Chapter 174 - 174. War Congress (2/2)

He followed the threads and saw a man with pink hair and sunglasses sitting on the edge of a window. His fingers kept moving as he watched the rear admirals fight with wicked grin.

One of the seven Warlords, Donquiote Doflamingo.

Leo grinned.

He took a step forward and disappeared.

Doflamingo who was having fun suddenly felt his heart grip with terror. He clad his arms in busoshoku haki and crossed them against his c.h.e.s.t.

Slice!

A bright red light flashed before him and crashed into his arms. His busoshoku haki was sliced through. Blood spilled.

He quickly retreated. However a shadow quietly appeared behind him.

The shadows of death covered him.

”Leo, that's enough.”

A calm voice echoed through the room.

Sengoku stood outside the room as he stared at Leo standing behind Doflamingo. His sword was pointing at Doflamingo's throat, just a hair breath away.

Leo took back his sword and put it back inside the scabbard.

Beads of sweat flowed down Doflamingo's forehead. The wicked grin he had on his face was gone. He turned around and faced Leo as he traced his neck.

A small wound was there. Drops of blood seeped out.

Anger erupted in his heart. He was about to speak when Leo suddenly kicked out.

Doflamingo failed to react. Leo's feet sunk into his gut. His body slumped like a shrimp and he was thrown back while spilling blood. His body crashed into the walls and made a human shaped dent before sliding down and losing consciousness.

”Be glad you are on the ground of Marineford as a Warlord.”

Leo smirked.

Sengoku said nothing and said, ”Take seat.”

Leo and Shinobu sat down. There were a few others seated around them.

An old woman wearing a justice overcoat was seated right next to Sengoku, Tactical Officer, Tsuru.

A rather big man with a book in his hand, Warlord, Bartholomew Kuma.

Just as Sengoku was about to speak the door was pushed open and a man walked in.

Leo was surprised to see who it was.

The man carried large black sword on his back and wore an open coat and a ceremonial hat.

Warlord, Hawkeye Mihawk.

Hawkeye saw Leo and nodded at him.

Leo returned the gesture.

After Hawkeye was seated Sengoku got on to the topic, ”We are going to war.”

Leo was surprised and turned serious, ”Against a Yonko?”

With the power the navy had only a Yonko was qualified to be their opponent.

Sengoku nodded and said, ”Our enemy will be the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard!”

Leo felt a tremor in his heart. However his face looked unchanged. Only Shinobu seated beside him sensed the tumultuous emotions in him.

Sengoku explained, ”The latter half of the Grandline is ruled by the Yonko. Because of them our presence in the latter half is basically nonexistent.”

”We now have a chance. Whitebeard is getting old. He isn't at his peak.”

One of the rear admirals couldn't help but speak, ”But Fleet Admiral, this is still Whitebeard. Is it really possible to fight against him.”

”Yes, Fleet Admiral. There is a reason why he is called the strongest man in the world.”

”If we send out a fleet against him, he could wipe them out by simply raising a tsunami.”

”Please think this through Fleet Admiral.”

Several marines spoke up against Sengoku's announcement.

Sengoku knocked on the table. The sound was light but the everyone toned down almost immediately.

”I am aware of the risk. However, who said we are taking the fight to him? He will come here.”
