Chapter 256

As the events were progressing smoothly, hundreds of kilometres away from Wano, there was a giant blue Eastern Dragon, and a bone wyvern behind him, flying toward one direction.

Kaido, after knowing about that his daughter was inside a ship with Lucas who was coming toward Wano, he decided not to wait and went to rescue her.

There is no way he would let her get f.u.c.k.i.e.d by that Little Beast.

But the main object Kaido wanted to achieve more was to make Lucas pay the price, beat his ass, then bring him back to Wano, so Kaido can break him.

Behind Kaido was Usopp, who could catch up to him from far and was observing.

Usopp had been calm all along. As the sunglasses covered his eyes, he glared at Kaido, a different from the usual one. A purple aura started to float from him, making a skull shape. But it soon disappeared as Usopp started to mutter, "Not yet, not yet."

Kaido could hear Usopp and said while flying, "what do you mean but not yet."

Usopp snapped, lifted his hands, and said with a smile, a confused tone, "I mean we haven't reached yet, we must go faster."

"Ho..." Kaido let a snort.

The Blue Dragon didn't say more words and continued his way.

Usopp's expression turned cold again and followed behind Kaido, his eyes on the dragon.

Back at Wano, Udon:

Lucas entrance and his surprise to see unexpected people here, made the attention draw to them.

"We will help."

Hajrudin and the other giants, who had been kicked by Lucas in Dressrosa, threw the stones in their hands and wanted to fight – though, the guards looked to be very strong.

With his ability to increase the gravity, Lucas was able to pin them on the place with a simple tap on the ground, with his foot.

The pirates, or here, rather named the guardians, since they are the rules here, couldn't move at all either stand. All of them felt like they were getting crushed by the gravity that became heavier than ever.

Lucas, of course, didn't stop here. After closing his eyes, extending his Haki's range, he could feel the places where the officials of this prison are sitting, standing, and some are even answering call of the nature.

Using his awakening ability, he can choose any location to use his power from far. Lucas increased the gravity beneath their feet to the degree that they weren't able to move - they started to sink on the ground.

"I thought you were super physical fighter type," Gerd said, looking at Lucas, who beat all of her crew the last time. Now, looking at everyone around, from a better angle, she could tell that even the officers who are by the window are tied by his ability.

Lucas moved his eyes left and right, his Haki told him that this prison is under his control.

But that wasn't enough. Focusing his Conqueror Haki on the pinned people, Lucas unleashed a kind of spiritual momentum that made the wind move. The staff of this prison couldn't handle the combination of the strong gravity and the momentum crushing their will. They lost their consciousness.

'At least Haki came to use.'

He then swept his eyes around to see people trying to approach the guards in order to take the keys from them. But unfortunately, they couldn't approach the spots that Lucas had the gravity increased in.

"I'll ask again, have you seen a blonde middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man. Both of their eyes are blue," said Lucas, coldly, walking around, and taking his sword, before waving it at Gerd and the others.

Unconsciously, they raised their hands in defence, fearing what can a swords Grandmaster can do.

"What!"

Gerd, Hajrudin, and other lucky prisoners looked at their shackles that got cut.

It was a rare sight to see sea stone getting cut like that and fall to the ground.

Though Sea stone can cancel Devil Fruit abilities, it only works when the Sea Stone touches the user and not his power.

(Remember, Law's Room could move and manipulate Sea Stone, yet, when he got touched with it, he lost his power. Sea Stone is only effective when it touches the user's body and not the user's power...)

Hajrudin rubbed his wrist and looked at Lucas, before kneeling down. "I'll follow you with my life from now and on."

"We owe you,"

Someone who looks like a Japanese samurai kneeled as well.

"No need, just answer me," Lucas said, as he turned and walked toward the prisoners.

Those guys are based on Vikings and Sengoku Era's Samurais, so they should at least know how to repair favour.

Hajrudin stood up as he started looking around, looking for his helmet. Though he didn't know how to answer Lucas, he decided to look through the cells, since they may contain what he is looking for.

"JOHN, Caroline. Get Out If You Are Here." Lucas yelled as he was cutting the cells and the masks whenever he passed by a person.

"Excuse me... I think I know them." Gerd said, looking at Lucas who went to the people with masks, ripping their disguise one by one. "What is their names again."

Lucas suddenly stopped and turned to her, "you mean."

Gerd let a weak smile before she sat down on her butt, and stretching her legs. Thought she heard Lucas saying their names, she wanted to confirm what she had heard, "John and Caroline. Both of them are from East Blue."

Lucas felt his heart pound faster now, and in no time he was in front of her face, holding her cheeks.

"Yes, quickly, tell me."

Once these two are found, he would start wrecking Wano country.

Gerd forced a smile smiled as she put her hand on her hip, "Lucas, let me breathe, you are too close... Do you still remember how things end up last time?"

Lucas stopped and went to the ground. A memory of what happened that day.

'Let me check you, stop moving, I won't bite.'

'Fine, but you would take responsibility if you touched the wrong part.'

'Fufufu, sure.'

A flashback made Lucas calm. 'Ops, I touched the wrong part... would you arrest me.'

Lucas let a sigh.

"No need to mention that. I got tricked"

"Fufufu... you kissed back as I remember." Gerd held her lip, still remembering Lucas's funny reaction, it was a mix of fluffiness and horrifies. But he inserted his tongue. "I could feel it though."

