Chapter 67: So Fierce?

"You are… New Emperor Lucas?"

Drought Jack came to an abrupt stop in front of Lucas, his expression serious as he eyed the man before him.

"This is Beasts Pirates' territory! You don't belong here. Leave now, or I won't be so polite!"

Jack drew his two weapon, sword resembling a shotel, his tone carrying a clear threat.

In the chat group, Senju Hashirama chuckled.

First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "Lucas, it seems your nickname has changed! Weren't you originally called the Marine Traitor?"

Lucas: "Nickname? Forget it. What good ever comes from a nickname given by the World Government or the Marines?"

Whitebeard: "Gurara! The Four Emperors isn't just a nickname, Marine Traitor… tsk tsk, now that's a real title! Lucas, don't you want to give yourself a proper nickname?"

Lucas: "No. The nicknames in the pirate world are all terrible. None of them fit my true identity. Besides, even if I had a good one, you people wouldn't be able to say it properly."

Pirate King Roger grinned. "Oh? Then what do you want to be called?"

Lucas smirked. "How about... The Supreme Emperor of the Primordial Chaos Universe, Sovereign of Creation, Architect of Existence, Forger of Heaven's Order, Keeper of the Sacred Sigil, Master of Life and Deatg, Lord of the Celestial Dao, Great Heavenly Venerate?"

Whitebeard: "…"

Sword God Ryuma: "This… nickname… Who in the world could actually say that properly?"

Roger laughed.

Pirate King Roger: "Nicknames should match a person's defining trait—like Whitebeard's beard, Golden Lion's blond hair, Red Hair's red hair, and you…"

Lucas: "And me what?"

Pirate King Roger: "I… I don't want to be muted!"

Ding! Pirate King Roger has been muted for one minute!

Whitebeard: "???"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Wait—what did Roger even say? Did I miss something?"

First Hokage, Senju Hashirama: "He didn't even say anything! Why was he muted?"

Lucas:"There's a crime called slandering in your heart. Consider it a one-minute warning."

Golden Lion Shiki: "..."

Lucas: "What? You have an objection, Golden Lion?"

Shiki coughed. "No, no! I think the group leader made the right call! Roger always flirts with danger, so he deserves a warning!"

Whitebeard: "Hey! Look—Jack is about to make a move."

Because Lucas had been distracted, chatting in the group, Jack assumed he was being ignored.

His patience snapped.

"You bastard!"

Without hesitation, Jack attacked.

Ding!

Lucas casually drew his sword, effortlessly blocking the strike. With a slight push, he sent Jack skidding backward.

Then, he retaliated.

Slash!

Lucas activated Golden Lion's swordsmanship, unleashing a terrifying sword energy slash powerful enough to tear through the sea for miles.

Jack raised his shotel to block—

But it was useless.

His weapons were shattered instantly, and he himself was blown away by the sheer force of the attack.

It was a one-sided battle.

Just as Big Mom had knocked out Queen the Plague with a single punch, Lucas had crushed Drought Jack in one move.

"You… bastard…!"

Despite being seriously injured, Jack's fighting spirit remained unbroken. He glared at Lucas, still ready to fight.

In the chat group, Shiki was dumbfounded.

Golden Lion Shiki: "Is this guy sick? He's already been beaten half to death, and he's still provoking us?"

Whitebeard: "Normal! Kaido himself is a psychopath—so how could his subordinates not be crazy?"

Fire Fist Ace: "Yeah… When I fought Jack before, he was an absolute lunatic."

Gold Thief Woonan: "How crazy are we talking?"

Fire Fist Ace: "Well…"

Lucas answered for him.

Lucas: "Let me put it this way—even if there were two Marine Admirals standing in front of him, Drought Jack would still charge in headfirst without hesitation!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "So fierce?"

Whitebeard: "Gurarara! That's insane! Even the Golden Lion was defeated when fighting two Admirals at once. And yet, this lunatic… Well, no wonder he's constantly getting his ass kicked."

Lucas slowly approached Jack, carrying his blade, Shusui.

But he didn't bother using his sword.

Without a word, he clenched his fist, channeling the combined power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and Armament Haki.

Then—

Boom!

Jack took the full force of the attack.

His giant Zoan-enhanced body shattered like glass.

With just one punch—

Jack the Drought was dead.

"Oh my god! Lord Jack is dead! RUN!"

"Report this to Lord Kaido immediately!"

Jack's subordinates, witnessing their commander's instant defeat, were overcome with sheer terror. They didn't even think about fighting back—

They simply turned and ran for their lives.

Kin'emon and his group stood frozen, their minds struggling to process what had just happened.

Lucas had… killed Jack.

In one hit.

It wasn't until the panicked Beasts Pirates scattered that they finally snapped out of their shock.

"Stop them!" Kin'emon shouted. "If they report back to Kaido, we'll be in trouble!"

Lucas, however, simply raised his hand and waved them off.

"Let them go."

Kin'emon frowned. "But—"

Lucas smirked.

"It's better this way. Now I don't have to go looking for Kaido—he'll come straight to me."
