Chapter 32: Chapter 30: Strawhat VS CP9

Chapter 30: Strawhat VS CP9

Seeing so many pirates reach up to this point, Spandam was angered!

“You Tako-pirates! Do you realize that no matter how brave you are, nothing would ever change!?”

“...”

“We have the full strength of an assassin group, CP9! We have the heavy Gates of Justice that human power cannot open! Moreover, I now have the authority to use this golden denden mushi to trigger the Buster Call!”

!!!

The Buster Call…!

Robin’s face paled as she heard this name and all sorts of memories started to resurface from her mind…

As if to add salt to the wound, Spandam didn’t shut up.

“That’s right. Exactly..20 years ago. It’s the power that obliterated your hometown, Nico Robin! The word ‘Ohara’ disappeared from the following year’s map, didn’t it!?”

Lucas started to get pissed.

This piece of trash doesn’t know when to shut up! This guy is easily one of the most hated characters in One Piece!

Thinking of this, intense killing intent let out from Lucas. One day...I’ll find the time to kill this bastard…!

Spandam suddenly felt chills down his spine and hurriedly looked to where Lucas was.

As soon as he saw his eyes...a deep fear emerged from within him!

“Hii-!”

In his fear, Spandam slipped and nearly fell off the balcony!

Fortunately...or not, Kaku had quickly grabbed him and saved him from falling into the deep abyss beneath…

Robin shot a grateful look at Lucas and turned back to Spandam.

“If you ask for the Buster Call now...you’ll be blown up too...along with Enies Lobby!”

“D-don’t be silly! How could we be blown up by our own allies’ attack!? What’re you talking about!?”

“20 years ago...just one attack took everything from me...as well as ruining the lives of many people! That is the Buster Call!”

Still, Spandam didn’t believe her.

Agitated, he pointed at the flag right above the Enies Lobby. The flag that bears the mark of the World Government.

“Look at that symbol! That mark represents the unity of over 170 nations in the Four Seas and the Grand Line! This is the world!”

Luffy looked at the flag and nodded.

“I understand. Usopp.”

“Hm?”

“Shoot...that flag.”

“Roger!”

This time, Usopp didn’t wear the mask of Sogeking...but this only made his resolve and courage strengthen than before!

Lucas was actually a bit worried that Usopp may not shoot the flag and had his water clone on standby and make an appearance if necessary.

But seeing Usopp aim his ‘Kabuto’, he knew that there was no need for him to worry.

“New weapon: The Great Pachinko...also known as ‘Kabuto’! Carefully observe its power!”

Usopp drew the string to the back and aimed.

“Ultimate...Firebird Star!”

*Shriiieekkk*

A blazing form of a phoenix shot forth and let out a cry as it sped towards the flag!

Spandam and the rest were dumbfounded!

Apart from the Strawhats, the only person smiling was...Lucas!

Taking advantage of the fact that everyone was still shocked, Lucas snapped a pic of the scene in secret and hid his phone from view.

Haha! Usopp, without that silly mask, you will truly become a legend in the seas this time!

On the ground, the marines watching finally snapped out when the flag was completely burnt!

“They’ve...done it…!”

“Do they even understand the meaning of attacking that flag!?”

“They’ve really done it now!!!”

“PIRATES HAVE...DECLARED WAR!!! AGAINST THE WORLD GOVERNMENT!!!”

“Are you bastards insane!? Don’t you dare to even dream that you’d survive having the world as your enemy!”

Spandam shouted towards Luffy and the rest, truly angered this time!

However, Luffy was unfazed as he shouted back even louder.

“I’D BE HAPPY TO LIVE WITH THAT!!!”

!!!

“Robin! Lucas! I know you’re there!!! If you don’t come, I’ll drag you over here myself!”

Inside the office, Lucas’ hands shook. He turned around and took a deep breath to calm his emotions.

After a while, he made his decision and flew outside!

Luffy and the rest finally saw Lucas for the first time after separating.

