230 Chapter 230

The sun of a new day rose. Lucas, Calorina, and Lilia were in East blue, exactly, the kingdom they came from: The Babarogi Kingdom. After the news from last night that says that Lucas's homeland got attacked, along with his uncle and aunt, who happened to be his cousin's parent, are nowhere to be found, so they came here.

The other girls wanted to come and see Lucas's home, but Lucas made them stay there while he has to deal with those troubles of his.

The three of them were next to a marine base, where Calorina used to work as a captain, and Lucas as a cleaner – old days. Lilia was asking questions around, while Calorina was standing silently next Lucas and looking at the ground, no one knew what she was thinking of.

Calorina felt Lucas patting her arm and she looked at him, with no smile.

"Don't worry, we will find them."

"I hope so."

Calorina lit up a cigarette. It was lucky that Lucas was next to her side last night with his hands massaging her head. Otherwise, she may have lost her mind after getting the bad news.

"Sorry for destroying that house."

"It doesn't matter."

Lucas didn't care about a house or something. Calorina was calm outside, but it seems she is sad and holding her tears back. On the other hand, Lucas was calm, just stressed a bit. Just who would have attacked, that what he needed to figure out.

The marines around in this base remembered her, with shaking legs; they treated her like the real boss and made her a way. Lucas met with the commander responsible for this base.

Just after seeing the words on the coat of Lucas and the two girls next to him, the commander left his seat for them and treated them respectfully. Knowing those high-rank officers, he started talking about unrelated topics.

"Stop wasting time and do your fu**** job."

Seeing that the Commander is stalling time, Calorina lifted her foot and kicked him flying, crushing five walls, changing his face.

Lilia made eye contact with Lucas, who just nodded and patted her arm, and noticed that she was shaking. Honestly, this alone made Lucas feel worried, angry, and some kind of other emotions that he usually wouldn't care about.

Lucas always thought that his girls are in a safe place, but he never paid attention to their families or people who are related to this body by the blood.

"Let's go."

"Ah..."

Calorina nodded.

With broken teeth, the Commander of this base came with reports about what had happened last night.

At the middle of the night, one pirate ship, only one, made its way at the night. The pirates descended and made a complete attack.

The marines quickly were alerted. But they were only non-elite marines. The report mentioned that one of the pirates, who wasn't even a captain or some strong officer, alone could defeat all the marines while holding two knives; and the marines that faced him are either dead or are in an emergency, getting treated.

"This... this group must be from Grand Line," Lilia said after finishing reading the report.

"I hope mom and dad are fine," said Calorina as she joined her hands together. Two tears dropped from the corner of her eye, which were quickly swept by Lucas's finger.

Looking at Lucas who grew very much in one year, Calorina asked, "Lucas, when you found about your parents' death, was it hard for you?" she asked, wanting to find the answer, or prepare herself for the worse.

As long as she remembers, it took the young cousin she knew some years before opening his mouth and saying a word.

Lucas, the current one didn't know or remember that feeling. Though he had worse memories about his real parents, those from this world seemed nicer, so he didn't want to look for memories about them.

"Don't mention that again."

Lucas and the girls started reading the reports as they made their way to a mansion that Lucas used to live at, but he left it to the Calorina and Lilia when he went to the Navy, and Calorina left it to her parents to live at.

But now, that place was destroyed; most of it is ashes or piles of stones.

There were some royal guards lifting the leftovers, and searching for evidence, and secretly for some money to use to refund what they lost.

Lucas didn't care about their intent, as the result was what matters. After looking in the remaining of the mansion, between the remaining of the other houses, there were no corpses or a trace of a burned one.

"Well, Calorina, at least, there is happy news," Lilia patted the back of the woman who she used to live with for a month and was pretty much close to, "Uncle Luke and aunt Caroline are nowhere here. It means they got kidnapped. In fact, there are faint traces of footsteps and blond hair on the ground. I think that your mom, she was dragged here, but her hand strand flew along with the wind. However, the foot traces ends at that point."

