Chapter 152 - The Power of “Return to Void”! Not Just the Navy Has Arrived!

On another side of the battlefield—

Sentomaru immediately spotted S-Snake fighting alongside Hancock.

"S-Snake! This is Sentomaru! As the captain of the Science Unit, I order you—cease attacking and return to control immediately!"

He shouted loudly, invoking the authority left behind by Vegapunk.

However—

S-Snake merely glanced at him coldly.

Then raised her hand—

And unleashed a dense barrage of pink arrows.

"Perfume Femur—Arrows!"

Sentomaru was startled and hurriedly swung his axe to block, looking rather disheveled.

"How is it not working?!"

Tsuru did not immediately join the core battlefield.

Her gaze swept across the surrounding seas and ruins.

"Kujaku… my granddaughter, where are you…"

She murmured softly, searching for any trace of the Fallen One.

Since Kujaku wasn't on the battlefield—

That meant she was still on the ship.

Kizaru hovered midair, golden light flickering at his fingertips as he casually fired a few beams.

"How scary~"

He pouted, his eyes fixed cautiously on Leno.

He had no intention of getting close.

That attack back on Moden Island—

Had almost forced him into early retirement.

Better to stay far away and let Sakazuki test things first.

Better a dead colleague than a dead Admiral.

Seeing the scale of the Navy's forces—

Leno's expression darkened slightly.

"This just got troublesome…"

He had already been tied down by Kaido and the others—

Now with the Navy arriving in full force—

And clearly targeting him—

Escape became even harder.

At least—

He was self-aware enough to admit that.

The Navy quickly deployed, coordinating with Aokiji—

Encircling Leno and his core crew layer by layer.

A complete encirclement.

Akainu's Meigo rained down relentlessly.

Aokiji's Pheasant Beak restricted from the side.

Kizaru's lasers harassed from the perimeter.

It was practically a zoo attack.

Kaido and Blackbeard's expressions changed when they saw the Navy arrive.

But when they realized—

The Navy's primary target was Leno—

They exchanged glances—

And simultaneously chose to retreat.

"Worororo! The Navy arrived at the perfect time!"

Kaido grinned, shouldering his kanabo as he stepped back to watch.

"Let them weaken that brat first!"

"Zehahaha! Exactly!"

Blackbeard also withdrew with a sinister grin.

"Once they're done, we'll move in!"

They weren't fools.

Why fight now—

When they could reap the benefits later?

Meanwhile—

The still-rampaging Big Mom clashed with incoming Marine Vice Admirals.

Flames, lightning, sword strikes, and Rokushiki techniques collided chaotically.

Seeing this—

Katakuri and the others actually felt relieved.

At least Big Mom wasn't attacking them for now—

And she was tying down part of the Navy.

These Marines—

Couldn't seriously harm her anyway.

Their real concerns had always been Kaido and Leno.

Just as the Leno Pirates struggled against the Navy's siege—

More enemies joined.

Figures in white suits and strange masks cut into the battlefield—

Charging straight at Leno.

CP0.

The World Government's top intelligence agency.

"Leno! Come quietly with us—you'll suffer less!"

The leading agent spoke coldly.

Their attacks were ruthless—

Every Rokushiki technique aimed at Leno's vital points.

These CP0 agents were no weaklings—

Some were even comparable to Admirals!

Facing the combined assault of:

The three AdmiralsElite Vice AdmiralsCP0 elites

And after two full days of fighting Kaido, Blackbeard, and Big Mom—

The women were clearly exhausted.

Wounded.

Their breathing unstable.

This was a war of attrition.

A full-scale siege.

Even Leno—

Finally showed signs of fatigue.

No matter how strong—

Stamina wasn't infinite.

Kaido and Blackbeard, watching from the sidelines—

Immediately noticed.

"Worororo! He's reaching his limit!"

Greed flashed in Kaido's eyes.

"Zehahaha! Move!"

Blackbeard couldn't hold back either.

No one wasn't tempted by Leno's ability.

A power with no apparent drawbacks—

Even allowing multiple Devil Fruits!

In an instant—

Kaido and Blackbeard rejoined the battle.

Their target—

Still Leno.

Navy.

CP0.

Kaido.

Blackbeard.

At this moment—

Nearly every top-tier fighter on the battlefield—

Focused their attacks on one man.

Facing this near-hopeless siege—

Leno showed no panic.

Instead—

A cold, mocking smile formed on his lips.

"I've been waiting… for you all."

He raised his right hand.

The deafening battlefield—

Seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force.

All of Leno's power—

Converged into his palm.

Conqueror's Haki.

The power of the Chop-Chop Fruit—

Everything gathered together.

In an instant—

A small, ordinary white dot appeared in his palm.

Leno calmly pushed it forward.

"Return to Void."

There was no explosion.

No shockwave.

Only—

Absolute annihilation.

A sense of death—

Rose from the depths of everyone's soul.

"Not good!!"

Akainu's pupils shrank as he instinctively retreated in magma form.

"Danger!!"

Aokiji's face changed drastically as he withdrew.

Kaido and Blackbeard's greed turned into shock and terror.

Kaido roared—

Taking to the sky instantly.

"Dark Hole!!"

Blackbeard desperately unleashed darkness, trying to devour the white dot.

Kizaru—

Had already turned into light and fled the moment Leno began charging.

He wasn't stupid.

He had learned from Kaido.

CP0 hadn't seen this before—

But death was very real.

They either fled—

Or tried to block.

It didn't matter.

The white dot expanded silently.

Wherever it passed—

Everything—

Magma, ice, darkness, Haki, flesh—

Was quietly disintegrated.

Reduced to the most fundamental particles—

Returning to nothingness.

A breeze passed—

And even those remnants vanished.

At the center of the battlefield—

A void appeared.

Nothing remained.

Akainu knelt on one knee, blood spilling from his mouth.

Aokiji had half his body erased again—

Barely maintaining form through elementalization, pale as death.

Kaido's dragon body had a hole that wouldn't heal—

He roared in pain.

Blackbeard fared even worse—

Not necessarily in damage—

But the amplified pain from his fruit made him scream louder than anyone.

Kizaru, farther away, barely escaped—

Though he looked shaken.

Vice Admirals like Onigumo—

Were simply gone.

Not even ashes remained.

CP0 suffered catastrophic losses—

Most of them erased entirely.

Those who survived—

Whether enemies or observers like Katakuri—

All stared at Leno in shock and horror.

Speechless.

Their throats tightened—

Unable to even speak.

One move.

Just one move—

Nearly crippled all top-tier fighters—

And wiped out the battlefield.

This… was Leno's power?!

Even Big Mom stopped screaming.

No one had expected—

Such terrifying strength.

"…It's over…"

Tsuru trembled like a frail old woman.

"The Navy… has suffered heavy losses…"

But—

It wasn't just the Navy and CP0 who had arrived…

Red-Haired Shanks… and the Revolutionary Army were here too.
