Chapter 260

Wano Country, Onigashima, inside Woman Trouble, which was the brothel owned by Black Maria, Black Maria was walking forward, with small steps, while thinking that Kaido's daughter and her, surprisingly, little lover were following behind her.

"Are you staring," asked Maria while walking forward, as she felt some eyes on her perky butt.

"Maybe," Lucas said, feeling Yamato trying to squeeze his stomach.

"Silly, just you and Yamato are enough to each other." Maria nodded, feeling quite happy that Yamato had found someone to love and even hug furiously, so she would keep him away from the prostitute. Giving them a last glance, she had one idea, 'They make a cute couple. Yamato wasn't kidnapped, but escaped... ha, now if Kaido comes here, things would get rough.'

Though they are enemies, things haven't provoked yet. Besides, she knew about Lucas's strength – if he fought, then even their Disasters won't be enough – so, it was better to trick him and Yamato to leave this country, or make the hostages exchanging go better.

Though, she felt quite bad for Yamato, as she found a man she loves. But at the same time, she was happy that this girl stopped acting like a man.

"Well. Sure," said Yamato, still following behind her while trying her best to sound normal.

Lucas now wasn't attached to her chest.

A few seconds ago, Lucas used his finger to sweep on Yamato's stomach, moving them to make characters – language characters – on her skin. That was a hidden letter, which Yamato understood. It said, 'I'll go back quickly'

"So, Yamato."

"Ah."

"Tell me, do you think yourself a man now."

"No. A man can't feel what I felt."

"Lucky you." Her tone holding a mix between jealousy and sadness, Black Maria made a cloudy smoke circle from her pipe as she stopped in front of one huge gate. She held the giant door and said, "I think I need to speak some words, with Military Consoler."

"Wait, Maria, I'll be back quickly."

Yamato gulped as she turned and walked toward the bathroom.

"Hey, it's not like I am going to eat you," Maria shouted as she saw Yamato hugging her chest area while walking to the bathroom.

She followed Yamato with her Haki and indeed she found her indeed looking and talking to Lucas.

Maria sighed as she turned and entered her room. Sitting down, she picked up her pipe and smoked while waiting for Lucas and Yamato to go back. Her hand was shaking. Things may go hard if the Lucas had lost his nerves.

She held a DenDenMushi in her hand and started thinking about whether she should call for back up or not. But remembering that Yamato, someone from the same race, that she had been nursing and taking care of since she was little, she sighed. Unlike some officers, she doesn't have a sadistic side, though, it doesn't mean she won't do the job quickly and kill when there is a need.

"Where have you been?" Yamato whispered, her heart was pounding fast and fast.

"All are done."

-x-X-x-

A few minutes earlier, after leaving a hidden message on Yamato's thighs, Lucas vanished from the sight.

He didn't come here to fulfil his promise to Kaido, since there isn't an official wife – possibly that Blondie, who should be like a concubine or love interest. The reason that Lucas came here for is to save his relatives, Calorina's parents who, according to Gerd, were beaten badly by the pirates that kidnapped them.

Well, he is happy that he came here alone. Who knew that Kaido can be this cunning when it comes to dealing with hostages? Someone else who moves based on emotions wouldn't be able to deal with that.

*Swish*

Lucas was moving using his Ghost Footwork, which was one that had evolved from the system. While moving around, no one could notice him, even those who had Haki. Since this was a brothel, Lucas felt some temptation – he isn't gay. Sometimes he had to stop, as there is one of his favourite types of girls inside this place, Asian girls with fairy skin, hourglass figures, and huge chests and blossom arses. It was hard for him not to give a glance.

Such a deadly trap set by Kaido, Lucas almost fell for it.

He shook his head as he has to focus.

After crossing the way, passing by some prostitutes who had felt some touches on their butts coming from thin air, Lucas finally stopped in one place.

It was a dark place, because of the faint lighting.

There were two bulky men who had swords on their back and were giving the aura of Swords Masters, standing at the back of Woman Trouble, talking and exchanging words, their faces were ugly.

"What a hard job."

"Yeah."

"All these hot women make my life hard... but we can't slack, or the owner would kick us away."

"She is scary."

The two men were complaining about their life and how they have to stand here like saints, while there are a lot of beauties waiting for them.

"Ha~ just let's do our job until the night shift comes, or, Mister Kaido, comes."

"I wish that he won't take long, or I may lose my sanity here."

As they were talking, a voice came behind them, bending itself between their conversations in a very natural flow.

"Is there a door that leads bellow the ground here?"

"Ah, there is a secret passage..." one of the swordsmen started to talk. But very soon, they shut their mouths upon realising that someone had appeared behind them.

They opened their eyes widely and were about to act according to their plan.

The first guard held his sword and shouted at his friend.

"Someone sneaked here. RING the bell. Quickly"

The two of them of course turned, yet one of them yelled at his friend to ask for help. Both of them had one job which is to guard the hostages and inform them.

The two of them were really strong and had trained at Haki and swordsmanship, so they were trusted to guard them.

But unfortunately, Lucas had his hand on their legs. And a second already had passed.

<<More More: Temperature x100>>

After a full second, Lucas used one of his most fearsome abilities.

