Chapter 231

Lila felt that a heavy burden had felled from her back. The reason that she wore a mask when coming to New World was that she feared someone may know her. And by someone, she meant her mother and her network. But since Lucas told her its fine and no one would recognize her since she grew up, she decided just to be careful not to go away and stick close to the Navy.

She feared a bit for her life, but that wasn't her biggest concern, as if the Navy and The World Government found about her, then she and Lucas along with everyone she had interaction with would be punished according to the rules. Her heart would never tolerate the idea that her beloved people would be hurt because of her.

"..."

"..."

'My poor life,' Lucas's lips were shaking. For the first time, he had the urge to scream in frustration.

Of course Lilly, such a small secret could be kept since it was too little to be mentioned. But well, Lucas isn't to talk as he too had his own secrets that he would take to the grave – wait, he can't have a natural death, as a half immortal, so basically, there won't be a grave.

"Lilia, though I love you, I can't afford to have fake hope." Calorina wanted to believe, but at the same time, she didn't want to believe what she is hearing. "Just be honest."

But if this is true, then there is a high hope.

Big Mom was known to have the best investigating Network in the world. Even the New World agents fear for their families from Big Mom. Even if they hide them well, Big Mom's network can find almost everything.

Calorina wouldn't care, at this point, if she had to go to pirates to ask for help. But a small part of her wanted to believe that Lilia said this nonsense for cheering her up.

"No, I'm serious, my Mom is Charlotte Linlin. Though our relationship wasn't bad, I don't know about the current time. Years ago, I had sneaked to my Big Sis's boat, when she was escaping from a marriage, and somehow, I managed to reach East Blue and had to live at the Babarogi Kingdom. But that trip was scary."

"Lola..." Lucas said, silently, hoping that Lilia doesn't know what she is talking about. But after seeing the near future, Lucas let a sigh like he wasn't surprised.

"How did you know her name?" Lilia turned to Lucas and asked, "How did you know the name of my sister. Did you meet her?"

Lilia only exposed her identity now, but hearing Lucas's comments, her eyes lit up.

Lucas lowered his head and took a deep breath, no one know what is he thinking of.

Calorina didn't believe that at first; but seeing Lucas's reaction, which says 'can't a man relax', she knew that Lilia is hones

"Good question. How did you know?" asked Calorina.

Lucas, now, believed her.

Not answering, Lucas took a cup of water and started drinking while glaring at Lilia, with his hands shaking. 'Sorry I wasn't honest with you, she says.'

Lucas barely could complete drinking the water before breaking the cup in his hand.

After taking a deep breath, he made his decision.

"So be it, let's see your mom." Lucas looked at Lilia and smiled.

She smiled back and said, "I didn't know you would act like this. If I knew, I would've told you earlier."

Though Lucas wanted to scream at her, Lilia was the girl he had lost his v.i.r.g.i.nity with. And as science says, in polygamy, the first girl is always the most memorable and has the closest place.

"You didn't ask me though." Lucas let a sight as he stood up, a man should always control himself. If not, how would he take over the world by the next month?

Suddenly, Lucas felt Calorina pressing on his shoulder, trying to stop him from standing up. "Lucas, you can't go. If you did, you would get kicked from the Navy."

"No, both of you can't go, I'll go alone and speak to my mom."Lilia clenched her fists while thinking. She was just a little girl and her mother should be angry on her sister, not her, so, it should be safe.

"Who do you think me? I'll go and that's final."

Lucas pushed Calorina's hand and stood up.

There is no way he wouldn't go. This became his personal matter. Someone is targeting him, and he must find out. Be it pirates or revolutionary army, Lucas doesn't have a fear or a concern about the method he has to use in order to achieve his purpose.

After a big argument, Lucas said he will go. Lilia felt warmth as she knew she could do nothing when he acted like that, but she felt that conflict may happen between him and her mother. Some girls were hearing secretly, with some snail open, and surprisingly, they decided to support Lucas whatever he chose.

"Lucas, but, aren't you going to fight for Fleet Admiral's rank, along with Domino and Kizaru... Even if you can make it on the right day, you would have to be careful. If one of the World agents had seen you, you would be in troubles." Lilia said.

Lucas sighed and took off his black shirt, then he took some clothes from under his desk. At first, he put a white suit before a dark opened suit above it, and then, a black hat, and then he took a black rapier.

"Impossible." Calorina could recognize the famous pattern Lucas is copying. "Are you going to pretend to be Zorro," she shouted in shock.

But then, something refreshed her memory. Lilia was looking at the black rapier, which Zorro was famous by using. But in fact, she knew that only Lucas was using such type of sword to hunt pirates in East Blue.

"No, he is indeed Zorro."

Lucas nodded at Lilia, as he wouldn't go as Lucas this time. He doesn't care if the world government find out. He can always sneak to the holy land after the title is recharged. No one can stop Lucas with his current strength. But he didn't want to bother his ass with troubles at his days before retirement.

