Chereads / One Piece : The Blood Emperor / Chapter 34 - Chapter 034

Chapter 34 - Chapter 034

A/N : Majority voted on Non-Harem. However, Luke's nature pertaining to opposite gender is questionable based on his past records. (He likes playing around with women in his previous world.) He may also play around with women characters of One Piece but it also comes with valid reason since he's a man with complicated background. So he only need one woman to 'move' him or maybe the other way around. (Who knows?)

"Oh, a meal!" Luffy's eyes shone in delight after seeing the duck.

"No, Luke says it's now our pet companion." Liz blocked Luffy as she's still on the process on healing the duck.

"Yes, I rescued this duck after it got heavily injured by constant abuse of it's captor." Luke added.

"Is that so? It looks yummy though." Luffy got deflated when knowing the duck wasn't going to be their food.

"Gaa!! Guaa!!" The duck got nervous when it saw them looking at it like a food.

Nami felt pity for the duck as she tried to pat it's head for comfort.

"Guuuua!!!"

Crackle!!

The duck unconsciously activated it's defense mechanism as it electrocuted Nami with lightning.

Everyone was surprised but soon they calmed down.

"Wow! It has the same ability as yours, Nami!" Luffy's eyes light up.

The duck got puzzled as it expected for Nami to be affected but she looked fine.

"Bad duck! It's not nice to greet people like that." Nami knocked it's head as she reprimand.

"Guuua?" The duck stared at Nami with confusion then it turned to Luke.

Luke chuckled as he said, "She likes you. Don't be shy now."

"Guuua..." The duck stared at Nami with shining eyes as if it expressed moved feeling.

"Hahaha!! Welcome! Mina! Meet our new nakama!" Luffy patted the duck's head as he also started to like this unusual creature.

Crackle!!

Luffy got eletrocuted but he was only laughing merrily at this.

"Luffy, you gotta name for it?" Luke asked.

"Oh.. Then, we'll call it Billy!" Luffy pinched Billy's cheek while he got electrocuted again as he laughed.

The other crew smiled as they also accepted their new nakama.

Meanwhile, Tatsumaki returned to the town in annoyance. Then, she noticed Smoker was currently boarding a marine ship as she frowned.

"What are you doing? Who gives you the permission to leave the town leaving me here alone?"

"This is my business, I'm catching up to the Strawhats that's heading to the grandline." Smoker ignored the floating Tatsumaki as he pointed at the escaping Going Merry.

Tatsumaki tilted her head and she saw the Strawhats like two kilometers away from them. She recalled Tashigi earlier mentioning the new ruler of the East Blue.

"Hmph! What's the big deal about it? You make it sound like they're some Emperors of the sea."

Due to being annoyed after Dragon escaped her clutches, she found a way to vent her anger, and the target are the Strawhats.

Tatsumaki waved her hand and a nearby random pirate ship that got confiscated by marines and bigger than Going Merry easily floated in the air.

The marines saw this scene almost kneeled to the ground by Tatsumaki's show of power.

Even Smoker dropped the cigars in his mouth as he stared at the floating ship.

"Die, filthy pirates."

SWWOOOOSHH!!

Tatsumaki waved her hand again and the floating ship flew towards Going Merry really fast.

As the Strawhats were welcoming their new nakama, they were also welcomed by a flying ship.

"AH!!" Nami was first to notice the ship with her wide range detection. She dropped to the floor in horror when knowing a flying ship was coming at them real fast.

The rest of the crew turned their heads and were greatly surprised.

"It must be that little girl earlier!" Luffy took a deep breath as he jumped upwards while activating his third gear.

"Gomu Gomu no... Giant Pistol!!"

BOOOOM!!!

The giant ship got blown into smithereens much to the delight of the Strawhat crew.

That's right! They aren't weak either as they have a powerful captain who aspires to be the next Pirate King.

"Hmm?"

