And they partied , hard. There was singing , drinking , food and everything. It just showed how happy the islnand was , now out of fishmen reign. Leo and the crew took full advantage of that.

Zoro was mostly in the doctors care. But he had sake whenever Leo saw him. Sanji was flirting with every women he saw , while their captain was eating and listening to Usopp's tales.

Leo himself was in a bed, apparently his body was still taking care of itself. He knew this the moment he used the eyes too much. He also knew that he would probably not be at his top condition for a while. That wasn't good , with the first mate as injured as he is the crew needed someone strong.

Leo trusted the cook , but one or two man wasn't enough for the entire crew to be safe. So he came to a conclusion , even his weakest should be as strong as at least Arlong. He shouldn't have to rely on his Devil Fruit all the time.

With a sigh , he took a bite out of his meat. It was a good thing Luffy wasn't around to steal the food. "Where is my sake?" he muttered to no one in particular. "Didn't you say you were sixteen years old? You. Are too young for sake." A voice said , across the room. "Nami please give it to me." Leo said with a sigh , even though he was smiling. Nami sat on his bed , handing the bottle of sake to him. Leo gratefully took it , taking a swig immediately. Frowning at the taste, he turned to see Nami smiling at him. "What is I it? Do I have something on my face?" Leo asked , checking his face quickly.

"No , that is not it." She said , smiling. "I finally feel free." She explained , throwing her hands up in the air. Leo smiled , this side of her was the best. She really was free. " I'll always be there for you. I'll get stronger , I promise." Nami grinned. " It will be good to have people to trust." She muttered and turned to Leo. Only to find him asleep , she sighed and got up from the bed. "Good night." She whispered to Leo and left.

It was day two of celebrations , and Leo was allowed to get up from his bed now. He immediately noticed the difference. " I feel weaker now." And it was true , even his walking speed was slow. Sure it wasn't a big difference to be noticed , but he sure did.

The first thing he did was finding Zoro , if there was someone that could help him get stronger it would be him. He found him in an alleyway with bottles of sake littered everywhere. " Zoro I need a favor." Zoro turned serious at once , this meant something to Leo. "What is it?" he asked , interested in this favor of his. " I need you to help me get stronger. After all the times I used my powers , I lost quite a bit. I need to get stronger so it doesn't happen again. I want to be strong to not use my powers and protect the crew." Zoro got up from his spot near the wall and put his hand on Leo's shoulder. "We start the moment we are off the island."

Zoro had that need for power as well. After his defeat at the hands of Mihawk , he realised the difference in power. He was leagues behind from achieving his dream. He saw the same determination in Leo's –slightly different eyes. Although they had different goals , their nakama were important , and they realised that by now.

Leo nodded , then smiled. " Give me a bottle , Nami stole mine." Zoro grinned at him , tossing one of the bottles to him. Leo caught it , and started drinking.

Sanji found the two a couple hours later , in the middle of s drinking contest. Apparently Leo had a high tolerance to alcohol too. "What are you guys doing here?" he asked , taking a drag from his cigarette. The contestants stopped to look at him , a little pink dusting their cheeks. They were getting wasted.

"Oh , its Sanji. We were just having a contest , Leo here said he could handle his drink better than me *HIC*" Zoro started , " so we decided to *HIC* zee if it wussz true." Leo finished. Although it seemed that Leo was fighting a losing battle.

"Leo , Nami was looking for you." Sanji said , gaining his attention. "I am here just for her , and my work is done. Now my friends , lovely maidens await me!" he shouted to the heavens , running off to his 'lovely maidens' while Leo got up. Then promptly fell down to the ground , Zoro laughed. "Hahahaha! I wi-" before Zoro could finish , he fell backwards , completely unconscious.

Zoro: 1 Leo:0

The last night of their stay , Leo fooled around with his captain. "This food is great!" Luffy exclaimed. They were sitting in the middle of a street , it was covered in stands and people still celebrating. Leo was next to his captain , they were dancing with whoever was near.

After a while , Leo sat down on the ground while Luffy kept partying. Leo was too tired and a little bit drunk. A few minutes later , Leo was in the middle of a girl group who were a lot more drunk then he was. Man , Sanji would want to be in my place , Leo thought. They were all sitting cross legged on the ground , in a circle around Leo.

