Chapter 57 - 57

Elite camp, dining hall. Diner's time.

When Lucas found a chance to flirt with Alvida, an old man with a dog mask came here to see him personally, he was large and full of muscles and his face had a big grin.

Alvida who got a chance to have some romance was annoyed as well, However, after seeing who came here, she took a step back and didn't dare to say anything. This is the legendary marine and hero, Garp.

"Hey smelly brat, I have been waiting to see you " Garp approached Lucas, he was in a very good mood, because of the call he got from the east blue, he was able to stop his grandson from acting without using his mind.

After capturing Luffy and his crew, Garp until today is giving his grandson a lot of love fists starting from the time he captured him. Even though Luffy is almost hopeless and still yelling of becoming the pirate king, Garp won't give up and he would give his grandson a lot of love until he changes his mind.

After Garp threw Luffy to his warship in a jail that was made from sea stone. Garp went to Calorina who called him, Garp was wondering how did they know that Luffy was his grandson. However, this is east blue and some people already know this fact, besides, there would be some rumors. After a chat with Calorina, Garp found out that her cousin was the one who recognized Luffy and suggested the emergency call.

Garp felt he owe Lucas one favor because he managed to stop his grandson from taking a path where he would get himself killed sooner or later.

"You have a good nose, Did you eat Dog-Dog fruit "

The people in the dining hall couldn't swallow their food from the shock, their jaws we're opened to the max and some food was leaking outside. Some recruits with fast reaction-speed ran immediately and jumped out the hall through the windows.

Even Alvida was so shocked that her heart almost froze. Surely, Lucas is like she expected, he is the brave knight of her dreams, but being too brave is no good.

Feeling everyone's reaction, Lucas lifted his head to make eye contact. The people in one piece world are usually are very huge and tall, so it was logical that Lucas won't look to everyone's face.

But seeing who was here, Lucas frowned so hard. He knew that Garp would only call the people he likes by 'Brat', and also he gives them a lot of love fists. That reminded him by the time when he slept with some drug boss's daughter and he was caught in the act. Truly hard situation.

"hehe, I heard your name is Lucas, So Lucas kisses my fist " Garp kissed his fist and looked to Lucas not minding teaching this 15 years old teen a lesson using the tough love.

"If you were only a girl then I would kiss you, so no thanks "Lucas forced a smile. He found himself in a weird situation.

He may bite harder than a dog if he was forced to the corner when there is nothing to lose. But when there is a lot to lose, he can't allow himself to act rashly and make the situation even worse and get himself kicked out of the navy and ruin all of his plans all along.

this is the only vice-admiral whose word is worth more than admiral himself in the navy. And he called him a dog

Lucas has yet to take the benefits he wants from the navy, he doesn't want to make trouble with superiors without having enough foundation. He doesn't even have an official rank. Let's not forget that he doesn't have that much strength.

Lucas found that he has three techniques in his arsenal. Joseph Joestar's secret technique, Iron mass which would gain him a lot of XP, which is a very good thing. And diplomacy.

"Vice-admiral, please don't take his words seriously, it hasn't been days since he joined so can you treat him as just a young brat" Alvida took a step forward and covered Lucas using her back.

Lucas's brows frowned a bit as Alvida covered the view from him. Even though he felt some warmth in his heart, she doesn't know his name and he doesn't know hers yet, so why is she standing up for him, he barely had few words with her and they have yet to be in a relationship.

Lucas felt he was somehow pissed off on himself. No matter what the situation he is in, there is no way he would allow a woman to stand in the danger in front of him while he is behind.

"Thanks, but you can move away" Lucas grabbed Alvida back from her clothes and she was easily pulled to back, however, Lucas was gentle and didn't use much strength when he grabbed her, that made her insides feel he is somehow s.e.xy, but also more worry.

"Wait, Do you understand the situation you are in" Alvida grabbed Lucas from his arms and bent down until her head was at this same level of his. Her a face full of wariness as she was trying to stop him for doing a thing that may get him kicked out the Navy. Also while they were in this pose, she found Lucas looked cute just like the last time. She wanted to try to steal a kiss.

