Lucas found himself facing Roronoa Zoro in his own warship. Zoro showed Lucas the scar that he got from the best swordsman in the world and told him that he wanted rematch here.
"Zoro, are you sure. Your captain was already annoying." Lucas let a deep sigh looking at Zoro.
"Before I can become the Strongest Swordsman in the world, I have the defeat the Strongest Swordsman in East Blue."
Zoro took the bandana from his shoulder and wrapped it around his head.
'Why do I feel, Deja Vu here.' Lucas thought.
"from the time I got this scar, I have been training and training no stop. If I don't beat you, then I can't think of beating him. I have to get stronger, even if it cost me my life."
Seeing Lucas's carefree expression, Zoro clenched his teeth and started talking.
"Him, who?" Lucas asked. He felt some pity for him; from all the people in One Piece, Zoro was the only one who worked hardest, yet he chose to defy the one with The Strongest System.
"Mihawk." Zoro finished adjusting his bandana.
"you aren't facing the same person again," Zoro started taking his swords one by one. He held a sword in his mouth and one sword in each hand.
"To cut or to cut not," he said as his aura seemed to change and his muscles seemed to harder than the last time, as Zoro can throw a huge building now.
Lucas, as a Swords Grandmaster could hear Zoro's swords breathing. "I see, you have become a swords master."
Zoro, from all the characters in One Piece, trained his body the whole time, but his swordsmanship only advanced in battle.
Lucas waved his hand to his men to getaway.
Seeing their leader signal, the seamen got away. On the other warsh.i.p.s, Marines went to a better spot to watch what is going to happen. "
"Hurry up, our Rear Admiral is going to fight."
"What!!! I want to see it."
...
"Take your sword," Zoro said, after seeing Lucas, only wearing his short and facing him n.a.k.e.d. Zoro can't possibly think of attacking an armless man. At least, Mihawk used a fruit knife with him.
"Make me." Lucas relaxed his shoulder. He was about to take a cigarette, but he didn't want to have troubles with his cousin since she is watching.
"Don't trust that you are fast enough."
Zoro decided to show his new power to Lucas, so the latter would consider taking out his sword. To him, Lucas was a second target to Mihawk and the one who has the title of the strongest swordsman in East Blue. Before going to the best in the world, Zoro wanted to regain his title as the Best in East Blue.
Zoro crossed his arms, and with one step, his figure became blurry as he dashed toward Lucas. Seeing that Lucas didn't move from his spot, Zoro focused his gaze as he fell for this trick before: 'he is doing the afterimage trick again; it won't fool me twice.'
"Santoryu..." Zoro bent his body, spread his swords, and spined hitting Lucas with everything surrounding him in 360 degrees. This should do the trick.
"what," Zoro felt that he didn't hit an afterimage, but a real person. Did he just now cut Lucas? No, that is too easy to be true.
"Is this the best you got?" Lucas asked as two swords were on his skin, trying to cut him.
With Iron Mass level 20 as a passive ability, Titanium Mass as an active one, it would need at least a Starter Swords Grandmaster to cut him.
A slash at this level won't do anything even to his D.
"Though I would say, your physical strength is better than your swordsmanship." Lucas yawned. He had enough time with those idiots.
Zoro suddenly opened his eyes widely. Does he see, right? His swords are on Lucas's skin, but they didn't even give him a wound.
"Oh... amazing?" Luffy opened his eyes widely feeling shocked, as he knew how much strong Zoro is. Even if Lucas is strong, he shouldn't be able to take his swords.
The girls in Luffy's crew also opened their jaws widely. They can't believe that milky muscled body is this hard.
"Hahaha." The girls of Lucas laughed in reaction.
"I don't believe it, Santory, Oni..." Zoro jumped back and lifted his swords before attacking again and using a stronger strike.
*Metal clash*
The swords kept making metal clash sound as it clashed with Lucas's body. Zoro felt that he is going mad.
By this time, Sanji woke up finding himself buried inside his ship.
