8717 words... This isn't even my final form!! Dammit! Few more I can say it over 9000!!

This is my first time doing a full fighting scene. Tell me if it's good.

_____________________

100 kilometers away from Leo's mansion, there was a rocky place between mountains. This place usually filled with Danger beasts all day long, but today they ran out of this place for some reason.

The wind was blowing slightly stronger as the sky was cloudy tonight. The moon isn't showing up in this place as it was covered with clouds. All these signs show that a storm will hit this place, but it didn't seem it'll happen anytime soon.

Suddenly, Leo arrived at this place from the sky as he landed gently on the ground with the wind cyclone around him.

*Boom*

This is the sound of Whitebeard falling from the sky and creating a crater on the ground before he stood up and looked at Leo.

"I suppose this is the place you have chosen" Whitebeard observed this place slightly before he looked at Leo that was putting his hand on Yamato.

"Yeah, I guess it suitable and no one will bother us that much" Leo nodded towards Whitebeard calmly as he was also observing the surrounding.

"Hey, Kid..." Whitebeard looked at Leo for a while before he said " Did something happen?"

"Hm? What do you mean?" Leo raised his eyebrow but Whitebeard stared at him again before he said " You seem a little bit off"

Whitebeard felt Leo now is somehow different from usual, it was like he had something on his mind right now.

"Little bit off? Well, I could say the same for you, old man" Leo opened and closed his left-hand fist as he was checking if everything is perfect for this fight.

"GUHAHAHAHA!! I guess I also have my own problems" Whitebeard laughed a little before he said " So, do you want to talk about it?"

"I don't know, but I don't think I'm in for a talk right now" Leo clenched his left fist, as the Boosted Gear appeared but he didn't activate it.

Leo is able to control the Boosted Gear to work at the moment he wants to without it keeping wasting his energy by boosting. This is because of Ddraig memories and the fact he can control his Ki.

"Neither am I..." Whitebeard lifted his giant naginata and hit the ground with it raising the dust before he looked at Leo and said " I hope you're ready"

"No need to tell me, old man... I'm putting my life on this" Leo felt every beast on his body like Gold Experience, Yamato, Venom, and wind cat, even his own glasses to make sure they're ready.

"....." Whitebeard stared at Leo seriously for a second before he lifted his giant naginata and hit the ground with it before he said " If you're able to make one wound on my body, then you're the winner". This is Whitebeard's signal to start the battle as Leo felt he completely changed at this moment.

Whitebeard that was already intimidating is now terrifying, and if there a word Leo can use to describe him now is a monster.

{This pressure... Conqueror Haki? Even without it been activated it still brings me this pressure} Leo stared at Whitebeard as he was releasing a very terrifying aura { I fighting a losing battle now}

{He's above me in both power and experience, even if I try to narrow the gap with the Boosted Gear. I don't think it'll work as he'll not just watch me boost without doing anything} Leo took a deep breath before he put his right hand on Yamato handle and Venom tightened on Leo's body as he gave him full increase in power { I can't fight head-on directly or I'll lose very badly... It seems this will be a dance on the edge}

*BOOST*

"But... Therefore it's interesting!" Leo smiled as his power doubled before he pulled Yamato and vanished from his place.

"Hm?" Whitebeard raised his eyebrow before he moved his naginata to the left and block Leo's sword as sparks appeared between them.

"Is this all you got?" Whitebeard clenched his naginata before swinging it to the left, but Leo disappeared at that moment.

*Boom*

A shock wave hit the place where Whitebeard struck, which shatter multiple rocks in its way before it stopped.

But before Whitebeard looked at where is Leo now. He hurried and waved his naginata backward as he broke 4 blue blades.

Leo appeared 10 meters away from Whitebeard as he was observing him { the wave that scanned this place must be the observation Haki, and there was something covering his naginata... It must be armament Haki}

{Haki...} Leo looked at Whitebeard that turned to look at him {It seems I have my first goal}

But before Leo thought more, Whitebeard disappeared from his place, which made Leo widen his eyes before he used Yamato, and teleported instantly.

*CRASH*

Whitebeard appeared in the place where Leo was standing and hit it with his naginata, as he made a giant crater and raised dust to the sky.

"You shouldn't be distracted at the battle" Whitebeard pulled his naginata but he suddenly looked upward to see 5 blue blades aiming at him and his observation Haki spotted many small wind needles aiming at his vital spots.

Whitebeard rotated his naginata quickly as he created an airflow which made all the needles and the blades change their course but in Whitebeard surprise. The needles circled with the airflow as they became faster and flew at him while the blades disappeared and emerged very close to him.

Whitebeard hurried and covered himself with the armament Haki and blocked all the weapons, but before Whitebeard raised his head. The observation Haki caught a lot of things appearing around him, but this time even Whitebeard instinct is telling him this is dangerous, so he activated the Haki hardening as his skin was covered in black metal.

*Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang* *Clang*

Sword slashes appeared from nowhere and hit Whitebeard in his vital spots like head and heart, but his armament Haki blocked them as sparks were flying around. Whitebeard didn't stop as he put his naginata alongside his neck and blocked Leo's sword from slashing it.

Whitebeard stared at the Yamato that was glowing with blue light as he felt his Haki can't block this sword, and if his naginata, Murakumogiri wasn't one of the 12 series, it'll break immediately.

