"But wait, isn't that flag looking a little familiar," Leo said aloud.

Zoro, who was polishing his swords, stopped when he heard this and gazed at him, "What the problem, and what looks a little familiar,"

"Oh, it's nothing serious. It's just that pirate ship that is coming toward us has a flag that looks a little familiar... wait, one guy just came to the deck," Leo observed while focusing his telescope on that person,

.

On that ship, a person emerged on the ship deck.

That person has a muscular build with very wild and spiky purple hair. He has two tattoos of gears with spirals inside them. He was also wearing a pair of sunglasses.

"Jararara, let's see what kind of thrill I will get from this ship. Naomi gets the crew ready," that person laughed while watching the black pearl sail.

.

.

"Ooh, so it is a treasure pirate's ship," Leo said as he instantly recognized that person.

The mad treasure was the main antagonist of the One piece film heart of gold, a notorious treasure hunter that was active in the New World at that time,

And he was well reputed in the New World with the strength to defeat an agent of CP0, more appropriately known as Cipher Pol Aigis Zero, quite effortlessly, but then he was later beaten by Luffy while using Gear Second and Gear Third simultaneously,

'But so what. I can easily defeat him, as he is now,' Leo thought with complete confidence in himself,

"So, they are pirates, again." Zoro asked without having any reaction to this news,

"Yes, Treasure pirates, you don't need to worry about their captain as I will handle him, and you only need to deal with others," Leo replied with a grin on his face,

"And, what so special about this Treasure pirates captain, that you want to fight him," Zoro inquired.

"And, why did you think of that," Leo asked with a puzzled expression on his face,

Zoro rolled his eyes and replied, "Because you are a lazy asshole that will throw all the fighting on me if you don't find something interesting, or you will just blast them with cannons, so you can relax, and don't you try to deny it because you have already done that with the last group,"

"But, they were are all very weak, and none of them have a devil fruit or some skill that would make the fight intriguing, and also the strongest of them was only at the F power level, which honestly is very weak for me," Leo shoot back at him with a smirk,

"So, I am that weak for you," Zoro asked with a scowl.

"Eh, Zoro, I never specifically said about you. I just mean that anyone below the E- Power Level is too weak for me, even if they have Logia power," Leo replied back with a smug look on his face,

After hearing such a shameless reply, Zoro did not speak any further and just sat on his set while giving Leo a dirty look,

"Ahem! but yes, you are correct about it, as their captain Mad Treasure has eaten Jara Jara no Mi(Chain-Chain fruit), a paramecia type that makes him a Chain human, so you cannot defeat him unless you can cut his chain which is made of iron," Leo explained while ignoring the look Zoro was giving him,

"Well, it will take them a least two hours to reach us," Leo predicted,

"But I don't want to wait for that long. So, Black Pearl at full speed toward them," Leo commanded his ship.

The moment Leo gives that command, the ship accelerates at a rapid pace,

"So, how much faster will she sail at his full speed," Zoro asked while getting ready for the fight,

"Hahaha, Zoro, she is the fastest ship in the sea, the fastest," Leo specified while laughing,

And Black Pearl lives up to those words by covering the distance that any typical sailing ship will take two hours to sail in just under 3 minutes,

.

On the treasure pirate's ship, Mad Treasure was looking at his mostly assembled crew members and was about to speak but was interrupted by his crewmate, Mark from the lookout, who was tasked to look at the ship,

"Captian, quick, you need to look at this. The ship which we were chasing is now sailing toward us at a rapid pace," Mark said with a shocked face while looking at the approaching black ship from the crow's nest,

The Mad treasure was first annoyed for being interrupted while speaking, but after hearing what Mark said, he quickly took out his telescope to look at that ship,

"Jararara, so that ship is that fast, Oa, all of you make sure to not damage that ship too much. I want that ship to be my," Mad Treasure said while looking at the ship that almost approached them,

.

Zoro raised his eyebrows while looking at the speed of the Black Pearl and said, "That's pretty damn fast,"

"Of course, it is 48 times faster than any typical ship of his size, but you don't sound surprised by it," Leo narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Yeah, but compared to other things you have on this ship, it is not that surprising. Heck, I half expect it to have some teleporting power or other crazy things, so being this fast doesn't shock me,"

Leo just shook his head after hearing his words and looked at the treasure pirate's ship that stopped at his ship side at a distance of dozen of meters.

.

When Mad treasure, who was standing with his crew of 20 members, saw that only two teenage boys were on the deck of that ship, he laughed and asked, "Where are your captain boys, tell him to come out and surrender, and if he does it then, I will spare his and both of your lives,"

.

"Leo, are you not going to surrender? He already said he will kill us if you don't," Zoro teased him, knowing full well that he is not a threat to them,

When Mad Treasure heard this, he looked toward Leo and asked, "So, you are the captain boy, well are you going to surrender or not,"

"And If I don't," Leo asked him in a humorous tone.

"Then, I will defeat you and make you my slave," Mad Treasure replied with a voice full of confidence.

After saying that, Mad Treasure quickly used his devil fruit power and said, "Mad Anchor!"

Several chains shoot from Mad Treasure's body and quickly create a bridge between two ships, so his crewmates and he can use it to cross to sea in between them,

The moment the bridge made of iron chains was complete, the treasure pirates quickly rushed to cross it,

When Leo saw this he only have one thought in his mind, 'Should I let them cross it, or not,'
