Chapter 40 - 39

Inside a restaurant with a couple of broken tables and chairs. There was a fish-man lying down on the ground with a spoon inside his eye, obviously, he was dead. On the other side lied down another unconscious fishman with a couple of broken bones, he was still alive for a purpose that no one but the blondie knows.

Lucas took some green papers and put them on a table that didn't get a break, it was the money to fix this restaurant. Then he walked out the door. The people made him a way to get out. All of them gave him a look of shock and admiration, no one knows better than themselves how much they wished this to happens.

Lucas didn't bother with the people's eyes, he already made a plan for his next steps.

Why plan? It may sound cool to not plan and attack directly as a one-man army. But in Lucas's life, he learned the only and one lesson.

' Wishful thinking would only lead to disappointment '.

As Lucas was heading out, someone suddenly grabbed his collar and said with feminine voice " Wait for a second, you must hide"

Lucas at first was going to slap that hand since he doesn't like to be grabbed from his collar, but hearing the feminine voice, he turned and didn't overreact:" excuse me, Do I l know you "

In front of him, stood a tanned woman with a height of 170 cm, her body was an hourglass type, she had large b.r.e.a.s.ts that have a heart tattoo above them and a curvy waist. Her hair was light blue. For some reason, Lucas can think that he saw her, but at the same time, he didn't. Well, here, most of the characters don't look exactly like the manga since the people here are living in 4-dimensional space and don't look like 2d characters.

"You don't, but do you know what have you done," The girl asked Lucas.

"I killed a fish " Lucas relaxed his shoulders and examined her from head to two. Beautiful face with an elegant nose, dark blue eyes with pink lipstick, and also a s.e.xy hourglass body with large b.r.e.a.s.ts. Too bad, this is the wrong time to make a move.

The girl glared at him as she saw him checking her body, she didn't actually mind it, it was only a quick look. She examined him as well, he looked too handsome and so young with good body, 15-16 years old, or a bit older. But this is a serious time: "I guess you think there are only two of them. But I warn you, there is a whole bunch of them here with a giant sea monster. If you don't hide as soon as possible then they will come for you "

"Hey-hey, relax, you are talking too much," Lucas said as he put his hand on her shoulders. He already had some drama with Nami and he can't afford another one this quickly:" What is your name young lady "

The girl used her hands to take his hands off her shoulders, then she pinched his nose "first I'm older than you so don't address me by young lady, second, It's rude to tell someone that she is talking too much when is trying to save your life and third. And third.. My name is Nojiko"

Lucas took her hand off his nose, by her name, she is supposed to be Nami's older sister, he took a wanted poster from his pocket " sigh, no wonder you have a hard temper, anyway, thanks for the warning, but I know this all"

"You are a bounty hunter? " Nojiko said after she saw that he has wanted posters. So her warning is useless since it was obvious that he is here for Arlong himself.

"Yes, Lucas Fernando by the way "Lucas replied as he took her hand and gave it a kiss. The kiss left a very strange feeling, even though it was on the hand, it made her feel that her whole body becoming sensitive and feeling good. It was a blessing that her skin was tanned and covered her blush.

Nojiko took a deep breath and sighed, she put her hand on his cheek and looked directly to his blue eyes, this is the last attempt she would try to convince him not to throw his life away "Nice to meet you, but, what a waste, You are just too handsome and young to die"

Lucas turned to the other side and started waking "Thanks for the compliment "

"you missed the point " Nojiko sighed, It seems that in order to stop him, she has to hit the back of his head with some bottle.

"Anyway, Say hi to Nami for me" Lucas turned his head.

"wait, how do you know my sister " Nojiko heard him and asked.

"well, let's say that she dated me and then she threw me to the sea" Lucas sighed and continued walking forward. He is too busy now to start flirting with his girlfriend's sister.

Nojiko seemed to be shocked by his statement, Nami shouldn't know what dating boys is let alone date one than throwing him, maybe not. "Hey, my sister isn't that type "

"Whatever, I have advice, Tell her to take the money she buried under the ground as soon as possible because Arlong would send someone to take it" Lucas waved his hand before vanishing to the thin air. He didn't really care about that money, but he wanted to avoid that scene where the girl takes a bullet in her sister's place.

Nojiko heard his warning and got afraid, she didn't even bother how he vanished. Would Arlong really try to break his promise with her sister and send someone to take the money, well, that sound very much like Arlong? She turned and ran as fast as she can to her sister's house.