*BOOST*

Whitebeard felt the strength of Leo doubled before he waved his naginata, but Leo just teleported from there.

"You also shouldn't be distracted, old man" Leo appeared away from Whitebeard as he stared at him, but his hand was trembling now.

{When I made a contacted him... His Haki damaged me} Leo frowned as he stared at Whitebeard Haki { I need to take care of it first}

"It seems you have a lot of tricks" Whitebeard squinted his eyes towards Leo before he said " Do you think they could help you?"

"Who knows? Let's see" Leo smiled at whitebeard before he vanished again.

Whitebeard didn't even change his expression, as he waved his naginata downward exactly where Leo appeared.

Leo watched this giant naginata coming directly at him without an expression as an airflow appeared around Yamato before Leo waved his sword.

*Clang*

The two weapons collided, creating sparks and shockwaves, but something happened at this moment. In Whitebeard's eyes, his naginata slipped before Leo's sword, as Leo gently moved the sword and made Whitebeard hit the ground, which made another cloud of dust.

Leo didn't miss this chance and aimed his sword towards Whitebeard's head. Whitebeard saw this as he rotated his grip on the naginata and swooped to the left. But Leo vanished again with a blue glow.

Whitebeard frowned as he felt when his weapon collided with Leo, a small wind around the sword made his naginata slip and directed his power against him.

{More tricks} Whitebeard got bored from these tricks before he raised his naginata and stuck his right because this is where his Haki spotted Leo, but he felt nothing.

*CRASH*

The naginata hit the ground which destroys it into pieces and create more dust, but Leo wasn't there. The only thing that was there is a golden orb that was cut in two by the naginata.

Whitebeard stared at this thing for a split second before his danger instinct kicked in and made him use Haki hardening to cover his neck and move his head to the side.

*Pfff*

A blue light flashed across Whitebeard's neck as a wound appeared on it and blood was leaking.

Leo did a spin in the air before he landed 12 meters away from Whitebeard that put his hand on his neck and saw the blood.

"You shouldn't underestimate tricks, old man..." Leo waved his sword gently as he was looking at Whitebeard before he said " I think this is enough for you to be serious"

{ Observation Haki has been cracked successfully} Leo didn't change his expression as he saw Whitebeard clenching his fist.

Ki is a very wonderful thing. Not only it represents the life force of the living being, but it also holds some nature concepts like the four elements which are water, earth, fire, and wind. As the water being the most close and wind the less close to Ki. But if someone has enough control over this energy. He can distort someone else spirits or spiritual energy because spirit and life are very close to each other, and this is what Leo did here.

Leo studied Whitebeard observation Haki's spiritual wave from all that scan he was doing, and his Ki when they clashed, which allows him to block that scanning and made Whitebeard think a slight amount of his Ki is actually himself.

*BOOST*

At this moment, Leo boost reached three which means his power multiplied by 8 times, but this wasn't enough { I need more power to do this... This is really a dance on the edge}

The ground under Leo's foot was glowing with a golden light, and every place he stepped on was golden under the surface.

"GUHAHAHAHAHAAH!!!" Whitebeard started laughing out of nowhere before he raised his naginata and looked at Leo.

"Not bad, Kid... But" Whitebeard smile vanished as he looked at Leo and said " At this moment, I'm serious... Don't die, kid"

Leo's eyes widened as all his beasts were warning him. The spider-sense was tingling, the cat felt a disturbance in the wind, even Leo felt a Ki in the front which made him teleport instantly from that place.

*CRASH!!!!!*

A giant shock wave hit the place where Leo was standing as Whitebeard appeared there, and his other self in the last location vanished like a mist... It was an after image made by speed.

Whitebeard didn't stop as he vanished again and appeared 20 meters away, waving his naginata at Leo that appeared a split second before him.

Leo responded instantly as he stuck Whitebeard naginata with Yamato that was covered by an airflow, but this time the impact crushed the ground beneath Leo before the naginata slip from the sword, as Leo felt his arms almost broken.

Whitebeard didn't give Leo any chance to respond as he raised his empty hand and punched directly towards Leo's face. But an airflow appeared around Whitebeard's arm in an attempt to change his target. Whitebeard felt the wind as he crushed it by force while the fist got closer to Leo's face.

"MUDA!!!" At this moment, Gold Experience appeared from Leo's body and punched Whitebeard's arm from the side with a speed even Whitebeard wasn't able to feel it clearly.

Even if Whitebeard wasn't able to see or feel Gold Experience now. He's still able to locate him by the change in the wind movement.

Whitebeard felt his arm was hit as it changed its direction, but he forced it and moved the target toward Leo's chest, however, something happened at that moment.

Whitebeard saw his fist and his body went through Leo's body, but when he turned back, he saw his body standing still there without moving.

This is the ability of Gold Experience as it separates someone else senses and turns them berserker, which allows it to confuse the enemies.

{Now!!} Leo saw this and waved his sword towards Whitebeard's chest, but Whitebeard's body moved at that moment as he raised his naginata and blocked Leo's sword.

{What!!... Did he control his body remotely using Haki?!} Leo felt surprised, but Whitebeard senses returned to normal at that moment, as he turned his head towards Leo. But he was greeted with Gold Experience fist that was covered with the compressed wind to the face.

