149. Leo Enters

"Crocodile!!"

Vivi screamed from the top of her lungs, her voice was filled with hatred.

She was standing inside a tower, infront of her was a bomb. One set to destroy the entire square.

As she was crying in despair a man wearing white robes with diamond dots landed on the tower.

Vivi saw the man and started to explain but he didn't listen. He spoke about the past and what he stood for.

When he was finished he stared at Vivi and said, "I feel proud from the bottom of my heart that I was able to serve you, the Nefertari family."

His body suddenly started to transform. He turned into a giant eagle and pulled out the bomb. His eyes showed no fear, only a firm will.

He flew up high into the sky with the bomb. Vivi felt powerless as she looked up in despair.

Pell had a peaceful smile on his when the last second on the bomb's timer went off.

I am Alabasta's guardian deity... Falcon!

Boom!

The bomb exploded. A blinding flash of light spread out in all direction.

"Pell!!"

Vivi covered her face and silently sobbed.

Zoro, Sanji, Nami, Usopp and Chopper stared dumbly at what happened.

"No way...

"He...

They couldn't accept what happened.

"Damn! That was close."

Just as everyone was wallowing in sorrow a voice snapped them out.

All of them raised their head and saw a man and women floating high in the sky. The man was very handsome and while the woman was extremely beautiful.

However what they focused on was what that man had on his shoulder.

Draped in white robes and with bruises all over his body... it was Pell!

Leo and Shinobu descended with Pell. Once they landed Leo placed Pell on the ground.

The Strawhat crew immediately rushed to Pell. Chopper checked his condition and said excitedly.

"He is alive! He is alive!"

Hahaha...

They started to laugh boisterously. Leo also smiled when he saw their genuine laugh.

However his mood turned sour when he sensed the flames of war around him.

"Shut it, you idiots!"

He growled. A ripple spread out from in every direction.

Colour of The Supreme King!

The king's army and the rebel army were stunned before they fell down like dominos.

Leo coughed lightly and said, "Alright, that's taken care of."

Zoro, Sanji and the rest gulped when they saw thousands of people fall down unconscious.

Who the hell is he?

Inside a crumbling hall.

An intense battle was on the way.

Luffy had bruises all over his body, and blood soaked his body. Crocodile wasn't doing any better either. He face was bruised and blood leaked from the corner of his mouth.

In a corner was Nefartiri Cobra. He had wounds on his shoulder and bruises all over his body. Far away from them was a woman who was also stained with blood.

Luffy huffed and stared at Crocodile, "You can't... defeat me!"

Crocodile's face twisted into a smile, "Is that all you can say. That bluff suits you well, a loser who's about to die at any moment."

Luffy's eyes had a sharp glint in them, he loudly proclaimed, "I am the man who'll become the king of pirates!"

Crocodile grinned, he spread out his arms and said, "Listen brat, the more a man knows about the sea, the less he would make such thoughtless remarks."

He raised the hook on his left arm. It had several holes in it with a purple liquid coating it's body.

"I thought I told you that there are a tons of rookies like you in this sea. The more you learn the level of this sea... the more you'll give up on having such dreams."

Crocodile rushed at Luffy and pierced it towards Luffy's head.

Luffy bent his spine and raised his leg before stomping it onto the hook. He slammed it down on the hard stone ground and broke it's blade.

His eyes gleamed as he said, "I will... surpass you!"

He stretched out his fist far and slammed it into Crocodile's gut.

Spewing out blood Crocodile was thrown into the air. Luffy followed closely and punched his face to the ground. He then picked him up and threw him to a wall.

Crocodile smashed through the wall and fell on the cold hard stones.

Feeling the coldness his mind raced back to when he first heard of him. He dismissed him as a rookie. But from that point they destroyed his plans one by one.

And finally here they were.

He felt humiliated, and rage boiled inside him. Veins bulged on his forehead as he stood up.

"You're just a brat who comes from who knows where! Who the hell do you think I am!?"

The broken part of his hook turned into blade as he rushed at Luffy.

Ducking his head Luffy dodged the attack and kicked him high into the air.

"I don't care who you are... I'll surpass you!!"

Crocodile was struck and he flew high up spewing blood. He had blood shot eyes as he glared at Luffy.

"Be buried with this sacred temple!"

He raised his arm. A sand tornado took form in his palms.

Sable Pesado!

He swung it down. A shockwave hit the crumbling hall. Luffy felt an overwhelming pressure crushing down on him. He gritted his teeth and held on.

After it passed he drew in a deep breath. His body started to swell up like a balloon. He twisted his body like screw and suddenly blew down. The pressure threw him up.

He clenched his fist and stretched it far. Tremendous amount of power was being built up in his body.

Gum Gum no... Storm!

He threw out his fist.

Crocodile yelled and swung his arms.

Desert La Spada!

Sand blades rained down on Luffy.

Wooooryaa!

Roaring from the top of his lungs Luffy pushed forward. The sand blades was forcefully destroyed as his fist sunk into Crocodile's face.

Guah!

Crocodile grunted. He lost control of his body as numerous fists fell on him.

He crashed into the ceiling, numerous fists slammed into him and buried him to the walls. The buildings above started to tremble.

Crash!

Finally it gave way. The ceiling crumbled. Crocodile was thrown high into the sky. His eyes lost it's focus.
