Sabaody Archipelago part 2

The auction hall was in a messy state a Celestial Dragon could be seeing laying on the ground unconscious, Rayleigh used Haoshoku Haki and knocked out every single guard.

Only the heart pirates and the kid pirates were unfazed because Rayleigh didn't target them.

Suddenly Mark came out from the backstage and into the hall, he Immediately find this scene pretty familiar, the only person who shouldn't be here was him

The people inside the hall was currently on focusing on Rayleigh when someone from the kids pirate pointed a finger on Mark while screaming

"The Captain Of Z Pirates!!"

Everyone turned their heads towards Mark.

Trafalgar Law looked serious, he almost jumped out from his seat! He obviously knew what had transpired between Mark and the Yonkos.

Eustass Captain Kid had sweat on his forehead. He gritted his teeth in expectation.

Luffy looked undisturbed, he looked towards Mark ones before helping his friends with whatever they were doing.

Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and Frank didn't look like they knew Mark and haven't even heard about him.

"Who is he?" Asked Luffy with his head tilted to the side and confusion written all over his face.

"He is the one with the highest bounty of all the rookies! But he can't technically be called a rookie anymore since he already entered the New Wolrd" Answered Robin to Luffy's question with sweat forming slowly on her forehead.

This, on the other hand, scared Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Brook, and Frank.

But Zoro's fighting spirit was increased.

Mark felt embarrassed at Luffy's question, he was here for Rayleigh not him, so it didn't really matter to him.

Mark's plan from the beginning was to get caught and be put beside Rayleigh and perhaps get the chance to learn Haoshoku Haki, but the plan didn't go as expected. So he had to figure out another way to learn it instead.

Mark considered attacking Rayleigh and perhaps even capturing him. But having seen his personality in the canon he dropped the idea and there was also the factor that he could perhaps lose to him.

So the only way to go about this was to take things slowly.

"Hello!" Answered Mark in a seemingly polite voice but his voice was quite stiff, it was obvious that he wasn't comfortable speaking in that tone.

Things began to progress inside the hall and marines had surrendered the outside.

"I'm gonna take care of the marines outside for you guys!" Eustass Kid said with his back towards the hall and waving his hand.

"Who your kidding Kid!" Said Trafalgar Law while running outside too.

"I'm going to beat the marines!" Said Luffy while grinning and also walking towards the marine outside.

Mark just shook his head as he was looking at this scene.