"MUDA!!!" Gold Experience hit Whitebeard's face as the wind exploded in his face, which made him retreat a few steps away before he regained his balance.

*BOOST*

Leo's power is 16 times the normal condition, even his beasts that have a connection with his body like Gold Experience got stronger, but this isn't enough.

{This won't work. I need one last hit...} Leo watched Whitebeard that was dragging his feet on the ground before he looked at Gold Experience as an idea appeared in his mind.

Whitebeard that recovered from the hit raised his head instantly because he read a booming sound, as something appeared in front of him... It was Leo with a kick covered in wind aiming at his chest.

Whitebeard didn't have any time to respond, so he raised his arm to protect himself, but Leo changed his direction mid-air and hit his head.

*BOOM*

This time Whitebeard was sent flying slightly by the wind shock wave but before he recovered quickly as he looked at Leo landing gently before putting Yamato in its scabbard. A blue space distortion engulfed Whitebeard as a lot of wind blades, and 10 blue blades surrounded him instantly.

Leo felt his body cracking as a gold Ki glowed on him before it healed him slightly. If Kaguya was here, she'll see that Leo now is covered by Gold Experience as he gained all his powers like speed.

{These tricks won't work anymore} Leo knows that he only got Whitebeard by surprise because he doesn't know his abilities, but now anything he tries again will backfire on him.

"Hm?!" Whitebeard that was inside the space distortion felt the danger inside to he wanted to use armament Haki to harden his body but... His Haki isn't working now.

Whitebeard felt the moment he wanted to use armament Haki his body twitched from the places Leo hit him before. It was like his body was a gear and now it stuck from those places. This is Leo using the same principal to nullify Whitebeard Haki and block it by putting some of his Ki inside Whitebeard's body.

{ Observation Haki and armament Haki... The two of them got cracked like this... How long has it been? Not even a minute and he did all of this} Whitebeard smiled as he looked at Leo before he raised his hand {It seems I really underestimate those tricks}

A white bubble appeared around Whitebeard fist as the air vibrated before he punched to the front {But against absolute power... All the tricks are useless}

*Crack* *Crack* *Crack*

Leo heard the sound of glass shattering as he saw the air with the space got shatter by one fist of this man before him. All the space distortion and the blades crushed instantly, but Leo didn't have time to admire the scenery, as he teleported from that place. At that moment, the shock wave hit everything to the front, which destroyed it completely. The ground was shaking like an earthquake hit this place as the terrain of the front was changed by one fist from Whitebeard.

Leo appeared far away from the shock wave as he was slightly surprised by the damage caused by one punch from Whitebeard, but he didn't have time as Whitebeard put his naginata down and raised his two fists before punching again.

*Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack**Crack*

The same bubble in his hands and the same cracking sound, but this time it was bigger and more terrifying as the shock wave filled with intense vibration rushed quickly towards Leo's location.

Leo teleported, but at the moment he appeared elsewhere. Whitebeard spotted him instantly as he attacked again, which gave him no chance of quick teleportation.

*BOOST*

Leo felt his power reach 32 times as he stopped the Boosted Gear and looked at the shock wave destroying everything and rushing towards him before he took a deep breath and pulled Yamato quickly from its scabbard.

"Meow~~" the eyes of the cat above Leo's head glowed green before winds that were generated by Whitebeard's last attacks rushed towards Yamato and covered it, as Leo waved.

A giant wind blade appeared from the sword and rushed towards the shock wave, but if anyone notices the blade closely. He'll see the wind was spinning to the right at a quick speed.

The shock wave filled with vibration hit the wind blade, and in Whitebeard's shocked eyes the shock wave didn't destroy the blade, but it changed its direction to the right without hurting Leo, and he had to punch again to destroy the blade that almost hit him.

"Why are you surprised?" Leo looked at Whitebeard's shocked face before he said " You know better than me that your vibration is carried by the air, and I'm able to control that air, so guess what'll happen?"

"Your quake fruit range attack is basically useless now because you can't control the shock wave, right?" Leo put Yamato in his scabbard as he put a sword drawing position.

This is a weakness of the quake fruit that Leo spotted by feeling the air and wind. The quake fruit allows Whitebeard to generate vibrations and use them to send shock waves, but he can't control the shock waves he sends which allowed Leo to use this loophole to nullify his ranged attacks.

Whitebeard looked at Leo before he started to shack. He was happy now. He even wants to laugh. The quake fruit which considered the strongest had such a flaw, and this Kid discovered it in less than a minute. How can't he be excited now? The fruit that everyone thought it was invincible was cracked simply like that.

Even if he was serious earlier. Whitebeard didn't take Leo as an enemy, but now... He'll be fighting a battle of life and death.

Whitebeard looked at Leo for a second before he rushed towards him using shave, which is a technique from navy six styles that allow the user to move at extremely high speed.

Whitebeard raised his naginata as it was covered in a quake bubble before he waved it. The naginata draw an arc in the air as the space was broken. But Whitebeard raised his eyebrow because... He missed the target.

Whitebeard looked behind him as a giant wind blade was rushing towards him before he waved his naginata and destroyed it. Glancing at Leo, Whitebeard frowned.

Whitebeard felt the wind was strange when he rushed towards Leo. It was like there was no resistance in the middle of the journey, which made his speed increase suddenly and lose control.

