Chapter 31 - 31

"Let's see, according to this map I should take this direction"

The Day was sunny when Lucas left the Syrup village, now he is on a boat to roam the east blue. Lucas has set the direction of his sail and let the slight winds move him, he was quite happy by how the things are going, how the weather is beautiful, it gave him the vibes that he is walking in a safe journey.

"What a tasty meal" sitting in the cabin, Lucas was enjoying the taste of the meat he made from a sea monster.

Suddenly, Lucas felt that the light is getting darker, some water droplets were falling on his head, he lifted his head to see dark clouds forming and covering the sun.

"Oh f.u.c.k" Lucas cursed, why did he take a small boat and not a huge ship, why did he think that it was not necessary to take a big ship for himself because he was alone and it is hard to manage it alone. Why did he even trust the sun and that clear sky was it just because he never saw this happen in the manga in the east blue saga?

*Thunder* Suddenly the winds started getting faster and faster, the thunder sound filled the air and lightning bolts were dancing between the dark clouds.

"This isn't going to end like the titanic movie" The waves of the sea were getting bigger and bigger, each wave was at the height of buildings.

Lucas took his sword and looked to a wave that was coming toward his direction, it was ten meters high and it is about to sink him with his boat.

Lucas hardly kept his balance as his boat was dancing between the colossal waves, he squatted and took a pose that to allows him to stab, after reaching level 9 in the swordsmanship, Lucas was able to control the wind blades and do techniques such bend it in the air or manipulate its shape.

«Itoryu: Wind tornado » Lucas stabbed the air with his sword while turning his wrist, from his sword flew several compressed wind blades and took the shape of a small tornado and hit the wave, it made a hole that allowed his boat to pass.

[Swordmanship +100 XP (13000/25000)]

But nature isn't going to let this end, as soon Lucas passed through that wave, he found that the boat is being lifted by another wave that is going yo clash with another wave, so he waved his sword again, and again and again.

"Damn it " this nightmare continued for 8 hours straight, Lucas had fought to his life during this hour, there was a time that he fell to the sea, but luckily he was able to get back, that made him thankful that he didn't eat a devil fruit.

In the morning, the rain and winds stopped, the sky turned blue again and the sea's water calmed down.

*Breathing heavy*

On the boat that became half-destroyed, Lucas stood while breathing heavily with wet clothes, he had been fighting the nature for hours no stop, and using all of this skills had drained him up, if it wasn't for his hard training and the skill adrenaline boost, he may have died.

" If I trained more back then, I wouldn't feel this tired now," Lucas said as he felt his arms numb.

However, it still good, it seems that training with the waves made him gain a good amount of XP [Swordmanship lvl 9 ( 20000/25000 )].

Lucas now was in the middle of the sea and he doesn't know where he is since there are no near islands and the waves took his compass and are distorted his map. But to his luck, he had another compass and map in his storage.

After one hour, 200 meters away, Lucas saw a big ship, at first Lucas was going to ask for a ride, but seeing the pirate flag, he decided to take it for himself. Leaving his half-destroyed boat, Lucas went swimming to that pirate ship, as soon as he reached it, he climbs it and landed on its deck.

The pirates were doing their stuff, some were playing, some were fighting between them, they didn't even notice Lucas who got into their ship.

"They don't look this strong" Lucas thought when he used the bounty eyes, he saw that the one with the highest bounty is 4 million berries. It doesn't matter, he is here for the ship and he won't make any unnecessary drama.

«stealth footwork (1010/25500)» Lucas vanished from the sight.

the pirates on the ship started getting cuts on their bodies that appeared from nowhere, without realizing how they all fell on the ground and lost consciousness from the blood loss.

*woosh*

From the thin air, Lucas appeared in the middle of the ship, he quickly stored the pirates with their blood inside his storage, since all of them were weak, they didn't give him that much Xp, only 1000 acc.u.mulated XP and 500 on his sword.

*Door open* on the ship, there was a small door on the deck got opened, from that door, and orange-haired beauty with brown eyes, curvy body, slender waist, and big b.r.e.a.s.ts got out, she was holding a huge bag on her bag, as the bag moved, it made slightly gold clashing sound.

She tried to walk as quietly as possible as she tried to leave this ship, however, there was something weird, as she walked, there was literally, not a single pirate: "did they jump to the water ".

