Chapter 99: Chapter 93: Real Power?

Chapter 93: Real Power?

Who knows what was going on Monet’s head but she seemed to be entranced by Luna’s cuteness that she nodded.

“Okay…”

“...”

Hearing Monet say that, Lucas could feel a deathly glare from Hina…

Lucas coughed to snap everyone out of it and quickly pulled Luna away from Monet.

“Alright, Luna is just fooling around. Anyway...are you still going to fight, Monet?”

“Husband, I wouldn't fight anymore…”

“...”

At the side, a vein popped up on Hina’s forehead and her killing intent gushed out.

Without a word, she used her ability and restrained Monet with the seastone cuffs on her feet as well.

Monet showed a pitying look as she spoke.

“How rude, I said I won’t fight anymore.”

“You shut up. Since Luna took a liking to you, you will be her pet from now on!”

Hina snorted and tossed her to the side.

Lucas smiled wryly seeing how pissed Hina was. He can only comfort her a bit.

“Okay, just leave her alone for now. If I’m right, Law still has her heart. Later, we can just take it from Law and we can let her play with Luna.”

“That’s good. Hina will keep her heart then.”

Hina nodded in satisfaction and no longer looked angry.

Betty approached them and asked.

“Found your guy?”

“Yeah, we’re good to go on our side. How about you guys?”

“We still need to find Caesar and the S.A.D. factory so we can destroy the damn thing.”

“S.A.D. is...from what I remember, is supposed to be one of the components to create SMILEs, right? That artificial Zoan devil fruit?”

Lucas thought as he recalled some details in the original story. The S.A.D. was also Law’s goal for infiltrating this place and sought to destroy it as well as kidnap Caesar.

Betty nodded and continued.

“Yeah. Caesar’s producing these and gave them to Doflamingo to create more SMILEs. Before, I heard that he has been collaborating with Kaido and providing his crew with hundreds of SMILEs. With the Shichibukai system abolished, Doflamingo isn’t able to hide in plain sight anymore so he started to collaborate with the World Government secretly and provided them with a lot of SMILEs. I hear they have been testing the products in the independent country of Wano.”

Lucas frowned when he heard that.

“Testing? What do you mean?”

“It means, despite the amazing ability of being an artificial Zoan devil fruit, SMILEs aren’t perfect yet and there is a high chance of failing.”

As soon as he heard that, killing intent released from Lucas as he thought of the fate of Wano.

Lucas only knew a bit regarding SMILEs so he didn’t know about the situation in Wano. Knowing that Oden’s people are being experimented on...Lucas had already made up his mind.

Doflamingo...Kaido...World Government…

Lucas vowed in his life that he will see to it that they are all dead beneath his feet!

Exhaling deeply, Lucas looked back at Betty.

“Let me deal with Caesar. You guys take care of the children they captured in the other room. Take them out of this building and as far away as you can. Once I have Caesar, I’m going to blow this whole place and send it to hell!”

Betty looked at Lucas in the eye for a while then nodded.

“Alright. I trust you. Let’s go.”

She gestured over to the other revolutionaries and quickly made their way to the other room Lucas pointed to them where the children are.

Lucas and his group made their way to Caesar’s room. He had already used his Observation Haki to see where he is.

While Hina dragged Monet to follow them, Lucas waved his hand which turned into a black blade and a straight path was cut on the walls to lead them straight towards Caesar.

Caesar at the moment was mocking Law who Vergo had captured and tossed in a cage made of seastone, when suddenly, the walls at the side was cut open.

Vergo was surprised as well and his body turned black as he covered himself with Armament Haki.

However, it was a futile effort.

Lucas stretched his hand and a black blade appeared in his hands. The blade is actually just a blade of water which was also clad in Armament Haki.

He swung the blade and used Law’s ability to directly sever Vergo’s body without killing him.

Lucas continued to swing a few more times and cut him into pieces that scattered on the floor. Though he was like this, he was still very much alive.

Caesar finally snapped out of it and released gas followed by a spark using an instrument in his hands.

“Gastanet!”

The spark ignited the gas and caused it to explode.

Caesar snorted as if he had already won.

“Hmph! Though I have no idea who you are, you-”

“Are you done?”

Hearing the casual voice and seeing the unharmed look on Lucas, Caesar’s jaw dropped to the ground.

“My turn.”

Lucas used Law’s ability to teleport right in front of Caesar by switching himself and the air in front of Caesar.

Then, he placed his palm on Caesar’s chest and pushed.

“Mes!”

A cube-shaped heart was pushed out from behind Caesar.

Picking the heart up, Lucas squeezed on it tightly and Caesar started to squeal in pain.

Lucas clicked his tongue.

Sure enough, Law’s ability is so damn OP…

Looking at Law who looked dumbfounded while still locked up, Lucas asked.

“How is it you still lose with such a cheat ability?”

“...They got my heart.”

“Ah.”

Lucas looked around and saw another cube heart on Vergo’s pockets.

“Let’s trade then. Your heart for Monet’s.”

“Why do you want her heart?”

“My kid seems to like her and I don’t trust her.”

