One Piece: Under the Throne

Bathed in the cool morning light, the Poseidon sailed into the Mushroom Island Port. This place was different from the bustling Shibao Town. Apart from a few fishing boats operating near the coast, no other people could be seen. The whole port seemed quiet and peaceful.

"Leo please hurry up, your cute little maid is starving."

"Okay, but he's only been in a coma for a day. Eating less than a few meals won't kill you. Just think of it as losing weight."

"Don't tell me that I can't gain weight. Besides, I've already skipped five meals a day."

Leo and Alfu dragged their tired bodies, and at the girl's urging, the three of them entered the town together.

After walking along a dim path, we finally arrived at the downtown area. It was morning so people on the street seemed to be in a hurry. Different from the hometown atmosphere of Shibao Town, people here were dressed like in medieval Europe, with men all wearing suits and women wearing complicated dresses.

Leo also discovered a strange phenomenon. The women here all wear veils when going out. If a woman is alone, she walks very fast. If she is accompanied by a male companion, she walks more normally, but often these women lag half a body length behind their male companions.

Just as Leo was observing the pedestrians, Gloria's urging voice sounded again, and Leo had to look away and start looking for a restaurant along the street.

But Leo and the others didn't notice that while Gloria was yelling, most of the men on the street looked at her with disgust.

As soon as they arrived at the door of the high-end western restaurant, Gloria was the first to rush in. Seeing a girl without a veil coming in, the waiter was stunned at first, and then greeted her with a professional smile: "Welcome to the Elegant Gentleman Western Restaurant, do you have a reservation?"

Leo covered Gloria's mouth and said first: "Is there any room for three people to dine?"

"If you don't have a reservation, please dine in the lobby. This way." Although the waiter had a smile on his face, he always glanced at Leo and the others out of the corner of his eyes while leading the way.

"What's wrong with that guy? Why is he secretly looking at me?"

"Who knows what strange rules there are here? Why do you care so much? The most important thing is to fill your stomach well."

The waiter took them to a seat by the window, which was a relatively secluded spot in the hall.

After the three of them sat down, the waiter handed over today's menu and walked in reluctantly from the entrance. Gloria couldn't wait any longer, so she grabbed it and started pointing at the dishes randomly.

But the waiter didn't look at her, he just kept smiling at Leo and Afu.

Leo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him. He thought this man was very rude and said unhappily, "Serve all the dishes once."

The waiter was not confused by the large amount they ordered and politely asked them if they wanted some wine.

Leo refused the other party, asked for three glasses of juice and sent him away.

Gloria was a little annoyed after being ignored by the waiter: "Shibao Town is still the best. The atmosphere here is really uncomfortable. Leo, Afu, do you feel that people around us are secretly looking at us?"

Leo nodded in agreement: "I don't like it here either. What the hell is this pretending to be upper class? Let's leave right after dinner. I feel uncomfortable if I stay one more second."

Ah Fu said seriously, "The people around us are not looking at us, they are looking at you. And why are those men looking at you with such an indescribable weird expression?"

"Damei, Ah Fu, stop talking. Don't say these disgusting words before eating."

"Well, forget it. Don't take it personally. The main thing is to enjoy the food. I just secretly looked at other customers' orders, and the quality of the dishes here looks pretty good."

Soon the waiter came with a food cart bringing up dishes. At first the three of them ate in an elegant manner.

I have to say that the chef of this restaurant is very skilled. Although he is not as good as Charles, he is still excellent. The delicious food gradually made Gloria forget her current situation. Soon, except for Alfu who was still able to maintain table manners, Leo and Gloria had already let themselves go and started to eat with their plates. The knives and forks collided with the plates, making a clinking sound. Soon, the empty plates on the table piled up into a small mountain.

The waiter had no time to peek at Gloria at this moment. He was pushing the food cart back and forth between the kitchen and the dining table. The wheels of the food cart were almost rubbed with sparks.

I don't know when the other guests in the restaurant stopped eating, and they all looked at Leo and his friends in surprise.

"Burp! I'm so full. I have to eat the same for the next four meals to make up for what I missed yesterday." Gloria lay on the chair, patted her round belly with her little hands and said with squinted eyes.

Leo's stomach was even bigger than Gloria's, and he leaned back in his chair. "I'm relieved to see that you have such a good appetite. Your previous appearance made everyone worried."

"Ahem, I was just a little careless, but Mei Shisan is a good opponent. I will duel with her when I return."

Seeing that Leo and Gloria had entered the Sage Time, Ah Fu stood up to pay the bill. Leo picked his teeth and squinted his eyes to rest, and the murmurs of the people around him were clearly heard.

“Outsiders are so rude.”

"That girl is a disgrace to her companions."

"Shh! Keep your voice down so they can't hear me. I don't want to argue with rude people."

Leo frowned slightly. That was a bit too much! You guys can't even stop talking when we're having a meal. It's really annoying to keep talking. Just when Leo was about to lose his temper, Ah Fu came back after paying the bill and asked them to leave the restaurant together.

"What a bummer! I was having a great time eating, but that group of people ruined my mood." Gloria was also disgusted and complained angrily.

"Don't pay attention to those irrelevant people. Now that we are here, we have to see what the miracle doctor is all about. If the panacea is real, we can buy more and take it away."

……

The three of them walked leisurely on the street. It must be said that without strange people pointing and talking, this town is quite nice. The streets are clean and the architectural style is very tasteful. Just as Leo was admiring the buildings, Gloria suddenly exclaimed.

"Leo, Alfu, look over there, that mountain looks like an umbrella."

Hearing the sound, the two turned around and looked, their expressions suddenly became extremely interesting. Ah Fu quickly forced Gloria to turn her head and said to her seriously: "Girls should not look at such obscene things."

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, Leo smiled awkwardly to smooth things over: "No wonder this place is called Mushroom Island, it really fits the description."

The big mountain behind the town is like a stone pillar inserted into the island. The top of the stone pillar looks like a mushroom cap, but the area of ​​the cap is a bit small, so the shape of the mountain looks so... weird.

Resisting the urge to turn around, the three of them came to the commercial street again. There were many pharmacies on this street, and each of them had signs saying that they had panaceas for sale. Thinking of the vivid mountain, Leo had already begun to imagine the effects of the panacea.
