Sujikiki, the previous owner of the Kales sword 'Sujihiki' looked up into the air with wide eyes and an agape mouth as Leroy was the last person he ever even expected to see coming to his rescue in such a large and bombastic way.
He was wearing a new Kimono as compared to before. His hands, neck, and ankles were chained heavily
"Shot!" Leroys fist slung forward and knocked the Auctioneer, Globe, clean out. Blood erupted from his nose as he did a triple backflip through the air and slammed into the wall behind him. Causing the slaves in the cages behind it to leap to their feet and run to the cage bars.
A barracuda, the one from the pamphlet that had been bought by one Bartholomew Howl, whom was sitting in the Amphitheater with a mild expression on his face as Leroy was up in the air.
"What's happening?!" One of the slaves, the Deer said looking around as their bare feet slapped across the ground, one of the myriad of Humans slaves then spoke "Do you think something wrong happened?"
"Maybe somes here to help us!" Another said with a frantic look in her eyes. The cold of the back room chills her nude body. All of them lacked clothes if they were adults besides small garments. And a 'robe' or shotty piece of long fabric to wrap around themselves.
This was not for them. But for the 'Purists' of the crowds who despite being advocates for slavery. Were against public indecency. As for the children they were left in the clothes they had, as many may die due to still growing bodies. Even a child that was taller than a Adult the size of a child would be far more susceptible to the elements of the Slave trade than them
"Don't be daft! Obviously it must be one of those pirates getting into a fight because they lost the bidding war!" Spoke a suspicious old man
Leroy quickly landed on the Stage. And looked Sujikiki up and down. He'd grown up since last time! He was about chest height to Leroy compared to the lower sections as opposed to before.
He also had put on some muscle in between. Which made sense due to the fact that 'Fishmen Strength' tends to kick into full effect when puberty starts. It isn't as visible on some individuals like kirk, but it certainly was for Suji
"Look good kid! Hold still." Leroy said, flipping him around and grabbing the collar before crushing it and tossing it away, then stomping the chains on the ground, and the ones around his hands, and tossing those too, Where they all harmlessly clattered across the wood of the Stage "I'll be right back! Stay here! This shouldn't take long."
Meanwhile people were frozen. Not really knowing what to do. But there were 3 individuals that were quickly moving. "Wake up you fat bastard! We've gotta get out of here!" Spoke the female Celestial Dragon who looked around to see people pushing and shoving and others utterly in fear of getting in the Dragon's way. Frozen in their seats.
Everything was happening so fast! It hadn't been even 15 seconds since Leroy threw that punch! And people didn't exactly know how to react! But a second later they got their answer!
A scream was muffled behind the wall when suddenly-!
"SHOT!" Leroys gigantic Hulk Shot fist slammed into the wall! Collapsing and shattering it apart! Followed by and utter flood of slaves!
That got people moving!
"Hey! What the fuck! The slaves are getting away!" Spoke one who got to his feet with a point and was attempting to scramble through the rows to try and catch his supposed property.
"What the hell, somebody stop them! Marines!" One called but the only to respond was the internal security, men in trench coats running in with rifles! Bangs slammed against the doors that were locked, the sound of hands from the slaves as the Guards did not have permission to shoot sold slaves. And given the crowd they couldn't determine who was bought and who wasn't!
But there were those that were quickly making action.
The Knights of Heavens Guard. The Body Guards that are rarely seen. But never heard. Even when walking next to the Celestial Dragons themselves. They are almost never truly were seen as they blend in from being faceless suits of armor that all bear the sigil of the dragon across their armor. Large ornate pauldrons that took years of work to make a single set. Long lances with round pointed ends with feathers and fabrics falling from them. Their faces covered by Helmets with Holes covering the face plate
They did not quell any of the Chaos. Far from it. They were quick to act and pushed and smacked civillains out of the way that came within a distance of the Dragons still arguing
Howl stood to his feet as he watched on with a blank expression. His Mind seemed to disconnect from reality as his eyes weren't even focused on the slave he bought, but a Deer that was attempting to make their way through the crowd.
"Lets go!" 20 Seconds now. And the Red Sashes knew that was their cue! Hands from Raven sprouted to shove the doors open with force as Jeanne came in with lit smoke bombs to toss and scatter across the entire theatre, masking the movements of the escapees!
"What the hell?! Smoke?!" The old Celestial Dragon said. Even with all his authority, he was freezing on what to do. The Guards were doing their jobs! But where in the world were the Marines!
Outside Noir sat on a pile of Marines that groaned and moaned. The rest of the crew had dealt with them easily!
30 seconds. And the chaos didn't let up. And only now did Leroy come out to the Stage, getting the rest of the Slaves out and making a hole through the back door as well. Making sure the Slaves were as spread thin as possible to ensure not one place was their exit
Pulling himself up to the Stage he began to speak "Alright Sujikiki. Let get a mov-"
A sound reverberated through the entire room. A singular gunshot. From an ornate break action pistol, an Eccellente. Golden barrel that was laden with silver and jewels smoking at the end.