Tatsumaki noticed that the Going Merry was still fine. Her interest peaked as she controlled more than a dozen ship.

"V-Vice Admiral, stop! We can't lose these ships! You even included some of our vessels!" Smoker panicked at the action of Tatsumaki.

"Hmph! Shut up! I take full responsibility for the damages. Now wait to the side." Tatsumaki floated forward as she carried more than a dozen floating ships.

Luke's eyes squinted at Tatsumaki's next move as he announced, "Another wave of attack is coming, defend Going Merry. Use any means to destroy those ships."

Nami and others who ate Devil Fruits a few days back understood Luke's intention. They were all fired up as they couldn't wait to show their prowess to the crew.

"Incoming!" Yosaku shouted.

"OUH!! My time to shine!" Johnny grinned as he flexed his shoulders.

Swish!! ZINNG!!

He jumped forward and with a wave of his sword, the incoming ship was cleanly split in half.

"Woah! Amazing! He cut that ship in half with just brute strength!" Usopp commented in surprise. Johnny's brute strength gave him chills too.

Zoro and Sanji got depressed. Yet another monster appeared in their group.

Tatsumaki snorted as she sent another wave of ships to the Strawhats.

"Explosion bomb!" Usopp fired two shots to the incoming ships using slingshot. He shouted,

"More More... fifty times!"

Suddenly, each explosion bomb the size of a marble grew bigger until they became fairly sized boulder.

BOOOOM!!! BOOOOOOM!!!

The ships instantly exploded that causes tremor to the seas.

The crew were gobsmacked by the strange power of Usopp. His power can actually manipulate the size of things he throws.

"Huh?" Tatsumaki was now puzzled. How could a rookie pirate group produced such powerful crew. She waved her hand again as the remaining ten ships were flying to the Strawhats.

"Step aside boys. It's my turn." Nami took a deep breath as she focused on her power.

"Come! Thunder Strike!"

CRAAACKLE!!! RUMMMMMBLE!!! BOOOOOOOOM!!!!

A giant thunder illuminated the vast seas as it strucked the floating ships. The power was so terrible that the floating ships turned into powder.

The Strawhats stared at Nami as if she's a monster. They now know why Luke mentioned that Nami can summon the power of a God.

Even Nami didn't expect her power to be so powerful. It left her speechless for a while.

The marines and the town people also witnessed this unbelievable phenomenon.

"Now you've done it." Tatsumaki's eyes flickered as she dashed towards the Strawhats at lightning speed.

Luffy noticed Tatsumaki was fast approaching as he activated his second gear.

Meanwhile, Luke watched Tatsumaki with serious expression. In fact, he was gambling that this little monster is not what he feared her to be. If she is, then this whole journey he carefully planned will all go to waste.

"What's wrong, Luke?" Sanji always paid attention to Luke, the latter never showed this kind of expression before.

"We can't face her for now. It's clear suicide for you guys." Luke waved his hand with a serious face.

"What do you mean, Luke? We are clearly winning this battle!" Usopp disagreed with arrogance on his face.

"Yeah, Luke. We can defeat her easily!" Johnny also prepared to jump in with Luffy.

"This... " Nami hesitated. She vaguely witnessed Tatsumaki's bout with that mysterious man. However, she also have faith in her team together with her power.

Luke closed his eyes. He could tell that the Strawhats are getting cockier now that they gained powerful abilities.

"We fight!" Luffy also shouted as he dashed towards the closing Tatsumaki.

Luke took a deep breath as he started levitating. Before facing Tatsumaki, he needed to do something first as he instantly arrived at the town.

He used his ability to wipe the memories of all the crowd including Smoker who are watching.

He also destroyed any form of device that were recording the scene, so it will take a couple of seconds to finish before he could join the fight.

"Gomu Gomu no! Pistol!" Luffy, who's in second gear, punched at Tatsumaki.

