Chapter 70 - 70

Lucas was assigned to work in the first half of the grand line, temporarily, before moving to the second part of the grand line. This decision was made by a vice-admiral since Lucas is still young and needs to have experience before playing with the big shots of this world. The HQ wanted to teach him leading before moving him to the new world.

Lucas was satisfied since he would work in the first half of the grand line. First, it went along with his plan which he has yet to finish making. Second, if he started in the second half of the grand line, then Lucas would have to work under a rear or vice admiral which would bind his freedom and authority, and he would have to do a lot and get a little credit, even though he won't mind if it was a pretty vice admiral. But, here, in the first half, paradise, he is the master of his sail

As a commodore, Lucas was allowed to have two warsh.i.p.s under him with one captain as his second assistant.

After bidding a small goodbye with Alvida and awakening her potentials, Alvida started to train harder to master Haki as fast as she can before coming to join Lucas, but he said that she doesn't need to rush as he would visit her during the holidays.

After that, he called his cousin in East blue and asked her, in her way to pass by Logue Town, where he left his pet and tell it to come here, and it can help her to move, It may sound bizarre, but in one piece world, somehow, all the animals understand the languages of the human and other animal tribes.

*Pff* *Pff*

Lucas now was kicking the air while flying toward a specific direction. He held a unique compass that wad guiding him to his new workplace.

His new outfit was a simple black pant, white shirt an opened black jacket, on his back, there was his marine cape that proves his position as a commodore.

"and this should be my ship" Lucas, from the sky, looked down to see two warsh.i.p.s above the water, they were close to the land which should be the base, above the ship, many are standing, seems they are waiting for him here.

Down there, on one of the sh.i.p.s. Many soldiers with the usual marine outfit were waiting while standing. Today, they would be working under a commodore that came from the HQ. All of them know about it since all of the soldiers here are considered part of the elite units.

While waiting, they started to talk to pass a few times.

"I wonder how does he look like"

"my mom work in the HQ, she told me he got commodore rank straight after passing his test"

"Wait, commodore isn't that the 5th highest rank. Just how can he get it directly after graduation"

"I heard he is a scary-looking man with a height of 4 meters, also have strong devil fruit...."

And so, rumors started to spread, most of the people were making up the rumors despite not hearing it in the first place. After a small period, someone pointed to the sky, there was a silhouette flying toward them.

most of them were calm and not shocked. The moonwalk wasn't unknown technique between, beside, any bizarre thing can be explained by Devil fruit sentence, this isn't the east blue.

The silhouette blurred as it headed to their ship, the next second, on the surface of the ship, appeared a blond man with a height of 180 cm, sky blue eyes, well-shaped face well-built body but not buffed, his outfit was black and white with a cape that confirms his identity as commodore, but he looked too young, at best he can be 17 years old, how can he be the new rumored commodore.

Everyone looked at him with weird gazes trying to process what is going here, they can't relate him to the rumors, but his coat which is his cape is presenting the 5th highest rank in the navy.

Lucas found himself in a weird situation, this is the first time he is leading a bunch of soldiers and they are giving him an unexpected atmosphere. Lucas's eyes became sharp as he gazed at everyone around. This is a total disrespect, where is their military salute.

*footsteps * Lucas walked forward while having his arms behind him, he continued walking until he stopped in front the one with the laziest stance. Lucas let his eyes get close to his, the other man avoided eye-contact and turned his head. then Lucas looked to the rest.

"What kind of discipline is this" Lucas started to walk, he always wanted to feel what is it like to scold the soldiers.

The marines clenched their teeth. Lucas continued: "And you call yourself elites, you aren't even qualified to babysit kids let alone catching pirates and protecting citizen. Someone tell me, am I on the wrong ship".

"Commodore." someone who believed that Lucas is just too young to speak let his mouth move

"Did I allow you to talk?" Lucas said as he glared at him.

" Sir, you should treat your soldiers with more.."

*pew*.

Lucas pointed his finger at him and shot a compressed wind bullet that cut his cheek. Seeing that, the soldier was full of fear, the others were scared as well seeing the faint smoke leaving Lucas's index. Lucas then vanished and appeared in front of him "Tell me, Do you think your self in a position that allows you to talk, do you believe that I won't kick you out the ship"

The soldier was caught off guard, it seems this new leader isn't amicable and he wouldn't hesitate to use violence to deal with them. "No".

"No what?" Lucas's gaze became sharper.

"No sir".

Lucas turned to the rest who shown an ugly expression on their faces, but they kept shut since they had to obey their superiors, which happened to have the 5th highest rank in the navy.

Lucas put one arm behind his back and extended his left hand. "If you think that you are worthy, then you can try to attack me, anyone who can force me to use my right hand than he would get a promotion"

"Don't worry, no one would get punished, and you can attack at once if you like "

Hearing his declaration, the other soldiers looked to each other, they know that he should be strong, but not to the degree that allows him to fight with one hand. As long they make him use his other hand then they would get promoted and break their commodore arrogance, some of the marines here were officers and commanders for a long time, so promotion promise, would be always be considered.