Law hesitated for a moment then nodded. Lucas slashed at the cage around Law and tossed him his heart back.

“Actually, I don’t have her heart anymore. Caesar has it.”

“I’ll just take it then.”

Lucas clenched Caesar’s heart again until he handed off Monet’s heart.

“Take it! Just take it! Please spare me!”

Monet looked annoyed and disappointed seeing Caesar willingly give out her heart just like that.

After Caesar presented Monet’s heart, Hina took it and clenched it to make sure. Immediately after, Monet also squealed in pain.

Kinnemon and Momonosuke saw the hearts and was amazed.

“What is this sorcery!?”

“Is it a Forbidden Jutsu!? Amazing!”

Meanwhile, Luna watched all this and tilted her head cutely.

She spread her arms to Lucas asking to be carried so Lucas smiled and carried her in his arms.

Suddenly, she patted on his chest and lightly pushed.

“Mes!”

A cube-shaped heart appeared behind Lucas.

“...”

Luna quickly jumped away and took Lucas’ heart.

“Hehe! I have Daddy’s heart!”

Everyone was silenced and didn’t know how to react.

Lucas sweated hard at how his daughter was just as cheaty as him...

“L-Luna~ My sweet beautiful clever girl~...Please give daddy’s heart back…”

“Hehe, nope! I like it! I will keep with me forever~”

“...”

Lucas was in tears.

You can play with it all you want...just don’t drop it please…

At the side, Caesar laughed at Lucas’ predicament making Lucas pissed off so he started stomping on his heart.

Caesar squealed even louder.

Lucas sighed then carried Luna away.

Anyway, it should still be safe as long as Luna has it. This child is so cheaty so nothing will happen to her. As long as she safe keeps it properly...Lucas has nothing to be afraid of.

Later, he’ll just have to keep trying to sweet-talk her into giving his heart back.

He’ll just let her play with it for a while first until she’s satisfied. Else, if he takes it and she cries...god knows what will happen then.

Monet’s already been freed from her cuffs since Hina has her heart so she could only obediently follow.

The cuffs were given to Caesar instead to keep him solid as Kinnemon pulled him along.

Even though Lucas has his heart, he didn’t want to let Caesar off easily so he was still being pulled roughly.

Seeing Lucas and the others leave, Law called out to them.

“Wait.”

“Hm?”

“We still need to destroy the factory.”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. It’s not too late to destroy it once we’re outside.”

Lucas shrugged and didn’t continue to explain.

Law hesitated for a moment before following them out.

“What are you going to do with Caesar?”

“Hand him to the Revolutionaries. They seem to have use for him.”

Law thought for a moment and spoke.

“Let me have him for a few more days. With him, I can draw Doflamingo out.”

“We’ll talk later. For now, let’s get out of here.”

After that, Lucas no longer spoke to him and simply carried Luna as they walked outside.

The large dragon was still waiting for them outside. After seeing Lucas, it immediately flew down and lowered its head to let them ride.

“You tamed this dragon?”

Law asked but Lucas continued to ignore him.

Then, he remembered that the dragon doesn’t have a name yet.

Smirking, Lucas patted the dragon and spoke.

“From now on, you will be named...Igneel.”

Yep, a fire breathing dragon named Igneel sounds about right.

Lucas chuckled and got on top of him while the rest followed.

Once everyone was on board, Igneel flew off to the skies.

Looking down, Lucas saw where Betty and the other revolutionaries are and ordered Igneel to head there.

They were all in a ship already a few distances away from the island along with the kids they found.

Lucas looked back at the island and patted Luna on the head.

“Luna, do you want to see some fireworks?”

“Un!”

Luna nodded as her eyes sparkled in excitement.

Lucas smiled and pointed to the sky above the island.

Suddenly, numerous yellow dots appeared.

He was copying Kizaru’s ability to control light and condensed numerous light lasers to gather above Punk Hazard.

With a swing of his finger, all the light dots started to beam down on the island as if it were a rain made of light.

Then…

*BOOOOOOOOOOOM*

A loud explosion occurred on the island.

By the time the light faded, the whole island was riddled in large holes.

Actually, Kizaru might not be able to replicate the same result. This was the product of Lucas trying to test out his powers.

With this experiment, Lucas was even more sure now what his powers were...and the thought of it made his shake in fright...but also in excitement.

Just the idea of this power was completely nonsensical...it was too overpowered that it didn’t make sense at all.

Lucas continued to wonder how this ability of his was even able to form or even exist.

His power wasn’t copying, absorbing, upgrading, or adapting.

It was...his wish.

Right...this power of his seems to come from his deep wishes.

When he first arrived in this world, he knew that he didn’t have the power to go toe to toe with the people here who had special abilities or strong physiques.

But he wanted power...so he started training his body.

He was weak. So weak that he couldn’t even do a few push-ups. He wanted to continue but his body couldn’t handle it.

That time, in the deepest depths of his heart, he wished he could continue...and then he did. A warm sensation covered his body and he was no longer exhausted.

After that was being sucked dry by Crocodile.

Lucas knew that if he could only have some water, he could still remain alive. As he was slowly dying, this wish was in his deepest thoughts as well.

