Third Person POV
"Be good for us, okay Leo?" Shaw said as he ruffled his hair, when he moved his hand away Leo's hair went all over the place "Oops, my bad."
"No worries." he smiled at him until her was pulled into a tight hug
"I'm gonna miss you squirt! Annoy Marco for me darling!"
"That's the opposite of what Shaw just asked him." Alex pointed out, she just looked at him & flipped him off
"Fuck off!"
"Why you--" that was when Atami pulled all of them into a group hug, he rolled his eyes & hugged back. As she let go Alex shoved her as payback, which she just glared at him
"Dick." the two walked away & this time Kizu patted his head
"Please grow up to have some brains, unlike those two." they both look over & saw Alex & Atami having a sissy fight, Leo & Shaw snorted while Kizu rolled her eyes with a groan "Please."
"I promise, Kizuato." she smiled at him
"Thanks, chief." she winked at him before putting her helmet on, suddenly he was presented with a bow & a few arrows
(gonna modernize them later)
"For you, thought if your gonna need practice, your gonna need a few for your own." Leo took them from Shaw, put them down on the ground before hugging him
"Thank you!" Shaw sighed happily before hugging him back
"Anything for you." Shaw stood up & waved him off before all four of them jumping off the edge, well, Shaw & Alex flew off with Volpina & Sly, Jinx & Kizu jumped into a boat while Opal & Atami jumped into the water
"See you guys later!"
"Bye!" Leo waved them off & quickly looked at Izo "Can we start training now?!"
"Of course!" he grinned & ran off to the training deck, Izo put his hand on his hip & shook his head "Those four really changed him, he's more open."
"He's more carefree-yoi."

"Atami really rubbed off on him." they look over at him again & saw he was smiling in a Atami like way "Hopefully he doesn't adapt to eating the entire kitchens food." they all nodded
"Definitely."
Time Skip
Leo took a deep breath & pulled back on the arrow then lines his aim up, he followed where wind was blowing before letting go & the arrow went straight to the middle
"Yes!" he looked up at Izo & he smiled down at him, before Shaw left, the two had been teaching Leo more & more about archery, accuracy & a better posture "Do you think I'm getting better?"
"I'd be lying is I said no."
"Really?"
"Of course! Maybe you'll even match up to me, or even greater, Shaw. The kid's younger then me but his skill on guns is always amazing!"
"Do tell."
"Well apparently when Shaw was growing up, he was born & raised as a Noble child but was pretty much neglected his entire life so when he had enough, he ran away when he was only 8. He become a pretty well-known pirate called "Dead Shot" Shawn, never misses a shot & gets the job done. He was a legend to all gunslingers, sharpshooters, you name it!"
"Then what happened?"
"He disappeared! No one had seen him since until the Demon Quad appeared, Atami being 20, Kizu being 19, Alex being 18 & Shaw being 17. They told us that it was just the AKA (Atami + Kizu + Alex = AKA) & they planned on sailing the sea when they all reached the age 17 until Shaw showed up, so their little trio became a quad."
"That sounds nice, I have a brother but he's a real asshole."
"Hey!" Leo flinched & looked at Izo "Language, please."
"Sorry..."
"That's okay, those two are gonna a hiding if I hear you swear again."
"Who?"
"Atami & Alex! All they do is fight fight fight!"
"Do you know why they fight...?" he shakes his head

"Unfortunately, no." suddenly the ship violently shook "What was that...?" they look over & saw a few giant harpoons were wedged into the ship & it didn't look like they were coming out very soon
"Commanders of all Divisions!! Battle stations, now!!"
"We'll carry on the lesson another time, come with me Leo!" Izo grabbed his hand & started dragging him to where pops was
"Divisions 6 to 10, I want to to take on the left flank, 11 to 16 your on the right, the rest we're in the middle & I need a few eyes in the skies other then myself-yoi!"
"Yes sir!"
"First things first we gotta take out the harpoons before taking any further damage, is that clear?!"
"Yes sir!"
"Pops, Marco!"
"What is it-yoi?"
"What do I do with Leo?" they look down at him & see that he was kinda nervous, pops thought for a second
"You said you needed eyes in the sky?" Marco nodded "Leo, do us a favor & stay up in the crows nest. You'll be our eyes & if anything goes wrong, sick em." he looked up at Whitebeard & nodded his head
"Yes pops!" & he ran off, he quickly made it to the crows nest & threw off his glasses
Leo sat up in the crows nest & watched as pops talked with the captain of the pirate crew, they didn't seem friendly at all, he noticed the captain was making hand gestures to one of his crew mates. The guy smirked & ran off somewhere, something fishy is going on
"We have a few terms to make with you, Whitebeard. If one of my crew mates is able to take down one of your Commanders, we take your head & we keep that commander as our own." Whitebeard rolled his eyes
"Uh huh, & if you lose?"
"You take one of ours, deal?" that same guy came back but this time he came back with something, what seemed the scope of a snipe rifle appeared around his right eye & he got a better viewing of what was in the mans hands
'Chains? Those don't look like ordinary chains... they look like, sea prism stone hand chains!'
Flashback
"What are those?" Leo asked as he pointed at the chains that Shaw was tying Alex with, to calm him down
"These are sea prism stone chains."
"These are what weaken a devil fruit user. They are related to the sea for they have the aroma & feeling of the sea in them, they're also made of the same type of stone that can only be found on the sea."
"Hence the name, sea prism stone."
"Unfortunately for Atami, it doesn't weaken her, it burns her like paper with fire or acid & anything."
"Yeah it sucks! It burns like hell but lucky for me, it heals easily. Plus, if a devil fruit user makes contact with it, mostly a logia, they will be defenceless!"
Flashback End
His eyes widened as he remember took out an arrow & lined up his aim, he was a little shaky cause he's never shot a living person before, sure Atami but she can't die & he injuries can easily heal, but this was an actually living person. He pulled back the arrow before letting go, with everyone else, they hadn't noticed that mysterious item that person was carrying
"You sure you don't want to back out, old man?"
"I'm pretty sure." before anything could happen the other ship violently shook
"Captain!"
"What?!"
"Someone shot the ropes to the harpoons, with arrows! So old fashioned!"
"What?!"
"Arrows...?" everyone, but the assholes, whispered
"Whatever! Throw them now!" Marco stumbled back when he saw the sea prism stone chains thrown his way, but they didn't come close when a arrow shot through it & went straight into his eye
"MY EYE!!! CAPTAIN!! SOMEONE SHOT MY EYE!!"
"What the hell?!"
"Yes!"
Lazy Time SKIP
"Well done Leo! You did a excellent job on taking care of those pirates!" Vista exclaimed as he pointed to the sinking ships in the background
"You really think so...?" they all nodded
"Pops! Can we celebrate for Leo's victory?!"
"Why of course!"
"Yeah!!"
(ya know what ya fucks?! This childhood arc is finally over, yay!!!!)
