Chapter 267

The New World: The Marines' battlesh.i.p.s didn't take a long time to cross the distance from Punk hazard to the Red Port, where all the marines who happened to watch that historical battle had to pass to the other side of The Grand Line, Paradise.

Most of the higher-ups who came here had either a pale, worried or amazed expression on their faces – some didn't have an expression at all.

What had caused such changing on their faces was the battle that they had witnessed between Lucas and Aokiji.

Punk Hazard, a middle-sized island with a lot of biomes and capable of hosting millions of civilians, was destroyed by a simple shockwave.

Not only so; Aokiji, one very strong Admiral with wits, lost to a teen with an attack he couldn't see.

Sengoku had lost hope about the Navy's future and decided to leave it for fate. It's already chaotic times. He had been staring at Garp while holding a goat in his arms.

'Maybe if I used Garp to annoy him, Lucas may retire.

'No, better: I'll help personally in that.'

On the other hand, Garp was quite happy. He already got tired to trolling the higher-ups alone. Now, with Sengoku in their side, they will troll the New Fleet Admiral.

Both Sengoku and Garp made eye contact and smiled before Sengoku burst in coughing that cost him losing some blood.

'Maybe not. I am very sick already.'

Now, they passed by the Red Line and reached the HQ. But there is one thing weird.

Lucas never came out from his battleship.

It was then when the battlesh.i.p.s reached the HQ, Domino came out from Lucas's warship and made an announcement.

As an Admiral, everyone had to pay attention to what she is saying.

"Dear higher-ups, Lucas, the winner in the competition of Fleet Admiral, undoubtedly," Domino said, making everyone remember the power that Lucas had shown up. All of them, no exception, had to reconsider what they saw. With such Strong Fleet Admiral, the Navy would surely soar and get rid of the pirates.

The way he destroyed that island reminded them of Whitebeard power.

"For the last twelve days, as most of you know that something happened in his hometown."

Domino bit her lips. Just, looking at the huge audience, she felt that bullshiting was hard already. She had to come up for an excuse to cover for her boss. Luckily, she used to be Magellan's secretary in Impel Down.

"Lucas hadn't been sleeping since then." Domino continued, "Now, he is feeling sleepy and he said, sorry, but I need to take a nap."

Everyone seemed to be shocked by her announcement.

'I see, that's why he pretended to be tired from fighting Aokiji for a few minutes.'

'He didn't take a nap... but he seemed to be full of vigour a few moments ago.'

Gion clenched her fist around her katana. She knew that Lucas must have been suffering without sleeping. "Can I see him?"

"No!" Domino frowned to the fellow Admiral, "I believe we should respect his rights. Besides, Lucas would be gloomy if he doesn't sleep enough. His mood is always bad if he doesn't get enough sleep."

After gasping, Gion clenched her eyes tightly and stared at the blonde Domino: a petite girl with perfect height for guys over here, she had big b.r.e.a.s.ts, milky white skin, long blonde wavy hair, and purple pretty eyes. She was s.e.xy and cute at the same time.

"How do you know that?"For some reason, Gion remembered the time she saw Domino kissing Lucas on the cheek. Hearing how Domino described Lucas after not getting much sleep, she had some doubts.

"This is private," Domino said, covering her eyes with shades before turning.

Garp sighed, and Sengoku felt guilty. He knew that the World Government would never tell him about the fact that it was Kaido. But again, the World Government doesn't make rash decisions based on emotions. To them, few lives can be sacrificed for the bigger picture.

"Well, we shall respect his wish," Zephyr said. "Let him rest."

The rest, who almost was trained by him at some point, nodded their heads.

Sengoku sighed. Things are going messy. Though the Navy gained two huge boosts in power – Lucas and Domino – two of their powers are in hospital – Akainu and Aokiji– and both of them got beaten by Lucas.

-x-X-x-

Back at Wano.

The mid of the day, Wano, has completely fallen under Big Mom pirates plus Yamato and the other girls doing contribution. Big Mom was second to no Emperor. That was in the past. It was needless to say that Orochi and the rest of Kaido's men couldn't stand a fight against Katakuri, Lucas's stepson, so, let alone the rest of the army.

It was a complete victory. A complete massacre as the pirates finished off Kaido's men in the usual style.

Yamato looked at the sky, her macer in her hand, thinking how easy things went. Because of Lucas, and his boosting ability, they could take Wano easily. Now, opening Wano's borders, her dream, could be achieved, only after crossing the hardest step.

There is one thing left to do now.

She looked at the woman next to her, a woman she used to look up to in the past. In the past, Linlin had some chance to defeat Kaido. But, now is a different time.