{Wind resistance... This Kid} Whitebeard raised his naginata as he looked at Leo { Shave is useless now and moonwalk is also the same}

"Did you figure it out? Well, that doesn't matter..." Leo looked at Whitebeard before he disappeared from that place.

Whitebeard raised his guard to prepare for any trick that might come, but he suddenly felt a pain in the chin as he was sent flying by a punch from Leo.

{I didn't see it... Nor I felt it...} Whitebeard recovered before he noticed what wrong { The wind... There was no sound or movement to tell me his location}

{He figured it out... I need to hurry!!} Leo removed the wind resistance around him as he rushed with a speed he wasn't able to calculate right now. Mach 1? Mach 2? Or maybe Mach 5? Leo didn't know the speed he was going in, but his body was already cracking and blood is leaking from it even with Venom protection. Leo's eyes are basically useless at this speed, so he has to use the wind and Ki with Venom and Gold Experience to determine his location.

Leo crossed the distance of 12 meters in the blink of an eye before he raised his foot and kicked towards Whitebeard's head.

But before he hit Whitebeard's head, Leo released the wind on his foot and moved away from this place, as his foot was bleeding while Whitebeard was pushed slightly.

Whitebeard body now is vibrating, which made a defense around him that Leo can't breach directly.

{This is troublesome…} Leo frowned as his foot recovered quickly from the damage by using Gold Experience.

Whitebeard didn't waste any moment before he raised, picked his naginata and put a waving position. A quake bubble appeared on the naginata, but this time the bubble was slightly twisted before he swung as the shock wave destroyed everything while rushing to Leo.

Leo noticed this and gathered the wind before launching his rotating wind blade, but this time... The shock wave only weakened slightly before it reached Leo.

Leo saw this as he stabbed the ground with Yamato and used it as a center to create a dome of rotating air. But even if he weakened the shock wave, it still hit him. Leo felt his body shaking while receiving damage, even his internal organs were damaged slightly.

Whitebeard cracked Leo trick by a very simple thing which was rotating his vibration slightly. The rotating vibration shock wave destroyed Leo's defense, but it wasn't enough because this is the first time Whitebeard use this technique.

"Old man..." Leo frowned as he watched Whitebeard looking at him {It seems I'm not the only one learning here, huh}

{Well, I guess it'll be boring if it was only me doing things here} Leo clenched his grip on Yamato as prepared to Whitebeard next attack.

Whitebeard used shave again as he rushed again, but he got interpreted by Leo wind changing, however, this time he was able to move normally which made Leo apply the wind resistance again to confuse him.

{Dammit! I can't continue this!!} Leo is in a race with time. Even with the support of Gold Experience, his energy is limited and he'll fall down eventually, which means he needs to hurry up and end this.

Leo rushed towards Whitebeard with a speed beyond sonic, as he stuck his neck with his sword but, Whitebeard was able to block like he saw it coming. Leo even noticed that his armament Haki is coming back which made him frown.

Whitebeard wasn't able to feel Leo, but that doesn't mean he can't feel other things. Like the ground where Leo stepped on and the wind that he left after moving. Those things helped Whitebeard to locate Leo's position by his battle instinct.

Leo looked at Whitebeard that was about to send vibrations through the weapon before he smiled as small ladybugs were on his sword and body.

Whitebeard activated his fruit as he sent his strongest quake to Leo, but he coughed blood because he felt his body getting cracked from everywhere.

Leo wasn't better because Gold Experience wasn't able to reflect all the damage as it also cracked his body, but he was smiling because Whitebeard isn't able to heal unlike him.

Whitebeard punched towards Leo with a fist covered in a quake bubble while Leo did the same and counter it with his left hand using the Boosted Gear and spinning compressed wind.

The two fists collided as a giant shock wave hit the place and both Leo and Whitebeard coughed blood from the vibrations and damage but unlike Whitebeard that bleeding from everywhere Leo injuries were healing at a quick speed.

Leo raised his foot slightly before he vanished and appeared behind Whitebeard as he slashed with Yamato, but Whitebeard counters him by his naginata which made another shock wave and more damage to both the fighters.

Whitebeard wanted to attack Leo that was in the air, but Leo suddenly stepped on the air and vanished again as he launched another attack on Whitebeard, but it got blocked.

{Moonwalk? No, it just using the same principle} Whitebeard watched how Leo changed his direction in mid-air before he attacks Leo again.

Leo kept vanishing and appearing around Whitebeard as he launched multiple attacks on him from slashes to punches, even sending spatial attacks, but it got blocked by his quake fruit which made more damage to both of them.

Leo knows he almost commits suicide here, if he wasn't able to direct Whitebeard power using wind and reflect it by Gold Experience he'll die, but he can't stop. He knows that he's unable to damage Whitebeard effectively by his attacks, especially after he activated his quake fruit, so he needs to use Whitebeard power to damage him even if it meant to be affected as well.

{This kid recovery is almost reaching Kaido…} Whitebeard felt his body getting more damaged, but what made him frown is that every time he collides with Leo something was leaving his body before he felt slightly tired. Whitebeard widens his eyes instantly before he raised his fist and hit the ground as an enormous shock wave made Leo retreat.

