"Smoker, you—"

At first, Hina thought the smoke spilling over to her side was from Smoker. But when she turned her head, she saw him clumsily dealing with one black "cage" after another emerging from his body…

Flustered, Smoker looked at her and noticed that half of Hina's body had transformed into thick smoke, with wisps escaping from her nose and mouth due to her poor control…

The two of them stared at each other in shock.

'My Smoke-Smoke Fruit!' Smoker's jaw dropped, and the three half-burned cigars in his mouth fell to the ground.

'No wonder I don't feel the smoke choking me anymore…' Hina realized belatedly. Soon, both of them turned their heads simultaneously, glaring at the culprit.

"You're the one behind this, aren't you?!" Smoker gritted his teeth.

As soon as he stood up, he instinctively tried to use Elementalization, but the Cage-Cage Fruit inside him misfired, causing black bars to sprout from his limbs and lower body, trapping him in place.

"How embarrassing, Smoker!" Hina complained, smoke billowing from her mouth. Using the Cage-Cage Fruit like this was truly a disgrace to her.

Hina coldly glared at Giorno, struggling to contain the shock in her voice. "So, it's not just that you can steal Devil Fruit abilities for yourself… You can steal anyone's Devil Fruit ability and reassign it to anyone?!"

Smoker's heart raced. If this information reached Headquarters, Giorno's status would shift from a threat to something far more complicated…

"This ability isn't bad, right?" Liam smiled at the two of them. "As long as you're satisfied."

'Who's satisfied?!'

Both Smoker and Hina wanted to shout, but Giorno simply waved his hand lightly, and an invisible force pressed down on them, sending them flying backward.

"What is this?" Smoker twisted in mid-air, but he could no longer Elementalize into smoke.

"What did he do?!" Hina was also forced to fly backward. Unfamiliar with the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, she couldn't skillfully use Elementalization either.

Feeling the invisible force pressing on them and sending them flying… Smoker and Hina simultaneously realized the reason.

It was the metal objects on their bodies!

Belts, buttons, zippers… guns, swords, and other weapons… Most people had plenty of metal items on them.

As Giorno, standing in place, grew smaller in their vision, Smoker and Hina couldn't suppress their astonishment. Had that guy somehow obtained a magnetic Devil Fruit? When?

"Is this the Devil Fruit you wanted?"

Hancock, resting one hand on her slender waist, leaned closer to curiously observe Giorno. She had never seen him casually swat away two Marines like that before.

"That's right, the Magnet-Magnet Fruit."

Liam removed the two Stand mech arms fitted onto his hands and sent them flying back to Robin to return to their original positions.

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled.

In the short time since obtaining the Magnet-Magnet Fruit chip, Liam had already gained a significant grasp of its basic properties… When he opened his eyes again, Liam was now a Magnet-Magnet Fruit user no less than the Supernova Eustass Kid from the original timeline!

He extended his hand.

Buzz!…

Inside the arena, the pirates in the midst of the chaotic battle suddenly noticed their swords trembling lightly.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!…

More and more people realized that their swords, guns, and even their armor were vibrating and clanging, as if about to fly away.

"What's going on?"

"What's happening?!"

While others exclaimed in shock, the Kuja women stopped. They also carried swords and some had metal-tipped arrows, but they remained unaffected.

So, there was only one answer… The women smiled as they looked at Giorno standing beside Hancock. It must be him doing something.

Robin also exhaled, looking toward Liam with a smile. "It seems you've succeeded. What was the original Magnet-Magnet Fruit ability user, the Iron Devil, like?"

The B.I.B. equipped on her body, its narrow eyes glowing faintly white, emitted an electronic voice reminiscent of J.A.R.V.I.S. and Friday: "He was an unexpected person…"

Over there, Liam stepped into the air, moving step by step, and flew up, reaching the center of the Grand Tournament arena in the blink of an eye.

Everyone in the chaotic arena looked up at the figure suddenly looming above them.

Their personal weapons— swords, guns, even armor— were disassembled and flew away under the pull of an invisible force, forming a river of steel that gathered toward the figure in mid-air.

'Thud!' A pirate who had been slacking off the entire time focused on finding a chance to escape, fell to the ground.

A bounty hunter nearby could only watch the astonishing spectacle in the sky, muttering, "The Marines are really despicable… forcing us to deal with such an unconventional monster…"

A minotaur Zoan pirate, bloodied and in disarray from being beaten by a Kuja warrior, glanced at the stone statue behind Hancock and sneered, "Their own Vice Admiral died so quickly. I don't know where they get the nerve to send so few people to deal with this group…"

They naturally didn't know how strong Hancock's Medusa Fruit ability was— the power to petrify an opponent with just a single glance!

If one didn't know about this ability and let their guard down, even the Marine Admirals or the Yonko could fall victim to it if they weren't careful…

Vice Admiral Momonga's strength was no less than Hancock's, but he knew nothing about the Medusa Eyes and accidentally met Hancock's gaze, leading to his crushing defeat that made him look like a rookie. This earned him mockery from the pirates and hunters present.

'This is… the power to control magnetism…'

Liam effortlessly used Geppo to hover in mid-air, looking at the massive metal sphere that had formed like a planetary explosion.

With a wave of his hand, the huge metal sphere disassembled under the control of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, turning back into its original components— swords, guns, armor…

The metal twisted by the immense force was also straightened out by the same force. Bent swords were straightened, gun barrels bent back into shape, and armor was invisibly smoothed back to its original form… One by one, the items hovered in the air at the same level as Liam, surrounding him like a forest.

'Is this what it means to be a showman?'

Liam laughed, flipped his hand downward, and all the metal under his magnetic control turned their barrels to aim at the people below.

Creak, creak… The tips of the swords, needless to say, even the gun barrels and the edges of the armor were invisibly twisted into sharp points, gleaming with cold light.
