Chapter 89

Alabasta. The capital.

In front of the gates of Nefertari Royal family's palace, there is no guard to watch over the entryway. Such a scene would make anyone think this country is too peaceful that so royal family doesn't guard its gates.

This would be believable if not for the blood traces on the ground and gates. Someone has fought with the guards, defeated them, and blot out their bodies somewhere else.

Inside the palace. Two persons were walking in a foyer in one direction. The hall was straight and long, also a quite wide that it allows five people with intermediate size to walk.

The two persons who were passing were both tall. The man was 212cm tall with a shaved head, very muscular body and tanned skin, with black pants and opened vest.

Equally, for the woman, she was 187cm, with black heeled sandals, long black pants, F cup sized b.r.e.a.s.ts that were covered by Bikini. She had peach-coloured thick lips that seduce for kissing, pale flawless skin, dark curly hair that extends to her shoulder, and hourglass body with a thin waist which was hot. Her walking style was extremely seductive as it showed how s.e.xy her body was, and her dressing style added fire to the fuel.

"Mister 1, Do you think we should go straight to the king's room"

"Miss double finger, carry with the mission"

Picking up his answer, Miss Double finger puts her hand on her cheek while walking with her weird walking style. Mister 1 was serious.

"Ara~. Aren't you dead serious for such an easy mission, in my career, those are the easiest foes?"

Mister 1 didn't reply to his partner's teasing tone.

Those two were the strongest male and female agents in the Baroque works. With their fighting prowess and Devil Fruit powers, the royal guard has no luck against them.

They got their way with sturdy steps and relaxed faces. It felt like they were working on a picnic to pick up the king from his bed. This how easy it was for them.

"Now the two of you, hold on "

While they passed to another hall, the two of them heard a voice stopping them. They looked around to see no one. And since the lighting in the palace was strong, Mister 1 and Miss Double finger were able to view everything clearly.

"Ara~ aren't you good in hiding "Miss Doublefinger took two twisted steps forward, then she pointed with her finger toward one of the three pillars that support the current room. *Pew* Her finger turned into a long spike, the tip of her nail became more like a spearhead. Miss Doublefinger's slender finger extended with a high speed toward that pillar and pierced it like tofu.

On the other side of that pillar. Lucas who was supporting his back on the pillar moved his head a bit to the left. His head's original's spot was crossed by a sharp spike that eventually went back to its place.

Miss Doublefinger and mister one were looking at that spot. The person hiding there decided to stop hiding and facing them, as they saw him walking to the middle of the room. He was a man in black clothes, a black cape, and a black rapier. As for his face, it was covered by a bandana that had holes to show his blue eyes, as for his hat, it covered his most of his smooth blond hair.

The two Baroque agents didn't question his identity. Instead, their eyes turned sharp.

"Miss Doublefinger. He matches the description of Miss Goldenweek"

"Yes. No mistake. He should be the one who saved Vivi and killed our agents"

Both of them recognized Lucas as the enemy of their organization who made their boss's first plan fail. Also, he was the one who killed 3 agents with 10 armed men. According to Miss Goldenweek, this guy was, either too fast or have some Devil Fruit that allows him to teleport. And also, he is very good with swords. And the thing he left behind him was the Z mark.

Lucas frowned checking the two, he examined mister 1 who looked very calm and very confident that he can kill him.

Then he looked to his partner, from toe to head. She was putting her hands on her waist and standing in a pose that shows her seductive curves. Not only so, but her upper part was only covered by a bikini. 'Not bad'. Then he lifted his eyes to look to her face, green eyes, full cheeks, thick lips, and curly hair

'and this, according to my eyes, her name should be Zala…She is hot. Damn it, hitting such a piece of creative art would leave a bad taste for me to hurt such beauty.' Lucas let a long sigh, then he looked to the ground thinking. It's against his principals to hit beautiful ladies and ruining them.

'Ah, right, I don't need to hit her to defeat her anyway' Lucas let a little chuckle as he reached an evil Idea.

"Ara~, Done checking me, big boy" Miss Doublefinger said after seeing Zorro looking to the ground. She thought he was embarrassed after looking to her body.

To make things more embarrassing, she teased him with her words. She didn't blush or feel any embarrassment. After all, she wasn't a high school girl that lacks self-confidence.

