Chapter 266

Flying above the sea of the Grand Line, the new world, Lucas nodded his head after haring a group of notifications.

[Ding, the rest of the six Powers reached level 19

[Ding, Six King Gun up to level 19]

After beating Aokiji, Akainu, and many of Kaido's men, Lucas gained a lot of XP.

He just now used all of it to get stronger.

[Ding, DFM up to level 14 (0/20.000.000)

- Multiplier up to 200

- Host can increase three features at the same time to its max feature.

- Affecting living beings take 0.8 second

+ Immunity to Sea Stone.

+The ability to manipulate spiritual powers.]

Watching 10 million XP going out like that surely hurts to upgrade one level Devil Fruit Mastery.

But there was something that Lucas found it a bit odd, the ability to manipulate the spiritual powers.

Lucas wanted to use his observation Haki while testing this ability. However, just by intending, he understood what the system meant by spiritual powers.

Lucas felt that his range of Observation Haki had reached a very wide range compared to before. Not only so, but he could see the near future, for longer periods, and in a faster time.

Usually, Lucas can see only a few seconds to the near future, probably, 36 seconds. However, with his ability, the spiritual increasing, he could increase that duration to two hours. And what's best about it, only a time worth blink would pass by him in the real world.

Lucas suddenly stopped in the middle of the air, massaged his own head, feeling headache from what he saw.

Surely, seeing the future for longer than it's supposed to be won't be too good in battles. Especially when the future changes. However, it can come handy to see the bigger picture and prepare for wars in advance.

And surely, it would be very good when it comes to picking up women.

Anyway, during the extended future, Lucas saw that, with this new ability, he can use it in Swordsmanship when he is using his Soul Aura. It can also make Armament Haki stronger.

Testing would be left for later.

Now, he has to meet someone.

-x-X-x-

New World, Suitrossa, the naval base under the management of Lucas:

Inside one three stories house, which happened to be next the base were Lucas and the girls, lived after the first house was destroyed by Calorina:

"Calorina, come out," standing next to a closed-door, Lilia was knocking on the door and calling her friend. "It's the morning, and Lucas's ship is moving to the HQ; he is going to become the Fleet Admiral by the next day. You should at least call him you know."

"I'll do it later," Calorina yell reached Lilia's ear, "I need just some sleep."

"Ah," Lilia lowered her head, knowing what Calorina is going through. "If you need anything, come out quickly, or I'll cut the door."

"Sure." Calorina's voice was too lazy and seemed to be tired.

Lilia lowered her head and left. Things aren't going well for that girl. They didn't even sleep with each other for a week. That never happened in East Blue.

Lilia felt burden since Lucas told her not to tell Lilia that he found her parents. You can't tell what kind of danger she would throw herself if she knew that it was Kaido all along. Lilia felt that there is nothing she can do except leaving and waiting for the Fleet Admiral to come back and solve the problem they have. Or, they just have to move on.

Calorina was inside her room; a squared one with a large red bed and nice ceiling. The sun at the beginning of the day was shining, yet she didn't sleep.

*Snob* *Snob*

When she felt Lilia getting away, she put a pillow on her face.

Her breathes, which were calm, started to leave her mouth shaking. It started as a whisper, only to get stronger as time passes. The pillow became wetter. Calorina was using the pillow so the voice of her cries won't escape her mouth.

She always had maintained the appearance of a strong girl. But secretly, she was crushing inside. When she is around, she would never let anyone see her crying. But when she is alone, she can' help but to let these emotions control her.

"Mom... Dad..."

In the past, after Lucas's parents had died in a pirate attack, she had lived in that kingdom while managing a base, hoping to protect her family. She felt everything was fine; they were living a fancy palace that she left to her parent, and she has a lover to follow. She wanted to live her life again so she went back to New World, following her desire.

But now, as that house is attacked, she couldn't help but think: would it be different if she stayed and didn't leave.

She couldn't help but blame herself. Now, she is hugging the pillow, not daring to let a voice of her escape, and her tears were following freely.

"Mmm..." she let a long sad groan again.

However, she stopped, as she suddenly felt the presence of three people coming toward her room.

No way she would let them see her like that, not those girls. Yes, in this house, Only Lucas's girls have access to, and most of them spend their time messing in Navy.

