300. A King's Power

(Visit WWW.PATR...EON.COM/SONUAMEER for more. Thank you.)

Leo's words echoed through the world of Hueco Mundo. The terrible momentum he gave off started to climb.

Yoshi and the other two shinigami felt it slightly hard to breathe. At this moment they felt as if they were standing before a higher existence, someone to be awed upon.

In his own world Leo was the one who the Demon Slayers. He was the one who changed their world.

In Zoro's world he trampled upon people who stood at the peak of power. He brought down a power that ruled that world for close to a millennium. He created the Adventures Guild that changed the world and the lives of countless people.

In both worlds he was someone looked upon, and respected by countless individuals.

He was their uncrowned King!

Everyone who knew him remembers him as a kind hearted person. He always have an amiable smile on his face.

However as a person who climbed to the top of two worlds, would he be ordinary?

The answer is no.

Dealing with everyday issues Leo will be like most people, fair and impartial. However deep in his bones, that arrogance and pride as a powerhouse, as a King, was still present.

And those who offend a King?

Death!!

"Fall of an era!"

The old man Yoshi saw the situation going south and immediately made a move.

The clouds started to gather, and the temperature got low. A vortex appeared high up in the sky.

"Thousand Cut!"

The burly man Meiji raised his great axe high and slammed it down.

The swirling clouds trembled before crashing down on Leo. Every speck of snow drifting in the air felt as heavy as a mountain as it fell through the air.

Leo raised his head and looked to the sky. His clear blue eyes reflected the magnificent scene of dazzling white snow fall down like rain.

At that moment the skinny man named Rikou pointed his transparent sword at Leo. A strange ripple spread out of his sword and shot at Leo. Before Leo could react it flew into his body.

Hm?

Leo felt as if some kind of power was pulling away his life force, the very root of his existence.

A sneer climbed onto Leo's face. The 'Breath' inside his body started to circulate. As it revolved that strange power draining away his life force was pulled out before it was assimilated with his 'Breath'.

Suddenly the skinny face felt a bad premonition. Before he could react he felt as if something was being torn away from him.

Puff!

He coughed out a mouthful of blood and looked at Leo incredulously.

"How can you absorb death energy?!"

Leo looked at him with a grin on his face. Suddenly he raised his sword and slashed.

"Immovable Mountain!"

As his sword fell several giant swords rose from the ground. The swords made of spiritual energy shimmered and rotated around Leo.

Boom!

Just at that moment the heavy snow fell. An explosion rang out. Like an avalanche, snow spread out in every direction, drowning the desolate wasteland of Hueco Mundo. In a few seconds the desolate lands turned into a snow covered realm.

However Yoshi and the other two shinigamis didn't look relieved. From the icy mist left behind by the snow explosion, they saw faint lights that moved around.

Swish!

A wind blew away the icy and made what was behind it clear.

Those giant sword looked as if nothing happened. Their bodies still shone with spiritual light.

How... it's impossible...

Yoshi and the other two looked shocked. They couldn't believe a human was able to withstand their combined attack.

Leo stepped out of the sword formation. The swords parted, giving way for him.

"With such little strength, you dare to move against me?"

Yoshi clenched his fist. Hatred flashed in his eyes. In his youth Yamamoto dominated his presence with his unquestionable power.

He always hated that man. Thar pride he had always irked him.

And seeing this young man infront of him Yoshi's mind merged those figures into one. His eyes turned red.

"Don't get cocky!"

The old man raised his hand for another move. But just as he did Leo disappeared from his sight.

"Do you think I'm a rock for you to hit as you please."

A soft voice rang out right beside him. The sudden emergence of that voice stunned the old man. He saw a sword slashing at his waist.

Clang!! Boom!!

He was slow to react, however Meiji standing next to him hastily blocked that strike. But the force that was being transmitted through his sword was so great that it lifted him from the ground.

He slammed into the old man and they were blasted through the air.

Shit!

The last guy, the skinny shinigami, Rikou, cursed. He was about to retreat when a foot slammed into his chest.

Crack!

Something cracked. A terrible force struck his chest, knocking him through the air. Blood spilled through the air as he flew.

Leo landed softly on the snow.

The three shinigamis crashed through the ground, leaving faint trails of blood on the snow. After rolling a great distance they stopped.

Coughing out blood the three of them got up. They looked at Leo hatefully.

"Your game is really boring."

Leo said lightly.

Yoshi slammed his fist on the ground in anger. After a few seconds he took a deep breath to calm himself and looked at Leo coldly.

"I wanted to save this for Yama, but you forced me."

As he finished spiritual energy broke out from the three of them. Their strength was starting to climb.

Hm?

Leo raised an eyebrow. From his spiritual sense he could see a mutation happening to their souls. Even their spiritual body was starting to morph.

Bone spurs started to appear on their body and face. Their zanpakuto shattered and merged with their body.

Leo frowned. Suddenly he remembered those peculiar hollows with the powers of a shinigami.

Now looking at the three of them he couldn't help but speculate.

Could these three have acquired the powers of a hollow?
