Leno clicked his tongue, disgust written plainly across his face.
"...Tch."
He hadn't expected to run into idiots of this caliber.
Was the Roswald family some kind of mandatory Sabaody NPC spawn?
Had the Five Elders not properly circulated the memo about him killing a Celestial Dragon?
These morons weren't even avoiding him.
Well then.
If that's the case—
It must be fate that they die here today.
Of course—
Celestial Dragons might be brainless.
But the CP0 agents around them were not.
One masked CP0 member instantly flashed in front of the Roswald family, lowering his voice urgently.
"Saint Roswald, please exercise caution!"
"That man is 'The Fallen' Leno! Extremely dangerous! He has already… already killed a Celestial Dragon before!"
He thought that would scare them.
He overestimated their intelligence.
He underestimated their arrogance.
"Nani?!" Roswald blinked.
Then—
Slap!
He backhanded the CP0 agent viciously.
"Trash! If you knew this scum killed a Celestial Dragon, why hasn't he been executed already?! How dare you let him appear before me?!"
Roswald trembled in rage.
"We are the noble Roswald family! You dog! Seize him at once! I will personally execute him!"
Charlos chimed in, snot wobbling.
"Yes! Capture him! Kill the man! Seize all the women!"
Shalria, however, pointed at Leno.
"No! That man is mine! I want him alive! He's my pet!"
Behind the mask, the CP0 agent's expression turned grim.
But they were the Dragons' dogs.
Disobedience meant death.
"…Understood."
He gestured.
Multiple CP0 agents burst forward.
Leno didn't even glance at them.
He tilted his head lazily toward his crew.
"You girls want this? Or should I?"
They exchanged looks.
Domino, Robin, and Kalifa remained calm—this wasn't their first Celestial Dragon execution.
Perona and little Alice, however, paled slightly.
Attacking a World Noble…
That wasn't a trivial decision.
There would be no turning back.
But the hesitation lasted less than a heartbeat.
As if they had a choice to leave him anyway.
Domino stepped forward first.
"I'll handle it. We already killed one before."
Robin smiled coldly.
"One more won't hurt."
Kalifa rubbed bubbles between her palms.
"My hands were itching."
Little Alice puffed up bravely.
"I—I can help too!"
Perona looked at them… then at Leno's back.
"Hehehe… I've never attacked a Celestial Dragon before."
A faint curve appeared at the corner of Leno's lips.
He didn't move.
He simply watched the three Dragons—
making sure none escaped.
Battle erupted instantly.
"Cien Fleur: Spider Net!"
Robin's arms blossomed everywhere, forming a darkened Haki-laced web.
"Bubble Cloud: Restrain!"
Kalifa's bubbles surged toward a CP0 agent.
Domino adopted Leno's custom-built fighting stance.
Unlike Garp's brute force—
This style had been tailored specifically for her.
Master it well—
Even Doflamingo would feel it.
"Negative Hollows!"
Perona unleashed ghosts while clutching Alice.
The little girl tossed tiny blades from above for distraction.
The CP0 agents were strong.
But against women personally trained by Leno—
armed with Haki and bizarre abilities—
Their formation collapsed quickly.
Worse—
They had to split focus, wary of Leno standing idle behind them.
They fell one after another.
Crushed.
The five women turned cold eyes toward the true culprits.
"Y-You filthy commoners, what are you doing?!" Roswald shrieked, stumbling backward.
"I am a Celestial Dragon! You dare—?!"
Charlos tried to shout commands—
He was answered with violence.
Robin's giant foot stomped Roswald flat.
Grinding.
Kalifa casually severed his most prideful asset with a slicing kick.
Elsewhere—
Charlos received "special care."
Under Domino, Perona, and Alice's attention—
He sobbed, screamed, and bled.
Snot, tears, blood mixing together.
Within moments—
Father and son lay on the ground, barely breathing.
On death's edge.
Shalria was completely broken by the sight.
She collapsed, urine spreading beneath her.
Literally terrified out of her wits.
Civilians had already fled when CP0 fell.
Now only she remained.
Five murderous gazes turned toward her.
She trembled violently.
Not stupid enough to miss the pattern.
They all obeyed that man.
She crawled frantically to Leno's feet.
Tears, mucus, no dignity left.
"Spare me! Please don't kill me! I'll be your slave! I—I'm untouched! I'll do anything! Please!"
Leno looked down at the Celestial Dragon woman groveling at his boots.
He was about to speak—
When a lazy yet slightly strained voice echoed behind her.
"How troublesome~ looks like I'm late~"
Golden light gathered.
Admiral Kizaru materialized behind Shalria.
He glanced at the two near-dead Dragons and the trembling Shalria.
Pouted.
Leno glanced sideways.
"You again? Shouldn't you be slacking somewhere? Why do I keep running into you?"
Kizaru's face turned deeply resentful.
"You think I'm running around for fun, you brat?!"
If not for Leno constantly stirring up catastrophes—
Would he be this busy?!
Leno blinked.
"…Ah."
So it's because of me.
Fair enough.
Hard workers will work.
Kizaru sighed and pointed at the bodies.
"These two… no saving them~"
"This one can't die."
He grew unusually serious.
"My Marine career can't end here~"
As for the other two—
Too late.
Shalria saw the Admiral and regained a flicker of arrogance.
She struggled upright and shrieked—
"Admiral! Seize him! I want him as my pet! I'll make him—"
