Chapter 53

(volume 2)

East blue. Logue Town.

After spending a peaceful night in the hotel. Lucas woke up in the early morning. He lifted his back and touched his head, he was felt light and his body was so relaxed. " Right, marine thing is today ". Lucas got up from his bed, he was n.a.k.e.d so he wore his clothes, a tight black shirt that showed his arms and traces of his abs, and golden pants. And of course, Lucas wore sunglasses.

Behind Lucas, on the bed, there was a crimson-haired woman with white pale made skin, beautiful face with red lips and a long curly falling hair, she had a curvy body with middle-sized b.r.e.a.s.ts and large thighs. She looked to be in her 35-40 years old. While sleeping, she had a large smile on her beautiful face. Apparently, she is working here and was the wife of the owner. One of her hobbies is to go after handsome young boys, and Last night, she was after the new handsome young boy who visited this hotel who is famous in east blue. She had her eyes on him and unexpectedly, last night s.e.x was the best thing she had, she even became linked to his D and decided not to give her husband any action anymore.

Lucas seemed to remember something, she didn't eat any pill and he didn't wear a condom. Lucas took some stacks of berries, near 7 million and put it on the table. "Just in case if she got pregnant. I'll check her if I came back. But she is good, maybe one day I'll do it again with her ".

Lucas then left the hotel and headed toward the marine base in the center of the town. Lucas met smoker and exchanged a few words. Smoker gave him a token and said that Lucas would need it in the main HQ. After that Smoker arranged his ship for Lucas to cross the calm belt. And from there Lucas would be taken to the headquarter, Marin ford. After some hour, Lucas went to Smoker's warship and lied down on his back. The trip would take a long time.

"Hey, Long time no see" some girl with hourglass body, the height of 170 cm. short dark blue hair and hourglass body approached Lucas.

Fortunately, to Lucas, it won't be a boring trip. Apparently. There is a promise he has to fulfill. One month ago, when he talked about swordsmanship with a woman, he promised her to spar with her. "Hey Tashigi "

Like any normal people, they exchanged a few words, Tashigi was excited to talk about swords and swordsmanship. To Lucas, even though he didn't pay attention to the details about the history of swordsmanship she is talking about, he kept looking at her and thought she is cute, especially when they have direct eye contact and she blushes and looks away.

Finally, Tashigi kept checking Lucas's two sharp-edged swords and asked to have a spar with him like they agreed one day.

Unlike when he was with Zoro, Lucas agreed with a smile and took his sword with a stance. Tashigi also took her stance and took her katana from the green sheath. And so they had their spar, Lucas messed with her a bit while Tashigi fought with all of she can.

Lucas occasionally would dodge her attacks and pock her slightly with the back of his sword. Eventually, Tashigi became frustrated, he would give her pointers while messing with her which would calm her down and take notes.

"Your pose is wrong here " While giving pointers, Lucas would become more daring When he stop Tashigi to correct her pose. His hands would hold her waist, adjust her legs pose while touching her ass and arms. And Tashigi would blush so hard, but Lucas is actually helping her so she can't help but to endure and m.o.a.n softly when a wave hit. And so Lucas kept messing with her until she got tired, and spent the rest of the time just occasionally chatting.

However, Smoker somehow would order the soldiers to attack the Pirates he finds in the way so the trip wasn't just romantic.

Finally, after two days. Lucas passed by the calm belt and landed on another marine base.

Smoker explained the situation to the new base and Lucas showed his token, and so, after an hour Lucas would take a ship that would go to the marine HQ. Marine ford.

When Lucas was about to go to the other ship, Tashigi came to say goodbye to him.

Standing next to the ship. Tashigi called Lucas " Lucas, thank you, I will become stronger and win you one day "

"Sure, I believe in you " Lucas looked to her eyes and smiled. Tashigi blushed a bit, she got her face closer to Lucas 's side, and she kissed him on the cheek. Tashigi blushed harder and turned away and ran.

Lucas put his hand on his cheek as he didn't expect this "*Sigh*, one the cheek, TASHIGI. NEXT TIME, LIPS " Lucas chuckled then he jumped to the other warship ready to go. Tashigi heard his voice and pretended that she didn't hear him, but the redness on the face became stronger.

And so, the second trip to Marine Ford has officially started.

In his mind, Lucas never thought that he would arrive at the grand line this easy (after crossing the calm belt, one is officially in the grand line). During the days of his travel, Lucas noticed that the grand line is quite bizarre, the weather isn't stable. From time to time, he can see some huge sea monsters pop out of the water, even in the land there are some big beasts. Also, normal compasses here are useless, in order to travel, one must have a custom made compass that points to islands or a specific island.

Lucas continued to see all of this during his trip which made those days non-boring for him.

On the fifth day, Lucas finally arrived at his destination. Marine Ford.

Lucas was standing on the sail of the warship looking to the island in front of him. Marineford, the main base of all the Navy headquarters and bases across the world of one piece.

Marineford is a crescent moon-shaped island that is composed completely of bricks and steel, with cannons on the edge. Surrounding it there are tens of huge warsh.i.p.s. On this island, all of the marines here are elite.

And here, live the admirals, the fleet admirals and the low officers that have yet to work on other bases.

The island was full of buildings and houses, mostly, it was the city that the families of the marines here live at.

At the back of the island, standing large, tall and proud is the Marine Headquarters building. The building is a large multistory ancient Japanese-stylized palace, with the base bearing the word "Marines".

'It's more amazing than I thought ' Lucas's eyes behind the dark sunglass kept scanning the surrounding. The ship he was at finally parked somewhere and Lucas landed with some officer.

Lucas went to the gates and handed the token he got from smoker.

"I see, newbie " the one who got the token was some petty officer with a height of 2.9 meters. Lucas kept just looking up to get a clear look, then he ignored the man:" Just hurry up "

"fine, follow me" The petty officer didn't look happy, but he has to do his job and have to take Lucas to register.

For Lucas, this is the first time he makes his steps in the grand line. Lucas was passing by the city. Occasionally he could see some marines around.

'Why everybody is huge, like way huge ' Lucas thought while looking, most of the people around were like very huge. It was common to see people taller than 2 meters, even for women. Some times, more than three meters. Lucas could see some masked swordsman who was bigger than 4 meters. But there were some people who could be good normal for the earth's standard.

"Brother, One question " Lucas turned to the petty officer who was huge as well.

"Why everyone is big here, " Lucas asked. He could understand in the manga and in the anime that the animators are lazy, but they overdo it. He could see some giant people from far that were above 15 meters, but those can be an exception since they belong to the giants' race.

"I don't know, things are just like that "The marine guy shook his head not knowing the answer. People from the surrounding seas are normal but in the grand line, things change.

"Whatever, guess it's on Oda" Lucas shook his head.

"who is Oda"

" Nothing "

Then Lucas entered the recruits' office and he registered his name to join the camp. But surprisingly, Lucas found that he was marked on the waiting list, so he didn't need to take some tests other than confirming his identity.
