"Who?" Tashigi, who was close to the MCPO Allex, voiced the question that many had at that moment.
Still glaring at Prictus the beard-goatee marine said with a grimace "Bounty worth seventeen million berries, his name is Prictus, first mate of the Ravenous Wolfs pirate crew. My guess was right, you really have been watching this whole time!" the face of many marines turned sour after hearing this information
Prictus smiled at MCPO "It's good to see that even people from the Grand Line know me" then he turned to Lucas with a funny look "You said earlier that I would only last a little more than my crew, huh?"
'A pirate worth seventeen million berries? I kinda expected more…' The marines, including Tashigi and Torlo, looked tensely at Prictus, but Lucas didn't seem even a bit fazed by the man. This is something very clear when you hear the calm tone on his voice "I'm just stating the truth"
"YOU!"
The pirates behind became trigged hearing Lucas words, but Prictus on the other hand just laughed amused "Hehehaho I acknowledge your strength, but it's hard to believe that a seaman apprentice if I heard right, would be able to beat me so easily"
"Hard to believe, huh?" putting his journal away Lucas cracked his knuckles in a very Garp manner "Care to try this out? The person who trained me could effortlessly deal with thousands of you, I would be scolded by him if couldn't beat a single you" with a grin he challenged the pirate, no one noticed, but at that point, his eyes had already turned dragon.
"Huh?!"
"He's serious?"
"Wai-"Many had been taken back by Lucas's declaration. Subconsciously Allex moved to prevent the young marine, but before he could do anything a hand grabbed him "What?" turning he saw that was the petty officer Torlo, who looked at him and shook his head.
"Let him do it" Tashigi that was close said to Allex, both her and Torlo didn't look that shocked with their friend words, if anything they appear to have been expecting something like this.
The MCPO wanted to retort, but then something hit him 'wait, he said his name is Lucas? … is him the grandson of Vice-Admiral Garp, Monkey D. Lucas, that people had been talking about?!' looking at Lucas he gasped 'All makes more sense if that's the case'
Prictus looked stunned for a second, but then he roared in laugh "Hehehaho such haughty words. I like that!" twirling both of his arms a couple of times he took a step forward "Let's see if you have what it takes to back them!"
"Sir Prictus!-"
"All if you, stand back" The spike hair pirate wanted to say something but he was cut by Prictus, who then ordered them to back away, leaving an open area in the cargo free for him and Lucas.
…
…
…
After seeing their people back down a little the two fighters didn't wait any longer, both marine and pirate dashed at each other.
The floor where they had been standing cracked a little at the intensity of their impulse.
Whoosshh!
Lucas reared his right fist and punched at the pirate, but to the surprise of many, Prictus hadn't rushed with his sword to attack. Instead, he also punched with his right, clearly wanting to meet Lucas's fist with his own.
"Such strength!"
"Wow"
"Look at them"
The clash of fists blasted wind around them with their strength, the pirates, and those who didn't know Lucas had been expecting that he would lose the clash, but to their surprise, he not only didn't lost but was in fact more than evenly matched with Prictus punch. This elicited gasps of both sides of the watching crowd.
'I shouldn't need to go hybrid' Evaluated Lucas on his mind at that split second when his fist clashed with Prictus.
Stepping back from the clash Prictus followed with another punch now from his left, but it was avoided by Lucas with a small jump to the side, and although he avoided, the fist's momentum was still felt by him.
"Roar!" PA!
With a low roar Lucas's left leg shot like a whip at the Ravenous Wolf pirate chest, but the man quickly acted, raising his right muscled arm he blocked the young marine kick "Urgh" Prictus felt that he underestimated the young man's strength, as even though he blocked the kick strength still made him groan a little.
Huffing Prictus flicked his arm and launched Lucas away. Having experienced this many times already with his grandpa, Lucas quickly adjusted his body. Putting his left hand in the ground he back-slide a little before regaining his balance.
Prictus gazed at Lucas "Looks like you really have some strength, that was a good kick" he said that in a joking tone, but his eyes betrayed his shock. He had underestimated Lucas's strength, he may have blocked the kick but the power behind it still made him groan.
"Haha" Seeing the shock on the man's eyes Lucas chuckled, a second later he was already dashing again at his enemy.
"AAARR!" Prictus saw this, then, going at the young marine he readied another punch with his left.
Seeing this Lucas showed sign of using his right to parry again Prictus's fist.
Shhhinng!
[P Horizon Slash]
But when they got close Prictus revealed his trick. Feigned his punch his right hand quickly grabbed the hilt of his sword and made a horizontal slash at Lucas's direction. The speed in what he did that showed his experience in doing that move.
"Oh No-"
"YES!"
Noticing Prictus move the marine cried out in worry, while the pirates, especially the spiked hair one, cheered loudly at their superior's move. But soon their expressions changed again.