Linlin, the 18 years old Linlin, held her sword and looked up to the sky, remembering what Lucas told her. After she had successfully taken Wano, she had made love with Lucas in threesome with her daughter Smoothie. This made the bound they share become stronger and stronger.

"Damn it, why doesn't he trust me," Linlin put her captain hat on her falling pink smooth hair. Adjusting it, she looked at the sky, "If he leaves Kaido to me, I'll beat him in fewer hours."

Big Mom with the boost, and the youth surgery, is way stronger than she used to be. Though she looks like a beauty queen now – as she used in the past – she is still the Strongest Woman in the World

Along with her eternal youth, devil fruit power, her agility as a young woman, and increased divine physical body, Kaido would be an easy pick.

But unfortunately, Lucas said he wanted to take him alone. It was like a personal matter to him.

"Mama," Katakuri approached his mother and said, "What shall we do."

"Katakuri my son," Linlin turned her head, making Katakuri confused as she isn't looking like the mother he used to know. "Make your father happy," Linlin continued, "We will wait for Kaido. If things went bad, I'll step in. Keep your guard high and tell me when the future calls it."

"Yes, Mama," Katakuri found it hard to say those words to beauty, and her being his mom is worse.

Linlin then started to think of the future. Lucas had fulfilled her dream of making a place where everyone is a giant. She was in love with him because of that, and that he is the man who managed to make her feel like a woman in bed. She wanted to make him happy.

However, as a Pirate Emperor, she knew that even with Lucas's strength boosted a hundred times, she is still far stronger and more experienced. The battle he would have against Kaido would be very tough, she thought. However, if things went rough, she will end Kaido. But she feared that she would anger him.

Lucas, without doubt, knows that she is his second strongest woman, after Lucci.

Linlin bit her nail and said, "Damn. I need to be careful there."

"Mama, I found something belongs to us." Not long after, Smoothie came back.

She was lifting a big stone half as tall as her.

The stone was blue and held unique runes which resembled the ancient language that was used before 800 years.

Seeing it, Linlin didn't show a surprised face, as her concerns were bigger. She went and took the stone from Smoothie.

The road stone.

"Mama mama. I'll be the pirate Queen soon." Big Mom smiled. "Only Whitebeard is next in the list and Shanks."

Linlin smirked. With the army like this, plus her, she will become the pirate Queen, and Lucas, as her husband, the Pirate King.

That's right.

With that, Lucas would become the Pirate King.

He stole Luffy's dream and the others' without even intending.

-x-X-x-

The sun was descending slowly, red twilight covered everyone.

On the other side of Wano, a giant Dragon was approaching the borders.

Kaido, with his resolve after finding of Lucas's promise, came her moving faster than his usual self like he had found a motivation. As he was moving, Kaido could feel Wano with his Haki. He could feel very strong presences. He clenched his dragon teeth as he could tell what is going on.

Usopp was fast enough to point to that, "Father in Law, an army of giants is there. Every one of our pirates..."

Usopp clenched his fist as he saw the Flower Capital, their men are lying dead. Although his body's language said one thing, he had a hidden smirk.

"Bastards." Kaido knew that someone attacked Wano while he isn't here, and his men, commanders, are all dead, except the idiot riding his head.

It was needless to say that his deadliest enemy was the reason behind this. Kaido could understand that Lucas had prepared this in advance. Did he just lose in a battle of wits?

Kaido was about to descend, to fight and make a stand for himself. However, he stopped in the middle of the air and moved his head to left. Where his head originally was, passed a red big beam

On the other side, Lucas let his hand down; smoke was flying from his palm.

He was making eye contact with the Western Dragon. His n.a.k.e.d top was releasing smoke in the middle of the snow as he was standing on the top of the misty mountain.

Kaido stopped and looked at the direction that the attack came from. With his dragon eyes, he could tell it was the misty mountain where he used

"Father, leave the rest to me."

"Usopp, hold your own against them."

Usopp jumped off Kaido's head, 200 meters high, and descended on the ground with agile feet.

He lifted his hand; a purple aura was covering him.

Suddenly, the dead people on the ground unleashed some energy – it held the smell of death – and flew toward Usopp. The aura like light entered his body and was completely absorbed. His eyes turned purple for a second.

"I feel stronger." Usopp smiled as he lifted his hands and said "Necro-Necro: the Grand Summoning."

8000. That's right. Eight thousand skeletons appeared from the ground. Each one of those in the past was a strong warrior. Usopp had carefully chosen them one by one.

His power, Necromancer, was otherworldly power that was given to him after he saw all of his crew dying in front of his eyes when he met a man, who was blonde with long hair and blue eyes.

Among these corpses, one was wearing a black robe, and floating; he had flesh, but his skull was black as nigh.

