Whoosh~
Kizaru became a speck of light and vanished beyond the horizon.
"Now that the nuisance is out of the way, it's your turn."
Leo turned toward the CP0 agents.
The three CP0 agents were fleeing toward the harbor at top speed.
They could no longer stay aboard the Gran Tesoro. The other three agents had gone silent, and they knew it was time to retreat.
They darted through gaps in the crowd, timing every step to slip between the moving people.
After watching Kizaru get sent flying, Smoker, Momousagi, and Onigumo looked grim. They had already braced themselves to defend.
Just then-
Whoosh-
Leo vanished from where he stood.
Three seconds passed. The three of them paused, then exchanged glances.
Wasn't Leo going to attack them?
Why had nothing happened to them after all this time?
Meanwhile, the three CP0 agents had just reached the harbor and were heading toward an ordinary sightseeing ship in the distance.
Everyone aboard that ship was an ordinary civilian. Their plan was certainly a good one.
All they had to do was blend in and leave with the ship, and they would be home free.
The three CP0 agents quickened their pace, but just as they were about to board-
They stopped in their tracks.
Leo stood right in front of them, his hands in his pockets and his expression calm.
"Since you're here, why not stay a little longer?"
The three CP0 agents' expressions changed. They knew they had been exposed.
Without a word, all three pushed off the ground.
"Soru!"
They bolted in different directions.
Watching the three scatter for their lives, Leo shook his head slightly.
"Why bother? Wouldn't it be easier to just surrender?"
He suddenly pushed off hard.
Bang!
The ground shattered, and Leo vanished instantly.