That was when he gained the water logia ability.

Logia abilities can actually only control the element that is connected to their body. But for some reason, he can control the water outside of his body. Before, he didn’t think much of it and thought that he might just be special but thinking about it now, it was because his wish probably didn’t exclude that.

The wings as well.

He had gained them because he wished for it as he was falling. He thought that having wings would be cool...then he did.

When he was frozen by Aokiji, because he kept limiting himself into thinking that he only had a water logia ability and a few others, he worked around it and thought of gaining a hot water ability. If he had wished to get fire abilities, he would probably have gained it at that time.

Everything that happened...every new ability he gained...was because he had wished for it in the deepest of his thoughts.

It may have been unconscious, but the thought was still there.

Then, when he was about to die in that war 2 years ago, Lucas could vaguely remember wanting to see Roger in the afterlife.

The result was a bit different but he did see Roger after that. For some reason, his ability had shifted himself backward in time. In the time of Roger.

But...Lucas also recalled that he tried willing himself to time travel as well? How come he couldn’t do it?

There must be something else...something he’s missing.

Thinking for a moment, Lucas tried to experiment more with his power.

He patted on Igneel’s head and closed his eyes as he recalled the image of Igneel that he knew of in the anime called Fairy Tail that he used to watch in his previous world.

The next moment, Igneel’s body started to glow a faint red light. When the light subsided, his whole body had changed into an even larger and more robust red dragon!

*ROAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!*

Hearing the lively roar of Igneel, Lucas started to laugh.

Hahahaha! What a damn broken ability this is!

“Woooow! Daddy, Ig-chan became more awesome!”

Luna exclaimed when he saw the magic happen.

Lucas chuckled and looked back at the broken remains of Punk Hazard.

He will continue to experiment more on it later on. For now, he decided to finish the matters at hand.

Lucas lifted his hand up and clenched his fist.

Instantly, the water surrounding the island suddenly rose and closed in on the entire island as if it was swallowing it whole!

After that...the island was no more.

Watching all this, Caesar’s face was completely white and he was badly afraid.

‘Huhuhu, just what sort of god did I offend!?’

He wanted to cry but no tears came out.

Monet also saw everything and looked at Lucas thoughtfully.

‘Maybe...it’s not bad to follow him after all…’

Hina saw her expression and quietly clenched her heart.

Monet cried in pain while Hina snorted.

‘Hmph, don’t even think about it. Hina came first!’

Both Kinnemon and Momonosuke’s jaw dropped to the ground. In their hearts, they were crying.

‘Lady Toki...why can’t you just keep him for a while? With him, we could’ve killed Kaido!’

‘Mother...why did you have to send Uncle Lucas away? Even if you cheat on Father, I won’t mind it if it’s Uncle Lucas!’

If Lucas knew what was going on in Momonosuke’s head, who knows what he’ll do to him. Actually, forget it. If Oden was still alive and knew what Momonosuke was thinking, he’ll probably drag him down with him to hell!

AN: Plot twist! Toki sent him away cause she was afraid she was really about to cheat!...of course that’s just a joke :P

As for Law...everyone seemed to have forgotten him already. He was crouching on a far end while drawing circles on the dragon’s back…

Lucas ignored their reactions and asked Igneel to hover beside Betty’s ship.

Lowering its head, Lucas walked down to her ship and greeted her.

“Yo. Are the kids safe?”

“...You really are a monster…”

Betty’s cigarette had long dropped to the ground without her notice as she was too dumbfounded with what just happened.

She sighed and shook her head.

“Now I really am interested in bearing your child.”

“...”

“Fine, we’ll talk about that later. The kids are all safe. But I’ve had the doctors aboard check on them. They seemed to have been drugged heavily.”

Lucas sweated.

What do you mean we’ll talk about that later!? Are you really that hell-bent in bearing my child!?

After a while, Lucas sighed and nodded.

“Alright. For now, I’ll have them hide on my island and get some treatment. Here’s Caesar’s heart.”

Lucas motion at Kinnemon and he soon threw Caesar on the ship as well.

“Wait!”

Suddenly, Law shouted.

“Let me have Caesar for a few days. I need him to lure out Doflamingo.”

Betty frowned and asked.

“What do you want with that bastard?”

“Revenge.”

Betty continued to frown and looked over to Lucas. Since he was the one who caught Caesar, she’ll let him decide.

Lucas looked at Betty and asked her.

“Why do you guys want Caesar?”

“To stop that bastard’s supply.”

“Alright. Killing Doflamingo will also have the same effect. I’ll stick to this emo and make sure Doflamingo is dead. I also have something I need to vent against him.”

“Emo…”

Law muttered but shook it off.

No matter what, having this guy with him will raise his chances of success by a whole lot!

He was also thinking of having an alliance with the Strawhats too.

Betty thought for a moment and nodded.

“Alright. He’s yours then. But on one condition.”

“What?”

Law asked casually but Lucas had a bad feeling about this…

Betty grinned and placed both her hands on her hips, further displaying the impressive rack on her chest that was only covered by an open jacket.

“I’ll be coming as well.”