Only Lilia, Alvida, and Kaya are here at this time of the day. By now, Kaya was pregnant, her belly was already fat, and there were only a few months before the birth. The blonde girl tried her best to help her in this crisis since her parents died as well; but unfortunately, Kaya's support wasn't enough, as she should be thinking about her baby.

Calorina quickly swept her tears and sniffed; but still, her reddened eyes can let anyone know what is going on. 'Okay, pretend to smile and no one would annoy me with questions.'

"Okay, you are safe. Knock the door and stay here." said a very familiar voice that came next to the door. "No need to fear, just knock on the door."

Calorina lifted her eyebrows. This is clearly Lucas's voice. Wasn't he supposed to be in his way to the HQ after winning the battle of the Fleet Admiral Rank?

What is he doing here?

And who's he talking to.

"No, I'm serious, you can enter."

Is he trying to have a foursome?

Calorina was one of the few who knew about the full extends of Lucas's abilities; blinding speed.

Could it be?

She shook her head on the silly idea, not wanting to have a fake hope to shatter. Since Lucas is here, she may hug him and have some privacy.

Besides, these should respect her desire and needs now. Calorina stood up, threw her tears, and decided to relieve herself to sleep.

Walking to the door, with no pants, only a bra covering her huge chest, Calorina made her way to the door in a very s.e.xy way, her bubble toned ass and thighs were exposed.

"Lucas." Calorina opened the door and leaned on its corner, letting her snowy jade cleavage, which got bigger, make a firmer appearance.

"Calorina." Lucas voice issued in her ears, it was somehow mocking her. 'And she will blush.'

As soon as the door got opened, Calorina could see Lucas standing next to a blonde woman and a black-haired man.

Both of them were in the mid of their age.

And both were her parents.

"Wait." Calorina looked at Lucas, then to the two, forgetting that she isn't wearing properly.

She was dazed.

Not only her, but both of middle-aged people were looking at her with shock, sorrow, and other feelings which were visible at their eyes.

"Is this a dream," Calorina said, questioning her eyes? Lucas was checking her out, the usual him, and looking at her b.o.o.b.s. The other two were looking at her emotionally.

"Calorina." The blonde woman quickly jumped and hugged Calorina, saying, with tears." I thought that I would never see you again."

"Mom." The half-n.a.k.e.d girl hugged her mom back. The feeling of her mother's soft flesh made Calorina tear and know that this was real; she isn't dreaming. "Mom, I thought..."

Lucas didn't know that he was smiling, as he saw his aunt's huge chest, crushing into his cousin's huger chest. It was a very pretty sight. He licked his lips.

"Lucas," The man, Josh, who was having mixed feelings of happiness and gratitude, felt safe, yet another feeling hit him.

Josh and his wife were both saved by Lucas, before finding themselves here.

"Yes."

"Did my daughter just pose to you?" Did Josh say, looking at Lucas?

"Long story short: yes. But does it matter, you are alive and that what you should focus on?"

"Sure," he said, narrowing his eyebrows at his nephew. Did he just say, be happy that you are alive?

"Jokes aside, wait until she wears something proper before you enter," Lucas said, provoking Josh, but he was serious. He was just telling Calorina's father to wait for his daughter to wear before he talks to her.

"Hey, I'm her daddy!" Josh defended himself. Unbelievable, Lucas is telling him when to see his daughter and not. It should be his right to be angry, and he should be the one to tell Lucas that, not the opposite.

"No, I Am," replied Lucas, his tone relaxed.

"HEY, both of you shut up!"

"Lucas!!!"

The mother and the daughter duo turned their heads and yelled. Lucas lifted his hands, while Josh shrunk in fear from his wife.

Calorina quickly jumped and hugged Lucas, burying her soft body in his, "Thank you..."

"I'll do anything for you." Lucas closed his hands on her back. Josh and his wife both smiled and felt gratitude that Lucas showed up at the right moment to save them from the scariest group they had ever seen.

Calorina's mood became many times better. She took her head back and stared at his eyes, happiness was taking over her.

"Did Linlin tell you about their location?"

"Yes."

"Tell me, who are they." Calorina half-closed her eyes; a chilling ray could be felt unleashing from them.

