84 Chapter 84

Mister 3 fell in the middle of everyone's eyes to the ground with a Z shaped wound on both of his back and chest.

Everyone presents from baroque works was shocked by the events. Who wouldn't be shocked after seeing a masked man appearing from thin air and somehow, after ten guns fire at him, he appears in a different place and before they get his location, their Mr.3 is dead.

Vivi who was lifted on Lucas's shoulder didn't see anything of that. She was looking to the opposite side with red tomato cheeks since there was a hand on her soft buttock. In her life, she was a respected and honourable princess that have never felt what it is like to be touched in lewd parts. Even after she grew up and joined the Baroque works, she was never touched by a man and felt like that. And the fact that this situation was similar to the fairy tales where a princess meets the dark knight who saves her from enemies, has made things difficult to ignore.

[Ding. Wax-Wax fruit is in the storage]

This fruit, allows the user to become a wax man, gaining the ability to turn parts of the body into wax, creates wax and control it, and wax artefacts. As any devil fruit, this fruit's potentials depend more on the user's creativity, and along with Haki, it can create deadly weapons which would be harder than metal. Mister 3 wasn't a creative person as he could only depend on his fruit's ability without adding a personal touch. He could create giant moving armour and a big artefact with his ability that could trap two legendary giants. Yet he couldn't think of making guns, or spears or anything. (another fruit with many potentials, just think about Katakori whose fruit was similar type)

Lucas wasn't in a situation to keep thinking about this fruit as there sill more fruits to extract, and he has to focus on protecting Vivi.

Lucas was the type of person who wouldn't wait for his enemies until they wake up from their shock. While the people of the Baroque works were in the middle of their shock trying to process what has happened. Lucas held his black rapier with his right hand and waved in the air. From his rapier's thin blade, flew big blue sword energy in arc's shape toward the armed men.

At the second their minds were able to work, they found the big compressed air blade in front of them. They weren't able to react, neither had enough speed reaction. And they got cut and flew back from the impact. Lucas is a grandmaster swordsman. So, his cutting skills are very high. And the damage he does isn't tolerable by ordinary or quite strong people. And those people of Baroque work were like butter that got sliced by a hot knife.

Miss Goldenweek, the short girl, who was the partner of Mr.3 turned to run away. Who would stay here to fight a monster who sliced 11 strong men in less than a minute? She is still 16 years old and she has yet to become the artist she dreams of being. Lucas turned his head and saw her running. Since she was too short for a standard one-piece world's girl, he thought that she may be only a little kid who hasn't pass 13-14 years old, heck, she was even flat-chested which made him convinced that she is much younger.

'Little girl? Do I have to deal with kids too? This Crocodile is a really twisted minder person to hire kids in his schemes.'

'But still, she is a little girl so I'll be gentle '

If she was a mature woman, then he may have some romantic fight where he messes with her a bit. Little girls weren't his type, and never will. But that doesn't mean he would abandon his habit of being gentle with ladies since this is a future one.

Lucas extended his finger and used «Six King gun» to aim a small Shockwave. Before miss Goldenweek realizes what happens, she fell to the ground and lost her consciousness.

[+18 Accumulated XP]

'She didn't have a devil fruit, what a waste 'Lucas thought.

From Lucas's shoulder, Vivi turned her head as she wanted to see what has happened. Seeing what Is there made her feel a huge shock that it didn't bother her to be touched on her ass anymore. Mister 3, Miss Golden week, and the other agents are all lying on the hot sand. Some are dying, and the rest is already dead.

'Was he this strong 'Vivi thought this Zorro is more mysterious. Not only he can walk in the air, but also is very strong, and the way he saved her, made her feel he was charming. This was the result that usually provided by the first impression.

"Hey you "the woman, who look like a mole, was standing next mister 4. As Lucas looked at her, She vanished as she went under the ground.

The mole woman was smart. She knew that situation isn't on her side, so, she told her block-header partner to be ready to run while she would sneak under the ground, and kill Vivi quickly. Then they would escape and report to Crocodile. Their mission is to kill Vivi, as for this guy, messing with him was not their job.

Suddenly, a hole appeared next to Lucas and Vivi. Vivi saw that a humanoid mole flew toward her with her claws aimed at her. Mr.4's partner, who was in her hybrid mole form was above the ground slightly. She waved her long sharp claws toward Vivi intending to kill her.

Lucas moved his arm quickly and put Vivi down on the ground allowing her to avoid the claws before hitting her. Vivi suddenly found her self standing in front of Zorro who was looking forward. Lucas, with his Haki, felt where would the mole attack next. He wrapped his arm around Vivi's waist and grabbed her to his side.

"Hey" Vivi yelled with a hard blush on her cheeks. She was surprised to find herself being hugged to his side. This is embarrassing. But the next second changed her feeling to fear and shock as the Mole woman made a hole where she originally stood. That made her realize that her life was saved; She hugged Zorro's side out of the need to feel safe.

"Take a step back "

Vivi heard Lucas's words and nodded. Both of them took one step back. The next second. Lucas used his feet to unleash [Six king gun].

A sphere of an unleashed shockwave was formed around his boots. Because of the sand in the air, the sphere could be seen. Lucas then has unleashed the shockwave from his feet and directing it down.

