One Piece: Under the Throne

Chapter 202: The Innocent Forest Fairy

Haiyuan calendar year 1502, the Flour Island of All Nations.

"The water angel finally appears. We are ready to set sail to meet our old friend." Charlotte Katakuri held the newspaper tightly with such great force that it seemed as if he was going to crush it. Every time he saw Leo's face, he got furious. The scene of their childhood fight seemed to have happened just yesterday.

On Onigashima in Wano Country, a group of strong men were lying down in a huge banquet hall, snoring loudly. An even more burly giant was crying loudly on the first seat, and a fat man with braids was sitting in the first seat on his right.

"What are you looking at so hard, Quinn?"

"It's Brother Jin, I didn't see anything, just an interesting boy in the newspaper."

Jhin glanced at the newspaper, then looked at Quinn deeply and stopped talking.

The Poseidon's re-setting sail attracted the attention of the giants of the New World. The three sea emperors all wanted to meet this young man who was doing so well.

Compared to the tense atmosphere in the New World, at this time on the Poseidon.

"Another song, Gloria Saigao!"

"Charles, this cake is great. I want more."

"Will don't splash water onto the deck."

A noisy atmosphere surrounded the Poseidon. Perhaps it had been a long time since they had gone out to sea together, so the atmosphere on the ship was very warm.

Leo was lying on a beach chair, sunbathing and talking on the phone.

"Really? Boss Tiger, it seems that there is a lot of opposition within the fishmen. Is Otohime okay?"

"Of course, with my men guarding Otohime 24 hours a day, she's fine. But it's also quite dangerous. If it weren't for Jinbei's carefulness, the assassin would have succeeded. I didn't expect that there would be such an extreme fishman in Neptune's king's army."

"Anyway, the result is good. Princess Otohime has established a relationship with the Celestial Dragons, which will make the fishmen's situation easier. The Sun Pirates have also been rewarded for escorting the Celestial Dragons back to the Holy Land. What reward did those five old men give you?"

"Hahahaha, the other party promised Otohime that they would restrict the rest of the Celestial Dragons from buying and selling slaves from Fish-Man Island, and also allow the Fish-Man tribe to join the navy."

"That's great. With the endorsement of those five old guys, if any human traffickers dare to target your compatriots, you can kill them openly. It would be even better if you can completely stop the Tianlong people from buying and selling murlocs."

"Yes, all of this is thanks to you. Thank you, Leo. Thank you for everything you have done for Fishman Island."

"Oh my, I won't be too happy if you, a bastard, praise me!"

Tiger: ...

"Just kidding, hahaha. What are your plans next?"

"I have discussed this with Otohime, and the plan to get our compatriots back to the surface of the sea can be implemented."

"Is that so? Then I suggest that you build a new Fishman Island in the Calm Belt first, and don't have too much contact with humans for the time being. Your compatriots are still too naive, and I'm afraid they will be deceived."

"Well, I will convey your suggestion to Otohime, and I hope everything goes well."

After hanging up the phone, Leo smiled. The murlocs were safe this time. At least their situation was much better than in the original book. Thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief. The ten-year plan was finally successful.

"Will, I have good news for you."

……

At the same time in the North Sea, Doflamingo was reading the news in the newspaper about the Poseidon's re-setting sail. His face was calm, with no sadness or joy, and no one knew what he was thinking behind his sunglasses.

"Young Master, everything is ready. When are we going to set off?"

"Ffufufu, set sail immediately. Torrebol told his men to cheer up, a new era is coming."

The Flamingo then rushed up the Upside-Down Mountain and entered the Grand Line.

……

After two weeks of sailing, Dressrosa Island was within reach.

"Leo, there's a pirate ship ahead. It looks like they just experienced a battle. The ship looks tattered."

"Can you confirm the other party's identity?"

"It's a pirate flag I've never seen before."

"So you're a little jerk. I'll leave Gloria to you, Will."

This is the third pirate group Leo has encountered since he went out to sea again. The pirates in the New World are of very high quality, and there are many capable people and those who are proficient in domineering. Unlike the rookies in the first half of the Grand Line, the pirates in the New World still maintain their old style. They are all fearless and never leave their backs to the enemy.

Every time Leo sees pirates like this, it reminds him of the Sphinx Defense War when he was a kid: "Damn, these bastards actually bring back bad memories for me."

A nameless anger suddenly ignited in Leo's heart, and the angry emotion also affected the surrounding sea.

On the pirate ship, injured pirates were bandaging each other. The captain was a young man with a gloomy face. He sat in the first seat with one hand leaning on a sword and the other hand on his knee. The doctor beside him was carefully treating his arm injury.

"Damn you Cyrus, you dare to snatch a woman from me? Wait, next time you come, I will humiliate you in front of Scarlett."

"Captain, there is a ship ahead..."

Swish! Before he could finish his words, the pirate's head was chopped off. The young man in the lead said angrily: "You still have to report such a small matter? I'm not in a good mood today. Sink it for me."

The other pirates were already silent after seeing what happened to their companions, but before they could make any move, all of them showed expressions of horror at the same time.

A wave a hundred meters high rose up, and the shadow of the wave blocked the sun. Then, without giving the pirates a chance to escape, the huge wave swept away both the people and the boat.