"Nothing, nothing really." Lucas said, touching her cheek, as he felt that she was angry "It's my problem now."

"I want to kill– the responsible."

But unfortunately, Caroline, her mom, spook, "I'm happy that Lucas arrived. We saw scary giants, scarier beasts. We have been forced to work at mines. There was even that Dragon guy who everyone calls, Kaido. The bastard knocked us out."

Josh shivered and hugged his arms. For a commoner from East Blue, that is the scariest thing he ever had seen. Even if he told all of his friends, no one would believe him.

Calorina turned her face and looked at her mother, Caroline, and made a horrified expression.

Did she just say that Kaido forced to work in mines?

That, Pirate Emperor.

Wait for a second; now she gets it. Lucas found out but didn't tell her on purpose. She turned to Lucas and glared with an angry face, grabbing his shoulders.

"Quickly, tell me, where is he." Calorina clenched her fists, her size started to extend until it reached the roof, "I'll kill him."

Her parents, at the side, rubbed their eyes.

"I think I had damaged my head." Caroline rubbed her head seeing her daughter turning into a scary person.

"You saw that too. I think you mean they grow fast. Now, I think I'm not dreaming." Josh said, explaining, "I guess, that what they call a Devil Fruit."

"Wait, she ate that fruit. I thought it was a legend."

Lucas slapped Calorina's hand from his shoulder.

"I will deal with him."

"No, that's my right. Stay here and enjoy a family reunion," Lucas said, pushing her hand from his shoulder.

"Listen, Lucas, I don't care what you think. I'm going and you are going to tell me." Calorina grabbed his shoulder again. She is angry now.

All of these tears she shreds, she would take them back.

"Just stop, you are scaring your parents," Lucas said.

Calorina turned her face to see her parents dazing from seeing her like that.

Quickly, deactivating her Devil Fruit power, she went normal and looked at Lucas, rubbing his hair gently. Taking a few heavy breaths, she calmed down and said, "Well, I guess I would do the same if I were you."

She smiled again at her parents, who forced smiles while saying they need a break, and realised that she needs to focus on important things now.

But she wouldn't forget what Kaido did. After the reunion, she would go.

"Fine, after your promotion, we will go to..." Calorina said, not going to forgive Kaido after hearing what he had done to her parents, not even after knowing his strength. "Where does he live again?"

"Now, Calorina, can you focus on important things," Lucas said. "Let's show them around, spend time with your mom, you always say you missed her but never went to visit.

"here some cash, go and shop."

Calorina nodded and went inside her room before changing her clothes. After all, it is here responsibility to host her parent here.

"Come on Mom, I'll show you a nice clothing store." "Sure, darling."

And so, Calorina, regaining her happy mood, took her mom and father around this kingdom in this city, along with Lucas, since he has to pay. They ate, play, toured, and even saw Lucas's base, but didn't get to know the other girls.

By the end of the hour, Calorina realised that someone was missing.

"Lucas."

After she let both of her parents take a nap inside her room, she looked for Lucas, but he was nowhere around.

Lucas was nowhere here.

Knowing him, then, one thing just happened.

"LUCASSS." She let a high yell that made the base shake and the birds fly.

Quickly, scanning around with her Haki, not finding him but finding a note.

She grabbed that note and read.

(Hey, Calorina, I have gone back to the HQ, you know, Fleet thing.

Take care of yourself, Big Sis, as you like me to call you.

Once everything is over, I'll come back, and we'll have to make up for the missed bedtime.

Then, we will deal with that lizard.

XoxO...)

"The bastard, he didn't even invite me. Humph."

Reading the note, Calorina had a warm smile on her face. The fear she had just now vanished and her mood became a hundred times better. Sure, she needs a break, and to see her friend that had been worry about her.

-x-X-x-

Meanwhile,

At Wano,

Lucas appeared on the top of one misty mountain.

It was snowy there, and very cold.

Lucas looked at the sky, his face changed quickly.

He didn't feel any guilt for leaving a false note to his cousin. She can do nothing, so there is no

Though she is in this as he was, Lucas was a selfish person and he would take the right of vengeance from her.

What he was standing on, was the top of the mountain was Kaido is having his cave below it.

Reaching his shirt, Lucas took off his shirt and used his Devil Fruit ability to maximise the effects of his power.
