Chapter 259

After getting the information about the whereabouts of his relatives, Lucas and the girls moved, after getting rid Queen of course, since no one knows what may happen and that man is very strong when he isn't a toy. Now, Kaido has one Disaster left, without counting the secret one, Usopp.

It was the late morning and it was quite cold, yet warm air. Wano was a beautiful country, and spring was the dominant season here.

The place that they decided to was located in Onigashima.

Onigashima is a mountainous island that is very difficult to access outside the front gate, which connects directly to the sea, allowing sh.i.p.s to sail in. The waters surrounding the island are apparently lined with whirlpools that make navigating around it nearly impossible unless one utilizes specialized watercraft like a submarine. Thunderstorms are very frequent and even blizzards can happen, sometimes independent to the rest of the island.

Lucas and Yamato were walking aside each other, the east of the island which was next Wano. After Viola confirmed the existence of two masked people in that specific place, Yamato was the one to accompany him.

"Why are you nervous," asked Lucas as he turned to the Dragon girl.

Yamato had a calm face, yet her heart was pondering faster.

For her whole life, she had been raised here. When she wanted to leave this place and sail, her father beat her so badly and placed explosive shackles on her wrist, which would explode once she leaves the domain of this city

"Well, you see," Yamato said, looking at one building's door. "This is a brothel." Yamato said while looking carefully left and right, "one of the places that Viola avoided looking at."

The two of them were sitting next to a shop, looking two hundred meters away.

Lucas looked at that far building, narrowing his eyes.

He has to approach carefully and silently if he wanted to rescue the two. But, why Yamato's heart is quite nervous when she had seen that place. Was she afraid that he would go there and bang the p.r.o.s.t.i.t.u.t.es that are working inside?

But soon, he quickly knew the answer.

Suddenly, the big door of the brothel opened, and someone got out. Yamato, seeing that person, flinched and turned her face, Lucas was looking at her.

"Quickly, don't make eye contact," Yamato said, turning her face.

Though the people usually know her here as Kaido's son, some know her very well.

"What do you mean," Lucas said, seeing her bending her back down and avoiding looking at the right side. "Do we need to fight?"

"I rather not with this one." Yamato greeted her teeth while trying to hide herself using Lucas's body, which was a silly action.

Lucas narrowed his eyes as his curiosity started to pock him. Why Yamato is acting like this. If this was a person to threaten the mission's success, he would understand, but he didn't as he didn't feel a very strong aura. But Yamato didn't seem to want to fight, but to avoid that person specifically.

The ground was shaking slightly as heavy steps were approaching them. Lucas turned and saw the person that Yamato had been trying to avoid, and he had to lift his head high this time to see who.

You know, your classical white girl: blonde hair, a flawless blue eyes, beautiful like a flower, and tall, except... She was standing there, holding a long smoke pipe as she walked toward them.

Black Maria was her name, though her skin was white jade. How ironic.

Black Maria was a youthful woman of large size by human standards, at 8.2 meters tall being similarly large as Kaido and big mom. Her long blonde hair is styled like a geisha's, with two swords notably being part of its arrangement.

She has a pair of long, slightly curved white red horns atop her head, wears prominent lipstick, and carries a long smoking pipe. She wears a low-cut dark kimono that leaves her right shoulder exposed and an obi around her waist, both with floral patterns.

Lucas stared at her, there was a lot of space to stare at, especially her face, which looked to be extremely pretty.

Lucas thought remembering one page of the manga, which made his face ugly. Black Maria was one of Kaido's minions, and she always takes the initiative to approach him when he is around. But Kaido ignores her and focus on his drink.

He turned to Yamato and asked, "Is she your mom."

"No, stepmom. Do I look big as her or that gorilla? My mother was a human-like you... though I didn't know her," Yamato said. Obviously, her mother was someone from a human size. Otherwise, she would have grown to be like Kaido if Maria was her mother. "But I can say she is a figure like that."

"She knows me..." Yamato murmured as she lowered her voice. Once Maria spots them, things may go rough.

'A figure like a mother.' Lucas turned his head and looked at Black Maria, who approached them to the degree it was hard to spot her face.

'why do I feel that I had a promise that I shouldn't break.'

Wait for a second, now this makes logical... She isn't the mother, but maybe someone who has a crush on Kaido.

Seeing her approaching, Lucas pretended not to see her, as a cup full of wine appeared in his hand and he gulped while looking around like he is an innocent customer.

But seriously, what's wrong with this world.

First, Bakkin, a woman who is 60cm tall, claimed to have a child with Whitebeard, who is a giant himself.

Now, looking through the genetics, Yamato seems to be Kaido's daughter from an average woman. While Maria isn't the mother, she seemed to be someone from the same race as Yamato, as Maria had red horns while Yamato's were white with a black end.

'Ha, I'm lucky that I wasn't cursed by the people's curse...' Lucas thought in himself as he patted his crotch. Maybe it's not bad to be a normal person here. At least, Yamato screamed while getting it. 'Those Pirate Emperors are a bunch of bullies... no one of them can pick up on a woman of his size... except Shanks... but he is a v.i.r.g.i.n I guess.'

