I can't believe I am holding you in my hands right now.
I thought I lost you forever. With tears in his eyes Leon was picked up in her arms.
Something in Leon clicked something that fills the void in his heart.
In his previous life Leon had never received a love of a mother.
Now Leon is started come to terms with his previous life and started to accept this is his world and Rouge is his mother.
Leon couldn't stop himself cried in her arms.
Rouge took Leon in her arms went to her house when they reached the house Leon was alredy asleep. Rouge seeing this could help but smile she went in to the house and laid Leon on the bed and brushed his hair with in her fingers lonvingly. She then left to bedroom to cook.
Then she remembered what happened at 1489 when Leon was born.
When her parents came to know that she bore a child of a pirate.
Her father took the child left the home for months Rouge in a attempt to find her son travelled through the whole south blue searching in any orphanages or any other islands in an attempt find her son but to no avail.
But because of some miracle she had found her son. She still couldn't believe it after taking him inher arms she finally believed it.
After few hours Leon woke up.
Noticed the surrounding was was different.
Leon suddenly got up looked around for his sword but he quickly realized that where he was and he soon relaxed.
Leon laid on the bed and relaxed.
Soon the door of the room opened. A blonde haired woman walked in the room she smiled warmly at Leon. I think you must be hungry Leon at the same time his stomach protested for leaving it unattended.
So he started to eat food at the same time he ate it slowly by savoring the taste of the food.
When Rouge noticed this she felt happy because her not only retained her eye color but also picked up some of her personalities from her.
She couldn't help but smile at her new found son. Who looked cute she softly rubbed the Leon's hair.
Leon now has shoulder length black hair with mesmerizing red eyes .
Seeing his mother's action Leon asks what but she just shooks her head. After finishing his meal Leon asked the important question in his head.
Mother how did I end up in a orphanage.
Rouge washing the plates and when she hears the question she was stunned she was not expecting this question of all things.
She came near to Leon and sat down.
She then starts tell her story.
At that time when Rouge had Leon she was young and top it all of she had the child of pirate and her parents decided to abandon Leon. When she gave birth to Leon. Her parents took Leon and left him some where.
After hearing this Leon signed a sigh of relief thinking he was abandoned by his mother.
Leon asked the next question about who is his father this is the question Rouge was expecting she spoke in even tone. Leon your father's name is Gol D Roger. He is a pirate and a strong one at that. He always gives trouble to world government and marines so you should not tell any one about your father. Rouge told Leon about the information about his father.
I nodded, although initially I had some doubts but now it's confirmed that I am the son of pirate king.
Although this Leon's body learns faster but he couldn't match the raw strength of the trained adult men who trained their body for fighting.
I should train my body to master rokushiki techniques and haki.
Just like that three years has passed. The year 1498.
Now Gol D Leon is now eight years old
During three years he gained fighting experience by fighting many no named pirates who are greedy and kills innocents for granted. Marines of this time is
Even though I received many wounds from battles my body heals them with out a trace of any scars or blemish on my skin if I have enough energy in my body I can heal my own wounds.
Seriously common sense of this world still amazes me some times.
I mastered semei kekan because all the time i have been using a form of semei kekan by digesting my food in rapid manner to gain energy is actually a form of semei kekan.
It is the first technique I first learned of rokushiki but at the same time it also led me mastering tekkai, finger pistol, kami e, since these techniques are comes under body manipulation. So it naturally worked for me as a second nature thing to do.
The remaining techique took another one year to master.
Even after three years of training he still couldn't develop his soru and geppo to the level he wanted
Maybe it's the limit for this age of eight heck may be it could be even a miracle for child to learn haki and rokushiki techniques.
With the heavy heart he took his sword and went for bounty hunting.
Although he feels dejected his growth has reached a bottle neck he started to think about different ways to get stronger.
Today's bounty hunting to say about it. It's quite boring there is no challenge in fighting a herd of cattle that was like a sitting duck waiting to be slaughtered.
After cashing in the bounty of the pirates who were about to dock at a village for raids.
Leon returned home and kept the money in the box that was on the corner.
His mother rouge told him that she can take care of the money problem. But Leon vehemently denied it stating that his stomach is like a abyss and will make her ask for loaning money from others.
After few months of staying with my mother I noticed a neighbor guy who is constantly harassing rouge.
Leon confronted the man who was constantly harassing rouge although that harasser shooed the child away with some threatening words in middle of the market, although none paid attention to the ongoing conversation at that time what I did would certainly put me on top of the list not to be messed with.
When the harasser stretched his hands to reach me. Leon flipped the harasser over his head and got on top of him started to punch the harasser left and right, seeing the commotion Rouge rushed over after hearing that Leon was the one who is fighting.
When Rouge reached there what she saw really shocked her, although she knew that her son was strong and hunting pirates was his job but to see that happening in front of her was the one that really shocked and it's not even a fight it's a one sided beating.
Rouge snapped out of her inner monologue quickly grabbed Leon by his ear.
In the middle of the crowd there was a sound ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow ow mom it hurts.
What are you doing young man?
Mom I am just teaching him a lesson see
for that in response that harasser nodded his head. he bowed his head in front of rouge and apologized for harassing her after that he ran away from that place.
After that fiasco both of went to home continued to live their daily life, as mother and son.
