Animeverse Slayer!

Leo was shocked when he saw Snow's ability. He went back into the laboratory and said to Shinobu, "Hey, turn around and look at this."

"What?"

Shinobu put down the materials in her hand and turned around. When she saw Snow she was startled and had her eyes glued on her.

She briskly walked to him and took a good look at her, "How did this happen?"

Leo showed a confused expression and said, "A moment ago I said she would one day crush my shoulder if she is growing like this and the next second, well, like this."

Both of them looked at Snow with interest.

Leo asked, "What do you think?"

Shinobu shook her head, "I don't know. I mean, this isn't my area of expertise, maybe Mace knows something."

"Right, I forgot about him."

Leo took out his den-den mushi and called Mace over.

A while later Mace came by. When he walked inside the laboratory his eyes instantly locked onto Snow who was standing on Leo's shoulder.

He was shocked and asked, "Is that?...

Leo nodded, "It's snow."

Mace suddenly got all excited and said, "So, the legends are true."

Shinobu was curious and asked, "What legend?"

Mace toned down and explained, "Well, there is this legend that snow falcons had a peculiar ability. However, since these guys are rare no one was able to confirm it so far. Now that I think about it, this ability might be the major reason why they are so hard to spot!"

Mace was very excited and paced around Snow. He was recording something on a small notebook.

Leo didn't stop him and let him do what he wanted.

After he was done with his stuff Mace turned to Leo and said, "Sir, I got some news about that crew you told me to keep an eye on."

Oh?

Mace continued, "They were spotted inside a navy base."

Huh?

Leo was confused, "Inside?"

Mace nodded and said, "The reports say that they fell from sky."

Leo raised an eyebrow and understood. Looks like those kids went to Sky Island. Did they take the Knock-Up stream as well? Very daring.

"Dali and Flare has a basic grasp over both kenbunshoku and busoshoku haki. Their physique is improving by leaps and bounds as well."

Leo nodded, "Good. After tomorrow's strengthening is over we will set out. Select some good targets."

Mace acknowledged and left.

The next day.

Dali, Flare and Violet laid on beds as Shinobu injected them with a vial of red serum.

This one was different from the previous two serums. Just by injecting it into their body they felt as if a fire was running through their veins.

Sweat oozed out of their skin and completely soaked their clothes.

Shinobu walked to each of them and placed her palm over their hearts. A wave of 'Breath' seeped out from her palm and slowly drilled into their hearts.

The three of them felt a bit relaxed after she did that.

"It's done."

Shinobu said and walked to the three of them. She checked their condition and relaxed when she found no problems.

The three of them were tired mentally and physically after that torture and dozed off after Shinobu was done with her check-up.

"Mace, have them rest for a day and prepare to set out."

Leo instructed Mace and walked off with Shinobu.

Mace had some of the crew take care of the three and prepared a lot of food for them when they woke up. The past two rounds of strengthening was followed by a round of ravenous eating, this was final round so it's bound to result in a massive consumption of food.

They were walking back to their house when Leo asked, "You coming this time?"

Shinobu nodded, "Yeah. I am bored and need a breather."

Leo smiled, "So you do know how to take a break once in a while."

Shinobu rolled her eyes, "I am not like you who has a one track mind."

Leo laughed.

A day later.

Dali, Flare and Violet stood beside Mace with glowing faces. They felt as if they were filled with energy.

"Lieutenant Mace, where are we going?"

Violet couldn't help but ask.

Mace shook his head and asked, "I don't know. Sir just said to prepare."

As they were speaking Leo and Shinobu walked over from the distance. On Shinobu's shoulder stood Snow.

Getting on-board Leo threw a wanted poster to Mace, "We are hunting this guy."

Mace caught the flier and looked at who it was. His eyes nearly popped out his sockets when he saw the name on it.

"Sir! This-This... we can't go after this guy!"

Leo asked back, "Why not?"

Mace hastily replied, "Sir, this will anger a Yonko! Please think of the consequences of your actions!"

Leo narrowed his eyes, "He is pirate and that's all I need to know. I have seen the reports, the number of people he killed is probably more than I have met in my entire life. So what if it angers a Yonko? Do I look like I fear one?"

Mace tried to change his mind, "Sir, this guy takes care of all the business of a Yonko. You go after him, you are destroying their channel for money making."

Leo smirked, "That's just what I want. A Yonko has a large troop of people, fear isn't the only thing binding them together, there is also money. If they don't even have the money to buy resources then they will slowly crumble."

A cold light flashed in Leo's eyes, "That woman killed an entire town because she wanted me to know the consequences."

"Now, I want her to know the consequences of her crazy action."