Lucas has sensed his enemy little trick, using bigger agility than what he had shown earlier he jumped over Prictus and avoided the slash.
Slash! BANG!
The power of the slash ended up creating a wind blade that flew past the point where Lucas was before and crashed on a wooden crate a couple of meters behind. The front of the crate got blew up by the slash, splinters flew and the cannonballs that were inside the crate rolled out.
"Thankfully, no one was hiding behind that one" muttered Tashigi.
""You could say that again"" groaned both Torlo and the orange hair marine from the side as they picked some splinters from their bodies.
Back in the fight, Prictus assumed a wrath guard with his sword resting over his shoulder. Turning to face Lucas he said smirking "Seems like your agility is good too"
Having jumped in over his enemy Lucas had turned his body and landed standing a few meters back "One of my goals is to become Fleet-Admiral, I've train intensely to achieve that. I would have wasted that training if I couldn't see through such simple trick" this time Lucas didn't retort with a smile. When talking about one of his goals in this new life can make his voice turn more serious, showing to whoever is hearing that he, Monkey D. Lucas, is not joking.
"Huh?"
Hearing Lucas's words, not only Prictus, but all the pirates and marines, including Tashigi and Torlo, become stunned. They had not expected to hear such words coming from the white-haired seaman apprentice, especially the marines there.
Practically all of them had at one point or other dreamed of having a high rank in the Marine, and some of them might have thought about that legendary Fleet-Admiral position, but none of them have ever had the courage to say their goal is to be a Fleet-Admiral, especially not with such conviction that Lucas had in his words.
'So, this is your ambition Lucas? The seat of Fleet-Admiral… 'To both Tashigi and Torlo, the two closest to Lucas became even more touched by the conviction on their friend words.
Different from the others they didn't think that Lucas's goal was impossible, because they had been close to Lucas and had felt the aura that emanates from him, it was because of that unknown aura, that both of them believe Lucas goal is possible 'If I just could follow him and see how he achieve this goal…'
At the moment, unknowingly, they made a decision that had changed their lives.
...
Prictus raised his eyebrow "That's some bold dream" but then he grinned evilly "Wonder what face you will make when I defeated you, crushing your dreams to dust!" without warning Prictus dashed at Lucas.
[P -]
Bang!
Prictus made a vertical slash, which Lucas evaded by sidestepping, but when he did that Prictus followed with an attack using the flat side of his sword "HHMM!" Lucas crossed his arms defending the attack, but the blow ended up sending him flying at the right wall of the cargo area.
Again Lucas managed to adjust his landing, but this time Prictus was not going to let him slip, he dashed after Lucas, arriving before him a second after his landing. Laughing Prictus raised his sword in another vertical slash, but this time a real one.
Unfortunately for him, in his excitement, he failed to see the grin on Lucas's face, a draconic grin.
[-Crushing Slash]!
CLANG!
Prictus grinned from ear to ear when he saw his attack about to connect, but when the attack connected what he heard was not the so sweet sound of tearing flesh, instead, what he heard was the crisp sound of hitting metal, he felt liking hitting metal, a very strong metal at that.
"Huh?" coming back to reality Prictus looked at the end of his sword made him gasp with his eyes widening an impossible way.
At the end of his sword was Lucas's right hand effortlessly holding back the blade, but that was not what made him gasp, but yes the fact that Lucas's hand, along with his entire arm, didn't look human anymore.
His entire arm now was covered in powerful, black dragon scales that shined with metallic luster and hand that had become a five-fingers dragon claw. Not even a single scratch could be seen on the hand's scales holding the blade.
""WWHAAT?!""
"HOW?!"
"HIS ARMR!"
It was not only Prictus that had become stunned by this scene, everyone seeing the now transformed arm of Lucas became stunned silly with their jaws dropping to the ground. Even Tashigi and Torlo, who knew their friend was a devil fruit user, become stunned
"I-I Thought his powers was lightning" said a shell shocked Tashigi
"He-he hadn't li-li-liied when saying that it was just a small a-sample of his powers" followed an eye bulged Torlo.
Lucas raised his head and glared at Prictus, letting the man finally see his grin.
ZAP!
Sparks of white/blue lightning started to appear around Lucas's body, they traveled his arm to the blade of Prictus's sword, and then to the man himself "ARGH!" Prictus groaned at the pain caused by the sparks of lightning, gritting his teeth he ended up backing away a few meters.
"HOW?!" exclaimed Prictus.
Kicking the ground Lucas practically flew forward and appeared before Prictus, thrusting his open right hand forward he made a [Dragon Claw] attack at Prictus, who, when seeing the claw coming his way quickly raised his sword on reflex and blocked it.
Clash-Spark!
