The smoke cleared abruptly and revealed Galan standing there, completely unharmed, only his shirt in tatters. He looked at Franky, stone faced, asking "Are you done, Cutty Flam?" Franky grit his teeth and Galan started crushing his face, saying slowly "Then you can die, I will destroy this island for the Blueprints if I have to… The only survivor will be that woman."
Franky's eyes widened and he trembled, clenching his fists as he started heating up in rage, "You… You'll kill everyone?! FOR SOME PAPERS?!" Galan looked at him plainly, "Just an island, there are countless more." Franky was beyond angry and grabbed Galan's arm with both hands, growling "I won't let you!"
Galan looked at Franky's hands, as expected… Franky roared, his face cracking and appearing extremely menacing as he shouted "SUPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!" Galan's hand started trembling as he slowly let go, Franky's hands flashing black intermittently.
Galan made a big show, saying "Impossible… Color of Armament!?" Franky was crazy, roaring in anger as he tore Galan's arm off his face, throwing him out with his arms covered in black! He was breathing heavy and charged at Galan, screaming "Take this! SUPER STRONG RIGHT!"
Franky threw a Haki covered right fist, the fist shooting out like a rocket, piercing the air! Galan raised a brow, he learns fast. Combining Flying Finger Gun with his fist just like that…
However, it wasn't enough.
Galan tilted his head to the side and grabbed the chain, pulling violently, dragging Franky through the air uncontrollably! Galan clenched his fist and said "This is Haki." as it turned black.
Galan punched his right fist and smashed Franky's face, following through and burying him in the ground. Franky's teeth were clenched as his eyes went white! Galan let go of the chain and pulled back his fist, looking at Franky laid out on the ground unconscious.
He snorted, he only knocked him out. He didn't cause severe damages, his control on his strength was immense. At most the damage was surface level, Franky would be out for a few hours and back up after that.
Galan returned to normal and muttered "1 down, 6 to go…" he turned his head, looking at Usopp, who was trembling in fear before running away, screaming. Galan disappeared and reappeared behind Usopp, saying "We meet again, Long Nose. Where are the Blueprints for Pluton?"
Usopp was terrified and shouted "I don't know!" Galan replied "Then you can die like Cutty Flam." Usopp's soul nearly left his body as Galan grabbed his face, demonstrating Shave and Paper Arts as well as Observation Haki.
He ran through the entire crew like this before finally coming to Robin.
She froze and looked up at the roof, to see Galan looking down at her with bloody hands. She gasped and covered her hands with Haki, crossing them with a frown. Galan looked at her, the pure hatred in her eyes made him feel relieved.
This hatred would make her strong.
Not to mention, only a few awakened their Haki.
Franky, Zoro, and Nami.
Usopp, Sanji, and the reindeer didn't do it.
Surprisingly, Nami awakened Observation Haki instead of Armament. However, this wasn't enough, if they were going to the New World, they needed all these things. He frowned inwardly, these fledglings were too hasty. There were real monsters in the New World!
He felt his shoulder burning as he recalled a horned figure… It's expected that the bastard was feeling the same at the moment? Galan hoped so, he wanted nothing more than to rush over and kill him, but he wasn't allowed…
Being the Fleet Admiral, was too restrictive in Galan's opinion, the only way he could kill an Emperor was if they came to him. Which idiot would do such a thing?
He clenched his fists and they turned black before being coated in a goopy aura along with electrical arcs. He looked down at Robin, who turned pale in an instant, saying "Where are the Blueprints for Pluton, girl." Robin bit her lips and glared at him, the hatred in her eyes burning like the sun, "I don't have 'em!"
Arms grew on Galan, covered in Haki, grabbing him, however they couldn't move him at all. He frowned "That's it? I'm disappointed." as he exploded off the building, adding "Your time has come."
Robin stepped back, her face completely pale as Galan appeared in front of her in an instant, his fist shooting towards her head, full of momentum! Her life flashed before her eyes and the last thing she saw was Galan's emotionless face, however!
A figure appeared in front of her, cloaked in a black cloak with a mask on, a leg covered in a goopy aura blocking the fist!
Robin was stunned and stepped back in shock, Galan frowned, "Who are you?" The cloaked figure said in a muffled voice "I have the Blueprints. Stop attacking the innocent." Galan snorted gently and threw another fist, shooting an uppercut!
The Figure twirled and the back of their other leg, blocked the fist.
A space in between their attacks as a blast of wind exploded from the contact point!
The Figure said "Nico Robin, your comrades have been saved by me… But they are on their last legs! You must bring them to a secure location!" Galan said plainly, "Speaking plans in front of me? How bold." As he shot off the ground, flashing past the figure, clawing at Robin's head.
She exploded with sweat, tilting her head back before he even swiped!
Galan was stunned and the figure took the opportunity to kick Galan in the stomach, sending him flying through several buildings!
The Figure looked at Robin, saying "Congratulations. You've achieved Future Sight Observation Haki… Train well, Nico Robin! Farewell." as the figure shot towards Galan, spinning in the air and dropping a heel on him.
Galan bent his arm over his head and looked at the figure, who twisted and kicked out towards his chin.
Galan grabbed the foot and threw the figure out, smashing them through a building as they turned around and escaped quickly. Galan looked at Robin, saying "Next time, you won't be so lucky." as he chased after the figure, destroying buildings under him just using them as footholds!
Robin turned around and ran away, shouting "Chopper! Sanji! Everyone?!"
Far away, Galan confronted the figure, saying "Fast." The figure took off the cloak and giggled "So exciting! I like this kind of play!" she buried her head in Galan's chest, smiling happily. Galan sighed and hugged her waist, disappearing before someone saw them.
A second later, a corpse of a man appeared on the ground with the cloak and mask, wearing revolutionary paraphernalia and clothing.
Of course this wasn't a real Revolutionary, but a pirate Galan found around Water 7. He had slaughtered 4 villages.
Well, he was a good scapegoat.