There were two girls on either sides of him with their hands around his shoulders. One of them had dark brown hair , blue eyes and pale skin like Leo himself. The other one had blonde hair , green eyes and normal skin tone. They kept on drinking for several hours. In the end , they were wasted but alive.

What the crew learned that day was to never ever get Leo drunk. He got really crazy when drunk. When Nami and Zoro found him , he was in the middle of a bigger group of girls.

"Leo , what is going on here!" Nami shouted , clearly shocked. Zoro had his mouth open , trying to understand how Leo did it. In the middle of the group were two girls , giggling like idiots , with Sanji talking to one of them

"Leo , h-" before he could continue , Leo shushed him. Grinning like a mad man. " Oh , hey Nami!" he responded , back to his normal self. Nami pushed him to the side to see the two girls , laughing at Sanji.

Leo was next to Zoro , and leaned towards him. "Women are easy to manipulate." He whispered to his ear , basically purring. Then he gave a pat on his back , walking towards the girls. Rubbing his hands together , he started to speak before Nami could probably kick his ass.

"Well , girls. I guess it is closing time. I hope to see you again" he started . "Now if you'll excuse me , gotta run!" he finished , and took off running away from Nami. She was shouting while chasing him , which was really hard to do.

"They were from my hometown you idiot! How could you?" she shouted , jumping over some watermelons he threw at her way.

"Hey! They liked each other , I just helped them find their true feelings!" he shouted back.

The next day , they were at the docks. It was the end of their stay. Leo was sitting on a lounge chair , trying to get over the hangover that he had. "What the hell happened yesterday?" he asked himself , which Zoro heard. " You somehow got two girls to like Sanji. How did you do that , anyway?" He asked after explaining the night to him. "Nami is going to kill me. But what I do remember from the night before was that those two didn't even… they didn't even…" he couldn't finish , holding his head down beneath his hands. Zoro raised an eyebrow. " What is it?" he asked and Leo looked up at him , on the verge of laughter. "They didn't even swing that way!" he shouted , and started rolling on the floor while laughing uncontrollably. Zoro smirked.

" Where is Nami?" Luffy asked , sitting on the figurehead. Leo looked troubled. Zoro grinned at this , they were side by side , doing push ups. "Maybe it is because of you and your girl troubles." He whispered so the cook couldn't hear him. Leo had a look of complete horror on his face.

"You look more scared than Usopp!" Zoro shouted , laughing uncontrollably on the floor. The rest of the crew looked confused , and Usopp was offended. Just as he was about to voice his opinion , a shout came from the coast.

" Raise the anchor , start sailing!" Nami shouted , and Leo practically jumped on top of the mast. " I'm gonna dieeeee!" he shouted , clinging to the mast for dear life. Zoro got up to fix the anchor , still grinning.

Leo fixed the sails faster than anyone could blink , and hid behind Zoro. "This is what happens when I get drunk. It gets me killed because of it." He whispered to Zoro. Nami had jumped to the deck , revealing the wallets she stole while running to the ship.

After their goodbyes , she turned towards Zoro. " Now , where is that sly demon?" she asked , and you could see the demonic aura ooze off her. Zoro just shoved Leo out immediately. "You traitor!" he accused with a pointed finger. Zoro just shrugged as Nami dragged Leo to her room.

The crew could hear the whimpers of their lookout , along with several 'I'm sorry's that were denied. After several hours , Leo came out of the torture room. With several bumps on his head. 'This is good information.' Nami noted , 'I could get him drunk when he is needed to do things like this.' And wrote on her notepad. 'Leo gets manipulative when drunk'

On the deck , Leo had done something opposite to that. "I won't get drunk again ,that was torture." Leo said , lifting some weights while doing so. Zoro grunted next to him , tired from lifting for longer than he did.

He did training for a few more hours , then took a break . After getting some snacks from Sanji , he came back to the deck . Zoro was napping , Luffy was nowhere in sight and Usopp was working on some invention of his. Having nothing to do , he walked up to Zoro.

"You wanna spar? I need experience against swords." Zoro got up and walked towards the middle of the deck , motioning Leo to come at him.

Leo smirked."Here we go!" he shouted , running towards Zoro.
