Chapter 177 - 177. His Justice

The Tenryuubito was frightened when his pistol suddenly crumbled. He looked around and found who spoke.

Pointing his finger at Leo he yelled, "A damned marine has the courage to attack a Tenryuubito, kill him!"

The agents standing beside the Tenryuubito hesitated for a moment before plunging at Leo.

"You sold yourselves to such a wretched human being. A man can not have many things in his life, but he must absolutely have dignity."

He stepped forward slowly. The agents rushed at him in an instant. The Tenryuubito expected Leo to be beaten to death but nothing happened.

Leo walked past the agents who came to a stop just inches away from him.

Thud! Thud!

One by one they fell down.

"How...

The Tenryuubito took a step back in shock.

Leo's eyes turned sharp as murderous intent leaked out of him.

"You called a marine your dog. What gave you the courage to trample upon men who risk their lives to protect peace?"

"You look down on ordinary people and are disgusted by them. You are human, as are we. You walk with two legs, as do we. Your blood is red, as are ours. You breathe the same air, as do we."

"Then what the f.u.c.k makes you so arrogant? Or are none of what I said right? Shall we find out?"

Like a ghost Leo appeared before the Tenryuubito. His sword was already on it's path to his neck.

The marines standing around paled. They never expected Leo to attack a Tenryuubito!

"Vice admiral Leo, don't!"

They yelled to stop him but Leo didn't falter. His eyes were cold as an ice tundra.

Suddenly a blinding ray of light flashed and stood infront of the Tenryuubito.

"Oooh~ You should calm down."

The light condensed and everyone saw who it was.

Admiral Kizaru!

"I am very calm, Admiral Kizaru. Now, if you would please step aside. I need to check whether he is different from us or not."

Leo calmly stared at Kizaru and spoke. His voice was very soft but Kizaru could feel the danger in his words.

"Leo, you are very clear about the consequences of those actions."

Kizaru said back.

Leo pointed to the marine who was trampled by the Tenryuubito and said, "Do you understand?"

Kizaru rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He could roughly figure out what happened. Leo wasn't in the wrong to get angry, but that and attacking a Tenryuubito was completely different.

"Just calm down, let's not make a fool out of ourselves. We will talk about this back at headquarters."

Leo stared at Kizaru for a good one minute and sheathed his sword.

"What are you doing!? Capture that man!"

Just when everyone thought everything was over, the Tenryuubito flared up and yelled at Kizaru.

Kizaru frowned. Why can't these imbeciles stay still for a moment.

Leo glanced at the Tenryuubito for a second and walked away. The marines saluted Kizaru and dispersed as well.

"What are you doing!? Where the hell are you going!? Capture him! Capture him!"

The Tenryuubito pointed at Leo and yelled out in anger.

"The Tenryuubito is quite tired and fell asleep, take him back to Mariejois."

A couple of marines obeyed and took away the Tenryuubito.

Marineford.

Kizaru gave a report of everything that happened to Sengoku. Garp was also there snacking on rice crackers.

"I told you, Sengoku."

"Shut up!"

Sengoku threw a stack of paper at Garp and yelled.

He let out a sigh and said, "Let Leo get back to his island. Don't send any more missions his way till the war is over."

An officer saluted and left with Sengoku's instructions.

"Garp, look at the mess your grandson made!!"

"Bwahaha, he is a lot like me when I was younger!"

Sengoku grabbed Garp's collar and growled at him, "You have cheek to smile!?"

"Maa, calm down. Here, have some crackers."

Sengoku grabbed the packet and emptied it all into his mouth.

"Not all of it!"

...

Leo was in a bad mood when he returned to his island.

Just as he got off the ship Snow swooped down from the sky and landed on his shoulder.

She rubbed her snowy head on his cheeks and let out a happy yelp.

"Look at you."

Leo's mind eased up a bit when he saw Snow.

Kiii, Kiii

Snow waved her wings and made sounds at Leo.

"Hm? You found something in the forest?"

After spending so much time with Snow Leo was able to understand her somewhat.

Right now, Snow said she found something out in the forest. Curious as to what it was Leo followed her.

After walking for while he came across a stretch of broken trees. Right in the middle of these broken trees was a peculiar pit. Leo had spiritual sense, so he got an eagle view of the pit's shape, it looked like a paw.

What was interesting wasn't the pit itself but what was in it. It was person.

What's happening? Why would that guy send him here?

Who else could it be other than Zoro.

Kiii, Kiii

Snow circled around Zoro and made sounds. She was waiting for Leo to praise her.

"Haha, you little rascal. Do you who this is, a pirate."

Snow tilted her head in confusion.

Leo shook his head and picked up Zoro and his swords.

"Well, first things first, this guy lost a lot of blood. Gotta give him emergency treatment. Luckily he fell here."

Leo and Snow went back home. Shinobu was inside her laboratory when Leo walked in with Zoro. She was surprised when she saw Zoro and looked at Leo.

"Don't look at me, I found him out back in the forest."

"Put him there."

Shinobu pointed to an open space.

Leo put him down. Shinobu came out with a bunch of bandages and drugs. She started her work, since he had no place here Leo left.

He couldn't help but think about the true purpose behind Kuma's actions.

What the hell is that guy thinking?