{It too late now, old man} Leo grinned as he felt the Ki he took from Whitebeard. All Leo attacks were aimed at stealing Whitebeard Ki to weaken him before the grand final.

Leo bit his lips before he clenched Yamato that glowed with a bright blue light before he waved and cut Whitebeard shock wave in two.

Without giving Whitebeard a chance, Leo sprinted quickly as he slashed with Yamato. Leo attack only left flashed in the air because of the extreme speed but Whitebeard could block all of them as he raised his naginata and stuck Leo.

Leo watched the giant naginata without fear before he smiled and waved his sword but at that moment Whitebeard punched which made Leo do the same and counter it as the naginata slipped from the sword.

Whitebeard tried to recover his naginata, but Gold Experience separated from Leo's body and kicked it, which made the naginata hit the ground and Venom threw some thick web at it.

Whitebeard frowned before pulling naginata forcibly, but Gold Experience hit Whitebeard's head again, which made all the Ki in his body and senses berserker again.

Whitebeard that was separated from his body again looked at his body that was dragging his feet on the ground while something was approaching him. This made him sigh before he used the last thing he didn't use until now.

A very powerful pressure was generated from Whitebeard, which made the air feel heavy as Gold Experience stop in his place.

Leo felt the pressure rushing towards him as he recognized it. The Haki that only the one who has the qualification of the king may have… The conqueror Haki! But he was prepared for it.

Whitebeard looked at Leo, raising his weird gauntlet before his conqueror Haki hit it. At that moment, Whitebeard saw a giant red dragon covered in flames before he felt his mind hit with a hammer which made him stop the conqueror Haki.

"Hm?" Ddraig that was comforting himself inside the Longinus by saying 'It's okay, that isn't real. It's can't happen now. I'm still the great Red Dragon Emperor, one the two heavenly dragons. Yeah, it can't happen now.' But he got interrupted as he felt a pressure hit him before he said after he saw the situation outside " Did you just use me as a shield?"

"You're a gauntlet, what do you expect me to do?" Leo controlled Gold Experience as it reached Whitebeard instantly after the pressure was gone, but Ddraig said " Punch people!"

Gold Experience raised his two fists that were covered in the wind before he launched a barrage of punches towards Whitebeard " MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA MUDA!!!"

Punches hit Whitebeard's body like a rain of bullets as he wasn't able to anything because he was suffering from the Ddraig dragon pressure attack, but he clenched his teeth and his eyes became bloodshot before he forced his senses to his body by Haki.

Whitebeard Looked at the front before he clenched his fist and used his strongest quake to punch as his fist collided with Gold Experience that was launching the final hit. " MUDA!!!"

*BOOOOOOM*

A gigantic shock wave hit the place as the space and air cracked again. Whitebeard was forced to retreat to the back but Gold Experience right arm shattered from the impact and so did Leo's right arm as he drooped Yamato while the blood rushed like a fountain.

Leo clenched his teeth to focus as he commanded the cat to use wind, and he punched the ground using the Boosted Gear.

*TRANSFER*

The power rushed from the Boosted Gear and spread into a web made of golden lines under the ground before a dark light flashed and it started to transform into something.

Whitebeard tried to stop his movement, but he noticed two winds platforms under his foot which made him slip for a few meters before he used the quake to stop.

However, he was exactly where Leo wanted him as few red light spots were raised from the ground as they resembled fireflies.

Red flowers appeared from the ground before they bloomed and released thousands of those red fireflies in the air but Whitebeard frowned at this scene because he was in the middle of the battlefield and those fireflies surrounded him instantly, which gave him an awful feeling.

But this wasn't the time to admire these flowers, as Whitebeard raised his fist with the quake bubble and punched to the front.

*CRACK*

The air and space cracked again as the shock wave hit these fireflies, but something unexpected happens.

*EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION* *EXPLOSION*

The fireflies exploded in Whitebeard's face and turned into bright red flames as they fall to the ground and made more flowers, which released more fireflies. But what made Whitebeard shocked is that his vibration weakened by the explosions as the shock wave only reached 30 meters now.

The flames also made Whitebeard frown because of how hot they were. Whitebeard could feel the intense heat as the ground melted to magma before new flowers appeared.

"I said you shouldn't underestimate tricks, old man" Leo stood up slowly as he was clenching his torn arm and feeling his body emptied from power before he said " I may be weaker than you but don't underestimate my power, old man"

"Even the smallest things can make a difference if they're used in the correct place… And if you ignore that then…" Leo was panting as he said " You'll suffer even if you're strong"

Whitebeard waved his fists again and again. He even used his naginata but the fireflies only exploded more and created more flowers, flames, and magma which made it very hard to see Whitebeard in the middle of those fireflies as they reached millions in number now.

These flowers and fireflies or rather be called seeds are a whole beast made from Ki that simulated fire and some of Ddraig firepower by using the boost on it. The beast extended deeply into the ground before it creates flowers that launch its seeds to the air, imitating some plants in nature. The seeds are high compressed fire elements that explode the moment they contact anything or when Leo choose to do so, as they create some flames and a shock wave in the air when they explode.

The flames fall to the ground as they make more flowers that launch thousands of seeds to attack the target, but this isn't what stopped Whitebeard now. The shock wave of ten thousand seeds are exploding as a buffer against Whitebeard vibrations and shock waves which made it lose its power. Whitebeard shock waves hit the seeds as they explode and create their own shock wave which weakens his until it stops while the flames damage Whitebeard directly. This is a simple solution, but it very effective.

