Chapter 220 - 220. Leo's Crew

When Leo and Shinobu started as marines they were alone in their endeavours. Every problem that came their way had to be taken care of by them personally.

Frankly with their level of strength it was like using a hammer to break an egg.

Now it's different.

Mace, Dali, Flare, Violet and Issho. These five represent strength equalling to a Yonko subordinate, the three disasters, the sweet commanders, Beckman, Yasopp...

With their strength they can stand proudly in New World.

And as marines, their discipline is without doubt.

Gravity Blade!

Issho raised his cane sword and swung it down. A purple glow covered the blade of his sword.

The island trembled for a moment and settled. Huge waves started to roll over, blocking the fleet's retreat path.

Strength erupted from his body. He flashed before Mace and jabbed his finger.

Mace gripped his large broad sword. Sword rays started to condense on his blade as he countered the chief's attack.

Bang!

The CP chief deserved his title. His finger fell on Mace's sword and pushed him back.

"Sir said to make this quick, he won't blame me if I use it from the get go, right?"

Mace muttered to himself.

The chief was about to move in for another attack. Mid way through he saw Mace's body change.

His hair grew longer and turned into a deep shade of red. His skin had many black markings. A savage aura spread out from him.

What the?! A devil fruit!!

As a veteran fighter the CP chief immediately identified what caused Mace's change.

So what if you transform?

The chief scoffed. He clad his arms in busoshoku haki and jabbed at Mace.

Mace took a deep breath. His mouth was like a vacuum as it s.u.c.k.e.d in all of the air around him. His c.h.e.s.t started to swell up like a balloon.

A sense of danger took over the chief.

Ashura's Wrath!

Mace roared. He spat out a long column of red fire towards the CP chief.

Tekkai!

Armed!

The CP chief didn't have enough time to dodge. He used Tekkai as well as haki to block it.

A loud eruption took place. The sea was set ablaze for a short moment before vapour blocked everyone's sight.

The two vice chiefs were startled. They lost focus for a moment.

Dali and Flare closed in on them and cleaved down with their swords.

Dammit!

The two vice chiefs cursed and blocked it using Tekkai.

It was at this moment they felt a sense of danger envelope their bodies. Their heart trembled from fear.

Spurt!

One of the vice chiefs looked down at his c.h.e.s.t in shock and disbelief. Blood was starting to dye his white clothes.

Flare grinned at him and said, "There are five of us, you idiot."

"Goodbye."

Flare waved his sword and took away the last bit of life in him.

The other vice chief was sweating behind his mask. He saw what happened a second ago.

That split second when they were distracted and pushed back, a bullet pierced through the air and dug a hole in the other vice chief.

His eyes darted around, trying to find the sniper. From the information they had the woman seems to be the sniper, however they had far underestimated her abilities.

She was able to perfectly utilize a moment of fault during combat and perfectly land a strike. That kind of precision and decisiveness put her on the same level as those famous snipers all around the world.

"Focus."

Dali flashed before him and slashed with his sword. The vice chief blocked it with his right arm and kicked out.

Dali dodged it and countered.

Flare wasn't worried about Dali losing so he sheathed his sword and waited.

On the other side.

Mace placed his broad sword on his shoulder and waited for the vapour to clear. His kenbunshoku haki was still picking up the chief's presence.

Well, It would be embarrassing if he died so easily.

Mace said to himself.

When the vapour cleared the chief's body became visible. His neat suit was now torn in some places and his right arm had a large burn on it.

"You hid your strength well."

Mace could sense the underlying tone in his words and smirked.

His body suddenly flashed.

The chief took a deep breath. His body also disappeared from sight.

Boom!

Two vague shadows flashed through the air and clashed from time to time, creating loud bangs through the sky.

After several minutes both shadows separated.

Mace was slightly panting however he was fine apart from that.

As for the CP chief, he had a wound on his c.h.e.s.t.

"What are you planning? Hiding such battle prowess from the navy as well as the World Government."

His eyes were focused on Leo who was enjoying the sun.

Leo grinned and didn't speak.

Mace curled his lips and attacked again. This time someone else joined him.

Issho waved his sword glowing with purple colour.

The CP chief knew his end was near. He gritted his teeth and took Mace's attack head on. By doing so he managed to dodge Issho's sword strike.

However just as he managed to avoid certain death his kenbunshoku haki picked up an object whistling in his direction.

Oh no!

Spurt!

The chief looked down and found a hole in his c.h.e.s.t. He laughed bitterly as the last of his strength left him. He fell down and crashed into the sea.

"Tsk! She always manages to take the spot light."

Flare clicked his tongue.

Dali looked at him in disdain, "If you have her marksmanship you can take the spotlight all you want."

Flare shrugged at his response.

Issho landed on the beach and sheathed his cane sword.

The waves blocking the warsh.i.p.s crashed into them and buried them to the depths of the sea.
