Chapter 167 - 167. Setting Out (1/2)

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.