Out of the curiosity, since there is no one, she decided to sneak and see what is happening, however, she saw someone foreign to the pirate crew, he was sitting in the middle of the deck while eating some cake.

" he looks familiar," the girl said as she saw his blond hair and blue eyes, she reached her pocket and retrieved a newspaper page, she looked to the picture and frowned:" It's him"

Lucas, who was recharging his energy by eating food, felt someone looking at him, so he lifted his head to see an orange-haired girl with brown eyes, she was pretty much familiar: "Nami".

"Lucas Fernando" Nami's eyes twisted a bit as she wanted to cry, that day when she met him for the first time, she stole an empty envelope, she lost the treasures that she risked her life to get.

"It has been a long time, how are you doing, " Lucas said as he smiled gently, he had been between the life and death not long ago, and now beauty in front of him, seems that storm was a blessing in discuss.

"I'm fine...what are you doing here " Nami's face got red, last time they met, he grabbed her buttcheeks and massaged them, as she escaped, it happened that his hands gave her v.a.g.i.n.a a burning feeling and got it wet, it made her spend days cursing him while playing with it.

"Nothing really, My ship got destroyed so I decided to take over this one, " Lucas said then he yawned and decided to tease her:" hey, why your face is turning red, are you blushing ".

" IM NOT BLUSHING, MY FACE IS NORMAL" Nami suddenly yelled, his teases angered her.

"How do you know, can you see your own face " Lucas replied with more teasing tone:" if you don't believe me, I can give you a mirror"

Nami's face got more red from embarrassment:" Hmph, I don't need it "

Lucas looked to the bag on her bag and smiled:" I see that you are stealing as always"

Nami's face regained its color "I'm not stealing, it belongs to the pirates so it is not owned by anyone ...hey wait, you stole from me the last time" Nami seemed to remember something, not only Lucas played with her ass, but he took things that don't belong to him.

"Did I?" Lucas said pretending ignorance.

"Hey, I risked my life for those jewels " Nami walked toward Lucas, she seems to have some grudge, not only he made her wet, but he also stole everything she hides under her clothes.

Lucas's face changed to a cold expression as he got up, seeing the cold look Nami froze, Lucas started walking toward her with a slow step which made her take some steps back, after all, she knows that he is strong to fight the Pirates alone, and if he gets angry things may turn bad for her.

"That reminds me, that day, you stole an envelope that belongs to me.." Lucas said.

"Shameless, it was an empty one, I was the one who lost the most" Nami stopped, she felt her pride as thief got shattered, not only so, he is blaming her for stealing.

"Shameless huh? That envelope contains a hidden cheque of a bank account that contains over 300 million berries, now tell me how I have to take from you to make us even " Lucas was laughing in his heart, however, his face showed a total seriousness.

"Th..thre... Three hundred million.." Nami heart almost stopped and her face turned red, did she throw something that contains that much money, one must know that she spent most of her life stealing from the pirates, pretending to be one of them and stab them in the back, all of this was to gain 100 million berries and free her village from the fishermen, but now, did she just throw 300 million berries.

"Hahaha, just kidding, You must see your own face" Lucas laughed so much, it was funny to tease Nami and see her beautiful face react like this.

"Damn you, You almost made my heart stop " tears were streaming on her cheek, she clenched her fist and slammed toward Lucas, but Lucas held her fist

"Calm down young lady," Lucas said with a teasing smirk and let his face.

Seeing his face closer to her, Nami blushed and took her face back:" I'm older than you"

"Anyway, aside from playing, I see that you are good in navigation since you seem going travel alone in the sea," Lucas said, if he remembers right, Nami was a genius in navigation, she was studying this occupation since she was very young so she can be considered a genius.

"And So what " Nami replied.

"Well, you would do me a favor if you can take me to this island," Lucas said as he took a map out of his pocket, he didn't want to admit that he is lost in the middle of the sea.

"So you are lost here" Nami chuckled hearing that.

"I'm not lost, I'm just too lazy to keep watching over the sea and the winds," Lucas said, he won't admit that no matter what.

"Anyway, I need you to take me to this island here," Lucas said as he opened the map.

"and what makes you think that I would help you," Nami said as she felt that she has something to take advantage of.

"maybe some couple of million berries would do, Well, if you don't want to then I..." Lucas said as he was pretending to take his offer back.

"let me see this island," Nami said as she took the map from Lucas's hand and gave it look.

'Gold digger' Lucas thought to himself.
