Chapter 194 - 194. Leo's True Strength!

The countless sword rays fell like rain drops.

Blackbeard had never seen a technique like this one before. However he was experienced enough to realise how terrible it was.

"Dark Tide!"

He raised his arm. A black tide surged out of his palms and covered the sky.

The countless sword rays fell on it and disappeared.

Leo raised an eyebrow and scoffed.

Suddenly the sword rays blinked and got bigger and sharper.

Shit!

Blackbeard cursed. His ability wasn't able to contain those sword rays. It tore through the dark tide and fell on him and his crew.

Slash!

Bang!

The others with him reacted. One of them wore a jailer's uniform.

Leo glanced at him. He knew this guy, Shiliew of the rain. He was a warden at Impel Down, now it seems like he joined a pirate crew.

Under the hail of countless sword rays Blackbeard who appeared with grandiose looked pitiful.

When the sword rain was over Blackbeard and his crew were sweating and some of them were even bleeding.

Leo stepped forward. His figure flashed and he appeared infront of Shiliew.

"So you chose to be a pirate, die."

His black sword sliced down.

Shiliew was extremely serious. His kenbunshoku and busoshoku haki were working to their limits and yet he failed to react in time.

Spurt!

A large wound appeared on his c.h.e.s.t and he was thrown back.

Bang!

Tilting his head Leo dodged the bullet and vanished again.

This time he appeared beside another man who was three times larger than an ordinary person. The guy couldn't react in time.

Sword light flashed and an arm flew up.

"You should have stayed in Impel Down, atleast that way you could live a few more years."

Leo's voice was heard. Those words felt as if it came from hell.

Blackbeard finally reacted and pointed his arms at Leo.

"Black Hole!"

A vortex formed infront of him.

Leo felt a powerful attraction from it. However he stood as steady as a mountain.

"You are very confident to be this lax when facing me."

A cold voice echoed near his ear.

Before Blackbeard could react a powerful force struck his back. His spine slightly cracked and his body felt as if it was being burned.

Ahhhh!

Blackbeard rolled on the ground due to pain. His back was bloodied and his blood dyed the ground.

Leo raised his sword again.

However before he could bring it down several figures assaulted him.

In the face of several strikes aimed at his vitals Leo stayed calm.

"Merciful Rain."

However the end results weren't different.

Blackbeard's crew found it hard to keep up. They were being tied down and sliced apart by countless sword rays.

Even their armament haki was sliced through!

Suddenly a huge man bigger than the marine fortress emerged from behind the island.

"Die!"

The man slammed his fist down on Leo.

Swish!

Leo's figure disappeared.

The man's fist struck the plaza and broke it to pieces.

Leo standing high up in the air spoke, "Sanjuan Wolf, level six prisoner. I know you. You murdered an entire village because it was noisy. How great of you."

Sanjuan Wolf clenched his fist. Busoshoku haki coated his fist.

Leo placed his sword infront of him.

A crazy amount of haki was being transmitted to his sword. The black colour of his sword was turning even blacker and the red shade on it's edge turned even deeper.

"Merciful Rain!"

Dense cl.u.s.ters of sword rays blanketed the sky. It enveloped Leo and Sanjuan Wolf inside.

Armed!

Sanjuan Wolf was startled, he took back his fist and hastily coated his body with haki.

The cl.u.s.ter of sword rays surrounded him. He was like a lone ship amidst the turbulent seas.

A line appeared on his neck, blood was seeping out like there was no end.

Suddenly Leo flashed before him. His sword was raised high.

"Fall."

Slash! Slash!

The sword rays blanketing the sky fell.

Under the assault of numerous sword rays Sanjuan Wolf's huge body was torn to pieces.

Gulp.

The marines swallowed nervously when they saw such a huge form getting torn to pieces.

Garp sighed.

Sengoku also didn't know what to say. Leo was ruthless and every single strike contained deep murderous intent.

Leo slashed his sword and got rid of the blood on it.

He turned his head and focused on Blackbeard.

"Here is Marineford. This is not a place for a sc.u.m like you."

Blackbeard was on his feet, however his face was twisted in pain.

How can this be possible? I have the strongest fruit, why isn't it working against this guy?!

Leo bowed slightly and shot down with incredible speed.

The air created sonic booms as he moved.

Blackbeard was unwilling to leave just like that. He had a plan when he came here, and if everything worked out he would have stolen Whitebeard's fruit ability, but this man was blocking his oath.

"Shit! Let's retreat! Lafitte!"

A pale man wearing a top hat and holding a cane came forward. He pulled out a cloth and blocked Leo's path.

Hm?

Leo was suddenly wrapped by the black cloth. He felt a strange sensation, as if his body was being thrown around.

Suddenly the medallion resting inside his spirit trembled and absorbed the power that was throwing him away.

What?!

Lafitte was startled when he sensed Leo absorbing his ability.

Before he could react a sword came down on him.

Lafitte immediately reacted and wrapped himself with the cloth before disappearing.

"Tch. He got away."

Leo clicked his tongue and looked around.

He was falling down to the sea. There was a shadow in the distance.

"Marineford."

Leo kicked the air and shot forward.

Back on the battlefield.

Lafitte disappeared for a second before reappearing.

However he wasn't as tidy as before. There was a long wound extending from his right shoulder to his waist. One could even see the bones.

"Captain, we should retreat. That guy is a monster."

Lafitte spoke in a shaky tone. He was finding it hard to keep himself from losing consciousness.

Blackbeard looked at Whitebeard's corpse for a second and decided.

"Let's go!"

Boom!

Suddenly sonic booms rang out from the distance.

Though the distance was great Blackbeard could feel a pair of eyes locking onto him!

This guy...

Lafitte used the same black cloth again and wrapped them all with it.

"Die."

An extremely cold voice broke through the air.

Slashhhhh!

A large blue arc of sword light cleaved through the sea and reached the bay before falling on the black cloth.

Shred!

The black cloth was sliced in half. But there was no one inside.

Leo landed steadily on the plaza. He looked at the sliced black cloth for a moment and ignored it.

By the now the marines and the pirates were stunned to their core.

"Was vice admiral Leo always this strong?"

"He sure is strong if he could take out Shiki, but I didn't expect him to this monstrous!"

"Looks like we will have a new admiral in the future!"

The marines whispered among themselves.

Boom!

Suddenly a part of the battlefield blazed with fire and magma.
