Chapter 115 - 115. Devil Fruit

The next day.

Leo and Shinobu was led by an officer to the dock, the ship he would command was docked there.

"Sir, this is your ship."

The officer pointed to a ship.

Leo followed his finger and saw a medium sized ship. Several canon holes lines the sides of it's body.

"Thank you."

Leo nodded towards the officer. The latter saluted him and left.

"Looks good."

Leo was calm when he saw the ship. He had seen massive luxury sh.i.p.s and battlesh.i.p.s in his previous life. So this one wasn't anything special.

He walked up. Shinobu hugged his arms and walked close to him.

As he reached the deck several men and women stood in attendance and saluted.

"Welcome aboard, Captain!"

Leo nodded and said, "My name is Leo and I will be your Captain for a while. Now, I don't know anything about commanding a crew so don't be hesitant to correct me if I am wrong."

The crew started mumble when they heard him. Some of them heaved a sigh of relief. They heard the new Captain was appointed directly, they were afraid it was someone with connections and a snobby attitude.

"Alright. Who is Steve?"

Leo asked.

A man stepped out and saluted, "Reporting!"

Leo handed him a stack of papers. They were bounty fliers.

"These are our targets. Gather intelligence of their recent activities and set course for the nearest one."

Steve was the second in command aboard the ship. He was stunned as he looked through the bounties. These pirates were notorious and hard to catch.

"Yes, Captain!"

However these were his orders and he complied.

Seeing Leo finish his piece Shinobu asked the crew, "Which one of you is the ship doctor?"

A woman stepped out. She had short brown hair and brown eyes.

"Lucy, reporting Ma'am!"

Shinobu pulled her aside and checked the medical supplies on board.

"Alright, let's set sail!"

...

County Island.

A navy ship was docked on it's harbor.

Steve saluted Leo and reported, "Sir, Jack was last seen on this island gathering food and water."

Leo nodded and said, "Spread out. Take a snail with you, if you spot them contact me immediately."

The men stood in attention and saluted.

"Yes, sir!"

Leo and Shinobu went on their own and looked around. The town was relatively big. There were many stores and stall on both sides of the road.

"This is nice." Shinobu said with a smile.

Leo nodded. Though they were here to catch a pirate that doesn't mean they couldn't have fun.

It's an experience to walk around in a town in a different island in a different world.

As they were enjoying a mutton kebab Leo paused. He threw the remaining food into the trash and wiped his mouth.

"You found them?"

Shinobu asked

Leo nodded, "They are near. About a couple of miles west."

Though he was enjoying his time with Shinobu his spiritual sense was passively scanning everyone around him.

Kachak!

He answered the call and Steve's voice came from the other end.

"Sir, we found them. They saw us and engaged us immediately."

Leo responded, "Hold on, I am coming."

He grabbed Shinobu and sped up.

"Hold your ground! Captain is on his way."

Steve yelled out. His subordinate were engaged in an intense battle with the pirates.

A man wearing thick golden chains around his neck laughed and pointed his sword at the navy soldiers.

"Haha, men, slaughter them and take everything!"

"Steve, form a circle and don't let any fish slip out."

Just as he was wondering what to do Leo's voice was heard from the distance.

Steve was relieved to see his captain and ordered, "Retreat and form a circle. Don't let a single one escape!"

Ooh!

Seeing their captain the men's morale was lifted. They steadily retreated.

Leo joined the battle with Shinobu.

A pirated saw him rushing over and swung his sword. Leo dodged it easily and struck him palm on the pirate's c.h.e.s.t.

The pirate flew back. He crashed into some of his friends along the way and fell down unconscious with blood seeping out of his mouth.

What the?

"What are you swines looking around for!? Kill him!"

His cold voice broke his men from their shock. They immediately surrounded Leo and attacked.

Leo stood at ease and dodged their attack. He struck with each step he took. Pirates fell down like dominos.

Jack had blood threads in his eyes when he saw his men fall like dead fish. He then turned his sight to Shinobu who was also fighting against his men.

His eyes sparkled and he moved in her direction.

Leo saw Jack's movements from the corner of his eyes and smirked.

Wrong choice man.

Shinobu had her hands behind her back as she dodged the pirates attack. She looked at ease facing half a dozen swords.

Just then she felt her vision blur. Mist covered her sight.

Hm?

Just as she was wondering what happened a faint vibration came from her back. She took a step forward.

A sword sliced through the air and dispersed the mist.

Jack was stunned when he missed.

Shinobu looked curiously at Jack and asked, "Was that your fruit's ability? Illusion, no, it felt more like the air was congealing. Vapour... mist. I see, you can condense the water in air to create a misty area where only you could see."

Jack was shocked. His fruit's ability was a secret. The navy only knew he had a devil fruit ability. They didn't know what it was.

However this young woman analysed his ability right after he attacked. It didn't even take her five minutes to deduce what happened.

Leo grinned from the side. He finished off his side and waited for Shinobu.

Jack had sweat trickle down his sideburns.

He knew he couldn't escape when he saw his men all defeated. He threw caution to the wind and rushed at Shinobu.

But before he could reach her his body fell down uncontrollably.

Jack was startled. He was wide awake but he couldn't move a single muscle in his body. He couldn't even speak, it fell as if his body was devoid of energy.