"Okay, the second part of my plan, let's kidnap the rest of the fishes "Lucas appeared somewhere else. He was in another village that has some fishmen patrolling.

Lucas would at first kidnap all of the fishmen around the 20 villages and take them alive.

this may look like a stupid step, catching the enemy alive while he should kill them all. However, this is only true in the case of an honest man who fights against his enemies using strength and his heart and doesn't have a mind to use.

But Lucas is a dishonest man, he likes to reap the benefits to the max, and from a dishonest man, you can expect anything, even the unexpected the things he would do even if they are out of the expected and not understandable, he always keeps looking to the bigger picture.

And so, Lucas used his stealth footwork and ran around the island. From 20 villages, there are only 19 left since one was annihilated. In those 19 villages, and in two hours Lucas found 15 fishman, he knocked them out then he stored them.

"Okay, part three" Lucas thought as he cracked some bones. The part three of his plan is where he would disturb the fishmen in the park and take them one by one and take them away from the pool that is connected to the sea, the last thing he wants is the strong fishmen enter that pool.

Lucas again vanished as he ran to the village where Arlong is located. As he appeared there, he changed his clothes and put a hat that covers his face.

Inside the restaurant.

The fishman that was originally knocked out woke up. He stood up with hard and touched his chest that has some broken bones. He suddenly remembered what happened and went directly to his friend that was killed by a spoon." Damn those lowly humans".

He quickly ran to Arlong park so he can report the incident that happened, as he ran, he didn't even notice Lucas who was covering his face with a hat.

The Fishman quickly reached Arlong and reported everything, the fishmen and Arlong were so angry, who the human that dares to do that. But as Arlong thought of his man's words, blond with blue eyes and he isn't from the villages.

"He must be the new bounty hunter, Lucas Fernando, " Arlong thought as he stood up:" FISHMEN, COME, WE SHALL KILL THAT LOWLY HUMAN, HOW DARE HE KILL A HIGH CREATURE SUCH FISHMAN "

His men nodded and followed Arlong, today, they are going to execute this human. The fishmen got out of the park and walked into the village. In front, Stood Arlong and his three officers that had high power even for fishmen, behind them followed the rest of 30 fishman.

As they were walking, all the villagers stood in the side fearing those monsters. As Arlong was walking, he found a quite big wooden house in his way. Arlong simply hugged that house and lifted it from the ground then he threw it away like it wasn't that heavy. The fishmen continued waking behind him and feeling proud of their strength.

"Mister Arlong. Look" someone pointed with his finger. As the rest of the fishmen saw what their, all of them flew to rage. What was there is a dead fishman with a spoon in his eyes? Next to his chest, there was a letter. Some Fishman went and grabbed that letter to their leader.

[Arlong, I want to say that your fishes are surely tasted bad, but after using red wine and some salty rice, they make wonderful sushi. Kidding, your race's ugly look alone makes me lose appetite.

If you are a man enough, then come to western rice farms, but if you aren't, then I understand, you are a fish]

Arlong read the letter and flew to a new level of anger, he would kill him slowly and painfully. Arlong lifted his fist and slammed the ground, it made cracks spread all over.

"Go, I will kill him personally," Arlong said as he walked forward, some man tried to make him think if this is a trap, but Arlong didn't listen.

Behind the fishmen, the blondie with hat smiled:" And the fishes are far from the sea now "

And so, Arlong and his men with scary faces walked to the rice farms. All of them wanted to kill that human. Their rage made it hard for them to notice that someone is walking with stealth footwork next to them.

20 minutes later, the huge fishmen finally reached the rice farm. Arlong with his officers saw a blond youth standing alone there, he was blond with blue eyes and having a Black sword hanged on his waist.

"Hey, you. Are you the one who sent the letter" a Fishman with thick lips said.

" No " Lucas lifted both of his arms playing innocent.

Of course, the fishmen didn't buy it:" Lowly human, you are lying ".

Lucas made a shocked face:" wow, you are too smart for a fish, this is new"

The fishmen got triggered again, the one with six arms:" Humans, We will make you pay for what you did to our friends "

"Oh really, you and what army" Lucas this time made a smug face.

Arlong and his officers felt something weird, they turned their heads to see that they are alone. Did their friends run away?
