Chapter 114

The next day.

From the HQ, Lucas's ship with his crew came to pick him up to attend his honour ceremony in the HQ.

He would be named as the hero who did something great by saving Alabasta, and also, recently, the face of Impel Down.

Lucas didn't care if he was named as a hero or not. As long as it has a benefit for him, he won't care even if he was appointed as a devil.

Lucas woke up between the thighs and b.r.e.a.s.ts of his girls. No, he didn't sleep at all since they didn't allow him to rest. After washing himself, Lucas sent the girls to the ship first, out of fearsome conflict would happen. Then he went to the prison and said a temporary goodbye to both of Sadi and Domino.

The latter didn't seem to want to fight with Sadi at all. Instead, Domino ignored her and said she would follow him later, the happiness she just got yesterday was too much. Sadi was surprised by the recent change in Domino, but she also didn't care, then she gave Lucas some kisses, Domino didn't stay idle and kissed him as well.

Lucas then went to his ship and went to Marineforde, The Navy Headquarter.

Despite the distance is large, the trip didn't take long because of the fast stream of the channel. Upon seeing the shadow of Marineforde, Lucas let a smile, since his career started here. His eyes were fixed on the Japanese style building, which was the HQ; he was aiming to take over that by the end.

Lucas entered the HQ and asked for permission to report that he arrived here. After getting it, Lucas was moved into some room to wait.

Sengoku sent him someone to explain what will he do and what will happen in his ceremony. He said that if he doesn't know how to talk, he will write his some speech, as Sengoku feared that Lucas is like Garp, whose mouth wasn't proper for public words.

Not to let his girls wait for two hours, Lucas gave them some money so they would shop. As Marineforde already had a city for the families of the officers who work here, shopping was a choice for the marines' families here.

While waiting, Lucas lit up some cigarettes thinking about how much left for him to finish what he started.

Lucas opened his storage. He put his scimitars inside, then he took some Devil Fruits and put them on the swords.

[Ding, fusing Electricity-Electricity fruit with The Black Scimitar]

[Ding, fusing Cold-Cold fruit with The White Scimitar]

Looking at the two weapons in his storage, Lucas found that he has the choice to extract the Devil Fruits from them. This made him wonder if he can do the same to humans.

Usually, in One Piece world, weapons are mostly seen to eat Zoan Fruits.

But there are some doubts that weapons can eat Paramecia Devil Fruits.

One Piece's community was divided in this case, some are saying Fujitora's sword was the one that ate devil fruit since the admiral would always use it when using his power, and it's not logical since Devil Fruits turn the body into a weapon, not what they touch into a threat.

But few are saying that Fujitora is the one who ate the devil fruit and channelled his power through the fruit, but in the history of One Piece, no Devil Fruit eater used a weapon to use his ability.

And well, the fandom was written by fans, so wiki never held the absolute answer.

This didn't matter to Lucas, with The Strongest System, he can force any weapon to absorb any type of Devil Fruits, even if it was Logia one.

Still, Lucas thought how would he improve the powers of the weapons, since it was always shown that humans could increase their power Devil Fruit prowess through training, or controlling the fruit.

Two swords appeared on his hand.

" Now, how I activate those"

Lucas was trying to make the weapons do something. They are still looking the same, but in his eyes, they became different.

Anyone with swordsmanship's level of Master and higher can hear the sound of steel, and any Swords Grandmaster is ready to use his soul with his swords to use illusions that affect the reality. So Lucas obviously, could notice the change in his swords.

After five minutes of focusing on his scimitars, Lucas felt that a connection that he always had between him and his swords, was changing. Those weapons always felt like a part of his body, but after eating a devil fruit, they thought that they became different.

After five minutes.

Some blue sparks started to dance around the black scimitar, and some cold white smoke started to leave the white scimitar.

Lucas waved the white sword gently, and a cold air flew out of his sword and hit the wall, making that spot freeze a bit, and suddenly, the room's temperature became lower.

"I get it. I see how does this work. It's a matter of control, "

...

The HQ

The highest floor.

Inside the fleet admiral's office, Sengoku and Garp were talking.

"Garp, just what did you teach him."

Sengoku asked while looking at Lucas's profile. He had a quite headache while trying to process what happens.

At first, Lucas, when he became a commodore, in any location he visits, many vanishing, low profile pirates and supposed dead criminals would be caught. This may be because he is too good at his job.

Then somehow, he got a shot next to his heart and went to Alabasta to have a vacation, and he caught Crocodile with evidence on his schemes.

Finally, when he came back to work, he asked to stay in Impel Down for two days, and bam, he found a group of hidden prisoners under Magellan's nose.

Did this kid eat a devil fruit that allows him to find troubles whenever he goes?

It's not like he is complaining, and he never doubted that Lucas knew about those in advance, since the kid is young, and he spent most of his life in east blue.

Sengoku thought about a legend that makes the Celestial Dragons feel fear. The legend says: he who bare the D would cause havoc in the world.

