One Piece: Under the Throne

The freezing time capsule attacked very quickly, and in an instant Sauro felt that his lower body had lost consciousness.

Sauro knew he couldn't escape, so he quickly put Robin down and said, "Little girl, run away quickly. Keep running forward. There is a raft I made by the sea. You can use it to escape O'Hara. Don't tell anyone about your relationship with Olivia."

"No, I don't want to go out to sea alone. I can't leave my mother and Leo to escape alone."

"Hurry up and run. There's no time. If you're caught by the guy behind you, you'll never see your family again. There's hope only if you escape from O'Hara. Even if we're separated temporarily, we'll always meet again. You're not always alone in this world."

The ice had spread to Sauro’s neck, causing his speech to become intermittent: “Don’t… look back. When it hurts… you must face it with a smile. Hope will… come… eventually… Dili… hehehe.”

At this point, the ice completely covered Sauro's body, leaving only a smiling face for Robin.

Robin was frightened by what he saw, and turned and fled towards the coast, crying. At the same time, Kuzan came to Sauro, sighed to his old friend, then looked in the direction Robin fled, and finally took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on his face.

She ran while crying, and finally reached the shore after a while, but the person who appeared before her was the terrifying navy man from before.

Robin looked at Kuzan with hatred, trying hard not to let his tears fall.

"Absolute justice can sometimes turn people into murder weapons. I have decided to let you leave the island. Sauro was able to protect you with his life, and your identity is definitely not simple, but I also want to see what the seed he guarded with his life will grow into. Try to live a low profile in the future. You can reach the land by following the ice road on the sea. Whether you live or die in the future depends on your luck."

At this point Kuzan paused and added: "Remember that I am not your accomplice. If I find you committing a crime in the future, I will personally correct today's mistake."

Although Robin didn't understand Kuzan's behavior, she still tried to ask: "My mother and companions are still on the island."

"It's impossible for anyone on the island to be rescued. If you want to die, you are free to do so."

Kuzan's words made Robin completely give up. The little girl got on the boat crying and looked at her burning hometown from afar. The scene that looked like a picture of hell was deeply imprinted in the girl's heart.

……

Leo quickly caught up with the fleeing crowd. The refugee ship had already set sail, but many people were still huddled on the shore, crying and begging to get on board, but received no response. Some even jumped into the sea and swam desperately towards the refugee ship, while others knelt on the shore and cried in despair, watching the refugee ship go away.

Seeing this, Leo didn't care too much, and jumped directly onto the refuge boat with a splash of water under his feet:

"Robin, Robin where are you?"

Leo's behavior aroused the navy's vigilance. It was definitely not an ordinary person to be able to jump directly onto the ship from such a long distance. The navy soldiers quickly gathered on the deck and surrounded Leo.

"Who are you? Please give up resistance and accept inspection, otherwise we will shoot."

Leo was in no mood to waste time talking to the Marines, and with a wave of his arm, bullet-like drops of water instantly knocked down everyone.

The refugees who were already on board were relieved when they saw that Leo seemed to be looking for someone and had no intention of harming them. However, Leo's behavior forced the rescue ship to stop, and everyone began to persuade him.

"That child can't be here. I heard her mother is a serious criminal. How could we allow a criminal's child to board the ship?"

"Yeah, yeah, it's all their fault that O'Hara is destroyed."

"And those scholars who have nothing better to do than study historical texts, aren't they just harming everyone?"

Leo ignored these people and jumped back to the shore. At this time, one of the refugees who stayed on the shore said, "Young man, I saw Robin in the city when I was fleeing. If you want to find her, go quickly."

"Thank you, uncle. You can take shelter here. Maybe you can escape."

When they returned to the town, it was already a scene of hell on earth. The fire mixed with thick smoke made Leo's search more difficult. The moisture in the surrounding air seemed to have been evaporated, and Leo could no longer extract moisture from the air as usual.

But for Robin, he gritted his teeth and entered the burning town.

"Robin, this is Leo, where are you? Ahem."

After searching for a long time without any sign of Robin, Leo felt like he was about to be roasted. Since becoming a user with special abilities, Leo had not experienced this feeling for a long time.

Hey! What is that? A square metal plate caught Leo's attention in the ruins. He walked closer and saw that it was the gift he gave to Robin. How could it be here? Leo mistakenly thought that Robin was buried under the ruins. He was so scared that he immediately took out the kettle, which was filled with sea water. This was Leo's trump card for emergency.

Leo opened the bottle cap and poured out the warm sea water. He used his ability to control the sea water to enter the ruins and sense the situation inside through the sea water. Fortunately, Robin was not here.

Just as he was about to pick up the metal plate for the teleportation array, his hand was burned. The metal plate that had been burned by the fire for a long time was like a branding iron, and there were even signs of melting on the surface. Fortunately, he could barely see the direction of the teleportation indicated on it. Leo thought that maybe Robin had been trapped here and finally chose to teleport to escape, and the direction of the teleportation happened to be the jungle.

With a target in mind, Leo felt full of strength. He immediately rushed out of the town and ran towards the jungle. Soon he arrived at the place where Sauro was fighting with the navy.

Looking at the bullet holes all over the ground, Leo began to worry again. This was the place he and Sauro had agreed to meet, and Robin had also fled here. Maybe she was involved in the battle here and was rescued by Sauro.

Thinking of this, Ao frowned again. Is all this arranged by fate? Why did Robin still meet Sauro? Did Kuzan also appear?

With such doubts, Leo chased far away. Sure enough, three kilometers away from the battlefield, the giant ice sculpture was lying on the ground. It seemed that his guess was right. Fortunately, the future blue chicken held back, but he couldn't just leave Sauro here. After all, being frozen for too long would be fatal. Leo pressed one hand on the ice sculpture, instantly separating the cold air in the ice and turning the ice back into water.

Without the support of solid ice, Sauro's huge body fell directly to the ground. He had frostbite in many places and had fallen into a coma.

Leo thought that since Kuzan appeared, Robin must be in his hands. He didn't know whether Kuzan would let the girl go like in the original book.

The fire had spread to the jungle, and the entire island of O'Hara was burning. The firelight made Leo's face flicker. He had chased to the shore on the other side of the island. There was no one there, but there was a channel made of solid ice on the sea.

Leo looked at the ice and fell into deep thought. In this life, Kuzan probably didn't know that Robin was an archaeologist, and he certainly didn't know that she was Olivia's daughter. So did Kuzan do all this out of sympathy for the child?

Forget it, why think so much, the most important thing is to find Robin. Leo was about to follow along the ice road when he was suddenly stopped by someone.

"Ah, why are you here? Mr. Karp misses you very much."
