152. Crazy Big Mom

Leo immediately set off towards Impel Down. His face was cloudy all the way, he never expected Big Mom to make such a move.

A Yonko personally making an attack is not a joke. These were the people standing on top of the world, they were the strongest pirates!

It was noon when he got to Impel Down. Several warships were already docked and in formation, ready for battle.

He saw several vice admirals as he got down. All of them had severe expressions on their faces.

"Leo, you are finally here."

A man wearing a checkered suit walked upto Leo and said. This was vice admiral Momonga.

"How can I not be? This is all because of me."

Leo said with a guilty tone.

Momonga patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be so hard on yourself. You did your job, if it was me or any other marine, they would have done the same."

Leo was relieved to find that none of them blamed him. He spoke with the other vice admirals and waited for their commander.

Not long after admiral Aokiji's ship docked on the port.

"Only one Admiral?"

Leo asked Momonga.

A Yonko is far stronger and needed atleast an admiral to battle them.

Momonga said, "There are three Admirals. Two would be busy with work and one would stay back as backup in case of emergencies, like this one. Sparing one is all the headquarters can do."

Leo nodded.

Aokiji stood infront of them. His lazy attitude was completely gone as he stood straight looking into the distance.

Soon a long line of shadows could be seen in the distance.

"They are here."

The leading ship was very large. Big Mom stood on it's helm and stared right at the marines.

Once the fleet was close Big Mom jumped down. However she didn't fall down, instead a cloud picked her up.

The cloud had a face. Leo raised an eyebrow when he saw the cloud. It held the same spirituality as Big Mom.

So those are homies. Her soul-soul fruit is incredible.

Leo had read information about Big Mom's abilities. She had top notch busoshoku haki, her kenbunshoku was average, however her physique was special. And her devil fruit ability was powerful.

It's said that she is always accompanied by natural phenomena.

Big Mom scanned the crowd of marines and paused on Leo. Her eyes were filled with infinite murderous intent.

"Hateful marine, you dare put my children in prison!?"

Her voice thundered. In an instant a powerful 'will' was released from her body.

Some of the weaker marines fell down while vice admirals frowned. Against a Yonko's haoshoku even they felt stifled.

Only Leo and Aokiji were standing without any change in expression.

Leo wasn't the least bit intimidated by her presence and said, "You daughter nearly destroyed a small town in her battle, your son wanted to kill me. What's wrong with putting them behind bars?"

Big Mom suddenly laughed. However her laughter was filled with coldness, "Mamama, Perespero, give my little present to him."

A thin man wielding a cane cane walked out from behind her and threw down a big bag.

The bag hit the floor and opened up. From it several objects rolled out.

Leo's eyes widened when he saw what it was.

Heads! The bag was filled with bloody heads!

"Mamama, I love presents, how about you? These are all those people from that town, Mamamama!"

Big Mom was laughing without restraint. She was very happy when she saw the shocked look in Leo's eyes.

Leo stared nimbly at the heads that rolled out. All of the faces showed despair, hatred and unwillingness.

She killed them all? For what, to simply smite me?

His emotions were unstable.

Shinobu could feel his tumultuous emotions. She gently gripped his arms.

Leo broke out of his trance and said in a low voice, "It's all because of me."

Shinobu shook her head, "You did nothing wrong."

Big Mom had a cruel smile on her face, "Marine, you dared to capture my children. I will have to know the consequences of your actions. I will make you understand the terror of offending a Yonko!!"

When he heard her words something clicked inside his mind. His churning emotions suddenly calmed down.

"Consequences... terror... I see... it's because you fear nothing, that's what gave courage to commit mass murder."

Leo's words were soft but Shinobu who knew him better than anyone else felt a tinge of ruthless in it, something that was never there before.

"Warden Megallan, bring Cracker and Smoothie here."

A tall man wearing a jailers uniform frowned when he heard Leo. He was the chief warden of Impel Down, Megallan.

Megallan looked over at Aokiji.

Aokiji narrowed his eyes and studied Leo. He felt as if something had changed within this young man.

"Do it."

He said to Megallan.

Megallan left the crowd and after a while he brought over Cracker and Smoothie.

Their hands and feet were cuffed with kairoseki.

Megallan brought them to Leo and handed them to him.

Leo looked over to Big Mom and said, "You came here for them, right?"

Big Mom grinned when she saw Cracker and Smoothie, "Marine, It's too late to make amends."

Leo suddenly smiled when he heard her.

Katakuri who was standing beside Big Mom suddenly shuddered, his eyes widened in shock. He yelled.

"Stop!!"

Before anyone could react a red light flashed. Two heads flew up high into the air and fell on the deck of Big Mom's ship.

"There, you now have your children back."

Leo said softly.

Everyone was stunned. The marines never expected such a drastic change.

Aokiji was also shocked. His eyes turned solemn when he looked at Leo. His hunch was right.

Before when he met Leo he felt that he was too forgiving. He lacked a certain viciousness. He seldom killed, only when he met a truly vicious character would he resort to murder.

When out in the sea if you aren't vicious enough, certain things will come back to bite you.

Like now.

Big Mom killed people from that small town because she feared no one. If Leo was a vicious character who stopped at nothing and feared nothing, she would hesitate to anger him.

And right now Big Mom triggered a tremendous change in him. Her actions gave birth to a certain ruthlessness in him.
