"Wow, you were incredible out there!" the empress exclaims, her voice full of genuine awe. "I can't thank you enough for saving me from that vile slaver. You're a true hero. But I'm dying to know, how did you become such a skilled fighter?"

Leon, a humble smile on his face, takes a moment to collect his thoughts before responding. 'Damn...straight to the point eh?...' He thinks to himself

"Well, it's been quite a journey," Leon begins, his voice filled with a hint of reluctance. "From a young age, I was drawn to the art of being the strongest. I trained in various fighting styles, learning different techniques and such. But it wasn't just about acquiring skills; it was about the dedication and perseverance to continuously improve. So that I can protect those around me"

More Kuja Warriors lean in closer, captivated by the leon's words. Their eyes sparkle with curiosity as one of them asks, "But your fighting style..... it's so unique. It reminds me of the techniques used by the world government..... How did you come to master them?"
Leon sweat dropped at that 'they're not letting it go at all....' He thinks with eye twitch

Leon's gaze turns distant for a moment, as if lost in memories of his past. Then, with a flicker of avoiding the past talks, he begins to tell.

"During my travels, I stumbled upon a hidden group of skilled fighters who were trained by ex-members of the world government," the hero reveals, their voice tinged with a bit of lie, simply not wanting to reveal his origin to anyone. "They took me under their wing, teaching me their secret techniques and sharing their wisdom. It was an honor to learn from them and incorporate their knowledge into my own style."

The empress's eyes narrowed but she stayed silent.

But then Sandersonia speaks
"To gain the trust of those fighters and learn their techniques is truly remarkable," she says, her voice filled with admiration. "You are not only a skilled warrior, but also a person of great character. It's no wonder you were able to achieve such feats."

Leon bows his head, acknowledging their words with gratitude. "Thank you, everyone. But I must say, it wasn't just me. Our victory was a result of the incredible teamwork and unity among the Amazonian warriors." He says with determination, but reality had his own plans.

As leon's mind snaps back to reality, he finds himself in chains once again, standing in front of the empress. Confusion washes over the his face, his brows furrowing as he struggles to make sense of the situation. Because in reality, celebration didn't happen, it was all Leon's imagination.