Lucas see the hesitation in their eyes, he closed his eyes "Are you afraid, here, I closed my eyes"

And so, they dashed at him.

Five minutes later.

All of the crew on this ship were standing in straight lines, all of them were doing the formal salute while trying their best to avoid a direct eye-contact with Lucas. all of them had a red mark on their cheeks that were the result of them trying to attack him. When they thought themselves capable and dashed, all of what they got was one hell painful slap.

"Now since we made everything clear, I'll introduce my self for once, I'm your commodore, Lucas, and I don't like your earlier attitude," Lucas went to some chair and sat while crossing his leg, he took a cigarette and lit it up.

"Yes sir," all of the 30 marines said with one voice.

"Now do three thousand push-ups, anyone who gets lazy, then you understand what I can do"

"Yes, sir".

All of them said and went down to do push-ups. After some time, Lucas felt bored seeing his soldiers sweaty, so he stood up and turned to leave to see the other ship. As a commodore, Lucas is responsible for two sh.i.p.s with one captain under him. Lucas has to see his captain before going to his cabin.

the two sh.i.p.s were linked, as Lucas was going there, a woman came from the other ship, she was wearing Captain's coat which made it obvious that she is the second of leading this unit. She saw Lucas and walked toward him with a cold expression on her face.

Lucas saw her and narrowed his eyebrow, for an earthling, those colors were rare and extremely beautiful.

she was tall and slim, around 181 cm, her skin was snow white, her face was pretty and in perfect shape with red lips and thin eyebrows, she had a couple of Dark purple eyes with straight waist-length light-pink hair. Those colors of her gave her a unique kind of beauty. Her body was s.e.xy and her curves gave a unique charm, her waist was thin that made her body hourglass type, as for her thighs, they were full but covered by long pants. She wore a burgundy-purple two-piece suit over a white blouse.

Her suit was opened up a bit forcefully as it couldn't contain her perky b.r.e.a.s.ts, maybe 38 G-cup, Lucas wondered. Her pale chest was the biggest Lucas saw so far, with each step she takes, her b.r.e.a.s.ts would make motion where they go up and down. Any straight man would have his heart jump seeing those two.

"are you the commodore" Hina approached Lucas and asked. It was kind of hard to believe that he is the new commodore that came from the HQ but seeing a bunch of men behind him doing push-ups as their life in the line, she was convinced a bit.

"Yes, and you are?" since she was tall and wearing heels already, Lucas found it easier to look down to her chest than looking to her face. Even the guys behind him stopped doing push-ups, their faces showed some slight redness.

"Hina is the Captain who would work with you," Hina said while looking to the men behind him, she felt some gaze on her chest so she turned to look at him, but then, he was making direct eye contact.

"Hina?" Lucas thought, he gave her a closer look, well, she looks better than he expected, but her eyes shown coldness.

"Hina is me" Hina likes to address her self by her name.

"Lucas feels nice to meet you, Lucas would work with you from now and on" Lucas turned and looked to the guys who stopped doing push-ups, after seeing his gaze they continued doing push-ups.

"Hina doesn't like someone to make fun of her" Hina frowned seeing Lucas copying her way of talking, Hina doesn't like the fact that someone this young is this daring.

'Looking too nice but acting too cold'

Lucas continued to walk while trying to hold his laugh "you don't have the copyrights for that, anyway, tell me what I have here" Lucas looked around his sh.i.p.s. He needs to get a clear report to know what he is supposed to do.

Hina went to a near table and brought a map, then she opened it and started to touch some locations with her finger. "those locations are our territory, our job is to get reports from here and protect this area from pirates"

"I see" Lucas nodded, the area he got under his responsibly is quite wide, there are few countries and some islands, he wasn't only responsible for the lands, but mainly the sea, then he looked carefully to the map and smirked.

'Perfect, this country is in my domain would make things easier'

Hina looked to his smirk and didn't know what he is thinking of, not only her but everyone saw it, he must be up to no good

"Anyway, I'll be in my office, pass me a copy of the World government laws and the reports we get. Oh, and don't bother me unless there is something important " Lucas cracked his back and took another cigarette and put it in his mouth.

"Hina was about to say the same" She also didn't want to be bothered.

"Hope things go well" Lucas was about to extend his hand to shake Hina's hand, but then his observation Haki showed him the near future, the moment he tried to squeeze her hand, his hand suddenly got caged which was a little bit painful. Lucas decided not to touch her hand, it seems she has self-defense ability.

After seeing Lucas left, the men who were doing push-ups stopped and breathed in relief.

...

The night, Lucas was sitting in his office while holding a book that contains the laws of world governments, which are meant for the marines to obey.

Lucas was trying to make a plan for his promotion. He was flipping the pages while reading the part that talks about 'Warlords'.
