With everything said and done, Lucas was still a curious person. Even though everyone headed to the main hall for the celebration, he used Observation Haki and was watching Zoro and Kuina fight.
The two of them had found a flat area with a lot of space.
They stood in front of each other and gave each other respect with a bow.
Zoro's expression was serious as he gripped two swords and another on his teeth.
Kuina smiled when he saw the seriousness in his eyes and knew that Zoro didn't treat her differently just because she was a woman.
While she was on board Shanks' ship, she had seen a lot of things and her worldview had expanded. She was no longer the same little girl who hated her own gender and inability to grow stronger.
Drawing on her sword. She stood in front of Zoro and her eyes gleamed.
Zoro took it as a signal that the fight has begun and charged forward!
As he brandished his three swords, Kuina met his swords with her own.
Their fight continued for an hour. Watching them, Lucas displayed a smile on his face.
Kuina really deserved to be called a genius.
He can see that she was actually able to hold her own against Zoro.
But…
*Clang*
A sword flew across the air and stabbed on the ground.
At the same time, a figure could be seen lying down on the ground while another was holding a sword right beside the other's neck and also stabbed the ground.
Zoro looked down on Kuina and gritted his teeth as he spoke.
"I...won…!"
Looking up at Zoro, Kuina panted and her bountiful chest sprang up and down. Smiling, she touched Zoro's cheek which was right above her face.
"...Un. I'm completely...convinced."
"...You're not gonna come up with some excuse because you're a woman anymore?"
Kuina shook her head.
"I'm glad I'm a woman."
"Huh?"
"Because I can get to do this to you."
Zoro was confused but before he could react, he felt a pair of soft lips touch his own!
Ooooooooh!!!
Lucas, who was still watching, wanted to whistle at the hot scene.
After a few seconds, Kuina removed her lips from Zoro and smiled.
Zoro froze and didn't know how to react!
He was naturally not naive enough to not know about matters of the opposite sex, but to him, being the strongest swordsman was his priority!
Suddenly being kissed by a woman...and his own childhood friend at that...he didn't know what to do!
Kuina saw his confused face and showed a teasing smile.
"Are you gonna remain on top of me? I...don't mind it...but we're still outside…"
Zoro blinked for a few moments as if trying to process what she just said.
Suddenly, his face blushed and quickly stood up!
"Ahem. The others are still waiting. We should go."
"Ah, wai-"
Zoro ignored her and quickly walked away.
Kuina looked at Zoro's disappearing back and uttered.
"...That's the wrong way…"
Back in the main hall, Lucas sighed and shook his head.
He looked at the direction where Zoro fled and pondered.
Is it time to talk about birds and bees with him so he knows what to do?
If Zoro knew what he was thinking, he would probably grab his sword and start slashing at Lucas.
Of course, he would fail though.
After a moment, Lucas shook his head.
It's better this way. At least I would get to win a bet from Nami. Hehe…
As for the lost Zoro, he can just get lost for all he cares.
After a while, Kuina had joined the party and looked pleased.
Nami quickly dragged her away and glared at Lucas while mouthing some words.
Don't-you-use-your-observation-haki-on-us!
"..."
Lucas sighed. It seems Nami is about to cheat again by advising Kuina to go for it.
Lucas thought for a moment before deciding to go look for Zoro in the end.
Since Nami wants to cheat, he will also cheat!
Lucas felt bad for Zoro who won't get laid but that doesn't matter. What matters is that he wins this bet!
Before leaving, Lucas took one last look at Luna who was playing with her grandmother Bellemere. After seeing that she was fine, he walked over and patted her on the head.
"Luna, be good and stay with grandm-...with this elder sister for a while okay? I'll be walking around the island."
The moment Lucas called Bellemere a grandma, she shot his a deadly look and unleashed her killing intent, making Lucas doubt whether this woman had awoken Emperor's Haki or not…
It didn't really pressure him but since she is his mother-in-law now, he can't offend her unnecessarily…
To say it in Chinese novel terms, he was giving her face!
Like mother like daughter...both of them are demons when angry…
Lucas hoped Luna would stay an angel like now...even if the odds were low.
"Go, go away. Shoo! Let this sister spend time with my little Luna!"
"Daddy! Can I come with you?"
Lucas smiled and patted her head.
"I will walk you around later okay? For now, play with gra-...with this elder sister."
Nojiko spoke as well and hugged Luna.
"Luna, let sister hug you lots! I've missed you!"
"Uu, okay. Daddy, let's play later!"
"Un."
"Pinky promise!"
Lucas chuckled and stretched his pinky finger.
Luna's little pinky wrapped on his own.
"I promise. I will play with Luna later and will continue to do so forever. Is that okay?"
"Un! It's a promise!"
Watching the warm scene between the two, Bellemere grumbled that her granddaughter doesn't love her as much but didn't intervene.
Leaving Luna under the care of the two, Lucas walked out and flew over to where Zoro was.
At this moment, Zoro was looking at the edge of the island and tilted his head.
"Where...am I?"
Just as he was wondering this, he saw a figure land behind him. Turning around, he saw it was Lucas.
"Yo. How was the fight?"
"...I won."
Lucas smiled when he saw Zoro say that but his face said otherwise.
"You don't look like you won."
"I uhh...It's nothing!"
Zoro didn't know what to say so he simply shrugged it off and tried to act cool.
Lucas raised a brow and didn't mind. He looked at the edge of the island as well and the endless clouds on the horizon.
"How did it feel?"
