Chapter 178 - 178. Kumas Goal (1/2)

After treating Zoro she asked Leo to get him to their house. Leo placed him on the couch.

”Why is he here?”

Leo shrugged and explained what happened.

Shinobu had an amused smiled on her face, ”This is getting interesting, a Shichibukai helps out a pirate wanted by the World Government.”

Leo had no clue about what was happening. So he pushed it to the back of his mind and asked, ”What's his condition?”

Shinobu said, ”The people from this world have extraordinary constitutions. This man, Zoro is particularly special, he has got four broken ribs, torn muscles, ruptured lungs and internal bleeding but his physique is so strong that it's already mending itself.”

Leo showed no surprise as he had seen cases like this before, ”How long till he regains consciousness?”

”In a couple of hours. By the way, are you really gonna hide him here?”

Leo nodded, ”They may be pirates but their hearts are in the right place.”

Shinobu smiled. She hugged him and gave him a kiss on his cheek.

”I'll be out with Snow to check on a few herbs I planted inside the forest.”

”Alright.”

Leo sat down comfortably and thought about recent events.

Huuu, it's all messed up.

He closed his eyes and tried to forget about everything, his mind wandered off and he lost focus. After a while he heard some noise and looked over to see Shinobu walking in with a basket filled with wild fruits.

Snow was happily munching on one on her shoulder.

”He hasn't woken up?”

Leo turned to look at Zoro and found him sound asleep.

”Hm, anyway, I am gonna prepare dinner.”

Just as she placed the basket down they all heard someone groaning.

Zoro woke up groggily and found himself in an unfamiliar place. He tried to sit up but felt terrible pain all over his body.

Where am I?

His eyes took some time to focus. The moment they did he saw Leo and Shinobu along with Snow staring at him.

It's him!

”Why are you here?”

Leo was amused when he heard him, ”That's what I should be asking?”

I took serious damage. Admirals are really strong.

Leo strode towards him and asked, ”Now do you understand where you stand in this sea?”

His question struck a soar spot. Zoro had no answer.

Shinobu at this moment gave Zoro a small bottle filled with blue liquid and said, ”Drink it.”

Zoro looked at the vial for a moment and did as she asked. He felt a cooling sensation as the liquid flowed down his throat.

After several seconds he felt his body get a bit more loose. He wasn't as constrained as before.
