218. Attacking A World Noble

A peculiar silence fell over Leo's ship when the celestial dragon said those words.

Mace sighed and shook his head regretfully. You could have just ignored us and be on your way, but noo, you had to seek trouble with the devil.

Issho, Dali, Flare and Violet all looked at the celestial dragon in silence.

Leo had a teasing smile on his face, as did Shinobu.

Over on the celestial dragon's ship, a man wearing white clothes with a black and white mask walked out. He walked to the edge of the ship and jumped.

Using Geppo he instantly flashed beside Shinobu and stretched out his hand towards her.

However just as he was about to grab her his body lost control and fell down.

Mace shook his head. There goes another fool.

The man's clothes covered every inch of his body. However through the gaps on his collar everyone saw the colour of his skin turn purple.

"How dare you?!"

The celestial dragon was angry, he pointed at Shinobu and said, "How dare a trash like you kill my slave?! Bring her to me this instant! Capture her now!"

Complying to his order several more men wearing white clothes flashed out from the ship.

All of them went straight for Shinobu.

However like their predecessor all of them were poisoned. Their bodies turned purple and soon their breathing came to a sudden halt.

"Dear, I don't want to play anymore."

Shinobu turned her head and said to Leo.

Curling his lips into a smile he said, "Fine. But leave our guest a memorable gift."

After saying those words he raised his fingers and pointed to the sky.

Sword rays condensed over the sky and blanketed the area. The celestial dragon was oblivious to his situation, or rather he was ignorant.

However, not everyone was a fool in that ship.

A man wearing white suit walked out from the ship and stared at Leo, "Vice admiral Leo, there is no need for such extreme actions."

Leo focused on the white suited man and said with a smile, "Finally out from the shadows. Why do you think my actions are extreme?"

The white suited man spoke casually, "You are aiming your sword at a celestial dragon."

Leo smirked, "I have nearly killed one before, what makes you think I care?"

The white suited man went silent. He stared at Leo calmly.

The celestial dragon however was fuming, "Kill him! Kill everyone! And get me that woman!"

An unnoticeable sigh escaped the white suited man, he said to Leo, "That's that then."

He disappeared and appeared in front of Leo in an instant. His speed was several times faster than those before him.

"You overestimate your capabilities."

Leo smiled coldly.

Suddenly the white suited man found himself surrounded by a crowd of sword rays.

How is this possible?!

He was shocked and in disbelief. He tried to flash out but wherever he moved the sword rays followed.

Here lies the terror of a grandmaster swordsman. Within his domain there is no escape. What he wants to cut will be cut, and what he doesn't want to cut, won't be cut.

Spurt!

The man held out for a second before he was swallowed by a crowd of sword rays.

When everything calmed down a bloodied body fell into the sea.

Leo stood calmly on the deck and pointed his finger down. The sword rays hanging over their heads fell on the celestial dragon's ship.

Miserable cries rang out.

After dozens of seconds everything went quiet. Apart from the celestial dragon, everyone was dead.

"Let's go."

Leo said to Mace.

Their ship started to move and soon left the celestial dragon's ship far behind.

"Sir, I am surprised you didn't kill him."

Flare said with a smile.

Leo said mysteriously, "Oh, he is gonna get something much more gracious than a swift death."

The crew got an idea about what happened and looked over in Shinobu's direction.

Like always she had a sweet smile on her face. However, if you consider certain situations, that smile can be very similar to that of a devil's.

...

On the celestial dragon's ship.

Dead bodies littered everywhere. The only breathing person on the ship was the celestial dragon.

However at this moment, the arrogance he had before was nowhere to be seen. His face was pale and he was trembling as he stood amidst the pile of corpses.

Still reeling from shock he took out a den-den mushi. His hands were shaking, he dropped the den-den mushi a few times before he was able to make a call.

"What is it son? It's been a while since you left to have some fun, don't spend too much time among those filthy things."

A condescending voice came from the other side.

The celestial dragon opened his mouth to say something, but no words came out of him. His body was still in shock, he wasn't able to respond.

"Son? Are you there? Why aren't you speaking?"

The other voice asked several times but he got no response.

After a while the young celestial dragon was finally able to squeeze out a few words.

"Fath...er... help...

As he said those words he lost the remaining sanity he had and lost consciousness.

"Son! Son!"

The other voice panicked and yelled through the den-den mushi a few times but he got no answer.

...

Several hours later a fleet consisting of three warships rushed to the location of the young celestial dragon.

A middle aged, pot bellied celestial dragon was standing on the deck of the leading ship.

When they reached their goal all they saw was a broken ship and a whole lot of corpses.

"Damn those bastards! How dare some lowly creatures attack a celestial dragon?!"

The man yelled at the top of his lungs.

Several CP agents rushed to the broken ship and searched for their leader's son. And they found him very quickly.

Seeing his son without any sort of injury the other pot bellied celestial dragon was relieved. However a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.

"I am gonna skin those wretched low lives!!"
