Just as when Leo is getting excited to fight Doflamingo, he gets disturbed. Someone suddenly flies between him & Doffy, making them both look at the person who slides on the ground and stops. They are surprised to see that it's none other than Luffy.

"HAHAHA! HOW'S THAT, STRAW HAT?"

Leo looks in the other direction and sees a blonde muscular guy who wears sunglasses. He remembers this guy, Bellamy, the one causing trouble on Jaya and got beaten up easily by Luffy.

"You've gotten stronger, Bellamy. But what are you doing here?"

"Hmm? You have just met him, Luffy?"

"Yeah, he suddenly appeared sometime after I separated from Zoro and attacked me. Have you fought someone strong, Leo?"

"Well, I've fought an elderly and now his grandson is coming."

Luffy finally realizes that Doflamingo is there and he grins excitedly because he has been searching for Doffy.

"I can finally fight you. Oh, wait, are you fighting him, Leo?"

"Not yet, you can take him on if you want. I will handle this small fry. Besides, I sense another strong presence some distance away from us. It's an unknown presence, so I want to check it just to be sure if it's an enemy or not."

"Okay, but don't kill Bellamy, he seems to have changed."

"No worries, I don't kill weaklings."

"Escaping? No chance, kid!"

Doffy shoots a thick string spear from his palm at Leo. But Leo ducks to dodge it and then propels himself toward Bellamy by shooting fire from his feet. Bellamy is shocked by Leo's sudden charge and crosses his haki-coated arms.

Leo grins and slashes his cutlasses horizontally from left to right. He intentionally hits Bellamy's hardened arms to send the guy flying away from there. They can't fight her because it will disturb Luffy's fight, and besides, he feels a strong presence nearby.

'A strong person with a strong hostility. Will be a good opponent to replace that Flamingo.'

Leo keeps striking Bellamy and forces the big guy to keep retreating. Bellamy tries to counterattack, but Leo can evade them easily.

"You are certainly stronger and faster now, but your skills don't improve that much. All your attacks are very predictable. They will work against people weaker or just slightly stronger than you, but it will never work against me."

Leo suddenly moves to Bellamy's left side and then hits Bellamy's left jaw very strongly with the handle of his cutlass. The hit is so powerful that Bellamy's whole body starts spinning as he flies to the right before crashing into a building and destroying it.

That one clean hit is enough to knock Bellamy out and end this fight. Leo doesn't want to drag this useless battle for too long because he wants to fight a real opponent. Bellamy is just too weak to be a challenge for him.

"You can come out now. I know you've been observing for a while."

Nothing happens after Leo says that, making him sigh. Then he suddenly swings his sword, sending a fire slash to a rather tall building nearby. That fire slash destroys the building and suddenly something flashes out before the building collapses.

"There you are, finally showing yourself. I was wondering who it was. Never thought that it would be an old acquaintance. I thought you had died in the War of Gods along with your Celestial Dragons and Marie Geoise. But you are still alive, former CP-9 agent, Rob Lucci."

"I have been promoted to CP-0 a while before War of Gods. Fire Blade Leo, not exactly the one I want to fight, but my task now is defeating the enemies no matter who."
