Chapter 422: An Actor

Hey guys, I'm trying a new format for the dialogues. Hope you like it

___________________________________

Katorea, the town where the rebels set their base after Yuba got destroyed. Currently, the rebels are gathering outside the town. A man is seen lying there like a dead man, but he is still breathing. It's Leo who acts like an unconscious man.

"Is he alive?"

"Yeah, he's still breathing. Maybe he is dehydrated when walking in the desert."

"Then he must be a foreigner, a local won't make such a stupid mistake."

The gathered rebels are talking about Leo who can hear them clearly. But he doesn't do anything because he is acting right now. Leo just keeps lying on the ground while holding any urge he has including the urge to fart.

Sometime later, some people arrive and the rebels make way for them. Leo thinks they must be the leaders of these rebels and the people he must convince. He can only hear their voices though and they sound tough.

"Anyone knows who he is?"

One of the leaders asks, but no one answers him because they don't know Leo.

"Hmm, take him to the medic, but keep watching him. Send him away after he gets better."

"Are you sure, Koza? What if he is a spy sent by the King?"

Someone asks the leader because he is quite suspicious of Leo. But the leader, Koza is firm on his decision.

"And what if he is just a traveler? Do you want to let a man die because of your suspicion? If we do that, then we are not different from the Kingdom that abandons their people."

Koza's words silence the others, but Leo thinks otherwise. He realizes that these people are kind, but they are too naive. No wonder Crocodile could make propaganda that convinced them so easily.

'Hopefully, convincing them will be that easy too.'

Leo thinks like that while being carried to a tent the rebels used as an infirmary. A doctor checks him and finds that Leo isn't dehydrated, but has a strong fever. Well, it's not really a fever, Leo just increases his body temperature using his ability.

"Having a fever in a hot desert must feel like a nightmare. Alright, take care of him. You guys keep an eye on this guy. We need to be careful."

Koza leaves after saying that, making Leo sighs internally. They don't even check him thoroughly to make sure he isn't a spy, which is a stupid move in their situation. This isn't good for Leo because he doesn't get their attention long enough.

These guys don't use badges as identities, they use codes because they are spies. Robin knew that, so she set this up to help the rebels find the spies. She hid it quite well in their belongings to convince the rebels that the badges were tried to be hidden.

The spies know it's a trap, but they can't say anything that can prove it. If they want more thorough check-ups, they will just blow their covers more. So they try to escape immediately, which is also a stupid move because it just makes the rebels more convinced.

The spies get captured and imprisoned by the rebels. There are more spies though, and they try to run away after knowing some of them to get captured. But Robin won't let them go. She takes them down while they escape to make sure Crocodile won't know this.

Leo's & Robin's plan has succeeded, so they are very satisfied. But they still need to stay here with the rebels to make sure the group will attack Crocodile at the same time as the Straw Hat Pirates. Robin keeps hiding among the rebels while Leo keeps acting sick for now.

The next day, Leo finally can open his eyes and stop acting sick. He is 'cured' by the doctor's medicine that he didn't actually eat. Leo's hands and feet are tied to the bed by Koza's group to make sure he won't escape.

They know from the letter that Leo was 'forced' to send the letter. But they could never be too careful now. They've learned their lesson. Besides, they think Leo can suddenly run after knowing that he is captured and they can't let that happen because they need information from Leo.

Leo acts as if he is panicking after seeing the rebels and the binds. He tries to escape, but he fails because the rebels catch & hold him. Koza comes and starts to get information from Leo who acts as if he doesn't want to answer while acting afraid.

It makes Koza sighs, then he shows the fake letter to Leo. Robin watches from the side with a very impressed expression because Leo is crying when he reads the fake letter. He cries because it is stated in the fake letter that Crocodile has killed his family.

'Aside from music, he also has the talent to be an actor.'

Koza's group releases him and lets him cry because they know how it feels to lose the ones they love. Leo cries for a long time until he feels that it's enough. Then he acts as if he lost all his energy, so the rebels are giving him support to stay strong.

'What a talent. I need to be careful with that acting skill.'

Leo shows a very sad expression on his face, but inside, he laughs like a devil who succeeds in his scheme. Things went smoother than he thought, so now their winning chance has increased a lot. With the Rebel Army's help, they can surely win this war easier.