Suddenly, Black Maria's sandals stopped in front of them.

Yamato lowered her head while Lucas lifted it, staring at her as she took her pipe out.

"Yamato!" a voice came, Yamato kept turning her head and clenching on her macer.

Seeing there is no response, a stronger voice came, "Ya-Ma-To, look at me when I'm talking at you, girl. Or should I say, man?"

'What a drama.' Lucas took a sip and decided to watch a bit.

"Ha~" Yamato let a long sigh, lifting her head and looking at the woman who had similar dragon horns like her. "Hey, Maria."

"I see... you didn't escape really and hid here." Maria said as she couched down, "Do you know that your father was worried about you."

"That ugly gorilla isn't my parent!!!" Yamato stood up and yelled.

Since she is exposed to be here, Yamato may fight this Maria, though she wasn't that willing.

Lucas was looking past her. There is a brothel, and in front of him was the owner. Besides that building, there should be the palace owned by Kaido. Here is a perfect chance for him. Kaido would return soon, and he would find things going out of his control. Taking control over that place means taking over Wano itself.

Lucas lowered his head, thinking that his promotion ceremony is going to happen soon, and he already left, while saying that he would rest down, in the cabin.

'My poor life... maybe I should have opened a company and lived like a rich man.'

Maria reached her pipe and made a circle of smoke before talking. "Poor child... but did you really have to pretend to run. Now, there is a war of hostages between him and some Fleet Admiral Candidate called Lucas is going over you. Ha, you are troublesome, Yamato."

Lucas took another sip while glaring at Maria who didn't look at him.

"Humph, he is only looking for me because he wants me to marry that long-nosed Necromancer fruit eater." Yamato yelled, "And Lucas would kick him anyway."

Lucas narrowed his eyes upon hearing Black Maria and Yamato talking. He looked at Maria, though she is huge – which doesn't matter in Lucas's case – she had a very pretty figure, a beautiful face, with blue eyes and long blonde hair, pink full lips that are seducing. Without forgetting how pretty her skin was, or that her b.r.e.a.s.ts were huge, or that her ass was perky and plump, making a teardrop shape.

And most importantly, Lucas has yet to fulfil his promise.

"Ha. Poor child," Maria reached with her hand and patted Yamato's shoulder, before flinching. Did she say, Lucas would kick his ass? Now thinking about it, it seems that she had met him to talk like that. But how did she when it's hard to leave and come to Wano like that?

"Don't treat me like a kid," Yamato said. During her childhood, whenever Kaido beat her, Maria was the one to treat her and put her in her thighs. So, Yamato was kind of unwilling to fight. But there is an urgent mission.

"Wait." Black Maria opened her eyes and looked around and saw a handsome average man sitting next Yamato. He was blonde, looking to be handsome, muscular, and wasn't wearing a kimono-like the people of this country. And most importantly, he didn't look like a person from Wano.

She snapped and thought of it. Yamato may actually have left the country. Ever since she heard that Yamato became Lucas's hostage, she became worried. But now, Kaido's daughter is here, and she isn't hiding her chest like she used to do. Not only so, but there is someone who applies the description of the Marine, Lucas, and with Yamato, made her feel something bizarre.

"Who are you?" Black Maria asked Lucas, who lifted his eyes and stared at her in a chilly way.

Could it be that they were hiding in Wano all along and knew about the hostage, but Kaido was tricked to leave Wano? If this is true, then for how long Lucas had been planning. But no, they had reports that Lucas was at Marine HQ a few days ago.

Had Lucas knew what her brilliant mind concluded, he may hit his own head.

"Wait, Maria..." Shouted Yamato, trying to stop havoc, "we only want the two persons that father kidnapped..."

"My name Lucas"

"Fine." Before Lucas could answer, Maria stood up and picked up her pipe, "Yamato, and you, come inside."

Lucas and Yamato stared at each other.

Lucas nodded slightly with his head, as he was planning to enter here anyway.

"I'm keeping everything under watch,"

Lucas stood up and followed behind Maria while keeping everything under his Haki.

His lips' corners slightly went up. Kaido would face a big surprise when he comes here.

"Hey, that's not a respectable place for someone like you." Yamato followed quickly behind Lucas and held his shoulder, stopping him.

"What do you mean," Lucas said. It's just a brothel.

But then, all of the sudden, Yamato wrapped her arms around his waist and lifted him, hugging his head between her b.r.e.a.s.ts. "It's not the proper place. A man like you should stay away from a place like that. Just, my bedroom is enough."

Yamato had her eyebrows lifted and teeth clenched. Even her tone was so possessive now. Yamato had considered herself as a woman now because she had started a relationship with Lucas. There is no way she would allow her lover to go there.

She hugged him with more strength to her chest like a teddy bear.

Lucas's lips twitched. A brothel may be the best place for someone like him to make living.

"I'm just worried. In that place, countless men fell for. No, I won't allow the thots to stanch you from me. "

"Whatever," said Lucas, as he was focusing his Haki on one place inside the (geisha) brothel.

Black Maria turned her head slightly after hearing them before opening the door. "Yamato, hugging a man. What had changed."
