Chapter 172

Today was Friday. 

Lucas had been waiting for this day since Saturday after he saw Hina wearing a dress and asked her for a date without testing the future, and she accepted.  

During those six days, Hina had been acting as usual around while asking for cigarettes here and there. Sometimes, they talk about their date and its time and place, before Hina changes the topic to another one or go to her ship. 

Lucas was a bit early today, as he booked a table inside a restaurant, next to the marine base, in one big city. 

The restaurant seemed luxurious and very expensive, as, in the white tables around, many couples are wearing noble dresses. 

Lucas was looking at them while sitting alone at a two-persons table, feeling like a single man. He barely noticed the life system of nobles and kingdoms here, so he took the time to look at the people around.  He thought it doesn't look bad.

"Hey handsome, are you alone."

"No, I'm waiting for my date."

"Oh, too bad.

Lucas, just now, refused some noble-looking, red-haired blue-eyed lady that passed by him. Not only her, but other bunches of girls had been refused. One of them was even a princess here.  

Bored, Lucas rested his head on the table. He remembered that women need more time to prepare themselves more than they realise. "Here, she is." Lucas lifted his head to see his date entering from the door. The first reaction he had was to open his jaw a bit while looking at her. 

Hina was wearing a tight black dress that barely passes by her full thighs, which had a slit that allowed a part of her snow skinned b.r.e.a.s.ts to appear.  She had worn a pair of black heels that made her b.r.e.a.s.ts jiggle with each step, taking Lucas's eyes to focus like a wolf. Her butt was perky as her chest, drawing Lucas attention from those thighs and h.i.p.s, to her b.r.e.a.s.ts. On her pretty face, she had red lipstick, some eye shadow. As for her light pink hair, she let it down.  

Lucas kept looking to her red lips and her dark purple eyes while taking a deep breath. 

Most men here shifted their gazes before getting their heads slammed on the tables by someone.  

Looking at Lucas, Hina frowned as she found him here earlier than her. Though she was late since she found that preparing herself more time consuming than she expected, she took it that Lucas was the one who is early. Well, no one to blame her. That was the first time she wore like a woman and prepared herself for someone.

She made her way and sat on the opposite chair. "Hina feel awkward with dresses." 

Contrary to her words, Hina seemed satisfied as she saw the way he is looking at her. It made her feel her heartbeat accelerate and happy to see him charmed. She wasn't embarrassed at all since she had a confident personality. 

"Lucas says Hina feel prettier with those." Lucas was truly charmed by her. She was already stunning when she barely bothered to dress well. But now with dresses, that was another level of charming here.

"Thanks, but can you stop talking like me." Hina used 'me' for the first time. If he keeps teasing her this way, then Hina would start talking like a normal person. 

"What do you want to order?" 

Hina smiled mockingly before looking at the menu.  "Some wine... do they allow smoking here."

"Unless they want me to shut their restaurant down, they would keep silent."

"Hina think that cute."

"Thanks, I guess."

After some laugh, Lucas and Hina ordered wine with cigarettes. Knowing that the two are a Rear Admiral and a Commodore, the restaurant owner couldn't do anything except apologising for the other clients about the smoke. 

Then, the date went smoothly, while the two are talking and smoking. Since Lucas spent one month teaching her Haki, and more time as workers, they didn't lack topics to talk about. 

"Remember the time I threw a pillow at you and you laugh."

"Hina don't remember."

"Why are you smiling?"

They were laughing about one memory they had.  Hina never expected that she would enjoy this date with someone half her age. With her Haki, she could feel that Lucas was stealing glances at her thighs and b.r.e.a.s.ts sometimes while keeping looking at her eyes- so weird. 

As the continued talking, someone who had a heavyweight in the Navy entered from the door, and he doesn't belong to this country. 

From the door, entered a 250 cm tall man with short black hair and wore sunglasses, though it was night.  He was wearing a long white coat and white pants. On his slight black beard, there was some stuck candy, which made the people look at him while chuckling. 

Though he seemed to be annoyed, he kept calm and turned his head to see the surrounding, looking for his target. His eyes stopped on a very beautiful woman and a handsome young man.  

Looking like he found his target, he started walking forward.

At the same time, Lucas finished talking about a topic that made it hard for Hina to keep her cold face and draw a charming smile.

"Tell Hina, how are all these girls satisfied with you, and don't have the urge to kill you, or each other," Hina asked one of the questions that bothered her. Lucas was a good talker, charming, handsome and had charisma, but she still not understanding how he is having a good life with all those girls in his marine life, and make them m.o.a.n loudly as well.

