Animeverse Slayer!

It had been a day since Leo and Shinobu started their journey.

Their journey was smooth until the latter half of the day. Just as they passed an island, couple of sh.i.p.s surrounded them. Both the sh.i.p.s had a pirate skull flying on their sails.

However the crew didn't panic and handled it steadily. The captain took command as a naval battle ensued.

The pirates weren't nearly as equipped as the Navy. After a few rounds they fell back and ran way.

It was Leo's first time seeing a battle at sea. It was kind of interesting for him.

With water in every direction he quickly got bored and went back to his cabin to meditate.

Shinobu was leaning on their bed frame and going through some medical books she brought with her.

"Pirates?"

She asked.

Leo nodded, "Yeah. This world is quite dangerous for an average person. This is already the second time."

Shinobu agreed, "Well, this ship is worth a lot. After all the cargo they are carrying is for an entire base."

Leo found himself some space on the bed and started to do his Breathing Technique.

However his 'Breath' was extremely pure and vast like an ocean. Once he advance he would experience a qualitative change.

When the sun went down and the night came up Leo abruptly opened his eyes.

Shinobu was out to get their food.

He went out to the deck and looked out into the sea.

A vague shadow was nearing their ship from beneath the water. Leo had excellent eyesight, he made out those figures to be humans.

They certainly got creative.

He thought.

The men patrolling the area saw nothing. The night only had the illumination of several lamps on their ship.

A patrolling officer saw Leo stare at the sea and came towards him.

"What are you looking at?"

Leo turned his head and said with a smile, "Some interesting fish."

The officer was confused and looked down. However the pitch black night blocked his sight.

He turned to Leo and said, "Get some sleep. We will reach the base by early tomorrow."

Leo didn't move. He pulled the officer to a corner and gestured him to stay quiet.

The officer was still confused, he wanted to question what was going on. But seeing how Leo had a temperate smile on his face he decided to wait and see.

After a few minutes something climbed up from the edge of the ship.

The officer's face changed, in the middle of the night someone climbed up from the sea from the sea onto the ship, this could only mean one thing.

The ship was being attacked!

He stood up abruptly and was about to yell when Leo patted his shoulder.

"Go and inform your captain, I will keep an eye on these guys."

The man hesitated for a moment and said seriously, "Alright. You keep a safe distance and observe, don't do anything rash."

Saying that he bolted towards the captain's cabin.

Leo was standing at a blind spot. The night blocked him from the pirates.

A man wearing black clothes climbed onto the deck. Following him were several more men fully covered in black clothes.

"Spread out. Kill the guards and everyone else who is a threat."

The leading man ordered his men.

Just as they were about to move Leo walked out, "Sorry, but I would appreciate it if you guys could stay put."

The sudden appearance of Leo shocked them. The man looked around hastily and found no one else.

He heaved a sigh and grinned, "Trying to be a hero, huh."

Leo shook his head, "Against your bunch, I don't think so."

The man stared at Leo for a moment and said, "Kill him and throw him into the sea."

Two men walked out and rushed towards Leo. However before they could touch him they fell down powerlessly and lost consciousness.

The leader was startled. He raised his head abruptly and found Leo missing.

Just at that moment he heard several thumps of something falling down and looked back.

More than a dozen of his men laid on the floor with their eyes rolled to the back of their heads.

"Sleep."

The leader wanted to jump out into the sea and escape but Leo struck the back of his neck and made him unconscious.

Just as he finished taking care of them the captain and his men ran over with their swords and guns.

However they were stunned when they saw more than a dozen men lying on the floor like dead fish.

"Night Raiders!"

His men drew a cold breath when they heard their captain. They looked at Leo with approving eyes.

Leo was curious when he saw their reaction, "Are they famous?"

The captain nodded and explained, "These guys are notorious in these parts. They raid cargo sh.i.p.s and merchants in the dead of the night and leave of string of bodies."

"They are a bunch cruel and greedy men. The standing bounty for their leader is 11 million and his crew has a total bounty of 30 million."

Leo's mouth curled up when he heard those figures.

Lucky!

The captain thanked Leo for his help and commented him for his strength.

"Wait till we reach the base, I will speed up the processing of your reward. Also, you better get some shut eye. We will reach the base before the sun's up."

Shinobu was already waiting for him with their dinner. Having a hearty meal and earning some bucks he went to sleep with a big smile.