But this wasn't the ending. Leo looked at the sea of flames around Whitebeard and the extremely hot air around it before he commanded the cat above his head.

"Meow~~" the cat raised his paw as the wind blow and carried the hot air to the sky towards the already dark clouds. The wind kept blowing and carried a massive amount of dry and extremely hot air before the clouds turned black and started flashing with light as thunder sound was heard after a while. This phenomenon is when wildfires create their own whether it usually be rain, or now it's a thunderstorm.

*BOOST*

*TRANSFER*

Leo forced his already weak body as he boosted before transferring the power to the wind cat as it glowed with a green light before staring at the thunderstorm in the sky.

"Meow~~" the wind spirit controlled the wind as a cyclone appeared in the sky and started to drag the thunder clouds towards Whitebeard that was suffering from the flowers as he wasn't able to send shock waves for more than 10 meters now and his skin got burned badly. But he was smiling.

{ Splendid... Really amazing… Can you use fire and explosives like this? Even the smallest things can make a difference, huh} Whitebeard covered himself with a quake bubble as he looked at the flames and the thunderclouds rushing towards him. He can't even escape now because if he dared to contact those fireflies their flames will cause more damage to him even with his quake, and the fact he's tired now isn't helping him.

{If Ace can use his brain like you, he might be able to fight me longer…} Whitebeard smiled slightly before he dropped his naginata and raised his hands.

{However…} Whitebeard put his fingers like claws and caught the air at this moment "Don't think this is enough!! Kid!!"

Whitebeard pulled the air at this moment as the space, air, and world itself were rotating at this moment in Leo's eyes.

*BOOOOOOOM*

Flames, thunder clouds, ground, space, and the air got crushed by Whitebeard at this moment without mercy as a gigantic shock wave was destroying everything even the world was tilting at this moment.

"SHIT!!!" Leo raised his only remaining hand as Yamato teleported to it before he cut the space to the front even if his body was screaming at him now.

A dark blue space crack appeared before the wind spirit used the wind even if it tried to protect Leo and Venom stretch while Gold Experience used his body as it is more durable than Leo.

The shock wave hit Leo like a nuclear bomb as it destroyed everything in its way. The ground cracked and mountains shattered like it was the end of the world. Under this power, Leo's defense only persisted for a moment before he was swept with the shock wave.

Leo felt he was in a blender as his body was getting destroyed and repaired, but the damage exceeded the repair before he was launched for more than 100 meters away.

*CRASH*

Leo's body or what left from it hit the mountain wall as he was coughing blood while he was feeling his body condition.

{Righ hand is broken, ribs are broken, Legs are also broken, and the internal organs are damaged badly… The heart is also crushed… Start to move the blood manually. Lord, you're in a very critical condition. You need to stop} Leo body now is very damaged. Some of his beasts like glasses and headphones got destroyed in that impact, while Venom is damaged badly now and Gold Experience has the same injuries as Leo. The only ones who were safe and sound were Yamato with its durability and wind spirit as it turned back to its spirit form to avoid damage.

Honestly, Leo wants to give this little cat the MVP for this fight. He only made it because the wind abilities are convenient, but it saved his life many times during this fight.

{I see… Then…} Leo forced his remaining Ki to transform the rocks behind him to recover his body slightly before he said in his mind because he can't talk now { Hey… Ddraig}

{You'll continue this fight in your condition?} Ddraig didn't encourage Leo or stopped him because this is his fight and it's his choice.

{Yeah… But I don't think I'll win…} Leo moved his body slightly, but he wasn't able to stand up.

{Of course, you'll not win… Even if that guy is injured, his condition is still better than you} Ddraig can see the ending of this fight with one last attack from that man.

{I see… Then let's even the odd} Leo coughed blood again as his body got slightly better but his injured heart still making him weak even if Venom was moving blood. { Ddraig, let's do the first part of the project now…}

{What? Do you want to die? You only had the Boosted Gear for a day and it still didn't change your body perfectly, yet} Ddraig frowned as he heard Leo plan… It was to change a part of his body to a dragon. And that part was his heart and lungs.

Boosted Gear users have the same weakness as dragons because of how long the Boosted Gear was in their body which lead to them to have dragon properties, but Leo didn't have it for that long, which will kill him if he dares to do it now.

{It seems you need to look at that partnership of yours… I said let's do it, not you alone… Aren't that right, partner} Leo felt his vision foggy as he saw the cracked ground and the scene of the world end.

{...} Ddraig was speechless for a second before he laughed{ HAHAHAHAH!! You're really a Fool!! Even doing this absolute madness, but... It's your choice, let's see what you got, partner}

Leo didn't have time to respond as he felt his chest was on fire right now and pain equal to when his fused his Boosted gear hit him but it was nothing to him.

Leo felt a red aura filled with very strong power appeared from the Boosted and rushed to the location of his heart before he forced himself and activated Annihilation Maker.

A dark light appeared and started to mix with the red aura as the pain increased but Leo stayed focusing on creating this heart with extra detail. Any mistake now will kill Leo because of the powerful recoil.