People's anger is different. For some people, it is called impotent rage, while for some people, their anger is comparable to a natural disaster.

On the Poseidon, Gloria pouted and looked at Leo helplessly: "Captain, what are you doing?"

"Hey, hey, I just felt bad and wanted to vent. I won't interfere next time."

As a battle maniac, Gloria was very dissatisfied with Leo's behavior of stealing monsters. The emotions that had accumulated for a year were suddenly interrupted just when they were about to burst out, which made her even more unhappy.

So Gloria could only swing her hammer-shaped weapon and act like a spoiled brat on the deck. The wind from the hammer messed up Leo's hair, which made him feel uneasy.

"Ahahaha, brothers, we're almost at our destination, everyone get ready."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Dressrosa Island now looked very environmentally friendly, but to put it bluntly, it was a very backward island. The friends really didn't understand what to expect from such an island.

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you looking at? Our destination is Greenbit Island, bypassing Dressrosa."

"Greenbit? x7"

"Yes, that is the hometown of the forest fairies, and also the hometown of Mansherry."

"Manshirley? The bad-tempered little human princess?" Alfu recalled the 3-inch-tall little girl who helped a lot when Ginny was being treated.

Leo shrugged. It seemed that the willful little princess had become everyone's consensus. "Yes, that's her. The Tontata Kingdom is on Greenbit Island. They are a group of very interesting little people."

Victoria suddenly became interested. She had a good relationship with Manshirley: "Manshirley's country? I'm really looking forward to it! What kind of race is the Captain's Dwarf Tribe?"

Everyone's eyes were focused on Leo. "The Dwarfs are also called the Tontatas. They are about three inches tall on average. Although they are small, they are naturally strong and agile. They are very naive and easily trust others. They hate being deceived and worship heroes."

"The reason why they are called the Forest Fairies is because the current King Riku of Dressrosa made up a legend to prevent anyone from disturbing the Tontata clan. However, this legend is quite vivid and true."

"Oh! x7"

Ah Fu raised a question: "Since the Dwarfs are so powerful, why didn't King Riku recruit them to surround the country?"

"That's a long story. Dressrosa was originally the territory of the Donquixote family. 800 years ago, the Donquixote family became celestial dragons and left their hometown. King Riku's ancestor succeeded Dressrosa and became the new king. Unlike the Donquixote family who enslaved the Tontata clan, King Riku's ancestor apologized to the dwarfs and promised not to bother them again. That's why the legend of the forest fairies came into being."

Ah Fu frowned when he heard this, "Stupid! The Riku royal family just gave up their powerful power? It's abominable that the Donquixote family enslaved the little people, but it's clear that as long as the new king can treat the Tontata people equally, they can get powerful warriors. Why did they give up for such a ridiculous reason? It seems that the Riku family is not fit to be king."

Victoria retorted: "Maybe the dwarfs value freedom, and they don't want to get along with humans, so King Riku made this decision."

"As a king, you must unite all the forces that can be united to protect the country. Whether recruiting or hiring, you cannot allow such a powerful force to survive uncontrolled around you."

Victoria cried with tears in her eyes: "Afu is a bad person."

Leo laughed, patted Victoria's head and helped her tidy up her hair. "You are wronging Alfu. The dwarfs need to eat just like us. Since their lifestyle is very primitive, there are often cases of dwarfs stealing things from Dressrosa. If King Riku could have reached a cooperation with the Tontata tribe, it would actually be a win-win situation."

"Leo, you mean that the Riku royal family did something wrong."

Recalling the foolish act of King Riku compromising with pirates in order to protect the people in the original work, Leo said seriously: "The Riku clan's love for this country should be affirmed, but their abilities and practices do not match their status. Look, 800 years have passed, and Dressrosa is still the same as it is today. Being weak in the New World is a sin. The Riku clan not only did not invite the navy to station troops, but also refused to submit to the emperor of the sea. You will see that disaster will come soon."

After ending this depressing topic, Leo and his group landed on Greenbit Island. After arriving on the island, Leo mysteriously pushed out a big box.

"Each of the companions should wear one on their heads."

"What is this? It's so ugly!"

The girls looked at the chestnut headdresses in their hands with disgust and complained to Leo.

"Wulusai, take it quickly, this is the pass."

Helplessly, everyone could only succumb to the captain's tyranny and put on the ugly chestnut headdress. After everyone was dressed, Leo was the first to walk into the forest with great interest.

Greenbit Island has a good ecological environment, with lush trees, singing birds and fragrant flowers. Walking in the woods makes Leo feel like he is back home.

Suddenly Ah Fu asked in a low voice: "Captain, someone is watching us."

"It's okay, it should be the Tontata tribe, let these little cuties follow."

As they went deeper, they felt more and more like they were being watched. Suddenly, an open space appeared in front of them. Before Leo and his group could get close, several small figures blocked their way.

"Stop, sir. This is not where you should be... huh? What is that?"

Before the Tontata guard could finish his words, the little people were attracted by the head shape of Leo and his group. They widened their eyes and their jaws dropped to the ground in shock.

After a short silence, the Tontata guard bowed and said, "So you are the descendant of a hero."

Leo's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a wicked smile: "Hello, warriors of the Dongtata tribe, I am Leo Lando!"
