154 154. Fighting A Yonko!

Leo's sword hummed. The blackish red blade sent out a ripple across the air. A ruthless glint flashed in his cold blue eyes as he slashed down.

"Merciful Rain!"

His sword swung down incredibly fast. A blue line followed his sword and appeared in mid air.

Katakuri's eyes widened when Leo slashed his sword. An incredulous look appeared in his face.

Slash!

Before he could react a blue sword ray flashed through the air and fell on him. It collided with his arms clad in busoshoku haki and created sparks.

How can this be!?

Katakuri roared at the top of his lungs and pushed forward. His arms swelled up as he used every ounce of strength he had.

His busoshoku haki turned took an even darker tone as power surges through his arms.

However the blue sword ray pushed forward with tremendous momentum.

Puff!!

Katakuri couldn't hold back anymore. The sword ray forcefully broke through his defence and slashed across his chest. The incredible power behind that slash send him flying.

He crashed into the walls of Impel Down.

Boom!

The walls of Impel Down made from the strongest of materials and lined with kairoseki stones shook, it cracked and caved in, forming a pit. Katakuri spewed out blood and slid down from the wall. He crashed onto the ground and didn't get up.

Big Mom pirates were shocked when they saw Katakuri fall.

"How is this possible?"

"Katakuri-sama was defeated...

Disbelief and shock were written across their faces. Their morale dimmed.

"Oooh! Men, kill these pirates!"

However the marines seems to have been injected with chicken blood as they cheered and rushed forward.

The officers of Big Mom pirates who were just below Sweet Commanders had an ugly expression on their faces.

"How could he defeat big bro Katakuri?"

Every one of them had blind faith in Katakuri. He was their undefeated god of war.

"Let's go kill that bastard."

"Yeah, I am sure he must be drained after fighting big bro."

Several officers rushed at Leo however a figure swiftly blocked their way.

"I would prefer if you don't interfere."

Shinobu had a smile on her face as she stopped their advance.

A hardened expression came over everyone's face, "Vice admiral Shinobu!"

"Get the fuck out of our way!"

One of the officers rushed at Shinobu.

Perespero was startled and yelled, "Don't!"

However he was a step too late. Shinobu had already made her move, she appeared before that officer and waved her hand.

The officer fell down the next moment. His body turned purple and he lost consciousness.

"Get back! She is proficient in poison!"

Shinobu's ability was already known to them after she killed Amande and a whole crowd of pirates. They were scared to have her as an opponent as they wouldn't even know when they would be poisoned.

With Shinobu holding back the officers Leo didn't have to worry about the marines being on the back foot.

He turned his focus onto Big Mom and Aokiji.

Big Mom deserved the title of a Yonko. She had the upper hand while fighting Aokiji.

He kicked the ground and rushed at Big Mom. He was joining their fight!

Aokiji noticed Leo. He let out a breath of cold air as he stabbed with his hand at Big Mom.

"Ice Spike!"

His hand turned into a spike and pierced towards Big Mom.

Big Mom simply slashed at Aokiji's attack. Her tremendous power and Haki broke the ice spike and pushed back Aokiji.

Right at this moment Leo rushed at her. A wisp of sword ray cut across the air and flew towards Big Mom.

"Lightning!"

The homie Zeus beneath her feet grew bigger and spat out a piece of lightning.

Crackle!

Leo's attack was destroyed by the lightning.

Big Mom turned her head and glared at Leo. Her eyes were extremely menacing.

She suddenly drew back her sword.

Aokiji's expression faltered when he saw it, as did Leo's. Both of them sensed a tremendous amount of power building up on her sword.

Ikaku Sovereignty!

When her power peaked she swung her sword. Aokiji elementised himself and retreated.

Leo wasn't fast enough and couldn't only use his body to block it.

A powerful blast of air fell on his body. He was flung away and crashed into the main tower of Impel Down.

Boom! Crack!

The blow was so strong that the incredibly sturdy walls of Impel Down cracked.

Leo spewed out blood. He could feel his bones tremble and his organs rattle from that strike.

His white shirt was dyed with his own blood.

However Leo's eyes were extremely focused even under such conditions. He glared coldly at Big Mom and rushed at her.

Aokiji minimised the damage he took and joined Leo.

"Prometheus!"

Big Mom yelled.

Her flame hairs started to burn wildly and whipped a long strand at Leo and Aokiji.

"Merciful Rain!!"

Leo's busoshoku haki was focused and his intent was condensed as he sliced down his sword.

"Ice Age!"

Aokiji punched with his fist and blasted a stream of cold air at Big Mom.

Boom! Boom!

A line of blue sword energy and a stream of cold air struck at Big Mom's flaming hair and created a shockwave.

Aokiji and Leo were thrown away while Big Mom took over dozens of step back.

She was shocked inside, then a wave of rage hit her.

How dare a puny marine push me back!

She raised her sword again and swung it down.

Ikaku Sovereignty!

Having been hit once Leo didn't want to experience it again.

Soru!

He moved incredibly fast and dodged the attack. It missed him by a hair breath.

Aokiji was an admiral and a logia fruit user, he was able to dodge it with ease.

Both of had solemn expression on their faces. Big Mom was far stronger than they could handle.

Leo was injured and Aokiji alone wouldn't be able to make her retreat. If Leo also fell then it would be impossible to contain this monster.

As Aokiji was thinking for a solution when he Leo spoke "Get me an opening."

Aokiji was taken back and asked solemnly, "How confident are you?"

Leo had his eyes on Big Mom, his eyes were sharp as he said confidently, "100 percent!"
