Chapter 223 - 223. Pedro Leaves

Pedro is headed towards Big Mom with Luffy?

Leo had a bad feeling when he heard Zeke. He knew Pedro very well, he was his first genuine friend in this world.

He knew of Pedro's past as well his loss. But what he didn't understand was, why would Pedro suddenly decide to leave with Luffy?

"Zeke, Zena, when did they leave?"

"Just a few hours ago? Big brother, I... I don't know why but-but I feel like big bro Pedro..."

Leo cut her off and said solemnly, "Zena, nothing will happen to Pedro. I will bring him back to you, I promise."

"Hm."

Zena hummed in response. Leo hung up.

"Knowing Pedro he may not have plans to come back."

Shinobu said.

Leo had an angry look on his face, "I didn't spent all that time mending that fool's spirit just so that he could go off on a suicide mission!"

Shinobu had a questioning look on her face, "Why would Pedro leave with Luffy?"

Leo stood up. He grabbed his sword and said, "I don't know. But I am gonna find out from that bastard."

Shinobu smiled and waved him off, "Don't beat him too hard."

As Leo rushed off the island he ordered through his den-den mushi.

"Flare, get the crew. We are going to Totto Land!"

The den-den mushi was a connected one. Issho, Mace and the rest heard the orders as well.

"Totto Land!?"

All of the were surprised when they heard the order.

"Sir, what about the rest of us?"

Leo said, "Right now we have been declared criminals by Navy HQ and the World Government. The marines won't move against us but that won't be the case for the World Government."

"I need the rest of you stay here, before I come back not a single soul must step foot on my island."

"Yes, sir!!"

Leo put away the den-den mushi. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

Big Mom, if anything happens to Pedro, I will bury you with your kingdom.

...

While Leo was rushing towards Totto Land, something interesting was happening there.

Luffy and his crew along with Pedro and Carrot were running through a forest that seems to be alive.

"Run faster! That monster is catching up!"

Nami smacked the tree they were riding on and yelled.

Far behind them was Big Mom chasing after them on Prometheus. She had a crazy look on her face.

Suddenly she pulled back her sword and slammed it forward.

Vroom!!

A blast of air shot out with incredible speed and momentum. It carved out a path through the forest.

"Ahh!! Dodge! Dodge!"

Nami and Chopper were in tears as they yelled from the top of their lungs. The tree beneath them also seems to have sensed the danger.

It's short stubby legs worked faster and picked up speed while jumping to the side.

Boom!!

The shockwave just barely missed them. It made long trench through the forest and ended up creating a large hole through the buildings upfront.

"Big Mom is strong!"

Luffy commented with a serious look on his face.

Nami smacked his head and glared at him, "If you have any funny thoughts, I'm gonna kill you!"

Her red eyes poured a bucket of cold water on Luffy. He immediately sat down obediently.

"Move! Move! I can see the Sunny, just a bit more! You can do it!"

Nami and Chopper tried to encourage the tree who seems to be paralysed in fear.

Watching Big Mom get close the tree shivered. It immediately got up and ran.

This time the forest around them started to sway. The trees, big and small blocked their path.

"Block them!"

"Mama will get angry!"

The forest rang with voices.

This was Big Mom's devil fruit ability. She had made an entire forest into her homies.

Suddenly the tree they were riding on grew angry. It growled and increased it's speed.

Like a mad bull it ploughed through the dense cl.u.s.ter of trees.

"Yay! Keep it up!"

"We are almost there!"

Nami and Chopper cheered.

However it was at this moment they heard the sound of an explosion.

A huge force rocked the tree they were on.

The tree they were on lost a big chunk of it's body. The shockwave blasted through the forest and crushed everything in it's path.

Pedro grabbed Nami and landed safely.

Brooke saw how close Big Mom was and spoke seriously, "This is bad."

Big Mom looked like an insane beast. Every step she took made the earth rumble.

Suddenly Nami got an idea. She took out her Clima Tact and waved it at a Zeus, a homie made from Big Mom's soul.

A thunder egg was released to the sky. Zeus's mouth watered when he saw the thunder egg. He immediately left Big Mom and swallowed it.

His cloud shaped body gave off sparks when he ate it. Nami's eyes lit up. She released a whole bunch of thunder eggs before running towards Sunny.

"Let's go!"

The rest didn't know what was happening. However they trusted Nami and ran to Sunny.

Zeus ate every single thunder egg and let out a loud burp. However lightning came out of his mouth when he burped.

"You idiot!"

Prometheus, the other homie, cursed when he saw Zeus.

Zeus was now the size of a small hill. His body had turned dark with sparks emerging from time to time.

However that wasn't the end. His body kept on swelling up, as his body size increased lightning flashed on his body constantly.

"Shit! He ate too much!"

Prometheus cursed.

Zeus was made of lightning. When his body acc.u.mulated a certain amount of lightning he would have no choice but to release it.

And that was exactly what was happening right now.

Lightning rumbled.

Zeus's body flashed for a second before erupting. Lightning flashed everywhere.

And Big Mom was right in the middle of this eruption.
