Chapter 6 - Chapter 6 - Jugon

Next day,

Glenn was experiencing his reward from the other day. He already claimed the Basic Observation Haki from the system.

This morning, uncle John informed him that his documents are ready and he was surprised of how fast it was. At this time, he was in the streets heading towards Daisy's apartment but he moves a little bit strange. Glenn was actually practicing his observation haki by closing his eyes while walking.

It was a magical feeling for him. He had a clear vision 360 degrees and it seems that everything seems to be moving slowly. He knows the trajectory of every movement, two meters around him.

Once he's done experimenting,he quickly made his way towards his destination.

When Glenn arrived at Daisy's apartment, he was already carrying a burger that he bought along the way.

He knocked on the door rhythmically and not long after, Daisy opened the door for him. He went inside and saw the documents on the table. Driver's license, birth certificate, social service number, passport, even the fire arm license he requested and so on.

"You're a bit early." Daisy mumbled.

"Yeah, I figured I come early as a form of courtesy. You know, not to make you wait." Glenn said while looking at the documents.

"Well, good thing I've already finished them this morning." Daisy said as she yawn.

"You didn't sleep?" Glenn asked.

"What do you think?"

"Sorry for the trouble and I really appreciate your efforts."

"Mmm, it's okay. Take them away."

"By the way, this is for you. I bought it on the way. I just thought you haven't had your breakfast yet."

"Thanks, is this a cheese burger? Wow, I appreciate it."

"Uh look, Daisy. I wanted to insist in paying for these documents cause I'm clearly satisfied with the outcome. I know you do this for uncle John but we both know you also need some cash."

Hearing this, Daisy hesitated for a moment so Glenn push for it further.

"Here, take this. Just take it as a tip, okay?"

Glenn took her hand and put in a wad of cash rolled up in a rubber band.

"Come on, take it. You can use it to buy more equipment for your computer. Besides, I might still need your help in the future so if it's okay, can we exchange numbers?"

"O-okay. You are a weird one, huh."

"I'll take that as a compliment." Glenn grinned.

Both of them chatted for a while before they exchanged their contact information. Glenn also told her that if she needs any help in the future, she can call him.

Glenn left the apartment feeling light because another problem was solved quicker than expected. He turned to an alley and stored his papers in his inventory. Once done, he returned to the main street and he couldn't help but hum a song.

We, we don't have to worry 'bout nothing'~

Cause we got the fire, and we're burning one hell of a something

They, they're gonna see us from outer space, outer space

Light it up, like we're the stars of the human race, human race

When the lights started out, they don't know what they heard

Strike the match, play it loud, giving love to the world

'Cause we got that fire, fire, fire

Yeah, we got that fire, fire, fire!~

'Cause we got that fi--fuck!!"

When he was about to cross the street, he suddenly halt his step and move backward to avoid a firetruck rushing over from the distance. He actually heard already but he didn't anticipate it would turn toward his way.

Weeee ohhh weee ohh weee ohhh

Woosshhhhh!

"Holyshit! Fuck you truck! There's no way I'm gonna let you isekaid me twice you fucking piece of iron!" Glenn cursed.

He stared at the direction where the firetruck is going and there he saw in the distance a thick plume of smoke rising up from an apartment building.

Glenn gulped and when remembered what he was singing, he muttered to himself, "Did I just jinx it?"

Since Glenn doesn't have anything urgent to do at the moment, he decided to check it out. He also remembered that he still have one Mission Quest left pending.

He quickly made his way over and when he arrived, a lot a people where everywhere. There were victims who managed to get down before the situation got worse, police officers that organize the crowd, firefighters who were rushing to an fro and medics who were checking the survivors.

He manage to ask some people on the scene what happened and what the current situation is. He learned that all of the tenants managed to get down safely except for two kids who was trapped in their own appartment. Their parents where at work so no one is taking care of them at the moment. The door's security lock was quite strong leaving the firefighters helpless.

Taking out his mask from the inventory, he wore it on his face and then he checked the quest from the system.

•First steps to become a Hero•

Save at least one people from any immediate danger while not showing your face.

Rewards: 100 pts. (Every additional life saved + 100 pts.)

Taking a deep breath, he cheered himself up and proceeded to do it. He looked around and he quickly formulate some plan on how to go up. Then he ran fast and jumped on the fire truck. He pivoted upwards landing to a nearby terrace. Then he jumped again holding his body up through his sheer hand strength climbing upwards like a parkour expert. At this time, Glenn can already hear some shouting and exclamations on the ground. They were probably pointing out to him thinking what he was doing. He even heard a helicopter up the sky.

Within a few minutes, Glenn was able to reach the floor where the two children were residing. Without wasting much time, he smashed the reinforced glass with all his strength but all it did is dent inwardly.