*BAM*

The ground shook violently as he used the six-king gun, and the sand beneath his feet was pushed making a deep hole on the ground.

"Kyaa" Vivi was caught of surprise and lost her balance. Her body flew up a couple of meters as she couldn't handle the six-king gun beneath her despite not being aimed to her. Lucas jumped and lifted Vivi before she falls, then he landed away from the hole.

The mole woman appeared under the sands with wounds covering her body and a large amount of blood getting out of her mouth. This was the result of being attacked by the six king gun, The strongest technique of those who have a high mastery of the six superhuman techniques. The sand quickly went back to its place, filled the hole and buried the dead agent.

[Ding. Zoan-Type, Mole-Mole, the fruit is in the storage now]

Lucas looked to who he was holding between his arms, the scared expression on Vivi's face and the way she was closing her eyes, made him think this princess was cute. Lucas used his hand pushed a hair strand from the middle of her face to the side and asked: "Are you fine".

"A…" feeling his hand, and seeing the pose she is in, Vivi blushed for a brief before smiling weirdly. She started to get used to this. "Yes, thank you...Again " Vivi was looking to the silhouette of the mole woman, who is being buried by the sand.

"Now stay here as a good princess" Lucas put her on the ground on her feet.

"Ah" Vivi nodded. Then Her duck ran to her with an anxious expression on its face.

Lucas looked to see one person left here, who was lifting 4 tons bat effortlessly. But that person's brain is still trying to process what has happened. Lucas walked toward him, if Lucas's memory doesn't betray him, then the gun like weapon on Mr.4's back is a weapon that absorbed a zone type devil fruit.

(zoan fruit: is a fruit that allows the user to turn into an animal, and hybrid animal).

Lucas walked toward Mister 4 intending to end this. There is only one meter between them. Mister 4's body reacted faster than his mind; He waved his bat toward Lucas's face. Lucas reacted and extended his palm to block the bat. Lucas was using iron mass level 14 making his muscles harder than the steel itself, so he had the absolute confidence in his victory as he saw the near future already.

"DON'T "Vivi seeing this yelled, she knows how much that bat weight and how strong his wielder is. But her shout came late as Mister 4's bat landed on Lucas's hand. *Bam* The heavy metallic bat bent and lost its shape as it came in contact with Lucas's forehand. Lucas was still looking up to Mr'4's face without blinking or showing any hint of pain.

"Oo…" Mister 4 looked to his bat. His facial expression made an extreme shock. It doesn't need to be too smart to know that he was fucked up. His head started to release a cold from the fear of what will happens next.

Zorro lifted his rapier with the left hand and waved it gently. Mister 4 suddenly had a Z mark appearing on his chest. As Mr.4 looked to the slash on his chest with an opened jaw, Lucas made a fist and punched him on the belly using prince-straight which allowed him to use 3 times folds the whole-body strength and not just his arm. Mr.4's body, even with all of his inhuman strength, couldn't handle the strength of the impact. His internal organs were destroyed and his ribs broke into pieces. Finally, Mister 4 flew back to the sky.

Quickly, Lucas waved his sword to the location where Mister 4 will land. As Mr.4 fell, he found a sharp compressed air bade cut him along with his weapon that he didn't have a chance to use from the start of the fight.

[Ding, defeating Mister 4. + 3000XP

Swordsman ship +300 XP

Boxing +200XP].

[Ding. Zoan type. Dog-Dog Fruit, Model: Dachshun..]

"Wow…" Vivi looked with an opened jaw. She saw the state Mister 4 became in, then the people on the ground.

This is unbelievable. A few moments ago, she was the one who thought she would die.

This wasn't a filtered Manga and she could see the blood, the cuts and the sliced bodies. But it wasn't like she is seeing this for the first time. As a baroque agent, she has fought and wounded many pirates and saw many people get killed.

Looking to the dead Baroque work members, even though she felt a bit sorry for their end, she didn't feel it's unfair fate or anything. If Zorro didn't show up today, then her corpse would be in a worse state.

"The weather is really hot" Lucas cracked his bones. 'Not bad gaining today, 3 more devil fruits with one with potentials.'

Lucas then walked toward Vivi so he could hurry her to go in her way.

Seeing him approaching, Vivi joined her hands together and bowed down 90 degrees "Thank you for saving my life. I'm so grateful that I don't know how to pay you back"

Lucas opened his jaw a bit. Isn't she too humble for a princess? He patted her arm and said:" There is no need to think about it. Saving a beautiful princess is my job, so there is no need to feel you owe me anything"

Vivi blushed and stood straight looking to his eyes behind the mask.

'Is he flirting with me, or am I overthinking and he is trying to be nice, he is Miss Valentine's dad after all, but seeing how crazy Miss Valentine is, I bet she lost her mother, poor girl'

"Now, let's continue, I'll protect you in your way, "Lucas said. He needed her to reach the rebellion army's camp safely.

"Thank you, Zorro, I'll appreciate that " Vivi, knowing he is strong, felt that she needs his help badly. And she must accept it.

She was about to bow down again but Lucas stopped her. And so, they continued their journey to the rebels' camp.

Now, Lucas only has to wait for Crocodile to get the news that his men were defeated before things become interesting.