Lilia pointed to one spot where some long golden hair strands existed. As Marines, they could easily say it belongs to whom.

"But who the heck would kidnap them. Did they do it for money? If so, they will contact us soon." Calorina's heart pounded faster and she needed to beat someone.

That seems odd, a very strong pirate group from the Grand Line attacked their house for money from all options they had. It would be more believable if they attacked the whole island. This action seems to be directed to them. And the main problem is, they don't know which pirate group had attacked them.

After letting a disappointed sigh, Calorina's mood seemed to get better. As there is hope, she seemed to be less sad, but more stressed now. She didn't feel bad for the Commander she broke his face though.

Lilia lowered her head as she was thinking of something, looking hesitated if she should speak or not. 'I'll wait for some days, if nothing improved, I'll go to that old hag.'

Lucas was still reading the report, there was another location attacked.

"Let's go."

Lucas then went with the girls to one village on this island.

Here, there is a Dojo, where Lucas started training on swordsmanship for the first time and met Lilia.

After arriving, Lucas found himself standing in the middle of the grass and facing a pile of wood.

In his eyes, instead of the pile, he could see a bunch of people training with wooden swords and making bets with him. Now, this is obvious. First, his house, now the place where he trained. He is the one who is targeted by this attack.

'Just as I thought,' Lucas let a sigh as he looked up to the sky, 'Supreme Being, do you mind giving me some spoilers.'

There was no reply. Lucas lowered his head, 'I'm the targeted one... but who in world would do that. I didn't provoke big mom though. Kaido, for the last 3 days had been fighting against Whitebeard, and he can't remember Doflamingo. Just who? It can be anyone.'

Lucas thought of many possibilities. He made many enemies after becoming a bounty hunter and going to the Grand Line.

But, all those he crossed his path had been either killed or sent to Impel Down. But he knew this since they got kidnapped, there must be some clues. Even if the pirates could hide their presence here, they could be spotted in other places from this kingdom and all the way to the Grand Line.

"Big brother Lucas."

Snapped out of his thought, Lucas and the girls turned to see one kid, who looked to be 14 years old, 165 cm tall, was approaching them.

Lilia seemed to know him. "Jako... you grew for sure"

The kid was black-haired, wearing a black kimono, and was holding a katana next to his waist.

After thinking a bit, Lucas could remember him. This black haired kid was the first one he had a swordsmanship spar with.

"Senior Lilia, it had been a long time," the kid forced a silly smile when he saw all the six eyes focusing on him. "Lucas, you grew up for sure, ha-ha."

It seems that, since this place got attacked, the kid must know something.

"By the way, did you come to the funeral?" Jako asked Lilia and Lucas.

"Don't tell me that you don't know." Seeing them staring at him confusingly, he said, "Last night, as I was sleeping, I heard saw fire coming from here. When I got here with the other villagers, we saw Teacher dead body."

Jako looked to have tears in his eyes as he said. Sai was someone who Lucas knew and trained under.

Lucas narrowed his eyes.

Everything was perfect, he was going to become the Fleet Admiral, he got his first dozen of SMILE Fruits, but now, this appears.

He became angry, as his hands started to shake slowly.

Lucas was the one who schemes, but now, it seems that the tables had turned on him.

And worse, he doesn't even know who had targeted him.

But he will find out.

He turned around and clenched his teeth.

'I swear, whoever did this, I would make him experience a fate worse than Doflamingo's.'

Calorina looked at Lucas before she turned and started smoking. By this time, she could see the evidence that someone was targeting Lucas. However, despite how she felt, she didn't want to mention that. Lucas, no matter how strong he is, is still 16-17 years old. She didn't want him to blame himself, though he is partially to blame.

"It's okay, Lucas. Let's just go back, we will find nothing if we stayed." Calorina said. Maybe some sex and she would pass this. Well, when the worse happens, a human chose her best mean to relieve herself.

"Let's just ask for the World Government help." Lucas decided to call the Five Elders.

After attending the funeral of his first teacher, Lucas took the two girls and flew back to the New World. Because of the speed multiplied, the trip was faster than taking the fastest root in the world.