The power of the clash way greater than those of before, the power behind Lucas's dragon claw ended up pushing the Ravenous Wolfs first mate sliding back, creating a trench in the process. The sparks coiling around Lucas's arm started to fly, and like before, they traveled from his hand to sword and from there to Prictus body.
"RRRRGH!"
Clenching his teeth through the pain Prictus reared back his sword from the clash and tried to attack
Clash-Spark
But Lucas moved his left arm and blocked his sword, and with that came those sparks flying at him again "i-I WIIL NOT LOSE!"
[P Slash Barrage]!
Clash-Spark
Clash-Spark
Clash-Spark…
Prictus tried a sequence of multiple slashes, but each one of them ended up parried by Lucas, and with each clash, the lightning spark traveling to his body increased. The pain and numbness he felt at that moment was something he had rarely felt in his life 'How could a freak like this exist?!' he bitterly thought.
[P Horizon Slash]!
Already feeling his strengths nearing their end Prictus tried one more attack, with his muscles bulging he did a horizontal slash at the young marine. Lucas ducked, making the wind blade pass over his head and when he did that a black dragon tail appeared behind him and shot at Prictus sword hand "ARGH!" The tail took Prictus sword by force from his hand, he became startled at this development, but before he could do anything his head was grabbed by Lucas.
BAM!
Turning Lucas threw Prictus at the right wall of the cargo. The body of the man flew and slammed at the wall making it crack slightly from the impact. Groaning in pain, and with a sweet taste on his mouth, Prictus glared at the white-haired monster and asked what he most wanted to know "Wh-What are you?!"
"Me?" With a smile Lucas looked at Prictus with his pair of lightning filled, grey, dragon eyes "I'm a human who had eaten the Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Model: Lightning Dragon. Thus, becoming the ruler of Heaven's Wrath, the Lightning Dragon"
"D-DRAgon?!"
Those who didn't know about devil fruits, and even those who knew, didn't quite understand Lucas's words, but hearing the word 'Dragon' after seeing the two strange arms made them exclaim in certain shock.
'These feel's good. No wonder many devil fruit uses like to say their fruit names out loud, it does give a good feeling' Finishing this strange line of thought Lucas looked at Ravenous Wolfs first mate with some wonder 'After receiving so much shock from my sparks he's still up, It appears like people of this world are, indeed, more resilient than those of Earth. Hmmm… It seems I will not need to be that mindful while using the lightning aspect of my powers on others, people here can handle a few sparks' he thought.
If only Lucas knew how many people in the future would have wished to come back to this point where he formed this type of mindset and give him a good beating he probably would change his mind… or not, most probably not.
ZaP!
The air around Lucas heated, and crackled, with the white/blue energy's power. The sparks coiling around Lucas started to grow in intensity before becoming proper lightning, cupping his hand he gathered his lightning between them, thus creating a mesmerizing sphere of heavens wrath.
[Lightning Dragon Sphere]!
"ARRRRGHHH!"
With a roar, akin to of a thunder, Lucas shot the energy condensed sphere at the Ravenous Wolfs first mate, the lightning attack zapped in the man's direction while leaving a heat trail in the air. The lightning sphere speed hadn't let even a single slip of chance for Prictus to dodge. It arrived at the man in an instant, hitting him square in the chest with all its destructive power.
BBBOOOoommMM!
The wall of the cargo couldn't hold the power of the lightning sphere, it cracked almost instantly.
A giant hole had thus had been created at the cargo, Prictus flew through the hole and slammed at the side of the Ravenous Wolfs's ship, another rumble came and the side of the enemy's ship also gained a giant hole on it, and in the bottom of the hole was the fried body of Prictus, now utterly and completely defeated.
...
"That's was…"
"Wow"
"Such power"
It goes without saying that everyone that saw the display of lighting power, both marines and pirates, had now their jaws in the ground. Their brains blacked out for a moment, but when it powered back on their reaction become very contrasting. The marines cheered loudly, with happy smiles on their faces, while the pirates become horror-stricken, their skin palled and their bodies started quivering nonstop, they knew they are now doomed.
"That was amazing!" said one awestruck Tashigi. She and Torlo, the ones who are more close to Lucas, quickly rushed to their friend's side
"You owned the man the entire fight!" said, or better, yelled a VERY excited Torlo.
"Hahaha" looking at his friends Lucas laughed "Thanks your two, but there's still their captain, Vorax, that I need to deal. You guys can deal with those guys right there"
Without waiting anymore he flicked his tail and tossed Prictus sword to the side and then rushed to the hole in the cargo, jumping out of the ship he landed at the hole of the pirate's ship.
Then with lightning coiling around him, and using his dragon tail for extra force, he shot in the air at the marine ship's deck direction.
Looking at this scene Torlo said "There he goes"
The MCPO Allex finally recovered himself from this scene, glaring back at the pirates he crossed his arms and grinned "So, what is going to be? Do you surrender?"
