Chapter 9

Days passed and Gaku gained the recognition of almost anyone in this island, he is known for lazing around random spots.

People know him more of like a lazy guy, but there's an unspoken rule that most people know.

If you pick a fight with him, you're dead.

Right now he was on a ferries wheel lazing around like he usually does.

"What's that?!

That looks fun!"

Gaku heard a fairly familiar way of speaking so he looked down and saw the people he was waiting for.

The straw hat pirates themselves, they were having fun at an amusement park.

Gaku laid back down and said. "I'm kind of nervous.

Today's the big day.

I kind of feel like when you get a haircut and you have school the next day."

He put one leg over the other and said. "I'll wait one more hour and then go to the auction."

>>>>

Gaku was sitting in the middle row of the slave auction.

He had one leg over the other and he was playing a video game.

People started to recognize him. "That's Gaku The Slayer!

I heard that he kills anybody who annoys him!"

Another person said. "Don't worry too much guys, as long as you don't interact with him you'll be good.

He's known for walking around the island going sightseeing."

Near the entrance of the same there was a burly guy with red hair and a lot of scary looking people around him.

He looked at Gaku and said. "So that's Slayer Gaku...

He's the newest out of the Worst Generation and the only one who doesn't have a crew.

He's a mystery."

Someone from Kid's crew said. "He's known for ending a war between pirates on an island all by himself.

Apparently the war was going on for months and he ended it in twenty minutes.

And there are rumors about him being extremely fast, killing his enemies before they even realized what happened."

Kid looked at the carefree Gaku again and said. "He's an interesting one."

>>>>

Everything did like it did in the story.

The auction started, and a celestial dragon bid on the mermaid that was under Luffy's protection.

Luffy broke in, interrupted the auction and here came the good part.

*BANG*

Hachi, the octopus that's friends with Luffy got shot by a Celestial Dragon.

Luffy's face went serious.

The Celestial Dragon started celebrating, saying that he got a free fish man slave.

But no one noticed one thing.

Gaku had a small smile on his face.

*SWOOSH*

In an instant, Gaku arrived in front of the Celestial Dragon with his Mace going straight to his head.

He had a stoic expression while he did that too.

*BAM*

The Celestial Dragon's head exploded like a balloon and a lot of blood spurted out of his neck.

It was like the world stopped after that, no one said a thing, total silence.

It happened out of nowhere, Gaku wasn't even involved in the whole drama but he killed a Celestial Dragon.

Everyone had surprised expressions on their faces, even the most ruthless pirates couldn't believe their eyes.

Gaku looked at Luffy and said. "You owe me one."

*SWOOSH*

He disappeared from his spot and reappeared between the two Celestial Dragons who were alive.

The guards tried to protect them, but it was useless.

*BAM* *BOOM*

He swung his long mace around in order to kill everyone who was with the Celestial Dragons including them, of course.

Kid looked at Gaku with a nervous smile and said. "He's batshit crazy!"

Gaku sighed and said. "Mission complete."

He looked at the people present in the auction and said with his weapon over his shoulder. "Who doesn't want to die should run right now.

I just killed three celestial dragons.

Do you think I will stop just at them?"

!!

Everyone who wasn't involved in this ran away without looking back.

Gaku looked at the roof and said with a sigh. "Now I have to run somewhere and make a comrade.

But that's where the second part of my plan comes in."

*BZZT*

Gaku felt a weird sensation from behind, and when he said weird he meant it.

He felt suppressed by an invisible force.

He looked at the stage and saw an old man come out of the wall together with a Giant.

The old man took a sip of his drink and said. "And here I thought I was crazy when I was your age...

Do you know what you just did, boy?"

Gaku looked at the old man and said. "Yeah, I just did my mission."

The old man furrowed his brows and said. "Mission?

Who do you work for?"

Gaku pointed his finger upwards and said. "Someone you can't even hope of touching, old man."

He was right, in a sense.

The system was a mystery, but there was no doubt that someone gave this to him with a reason.

And you can't really touch the system screen anyway.

The old man's eyes widened and he thought. 'Looks like he knows who I am.

But someone I can't even hope of touching?

Is he talking about IM?

But why would the ruler of the world order for the Celestial Dragons to be killed, it doesn't make sense.'

*BZZT*

An invisible aura covered the whole auction and people started dropping like flies.

The old man, Rayleigh, used conqueror's haki in order to knock those with a weak will out.

Gaku opened his mouth and said. "Hmm...

I'm not going to touch anyone else, old man.

So let's just stop wasting time and let me go.

I really don't want to fight an Admiral right now."

Rayleigh smiled and said. "I wasn't thinking of stopping you here, boy.

I don't like the Celestials either."

"Thanks."

Gaku walked past Luffy and his crew and said. "You should get out of here.

Oh, by the way.

There's going to be a big event soon."

Luffy turned around and said. "What are you talking about?"

Gaku continued walking and said. "Fire Fist Ace, 2nd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He's been captured and will be executed publicly soon.

It'll be war."

Luffy's eyes widened and he yelled. "Oi!

WAIT!"

*SWOOSH*

Gaku put his weapon back in his inventory, and disappeared from his spot.

Luffy clenched his fist hard enough to the point his fingernails were digging deep into his palms and he said quietly. "Ace..."
