Lyon POV

Lets time skip to a day or so after I ran away from that crazy old fuck, & I was told by Dadan that Luffy & Ace ran away into the forest. She also told me that she was glad that they left... a few seconds later she yelled at the other bandits to go find them. I sigh & smile a little, god, she acts so much like a mother

"You seem to be pretty worried about them."

"Like hell!" I raise an eyebrow at her, she crossed her arms & looked away with a blush "O-Okay! I might be a little bit w-worried!"

"Uh huh." I trailed off as I look outside, I then feel her smack the back of my head, doing so my glasses fell off

"DON'T GO TELLING THEM, BRAT!!" I slowly turn to face her & I suddenly started glaring at her, she shrieked again & then suddenly started apologizing, I roll my eyes & pick my glasses up off the ground & put them back on. Present time, I watched as the ASL were building themselves a rather nice treehouse

I helped here & there but they didn't really want it, they wanted to build it themselves. I chuckle when I see Luffy accidentally hammer his thumb, Sabo winced in pain but Luffy just waved it off. They were currently working on the floor when Ace also fell off, I lined up to catch him but fortunately, he was able to grab onto the edge before falling over

"Can you tell us one of your voyages?!" Luffy asked as I sat on a tree branch, I tap my chin

"Hmm, alright, which one?"

"How about, how you got your bounty?!" I hum

"Uh, I think I was 14 at the time when I got my first bounty. Yeah yeah, I was. Let me remember what I did to gain it..."

Flashback

Little 14 year old Leo was on a mission with Izo & Thatch, it was basically talk with a bunch of marines about something & if things go sideways, take them out, steal everything they have & leave like nothing ever happened. Leo had this stone cold look on his face as he stared at them, the marines looked rather threatened with their presence but what really made them scared, was that they were being being threatened... by the child

'How is this kid scaring us? We're grown men for christ sakes!' Leo smirked when he felt them cower in fear, he then felt a hand on his shoulder & saw it was Thatch

"We'll take it from here, Chief." he sighed

"Alright."

'Even his voice sounds frightening!'

"Lets get down to business Marines, you want us, to work with you, to get rid of one of the highest pirates because not even you marines can take care of it?" they nodded

"Hmm, what do you think, chief?" he looked over at them & pulled a thumbs up, the marines sighed in relief but soon enough that thumbs up turned into a thumbs down

"Well, there's your answer." Thatch said with a laugh

"If Lyon says no, then we say no. Hell, why would we even work with marines when we know in the end we'll be back stabbed." Leo nodded at that, he then noticed in the corner of his eye a sniper in a very high place

"Then you leave us no choice." he whispered something into his little transponder snail & waited for a reply but got none, he looked over at the watch tower & cowered in. The sniper was killed by an arrow to the head, he looked back over at Leo & saw that he had his bow aimed right at that watch tower

"How did he get that shot from way down here?!"

"That was an impossible shot!" they look over at the three & see that they have a very sinister look on their faces

"Chief, think you can handle this?"

"Of course, ." when he fired the arrows fazed through them & their insides burned like hell itself

"AH!!! The pain!!!"

"MAKE IT STOP!!" Leo smirked at them & felt a pat on the back from Thatch, he looked over & Izo smiled at him

"Should we go steal their shit?"

"Hey...! Language." Thatch said, Leo rolled his eyes

"Whatever." without looking, he shot another arrow & it went through a marines head... that was also up in the watch tower

"Your improving more & more everyday Leo."

"You think so?"

"Of course!"

"Maybe even better then Shaw."

"Nah, he's way better then me any day."

End Flashback

"Hmm, I think that's right. I don't really remember what happened 3 years ago, lets just say, that's somewhat what happened." I rub my chin, trying to remember harder but I just couldn't, that just kinda sucks

"Wow! So, could you easily see from here all the way to the shack?!" Luffy asked, I shrug

"Maybe, that depends on what I'm shooting at."

"Then, can you help us on hunting?" Ace asked me, I raise an eyebrow & nod my head. I follow them to where they usually get food & see it was a lake... filled with crocodiles. Dang these kids are pretty strong if their dealing with animals 10x their size. Sure I versed pirates & marines but never something that was extremely huge

"You coming?" Sabo asked me as they started going towards them

"Heh, yeah!" I readied my aim & before I fired I looked over & see that they easily took care of a crocodile on their own, I was amazed "Wow, you guys are awesome!"

"Thanks!" I readied my aim again before letting go, easily taking out 2 at the same time. After pulling them out of the water we carried them to the tree house, but as we were passing a tree I noticed a certain something that caught my eye

Initials...

Not just any, one that I haven't seen in 10 years. AKAS. My eyes widened at that as my hand we over it, Atami... Kizuato... Alexander... Shawn. Did they, live on Dawn Island when they were kids, I scratch my chin

"Maybe its just a coincidence that that's there, or it probably stands for something else."

"Leo!" I jump & look over to see it was Sil that called my name "Where have you been? You've been gone for almost an hour."

"What? It only felt like minutes."

"No, you were staring at that for, yet again, almost an entire HOUR!!" I apologize & follow him back, I look back at the initials & wave it off... thinking it was just nothing but an illusion of me missing them

"It has been 10 years..."

(this is basically a random chapter cause I had no fucking ideas what to do for this one so bare with me... please)
