Galan got off first, looking out as he smiled "Saints, please." Corithess walked ahead of him with his daughter and Galan followed behind them, CP agents surrounding the entire group.
Galan kept his smile and followed behind the Celestial Dragons, keeping a lookout for anyone anywhere. He had seen these people operate before, the key was to keep civilians out of their sights. As long as the Dragons couldn't see anyone, they wouldn't show any sort of random cruelty for no reason.
Galan spread out his observation Haki, covering an extremely large area. He looked around and let out short bursts of Conqueror's Haki, knocking the people out before they crossed into the street the Dragons were walking on.
The reason this worked and Galan wasn't noticed was because the Celestial Dragons were so weak, they couldn't even tell, plus the CP agents were right next to him. Galan was using an advanced form of Conqueror's Haki that was similar to coating his attacks in it.
He would isolate certain people and apply his pressure to others. It was basically targeted bursts of Conqueror's Haki, so there was nothing to actually feel. The CP agents couldn't feel anything, neither could the Celestial Dragons.
The only thing was that the journey was strangely smooth. No people, no interruptions, nothing. The Celestial Dragons were pleased and the CP agents were confused. Galan maintained his smile the whole time, not saying a word or stepping out of line.
They slowly arrived at the Human Auction House…
Galan held the door open for the Celestial Dragons before walking inside himself. Here was the problem…
Galan stood at the back of the Auction House, looking down the rows of seats. The Celestial Dragons were at the front and there were pirates, underground figures, and general shit stain bastards.
Galan's trigger finger started twitching as he calculated the number of heads in the place… So many bastards all in one place… He was having a hard time not jumping at the opportunity.
He closed his eyes and licked his lips, flashing a hint of bloodlust before concealing it right away.
Corithess shouted "Close the damn windows! I'm freezing! You filthy pigs!" The pirates and underground figures frowned before turning around, they knew that feeling, that was the feeling of a killer, not a cold breeze!
They all froze and stared at Galan, who opened his eyes and licked his lips again, staring at them as a grin slowly sprawled across his face. They scrambled and ran out of the Auction House by the dozens, fighting to be the first out, terrified to the core.
Corithess shouted "What is all that noise!?" before turning around seeing everyone scrambling for the door, he shouted once more "Damn filth! Ruining my mood! Kill them!" Galan smiled and disappeared.
The pirates started freezing as they collapsed to the ground, their heads exploding. Galan punched through a pirate's chest, licking his lips as the blood splattered all over his face.
In the blink of an eye, there were no more people, just corpses.
Galan stood on the little mound of corpses, holding one by the throat as he smiled gently as he had always done. He clenched his fist and there was a loud shattering sound that sent chills down the spines of the Celestial Dragons and Cipher Pol agents alike.
Galan dropped the corpse and walked back to his spot, holding his wrist in front of him and smiling as he stood still. There was blood dripping from his leather gloves and blood on the sleeves of his Black suit, as well as blood all over his white and handsome face, but he didn't seem to care at all.
He just stood there and smiled wordlessly. Corithess nodded and muttered "Good dog…" before looking around and smiling as there was nobody else to compete with him on Slaves!
Galan looked at the back with his Observation Haki and frowned inwardly. There were a lot of slaves back there… He couldn't free them from here. A lot of them were innocent people freshly picked up from various places, there were normal people, merfolk, minks, long arms, etc.
He never liked this place… His Armament emission didn't reach that far silently and the most he could do was knock out the Seller and Guards. But then he couldn't explain anything. It was strange enough that the trip to the Auction house was smooth, but now the Seller and Guards for the Slaves were knocked out? AND the slaves escaped?
This was the first and only time they were with Galan, it would be extremely obvious if this happened to only him.
Just as he was thinking about, there was an explosion!
Galan was stunned and the CP agents watching him were also confused, they turned to the back and everyone moved at the same time, going to the back of the Auction House.
Galan and the CP agents saw all the Slaves gone in an instant! Their collars and chains on the ground with the Seller and Guards gone!
Galan was in utter confusion and looked around, asking "What the hell happened??" The CP leader frowned, "Check the Island. Whoever stole the Slaves couldn't have gotten far." before turning to Galan and saying "Come with me." Galan followed him and they went across the island groves to see every Auction house was basically robbed of their slaves!
Even the audience was slaughtered like sheep!
Galan and the CP leader were both stunned. They heard screaming and ran over to see all the Sellers and Guards floating in the water, inside a bubble, chained and covered in shackles from head to toe. Exploding collars, wrought iron shackles, etc!
Galan was stunned and said "The Celestials!" as he shot off, the CP Leader following after him quickly.
The duo came to see the Dragons causing a fuss because they didn't get any slaves. Galan let out a breath and said "Saints, we need to leave. There's been a complication and we have reason to believe that you are both in danger, please follow me." Corithess frowned and shouted "And who the fuck are you!? A dog! I will not leave here unless I get my slaves!"
Galan suddenly smiled gently and nodded, "Very well." before standing behind the duo like a statue and not moving. The CP leader frowned and said "We should go, Saint Corithess." Corithess blew up "Not without my slaves!" The CP leader explained gently "There are no slaves. You'll be sitting here for weeks."
Corithess grinded his teeth in rage and shouted angrily "We'll see!" the CP leader closed his eyes and let out a deep breath silently, unclenching his fists as he stood nearby, keeping a lookout.
The time passed and finally after a few hours
Corithess shouted in absolute rage "That's it! I'm going home!" Galan followed him out and leaned over, whispering to the CP leader, "Bring him back, I'm gonna see if I can find out what's going on here." The CP leader had no reason to suspect Galan at all, he nodded and replied "Report back to me if you find anything. I've never seen anything like this before."
Galan nodded and disappeared like a ghost.
Galan flickered around before coming to Grove 13. He looked up at a bar sign and frowned 'Shakky's Rip-Off Bar' before walking inside.