"Lich," Usopp called that skeleton. He was someone who he used to love but died in front of his eyes as well.

"Yes, my liege," said the lich.

"In which direction the invaders are."

"This way."

The lich said, looking at one direction with his skeleton eyes shining red.

"Attack!" After giving the order, the rest of the bones army started moving.

However, Usopp noticed something.

As he was getting closer, the enemies became more visible.

Thousands of them he saw. And the weakest of them seemed to be very strong.

"Skeletons."

Usopp stopped for a brief when he saw a purple-haired man, Cracker, smiling at his direction and making a first before punching the ground.

-x-X-x-

Kaido was approaching the mountain that holds his cave. The reason for that was because he felt a strong presence of the top of the misty mountain.

If his guess is right, then it would be the man who took his daughter's v.i.r.g.i.nity away, and probably, Black Maria, as the promise said.

Seeing how Wano is getting attacked by an army of giants, he decided to deal with the leader first, while leaving the rest to the necromancer, Usopp.

Kaido, in his giant (Yong: Eastern dragon) form, approached the high misty mountains, his yellow eyes shining.

He clearly could see him: a blonde man, topless, doing warm-up exercises.

Lucas, who was standing on the peak in his giant form, could feel a very strong presence with his observation Haki, coming toward him.

He looked there and saw it: a giant blue Yong, big like sea king, making eye contact with him.

Though Lucas was standing 38 meters tall, he was still small compared to the dragon.

"I was feeling bored," he stopped warming up and looked at the giant blue Dragon coming.

Though the mountain's peak was cold and covered in snow, thick steam was released from Lucas's body and went up.

During the last month, because of Kaido's did, Lucas didn't sleep well. Calorina cried a lot while thinking about her poor parents, and Lucas had to hear her secretly sobbing when she gets far. Not only so, but the bastard threatened him with two weaklings from East Blue, who happened to be his relatives. Though they weren't that important, Lucas was very upset about what he had to deal with.

"And you are here," Lucas called, looking at the Dragon with a chilly face. The Dragon's face got closer and closer, only a couple hundred meters are between them.

This is the immortal that didn't die despite the world government and the previous four emperors capturing and trying to kill him.

"LUCAS!!!"

Kaido opened his huge mouth, looking at the teen, the future Fleet Admiral, and opened his mouth as wide as possible.

"Kaido!"

Lucas squatted down a bit, moving his left fist and leg to the front, taking a boxer position. Lucas was having his temperature increased a bit, allowing him to be warmed up, and skip the warming up time, just to do this.

Kaido opened his huge mouth, a ball of fire started to compress in front of him, aimed at Lucas's "WAA!" Kaido roared. The ball of fire in his mouth turned into a big beam that headed toward Lucas.

Responding at the big beam, the dragon breaths that can destroy an island, Lucas snorted.

Like a boxer doing a shadow boxing, he waved his left hand in a hook shape, hitting the air.

<< Emperor Hook >>

Yellow enormous energy followed out of Lucas's hand and flew toward the beam that left the dragon mouth.

A yellow and a red beam flew against each other. Though their speed was beyond the eye measure, at that moment, the time seemed to stop as the Dragon's breaths and King Hook met. The snow stopped falling, as a Dragon and a man kept glaring at each other.

*BOOM*

'Unfortunately, I have a conscious, and killing you just like that won't ease my anger.

'I can't give you an easy death. It'll leave a bad taste in my mouth.'

The time seemed to move again as Lucas drew a frown.

[More-More: strength and size x30]

An explosion happened. It was too strong that most of Usopp's bones army flew with the shockwave. The snow vaporized from the heat caused by their attack, a light flashed and covered everyone's sight in Wano

*BOOM*

But then, from nowhere, the yellow beam seemed to grow all of the sudden and swallow the dragon breathes.

It was a gigantic beam that continued to the borders of Wano, pushing the clouds in the process.

Everyone in Wano stopped what they were doing as winds surged everywhere. Mothers used their bodies to cover their children as the sky colour became yellow.

From the sky, there was no dragon. However, Lucas knew it was far from over.

He followed it from his eyes, as a monster among men, a king among creatures, descended with a macer on his head.

There was a wound on his body, in his ribs exactly. The flesh, in that spot, started together itself quickly and close, healing in the process. It was obvious it was caused by touching the fist energy caused by Lucas.

"Ops," Looking at him, Lucas, like his fist missed accident, said, "I missed your head. But, I won't next time."

"Lucas!" Kaido glared at Lucas, his long black hair flew with the winds.

The hole in the clouds that was caused by Lucas's punch got fixed on its own. The snow started to descend again. But neither Lucas nor Kaido seemed to care about the cold sensation as they glared at each other.