Leo felt a second turned into an eternity as he was making this heart and lungs by all that he got before he felt the power from the Boosted Gear vanished.

The time almost stood still at that moment as Leo didn't even move a finger before a clear sound was heard in this place.

*thump* *thump*

A faint sound of heartbeats was heard before they got stronger with every second passing by.

*THUMP* *THUMP*

The sound became loud as it extended to all the surroundings before a red aura appeared around Leo as the ground underneath became golden with every beat and recovered his body at an extreme speed. First his organ recovered before his broken bones fixed, even his torn hand recovered completely.

Leo released a breath as his breath was carrying vapor before sparks appeared from it. Ki? No, it was vitality. Pure vitality that can change into any energy, be it mana or Ki was generating in huge quantities by every breath and heartbeat from Leo.

Leo used his hand and jumped from the mountain wall before he put his left with Boosted Gear on the mountain wall before it transformed into gold with every breath and heartbeat.

Whitebeard was breathing heavily as the injuries covered his body. At the moment of impact, some damage from Leo was transferred to him by Gold Experience in an attempt to save Leo. This is the reason Leo wasn't knocked out from that attack.

Whitebeard frowned because he felt something from afar before he raised his head and saw a figure walking slowly.

Leo was walking slowly, as he was holding something in his left hand, or that thing was his left hand.

Leo left hand now is a giant dragon head with the same design and color as the Boosted Gear. The dragon head was glowing with green color while sending red aura.

But what made Whitebeard surprised is the red aura around Leo and his eyes. Leo's eyes now are vertical, like dragon eyes with a powerful atmosphere generating from them.

"Don't mind me, old man…" Leo raised his left arm as the dragon head was facing the sky before he said " I just finished a power-up and I'm going to use it now… On you"

*BOOSTED GEAR! ANNIHILATION DRAGON!!*

With the sound from the green orb, the dragon head open his mouth and gathered energy, but this wasn't enough nor Leo have time so he used the quick way and paid his vitality as a bullet.

*BOOST*

{One year is enough} Leo used his vitality as a pure white aura entered the dragon head and made it glow brightly with a red color.

{This is kid} Whitebeard smiled even with his injury as he saw Leo with the big dragon head and felt the dangerous aura coming from it. Whitebeard doesn't think he has enough time to rush towards Leo and stop him, so he'll face it head-on.

"Show me what you got, Kid!!" Whitebeard grabbed his naginata and focused all his power and quack on it as a giant white quake bubble appeared on his naginata and spun it slightly.

"This fool… The Boosted Gear responded to him" Ddaig watched Leo from the Longinus space as he smiled and said " Even his crazy ideas worked"

Ddraig looked at Leo's heart and lungs as he felt the power in them as they were able to generate energy just by breathing. Ddraig even felt Leo lungs now are separated spiritual world which made him think that this host will even surpass him in energy aspects in the future if he grows enough.

"Fools are generally mythological figures... Heroes or people that made difference in the world are usually referred to as fools because of how impossible their ideals were" Ddraig closed his eyes slightly because he felt a little weak now. Leo took a lot of energy from him to make those organs.

" They can also be described as meteors. They shine brightly in space and leaving a trail of light wherever they go, but one day they'll burn out and meet the same fate as the other fools" Ddraig took one last look at Leo before he closed his eyes " However, if a miracle happens and the meteor turned into a star that shines brightly. Will you finish this fool journey and own the world? I look forward to see it, partner"

Leo aimed the dragon head towards Whitebeard that was preparing his attack before a red orb appeared inside the dragon mouth

{Sometimes, I really think I'm a fool} Leo raised his empty hand as Yamato appeared before he put it on his left arm.{But… I don't care anymore. As long as I remove that smug smile from this old man's face with some of his memories}

*BOOST*

{Am I even a human now? Maybe a human with special traits or whatever} Blue aura appeared around Yamato before it mixed with the red orb in the dragon mouth.

Whitebeard grabbed his naginata more tightly as the quake bubble grew even larger.

{Humanity was an amazing thing even if it was a disaster at the same time… Especially with some inventions like nuclear bombs} Leo put all his remaining energy in that dragon cannon { But I always wondered can someone defeat a nuke in the simplest way? Without escaping or running from it… And here's my answer}

{I'll become the nuke itself} Leo smiled at Whitebeard as he pulled the trigger and said " Bang"

*LONGINUS SHOT!!*

A red light covered in blue one launched from the dragon head as the color of the world vanished at this moment. Wherever the light goes the space turns into a dark void, as it rushed towards Whitebeard.

"AHHHH!!!" Whitebeard saw this and used all his strength to swing his naginata as a giant quake bubble rushed from the naginata and twisted everything it way before it destroyed it at the same time. The world became completely distorted wherever the quake bubble goes until it hit the red light.

No sound was heard at that moment as the world stood silent before a bright light engulfed all the space of this battle. And only after a while, a scene that shocked the Empire appeared at tonight.

The night… Turned into a day.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

The giant explosion sound heard as the giant mushroom clouds raised to the sky with bright red colors as the ground was shaking violently.

Meanwhile, in Leo's mansion. Kazuma and Misaka were watching the giant mushroom clouds with no expression on their faces.

"Misaka… San" After a while, Kazuma called Misaka without looking away from the mushroom cloud.

"Yes… Kazuma-san" Misaka was staring at the mushroom cloud with a deadpan face.