His wings were still as big as ever, seemingly stretching wide in order to protect everyone he cared for.

Now, those wings were stretched in front of Spandam and the rest of the CP9…

Lucas glanced at Luffy and flew up to the flag as he used his water to extinguish the fire and...repair the flag! Just as he did with Going Merry!

Time seemed to flow backwards at the ashes of the flag recollected itself and became whole once again!

Lucas was still confused as to what the true ability of his fruit was. At some times, it can heal, then sometimes, it can also ‘repair’ like this...it can’t really have to do with time right?

Though Lucas had all these unanswered questions inside him, Lucas shook the thought away and focused on the matter at hand.

Finally, he spoke.

“Luffy. You say that you want to save me?”

“That’s right! Now come back here!”

“...I saw your fight with Blueno. Gear Second, is it?”

Suddenly, steam started to appear out of Lucas as his skin had a hue of red.

Burn! 1st Degree...Heatman!

“I...can do that too!”

“!!!”

While holding onto the flag of the World Government and releasing steam, he looked down on Luffy.

“Do you think you’re now strong enough to save me? Or are you relying on your Gear Third?”

“!!!”

Luffy, you need to get even stronger...much faster than in the original story! You need to be stronger faster if you want to protect those you failed to protect in the story I know…!

Lucas wanted to say this but he had to keep his act for now…as much as it pains him…

If he keeps on solving everything that comes in Luffy’s way, then Luffy wouldn't ever become a Pirate King!

Lucas loved this story and the characters in it when he was in his home world...that’s why, although he doesn’t know how the story is going to end now...he can still...make sure they all reach their ending!

“You can’t even save Robin! You can’t even defeat Lucci! Do you know how many times I’ve beaten that cat already!?”

“C-cat…”

Lucci’s face twitched when he heard this but he can’t do anything to Lucas due to his strength...on the other hand, Jabra was trying hard not to laugh…

Luffy couldn’t care less about their reactions as he shouted.

“I’ll save Robin! I’ll defeat that cat! Then I’ll save you! I don’t believe I can’t!”

“...”

Lucci became even more pissed!

Now he really wants to pummel this brat!

This was the effect that Lucas wanted. Only this way, would Luffy become more powerful!

If he loses...well, he has his water clone in standby. As expected, Lucas still didn’t want them to die here…

Beside Robin, Franky was grinning.

“Hahaha! Well said Strawhat!”

Suddenly, he took hold of Robin and his...ass started to expand!

“Get ready now! Coup de...Boo!!!”

*Booooooooooo!*

Lucas looked at Franky’s ass exploding as they flew over Luffy’s side and sighed in relief.

Un, I know I felt something bad was going to happen if I stayed there...good thing I moved up here…

He could see Spandam and the others cough from the smell with tears in their eyes.

By the time Lucci reacted, Franky and Robin were already halfway there!

“Geppo!”

Lucci jumped on the air and tried to reach them. At this time, Luffy acted.

“Gear Second!”

“!!!”

“Gomu gomu no...Jet Rifle!”

“Tekkai! Gh-!?”

In an instant, Luffy had appeared in front of Lucci in midair and attacked!

Surprised, Lucci transformed and performed Tekkai, just narrowly avoiding taking the full force of the attack!

Lucas looked at the scene and sweated…

Uhh, how come the story suddenly differed right at the start!?

Unlike in the original, Lucas had already convinced Robin to go back with Luffy and the rest so there wasn’t any of their drama...well, it seemed to have been replaced with his own drama…

And Franky also didn't get to use his Coup de Boo before so he was able to use it now, leading to this scenario.

With this...it became totally different now...is it?

Lucas scratched his head, thinking on how to best resolve this. After a while, he just shrugged.

Meh, forget it. I’ll leave it up to fate.

…

Suddenly, the drawbridge between the two was lowered.

The Frankies Family and the Galley-la shipwrights all looked up to see that Robin and Franky already made their way here…

“We opened the drawbridge for nothing!”

“...”

