Golden Boy : Niklaus D Solstice

Sabaody Archipelago.

Today was supposed to be one like all others as all went about their own business' as usual.

Except fate sometime was unpredictable, there was no way of knowing what could possibly go wrong out of a sudden.

For a reason none could fathom, fate decided to guide twelve people into this island and have them be present at the same time.

Fourteen people, Fourteen pirates, and the Fourteen member of the worse generation, or also called in the future, the Fourteen supernovas.

And met they did, in a single place, a certain renowned auction house on this island. They all had their goals and aspiration and they all had their reasons.

Within them, a certain conspicuous pirate group known for their unpredictability was present. Their goal? Save a mermaid friend of them captured by enslavers. She was supposed to be sold as one of the different auction item.

It has to be said that fishmen and merfolk were quite the prime choice for those who were into slave hunting and the like as they could be sold to a relatively high price, predominantly the human-like merfolk women who due to their exotic nature were quite attractive.

And once news went on that one of them were to be put on sale, the clientele soon find its way toward the auction house.

They were all kinds of people, normal Cillian that came satisfy their curiosity.

The wealthy that came to try their luck.

The travelers that just happened to be here.

The pirates that were known to do as they like.

And finally, even some world nobles or also known as celestial dragons.

But most of them were rather surprised right now since a man with a straw hate just broke through of the wall of auction house when the last bid was about to be accepted and recognized as the new owner of the mermaid known as Camie.

He had quite a peculiar appearance, like most being in this world.

Blacks hairs, round face with a scar below one of his eyes, he was one of the the pirate mentioned above. His name? Monkey D Luffy, and he was here to save his friend... at all cost and regardless of the consequences, he would do so.

He was currently speaking with another member of his pirate crew with green hair and and scar on his chest. That man was another one of them, he was known as Roronoa Zorro.

That scene quite attracted the attention of all present, including the other members of the worse generation.

But their conversation didn't last long as Luffy started walking toward the main stage in the room.

"Camie!" He shouted while walking before it turning into a full blown run. "Camie! We have been looking for you everywhere! What a relief."

Hearing his voice, the mermaid in the aquarium on the main stage couldn't help be become happy, she was joyful as now there was a chance of her getting rescued.*

She didn't want be sold, she didn't to become someone slave, she didn't ask for any of this!

"Luffy!" She shouted back with tears in her eyes as she punched the glasses with all her strength but it was all futile, she was nowhere strong enough.

"Luffy calm down, you can't just do that. If you get her out, the collar around her neck will explode and she will die!" One luffy's friend tried to stop him as his actions were undeniably reckless.

But it didn't work, Luffy was still hell bent on doing it, as thus as the other tried to stop him, his disguise fell, showing everyone in the place that he was also a fishman.

And as everyone was shocked of this revelation, something happened, something terrible.

Boom*

A gun shot resonated, and the pulp-like fishman fell on the ground, blood flowing out his back.

"Huhuhu" A man in cosmonaut suit laughed, he was reasonably ugly and snot flowed down his nose. There was a gun on his hand which was still fuming and pointing the direction of the fish-man. He was a celestial dragon.

Those were also called the world nobles, there were being above everything and anything in term of status, all had to follow there will and they couldn't give a damn about things such as laws and regulation. No, it was more exact to say that their words were laws, and their existence considered sacred. Some were even further and called them Gods.

"I shot it! I took down a fish-man." As the man happily jumped from left to right, celebrating what he did. Luffy and his crewmate looked at the scene with open eyes.

"Look father, I did it!" The celestial dragon looked toward his father in search of validation, and sure enough he obtained what he wanted. "Good job son."

It was at the light of such a scene that some of the spectator around started laughing about the matter, saying that it was the fish-man fault.

It was easy to tell that, such didn't sit well with the fish-man's friend. Luffy in particular, lost all semblance of control over his emotion.

And as vein appeared on his forced and started pulsating, he walked up, retracing his step. But his hand was held by two the others, making his momentarily stop in his momentum.

"W-wait luffy. Y-you promised me to not hurt a celestial dragon." The one who has been shot earlier was the one to stop Luffy. "It was all my fault, I was the one to screw up." He cried. "If I didn't... None of this would have happened." He kept crying.

"I-I was a pirate before anyway... this is what I deserve, so please don't... don't oppose them."

"I am sorry... I-"

"You lousy fish, still blabbering on even though I shot you!" The celestial dragon interrupted them. "You annoy me!" He spoke as he once again pointed his gun toward the Fish-men but Luffy was quick to put himself on the way to cover him.

