One Piece: Under the Throne

Chapter 131 The Excluded Musical Genius

"Please, can you hum it again?" The bad girl looked at Leo with a flattering face.

"Disgusting. There's no point in acting like a spoiled child. I won't teach you." Leo pushed the girl away, as if he was shooing away a fly.

But Leo underestimated the bad girl's perseverance. No matter how many times she was rejected, she refused to give up. After being pushed away, she became even more aggressive. In the end, she hugged Leo's thighs and refused to let go no matter what.

"I want to learn, I want to learn, just teach me the song, stingy guy."

"Fuck, it fell off, stop pulling my pants, it's annoying, let go." Leo felt like he was going crazy, desperately pulling his pants, swinging his legs wildly, trying to throw the bad girl out. Why didn't I realize that women are such troublesome creatures before?

Ah Fu couldn't bear to watch it any longer: "Why don't you just teach her? It's just a song."

Leo was very stubborn: "That was my former belief. It's wishful thinking for me to teach such bad things."

"Who are you calling a bad boy, you bastard? Stop looking down on me. As long as you are willing to teach me, I will be able to play it perfectly."

"Really, no matter how you look at it, you look like an uneducated guy."

"Don't judge people by appearances. I call this fashion. Playing music is nothing. I was able to perform on stage when I was five years old."

"Let go of your hand first, and let's talk it over."

The girl also felt that her actions were somewhat ambiguous. She blushed slightly and let go of Leo: "Hello stranger, my name is Gloria, I'm a musician from Beka and a member of the God's Band."

Leo looked at Gloria with suspicion: "Hello, my name is Leo, these two are my companions Afu and Prime Minister, we are navigators from Qinghai."

Gloria's eyes lit up: "You are from Qinghai? I see. No wonder you can sing such an exciting song. It's really great."

"Oh? You also know Qinghai?"

"Of course, I have always been looking forward to going to Qinghai in person one day. By the way, my first musical instrument came from Qinghai. It was a guitar."

After communicating, Leo found that Gloria really understood music, so he hummed the tune of Blue Bird to her. Gloria learned very quickly and memorized it completely after humming along twice. Then she couldn't wait to go back and perform, and invited Leo and the other two to be her audience.

When Gloria, Leo and the other two passed through the town, the originally kind residents avoided her with disgust on their faces. Gloria was like a human silencer, stopping the noise wherever she went.

Leo and the other two who followed behind also began to be pointed at by others, which changed their good impression of the residents of Bica.

Prime Minister: "Why do I feel something strange is going on around me?"

Ah Fu: "Everyone seems to be talking about us."

Leo: "See, I told you she's a delinquent. I guess we're considered her accomplices."

Gloria: "Hey, sorry, I don't have a very good reputation in this town. Please be patient, we'll be there soon."

Finally leaving the town, Leo found that those strange looks were gone. Gloria let out a long sigh. It seemed that she was not as indifferent as she acted.

Gloria's home was behind a small hill not far from the town. It was only a short walk across the town. Leo saw the uniquely-architected house at a glance. Like Gloria's appearance, the exterior of this small house was also very ostentatious.

Originally, this should have been a house with a similar architectural style to the others in town, but the outer walls were covered with graffiti, making it look colorful. When Gloria stood in front of the door, she really looked like a street artist.

When they got closer, Leo and the other two found that the door was written with "Home of Gloria and Her Servants". It seemed that she didn't live alone. Servants? An image of Gloria wearing a leather coat and holding a whip suddenly appeared in Leo's mind, and he suddenly felt a chill.

He shook his head vigorously to get rid of the image, and saw Gloria staring at him with strange eyes: "Leo, were you thinking of something rude just now?"

What a perceptive fellow, could she also use the telepathy? Although his guess was correct, Leo had to shake his head to deny it, after all, that scene was really rude.

"Hmph! You liar! You wait here, I'll go get the guitar."

There are several cloud-made stools on the open space in front of the house. It seems that this is where she usually practices.

Soon Gloria came out with a guitar on her back. To Leo's surprise, it was an electric guitar. He looked around. You're playing an electric guitar for us in this wilderness? Are you kidding?

“Your guitar…”

"I know I need to turn on the power. Don't worry, I have a way." As he said that, he put the power cord of the guitar around his waist in the surprised eyes of the three people.

Then she actually played the music. Gloria's behavior shocked Leo, but as the music of the Blue Bird sounded, he gradually shifted his attention to the music and finally became addicted to it.

At the end of the song, Gloria was indeed a musical genius, as she could play so perfectly without any speakers or effects.

Leo and the other two clapped their hands and thanked Gloria for playing for them. Gloria seemed to have not enjoyed applause for a long time. She even blushed for a moment. Only now did she look like an ordinary girl.

Suddenly Leo sighed and said with some regret: "It would be even more perfect if there was a band playing. It's not satisfying to just listen to the guitar solo."

Gloria said excitedly: "So this is a song played by a band? What other instruments are needed? I should have them here."

Leo: "Let me think about it. It seems to be a drum set, electric guitar, keyboard, harmonica, violin, trumpet... Anyway, there are a lot of them. You can't possibly have these instruments."

Hearing the strange names of the instruments coming out of Leo's mouth, Gloria's eyes lit up: "Are these all Qinghai's instruments? Great, I really want to hear their sounds with my own ears."

"I have a harmonica at home. What about a drum set? How about taiko? As for the others, I've never heard of them. It's a pity that I can't play them for you."

"Even if there is, no one will play with you. Look at us, none of us looks like we can play an instrument."

"Yes, my slave is here."

"That's just the two of you."

"No, I have five slaves."

"5..." The scene in Leo's mind popped up again. This time it was going to be a little more exciting. It was really fun to be young.

Duang! Gloria punched Leo on the top of the head, "Asshole, you're thinking about something rude again."

“Hehehe, I’m sorry I couldn’t help myself. Since someone wants to play with you, I’ll take care of the instruments.”

Gloria, who was angry, forgot her anger instantly when she heard that Leo could solve the problem of the musical instrument. She excitedly hugged Leo's head with both hands and shook it hard, laughing as she shook it.

"Mmm...mmmm...I'm running out of energy...let go...of me."
