Chapter 251

Another day came and the sun rose.

Today was a very special day at the navy, as a new powerhouse would raise, a new Fleet Admiral would take over the lead of the fleet.

This would happen after a battle between the three candidates: Admiral Aokiji, Admiral Domino, and Military Consoler Lucas.

The result was looked up to by all the higher-ups, as the history of the Navy would change.

Though Lucas had planned lot and lot for this day, Kaido had called him stealthily and made a simple threat when exchanging the hostages. If his watching men don't see Lucas moving in a ship, and heading toward Wano alone with his daughter, Kaido would kill one of Lucas's relatives and there would be an exchange for one person to another.

Now, Lucas can always get rid of the new Fleet Admiral, in case it wasn't Domino, but he can't revive the dead.

Kaido is a maniac who almost killed his daughter on a wimp. You call tell that there are limits to what you can play the drunk maniac for.

But well, Lucas has fulfilled ½ of his promises as he already had loved with Kaido's daughter – it was exceptionally good and full of emotions. Not only did he found Yamato lovable, but he gave her a gift, which would surprise her father when they reach Wano. That strong girl got one, very strong devil fruit, and bless from Lucas's fruit.

On one random island, at a high peak, standing on a tower was a man wearing a black suit, and had some fake horns on his forehead, which meant that he belongs to the Beast Pirates.

That man was holding a telescope and looking toward the sea, to one ship.

"Ah, I can see young master Yamato there."

The man nodded as he saw Yamato standing on the deck and wearing her usual mask. "Mister Kaido would be happy with the news." The man assumed that Lucas is inside the cabin and they were heading toward Wano.

Above the sea, on that particular ship that Kaido's man was watching.

Yamato, who was sitting, was holding a cup of glass, trying to control her strength.

Before coming here, Lucas gave this girl, who was already strong enough to block Luffy's third gear while chatting with him to calm down as the man was blown in rage, a boost in her strength. "Come on, I have the blessing of Kami Guru. I can control my boosted power."

Yamato's hand turned red, and the cup suddenly started to melt as magma was filling it, and melting the glass without breaking it. After a brief, she took a deep breath and turned her head to look at the cabin, where Lucas was supposed to be.

Yamato let a sigh and moved her head to the side and looked at the door of the cabin. Lucas would be here very soon, as they had already planned what to do.

Yamato remembered what Lucas told her, after filling her w.o.m.b with the life serum, 'Yamato, let's go to someone and make you a Vivre card.'

'But, Lucas... are you going, without him knowing. What if my gorilla father found out...'

'Don't worry, I have a quick business, once I'm done, I'll pick you and we would be at Wano before the evening.'

Yamato sighed again as she looked to the near island, her eyes were fixed on one far tower.

Her hand suddenly turned red, smoke flew above it, as it turned into a magma fist.

The fruit Lucas gave her was originally belonging to Akainu, but because of the Ultimate Potentials Unlocker that she got almost a month ago, Yamato was able to learn how to control her strength. Along with the boost strength provided by Lucas, plus her original strength, nothing would come in her way.

Yamato looked in the direction of the man who was hiding in the tower and making a report to her father. She clenched her fist and punched in the air, her magma fist flew out of her hand, heading toward the tower with amazing speed, almost unnoticeable.

*BAM*

Very soon, the lava hit that tower, and because of the pressure, it exploded, before it burned and got smoke flew above it.

"Stupid Gorilla never had been a parent, now he acts like this because he wants that stupid long-nosed shrimp for him.

"Humph."

Yamato humped her cheeks and snorted as she turned her head and thought about the one person that made her feel like a woman.

Kaido, her father had one miscalculation. He didn't know about Lucas's speed. Once Lucas is done from his little business, he would come here, and both of them would start the 'Hostage Saving Operation'

****

New World: Punk Hazard.

This was the island where the World Government scientists used to work.

But because of Caesar Clown's action, one year ago, of unleashing a deadly weapon – a deadly gas bomb – this big island was covered by deadly gas, which made desolate.

One year later, this island was purified from the deadly gas mysteriously, as the World Government didn't know how it did happen. But they knew that this is a place, other than trees, there are no life forms. It's safe to hold a battle here between the very strong people.

Because that no one lived here, the Navy decided to hold the battle of the next Fleet Admiral right in this place.

