Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 — “Reputation Incoming”

The battlefield was silent… for a few seconds.

MC stood in the center, slime form flickering, human form stabilized, half-evolved, half-chaotic.

"…Okay, that was intense."

He stretched his arms.

"…And now everyone hates me."

[Alert: High hostility detected from surrounding Marines]

😐 The Problem

MC (internally):"Three Vice Admirals gone… sort of. Everyone else is staring. Which means…"

"…Yeah, I'm the new target."

[Alert: Elite Marine forces approaching]

"…Great. Can we take a coffee break first?"

⚔️ Incoming Reinforcements

From the horizon, massive warships appeared.

And leading them—

Monkey D. Garp, slightly bruised but grinning. Sengoku, calm as ever. A squad of admirals, Haki radiating like mini storms.

MC blinked.

"…Oh… they brought the adults."

⚡ MC's Thought Process

"Okay… survived three Vice Admirals… now facing top-level Haki users… probably should run?"

[Suggestion denied: Mission priority – high]

"…Mission?"

MC looked at the deck. The destroyed cannons. The broken floor.

"…Yeah. I'm officially the 'problem child'."

🐉 Rocks Crew Reaction

Kaido and Big Mom laughed hysterically from the back.

"HAHAHA! KEEP GOING!"

Whitebeard smirked.

"Gurarara… he's unstoppable."

Rocks D. Xebec silently observed.

"…Potential. Immense potential."

💥 First Clash

An admiral jumped straight toward him. Haki blazing.

MC didn't panic.

He grinned.

"…Alright, time to level up."

He bent his body, melting into slime form mid-air.

"Predator!"

The admiral's punch struck… nothing.

MC had absorbed part of the impact, partially consuming the force.

"…OH YES!"

[Skill upgraded: Predator → High-Grade Target Absorption]

"…I feel EXP'd."

😈 First Offensive Haki Use

MC reformed human-style mid-flight.

He stretched his arm, coating it in Proto-Armament Haki.

"Let's try this."

BOOM!

His punch hit the admiral.

Haki clashed.

The deck cracked under the pressure.

The admiral staggered.

"…WHAT?!"

MC laughed.

"…Ohhhhhh, this is FUN."

😂 Battlefield Reputation Begins

Nearby Marines whispered:

"Is that… the slime?!"

"Impossible… he absorbed Garp's punches."

"He's… evolving mid-fight?"

"…Someone call Sengoku."

MC grinned.

"…Yup. They're scared now."

⚡ Rocks Observes

Rocks D. Xebec leaned forward.

"…Interesting. Not just adaptation…"

"…He's strategic, chaotic, and… fearless."

Kaido laughed.

"HAHAHA! This kid's gonna break everything!"

💀 Clash Escalates

MC and the admiral exchanged multiple blows.

Slime body absorbs attacks. Human body counters with Haki. Predator devours anything physical or energy-based in small chunks.

Within minutes, the admiral realized:

"…This is impossible!"

MC, mid-battle, waved casually:

"…Don't take it personally. I just really like stealing power."

[System: High-level combat data acquired → growth accelerated]

🌊 Final Moment

MC landed back on his ship.

Panting. Glitching. Smiling.

"…Wow. I think I just… became famous."

Nearby Marine scouts radioed:

"Target confirmed: Slime. Extremely dangerous. Approach with caution. Do not underestimate."

MC grinned.

"…Ohhh… I have a reputation now. Cool."

Kaido laughed from the back:

"HAHAHAHA! He's officially unkillable in my eyes!"

Rocks D. Xebec, calmly, finally spoke:

"…Now the real fun begins."
