Animeverse Slayer!

Leo's hearing was excellent. He could hear what they were speaking and smiled.

He slightly adjusted Tama's foot and said, "A stable footing is very crucial. It can increase your strength as well as train your core."

Tama was a just a kid. Her short arms and legs didn't have enough strength to perform the stances for long periods of time.

Seeing her working so hard Leo asked, "Why do you want to be a kunoichi?"

Tama replied seriously, "As a warrior it's an honour."

Leo smirked. You are just a kid. Why are you speaking about honour at your age?

"But is that where you talents lie?"

Tama tilted her head in confusion.

Leo laughed lightly. He picked her up and explained patiently, "Kunoichi is just one path you can take. I don't know if you have the talent for it or not. If you do have talent, then that's great but if you don't...

Tama asked in a soft voice, "If I don't have talent...

Leo smiled and said, "Don't blindly follow others, Tama. You are a kid. Kid's should have imagination. So imagine whatever you want to be, don't just focus on one. And when you feel like something is really right for you, grab it."

"Did you also do that, big brother?"

Leo thought for a moment, "Well... I didn't try out a lot of things. The first thing I did try was the one I am very good at."

"My situation isn't the right example here. But my wife's is."

Tama asked, "Big brother's wife?"

Leo nodded. He smiled and said, "From where we come from a woman's strength wasn't enough to take down certain enemies. So she found a method suitable for her. In the end she became so strong that her enemies feared and awed her."

Tama's eyes shined when she heard that, "Really?"

"Of course. Out in the world no one would dare annoy her. Even Kaido would have to take her seriously."

"Really?! Then I want to be like big sister."

Flare who was chopping wood some distance away faltered when he heard her. A strained expression appeared on his face.

One smiling devil is already enough in this sea. Sir, please don't create a second one.

He prayed silently.

Leo chuckled and said, "Once everything is over I'll take you out of Wano. Then you can meet my wife, she is very beautiful, like a fairy."

Tama asked, "Will I be a fairy as well when I grow up?"

Leo pinched her nose and said, "Tama is already a little fairy, I'm sure you will become a stunning fairy when you grow up."

"Ehehe."

Tama laughed foolishly. Her smiled was addicting, be it Leo, Flare, Tsuru, Kiku or others they would never tire of it.

Leo said, "You know there are a lot of interesting place outside. Have you every seen a mermaid?"

Tama asked, "What's a mermaid?"

"A mermaid is a person with upper torso like us and lower body like a fish. They are very beautiful."

"There are a lot of other interesting places out there, like Sabaody Archipelago, which is a huge mangrove. Bubbles would float out from it's ground and rise up to the sky. Then there is Water seven, which is an island that is actually floating in the sea...

Leo spoke about his travels and the different kinds of people he met. Tama was listening intently. Time slipped by, soon it was time for lunch.

Ever since Leo robbed Bakura town, the people from this town had enough to eat.

All of them ate heartily.

After their meal Tsuru brought out some sweets. Leo had a sweet tooth so he was very happy to eat some. Very soon the plate was finished.

Just as they were relaxing two people walked in. Both of them were huge.

Leo raised his head and said, "Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, so you guys are Oden's vassals."

The one's who entered were Inuarashi and Nekomamushi.

Nekomamushi laughed, "Yeah. It's been a long time since I left this place, brings back memories."

Leo scoffed. He glared at both of them and asked, "I don't give a hoot about that. All I wanna know is why you bozos allowed Pedro to leave."

When they heard him both of them sighed.

Inuarashi said, "Pedro is a mink, and he is also a warrior. It would be insulting if we stopped him from doing what he believed."

Leo replied, "He was going on a suicide mission. Don't tell me you guys didn't know that!"

Both of them didn't speak. After a while Leo shook his head.

"I'll let it go this time. Be glad I was there on time, if something had happened to him I would have made you two very miserable."

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi laughed wryly. They believed him.

Tama who was sitting beside Leo looked at Inuarashi and Nekomamushi curiously. A talking dog and a talking cat.

Leo saw her curiousity and laughed, "They are from a race called minks."

"Since you are here, do you plan on...

Leo replied, "Oh, Kaido must go. However the battle must happen."

Nekomamushi frowned, "Many will die."

Leo smiled coldly, "War is like that, my friend. Kozuki lost this country because of a foolish ruler. So if they want to take it back they must bleed."

Inuarashi stared at Leo and said seriously, "Oden was a great man."

Leo smirked, "I'm sure he was. But he failed as a ruler. This country was his legacy, and look what it turned into. Can you say from your heart that this wasn't because of his foolishness?"

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi wanted to speak but they couldn't find the right words to do so.

Momonosuke heard everything. He clenched his fist, tears welled up in his eyes.

Leo saw him from the corner of his eyes and shook his head. He was looking for something in this kid and found nothing.