"I am aware of my situation so let us talk later " Lucas frowned and resisted the urge to steal a kiss, seeing the pose he is in and the way she is looking to him, he felt like he is being treated like a kid. So he gently pulled himself back and stood in front Garp.

The situation in the dining hall was so intense, most of the people left their plates and jumped, while some still hide in the corners and under the tables to watch everything with focus.

"Brat, it seems you have some gut, I like it " Garp laughed weirdly. His intention to meet Lucas was to thank him at first, then after hearing some words from his Smelly mouth. He was just about to give Lucas some tough love. But then Lucas spoke.

"How is Luffy doing, I haven't seen him since that day"

Garp stopped his fist before it hits Lucas's head " Luffy? You really know my grandson, were you the one behind that call".

Lucas started to lie and spoke with a low voice that would make it hard for everyone in the hall to listen "Well yes, As for how I know Luffy, there is a story behind it, once when I was after some pirates, I saw a young teen with a straw hat sinking in the sea and it seemed that he didn't know how to swim, so I saved him. After a while he started to breathe again and, he was sleep talking"

"Sleep talking " Garp may not be too smart to see through Lucas's poker face.

Lucas was a member of the underground world as a delivery, he worked with the mafia, weapons companies, and anything that has illegal transfers. And also a womanizer.

And as anyone with such job, Lucas mastered the art of lying, whenever police shows up, some times police interrogate him and sometimes the court would summon him to witness against some of his clients, but he wasn't a rat, and he was a good liar that he can even fake his own body language.

"Yes, Yes, he said something like, Grandpa Garp why does your fist hurt and if you have a dog nose, I didn't want to wake him up so I just placed him in some safe place and left, after that, I learned from my cousin that Garp was the name of the Legendary hero, that's why when he asked me to join and become a part of his pirate crew I decided to call you, " Lucas said with more relaxed tone, things are getting better for him.

' Heh. Guess that bullshiting is my strongest innate skill after all'

Garp suddenly felt like he owns Lucas more for saving his grandson, however when he heard that Luffy was the one who spread the idea of Dog Dog fruit. He decided to make sure that Luffy would get a lot of punches.

"Gwahahaha, He is a troublesome young man, thanks for saving him, and this to express my love " Garp laughed with a happy face, then suddenly, his huge fist descended on Lucas's head from happiness.

Lucas's body reacted quickly and he activated « Iron mass». Garp seeing Lucas's reaction, he increased his strength a bit to surpass the defenses.

*Sound of a metal clash *

[Iron mass +20.000 XP (double XP) ]

[Ding, Iron mass up to level 8.]

[Ding, Iron mass skill can be used now while moving]

Iron mass usually would require the user to take a fixed pose to harden the muscles, but at the same time, it can't be used when moving or attacking.

But with that sudden level up, not only Lucas's iron mass became harder and more solid, but also, Lucas would be able to use it when moving.

Compared to Haki that usually would be used on a few parts of the body for more effects and dense. Iron shell could be used on the whole body, which can make Lucas's defenses now very strong.

Seeing Garp's action. The recruits all went out of the restaurant while giving Lucas a pitying look.

"Ouch "Lucas felt his head hurt and couldn't help but put his hand on his head. he didn't expect that Garp's fist of love surely is painful.

"sure, If this is your definition of love " Feeling such pain, Lucas was a bit angry, and like any human, he would need to venter this feeling. And since Garp thing he owes him, Lucas was sure that he won't get kicked out of the navy.

"Gwahaha seems that you started to master the iron mass, Calorina didn't lie about your talent " Garp laughed. He was treating Lucas as a kid. Well, both of his grandsons always wanted to become pirates so Garp always wished to see young promising marine.

Lucas jumped slightly in the air until his head was on Garp's chest level. Since things came this far, then Time to XP. Lucas's fists turned to tents of fists' images. «Two hundred crack fist». For each second, Lucas is able to punch 70 times in a second. and each punch has the strength of a bullet Jab.

Garp saw this and smiled, he opened his chest and took some punches, Garp found that he could feel some pain from each punch, even if the damage was a little, but with so many punches, the damage would grow ' Each punch actually can kill do a serious damage to anyone in captain level if it was aimed properly to the head, hehe, I will train him later '

[Ding Boxing up to level 13 (0/300.000)]

[Boxing, + Sub Skill :

Upgraded feather footwork: the ability to make five afterimages while dodging.

