136. Colour Of The Supreme King

Whitebeard!

One of the Yonko!

The strongest man in the world!

Mace gulped. His knees went weak.

Leo also saw the flag and knew who it was. He was stunned but unlike Mace he didn't show any fear.

A man walked to the rails of Whitebeard's ship and said, "Whatcha doing here, marine?"

Mace saw the man and said out loud, "First Division Commander of Whitebeard pirates, Marco, The Phoenix!"

Leo raised his head and said calmly, "Just got down from Sky Island."

Oh?

Marco was surprised, he then said, "What should we do now?"

Leo said, "Once my crew stops barfing we will leave."

Marco smiled when he heard Leo, "Do you think it's easy so easy to leave after trespassing on our territory?"

Leo said, "Sorry to disturb you, we will be taking our leave."

He turned to Mace, "Check the ship's condition and get the crew to move."

Mace turned to look at Marco who wasn't bothered by Leo and nodded.

"Brat, you disturb my sleep and now you want to leave scott free!?"

A loud bellow rang from Moby Dick. A terrifying presence washed over Leo and his crew.

His crew passed out instantly. Leo felt as if someone was smacking his head with a hammer. He stumbled and nearly fell down.

Shinobu wasn't doing any better either. Her forehead was sweaty and she was holding onto the railing as a support.

Colour of The Supreme King!

Leo knew what happened. It was the third type of haki only seen in one in a million people. It was the haki of a King!

Holding onto his head Leo found it hard to stay awake. That powerful presence was crushing his mind.

Colour of The Supreme King... haha, so this is what it was.

His head still felt dizzy but it was slowly subsiding. He stood up as straight as a mountain.

Crack!

Something snapped inside Leo. Something that was always with him erupted with never before seen power.

Boom!

It clashed with the presence from Moby Dick. The air trembled and the sky turned dark. Their clash of wills resulted in lighting flashes and raging seas.

Leo stood straight, his eyes focused on Moby Dick.

"What the!?"

"That marine has the Colour of The Supreme King!?"

Several exclamations came from the pirate ship.

Because Leo erupted with his will Shinobu and the crew got free from Whitebeard's will.

"Gurarara, interesting. Brat, come up!"

Suddenly Whitebeard took back his will, his voice echoed from Moby Dick.

"You stay here."

Leo said to Shinobu and jumped onto the deck of Moby Dick.

The moment he set foot his eyes focused on a person. He was huge with defined muscles and scars on various parts of his body. The most noticeable feature was the white beard on his face.

This was the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!

"Gurarara, it's been a while since I saw an interesting brat like you, and you are a marine! Gurarara!"

Whitebeard chugged on a bottle of alcohol and said while laughing.

Leo walked towards him under the eyes of his crew.

He didn't stand on ceremony and sat down infront of him, "Why did you ask me to come up?"

Whitebeard laughed, "Gurarara because you surprised me. Why would a King work as a marine?"

Saying that he threw the bottle to Leo who caught it and took a swing.

Immediately he felt a burning sensation sliding through his throat. His eyes lit up as he took a few more gulps. Wiping the corner of his mouth Leo threw it back.

"I am no King. Just curious about the world but too lazy to organise a crew and a ship to go around it."

Whitebeard heard him and laughed. He drank again again and threw the bottle away.

"You can go."

Leo nodded and got up. He paused for a moment and threw a vial to him, "It can numb the pain."

He jumped back to his ship. The crew had stopped barfing and was ready. Soon their ship became a shadow and disappeared into the distance.

Marco stood beside Whitebeard and stared at the vial in his hand, "Father, be careful. He is a marine."

Whitebeard lightly smacked Marco's head and said, "He is a King! A King has no need for such deception!"

Saying that he pulled out the stopper and downed the liquid inside.

After few seconds Whitebeard felt a cooling sensation spread through his body. He felt extremely comfortable. The pain and discomfort he always felt because of the wounds he sustained in his younger days seems to have slightly healed.

That brat...

The corner of Whitebeard's mouth curled into a smile.

...

Leo stood on the deck and looked into the distance.

He was thinking something when Shinobu nudged him, "What are you thinking?"

Leo snapped out and said, "Whitebeard... that man is of a different breed. His spirit is like a bright sun, arrogant and proud. But there is this sense of closeness and kindness in his spirit. And his crew... they are more like a large family than a pirate crew."

Shinobu took his hand and asked, "So you are conflicted that both of you stand on different sides?"

Leo nodded, "Though my purpose is to travel and being a marine makes it easy I still despise evil, this maybe because I am a demon slayer. That's why I take my job seriously. Whitebeard is a pirate, but he is a good man. If push comes to shove what should I do if when there is conflict between us?"

Shinobu didn't speak for a moment and said, "Just do what you think is right, no matter what kind of decision you make I will always be here."

Leo nodded with a smile.

...

On an island.

Several groups of people were having an intense battle. The location of their battle was a small town that was now in shambles.

"We found it first! Give it back or die!"

A man with a lion's head and limbs roared at a tall woman standing opposite to him. She had long legs and white hair.

"Get lost!"

The woman had no intention of backing down and coldly spat. She then raised her sword and jabbed it at the man with the lion head.

Corpses littered around them. The two of them didn't care one bit about their surroundings and started another round of battle.