Without Zoro noticing, Lucas vanished as Zoro's sword hit the empty air. Lucas then appeared next to Zoro, lifting him from his throat.
"When you get stronger, come and face me. Until then, don't bother me again." Lucas then threw Zoro back to his ship.
By the time Zoro would become a swords grandmaster, then Mihawk would become the third greatest swordsman in the world.
Sanji, who just woke up, found Zoro flying toward him.
"Oy, Green Head." Sanji was going to ask Zoro to change his direction. But unfortunately, Zoro hit him, and both of them got buried.
"Damn cook." Zoro cursed as he found himself lying next to Sanji. "Seems I'm still too weak, I need to get stronger."
"ZORO." The brunette in Luffy's crew jumped back to their ship and went to help Zoro who just lost.
"Zoro lost, this is bad," Luffy commented as he looked back to his ship. he then turned to Lucas and asked. "But I guess you would two make it when you join."
"You are still saying that; how about your crew's permission."
Lucas was trying to find a way to get rid of Luffy.
"I don't think he should come," Katya said as she doesn't trust him.
"I don't mind him, though." The petit blonde said, "he is strong."
"See, Marry, don't mind you." Luffy turned to Lucas.
"ha-ha." Lucas's crew started to laugh, but after seeing their leader's sharp glare at them, they stopped.
"Sure, I'll join on one condition. Fight me." Lucas finally gave up. He can only treat Luffy as a child.
"Ho, sure I'll fight you."
"Luffy!"
The girl named Marry said as she and the other girls objected. But Luffy said it is okay.
"Not here, there."
Lucas pointed with his finger to one far island. Luffy agreed to fight in that place.
After both of the sides agreed, Luffy and his crew went back to their sh.i.p.s and sailed to that small island first.
Lucas was still far from them, as his sh.i.p.s are still 1000 meter away. He turned his head to his girls, who were laughing, seeing him depressed.
"Domino, do me a favour and destroy their sail."
"Sure, Rear admiral" Domino appeared next to Lucas and aimed with her lavender eyes. She extended her finger, and it turned into a lightning bolt that hit the sail of Luffy's ship.
With this, Luffy would be busy with fixing his ship for the next days and trying to turn off the fire. He won't even have the time to go after Lucas.
"Let's go back to the HQ," Lucas ordered. Then, his warsh.i.p.s turned their sails, and Nami used her wind power to make their trip faster.
Happy that he got rid of them, Lucas went to Domino, put his hands on her cute cheeks, and looked to her purple eyes.
"Domino, I love you."
Lucas lowered his head and put his lips on hers before letting his tongue inside her mouth and moving it up and down.
"Mmm." Domino let a happy m.o.a.n and extended her tongue, exchanging kisses with him. Lucas then put his hand on her back and moved them down until they were on her blued jeans, and grabbed her butt, squeezing it.
He was so grateful to her that he decided to please her right here and right now.
"Stop; Hina hates this acting." Hina from another ship commented as some cages started to get out of her body, but it seems the love birds didn't hear her.
"Mm, Lucas, you are savage. Ohh. Take me inside the cabin."
Domino, feeling her butt squeezed by his unique touch, got s.e.x.u.a.lly aroused and entered a mental orgasm, which ended up of her getting inside his cabin.
-x-X-x-
The next day, Lucas and his girls plus Hina and some other officers, got out of the HQ and went to the Red Line.
The Red Line that crosses the Grand Line has its own Summer, Winter, Spring, and Fall "islands". The Red Line is said to be 10,000 meters deep from ocean level to Fish-Man Island.
At the same time, it is high enough above sea level to be considered impassable, and it is indestructible, meaning that it is almost impossible to pass over it or under it without using either of the entrances.
This line was what separated the Grand line into two halves. The first was called Paradise, and the second was The New World.
Now, it would require a lot of jobs to pass to The New World, especially for pirates.
But for marines, there is something called Red Port.
