188 Chapter 188

At the roof of the fortress of Dressrosa: 

Doflamingo looked at Lucas, trying to find a way to manipulate him and uses him against Gion so he may take advantage and get rid of her and him. 

Momousagi lifted her katana and aimed the blade at Doflamingo. She looked around to see Lucas and felt some wariness since he may get hurt during her fight with Doflamingo.  But remembering his performance against Pica, she thought that he can ensure his safety while she fights. 

After Lucas invited her here and told her to be ready to fight, gave her some respect for him, as it was obvious that he was the one who broke the curse from the toys. But she didn't forget, once they go back, she would give him a long speech about not acting recklessly. 

"So, Lucas. Did you chose to go with the marine side."

Doflamingo asked, making a large grin. He knows what type person Lucas is – the person who changes his side according to the situation. But, how would he react against his own feelings? 

"Yes," Lucas replied at him. Gion noticed that they are talking so informally like they knew each other. 

"I'm still a warlord though," Doflamingo said, as he pointed with his head to Gion. "Once this is over, my regular life would continue."

"Orders mate."

Lucas answered relaxing his shoulders. 

"So bad, Monet would be sad." Doflamingo lowered his head and said," She would go to Impel Down, and would have to give birth to your kid there."

"WHAT!"

Gion looked at Lucas and yelled with her cheeks turning pink. 

Lucas felt some danger from his side as Gion looked at him with her huge breasts were shaking. She must be thinking that he slept with someone from the enemy side. 

"Y-yo-you did what." 

That, she will talk about that to him later.

Lucas knows that Doflamingo is bluffing, but he needed to get rid of the awkwardness. Though the pills aren't always protecting 100%, it still high. 

"I don't know what you are talking about." 

Lucas said, pretending that Doflamingo is lying. Lucas used birth control pills, so there is no way that she is pregnant – Okay, there is a chance and it's small, but there is no way that Doflamingo would know before him. 

"Reall-" 

Doflamingo was about to play more on Lucas's nerves; but, Gion shut him up by appearing next to him, waving her sword, and giving him a small cut on his chest.  Doflamingo jumped back with a wound across his chest. He put his hand on it and glared at Gion. 

"Stop manipulating the kid with non-sense," she said, thinking that Doflamingo is playing a trick. If what he is saying is true, then he glared at her. 

"Gion...I'm not manipulating him. I'm telling him the truth. Fufufu..."

*swish* 

In instant, Lucas arrived next to Doflamingo and gave him a punch on his stomach, sending him gliding few meters away.  Doflamingo's saliva left his mouth and he went along with the momentum. But, it didn't that much damage to him. But even though Doflamingo could take this punch, it gave him some pain. Luckily to him, he had a very strong physical body and strong tolerance. 

Doflamingo regained his balance by standing in the middle of the air. He looked at Lucas and continued to play his mind games. 

"Ouch. Don't you love her – she loves you for sure" 

Gion stopped again flinching while not trying to lose her focus. 

"I know." Lucas decided finally to shut Doflamingo up. He said, "She wasn't bad, and even begged for me to be with her. she even told me about the toys and the people you turned."

Lucas lied. 

"What!" Gion didn't expect to this side from Lucas. Is he bluffing?

"What!"  Doflamingo seemed to realise that Monet betrayed him.  Did she change her side for one a man who is half tall as he is? Did Monet betray him?  

Of course, things started to make sense. Why did his the puppets he collected got free? Why exactly at the day of the tournament, which happened to be suggested by Lucas. Why did Zorro appear, why did he chase Law, and why Law appeared with Lucas, and finally, why Law is Zorro. The puzzle pieces in his mind started to get clearer.  

"fufufu... I understand now. You were the Master Mind behind it all, Lucas."

 Now everything is clear. Law isn't Zorro, Doflamingo can tell that for sure. Lucas was the one who appeared next Law when Zorro and his crew vanished from the earth. And finally, the dude came to Hazard Punk., It seems that Doflamingo was the one who got targeted from the beginning. It's either because the kid wanted to promote... or.

But Doflamingo didn't expect this to be the first case - If he is here to kill him based on the Celestial Dragons' orders, then Lucas wouldn't trouble himself to expose him to the HQ.

That's the only thing Doflamingo couldn't understand. 

He wanted to know Lucas's purpose from this.

But the fact someone was playing on him from the beginning, made Doflamingo pissed off. 

"Boss, let me deal with him."

Lucas went to Gion and patted her shoulder to make her relax a bit since the sound of her sword was a bit scary. 

"Little Lucas, do you want to get hurt." Gion said, "Stay behind me, the battle will be quite tough."

'Aww. If she was just shorted I would call her cute.' Lucas looked at her face, opening his jaw a bit. 

It's not like he didn't trust her ability, but if she deals with Doflamingo then he wouldn't get XP...mmm... Should he let her fight while he gives the finisher blow, taking the XP for himself.  

"I'll fight as well."

Sighing that she won't change his mind, Gion said. "Be careful."

Lucas already can use his Fruit power and finish Doflamingo, but he wanted more experience.  Gion was getting weird vibes from the hand on her shoulders. It was so good, but the intense situation made her not losing her focus. 

 Lucas then slowly walked toward Doflamingo. 

'Those brats.' Doflamingo became angrier as saw Gion and Lucas ignoring him. Fine, he has to kill the two; Lucas should be easy while Gion would be the one that can give him a hard challenge.