+Prince uppercut: uppercut that acc.u.mulates the force from three mass and energy focused uppercut. Unleashing threefold strength

+Prince hook: the same as the prince straight and uppercut, but it's hook ]

[Boxing +10.000 XP]

[ Boxing +10.000 XP]

.

Boxing skills gained more than 200.000 XP. Lucas wasn't that serious either as he didn't grab his sword or boost his strength three times or use some secrete skills, he just wanted to punch this old man so he can sleep well, besides he knows that Garp won't take this personally.

"BRAT, your love is lacking" while Lucas is still punching, Garp lifted his fist and punched Lucas on the forehead sanding him to the ground.

[Ding, Iron mass up to level 10 (10.000/50.000)]

[Iron mass can be used now as a passive ability without concentration so much]

[Ding, Auto Cultivation function is opened for skill: Iron mass]

Lucas read the notification while he found himself being buried in the ground. The words from the screen were mixed up in his view since he got dizzy.

Deep inside, he wondered how the original wielder of the system could take all of the torture to level up his body with a smile and actually enjoy it. Lucas only got two punches and he doesn't want to take the third one.

"Hehe, you have a good physical body, guess while I'm here I can be responsible for your training Smelly brat" Garp grinned before turning to leave.

Lucas's mind became clear again and he got off from the ground, he wanted to jump again on Garp, but hearing the training thing, Lucas stopped. This man is someone who is in the peak in one piece world when it comes to power levels. Some say that his strength is close enough to the strength of the previous pirate king but he never showed his strength in the show for family matters. And he can get Haki from him.

But what Lucas saw was, [ Golden premium XP Farm].

Being able to train with Garp is the same when you play an RPG game and convince someone with lvl 200 to bring you to high leveled map and help you level up.

"Sure, but do I have to wake up at 04:00," Lucas said as he was hitting the dust out of his body. He can suppress his fighting spirit for such a good XP farm and Haki expert.

"as expected from young marine, but no. I'll pass by you later, and don't stall in your training " Garp turned to leave and started to walk "Now I have to give my grandson a lesson about Love "

"Are you okay " Alvida quickly approached Lucas, she wrapped her hand around his head and grabbed it to her chest. Then she used her hand to rub against his head, she wanted to make use of her devil fruit power and ease his pain. (Smooth-Smooth fruit, or slide-slide fruit in other translation)

"Ah" Lucas m.o.a.ned softly as the pain from his own forehead was vanishing and being replaced by some good feeling. Alvida's hand is the smoothest thing he got in touch with it, it was so smooth that it made him forget the pain.

Lucas thought since her hand alone is this smooth, then how about the rest

"Thanks, but why are you acting like this around someone you don't know, " Lucas said, he wanted to get to enjoy her touch more, but he wanted to know. After all, giving her beauty, she would be covered by men all the time, so, it's weird that she is giving him such special care.

"Don't you… do that as well" Alvida's cheeks turned a bit red as she remembered the time she fought with him and how he treated her in a very gentle way. Her heart would feel warm and a bit of anger each time she remembers that.

"Heh, but since when I have done that " Lucas chuckled, it wasn't a long time since he arrived here, and since he was only focused on his training, He didn't get the chance to flirt with anyone yet.

In this camp, there are some pretty female soldiers, some of them already threw some signals to him and some girl already teased him when she saw his chest n.a.k.e.d. So Lucas was thinking about relaxing at the weekend, but he didn't take the imitative on anyone yet, so why is this angle saying that.

"Well. Try to remember " Alvida pulled her hand back as her eyebrows bent down.

Lucas started to remember, as long as he remembers, he only did that before coming to the camp, the girls he did that within order were, Lilia, Calorina. And.

Suddenly, an image of a huge BBW with a very big body flashed in his mind, she was holding the same weapon as the woman in front of him.

'Oh my Supreme Being, I totally forgot about Alvida ' Lucas's face almost turned yellow. Then green, then blue. Thinking about Alvida made his face's colors change like a rainbow.