"That is… A nuke, right?" Kazuma asked before Misaka said " Even if the color and form are slightly different… It's a nuke"

"I see…" Kazuma nodded like he understood before he said " It's Leo… isn't it?"

"Definitely, Leo" Misaka nodded before Kazuma smiled and said " He wasn't joking about the nuke thing"

"It seems he wasn't" Misaka was feeling a headache now while Kazuma was holding his head in pain.

Kazuma felt this group is very dangerous to be in with his minor power {Mom, dad, today I saw a nuke with my friends, and… I'm scared!!!}

Kaguya was sitting inside her room looking at the photo in her hand with a smile while Saitama looked at the mushroom cloud before he rushed towards it.

Dark, only darkness was in this place as the space got destroyed completely before it sucked things into the void until it recovered slowly. The space recovered a bit by bit before everything went back to normal, but this place has changed completely.

All the signs that show this place had mountains and vegetation disappeared as it turned into one big giant hole filled with magma.

Leo was lying on the ground on one of the hole sides as he was looking at the sky without moving before he said " I lost, huh"

Leo words didn't have sadness or anger in them. It was like he just lost a normal game as he was staring at the clouded sky before he heard footsteps coming towards him.

"No…" Whitebeard appeared in front of Leo with very bad injuries on his body before he said " You won…"

Whitebeard was smiling because this fight was enjoyable for him. It quite rare for him to face an opponent that can crack most of his abilities and even turn his power against himself. But if there's one thing to complain about, it'll be that Leo kept attacking his head for some reason.

Leo stared at Whitebeard before he remembered what this guy said at the start as he said " Don't give me that empty talk, old man"

"What the point of winning the battle if you didn't win the war? I lost, nothing will change that" Leo closed his eyes before he opens them as they returned to normal human eyes.

"GUHAHAHAHAH!! I guess that true… Then I'll be waiting but don't think your tricks will work a second time" Whitebeard smiled before he sat down because his body now is exhausted.

" I guess I need new tricks then" Leo smiled before he looked at Whitebeard and said " You'll not consider it, old man?"

Whitebeard said nothing for a while before he looked at Leo and said " You know… Kid"

"It's the duty of a father to carry his son's sins and guide them towards the correct path" Whitebeard smiled like was able to see his sons before he said " No matter what you say this won't change"

Leo stared at Whitebeard before he sighs. Even if sometimes they hinted at in the conversation, but Whitebeard refused any talk about his son's betrayal or something which made Leo slightly helpless.

Gold Experience appeared from Leo's body and put his hand on Whitebeard as Leo used all his last Ki and body power to recover his wounds. Even with the dragon heart and lungs, Leo's body now is too tired to generate any energy.

Whitebeard saw his body returned to normal as all his injuries disappeared even his illness felt better but Leo said " Your illness isn't that easy to cure, old man… You're like a broken cup"

"Your body vitality is always vanishing a bit by bit, so even if I made for you new organs, you'll get sick again quickly" Leo sighed before he said " No matter how much you put from water(vitality) in a broken cup(Body) it'll never fill it, so you need to fix the cup"

"It not like I was planning to live more, but…" Whitebeard stood up from the ground as he said " Getting a chance to stay with my sons and see this new generation isn't that bad too"

"What a stubborn, old man" Leo felt his head hurts now before he said " Do what you want, but… Call us to join the fun"

"Do you think I, Whitebeard, need help" Whitebeard raised his eyebrow before Leo said " That why I'm just joining the fun"

"GUHAHAHAHA!!!" Whitebeard laughed at Leo's words before he said " I'll invite you to get the front seats!"

"However, kid…" Whitebeard stared at Leo before he said " You know it impossible to keep something inside of you forever, especially if you have friends willing to listen to it"

"...." Leo was silent for a while before he said " Yeah, maybe one day… I'll be able to share this with someone else, but now..."

"I REFUSE!!!" Leo's face turned serious as he looked at the slightly shocked Whitebeard before he said " I, Leo Artisaltek, love to say no to people, especially if they were trying to give me a character development!!"

"You can't make me have a character development!!" Leo still had his serious face as Whitebeard stared at him silently before he picked his cracked naginata and walked away from this place. Whitebeard only remembered now he still didn't have dinner.

Leo that was still in his serious form noticed Whitebeard left him alone here " Did he just left me alone"

Leo felt his body that was unable to move, and his tired beasts. Gold Experience lost all his power after healing Whitebeard. Venom still recovering from all that damage. Wind spirit used all his power in the last impact and the fight. Yamato can't activate without energy.

"Meow~~" The wind spirit that was lying on Leo's head poked his face with its paw before Leo said " You don't have any energy, but you still can poke my face?"

"Meow~~" Wind spirit didn't care about Leo as it kept poking his face lightly, like it was a hilarious thing to do which made Leo sigh at his luck today.

Saitama was standing far away from the battlefield as he looked at Leo before walking away. As for helping Leo? This is payback.

And with this, the first day in Akame ga kill world ended. Leo was lying in the middle of nowhere, whitebeard rushed back to have his wine and dinner, Saitama was feeling a little better after he saw Leo, Kazuma and Misaka were doubting life right now, and Kaguya was checking her photos. But the common thing is… They all forget about the task.