"How about you come close to find out." Feeling that it was the right moment, Lucas took his cigarette and let his face closer, looking at her red lips. 

Not acting like a shy little girl, Hina narrowed her eyebrow and pushed her cigarette before letting her face closer to his. Since the two were tall, the table length didn't get in the way.  

The distance between them got less.  

*Kiss* 

Both of their lips met, and they kissed. 

Not expecting the kiss to go like that, Hina found his tongue pressing against her, which she welcomed by opening her lips before closing them on his tongue. But then, she got that feeling, the numbness in her brain and the tickling on her body. She opened her eyes widely shocked while looking at Lucas's eyes. Lucas tightened his eyed before closing them. 

*Muah*

Their heads went back as their lips separated. Hina looked at Lucas silently, not expecting this kiss to be so good, and for the first time in her life, turn her on... horny. 

Lucas could see that her n.i.p.p.l.es stick to her dress as they became hard. 

"Hina-Hina... says that was good but too fast. We need to go slower," said Hina, putting her hand on her lower lip, smiling. She just knew why many girls fell for him. Just the kiss alone made her knew that some more, would make her addicted to him. It may be a bad idea, but she didn't care and wanted more.

Lucas smiled back and nodded. Things are going well for him. 

"The two of you, don't you know smoking publicly is bad." 

Lucas and Hina turned their heads, feeling someone strong approaching and stood one meter away from their table.  

"Vice Admiral Vergo." Looking at the man with candy on his beard, Hina could recognise him, "your base is G5, not this one, what are you doing here."

"Vergo?" 

Lucas looked at him, as Vergo was standing on the table, with an annoyed expression. Everything was going perfect until this Vice-Admiral came. Lucas already did his researches, and could know that this Vice Admiral is actually, a pirate who belongs to Doflamingo group. 

"it's Vice-Admiral Vergo, for you" Vergo agilely took the two cigarettes from the table and crushed them. 

"I believe that you don't belong to this place, G5 is far away, and you should go away." Lucas work under Momousagi here, so, unless Vergo is his direct Admiral, then there is nothing that man can do with his rank. 

"Lucas, let's just go." Though Hina seemed annoyed, she grabbed Lucas's hand and wanted to go somewhere else. 

Lucas refused to stand up and made a small smirk looking at Vergo, "why would we go? He would follow us any way, as this guy seems to be here for troubles."

Hina let her mouth close to his ear and whispered "he is a Vice Admiral; even if we could beat him, doing it publicly would hurt the reputation. Hina can cage him for sure."

Lucas could tell why Vergo is here. Apparently, Doflamingo sent him for kind of test. But Lucas would tolerate no interruption in his dating time. 

"Hina shouldn't worry about that." Lucas tightened his eyes and stood up next Hina. 

"That's right, you should make an apology for each client here personally and bow for ruining their experience, or, I'll have to make you."Each one in the restaurant looked anxiously at Lucas and Vergo, feeling some kind of pressure.

"Let's go out, Vergo."

"Vice Admiral Vergo." 

Vergo clicked his tongue, finding that Lucas ignored him as he grabbed Hina's arm and took her through the door.  Vergo then bowed to the people in the restaurant apologising before he makes his way out following the two. 

He just provoked them for smoking, not only so, but he asked him to bow to each client because it was his purpose to get on Lucas's nerves. 

Hina's eyes became sharp as some cage bars started to appear on her body, wanting to cage Vergo before strangling him. Though he is Vice Admiral, he went far and deserves some kind of punishment, but that won't be easy though. 

Standing in an empty street, between the houses, Lucas and Hina were standing opposite Vergo. 

"Now you can say what you want," Lucas said. 

"I want nothing more than to give you a reminder of public manners."

"Ho, so you think you can come to my place, throw my precious cigarette, interrupt my date, then publicly try to humiliate me and my date, then you say you want to teach me manners. Well, be my guest." 

Lucas extended his hands, inviting Vergo to attack. 

"You can fight back; I won't use my position to suppress you. Though I doubt that a Rear Admiral like you would do anything," Vergo said. "Young Marines, like the two of you, are throwing our face."

"Hina thinks you are too much," Hina was about to step in but stopped when Lucas extended his hand stopping her before his hand accidentally go down and touch her crotch. 

Continued glaring at Vergo, Lucas made a smirk: "Mister Vergo, did you really forget your past, the real one, as I can smell smoke on you. Tell me, did you burn some city when you were a kid." 

