Twenty Days later.
Lucas was inside his office, wearing his usual coat that presents his rank as the Fleet Admiral. During these days, life has been... descent, if you know him and his hard-working personality.
"Everybody,"
Lucas was holding a DenDenMushi as he was talking to the Five Elders.
He got used to talking to them as there is a deep connection between the military and the government of this world, while he has the authority to control every Marine in this world – to serve his hidden purpose.
"Yeah?" One of the Five responded.
"Rock your body..." Lucas said, amused as he was lost in his ideas.
'That's probably, tomorrow,' he thought.
"Mrs Fernando, we are talking about a serious topic. Big Mom's influence had become very big. She even had taken White Beard's Road Stone. Do you understand, soon, there would be a pirate king?"
"I see. Don't worry, leave that to me." Lucas said, looking at the calendar.
"We trust your strength, young Fleet Admiral. We expect you to be in the Holy Land soon."
"Sure," Lucas said, feeling that it was ironic. Just today, Caesar would finish the task Lucas given too.
Thinking about it, the Crazy scientist had found a way to create paramecia type fruits, and a way to boost the production 300% by using his fruit. Lucas was sure that, knew, Caesar would plan to make an artificial heart so he can get rid of Lucas's control.
'Just because someone is good in physics, doesn't mean they are tactics masters.'
'The history of Earth shows clearly that Chess masters have IQ higher than Albert Einstein and other scientists.'
Lucas thought as he shut the call with the elders. If there is something Caesar miscalculated is, the possibility that he would be one of the exposed people to the Imperial Will. There is no way a nerd is going to stab a backstabbing master.
He then called someone else. Linlin. After some flirting, he said,
"Hey, Linlin, don't finish Whitebeard."
"Why?"
"I need to finish him by my hands, honey."
"Fine Darling." Linlin smiled. "Only if you do that magic technique."
After the day Lucas boosted her strength, unlocked her potential along with his stepdaughters that he had slept with, Linlin was unstoppable, the strongest of the Emperors, and becoming the Pirate Queen is a matter of time.
For a fact, using her endless soul, she managed to spread life into many islands and clouds, making the five elders worry about her.
"Ha-ha..." Lucas let a laugh. "I'll do it."
"Okay."
"Mama- Mama. I was heading for him. Darling~." Linlin, who was only 18 years old now, said, "I'll make you proud."
"Don't forget to capture Shanks in case you found him. Oh, try Hawkeyes and any strong bounty hunter who has been hiding his strength.' Lucas furrowed his eyebrows.
He needed to finish off Whitebeard, no personal feelings, for the bigger picture's sake.
As for finished Kaido – and made him a punching toy for his girls so they train the skills he thought them – he used all of his XP he gained from him on his Devil Fruit Mastery and kept the rest for the sake of a better powerup -- The one which he needs.
His swordsmanship reached level 17. [Half-Step Blades Saint 10.000.000/200.000.000]. a level that was higher than the known ones in One Piece, thanks to grinding with Lilia.
And thanks to Kaido, he boxing reached level 20.
[Level 20 boxing (5000/ infinite)
This occupation can endlessly improve with practising. With training, the sub-skills can be created and get improved.]
[Upgrading boxing -> Imperial Boxing]
[The level beyond boxing. Each hit is counted to do as much as damage. Each footwork is fast, confusing, and sneaky]
Still, his plans need XP and more time for that.
Lucas looked at his Devil Fruit Mastery.
It was originally level 14, requiring 20 million XP. After levelling it up one level:
[DFM (More-More) level 15 (40.000.000/40.000.000)
Multiplier up to 250.
+Affecting living beings takes 0.6 seconds.
+The ability to increase 4 features.]
[DFM (More-More) level 16
Multiplier up to 300
+Getting rid of the weakness of conflicting with second Devil Fruit Ability. ]
[Ding, do you want to eat a second Devil Fruit with cost 50.000.000 XP (y/n)]
Lucas let a sigh. He was only left with few millions XP. And with him getting stronger with each day, thanks to the combination of his Titanium mass and food, he knew that gaining XP is harder than ever. Only Whitebeard has what it takes. And he thought he won't be as good as Kaido.
He needed each XP he got. But judging from his major powers up, he would be barely able to gain something good.
Standing up, Lucas let a sigh as he walked and looked through the window. Looking there, he saw some of his girls relaxing through Marineforde. His eyes swept to two blonds that it was hard to ignore them.
Gerd, in Marine's uniform– was talking to what she found here, her sister. A blond woman with blue eyes just like her, and she happened to be in Marine all along. Small world isn't it.
Apparently, since Lucas is the Fleet Admiral, he can make people enter, even with previous criminal records, erase their bounty, and even give them ranks – beneath Admiral – as he likes.
Looking at Gerd and her sis, curious, Lucas increased his hearing to hear what's going on.
"No way, you joined because of him."
"Yes." Gerd said, smiling."We are in a relationship."
"...Are you drunk," the other one said. "Although I'm happy to see you here, I've to wonder...'
"He is cute."
"Yes, but not as a boyfriend."
"But we slept together, and he let me get here in Navy," Gerd said which made Lucas remember it, ten days ago, as he went to Wano back. Long story short, they had s.e.x.
"Cut the crap, there is no way, he is a human, you are a giant, he can't..." She said, "you know, bang you."
"Well, you would be surprised." Gerd laughed to get a small punch on the head.
"How?" she said, "are you making fun of me."
"You wouldn't believe me even If I tell you."
"Oh, I'd like to see that." She said, challenging "if that is going to happen in a way, I'm ready to throw my v.i.r.g.i.nity. But if not, Hoho, I'll prank you for teasing me."
"Challenge accepted... hey, no need for the first condition, I'm sharing him enough...'
'Ha...' Lucas let a sigh as he made his hearing normal again and rubbed his ear, 'people are taking me lightly.'
Whether it's a bean or a mountain, nothing is out of his range.
***
The noon, Lucas's private snail rang.
Caesar clown had just called him and told him that the fruits, which Lucas had asked for are ready.
Lucas, quite anxious, smiled and said, "I'll be there five minutes."
Making a firm face, he left his seat in the HQ and flew toward Dressrosa.