A bit far from the beach, there were about 5 battlesh.i.p.s; all were here to witness the battle that would determine the next page of history.

Would there be the first female Fleet Admiral, or, the youngest Fleet Admiral, or the laziest (coldest) Fleet Admiral?

"Domino, stay on the side."

Lucas said as he looked at the people in front of him.

Behind Aokiji, a 2.9 meters tall tanned man, there was a long and big green forest.

Aokiji put his hand on a tree, looked at Lucas, and said with an amused tone, "Ho, you think she will listen to you."

Aokiji didn't think that the lightning woman, who could make Akainu lose, to listen to Lucas. Though her fruit may not work on some sustains, for a human, the high voltage of lightning would harm them even if they had strong bodies since internal organs and brain can't be trained to a high degree.

Domino, who was standing on the side while wearing her new Admiral coat, walked slowly toward Lucas as she adjusted her hair and pushed it from the right side of her face.

Seeing her walking, Aokiji thought that something dramatic would happen: 'what would it be, a slap, a stoke of lightning while saying don't underestimate me. You are s.e.xist... No, she kissed him. Whatever. It's not my business.'

"Fine Lucas." Domino smiled as she stood in front of Lucas, lifting her head and thinking that he had grown since the first time they met. She held him by the neck and kissed him on his lips, a passionate kiss.

Aokiji didn't believe his eyes as he saw how Lucas grabbed her from the hair and kissed her with a very strong passion.

"They are lovers, I see." He let a sigh and murmured, "it's bad for a lonely man like myself to see such a thing."

Domino patted Lucas's blonde hair and said, "If you want my help, just call me, and I'll locate this Iceman."

Aokiji rested his hand on a tree and smiled, 'how cute.'

"Sure, go."

Lucas patted her head, he felt that his back was heavy. After all, he didn't tell Calorina about the satiation, and he would have to finish things very quickly.

This fight must not be delayed for more than one hour, or the consequences would be severe.

And Lucas has to find an excuse to be absent for a couple of days after he directly gets his promotion.

Damn it, this all is because of them Kaido and Usopp.

Domino smiled, as she could tell how Lucas is feeling, "Don't worry, I'll be here on your side, Fleet Admiral."

"Yes, Admiral–"

"Young generation, first lesson, everything is fair in love and war," Aokiji said, and the battle started.

"ICE AGE." With a loud declaration, from the tree that Aokiji had his hand on, Ice started to spread at a fast rate, making the ground, the trees, and everything on its way.

Domino was able to react quickly, thanks to the enhanced Haki by her Devil Fruit, an instant, she turned into a lightning bolt and appeared on a far peak.

Lucas, on the other side, jumped up slightly, only 3 centimeters higher from the ground, as the Ice spread from there.

As Lucas's feet landed, he could see how the trees and the grass became snowy white. Everything froze.

'I see, tricky bastard, he is planning to limit my movements.'

Lucas could feel that the ground was sliding as the ice was covering the land and not the sea.

Of course, running on a surface like this frozen place, with high speed, would cause him to slip and maybe fall.

Aokiji was making a solution for Lucas's famed speed. "You could avoid freezing, congratulation."

Aokiji's body then turned into Ice grains before it fell on the ground.

It seems that he is aware of Lucas's power, and instead of attacking, is using wits.

"Never expected you to be this sly." Lucas murmured as his face flinched.

The atmosphere was cold, very cold, even for Lucas. It reminded him of when he fought a bear when he started training at the Elite Camp.

*Pss* *Pss*

With his Haki, Lucas could feel tens and tens of long sharp ice spears coming from him from every direction – each one was longer than 3 meters.

Lucas put his hand inside his pant's pockets. As the ice spears got very close, Lucas exhaled. *BAM* A shockwave flew around his whole body, destroying everything in 10 meters diameter, including the Ice Spears, the frozen tree, and grass.

Walking out of the deep hole that was caused by a casual Six King Gun used by his whole body, Lucas said, "Show yourself, I don't have time."

Closing his eyes, and unleashing his Haki very deeply through this island, Lucas gasped. It seems that Aokiji had frozen more than half of this island already.

'He is planning to long this battle.' Lucas flinched, as Aokiji isn't fighting him directly and is using tricks.