Archibald. The Young Celestial Dragon Lord now stood in the aisle of the theater, in the very middle. The other two behind him telling him to get a move on and to 'Just buy another one! Don't dirty yourself because you're acting like a child!'
But the gunshot rang and silenced. Everyone. The slaves at the door. The smoke bombs filled the air, which was split in half. Archibald sitting in the middle of it.
Even Howl, Low, and the Red Sashes stood in silence.
"Kaff." Was the next sound that was heard.
Blood spilling from Sujikiki as the round had pierced his chest. Before collapsing to the ground.
"If I can't have it. Then it doesn't get to live." Archibald said. Finally responding to the Other Dragons. "Who would've-" He began to ramble. Standing in the middle of the Stairs as everyone was frozen in place
"Kid!" Leroy shouted and scampered up Sujikiki. Lifting him up, holding his head to stop him from drowning in the crimson "Hah-Aff..!" Sujikiki couldn't form words "Cmon cmon…."
His Breath…began to slow. The Superpowered .500 round must've shredded his muscle. "Ha- I- Ah..ha.." Suji attempted to speak. But nothing but sputters of life came. Leroy couldn't do anything…He wasn't a doctor…Dezzi was outside but someone…
Someone.
Someone. Was Blocking his path.
Leroys head slowly turned. locking on with the Celestial Dragon.
It took a quick one over to know exactly what he was looking at. He hadn't seen him before but he knew exactly what he was. Instinct
Slowly Leroy put the Fishman in his arms down. Careful to put his head gently on its side so as to not choke on the blood.
Then he began to grow, Rising to his feet. His eyes locked onto the Celestial Dragon the entire way, the mutterings and ramblings of Archibald continued. He didn't see Leroy until the other two turned and locked onto Leroy. A look suddenly coming over their faces
One of dismay, frustration, and confusion. It was then archibald followed their path
Only to see Leroy Standing Tall, eyes locked on him. He stood still for a second, fist clenched looking almost like a statue as his eyes bore their way into the soul of the Dragon before him.
There was not a hint of anger across his face. His brow merely furrowed. Eyes looking through his brow as his head was slightly tilted forward.
It was almost an inconspicuous look, but one that sent a chill down the Dragon's spine. Causing him to recoil
"What the fuck?! What's with that look? The hell are you looking at me for, don't you know your place? Kneel!" Archibald Shouted a Command.
But The words fell on deaf ears.
And Then-
Leroy began to walk.
The entire crowd's eyes were locked on Red Sash at that moment.
"He can't be serious..." Howl said under his breath as his purple eyes Narrowed. Low on the other hand made a gesture with his hand. And suddenly he, the Red Sashes, Sujikiki, and the Slaves within disappeared.
But-
The captain's eyes were glued to the dragon in front of him; each footstep seemed to reverberate through the ground. His shoulders swung slightly with each stride as he began to ascend the stairs.
Even the Knights around didn't even dare to move, the very conditioning that was ingrained into their mind, body and soul betrayed them in that moment.
"Don't you dare come any closer! Do you know who I am?! I'm a God! Cease your approach now!" Archibald's hands moved quick opening the gun emptying the chamber and sliding another bullet
He then raised the gun. And didn't wait to issue another order as he pulled the trigger at the looming figure before him.
Only for the Bullet to seemingly phase through Leroy! It was the easiest thing in the world to dodge at that moment. Moving out of the way so impossibly fast, and then back into place only for it to seem like he was intangible. "..."
Step.
The Ground Seemed to Quake.
Step. Another Shake that Archibald felt in his soul. Hands stuttering to unload the gun.
Step
Another quake. And Archibald Looked up!
Step
Finally, Leroy was in front of him. A final foot fall that was like thunder shaking through the ground.
Red Sash clenched to knuckle white. Shoulder Twisting. Feet grinding into the stair!
At that moment he thought about it all. All of the Slaves. Everyone at Judice Island. All of that in worship of this. Standing in front of him. The Slaves there too. Then he thought about Wringly. The Citadel. Raven. Dezzi.
All of this rage, and utter divine fury was unleashed! Suddenly Leroys face melted from something that had only the notions of Subdued rage, into a screw of utter contempt and wrath!
It was like a roll of thunder. The roar of a Beast that they all stood before! The very vibration being felt in their entire being! It Released from Leroys Throat! "HRAAAH!!!"
It was the most basic, fundamental, instinctual movement in Leroy's body. A Punch!
His fist slung forward with impossible speed! Splitting and ripping the air apart as he put all of the force he could muster into his fist!
Then!
It connected with the Dragons Face with Devastation and Damnation! Twisting and Screwing the flesh, rending and distorting it! Only for the moment after where Leroys fist followed through-!
The Celestial Dragon. A God of This World that stood ato of Every being in the world!
His face ruptured, Split and Shredded apart! Rending and Breaking before- Exploding into an Eruption of True Retribution!!