Lucas's meaning was simple, as he was pointing to Vergo childhood when he used to burn cities with Doflamingo group. 

Those words seemed to play on Vergo's nerves; Vergo lifted his fist glaring at Lucas. "You need some discipline. "

Vergo was here because Doflamingo asked him to make a fight with Lucas since him planning to bribe him into their side and wanted to know his strength before putting him into a use.  But now, seems thing became personal.

"I'll say it again, be my guest." 

Lucas put his hands inside his pocket and walked forward, before standing ten meters away from Vergo, who shall pay the price for interrupting his date.  He took a cigarette and lit it up. 

"Still Smoking, Brat." 

Vergo clenched his fist that became ink black, before kicking the ground swiftly and vanishing. *Swish* the next blink he appeared in front of Lucas and gave him a punch, not using his full strength, but it was enough to take your average Vice Admiral. 

Lucas stayed staring blinkingly at his fist, making Vergo thinking that the Rear Admiral is dumb. However, as his fist got him, it passed by him. 

"Afterimage!" 

Shocked from Lucas's sheer speed, Vergo stopped to see only Hina in front of him, crossing her arm and staring sharply at him.

Vergo turned his head back to see Lucas is still standing, with the cigarette in his mouth and wearing black sunglasses. 

Weird, since when Lucas was wearing sunglasses. Vergo then realised that his own sunglasses were on Lucas.

"Not bad sunglasses," Lucas gazed at Vergo while making a smirk that wasn't very friendly.

Since when he did that, Vergo wondered as he touched his eyes. He who was Vice-Admiral couldn't even see his sunglasses being taken from him. This isn't the usual strength of Rear Admiral.  Lucas is stronger than they assumed, as he maybe ate a Devil Fruit that increases the speed. 

"Give them back." Vergo, wrapping himself with Armament Haki making his whole body ink-black, walked forward as he turned serious, deadly serious. He won't make the same mistake again and let his guard down.

"I'll give you the same chance, apology," Lucas said. 

Clenching his teeth, Vergo used Shave and moved faster than before appearing next to Lucas. 

<<More-More: Strength x100>>

Lucas activated his Devil Fruit Power. 

Lucas learned a few things about his fruit. He can't increase his strength and speed at the same time, so he concluded this: speed boost is used for attacking, dodging, and punching, while strength boost is used for defence and putting pressure. 

*Bam* 

Vergo's fist that was wrapped with Haki landed on Lucas's chest, making wind surge behind him that made the small objects fly. 

However, Lucas didn't react as only his legs slide 3 centimetres away before stopping. No matter how strong he has, his mass is still of a human.

Vergo opened his eyes widely. Is Lucas admiral candidate or something? This level of physical strength surpasses the human limits, even in One Piece world. 

"No way." That was his full punch power, supported by Haki. One must know that Vergo's punch can break a Sea Stone easily. 

"you don't need to thank me for giving you an advanced medical vacation." 

Smiling like it was nothing, Lucas extended his hand slowly, holding Vergo's hand, while his other hand holding the cigarette. Vergo tried to take his hand back, but he found it heavy as the guy 62 cm shorter than he was holding it firmly. 

"Hina think that is over," Lucas may seem young, but Hina knew that he was far strong, as he could even teach her Haki in one month and with pillows above that. Vergo is lucky that Lucas didn't take his swords back.

Vergo didn't lose hope, seeing that Lucas's is holding one hand while the other is focusing on the cigarette. 

"Wait, there is no need. "Too late." Lucas grabbed Vergo's hand, making his whole body follow down. Before he could realise it, Lucas held the back of Vergo's head and pushed him violently to the ground.

*Cracks*

Cracks spread on the ground as Vergo's face sank on the ground. The ground shook violently as the people around thought it was an earthquake. 

The people around were confused.

"Lucas, Hina think you overdone it," Hina said, trying to hide her amazement of Lucas's physical strength, which surpassed Vergo's who was known to be one of the strongest Vice Admirals physically. And the ground was very soft material to Vergo, so he would just lose his conscious and wake up with a broken nose and face. 

Well, Lucas isn't a doctor, but Vergo would take a vacation for sure. 

"Don't worry, his Haki and Iron Mass saved him from any serious injury." Smiling back to Hina, Lucas offered his hand. "Shall we go, somewhere else."

"Sure. Let's continue our date in a private place," Hina took the cigarette from Lucas's hand and turned away to walk while looking up to the moon."

Starring at her legs, Lucas smiled as he followed her.