"Eh?"
"The kiss."
"!!!"
Zoro's face went red and his hands grabbed onto his sword!
"Y-y-you! You saw!?"
"Hahaha! I was curious about the battle. I didn't expect to see such a scene. Tsk tsk. I remember the time me and Nami first kissed...the situation was quite the opposite."
Zoro's face twitched a couple of times when he heard Lucas laugh.
But after hearing the last part and remembered that Lucas seemed to have experience in this matter, he sighed and asked him.
"...How was it the opposite?"
"Well...I was the one being pinned down."
"..."
"After that, she stripped me and...ahem."
"..."
Zoro's hand shook. He really wanted to cut this bastard down!
Was he here to provide advice or to brag!?
Lucas still laughed and didn't care about his reaction. He looked at the horizon where the sky and the sea drew a line.
"Love is a strange thing. You never know whether the person you love is really the person meant for you. For me, I simply do not want to lose Nami or Robin...because I love them both."
He looked at Zoro and asked.
"Tell me. What is your goal?"
"Huh?"
"You said it before that your goal is to become the strongest swordsman. But why?"
"...I just wanted to become the strongest. Back when I thought Kuina had died, I promised to become the strongest swordsman on her behalf too."
"But now that you know she is alive...did your goal also change?"
Zoro went silent for a moment and shook his head.
"No."
He looked at the same horizon and declared.
"I will become the strongest swordsman...not just for myself. But for her as well. Nothing has changed."
Lucas smiled.
"Sounds like you know what to do already."
Zoro looked back at Lucas and stretched his hand to him.
"Lucas, you are a good friend."
"Hehe."
The two shook hands. Their two hands connected and formed a new line that created a new horizon.
However, Lucas disturbed the scenic mood with one sentence.
"Ah, if you can hold it and do it tomorrow instead, I'd be grateful!"
"..."
"Hehe, Nami's bet only said tonight! As long as you don't do it tonight, I win!"
"..."
Zoro's head was full of black lines.
He started to regret what he just said a moment ago.
Meanwhile, on Nami and Kuina's side, Nami was busy whispering certain things to Kuina.
Each time, Kuina's face would grow redder and redder! It was evident that whatever Nami was whispering to her about wasn't anything decent!
Robin saw the two and laughed.
She wondered if Zoro could even survive the night after Nami finished training Kuina…
"So once it becomes hard, you take it and start doing this...and then, you can use your saliva to make it more slippery...you can also do this...and that...oh, your chest is big enough so you can do this too...not like that! More like this! Yes, that's right! While doing that, you can also lick...eh? What does it taste like? You'll find it out on your own! Swallow? Hmm, Lucas likes it when I swallow, but I'm not sure about Zoro. Anyway, while you do it, remember to look at his expression! That will let you know if you are doing it right or not! Besides that, you can make him lick your part...Lucas said it was delicious too!"
"..."
Kuina's head was completely red and Nami's words were making her dizzy.
She didn't know that doing that stuff actually required so many techniques!
Nami wasn't even finished yet.
"Then, when you're ready, you can take his...and stick it in your...Hm? Will it hurt? At first, it will hurt a bit, but you will feel good soon! Anyway, listen. There are a bunch of ways you can do it. Lucas likes it when I am on the top. He tries to deny it but that guy likes to be dominated! Ah, but it also feels good when he does it from behind...eh? How many styles are there? There's a lot! Imagination is your only limit! Listen, once, Lucas actually used his wings and did this...and also when Robin used her ability and did that...you're both swordsmen without devil fruit powers but that's fine, there are plenty of other ways you can try. I'll tell you about those that I have tried…"
"..."
Robin heard her name being brought up and started to blush as well.
Recalling that time she had used her devil fruit ability...ah, anyway, the experience was heavenly!
She turned to the side and saw Bellemere had actually approached them unknowingly and was listening to Nami.
Bellemere just thought of calling Nami over so they can have a nice talk after so long. She didn't expect to hear her daughter lecturing someone else about...certain activities!
At first, she wanted to scold her, but the more she listened to it, the more her body started to feel weird.
Come to think of it, it's been a long time since she's had a man…
Sadly, there weren't any men here that she was interested in.
Then, she noticed a person beside her, also listening to Nami.
Makino was hiding behind her back and was engrossed in listening. Her legs were squirming and felt uncomfortable. Only when Bellemere turned to her did she notice what she was doing.
"..."
"..."
The two of them stared at each other.
Then…
Bellemere licked her lips as she looked at Makino.
Makino shivered and took a step back.
"U-umm…"
"Makino."
"Y-yes!?"
Bellemere lifted her chin and looked at her in the eye.
"Leave your door open tonight."
"..."
Robin saw the whole thing and said nothing. But in her mind, she was thinking about something else.
She remembered that time when the two of them had shared Lucas. Unexpectedly, Nami had kissed her more than Lucas did...
Like mother like daughter…
Robin silently prayed for Makino's soul which was about to reach Heaven tonight.
While this was all happening, Luffy was still wolfing down on his food.
His ears picked up the word 'delicious' when Kuina had asked Nami. Instantly, his ears stretched and focused more on what Nami was saying.
But after hearing everything, he was still confused.
He turned to Hancock who was busy placing food on his plate with a sweet smile as always.
Luffy thought.
Should I ask her to try?
…
Nah, I doubt it's more delicious than meat.
With that, Luffy returned to eating.
Hancock just tilted her head cutely, not knowing she had missed a great chance!