Doflamingo extended his finger, shooting invisible thin threads that were faster than bullets. 

In reaction, Gion waved her sword and reflected them while sending an air blade that made Doflamingo jump and change his direction. On the other side, Lucas took a step forward, allowing him to face the rest of the thread bullets. 

Gion was about to pull him back since he didn't seem to be going to react soon. bB Lucas extended his hand and caught the three threads between his fingers. Gion sighed, realising that he can take care of his own, she just needed him not to stay to close. 

She knew that he has a gun attack, but he still didn't use it as well the swords on his back, making her think that he is either holding back, or he is tired from Pica. 

"LUCAS."

Pissed off on him, Doflamingo extended his finger and shot a red thread bullet that was covered with fire. The thread is very hard and hot, and it won't find a problem to pierce a thick tank of taintless steel. Not moving against what seemed a red beam, Lucas punched the fire ray, reflecting it to pierce a wall. 

With Iron Mass, or Titanium mass, plus armament Haki, Lucas's defence is very strong basically.  

Doflamingo was shocked when he saw that. That was one of his best attacks. If Lucas used his sword than Doflamingo wouldn't be shocked, but Lucas used his bare hand, and he didn't even flinch. 

Not giving them a chance to make another action, Doflamingo summoned thousands of threads that had been hidden beneath the ground, and all flew to Lucas and Gion who could avoid it thanks to their speed. 

"Hmm." 

Doflamingo floated up and started waving his hands, sending sharp thread. Momousagi reflected them easily with her sword, while Lucas used Moonwalk and moved forward without any regard to his safety. 

"You may be strong, but you lack experience."

Seeing how much reckless Lucas is, Doflamingo lifted both of his hand making a large grin before moving them down both down, sending tens and tens of threads. Each was very sharp and calved with Haki. 

<<Titanium Mass>>

Without declaring, Lucas's body got harder. As the threads hit Lucas, they got reflected– only with his clothes got cut. 

[Titanium Mass +4000 XP +4000 XP...]

"What." 

Doflamingo exclaimed in shock. Not believing that Lucas is still standing, Doflamingo got a punch on his jab, then an uppercut on his face, which sent him flying up.

 But before Dolamingo flies away further, Lucas's covered his hand with black Haki and moved faster.

'His body is very hard,' Gion thought, looking at Lucas. 

Doflamingo, thought he felt dizzy, could sense this coming up, so, he waved both of his hands, creating many black nets to block the coming attack. 

*woosh*

Lucas appeared next to the webs and punched them with a strong straight <<Prince Straight>>, making his Haki clash with Doflamingo's. Lucas wasn't the same person before the two months training, even without his ability, he can make his ground. 

Doflamingo clenched his teeth and used his physical strength to his advantage as he started to push more strings with slight blood coming out of his mouth.

The webs started getting ripped off one by one, as Lucas was punching again and again. 

'What this brat is made of.' Doflamingo thought while pushing.  

Lucas smirked seeing the sparks between his hand and the webs, happy with the XP he is getting. 

[Boxing: +13.400 XP...+10.000 XP...+ 3000 XP...]

Doflamingo had a very hard body that it can destroy a country when falling down to the ground. No wonder that he can make the perfect training puppy. Doflamingo, realising that he is in a disadvantage position, let the thread webs take the damage as he pulled himself back using a thread from his leg. The webs got crushed by the punch, which made a big shockwave. 

Doflamingo jumped back and could sense Gion jumping to him in blinding speed and he needed to dodge quickly.

As he was going to dodge, at that moment, unknown to Doflamingo, Law's hand got free when Gion accidentally cut the threads tying him. 

As Law's hands got free, the two eggs fell down, and Law saw this as a chance. 

Smirking, Law lifted his head up.  "This is for your brother, Doflamingo." He moved his head forward and gave the eggs a strong head butt.

Suddenly Doflamingo who just dodged Gion's sword with only one finger got cut, felt unimaginable pain coming from his crotch."AAAA." 

Doflamingo let a loud scream that even a pregnant woman didn't make while giving birth. Not because his finger got cut, but because he felt his little balls getting crushed between his legs.

'what's wrong with him, cutting a finger doesn't hurt this much." Gion looked at Doflamingo, as she passed by him, wondering if he was this weak all along. 

 "LAAWWWWW"  

Why do his balls hurt so much despite not getting kicked there anyway? He just now realised the answer. Doflamingo pushed himself with his strings retreating back to the city down. The pain was too much that he needed some time to rest. 

But then suddenly, as the two Marines were about to chase him, an overwhelming pain took over him, Doflamingo unleashed some kind of momentum at both of Lucas and Gion. 

The people down felt it and lost consciousness, but it seems that Lucas and his boss aren't affected by it, as they landed and looked at him. 

Lucas felt that something was tickling his breath as he faced that momentum, and gave him a slight daze.

It was something that gave him the idea to retreat, which was refused by Lucas's brain as he used to this when he used to work out.

'I see, this is conqueror Haki. ' 

[Ding... Analysing: Conqueror Haki...]

"Let's go," Momousagi took the lead and run where Doflamingo is retreating, passing by all the people who were engaged in a battle with the remaining forces of Doflamingo. Though they are pirates, they do much help for their reasons.