But it was without saying that, such act infuriated the Celestial Donkey. (yes, it's on purpose)

"What's with that look, commoner?" He was infuriated as he spoke looking at Luffy.

That was enough, Luffy couldn't take it any more.

With a anger in his eyes, he started walking toward the Celestial Dragon, step after step.

"Stop, Luffy! You will get into huge trouble!" Another one of his friend tried to stop him. It was a talking starfish. "Please STOP!"

Sadly, no rather, thankfully, it was all for naught as Luffy kept his momentum this time.

"Do you not see this?" The Celestial Dragon asked, putting his gun in evidence.

But rather than dissuading Luffy, instead he raised on of his hand and formed a fist as he kept walking. His gaze severe and defiant.

"What is he going to do?" A noble voiced in worry.

"Straw-hat-ya...?" Another member of the worse generation, Trafalgar D Water law voiced from his seat.

"Is he serious?" Eustass Kid, member of the worse generation as well.

"You annoy me too!" The celestial dragon voiced as he took two step back in apprehension.

Boom*

He shot a first time but it was dodged by Luffy as he merely moved his head some centimeters.

Boo*

A second shot, just as easily avoided.

Then Luffy proceeded to commit a crime, a crime never committed until this point in time.

Yes, to the shock of all and but one.

Just took place an act of the highest order of satisfaction but also offence.

The pirate know as Straw-hat Luffy, holder of the D, those who are known to defy the Gods just committed the deeds.

For the first time in the history of this world, a God was punched to the face with extreme prejudice!

He was sent flaying trough a couple of wooden chair before lying on the ground unconscious.

"S-saint Charle." Someone muttered his name in disbelief.

And from this moment on, the member of Luffy's crew stood ready to fight as silence reigned.

Nonetheless soon enough that silence gave place to panic and horror.

Luffy cracked his knuckles as the other members of the worse generation looked at this with a leger smile.

But that smile also hide worries, as soon would come the highest force of this world also know as the marine.

A Buster call would be made and soon Four Admirals, the highest officers of the marine, being of great powers would be dispatched into this island to apprehend the criminals.

The others thought, nobles and civilian were already in panic of the situation.

"Hahahahaha!" It was at this moment that a boastful laugh echoed through the entirety of the building.

It was so loud that it prompted everyone to look at a single direction, toward a certain on which sat one rather peculiar guy, with a woman in one of his hand and guy standing behind him.

"Hahahaha... I- I knew... Haha, that would happen... haha, but still. How sensational." The guy sitting laughed his heart out as tears threatened to came out.

"Klaus-sama, you should be more mindful of the situation." The guy behind said with a sigh, but although he said so, he didn't seem that concerned.

"And how are you qualified to say that to Klaus-sama.?" The woman said looking at the guy who just spoke with annoyance.

"I am right hand, of course I am qualified." He replied.

"I am his left hand, and I wouldn't dare say that, so you are not."

"Just because you don't have the guts to say it, doesn't mean I have to refrain myself."

"What did you just say, you martial art wanker!"

"How dare you, muscle girl!"

"Y-you, just didn't..."

"Yes I did, bring it on."

They were quite the particular trio, and seeing as two of them were disputing with no care to the world, the other arounds almost felt out of place.

"Okay, Gil, Marle, that's enough." The man known as Klaus spoke as he lightly patted the girl.

"Yes, Claus-sama" They answered at the same time.

That sudden change of behavior surprised some but most were chocked about another fact. And that was the Identity of those three.

"T-Those a-are...?" One people trembled as he pointed at them.

"I-idiot, don't point, are you looking to die." Another one put his hand down.

"Oy, oy, I am not dreaming right?" Ussop spoke as he looked at them.

"No, you are not, idiot." Sanji bonked his head before taking a shot of his cig.

"Who are they?" An inconspicuous people asked and the one beside him answered as sweet dripped down his cheek.

"The black girl with dark-purplish hair and muscular body in a black wear is... Marle Tight. known as 'Man Crusher' and member of the Golden pirates, her bounty is... 190.000.000 B."

"The tall and well built guy with black hair and eyes, standing behind is, Gildark Trompeur. They call him 'The Fundraiser', also member of the golden pirates, bounty... 200.000.000 B."

"And finally." The man swallowed his saliva in nervousness. "The young man with golden hair and eyes, sitting with one of his leg crossed, laughing earlier is... Nicklaus D Solstice. His epithet is 'Golden Boy', he is the one who refused the position of Warlord, captain of the Golden Pirates, his bounty is... 5- 500.000.000 B."
