"Here, take me to someone who can give me information" Said Shun who was waiting for Toma and the others to arrive at the entrance of the village.
The village was deserted, it seemed that Gally's pirates had influenced a lot of terror.
"Okay, follow me Shun-san" Toma replied in a discouraged tone because of what he just saw.
It seemed that the pirates didn't care much about the entrance of the village, as there was no one watching. After all, they were arrogant pirates not very disciplined.
Plus this village was no big deal.
Toma walked up to a house and knocked on the door a couple of times.
Knock, knock
...
After a few seconds, someone answered, "W-who is...?" a shaky voice was heard from the other side.
"It's me Isao-san, Toma"
"W-what, Toma!?" He said in surprise as he opened the door.
"Oh, really it's you little Toma!" He added.
Isao was an elderly man, Toma considered him as his grandfather since he took care of him since he was a child.
When he saw Toma, he hugged him and started to cry.
"How did you manage to escape from those pirates?" Isao asked with tears in his eyes.
"It's a long story, it's better to talk inside" Toma answered making a face to make him understand that it's dangerous to chat outside.
Isao because of the happiness of seeing Toma, had not noticed the presence of Shun and the others.
"Sorry I got excited, come inside"
Toma nodded and nodded to Shun and the others to follow him.
When they were all inside, Isao noticed the others and got excited.
"What a relief everyone is safe! What happened, did the marine save them?" he asked in the hope that the navy would save his village.
Everyone shook their heads and Chihiro replied.
"No, we were saved by this young man, his name is Kimura Shun."
"Yes, if it wasn't for him we would surely be slaves by now" Ralph added.
Everyone else nodded while Shun had a poker face.
"What, this guy saved them?" asked Isao in surprise and with some hesitation.
He hadn't noticed it before out of excitement that everyone was okay, but this black-haired boy only looked a little older than Toma.
Besides, Gally sent half of his crew and this kid was still able to save them, it was hard for Isao to believe. He even sent his vice-captain who had a bounty on his head.
"Hey brats don't joke with me" Isao added with a frown.
"Isao-san it's no joke otherwise how else would we be here safe and sound?" Chihiro said.
"It's true, we had a hard time believing it at first, but when we saw all the dead pirates, we had no choice" Jack added.
"Yes Oji-san, Shun-chan is very strong, he saved us from the pirates, teaching them a lesson" Hana said with emotion, although she hadn't seen Shun fight and just wanted to comment.
"..." Shun.
Isao had no choice but to accept it, as there is no other explanation for how they got to the island again.
"Old man, do you know where the Gally Pirates are staying?" interrupted Shun a bit impatiently.
"Eh?" Isao was surprised by Shun's question.
"Do you want to attack Gally Pirates' base all by yourself?" he asked.
"Yes, so if you know where they're staying, tell me" Shun replied.
"I can't tell you. I'd be sending you to your death" Isao said, shaking his head with concern.
*This stubborn old man... I'll have to find them on my own* Shun thought somewhat annoyed at Isao's refusal. He then started heading towards the door.
"Isao-san, please tell Shun the location of the Gally Pirates! He's very powerful and he'll save the village, trust me!" Toma exclaimed.
Although Toma was worried about Shun, he had seen how he easily defeated the pirates and shattered Oyag's sword with just two fingers. He knew Shun possessed a strange power and wasn't afraid to kill the pirates.
Moreover, Shun was the only person who could save them, as the marines might take a long time to arrive or never come at all.
"Hmm, if you say so..." Isao said, somewhat surprised by Toma's reaction.
"Well, if you trust him that much, I'll tell him" Isao said with a sigh. He hadn't expected Toma to have so much faith in this black-haired boy.
"Alright, kid, I'll tell you where to find Gally" he added, looking at Shun.
"Good, that'll save me a lot of trouble" Shun said as his mood improved slightly.
After a few minutes, Shun left Isao's house and headed for Gally's pirate lair.
"Are you sure he'll be alright?" asked Isao somewhat worried as he watched Shun's back leave.
"Yes, although he doesn't talk much, he is trustworthy" said Chihiro feeling relieved inside, as Gally's pirates will soon leave this world and no longer torment her village.
"You should be more worried about Gally and his crew..." said Ralph with a strange expression on his face. The others nodded agreeing with his comment.
Although they hadn't seen Shun fight they could notice the dead bodies when they went up to the deck of the ship and Shun's appearance was in perfect condition, he didn't even have any signs of fatigue or any scratches on his clothes.
Isao was a little surprised by the comments and felt some reassurance that someone is coming to save his people.
*Luckily Toma convinced that stubborn old man, otherwise it would have taken much longer* Shun thought as he walked at a fast pace. He wanted to find Gally and defeat him as soon as possible. By defeating his vice-captain so easily, he felt that Gally would be no big deal for more than having a bounty of 5,000,000 bellys.
Isao told Shun that Gally's pirates were staying at one of Mr. Octavio's properties, which was south of the town entrance, about 30 minutes walk.
Octavian had 3 properties in total, so if he didn't tell him which one he was staying at specifically, he would have had to go to 3 different locations wasting a lot of time.
