Chapter 152 - Chapter 154

Lubbock jumped down to one of the walkways leading up to the arena, and after his feet touched the ground he was immediately walked into by a gladiator coming from the prep area inside the building. The gladiator fell down backwards after having walked straight into Lubbock. Despite his stature, his body was sturdier than a rock wall, so it was no wonder why this particularly petite gladiator fell down after having walked into him.

"Excuse you!" Lubbock said and turned around to look at whoever had walked into him. And what he saw was a cute girl with pink hair and the absolute minimum amounts of clothes. After having shaken off the shock she looked up and saw Lubbock and she didn't recognize him so she put on an apprehensive look.

"What a beauty you are, here, let me help you up!" Lubbock smiled and offer his hand to help her up, and she happily accepted after seeing him smile at her. He was among the first in this place smiling at her and not immediately trying to rip her clothes off, so she accepted his help almost on natural instinct.

"Thank you, Sir!" She said with a smile and dusted off her buttocks. But she just remembered that she was apart of this upcoming fight so her expression hardened and she quickly interrupted Lubbock's next words.

"I'm sorry, Sir! I need to get to the arena, so excuse me would you," She said and ran off, but not before hitting Lubbock with her best smile, and it caused his heart to skip a beat.

"I think I'm in love!" Lubbock said as he watched her run away toward the arena.

******************************************

On the rocky shores of the island, Cal, Guts, and Hisoka anchored with their ships. The three ships were massive and all comparable to Big Mom's flagship, The Queen Mama Chanter. And their ships were designed to fit their personalities. Hisoka's ship was clown inspired with a multitude of colours. And Guts and Cal's ships were both extremely simple in design, nothing extravagant, except for Guts ship only having men in the crew and Cal only having women.

"Fancy seeing you two here," Hisoka smiled sweetly, but Cal got the creeps whenever she would see that smile. Guts glanced at Hisoka then loudly sighed out loud, "Not really, we were summoned here to this island. I was expecting to see you, Hisoka" He said after his sigh.

"I suppose that's true, good observation, big guy!" Hisoka said awkwardly before turning away from both of them. "This is quite a colourfull country. I think I will like it here." He said and looked back and waved towards his colourful ship, "Sail to the east side, we will intercept Kaido there!"

"Yes, Master!" Yelled a woman with full clown makeup on her face, and a pink leather catsuit on. This was Hisoka's vice-captain, and she was almost more evil and twisted than he himself was.

"I didn't know you were such a strategist," Cal said with a teasing smile. But that washed away when Hisoka turned to her with a smile of his own, "Sure I am, we can set up private lessons if you want me to teach you," He said seductively while licking his lips.

"N-Never mind!" Cal said and also waved to her ship, "Do as Hisoka said, dock at the east shore!" She yelled to her vice-captain which was a woman that was covered with multiple layers of bandage. The only visible part of her was her eyes, everything else was covered completely in bandage.

Guts also yelled the same towards his own ship, and all three ships started moving towards their designated locations.

"How long do you suppose Kaido will live in his fight against the boss?" Hisoka asked curiously while the three of them were walking towards the city. Cal and Guts weren't really talkative individuals so Hisoka always had a hard time making any conversation stick with them.

"Don't know, don't care really," Cal said completely uninterested in the fight.

"Don't be like that, Cal, you need to learn to socialize otherwise you will never find love," Hisoka said happily with a smile on his lips.

"Damn you, quit it with that annoying argument already! I'm not looking for some goddamn boyfriend. I have my girls and emperor Amell, those are the ones I need to protect and they are the only ones I care about." She said angerly. It always bothered her how Hisoka's words even though she found them irritating and untrue always managed to get under her skin.

"Fine, fine. Now, how you answer the question? Do you think he stands much of a chance?"

"No, I don't think so. I don't think the thirteen commanders combined could kill him, and here you are asking if Kaido stands a chance?" Cal seemed greatly annoyed, and even terrifying aura leaked out and put cracks around her as she walked.

"Have you ever seen the boss go all out?" Hisoka asked while dreaming himself away into a fantasy, and what was happening in there only he knew.

"No, I haven't. I don't think anyone in this tiny world is enough to put a scratch on him." Cal answered nonchalantly and with zero doubt in her voice. To her, there was no doubt that Amell was the strongest person in the world.

"Agreed!" Guts said sternly.

"Then we're all in agreement. Great!" Hisoka smiled and started whistling a happy tune.

"Like there was ever any doubt about that!" Cal said quietly while calming her aura.