Hearing them, Lucas coughed and looked away as he felt guilty…

On the roof, Franky and Robin just landed.

Franky’s chains were easy to remove but Robin’s sea stone cuffs were a bit problematic.

While Luffy and the rest were trying to remove her cuffs, Franky stood up and faced Spandam and the CP9. In his hands was a stack of papers with a word written at the front.

[PLUTON]

“Is that...it can’t be! The blueprints for the ancient weapon, Pluton!?”

Franky grinned.

“It’s the real deal, can ya believe it? Lucci, Kaku, you should know too, right?”

Franky showed a glimpse to the two. Though they were quite far, their eyes are still topnotch. It was no problem for them to see it clearly.

“!...”

“I can’t believe it...you bastard, you were keeping it inside your body this whole time?”

Hearing their confirmation, Spandam started drooling.

“It’s the real deal!? Quick! Quickly get that for me!”

Franky grinned as he took a deep breath…!

*Fwoooosh*

“!!!”

Fire spewed out from his mouth and...burned the blueprints!!!

“Ahhhh!!! Bastard! What are you doing!? Dammit, I’m gonna kill you! The mission we spent 5 years on…!!! Lucas! Quick! Do as you did to the flag! Restore the blueprints!”

In his panic, Spandam turned to Lucas but when he did, he only received a cold glare.

“Who are you to order me around?”

“H-hii!?”

“This is the fruit of your actions. I am not obligated to clean up your mess!”

Lucas snorted and went off. From here on, he will no longer show himself…ahem, of course, the water clone is a different story…

Back to where Luffy and the others were, they were still trying to get Robin’s cuffs off.

“Dammit, I can’t cut through them!”

“We need a key!”

As if hearing them, Spandam laughed.

“Hahaha! So what if you got Nico Robin!? The key is here with us! If you want to free her, come get it!”

“Grrr!”

“Luffy! Forget the key! We’ll figure something out later! Right now, we need to leave this island and head back to Water 7!”

Robin could tell that Luffy was still going to fight his way in despite her already being there with them so she had to explain.

“Lucas made a bet with the marines. As long as we get out and head to Water 7, we’ll be safe! If we lose here...then Lucas would forever become a slave!”

“!!!”

Everyone was surprised. But after a while, Luffy just nodded.

“Un. In that case, there’s no problem.”

“Huh?”

Luffy grinned as he held onto his straw hat.

“I won’t lose.”

...

What happened next was nearly the same as the original story. Only this time, when everyone else had split off to find the CP9 members and get a key, Lucci came to Luffy and Robin on his own to pick a fight.

Franky ended up facing against Fukurou while he was still looking for cola to refill himself.

Usopp found Jabra and before they started to fight, Zoro and Kaku fell from the floor above. Just like in the original story, Usopp was still an idiot and somehow ended up cuffing him and Zoro together, which led to Chopper looking for a Number 2 key…

Meanwhile, Sanji met Kalifa and they got into a fight...well, as expected from Sanji who has 0 damage to women even in games...Sanji lost immediately and was thrown over to where Nami was.

Kalifa looked down on them from the upper floors and smiled.

“That guy is no use...I can’t feel the same excitement as when facing ‘that man’”

“...By any chance, ‘that man’ wouldn’t happen to be Lucas, would it?”

Nami’s face twitched and there seemed to be a dark aura appearing around her.

“Oh?”

Hearing Nami, Kalifa’s eyes narrowed and grew colder.

“Little girl...you’re still too young for that.”

“Old hag, I bet you’re still a virgin aren’t you?”

“...”

In the middle of all this, aside from Sanji who fell unconscious and Chopper who was innocently tilting his head in confusion...Lucas, who was observing everything from afar, felt chills down his spine!

Women...are scary...

Back in the battle between Luffy and Lucci, Robin was still handcuffed and unable to join the fight.

Suddenly, she seemed to have felt something but couldn’t quite grasp what it is…

“...Why do I feel like I’m missing out on something else?...”
