroys everything. By then, O'Hara will be reduced to ruins."

"How could this happen? This is too barbaric." Leo's words surprised even Alfu, who had the most experience, not to mention the other friends.

At this time, the Prime Minister interrupted everyone and said, "My Lord, from what you said, the Demon Slaughter Order was a large-scale attack. So the island must have been in chaos when the Demon Slaughter Order attacked."

"Of course, don't have any illusions about the World Government. They won't care about the lives of civilians. When the time comes, hundreds of cannons on 10 warships will fire at the same time, and everything on the island will turn into a sea of ​​fire in an instant."

The Prime Minister pondered for a while and said, "In this case, we should plant explosives on the island in advance and detonate them before the Demon Slaughter Order is launched, so as to create chaos on the island. When the time comes, the scholars will have no way out when facing death, and they will agree to let you save them."

The prime minister's suggestion made Leo fall into deep thought. With his knowledge of the original plot, combined with the prime minister's plan, a more detailed and perfect plan took shape.

"Everyone, listen to me. First we need to make a large enough teleportation device, and then take it to O'Hara. After arriving, we will not land on the island yet. We will first pay close attention to the situation around the island and wait for the right time."

"Once the time is right, I will go to Dr. Kloba to tell him the whole plan and help the scholars transfer the research materials first."

"Then we will wait for the World Government's agents to issue the Demon Slaying Order and detonate the explosives at the same time as the agents issue the attack order. The purpose of this is to force the agents to escape early, giving us time to transfer the scholars."

"I will use the teleportation array to transfer the data and the scholars to the Poseidon Soldier, and then I can escape underwater without anyone noticing."

After explaining the plan, Leo began to assign tasks to everyone: "Will will be responsible for carrying the teleportation array, Charles will be responsible for installing the explosives, and Alfu and Gloria will be responsible for receiving the scholars."

"Yes, Captain!" x4

"As for Prime Minister, you can come with me to the island. Your ability can help the scholars to transfer faster."

"I am willing to share my lord's worries!"

……

After everyone left, Leo fell into deep thought. In fact, there was one thing he hadn't made clear to everyone, which was what the fate of the civilians on the island would be.

Leo needs the deaths of civilians to confuse the World Government. Otherwise, when the Demon Killing Order is over, when the World Government returns to look for the historical text, there will not be a single corpse, which will arouse suspicion.

The prime minister who had been on Leo's shoulder saw his dilemma and asked, "My lord, are you thinking about those innocent people?"

"Oh! Yes, I wonder how many people can survive this disaster."

"My Lord, don't try to save everyone. What you are going to do will result in more deaths in the future."

Leo was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the Prime Minister could see through his heart after only a few days of getting along. After a while, Leo sighed, "Yes, since I have decided to rebel against the government, I have no right to be soft-hearted. Besides, this matter was originally decided by me. Compared with what I am going to do, I am more afraid of bringing my partners into an irreversible situation, so I can only let those irrelevant people cover for us."

"Don't worry, lord. You will succeed!"

Just as Leo and the Prime Minister were leaning against the railing and expressing their true thoughts, they did not notice that a figure flashed behind the gap of the open hatch not far away.