"Fucking hell! It's seems that I'm gonna need an equipment to enhance my strength."

He had a glimpsed of what's inside and saw a thick smoke covering up the entire floor. Ninety percent of the time, the cause of death when there's a fire was not the fire itself but the smoke when inhaled excessively.

"I'll have to go all out. Tsk, if only I have Armament Haki right now, this would be easier. I'll use Jugon then."

A/N: Jugon (Solid Beast) - Used by Fukuro, strong punch which is done at the same speed as Shigan, making it even more powerful. (From Onepiece wiki)

"Here we go!"

Jugon!

Bang!

"Shit why did I have to blurt it out? Hmm must be out of reflex. Anyway, this thing is hard. Fuck you overprotective parents!"

Glenn clenched his bloodied fist once again and this time unleashed multiple Jugon one after another.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Finally, after his relentless pounding, the glass shattered and he quickly made his way inside.

"Hello! Cough! Anyone in here? Kids?! Make some noise if you hear me."

Glenn crouched down because the smoke was getting denser and he slightly tensed up since no one is answering. He thought he might be too late.

'Now where would I be if ever there's a fire in my house? Right! The bathroom!' Glenn's eyes lit up.

Glenn searched for the bathroom and turned the knob and found it was locked. He knocked on the door and shouted, "Anybody there? Please answer."

He really thought it was already too late but then he heard a soft sob from inside. He also heard the sound of flowing water.

'Smart kids, hehe.'

"Kid, open the door and I'll get you out of here and take you to your mommy."

"Wuuuuuu~"

A few seconds later, he saw the door opened and when he went inside, two kids and two dogs huddled inside the bathtub. An 8 year old boy and a 6 year old little girl who was crying.

"You did a great job, kids. Now, I'm gonna take you out okay? Let's play a game. You have to copy what big brother is going to do, okay?"

Both kids nodded and while they each held their dogs. Their breed seems to be a mix of poodle and chihuahua.

Glenn went outside with the kids in tow.

"Go! Copy, what I do."

Glenn crouch down crawling in four. When they are halfway enough from the balcony, Glenn suddenly stood up and picked them up from the ground. He began running towards the balcony with the kids in his arms. When he arrived at the balcony, he put down the kids and told them to wait for him there.

Glenn rush back inside grabbing a blanket from the bedroom. Then he wrapped the two kids to him using the blanket and made sure to fasten them up.

"Hey, kids. Let's play another game. Do you know how to sing the alphabet?"

"Yes, big bro."

"Yesh bibro."

"Ahww~okay, close your eyes and sing the alphabet. No matter what happens, don't open your eyes until you finish singing, alright? Don't let go of your puppies and hold them tight."

"A B C D..."

The two kids nodded and they both closed their eyes. When they started singing, Glenn didn't hesitate to jump over the air conditioner protruding on the edge and making it a stepping platform for him to jump down.

Every jump he took, nervous exclamation sounded from below. Less than a minute later, he was already on the ground and the crowd began to celebrate.

Glenn quickly unfasten the blanket putting the down the two kids in his arms with their dogs.

"Good job, kids!"

Glenn ruffled their hair and told them to open their eyes. A middle-age woman surge forward followed by her husband to embraced the two kids. They seems to be their parents and they cried in relief seeing that their children were fine.

Glenn took the commotion as an opportunity to slip away and quickly used Soru to escape from the scene.

Then they heard the little girl who seems to be searching for someone.

"Where's big brother?"

The crowd was stunned and remembered the bold guy who rescued the two kids. They keep searching but he seems to disappear in thin air.

The mother could only shout hoping he could hear her.

"Whoever you are, thank you so much for saving my children!!!"

"Bibro~! Thank you saving Mimi! Bye bye!"

Unexpectedly, the crowd followed suit and shouted one another.

"Yeah, thank you for saving them hero!"

"You are an angel!"

"Whoever you are, I hope you have a good fortune!"

"Yeah, thank you so much!"

"Well done, lad! I have a daughter who turned 18 tommorow. I let you have a date with her if you show up!"

"Shut up! Your daughter was a two hundred pound woman!"

Glenn on the other hand heard them clearly while he was on his way out of the place. Hearing their cries, he couldn't help but smile and the feeling that he got was like a mixture of pride and fulfillment. Specially that little girl with puppy eyes he rescued. He got to admit, that type of kid so cute was his weakness and might be the cause of his downfall one day but who could resist such cute little thing.

On his way home, he couldn't help checking the system's quest.

'Huh? Wait a minute. Why 400 points when I saved only two kids'

Then he checked the quest information and pondered when he noticed the reward section of the task.
