Marines tried to take Shakky away but she kicked and defeated them all even in chains. But Sommers appeared and slapped/hit Shakky with his club. Sommers prepared to kill Shakky since she will belong to Garling anyway.

But in the FUCKING AMAZING last double page of the chapter Rayleigh appeared to save Shakky and defeated Sommers with a new attack called “Billhook of the Beyond” (“Higanbana” (E-Ulta) in japanese, same pronunciation as red spider lily flower). Rayleigh’s attack pose is very similar to Zoro’s pose when he uses “Onigiri” attack.

Rayleigh: “Shakky… Sorry I’m late. But I have come to get you!!!”

Rayleigh offered his hand to Shakky (now Rayleigh’s pose is very similar to Luffy’s pose when he offered his hand to Momonosuke in Zou).

Shakky burst into tears and they both hug each other while crying. Roger and Gaban also cried but with a mix of joy and jealousy (we can see a broken heart in their text balloons looool)

Shakky: “Ray-san!!! You are so slow!!”

Rayleigh: “I am sorry for you to have to experience such things…”

Shakky: “I was so scared!!”

Rayleigh: “I will neve…”

Roger/Gaban: “Do it later you bastard!!!”

Chapter ends with an order from Roger to all his nakamas…

Roger: “Boys!! We have Shakky back!!! Let’s take the treasures and get out of this place~~~!!!”

Roger Pirates: “Yeeeaaaah~~~~!!!”

End of chapter. NO break next week.