At either side of the Grand Line, at the base of the Red Line, directly below the home of celestial dragons, is the Red Port, which has special stairs that would lead to the holy land which exist above this Red Line, or it allow to pass to the other side easily.
Lucas was thinking of going up the stairs and run to the centre before using [Imperial Will] that he got from the system to take over the Celestial Dragons.
Once he uses this title, then anyone in the range of one mile would submit to him for his whole life.
But after thinking a lot, Imperial Will was a very precious title, and he can use it once. And once using times equal zero, it won't be recharged.
(the title was mentioned in chapter 5)
But the price of recharging is very huge: 10 Logia, or 200 Zoan, or 200 Paramecia, Devil fruits.
It seems impossible to recharge it. If you tell someone about the price, he would say that Devil Fruits aren't sold in Kilos.
Well, in fact, in the Manga, after the time skip, Devil Fruits were shown to sold in tons.
But that was after the time skip; if Lucas guess is correct, then the fruits started getting manufactured by now since the crazy scientist who is making them had escaped one year ago from the World Government.
Lucas always thought, since this title is precious and overpowered, he can use this trick to recharge it.
If he ever had a second usage, then he would be able to control this world while having a guarantee to face a stronger opponent without fear.
That is why he wanted to have the crazy scientist who can make Devil Fruits in his side.
Once Lucas unlocks his potentials, then God knows what that scientist can make. Maybe even logia or paramecia wouldn't be impossible by then, let alone some hundreds of Devil Fruits.
Lucas still wants to control the Navy, and a lot of time in this world, making love with beauties.
Besides, he still has to find Law and use a trick to eat Devil Fruit More-More, which would grant him that he will become strong, or even stronger than admirals. Also, he would become the fastest man alive.
And if Lucas got bored or impatient, then he can always come back to the Holy land and use his title: Imperial Aura, here.
And so, Lucas and his crew went to the other side of Red Port, making him reach the New World in some minutes.
As they were passing to the other side, Lucas couldn't help but notice something weird. He turned his face to Lilia and saw that she was wearing a white mask that covered the lowered half of her face, making her look like an assassin.
"Lilia, why are you wearing a mask?" Now thinking about it, that girl always hides her identity, but she never hides her face, until now. "If you are facing troubles, you can tell me." It's not like Lucas cared that she hide something, as long as she is his woman, he would only care about her.
The other girls looked at her, feeling suspicious. "Did anyone bother you," Calorina asked, looking angry.
*Cough*
Lilia coughed a bit before saying "I was originally born here, and came to East Blue when I was a child. It doesn't matter to me anymore, but I don't want to attract attention if someone knew me."
"Fool girl, If someone thinks they can bother you, then they have to pass by me first." Lucas sighed and grabbed her to his embrace before knocking on her head. He was a bit shocked to know she was born here, but it is not that big news.
Maybe she is a daughter of some pirate, and she didn't want anyone to relate her to her origins out of fear that she gets kicked out of the Navy.
"Tell me, are you a daughter of a pirate or runaway princess," Lucas said as he gave her a small love punch on her head.
"Ouch." Lilia covered her head with both of her hands and pushed her face closer to Lucas's chest "No, I have no troubles."
"You said you were a child when you came here. No one would recognise you since you grew up." though, Lucas is still wondering if she is a daughter of some pirate, or, maybe a princess' like Sanji.
But that wasn't possible, as when he met her in east blue, she didn't know how to use Haki, neither how to hold a sword- well, she was better than Zoro at his beginning at least.
"You are right." Lilia nodded and took the mask off. As human grows, her look would change. She found that what Lucas said is true. "As long as I'm with you, I'm happy." Besides, now she became a Swords Grandmaster and had the best fruit for that.
And so, they continued chatting, and very soon, they reached the other side of the Grand Line.
Lucas and his girls found a ship waiting for them. Since they were new here, Sengoku had to ask someone to show them the way here.
"Please, I'll take you to your base." Some marine soldier said.