Lucas lifted his head and said with a serious tone:" you are too s.e.xy to be wasted. If the time was different then I would have asked you for a date. But since you are pleasant to the eye, I'll give you one chance to run away"

"To say such words, you are currently a poor child to think you have a chance " Reacting to his words, Miss Doublefinger put her hand on her left cheek. She faked a sad expression on her face.

"You had your chance, don't say I didn't warn you "Lucas didn't give her a second look. After tasting many very beautiful and hot women, and having someone like Alvida who was otherworldly beauty with smoothest body, skin, lips, Lucas's resistance to other women's charms became higher as his standards got higher. 'Yeah, like I would believe this'

"Enough wasting time "Mister one stepped forward. His priority is to finish their mission. The smutty talking between this Z mark guy and his partner would waste time. To a man of commitment like him, this wasn't acceptable.

Lucas, behind Zorro's mask, glanced at Mister one and smirked. Mister One's arms suddenly changed; the corners of his arms became a sharp silver blade. Mister 1 was very confident that no sword user can defeat him or have a chance against him, since, not only his power allows him to turn every part of his body into blades, but also, it makes him hard as steel, making him have both extreme offence and defence.

That would be a nightmare to any swordsman who is below the Master level. Unfortunately for Mr.1, his foe is in the grandmaster level. Not only so, but his iron mass body technique level 14 would make it hard even for a normal swords master to cut him.

"Your name is Daz Bonez. Let me ask you Daz Bonez, how old are you." Lucas asked he knew his name through bounty eyes. But even though Mr.1 looked huge and very muscular, his skin was of a young person.

"what that has to do with you " Mister one stopped his step seeing this guy knowing his name.

"I was wondering why such a young person like you would hurry his death, "Lucas said provoking Mister one, who didn't look that young. But in fact, he was only 29 years old.

"Hm, you are not the first swordsman who says that, "Mister one said mockingly. In his whole life, no swordsman was able to cut him, and all of them are dead.

"then I will be the last" Lucas replied as waved his sword in Z shape.

"they said this too" Mister 1 was 7 steps away from Lucas, and he was approaching

"Are you sure they were swordsmen, not some children holding some wooden swords," Lucas smirked. Mister 1 was only 3 steps away from him.

"it's useless to argue with a dead man" Mister one crossed his arms. His fingers turned into sharp blades. Then mister one waved both of his hands in an X shape on Lucas.

Lucas didn't dodge at all and took the blades made by his foe's blades.

*Cut**Cut*

*Metal clash*

The wall behind Lucas suddenly got cut marks, the thick wall was cut easily by the sheer force of Mister 1 waving his blades.

Mister 1 stood straight and looked at Lucas, ready to see his blood. *Cut*

Some cuts appeared on the black coat of Zorro, but no blood sprayed. Mister one and Miss Doublefinger waited for a few seconds ready to see him fall and see the bloody scene. They waited but nothing has happened. The masked man lifted his head to look at Mister one.

' Did I miss 'Mister one opened his eyes in confuse. The cut clothes and the wall behind him was a big proof that he didn't miss. Wait, he heard a metal clash when he cut him. 'No, impossible'

'Did I see right' Miss Doublefinger rubbed her eyes and looked with an opened jaw.

"And you call those blades, this was just petting to me, even my shaving blade is sharper than this

But at least you could cut my 10.000 berries coat. Now you have to pay it with your head" Lucas said looking to his coat.

Mister one waved his blade-like fingers toward Lucas's head. Lucas quickly reacted and held both Mister one's hands with his hand that was covered by glove to not get those cut, Lucas covered them with Haki, as for the other hand, Lucas used his rapier.

"Impossible" Mister 1 was shocked. His blades were caught by bare hands. This is impossible, Lucas should lose his hand for doing this. The same was for Miss Doublefinger, she was also overconfident in her partner's abilities, so she stood aside.

While the agent 1 was in the middle of his shock, Lucas took back his rapier with a speed that was hard to react to, then he stabbed Mister 1 in his chest. The blade of the rapier pierced Mister's one steel chest easily, and blood started to spray. Then, Lucas took his rapier back and started to stab different locations. Mister 1's body was covered by wounds and blood.

'Impossible. I'm made of steel, how can this happens' Mister one's legs were shaking as he was struggling to keep standing.

"Steel can be cut. I never thought so" Mister one smiled mocking himself for being arrogant. Then he fell to the ground with his back.