After that, Calorina took Lucas to some room and got him laid for a half-hour, calming herself.

"Well, let's call the HQ," Calorina said as she and Lucas wore their clothes.

She felt better after she got multi orgasms. But the gloomy mood is still around.

Lucas called the Five Elders and the HQ and made orders for them to investigate.

For pirates, it would take a long time to move from East Blue to the Grand Line, a near month worth trip. There is hope if Lucas used the world's investigation means.

Lucas relaxed and took a cigarette, and continued his regular life while waiting for news. For five days, even with the help of the world Government and the Navy, no new news was heard. Calorina hadn't been eating lately, just sitting next to the table and waiting for some snail to ring so someone may ask for money.

The only thing that cheers her up was when she has bed games with Lucas. It was the only way for her to sleep. But well, Lucas could keep her sanity this way. During these days, Lucas stayed closer to his cousin, just in case.

The other girls tried to help physically and emotionally, but they couldn't do a lot.

One day, Lucas was sitting in his office at his base, with Calorina talking with him.

"Those pirates, seems they know how to use Haki at least," Calorina said as she was exchanging a cigarette with Lucas.

Her condition got better than the last days. She seemed to be calmer, but more silent than usual.

"I had gone to Impel Down, flipped the East Blue, but... nothing. Those pirates, they were like ghosts."

"It's okay. It's my fault; I should've stayed at East Blue from the begging. Maybe that way, your parents wouldn't have died, and have parents would had-"

"Well, fate can't be reserved."

"Listen, don't you know any kind of Devil Fruit, I don't know, can help in this situation," Calorina asked.

Lucas lifted his head before him shaking it, 'No'. Calorina relaxed her lips, her usual berserk mod didn't poke her during these days. That what made Lucas feel bad when seeing her like that.

*Door open*

The door of his office was opened and Lucas could see Lilia entering, with ugly facial expression.

"Lilia I thought you went to sleep."

Lucas said.

Lila looked at him and his eyes were shaking.

"Lucas, you know I'm from New World, right," Lilia said.

"Yes."

Lucas remembered when he saw her covering her face when they entered the New World. At first, he thought that she may be a runaway princess or some noble who went away. But because she didn't tell him and looked afraid, he didn't question it.

Or because he didn't think it was important anyway.

"You remember when I asked if you knew me... That day when you stared at me for a whole day from the corner." Lilia blushed as she said that. That day, Lucas had scarred her when he stared at her for a full day. But in the end, he just wanted to flirt with her. "I didn't want to tell you, even at this moment. Just promise me you won't get shocked."

"Okay, this is awkward," Lucas said, seeing Lilia is beating around the bush.

Calorina just stared at her "Just say it.

Lilia took a deep breath and said, "Lucas, Calorina, I may know a way to find your parents. I know someone who can find anyone with the best investigating network in the world."

Calorina quickly jumped as her eyes seemed to glow with hope and lifted Lilia from her collar, shaking her. "Quickly, tell me." Seeing that Calorina is shaking her with such strength, Lilia said: "put me down first."

'Don't tell me...' Lucas stared at Lilia and didn't even dare to see the future, out of fear that.

"Hell no." Lucas murmured as he lowered his head. He couldn't resist his urge to see the future.

When Lilia was put on the ground, she stared up at Calorina's eyes before she turned to Lucas.

"I can't assure you that my mother would help us. But if she did, we would find anyone in the world. Please, don't tell anyone or I may get executed."

Lucas put his hand on his heart. "A pirate, right. Your mom is a pirate."

Lucas was finding it hard not to cry.

"Who," Calorina asked Lilia. At this moment, she didn't care about any method. If a pirate can help, so be it.

"Sorry I wasn't honest with you," Lilia bowed.

She reached her shorts and grabbed something from her pocket. It was a white empty card that was glowing in purple light.

"Vivre Card," Calorina murmured.

"My real name is Charlotte Lilly, and my mom... is known as... Linlin, Emperor Big Mom."Lilia said.

'My poor life.'

"It's no time for Joking."
