One more Devil Fruit users. Well Leonard certainly wasn't going to complain, the more firepower the better. Although the inability to swim could become a liability the benefits outweighed the problems. "I guess we might have to invest in some floaties for all you guys." Said the captain sarcastically as he sat back down forgetting to explain to Hikaru about his inability to swim. Taking a deep breath, the full smell of the stew being cooked made the swordsman mouth water he was getting really hungry now. Yet before he would start to eat he needed to ask everyone else.
Looking at the young doctor from the corner of his dark eyes, the captain addressed her concerns. "I don't care who your family is. If your dad finds out about all of us then we'll just have to deal with it when the time comes. If he tries to take you away then... I'll beat the fatherly over-protectiveness out of him!" Leo said smacking his right fist in his right hand as a sign of strength. "If that's okay with you of course." He added jokingly.
"Now I have said what my objective was but I'd like to hear all of yours. What got you all to set out to the sea? What is it each of you are willing to put your life on line for? Fame and fortune? "He said looking at Hikaru. "Revenge?" Looking at Kusatta. "Some noble calling?" Looking a Hiroto whom had already expressed her wish. "Or just a pile of fish?" He said looking a Brandon to finish on lighter note. "Bare in mind I would never judge you. Whatever it is you have done or want to do with your life you are welcome to do it as a part of the crew. I would have only one rule and one only. A crew is like a family and one should never hurt his or her family; if they do, I will punish them myself." Leonard said with a grave voice and dead seriousness in his eyes. "Other than that you guys can do whatever the hell you want." He said this time with a more cheerful voice and a smile on his face, not wanting to ruin the mood.
Having said his piece and almost immediately forgetting about listening to the crew's answer the famished swordsman turned to the chef and shouted as if he did not have a care in the world. "Kusattaaaaaaa! I want food! Your captain demands food! And some drinks! We need to celebrate the true birth of the Shining Pirates!"
Little did the newly formed Shining Pirates know but all around the world new bounty posters were being issued. On the island of Toroa a loud shout was heard coming out of an out of place dojo in a back garden. A middle aged woman with black hair stepped in. "Is something wrong father?" And old man sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor reading a newspaper answered. "As usual, your son is what's wrong." He said turning a piece of paper in his hand to show it to the woman who only reacted with a calm "Oh my." her smile not betraying any emotions she might have been feeling. Meanwhile in the North Blue's Holy Remunum Empire, a large Military officer looked at an identical piece of paper while sitting at his desk, his long sword leaning against the wall. "Eh! the show is really starting now Lion Cub."
However, at that very time Leonard Le Clerc just wanted to party and enjoy the company of his new friends. Any thoughts of the consequences of their actions back on Nuevo Romano were far away from his thoughts.
