ON THE RUN AND NEW ROLES

As the breeze swept against my face, with a new fresh breath of air a feeling of excitement swelled within my very soul for this was the moment I had been waiting for.

The chance to brave the whole world on my own without the need to go anywhere or do anything I didn't want to, for the elders could not order me to do anything only father could, and with his mind only caring about the death of this new era.

'Well, if I complete and uphold his will, I can be free to do anything and see anything so long as my heart desires'.

'I will conquer the seas in Father's name while experiencing all that this world can offer and when I have destroyed all of the Father's enemies, I will present him with the One Piece to gain his complete admiration and respect'.

'Now is not the time for consideration Lucious it's now the time for action that will strike fear into the hearts of the citizens of the world for only by their gracious sacrifice can the world be born anew in the perfect image of father's imagination.'

{One day later}

"Hakha"

After hearing the noise coming from outside my captain's quarters, I left my blades by my bedside and walked outside onto the deck to see what the noise was all about.

Once arriving on the deck for my observation Haki noticed the annoying cause of the noise that disturbed my slumber which was those seagulls from the world economic journal.

Dozens could be seen flying about in the sky and with a closer glance I noticed the paper that they were holding onto.

I reached into my pocket and pulled out a 1000-berry note and without a second passing, a seagull with lightning speed removed the note and drop the paper into my hand.

"Maybe I should replace these pirates with the seagulls since they are damn sure very fast".

After reading the title head for the paper I realized that my time for a head start given by the elders has ended for the front paper showed a picture of me and my newly formed pirate group at the dock departing from water seven.

"Those old bastards only gave me only a day head starts after leaving the city and this paper even details information gathered on the sins and their lieutenants at water seven".

"Damnit"!

In anger, I stomped my foot on the ground causing a minor shake felt across the ship, nothing that would leave any serious damage.

Due to my outburst, I could see Wrath walk over to my side with a slightly annoyed look on her face which was the first case of seeing any sign of emotion on her face.

" My prince might I remind you of your new subordinates due to their weak bodies any severe outburst that could cause damage to the vessel would not only cause the vessel to possibly sink but also harm your new members of this crew".

With a slight smirk on my face, I replied "Yes Wrath I already know that, and you won't have to worry about that I have personally read and understand these ships' design".

"It's a juggernaut that can take the full power attack from an admiral-level opponent and still keep going without the hull being pierced".

"But let's not let multiple attacks hit the hull from such an enemy for this warship can only take so much damage even though it is from ancient times.".

I could see that Wrath's annoyed face disappeared after informing her of the capabilities of the ship and her normal neutral face.

"As you say my prince, but I will still remind you of keeping your outburst to the minimum and if you ever do so need a source of relaxation, I can always send Lust to your quarters and care to any of your needs".

"She seems to be the one most eager to care for your needs and even requested to be your aid in all manners".

A look of shock filled my face before my mind wandered towards thinking of fulfilling my more carnal desires with Lust but before I could think anymore on the matter a picture of Soula filled my head and screamed at me for thinking in such a vulgar manner.

"… Um yeah no Wrath id rather not have Lust be my aid since she would just try and court me the entire time that we should be doing actual work".

"I would like to have you instead Wrath to be my aid since I am now placing you into the station of the Vice Captain, which should show the new members that you are the leader of the sins and that you are the second strongest member of this crew".

Wrath grabbed her dress and gave a slight bow and said, "As you with my prince I shall carry this burden in the hopes of completing your mission and releasing us all from the horrors of this world".

I had a slight smile on my face and looked towards Wrath and place my hand on her shoulder and said" There's no need to bow before being Wrath and from now on just call me Lucious and that should go for the rest of the sins since now that we have many new ears on this ship wouldn't want to silence and of them for no reason just yet".

"As you say Lucious."

"Good now as your first directive as vice-captain, I expect you to create the rules and regulations of this crew and inform the remaining members on this ship since I don't want to have these pirates killing each other for stupid reasons yet".

"Also, I want you to place pride and as the ship's new enforcer, if anyone gets out of line, she shall deal out the correct level of punishment that you shall create according to the new laws on the ship".

"I will inform the sins of my new status and of the roles that come with their station".

"That's good to hear now I will be waiting for a list that shall be upon my desk tomorrow morning along with tea and breakfast."

"As you command Lucious".

And when my orders were given out, I left for my quarters to decide where to travel next and to continue practicing manipulating my quarters with my devil fruit to turn it into one that truly benefits the son of God.
