Animeverse Slayer!

Chapter 195 - 195. Courage

Leo's eyes chilled when he saw Akainu chasing after Ace.

A great man has already given up his life for this meaningless war. Akainu, you are asking for death!

Swish!

Leo's figure flashed towards their battle with incredible momentum.

"Arara, that's no good."

Aokiji frowned when he saw Leo moving towards Akainu and Ace. His instincts told him that Leo's target was not Ace, but Akainu.

Leo's sword was humming with power.

However before he reached them a young marine blocked Akainu's path.

"Please, stop this! Too many has already died!"

Leo halted his steps.

He looked incredulously at the young marine. He was in tears and shaking from fear standing up against Akainu.

However his eyes were firm.

Watching the young marine countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

"Move aside!"

Akainu growled.

This marine was blocking his path. Across him was Ace who was kneeling and on the verge of collapse.

The young marine gritted his teeth and stared at Akainu silently.

"No one can stand in the way of justice, even if it's a marine!"

Akainu wasn't all that bothered even if he killed a marine. His arms surging with burning magma ruthlessly punched at the young marine.

"Coby! Sakazuki, stop!"

Garp yelled with rage and flashed towards Akainu.

Coby was scared out of his mind. His legs turned to jelly, he couldn't find any strength to move.

Leo raised his sword and swung it down.

Sword rays condensed above Akainu and fell down like a rain. It formed a wall of defense against Akainu's magma fist and tore it to shreds!

Akainu turned his head and glared at Leo, "This is the second time, Leo Heart!!"

Leo had a cold smile on his face, he looked slightly crazy, "Oh yeah?"

Both of them stared at each other. Their momentum was increasing by the second.

Sengoku suddenly rushed towards them and stood in the middle.

"What are you doing?!"

Akainu said gloomily, "You know what he did, Fleet Admiral!"

Sengoku had a headache coming. He wasn't blind. Leo moved against Akainu twice, both times it was to help a pirate.

"Move aside, Fleet Admiral. That wild dog needs to be put down!"

Akainu's rage boiled up when he heard Leo. His body started to surge with magma and a huge amount of haki was being infused into his fist.

Leo also readied his sword. It hummed when his haki flowed into it. The gleam on it's black blade increased.

"Do the both of you want to rebel?! You are making a joke of yourselves!"

Sengoku raised his voice and shouted at them.

Akainu's momentum slightly dimmed, however Leo's was steadily increasing. He didn't care and had no thoughts of backing down.

When the situation was at an impasse a large ship docked near the bay.

No one noticed it getting close. Only when it docked did everyone saw it.

"That's...

"Yonko, Red Hair Shanks!!"

The marines recognised the ship and the flag it was flying. Their faces paled.

Garp gritted his teeth when he saw Shanks, "Red Hair! He is the one who put Luffy on the wrong path!"

Under everyones watch Shanks jumped down the ship. Several more joined him.

"Ben Beckman!"

"Yasopp!"

The big names of New World appeared one after another.

Shanks stood before thousands of marines and the Whitebeard Pirates and said, "I've come to stop this war!"

Hearing him the marines yelled out.

"Stop this war?!"

"How dare a pirate proclaim that?!"

"Get the hell out of marineford!!"

However contrary to everyones expectation Sengoku said, "Alright. This war ends here!"

He was trying to find a way to get out of this embarrassing situation when Shanks entered. With the presence of another Yonko it is justified if he puts an end to this war.

Shanks was also taken back. He didn't expect Sengoku to readily agree, he turned to look at Akainu and Leo, he understood what was happening.

"Thank you for your understanding. I also want to take Whitebeard's body and bury him in peace."

"I agree."

Sengoku didn't even think for a moment and agreed.

Akainu's face turned blue.

He glared at Leo, then at Ace and Luffy before walking away in anger.

Leo also sheathed his sword. He took a glance at Ace and Luffy then he focused on the young marine who nearly lost his consciousness facing Akainu.

A peculiar glint faced in his eyes before he walked away as well.

Sengoku raised his voice and yelled, "Gather the fallen and retreat, this war is over!!"

With that the war came to an end.

Whitebeard Pirates were defeated and Whitebeard died at marineford.

The world was in shock. Many cheered and celebrated.

The papers glorified the battle and never mentioned the matter of Ace. They focused on Whitebeard and his death. It was as if Ace's execution had nothing to do with the war.

Leo put down the paper and scoffed.

Shinobu placed a cup of tea on the table and said, "What are your plans?"

Leo took a sip and said seriously, "The justice of this world is twisted. I didn't care before as it never crossed my path, but now...

"Celestial dragons... World Government... the world revolves around them. What they say is justice. If I want to change everything then they must die."

He said nonchalantly. However the coldness in his words was real.

Shinobu chuckled, "You are acting quite... wild. I like that."

Leo grinned and pulled her into his embrace before kissing her cheery lips.

Click.

The door to the hall was opened and Zoro came in to see them kissing. His face turned hard for a moment before he bowed and stepped out.

Leo had an amused smile, "He is quite shy."

"Hehe."

Shinobu giggled.

Kiii!

A snowy figure rushed inside through an open window and buried itself between Shinobu and Leo.

"Haha, Snow, you are getting heavy."

Leo laughed and picked up the snow falcon.
