"Air Quake!"
Domino didn't bother answering Maffi.
An explanation?
She could listen to the explanation of her fist instead.
Caught off guard, Maffi snapped back to her senses and hurriedly raised her arm to block.
What kind of explanation was this?!
This was straight-up trying to kill her!
But after taking the hit—
A sudden realization flashed through her mind.
Recalling Hancock's earlier words about "this world"—
A bold thought emerged.
She stared at Hancock in disbelief and blurted out:
"You… you're not from this world, are you?!"
Hancock let out a cold, mocking laugh.
"Looks like you're not completely stupid for a Celestial Dragon."
As a member of the God's Knights,
Maffi was naturally among the more capable Celestial Dragons.
Figuring it out wasn't surprising.
After all—
They hadn't even tried to hide it.
At that moment, Leno also walked over, bringing Ginny and Kuma with him.
He glanced at the coat behind Maffi—
It gave him a strangely familiar feeling.
You! Heavenly Yaksha!
He casually asked:
"You from the Donquixote family?"
Maffi glared at him.
Even behind her sunglasses, her displeasure was obvious.
"I belong to the Saintchez family!"
"Ah."
Leno responded flatly.
So not that one.
What a waste of emotion.
Suddenly—
As if sensing something, Leno's expression changed sharply!
His previously calm aura turned razor-sharp.
"Annihilation of All Things!"
He shouted as his right hand instantly wrapped in Chop-Chop power and Conqueror's Haki.
He threw a hurried punch forward!
Almost simultaneously—
A massive slash swept across the battlefield, threatening to cut everything in half!
But the moment it collided with Leno's punch—
It was shattered and dissipated.
Everything outside the area he blocked—
Was cleanly sliced apart.
Through the dust—
Two towering figures slowly emerged.
"I told you, that slash was aimed at the enemy," a young Newgate said casually.
A slender Linlin grabbed his coat, complaining:
"Idiot! You trying to settle things here?! I'll fight you anytime!"
Maffi looked at the two of them and rubbed her forehead in frustration.
"What the hell is wrong with this island?!"
Not only were there monsters everywhere—
Now even people from another world had shown up.
And judging by Hancock alone—
This guy was definitely a top-tier powerhouse from another world too.
At this point—
She didn't even feel surprised anymore.
Just unlucky.
Because…
There was no way she was escaping.
Meanwhile—
Leno blocking that attack caught Linlin and Newgate's attention.
"Which pirate crew is that brat from? Not bad for his age," Linlin said curiously.
She leaned down to get a better look—
Her eyes lit up.
"Ma-ma-ma~ good looks too. His genes must be excellent."
Leno could only sigh.
First meeting—
No need to be that generous.
As expected, powerful people had… very broad horizons.
Still—
Leno sighed inwardly.
"Came too late. The 'pure' Linlin is already gone."
At this point, Linlin was undeniably stunning—
Just with a different kind of charm.
But her mindset had already begun shifting toward seeing herself as a breeding machine.
That killed all of Leno's interest instantly.
Linlin seemed to sense something and glanced toward Leno.
Soon—
More figures arrived.
Or rather—
Passed by.
"Hey, hey! Look at that woman!" Shiki suddenly pointed at Hancock.
"She's on par with Shakky!"
Newgate also looked over.
"She from the Kuja Pirates? Gloriosa?"
The young Gloriosa stepped forward, examined Hancock carefully, then shook her head.
"Never seen her. But judging by her outfit—she's definitely from Amazon Lily."
Before they could continue—
Kaido ran over, panting, clearly dissatisfied.
"Linlin! This isn't what you told me!"
Silver Axe carried his axe impatiently.
"If she's not Shakky, I'm going ahead. I'll be the first to rescue her—you all can keep playing around here."
"Dream on!" Shiki immediately shot back.
As they argued—
A loud shout rang out.
"Fist of the Falling Star!"
"Where do you sea kings think you're going?!"
A cannonball crashed down.
A young Garp appeared, holding another shell—
His gaze locked onto Newgate and the others.
Even without Roger—
The Rocks Pirates still needed to be dealt with.
With Garp's arrival—
Everyone's attention shifted away from Leno.
That earlier clash wasn't enough to keep their focus.
In their eyes—
Leno was strong, but not yet at their level.
One by one—
They all rushed toward where Shakky was being held.
No one wanted to waste time fighting Garp.
Only Kaido remained dissatisfied.
"Why aren't we fighting?!"
"Save your strength, idiot! Don't waste time!" Linlin shouted back.
Then—
"Zeus! Prometheus!"
"Got it, Mama!"
"Flame Storm!!"
Kaido: ???
Didn't you just say conserve strength?!
Garp tanked the attack head-on—
Completely unharmed.
Even more ridiculous than Linlin's "iron balloon."
Watching the departing monsters—
Leno sighed.
"These old monsters were seriously strong in their youth."
(Definitely not including Kaido and Big Mom.)
"After God Valley… I'll spar with them."
"For now—save Shakky first."
"Then go play with Rocks."
His expression remained calm.
Fear?
Not even a little.
If he couldn't win—
He could always retreat.
Besides—
There were several Devil Fruits at God Valley he had no intention of missing.
Better to fish in troubled waters later.
Acting now would only make him a target.
Ever since arriving at God Valley—
Leno had been slaughtering Celestial Dragons.
Combined with his already unrestrained attitude toward the strong—
The Statue of Pride inside him had begun loosening as well.
Another cannonball landed—
Scattering the crowd again.
Leno didn't waste time.
He knew Hancock wanted to keep Maffi as a slave.
So—
He slapped Maffi hard across the face.
She was instantly stunned.
And… obedient.
Then—
Leno crushed the petrified Den Den Mushi nearby with his foot.
"Let's go."
"Stay close and protect yourselves," he said to Ginny and Kuma.
"Where are we going?" Ginny asked, eyes sparkling with admiration.
Leno's earlier display had been incredible.
Kuma also revealed a strong desire to grow stronger.
Hancock looked at Ginny.
"Do you know where Shakky is being held?"
As expected of an information expert—
Even in this chaos, Ginny had already figured it out.
She immediately raised her hand.
"I know! I know! I'll take you there!"
Meanwhile
The Roger Pirates were charging toward Shakky's location.
"I'll be the first to save Shakky!"
"No, it'll be me!"
"Don't get in my way—I'll win her heart!"
They argued nonstop—
Except for Rayleigh.
Who quietly slipped away to search on his own.
Several Rocks Pirates officers did the same.
"Shakky! We're coming to save you!"
"Get lost—it's me!"
"I'll be the first to rescue her!"
No matter which crew—
The lines were almost identical.
Shakky's charm truly embodied the title:
The most beautiful woman in the world.
Meanwhile—
The scumbag Somaz was also heading toward Shakky.
Unlike the pirates—
As a Celestial Dragon, he knew exactly where she was being held.
And no one would stop him.
His speed—
Was far faster than anyone else.