"Okay I'll be there in 5 minutes" Shun said to himself as he controlled the air currents and created a spherical ball of Air.
Shun rode the air ball like a skateboard and controlling the air currents started spinning forward like a spinning top at high speed. The air ball or as Shun called this technique [Air Skateboard] had a great speed, managing to reach the place in only 5 minutes.
As for the control of the air skateboard, it no longer gave him any difficulty and he was an expert driver.
When he arrived at his destination, he saw a mansion with 4-meter walls that were used as a fence.
Behind the walls, he could hear many happy voices laughing and singing.
*Looks like they're celebrating, this will make everything easier" Shun thought with a slight smile.
On the other side of the walls, he could see a group of pirates celebrating and singing.
"Hahaha bring more sake" Said one pirate as he emptied his glass.
"Hey you, hurry up and get some more sake for my friend!" shouted a pirate ordering a maid.
"Y-yes sir!" Replied the maid hurrying to fetch more alcohol.
As she was bringing the drinks she tripped and spilled all the alcohol.
WHAM!
"YOU USELESS BITCH! IT LOOKS LIKE THAT IDIOT OCTAVIO DIDN'T TEACH YOU YOUR JOB" He said angrily as he grabbed her by the hair and slapped her.
This was one of the maids at Octavio's mansion, the pirates held her captive to wait on them. She had long brown hair and looked to be about 25 years old.
"S-sorry please stop-"
Before she could apologize further she received another slap.
"Only speak when I let you bitch" He said as he continued to slap her.
"Compressed air bullet" Shun said in a low tone as he pointed towards this pirate.
These last few times he was on the island, he had a habit of naming his attacks out loud so he wouldn't feel so lonely, so it became a sort of habit.
BANG!
The forehead of the pirate who was insulting and hitting the woman was pierced by a kind of air projectile killing him instantly.
The pirate fell dead near the woman who was in shock, not understanding what had happened.
"What happened!?" Gally shouted in confusion as he stopped drinking from his glass. He noticed out of the corner of his eye as one of his crew fell to the ground, though he didn't see the projectile due to his speed.
"Damn, who did that?" Said another pirate noticing his dead comrade with a spot on his forehead dripping blood.
*It looks like one pirate is missing...* thought Shun noticing that there were only 8 pirates alive, with the one he killed there were 9 and it was supposed to be about 10 pirates.
All the pirates were shocked and looking for where this quick attack came from.
Shun used a new technique that he had developed over the past year and a half. What he did was to compress air in his finger creating a small circle, then he shot it achieving very high speeds. This bullet can easily pass through flesh as he demonstrated by piercing the pirate's forehead easily.
"There he is, up the wall!" shouted a pirate as he pointed his finger at Shun for the others to see.
*Well one down, now I have to get this woman out of here or they can use her as a hostage* Shun thought.
Although he did not think of himself as some kind of hero, because of the upbringing his mother gave him he did not want to involve innocent people in his fight. In the ship fight he did his best to keep Toma from getting hurt.
He quickly created an air current behind him that propelled him at full speed, quickly reaching the woman's side. His explosive speed made the pirates unable to react.
Shun looked at the woman, with his stoic expression, and saw that her face was badly bruised clearly, the pirate didn't hold back when he hit her.
"W-you who are you?" she asked fearfully, she was confused by the blows the pirate had given her, so she didn't understand the situation much.
"Calm down and don't resist" Shun answered in a monotonous tone.
After that he lifted her in his arms and started running at full speed, heading for the walls so he could get her to safety.
"What the...!" The woman shouted in surprise and hugged Shun tightly, as she didn't expect him to run at such speed.
"Shoot that bastard!" shouted Gally angrily, as he pointed his finger at Shun.
Quickly the pirates followed his order and drew their revolvers and began firing at Shun.
¡BANG!
¡BANG!
¡BANG!
A great rain of bullets was heading towards Shun, thanks to his speed many of them missed, but some of them were about to hit him from blind spots.
Shun with his observation haki could notice three bullets that were going to hit him, one in his back and another in his shoulder, and the last one would hit the woman. He quickly created an air current under him and jumped. The moment he jumped, the air current he created below him propelled him even higher.
In the air, he created another current that pushed him at full speed outside the walls of the mansion. The woman didn't see any of this, as her eyes were closed and she had her head fully nestled on Shun's chest.
*Easy* thought Shun was pleased with his performance.
Gally and him pirates watched this with shocked expressions on their faces, they never saw someone so agile and fast, *Devil's fruit...* thought Gally noticing that these powers were only possible through these fruits that were considered legends.
Quickly Shun jumped off the wall towards the outskirts of the mansion and supported the woman on the ground, "Now you're okay, go to village" said Shun as he let go of the woman.
As she was suddenly released by Shun and her shock at experiencing all this, the woman fell to the ground, "Ouch..." she said as she stood up and wiped off the dirt, after that, she looked up and was surprised by Shun's appearance.
"T-thank you..." she said after a few seconds, Shun didn't answer her and jumped back to the wall to face Gally and his henchmen.
The young woman looked in surprise at Shun's back who took a big jump and entered the mansion's territories again, *Who is he?" thought the woman knowing that this boy doesn't belong to her village.
