From backstage, two figures approached—their footsteps distinct, one heavy, the other light. The wall behind the auction stage crumbled as a massive hand tore through it. A giant, easily towering over the room, stepped into view. His body was broad, covered in scars, and his massive hand still held bits of the shattered wall. Walking in front of him, a much smaller figure strode forward with a calm, almost lazy swagger. His hair was gray, and he sported a beard that gave him a rugged but dignified look. The man wore a plain shirt and pants, yet his presence alone seemed to command attention.

It was none other than "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh, the right-hand man of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. His gaze swept over the room, taking in the scene with a sharpness that cut through the chaos.

"Seems like we drew too much attention," Rayleigh remarked casually, scratching the back of his head.

Hatchan, who was now being treated by Chopper, looked up in shock. "Rayleigh?"

Rayleigh stepped forward, he grinned brightly as he recognized the familiar face, then frowned, noticing the injury. "Hatchan? Is that you? What are you doing here, and what's with that wound?"

Hatchan tried to sit up but winced in pain. "Rayleigh… I—"

Rayleigh raised his hand, shaking his head. "No need to explain. I get the picture." His eyes swept over the room, quickly piecing together the situation. It was as if he could read the chaos like a story unfolding in reverse.

Coby, standing near the crew, felt a slight chill, wondering if Rayleigh was using some kind of Haki ability, but when he activated Scan, nothing came up. Just like that, Rayleigh's gaze shifted back to the crew.

"You've really gotten yourselves into a big mess," Rayleigh muttered, sighing. He looked directly at Luffy and the rest of the Straw Hats, his expression softening slightly. "And you guys helped him out, huh? Well then…"

Suddenly, the entire room was hit with a crushing pressure. The blast of Conqueror's Haki rippled through the air like a shockwave. Instantly, nearly everyone in the room—guards, bidders, and audience members—collapsed, knocked out cold. Only the Straw Hats, Law's crew, and Kid's crew remained standing, though the latter two were visibly struggling to stay conscious, sweat dripping down their faces as they fought to stay upright.

"That's some power," Kid muttered, his teeth clenched as he tried to resist the overwhelming force.

Law, though barely holding on, raised an eyebrow, watching the old man closely. "I didn't expect someone like him to show up here…"

Rayleigh, completely unbothered, strode across the auction house with a calm smile, his eyes locked onto Luffy. "I've been wanting to meet you, Monkey D. Luffy," he said with a smile.

Rayleigh moved towards Camie, who was still trembling inside the globe. He reached out calmly to the explosive collar around her neck. Pappug, clearly about to protest, was cut off by Coby's low voice. "Let him do his thing. You're lucky to see him in action."

Rayleigh shot a small grin at Coby, then turned his attention back to the collar. The crowd in the auction house, those who hadn't already passed out from the Haki blast, watched in a stunned silence. 

The collar beeped, signaling the activation of its defense mechanism, preparing to detonate. Rayleigh didn't even flinch. His hand gently gripped the collar just as the explosion triggered. A brief, controlled shockwave spread from his palm, and the explosion was completely absorbed, redirected away from Camie.

The crowd gasped. Not a single hair on Camie's head was harmed. Rayleigh, with a satisfied smirk, casually tossed the deactivated collar to the side. "All done."

Camie blinked, her wide eyes filled with relief. "Th-thank you…"

Pappug ran over, his tiny arms flailing. "Camie! Are you okay?"

She nodded, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. "Yes… I'm fine."

Rayleigh turned back to the Straw Hats, his eyes meeting Luffy's. "I hope this clears up any trouble."

Luffy grinned, already pumped from the chaos that had erupted. "Yeah, thanks, old man!"

Franky arrived from backstage, twirling a set of keys around his finger with a grin. "Eh, I just found the keys."

Rayleigh, still calm and casual, gave him a small smile. "Oh, you found them? Good job. But they're unnecessary now."

Franky grumbled, clearly a bit disappointed his moment of triumph was short-lived. He tossed the keys towards the other slaves, who were still watching in stunned silence. "You guys free yourselves and get out of here before the Marines raid this place."

