234. Stealing Food

Everyone fell silent when they heard Tama.

Leo reached out and rubbed her head, "Every day from now on will be the same."

Tama giggled. She liked it when Leo doted on her.

"Eat your fill, I need to get some fresh air."

He got up and went outside. Flare followed him.

Walking out Leo's face changed. The air around him changed visibly as cold murderous intent filled his eyes.

"Flare, I changed my mind. We are gonna kill the Beast Pirates."

Flare nodded. He was also angry. What kind of hardship must a child go through for her to be so happy by eating a bowl of red bean soup. He didn't know. But the thought of it filled his heart with murderous intent.

"What should I do, sir?"

Leo said, "Find the other strawhats. If they are here to help that Kozuki clan kid then they must have a plan. We'll provide support."

Flare frowned, "Sir, isn't it much simpler if you just take care of Kaido. Cut off the head, that's cleaner."

Leo shook his head, "Oden's idiocy led this country into what it is now. If it is won back so easily people won't understand it's value. If rhey want their country back, they need to bleed."

Flare nodded.

Leo thought for a second and said, "Also, find which town has lots of food."

At this moment Tsuru came out. She heard Leo and asked, "Why do you need to know that? Don't tell me you plan on snatching food."

Leo replied, "That's exactly what I plan to do."

Tsuru said seriously, "I know you are strong but Kaido and Orochi has been ruling this country for years. They have eyes and ears everywhere, if you snatch something from them they will know and they will come after you."

Leo grinned when he heard her, "Let them come, I am right here."

Tsuru saw the look in his eyes and knew she couldn't persuade him so she said, "It's better you know where to go rather than fly around headlessly."

"Go in that direction. You'll reach Bakura town, that's where the officials live. Tributes pass through that place every day."

Leo nodded. All of them headed back inside and saw Luffy and Tama stuffing their mouth full.

Leo turned to Zoro and asked, "Now tell me the situation around Kozuki Momonusuke."

Zoro nodded and explained, "Twenty years ago Momonosuke's mother threw them to the future...

He explained the situation. Leo was startled when he heard about time travel. He had heard about this concept in his last life.

"So you guys plan to gather the rest of Oden's vassals and form an army before storming Onigashima."

Zoro nodded.

Leo suddenly asked, "What do you make of Kaido's strength?"

Zoro frowned. For his teacher to ask such a question, it means he is not confident of their plan.

Leo shook his head and explained, "No matter how greatly you overestimate Kaido's strength, you will always underestimate it."

Zoro asked, "Is he that strong, teacher?"

Leo nodded, "Kaido is beast, a true monster. His body is tough and has incredible healing ability. His busoshoku haki is top notch, his kenbunshoku haki is on the weaker side but he makes up for it with his brute strength."

"If there is a ranking for Yonko then he would be at rank 2 with Big Mom and Blackbeard coming in at 3rd and 4th. Don't think it's a small difference, at their height a single level means an insurmountable mountain to normal people."

Zoro tuned solemn. His teacher had fought Kaido two years ago, he knows first hand about Kaido's strength.

Leo stood up, "Anyway, you don't have to worry about Kaido anymore. Just play your part and take care of the rest."

Zoro asked, "Teacher, you mean...

Leo nodded.

Zoro let out a breath of relief. With his teacher's strength it's a guaranteed win.

Leo asked, "So what's your next plan?"

Zoro said, "Head to the next town. Our friends are in different parts of Wano recruiting people for the army."

Leo nodded, "That's good. Let's go together."

Zoro had no problem with that.

Tama was resting on the floor when she heard Leo. She got back on her feet and ran to him, "Big brother, are you going to the next town?"

Leo knew why she was asking that, he smiled, "We are going."

Tama smiled.

Not long after they said goodbye to Tsuru and left for the next town.

It didn't take them long to reach there.

Leo's spiritual sense spread out and combed through the town. A lot of information flooded his mind, his mind automatically filtered irrelevant information and focused on what he was looking for.

Not here. Guess I'll have to wait.

Seeing that the tribute wasn't here they decided to wait it out. Luffy, Zoro and Flare had already gone off to find the other strawhats.

Leo was holding Tama as he walked around the town. Unlike before this place was lively and had life to it.

Tama smelled a nice fragrance. Her mouth drooled.

Leo caught her drooling and found the source of that aroma. It was a noodle shop. He walked into the shop.

"Boss, two large servings."

Very soon two large bowls were placed infront of them. Hot air rose from the bowl, it was very enticing.

Leo gave Tama a pair of chopsticks, "Let's dig in."

Tama held the bowl and ate slowly. She looked very happy.

Leo smiled as well and ate.

They cleaned out the bowl and left the shop.

Right on time.

As they left the shop Leo's spiritual sense locked onto a large cart filled with fruits, grains and meat moving through the streets.

Leo picked up Tama and stood right in the middle of the road. Not long after the large cart appeared in his sight.

He looked at Tama asked, "Tama, do you want others at that town to have more to eat."

Tama nodded strongly, "I do!"

Leo raised his head and focused on the large cart, "Then let's make it happen."