""Hahaha""
Looking at the group of laughing marines, the Ravenous Wolfs pirates could only smile awkwardly as they dropped their weapons at the ground, after the earlier display of power they do not have any more guts to resist.
…
…
…
At the deck, commander Triscratches and Vorax had been fighting since the beginning of the attack. Both of them fought fiercely, but in the end, none could gain the upper hand on the other.
Vorax was the stronger of the two physically, but Triscratches was superior in terms of skill.
Like when Lucas was fighting Prictus, the fight of the two leaders stopped the battle around them. The fight was in an impasse, their stamina was nearing the end, but when both fighters least expected something BIG happened and broke the continuity of the fight.
With thunder rumbling the ship under their feet trembled, an explosion came from the side of the ship from Marineford before another one occurred on the ship of the Ravenous Wolfs.
"Da fuck was that?!" said a dumbstruck Vorax.
[Twin Lightning Spear]
Commander Triscratches was about to say something when he saw a white/blue flash zip over their heads "What?" Before he could lift his head he saw two things falling from above in the deck.
""AAARrrggggGGGhh!"""
Two lightning condensed spear fell on the deck, one behind Vorax, and the other right in the center of the group of pirates that have been watching their fight. Lightning flew from the two spears to all sides, like energy snakes they coiled around the pirates and their captain.
For a moment the deck of the ship became covered in a mesmerizing white/blue glow, and when this glow vanished what was left was the pirates and their captain on the floor, all of them defeated.
"Who?" Triscratches looked at this scene in shock. A second later something, or better, someone fell from above right in front him.
"Seaman apprentice Lucas reporting, all the pirates had already been neutralized" said Lucas while saluting the commander.
Commander Triscratches, along with every other marine in the deck, looked at Lucas with widened eyes.
The commander looked closely at Lucas, seeing the white hair he remembered the information he received from his superiors before sailing "So, you are the one"
…
…
…
Sengoku Office, Marine Headquarters
At the office of the leading figure of the Marine, Sengoku was sitting alongside another two persons.
One was Garp, Lucas's grandpa, and the others it's a tall and thin, elderly woman with grey hair tied in a bun. She wore an untucked shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and a tie around her neck, along with calves-long pants, and dropped over her shoulder like a cape was a marine's officer coat.
She is the Vice-Admiral Tsuru, who, along with Sengoku and Garp, is one of the most legendary marines to ever live.
"This is a great tea Sengoku" said Tsuru.
"Thank you, it's because of it that I'm able to endure this person by your side" thanked Sengoku with a smile before glaring dagger at Garp.
For more serious with his work that Sengoku is, in the end, he still human, as such he created the habit of calling his two friends over to chat while eating some snacks. This way he could have a break of the pile, better, the mountain of papers he had to put with every day.
"Bwahaha" laughed Garp while wolfing down a plate with some cake.
Pururururu!
Suddenly during their chat, the sound of a phone call started to ring in the room. Both Sengoku and Tsuru turned to look at Garp, who only shrugged and picked the den den mushi from his pocked "Hello, It's you Bogard?"
"Yes, Garp-san" from the other side of the call the deep voice of Bogard "I bring news from Lucas"
"What news?" Garp's lighted hearing the name of his grandson, and even Sengoku and Tsuru become more interested in the call.
"The ship where he was sailing was attacked by pirates when arriving at the South Blue"
"WHAT?!"
The legendary trio of the marine became stunned at this information, Garp roared and was about to rampage when Bogard followed "The pirates had been neutralized, most of them by Lucas, along with their captain and his first mate. No marine was lost, only a few wounded…"
At that, the trio calmed down.
Smiling Sengoku looked at Garp, he was about to say something when heard what was said next.
"…But during the process, he blew a hole at the side of our ship, and the ship of the pirates"
"…"
The air in the room became strange after those words. Sengoku had a funny expression, while Garp looked like he could barely contain his laughter.
A few seconds later Tsuru broke the silence, taking a sip from her tea she said in a very amused tone "He is truly your grandson"
"Garp!"
"BAWAHAHAHAHA!"

...
...
Finalmente terminei.
So yeah, this was the chapter. The fight may have seemed easy because that was the intention of it, this crew is just a warming up for our MC, but even so, I had fun writing it, and from now on they will most likely get more frequent.
The full name of the MC fruit was given today, also let recap in one thing, Lucas transformation here is not his hybrid form, just a partial thing I thought. I think it was what Marco did back on Marineford. Basically Lucas normal fighting for would be using this transformation, his hybrid would appear when things got a little more complicated, and his full form for when things get really serious. Also, a reminder, his full form had still not appeared, the form he turned before was his hybrid one.
Like always thanks guys for reading, again you all are awesome. Constructive critics are always welcomed.
