258 258. The Unknown Ruler
The five elders watched solemnly as several figures stepped out of the space ripple.
One of the five elders, an old man with a sword spoke coldly, "Leo Heart, so you're working with the revolutionary army!!"
The person leading the group of people stepping out of the space ripple was Leo. Beside him was the most wanted man by the World Government.
Monkey.D.Dragon!
The elders stared coldly at Dragon.
Dragon curled his lips into a derisive smile.
Another elder who had thick mustache stared at a particular person within the group, "Aokiji, you should be very clear as to what would entail when you step with this group!"
A tall man wearing a white suit with blue inner shirt stood among beside Leo. This was one of the current admirals of Navy HQ, Aokiji!
Aokiji replied, "I know."
The elders stared at this group of people with murderous intent.
Besides Leo, Aokiji and Dragon, there was also Issho, Dali and Flare.
All these people had considerable battle capabilities.
At this moment another silhouette rushed out from the palace.
This man had spiky hair and sturdy arms which radiated immense strength.
Former Fleet Admiral, Steel Bone Kong!
Kong looked at Leo and the others. He paused at Aokiji with complex emotions. After a moment he shook them off and got ready for battle.
Leo looked at Kong and said, "You were a marine before, so I'll say this once. Step down. It's not worth it to die for these scum."
Kong stared at Leo for a few seconds. His brows were furrowed. What's giving him such confidence when he is right at the center of his enemies territory.
One of the elders saw Kong's reaction and spoke coldly, "Kong, you aren't seriously considering that these ignorant fools could succeed?"
Kong didn't reply. He looked at Leo and the latter stared at him calmly. There was no fluctuations in the latter's eyes.
Finally Kong gritted his teeth and stepped back.
"Kong!!"
One of the elders growled.
Dozens of Shadows rushed out from every direction and surrounded the area. These people were all wearing white clothes.
Leo spread out his spiritual sense and narrowed his eyes. There were a lot of slaves around the place. He looked at Flare who in response nodded and disappeared.
"Where do you think you're going?!"
One of the elders sensed Flare's disappearance and yelled. His body exploded with haki as he rushed out.
But before he could leave far Dragon stepped out and stopped him.
Armed!
Dragon's right arm turned inky black with purple aura surrounding it. He punched at the elder.
The elder's face changed. He felt danger as the fist closed in on him.
Soru!
His body flashed as he disappeared from the spot.
Dragon grinned, "Focus on what's in front of you."
The elder grinded his teeth in anger.
"Let's finish this quickly."
Another elder immediately joined as both of them shot towards Dragon.
Aokiji and Issho also started to fight an elder.
As for Mace and Dali, both of fought the last remaining elder.
Leo looked at the cipher pol agents and grinned. He raised his finger and pointed to the sky.
Merciful Rain!
Sword rays flashed as they condensed above the sky. In an instant the sky was covered by swords.
Leo slashed down. The swords hanging above fell like rain.
The cipher pol agents used Soru and Tekkai to dodge and take the remaining attack head on.
However none of them held out for a single second. The swords cleaved their bodies and left a trail of mangles flesh and blood.
Leo spread out his arms. The swords followed his movement and started to spread across the sky.
In the blink of an eye Marijoa and it's surroundings were completely blanked by a sky full of swords.
"Damn you!"
The elder fighting Aokiji was boiling with rage. He shook off Aokiji and rushed at Leo.
"Arara, that's not good."
Aokiji flashed and closed the distance between the elder and him. Ice spears surrounded the elder in an instant.
The elder had to retreat. He watched in rage as Leo slaughtered the cipher pol agents like poultry.
When Leo was done with the cipher pol agents he changed his focus towards the celestial dragons who were comfortably staying within their mansion.
Only a very few were outside to witness the battle.
Coldness flickered in his eyes.
The spectating celestial dragons saw Leo look in their direction. One of them lost control over his body and fell on his butt.
"Filt-Filthy... mortal... how dare you?!"
Even when death was staring at them they failed to realise it.
Leo grinned.
A light flashed. Swords fell down and sliced them apart into pieces.
A slaughter began.
A celestial dragon was beating a woman while riding on her when a hail of swords fell through the ceiling.
Another was enjoying the company of several woman when his head was slashed off.
One by one celestial dragons were killed.
The five elders felt rage boil inside them when they saw how casually Leo was killing celestial dragons. They wanted to stop him but their opponents gave no chance for them to leave the battlefield.
As Leo was half way through he felt an extreme sense of danger.
Shing!
In an instant his sword was drawn as he defended his right side. A powerful blow came fell on his sword and pushed him far back.
Leo narrowed his eyes as he stabilised his body.
A man covered in darkness was standing opposite to him. The man gave off an evil vibe.
The five elders paused for a moment and retreated.
"Im-sama!"
All of the bowed respectfully towards the man.
Aokiji had a solemn expression on his face.
"To think there was someone above the five elders...
Leo turned serious. He felt extreme danger for a second there. This man was strong.
The man was called looked at Leo for a second and disappeared.
Leo's spiritual sense was triggered almost immediately as danger came from behind.
Fast!
A fist clad in darkness smashed towards his back.
Leo slightly twisted his body and dodged the attack. At the same time he executed his faster stance.
Silent Wind!
He disappeared from where he stood.
A sword ray flashed.
However nothing happened. His opponent was not in his attack path anymore.
Leo reappeared and stared at Im with a frown on his forehead.
Space ability? No, it's not a space ability. Is it Time? But how is doing that?