"You know, I looked for you since then (his fruit was upgraded), but you left Dressrosa." Lucas sighed; his face was solemn and didn't look good. "But we will talk about that later. "

Gerd's lips made O shape. "I didn't know you would look for me... did you really..."

"Later." Lucas looked around, "I'm quite busy now."

"Right."

The people around had ears, looked at the two with 'What!' face.

"Few days, or weeks ago – I don't remember how exactly much had passed since I'd lost count because the pain would change how you feel time..." Gerd said, patting her injured skin, showing an itch on her face. "When we were captured by one ship belonged to Jack and sent back here. I have been treating the prisoners secretly."

"Sorry that you had to pass by that."

"...It's okay. Anyway; two new persons had been thrown here... both of them were injured badly, broken... and as a Doctor, I couldn't leave them."

Lucas, at that moment, turned his face to one mountain.

He felt that it was a good decision that he didn't bring Calorina here; otherwise, she may have gone berserk.

"After I had treated them, I heard that both of them were from East Blue and this is their first time seeing Giants. Out of curiosity, I asked some questions to know that they were kidnapped from a small country.

"Now, thinking about it, both have your second name."

Lucas looked around, "are they here."

"No, yesterday, the two of them were taken."

Lucas flinched. Yesterday was the day he and Kaido had a good chat in the DenDenMushi.

"May I know why you are looking for these?"

"My relatives..." Lucas lowered his head.

Though he wasn��t a family's man, he knew the two of them and met them occasionally in the long time he spent in East Blue.

"Please forgive me for not repaying the favour," Hajrudin said, feeling sorry that he was useless, and

Gerd closed her mouth and stepped back. So, this is why he is here. "Sorry for that, I didn't know–"

"Since you treated them, I want to know." Lucas asked Gerd," How bad their injuries were."

"Though the answer may be hard for you to hear... their weak bodies had many blue and red marks around them. Around seven or eight broken bones, many other permanent injuries. It would be a miracle if they lived for another year without necessary treatment."

"I see," Lucas let a snort as he walked around. He then smirked.

He smile didn't show happiness, his face didn't show emotion, but his shaking clenched fist showed hesitation to do something.

Though he can't expose his identity to the beast pirates now or alert them of his existence, Lucas can give them something they can only blame the nature for.

"Lucas, it's okay, we'll get out and fight with you."

Many prisoners around agreed and felt that they need to repay the favour somehow.

"I was with the Kuzoki clan, and I'll repay your debt of freeing us."

"As a Samurai, I'll repay my debt; otherwise, my honour won't let me sleep."

Lucas lifted both of his hands, before sinking them to the ground."No guys, you get out and stand on the corners."

"Now, can you get out?" Lucas said, increasing his strength, and trying to pull a large piece from the ground.

"Do you need..." Gerd was trying to help Lucas, who must be facing a quite hard time now.

"No, just stand on the corner. And get as far as possible from the factory."

After some words, a yell, and firm orders, everyone got out and left the mines of Kaido.

As everyone got out, Lucas, whose hands were sinking in rocks, had his size and strength increased to a degree that would shock anyone who sees him.

A large piece of stone was pulled off. It was almost the entire mine. Suddenly, that piece started to shrink in his hand, until it looked like a very large rock that Lucas held above his head.

However, in fact, it was very much larger, yet was decreased 180 times.

Lucas then looked at the sky.

Around him, he could feel Kaido's chemical weapons factory.

Honestly speaking, Lucas was frustrated, and he needed to make someone pay the price.

Lucas threw the rock to the sky, which was originally shrunk. The rock regained its original size as it reached the sky. It was big enough to make a shadow.

But that wasn't enough. Lucas was looking for a disaster.

Lucas aimed his finger up <<Awakening: More-More. Size 180 times.>>, then a compressed air left his finger.

The clouds were pushed now.

Away from the factory, the prisoners got out as Lucas told them.

They were walking on flat land while looking behind them

"Why do you think he told us to move away?"

"I don't know."

Gerd sighed as she was holding a huge axe.

"Look." Some samurai shouted, his finger pointing to the sky.

Gerd turned her face to Hajrudin, to see her captain's face shaking.

The factories were covered by a black shadow. Above them, the clouds moved away as something was falling from there.

It was so big, very big enough to cover the land with its shadow and turn it into the night to Udon.

"A disaster..." Someone commented.

That was a meteor, a real one. Even the clouds were being pushed back.

Everyone was running now instead of walking. This is a meteor. The impact itself would be enough to harm them... well; this may not apply with the ones who had oddly strong physique. Well, in fact, everyone has an extremely strong physical body, even the weakest on.

This situation made them even forgets that Lucas was the one to tell them to go away.

***

Back to the prison, Lucas was lifting his head and looking at the meteor, which he created – a large rock increased 180 times.

"Now, my hopes are all in Sugar." Lucas sighed.

Although he sent a meteor to destroy and kill Kaido's minions here, along with the factories, he isn't satisfied. Smoking a bit, which started to feel useless since his physique is strong, Lucas shook his head.

"Still, I feel like to beat someone."

avoiding the meteor he had created using his Devil Fruit Power, Lucas vanished in thin air.