But Lucas has no D in his name, yet he is flipping each place he goes to.

Garp was sitting and playing with his nose. Hearing Sengoku's question, he answered: "That Smelly Brat is genius, I taught him a couple of tricks, then gave him a punch on his head, and he unlocked his potentials."

"..." Sengoku was speechless. If punching people on the forehead make them genius, then his grandson would be smart enough to see how Sengoku tricked him not to raise piracy flags.

"Bwahaha. He reminds me of my young days."

*Sigh*

"I'll keep him as Rear Admiral for now, and later I will see if I should promote him" Lucas's abilities, swordsmanship, and Haki, according to what Sengoku heard, weren't weak compared to most of the vice admirals.

But he is still very young and needs to prove himself to be worthy. He felt that Lucas is the man the marine would rely on in the future, so he needed to watch his growth.

...

Lucas ceremony's time has come. He was called to some hall where he had to stand in front of old weird-looking people and some young marine officers, and say some words.

What was remarkable was the girls that came here, other than Calorina, Alvida, Lilia, Hina came as well since she had to see her superior promote after one month of working together. She still owes him some cigarettes, and she bought some packets, so she needed to pay him back.

Also, another three were sitting back. Nami, Kaya and Nojiko came here to witness him becoming a rear admiral. It was no-secret that Lucas is going to promote, and since Lucas already signed their papers, so they become his subordinates, the girls were able to come and attend this meeting.

Lucas saw them, smiled and waved his hand. All of them smiled back and waved their hands as well, Nami, from excitement, whistled loudly. And then, the group of girls down, and girls sitting up noticed each other. With surprised faces, they looked at each other, then they looked at Lucas who bit his lips and calmed down.

Hina looked to the girls' surprised faces, and then she looked at Lucas, whose facial expression, she knew that he has a relationship with them.

It was a real surprise that she didn't know this side of him. As she remembers, from the time they started working together, Lucas never filtered with her and kept a distance from her.

Even, when he got shot, and his face fell on her b.r.e.a.s.ts, he slept there like a kid. That was a dangerous place, as if any man put his head there, they would be trapped. But Lucas never mentioned this again and she the same.

Seeing Lucas's new side, it seems that he is a womaniser, and a good one to keep those girls together without fighting.

'Calorina is his cousin. Maybe there is another one he isn't dating.'

'From the time the girls joined the ship, Hina couldn't sleep because of their m.o.a.ns'

Since Lucas was like this, she wondered why he never made a move on her.

Hina seemed to be bothered by one idea 'is Hina ugly, '

Ignoring his girls, Lucas started to read the speech that was written on the paper.

He tried his best not to fall asleep, or not to cringe, when he was talking about the justice, how good the principals of the marines and many other things that Lucas's soul would contradict with.

But he read it anyway.

"And I'm happy that the justice serve... Was served by me" Lucas finished his speech, alive.

*claps*

The officers clapped with their hands.

Then someone came to promote Lucas since Sengoku was busy with papers, he sent an available admiral, who looked like a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged admiral looked to be very sleepy and very lazy, that he even forgot why is he here.

"What are you doing here guys."

Someone replied quietly:" ceremony of Alabasta hero."

"Oooohh" despite the guy being known to have the speed of the light, he took some time to realise what happened. It seems he forgot to bring something.

"I forgot something " He turned into a light and vanished from his place.

A few seconds later, a light appeared in front of Lucas with some paper and coat. Lucas got his promotion, along with his coat as a rear admiral.

.....

After becoming a rear admiral, Lucas was allowed to live in Marineforde with his family, since he has yet to move into another base.

The girls met him in private, and Lucas used his bullshit skill to convince them that he was going to introduce them, but time wasn't proper.

Since they passed through that, and almost every girl tasted themselves, they had no saying against him, as long as they are happy, they won't care about the others, but a couple of them gave him few pinches on his waist, which Lucas simply laughed at since it doesn't even pain his skin.

Since his girls are working under him, as officers, and not girlfriends, they were allowed to have their own houses as well.

Lucas suggested that everyone gets their own house, then they would live together. That's because sometimes, his D would get tired, and the girls can become angry, and with their number, he can't hold peace alone, so he would need a place to hide.

...

Lucas officially is a rear admiral. Now Lucas got one step closer to his overall goal.

Lucas now was sitting above the roof of his new house in Marineford; he was holding a poster as well.

This poster was showing a pirate, that has nothing to do with Lucas's next promotion. But it has something to do with a goal, that was more important than ruling this world.

This goal, if any innocent man that never knew to kill would kill as even his brothers to get that.

This goal was more important than all of the wealth of Gol D Roger.

"He got his 150 million berries bounty. I was waiting for him to make an appearance."

Lucas smirked while looking to the poster.

"Lucas, come down, I need your help" Lucas heard Kaya's voice calling him. "Coming " he replied.