The slaves, now on the verge of tears, scrambled to unlock their collars and chains. Some of them managed to choke out grateful words, but most were too overwhelmed by the sudden chance at freedom.

Rayleigh then turned his attention to Kid and Law, his eyes twinkling with amusement. "Oh, it seems I accidentally hit you guys with my Haki too. But since you took it pretty well, you're not bad either."

Kid grinned, his cocky attitude unshaken. "To think someone like you is here… Silvers Rayleigh."

Law gave a slight nod. "Didn't expect to see the 'Dark King' on this island."

Rayleigh chuckled softly. "On this island, I'm just an old coating master. Call me Ray. Don't go around using that other name."

Luffy finally spoke up. "Oi, old man, you wanted to meet me?"

Rayleigh walked over to Hatchan, kneeling down to check on his condition. "We'll talk later."

Before Luffy could say anything else, a voice echoed from outside the auction house. "Attention, criminals! Release the Rosward family immediately! An Admiral is on the way, and who knows what will happen to you rookies!"

Kid and Law exchanged amused glances. Kid, with a smirk, shrugged. "Looks like we're involved too."

Law added, his tone casual, "Seems like they think we're your accomplices."

Kid's grin widened. "I just wanted to see how crazy Straw Hat Luffy is. No complaints on my end."

Rayleigh stood up, brushing the dust from his hands. "I won't be showing myself. I'll leave things outside to you lot."

Kid cracked his knuckles, clearly eager for a fight. "We'll do you a favor and clear them out."

Law gave a small, knowing smile, "Consider it a warm-up."

Luffy, visibly annoyed that they assumed he couldn't handle it, grumbled under his breath.

Coby let Luffy be as the trio of captains started to leave the auction house. This was Luffy's moment, a captain's showdown, and Coby didn't want to interfere. He stepped back, choosing to observe. The fight outside with the Marines was something he could witness and scan for new skills, but this time, it wasn't about gaining SP. It was about letting Luffy assert his dominance in front of the other captains.

As they walked out of the auction house, the trio of captains—Luffy, Kid, and Law—immediately started bickering.

Luffy crossed his arms, glaring at the other two. "I'm more than capable of dealing with the Marines! I don't need your help!"

Kid smirked, his hands tucked into his pockets. "I'm doing you guys a favor. Just sit back and watch how the pros handle it."

Law, with his typical laid-back attitude, chimed in, "Stop being stubborn both of you. I said I will deal with them."

Luffy's annoyance grew as they moved closer to the Marine barricade. The Marines had set up a strong line, blocking the exit with rifles, shields, and swords. Cannons were positioned, aimed at the auction house entrance, with more reinforcements arriving by the second.

The argument between the three captains escalated, each trying to one-up the other. When they reached the Marines, the trio glanced at each other, their competitiveness clear.

Kid cracked his knuckles. "Let's see who can outdo the other in this fight."

"Fine by me!" Luffy grinned, stretching his arms as he prepared to dive into the fray.

Law shrugged. "Just don't slow me down."

The Marines shouted, "Fire!" and cannons erupted, followed by volleys of bullets aimed directly at the pirates.

Luffy darted forward first, shouting, "Gomu Gomu no Gatling!" His fists extended, launching a barrage of punches that tore through the front line of Marines, sending bodies flying. Soldiers and rifles clattered to the ground in heaps as Luffy tore through them, laughing as he did.

Kid wasted no time either. He raised his arm, and the metallic debris scattered around him began to clump together in a huge mass. "Repel!" he shouted, sending the giant hunk of metal crashing into the Marine forces, sweeping dozens of them aside like ragdolls. Their weapons and shields were yanked away by Kid's power, leaving them defenseless.

Law, staying just behind the two, flicked his hand, forming his signature ROOM. "Shambles!" he called, teleporting several Marines in front of each other, causing their own cannon fire to take them down. He sliced through another group with his sword, clean and efficient, displacing their body parts harmlessly in the air, leaving them confused before reassembling them.

The battlefield was a chaotic mess, with Luffy's fists, Kid's magnetic powers, and Law's surgical precision tearing through the ranks of Marines.