The two persons looked at Lucas, who was tall as their legs and didn't know what happen when he touched them.

But then, in instant, their heat surpassed the magma's and became like 3700°.

For an instant, their bodies glowed. For another instant, their colour changed to grey, and they started to fall like dust, grey dust.

They turned into ashes.

They didn't even know how they died or when, but, after a simple second, any trace they held in this world had vanished.

[+50.000 Accumulated XP]

[+23.000 Accumulated XP]

Lucas retracted his hand and looked coldly at the ashes of the people around him, his hand got a slight burn, but it wasn't that much, as it healed with his skill Massage Body.

That reminded Lucas to wrap his hand with Haki when doing that. Looking at the ashes, Lucas thought that it took him a full second to turn the two persons into ashes.

'This reminds me, after beating Aokiji, I can increase one level of DFM.'

Lucas then reached the ground and pulled something like a secret door that leads to the ground. After opening it, Lucas vanished and the door behind it got closed.

Lucas found that he has to cross a hall in order to reach a big vast room. There was one guard that was sleeping next to a cage that held two masked people, who had a small meal next to them. The guard, of course, looked many times stronger than the two Lucas had met in the entrance.

"Lucas!" some blonde woman who had her face covered by mask shouted. The man also stood up weakly and held the door, looked forward.

Like they didn't believe what they, they started rubbing their eyes thinking that it was their imagination.

"John, Caroline," Lucas called, seeing that they have the same physique as his uncle and aunt, and the same hair. He could easily tell it was them.

"Nephew, you are here." The man, who is called John, said. Biologically, he was the brother of Lucas's biological father. He soon shouted, "Quickly, run away, this place is full of monsters."

Lucas let a smile, "No need to worry anymore."

The guard, who was sitting next to the cage, snapped out of his sleep and looked around, to shout on the two, who would shriek in fear usually when he does that.

"Ha- didn't I tell you to shut up, or I would throw some lions inside the cage." The guard shouted. He then turned when he heard slow steps approaching him. He clearly saw his reflection on clear sky blue eyes. Was he a client at this brothel who missed his way, but he shouldn't be able to enter here, as there are two samurais guarding outside.

It must be that he made his way forcefully here.

Lucas approached the sitting guard; before he can stand up, Lucas gave him a simple slap that threw the guard to the ground, his neck broken and his eyes are lifeless.

The two masked persons, who had chains made of sea stone, looked shocked as they saw this.

The woman suddenly started talking, her sound was full of fear, "Hey, Lucas, tell me, Calorina didn't come here." She shouted in worry, "why did you even come. This place is owned by a giant scary dragon."

As someone from East Blue, they weren't much different from the people of Earth, who aren't used to the bizarre features of Grand Line.

"No Caroline. I'm here alone."

"Listen, you must escape quickly."

After arriving here, seeing the Grand Line, they thought it was very scary, even for their daughter and nephew.

Looking at the jail in front of him, Lucas held the bars and opened them widely, twisting them and bending the cage bars.

The two shut their mouths when they saw Lucas's hands reaching their masks and taking them off.

Two faces were revealed.

Indeed, it was them.

"Lucas."

John called when he saw Lucas had his opened jaw when he looked at their faces.

"Who did this?" Lucas asked. After seeing their faces, Lucas knew it was the right decision to not bring Calorina here, as she would lose her mind if she saw her parent's faces now. They were full of wounds. At the past, both of them was a handsome man and a charming woman; but with such faces, he wouldn't be able to link them to the past.

Lucas didn't wait for an answer as he reached the Sea Stone shackles and held them with his bare hands. Though his increasing power was deactivated temporally, his original strength is still there.

With a strong twist, plus his passive level 20 Iron Mass hard body and Titanium mass, plus Armament Haki Lucas, with great strength, could break the Sea Stone. Usually, he shouldn't be able to do that, but his anger made him break it easily. (Even Vergo can break Sea Stone.)

Caroline and John, whose face was blue and red, didn't answer as they barely believed their eyes.

"The two of you can rest now." Lucas calmly said, before raising both of his hands. He then chopped down on their necks, knocking them out instantly.

Before they could fall, Lucas held their sleeping body and put them inside his storage.

*Pa* *Pa*

Lucas patted his clothes from the ashes. He then lifted his head and looked at one direction. Taking a deep breath, he murmured to himself.

"It's my time to fulfil my promise to Kaido."

-x-X-x-

Yamato was looking at Lucas, surprised, after she left the room, pretending to take Lucas to the bathroom. Yamato didn't believe that it didn't take this long after Lucas had vanished.

"Where have you been?" Yamato whispered, her heart was pounding fast and fast. It had

"All are done." Lucas said, before smirking "Almost."

"Quickly, jump here," Yamato said, opening her arm and inviting him to her chest. "Maria is waiting and I don't want to make her raise suspicions."

"Ah, the pretty owner."

"Hey, am I not pretty enough for you." Yamato put her hand on her waist, not liking the joke Lucas is making.

However, she noticed that Lucas's mood had changed a lot.

He is smiling and joking now.

In fact, he looked like he was holding his laugh back.

"Of course, you are, my little dragon girl."

"Haha. Not compared to you." Yamato let a lifeless laugh.

"Wanna bet," Lucas said, turning his head.
