Marineforde, the Navy HQ: Lucas had a meeting with the other officers and Admirals since there would be a battle that will happen four days later.
"Tell me," Gion was sitting next to Lucas, her hand on his shoulder and there was a concerning look on her face. "Are you eating well, sleeping well. You should take a break if it is too much for you."
Gion heard about what happened to his home island, and she had been concerned ever since; this is the first time he showed his face hereafter that incident.
"Ah," Lucas looked at Gion's ruby eyes and thanked her. "Thanks."
Gion, since ever heard about his problem, did her best to help. She even passed to East Blue and investigated in Paradise, looking for a string to find kidnappers. Lucas was thankful for her.
"You don't need to force that smile," Gion said, feeling a bit ached. Since she looked a lot for them, and there is no clue, she thought that they may be dead. She didn't want Lucas to have a fake hope, but she didn't want him to lose it.
"It's okay, anyway, how is your life as Admiral."Lucas decided to change the topic, and Gion decided to talk about something else.
"Horrible," said Gion, rolling her eye at him.
"I see, paper works ruined your life," Lucas replied, mocking.
"Well... that reminds me, how can you deal with them efficiently."
"Experience." Lucas shrugged his shoulder.
As they were in the midst of their chat, the door got opened and Sengoku entered; he was quite pale and was holding a goat in his arms. Sengoku, who became a General Inspector after leaving Fleet Admiral rank, got to his place, and the meeting began.
At this topic, they discussed the possibilities of what is going on, few things necessary, before heading to the main topic – the next leader to the Navy.
"Lucas, are you ready. With a lot of going in your life, I think you should focus more on your troubles." Sengoku said, remembering what he had talked about with the Five Elders. "I don't think it's proper to forget what's important."
Sengoku made an apology look.
Apparently, the CP0 had found some clues, but they never revealed it to Lucas. That was a piece of information that can't be revealed to him. Otherwise, no one would know what he may do. Especially, considering that Lucas's strength is important to the Navy.
Mainly, it's because they didn't want a mercenary like Lucas to have control over the Navy – so he may stop fooling around. That what the elder's thoughts– but the ancestors' rules allow him to fight since they believed that only the strongest can survive. Strength is what allowed the World Government to survive for 800 years.
Sengoku didn't want Lucas to become the Fleet Admiral, that's why he brought that topic. I mean, would you let 16 years old have the fleet, even if he was very strong. Management is different from swordsmanship.
"I think you should only care about your goat,." Lucas said, calmly, "and finding a girlfriend."
Sengoku furrowed his eyebrows and said, "I know you have a lot of troubles, think well, you may regret when you become older. Is ranking more important than family?"
Sengoku had some pity. According to what he knows, Lucas and his cousin have no chances to find their family, and the World Government won't do a help, either to anger them on pirates or to assure those valuable fighters as themselves won't act on their own.
Well, politicians are bitches, thought Sengoku.
"SENGOKU, do you have to Remind Him?" Gion could clearly see that Lucas is annoyed with Sengoku's word, and shouted at the previous Fleet Admiral.
"I'm talking with him, not to you Gion." Sengoku said, turning to Lucas, "Listen to me, I'm older and I know your best."
"Can you stop me," Lucas asked Sengoku, "at last meeting, I had been one of the three who is chosen? If there is a law or a way to stop me, be my guest. If not, stop being annoying and care about your business."
"Ha~, when it comes to working, you are worse than me," Sengoku said. His eyes then swept to the ones who are supposed to fight. Maybe, Sengoku can make a strategy.
Domino seemed to have an advantage on Lucas because of the nature of the lightning and its internal effect on the human. Aokiji seemed to have a chance against Domino, but they're still the speed of lightning and the clouds she can hide into. But that is not enough to know the outcome of the battle. And there are equal chances between him and Lucas.
Only if Kizaru fought, then things would have gone much easier.
Lucas sighed as he looked at Domino's purple eyes. At worse case, she would take the seat. "Admiral Domino, I count on you," Lucas said. Domino blushed and replied at Lucas, "Just call me, Domino."
In the end, Lucas confirmed his participation four days later.
-x-X-x-
Two days later.
Lucas was at the New World, at the sky, relaxing with angels. After he got some good time, he went back to his base, below his palace and continued to observe things carefully. As he was in his office, smoking, his door was slammed open.
Lilia entered through the door; her expression seemed to be excited and anxious at the same time. In her hand, there is a snail. It was pink, had a pink hair, and facial features of the old Big Mom.
Seems that Linlin didn't have time to update... (down-date?) her snail.
"Mama had sent you a letter, she told you tomorrow to come and meet her crew at this location..." Lilia said and told Lucas where Big Mom
"You mean."
"Yeah, she found evidence," Lilia started to explain with a serious face, "her network are making their way back, with the information, she told me to tell you to meet them first. By tomorrow, they would cross the Red Line."
"At last." Lucas stood up quickly from his chair. Sure, after this, his cousin would have her smile back again.
Lilia ran at him and jumped, hugging him.
"Did you tell Calorina?" Lucas asked Lilia.
"No, if she knew she would go berserk. I would do that if I were her."
"Good." Lucas nodded, "keep it like this."
"By the way," Lilia left his embrace and looked at his eyes, before saying, "Mama had said something else."
"What is it?"
Lucas narrowed his eyes, wondering what Linlin wants.
"She had enjoyed the s.e.x, and she is waiting for you on Friday," Lilia said, not believing that she is telling her lover to go and bang her mother. It may seem hard to tell Lucas that. But she had a threesome with Linlin and stripped her to have s.e.x with Lucas. Not only so, but Lilia as well held her Mama's b.o.o.b.s from behind, rested her own chest on her back, and squeezed them to help her get in the mood. It was like Lilia and Lucas shared Big Mom. Lilia felt satisfaction about what she had done and guilt as well.
Lucas smiled, remembering the charming Linlin. She is worthy to stay by his side, his strongest bitch so far. "Though, I banged her yesterday. Sure. Tell your Mom I'll ram her later."
"Oh, she would yell. Mama-mama."
Lilia made a joke and laughed, "Now, make me say, Papa." She said, approaching his neck and landing a kiss there.
"Well, for a girl who just told me about a serious situation, you are horny as well," Lucas smirked, his hand swept to her neck and reached bellow her shirt, caressing her smooth soft chest.