As for Big Mom, Lucas has enough confidence that he can stand against her. He too has overpowered fruit, and skills, plus very fine swordsmanship that is on level of Great Swords Grandmaster.

Calorina, who was shocked, looked at Lucas and at Lilia, as the two revealed two big secrets. The girl she treated as the closest friend, had countless threesomes with, and even had s.e.x and slept within the bed, was a daughter of a pirate. On the other hand, the most shocking news, the cousin she knew for most of his life, is a Warlord.

Calorina felt that she is dreaming.

"What's wrong with you two."

For the god sake, she had s.e.x with both Lucas and Lilia, yet she didn't know they have such deep secrets.

Lilia extending her tongue mockingly, before she gave Calorina a kiss on her the neck, "you never asked."

"You are acting like that time, to avoid extra hours of work."

"You know me well."

Both of them smiled.

It was decided then. Lucas would go to Big Mom and make her help him in a way or another.

Suddenly, the door of Lucas's office got open.

The girls who were listening, or spying actually, decided to go with Lucas.

"I'll come with you."

From the door, Sadi, Alvida, Domino, and Ain entered, giving the three a shock.

"Master... I'll follow you." Ain exclaimed as her red eyes were opened wide, and she slammed her chest. "I'll make them vanish from the history if they messed with you."

Alvida looked at Ain and wanted to kill her, but suppressed her intention.

"I'll come as well." Domino nodded her head.

"When did you listen?" Lucas asked, lifting his eyebrow and glaring at each girl that had entered his office.

Calorina narrowed her eye and went to Lucas's desk and found a little snail sleeping beneath it. The snail was active. "Who did this," she turned and looked at the girls.

Lucas massaged his temple... he almost made that mistake. Well, it won't be bad if he took Sadi with him, since she had the powers rival Blackbeard.

As for Domino, who became an Admiral officially, would have to stay here. There is about more than a week for Fleet Admiral rank fight, and if he can't go, Domino should fight with Aokiji to hand him the rank later.

"I, I was worry about you doing something reckless, and so I had to watch you," Alvida said. After many drinking and 'who can eat more' competitions with Calorina, she became a friend with her. As for the snail, she put it there, out of fear she may get out of control.

"Thanks for worrying." Calorina lowered her head in defeat.

"Just, let's drink after this over and see if you can win this time," Alvida said. Looking at Lucas, who wore like Zorro, she didn't look surprised, but instead, she said, "So, it was really you."

"You knew?" Lucas said, shocked.

"After arresting Crocodile, I had investigated the baroque work members. They said that Zorro appeared a few days after you took a vacation, and he was a strong swordsman. When you disappeared, Zorro appeared, and when you went back to work, we barely heard any of him. I and Hina assumed it is you all along."

Alvida said, patting her hair and showing that she isn't just a pretty girl, but has a brain.

Everyone looked at Lucas, who was wearing like Zorro, but no mask or hair adjusting.

After a bit argument, Lucas looked around the room to see if there are some snails are recording what is going on, but there was nothing.

After visiting the other girls and instructing them to watch over the place, Lucas decided to take a group with him, to find his aunt and uncle, and of course, the one who targeted him personally.

Lucas had sworn that he would show the responsible a fate worse than death, a fate that Doflamingo wouldn't wish to suffer.

At the night, Lucas sent a report to HQ, saying that he is sick and he needed a few days-break.

The HQ wasn't calm after what happened a few days ago, as Akainu, after his battle, had entered a long coma because the overdose of lightning had burned his internal organs and damaged his nerves, plus, the bones Lucas broke.

Usually, as a logia user, he can heal himself as he can manipulate the shape of his body. But unfortunately for Akainu, Lucas took his fruit away from him after he beat him.

The sick Sengoku asked Lucas to go back as fast as possible, and Lucas hangs the call, saying, 'K, I just caught cold and when it's over, I'll come'.

At night, Lucas took Lilia, Calorina, Lucci and Sadi with him to a boat and made it move. Those had very strong Devil Fruits that would make it easier to deal with the rest. That was true in case of Sadi and Lucci, who was an unstoppable weapon when she turns into her hybrid form that had the same size of a Sea Monster, but the limbs and the power of a human on the land. Lilia was at a very high level in swordsmanship, so with Dice Fruit, things would go easy; Calorina's size fruit allowed her to multiply her strength by increasing her size, without forgetting that her base form was already strong.

This squad was enough for Lucas to take in risky places.

Before leaving, he made sure to tell Domino, Hina and Nami and the other girls to take care of the base. In case something urgent happened, they have to call him.

Now, Lucas, stealthily, wearing a mask and standing tall at height of 3.8 meters along with the girls who were the same (using fruit ability to change their size so no one recognises his group. If Lucas is known to be normal human, no one can relate him to this Zorro) and made his way to one of the most dangerous territories in the New World.