Tatsumaki was clearly amazed as she easily swiped the punch to the side. She commented in surprise,

"This is unexpected. Almost all of you showed Devil Fruit abilities. Just who are you people?"

"We are the Strawhat pirates! We aim to be the strongest!" Usopp proudly stated.

When they heard this, Zoro and Sanji secretly frowned. Something's not right with the crew. Still, they were alert and protected the ship from any harm.

Nami, Usopp, Johnny and Luffy ceaselessly attacked Tatsumaki, yet the petite lady casually swiped their attacks. She even bend the thunder of Nami.

"Just.. who is this little girl? She's very mysterious!" Zoro said as he had a foreboding feeling about what will happen next.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!

"AHHH!!!"

BAANG!!!

Luffy, Johnny, Usopp and Nami got pulled by an invisible force as they instantly smashed downwards to the seas.

"Shit!" Zoro and Sanji dived to the sea as they rescue Luffy and others.

Luke arrived at the scene and as he expected, Luffy and others got easily defeated by the powerful control of Tatsumaki. It's not like the Strawhats are helpless, but they were fighting in the wrong place.

Luffy and others are Devil Fruit Holders and their fatal weakness is the sea.

"Hmph! Are you the captain of this crew? Not bad! I can tell that you are more powerful than these squirts." Tatsumaki crossed her arms as she stared at Luke in the air.

"No, I'm the Vice-Captain." Luke shook his head as he was planning on how he should deal with this psychotic little lady.

"Oh? Who's your captain then? He must be more powerful than you." Tatsumaki was surprised. She could tell that Luke was more powerful than any of those pirates out there.

"Perhaps?" Luke's eyes lit up as he can only use a dumb idea to finish all this mess. If it fails, then he will have to face this crazy lady with all he got including using his ultimate form, Blood Wings mode.

"Hm?" Tatsumaki saw Luke slowly floating towards her. She frowned and waved her hand.

Luke felt a heavy pressure in his body, but he didn't mind. He's also an esper so he can easily counter that control.

"Let's end it here." Luke grabbed Tatsumaki's arm.

"What do you think you're doing?! Courting death!!" Tatsumaki was about to blow out when Luke suddenly kissed her lips. His other arm wrapped around her waist as he held her in a romantic way.

With the sudden kiss, her mind went blank as her all defenses temporarily lowered. Her face turned red as if steam was coming out from her head. She was confused and puzzled about what was going on.

Luke's eyes shone when he noticed her reaction. He then activated mind control,

"Relax.. Sleep.."

Tatsumaki was temporarily subdued as she lost consciousness. She laid in Luke's arms peacefully.

Luke immediately went to work as he started erasing her memories of meeting Strawhats.

He paused when he's about to erase about him meeting with her. That's because he felt a dangerous vibe if he erase that part of memory. It was as if a dormant power is silently sleeping within her. If he accidentally touch that part, all hell will break lose.

Luke was sweating bullets as he gritted his teeth.

The only remaining memories of her was him kissing her in a romantic way. Maybe it's a good thing as it will serve as Tatsumaki's own dream fantasy.

'Fuck it. Maybe it's not so bad leaving that memory in her.' Luke arrived at the sleeping Smoker as he laid Tatsumaki near him.

There are reasons why Luke didn't kill Tatsumaki. But most he was wary about is Admiral Blast who has close ties with her.

Blast is also a powerful esper. He may leave some markings on Tatsumaki in order to monitor her condition.

If Luke killed her, Blast may appear in front of him and things will get ugly again.

As Luke arrived at Going Merry, the only witness, Yosaku and Liz stared at him weirdly.

"No one shall talk about this matter." Luke waved his hand as he checked the conditions of Luffy and the others. After finding all of them are alright, he heaved a sigh of relief as he walked towards his favorite chair. He will surely do something about their inflated ego soon.

'I hope that crazy psychotic woman will not stalk on me in the future.'

Luke commented in his mind as he closed his eyes to rest.
