Background
Lucas was originally a twenty-first-century office worker who died in a car accident and reincarnated as an abandoned infant in the Kingdom of Ye. A nun named Sister Eos took him into an orphanage and gave him his name, providing the only peaceful period of his childhood. 2
At age ten, Lucas watched the Grey Wolf Gang massacre the orphanage and kill Eos. His grief awakened Conqueror’s Haki, but the gang captured him rather than killing him. He spent five years pretending to be brainwashed while learning everything that could make him stronger, then slaughtered all three hundred-plus Grey Wolf members on his fifteenth birthday. 2 6
That same year, Lucas began fighting the Marine trainee Gion. She initially overwhelmed him with Rokushiki and Haki, but their repeated battles allowed him to copy and master her techniques. Their rivalry became a long-running romantic relationship despite his rejection of Marine authority. 2
By 1520, Lucas had become an unaffiliated force feared by every gang in Ye. He defeated Roberts, the official responsible for the orphanage massacre, then exterminated the Flying Group to prevent retaliation. Roberts’s dying call brought Golden Lion Shiki’s attention down on Lucas, forcing him to flee when Shiki dropped an island onto the sea. 1 5 6
Lucas drifted to Toransu Town, where Adoya rescued him. There he obtained the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire from an ancient temple and discovered that its Life Energy absorption was uniquely compatible with his body. 7 8
After absorbing Airey’s electrical Lineage Factor, Lucas sought Dr. Kureha’s help to learn whether his body could survive additional abilities. Kureha trained him in Lineage Factor identification, separation, and Zoan transformation-wavelength modification. 11 16
In the West Blue, Lucas recruited or allied himself with Baccarat, Nico Robin, Lafitte, and Daz Bonez while dismantling criminal families and Du Feld-linked forces. He renamed a captured submarine Eos in honor of Sister Eos and later used the defeated West Blue families’ assets to establish the Eternal Financial Group. 18 28 31 35 37
Lucas expanded the Eternal Financial Group by absorbing the God of Fortune Financial Group. Although founded partly to secure stable funding for his ambitions, the organization reformed or eliminated criminal businesses, rejected slavery and narcotics, and implemented unusually humane labor conditions. 37 62 64
As the group’s power grew, Lucas recruited Issho as its head of security and began attracting sustained attention from Cipher Pol and the World Government. He discovered and secretly recompiled the Lineage Factor of Cipher Pol infiltrator Stussy, making her one of his closest agents while preserving her independent will. 63 65 68
Lucas spent two years deliberately avoiding public attention while consolidating his underground territory and traveling with the Kuja Pirates. During this period, he expanded his family and organization, arranged training or protection for several younger companions, and continued pursuing scientific, martial, and commercial development. 120 159
His conflict with Shiki resumed when the resurrected Flying Pirates attacked the Yulo Peninsula from the sky. Lucas defended the Eternal Financial Group’s territory directly, engaging Shiki with his Hybrid Form, Dracule, blood techniques, and electromagnetic attacks. 96
Lucas subsequently moved the Yulo Peninsula from the West Blue to the New World. Issho lowered the relocated peninsula into waters near Aplunan Island, after which Lucas began planning further recruitment and exploration in the North Blue. 102
His protection of Reiju and Sanji brought him into conflict with CP0 during an attack on Germa. He intervened against commander Avignon and later refused to kill Judge because Judge was Reiju’s father, instead proposing that a clone be used to fake his death. 115 120
After forcing Marco and Jozu to retreat, Lucas confronted Whitebeard directly. Whitebeard’s superior Haki defeated his blood-control attempts, dispersed his strongest combined attacks, and inflicted injuries that temporarily impeded his regeneration. Lucas then sought greater pressure through a ten-day all-out duel with Issho, during which he first demonstrated Conqueror’s Haki Infusion. 135 147 148 150 153
Lucas later held a worldwide swordsmanship tournament to publicly establish himself as the world’s greatest swordsman. His overwhelming victories over numerous challengers demonstrated the scale of his flying slashes and further intensified World Government fears regarding his strength. 189 193 194
During the tournament, Lucas fought Shanks, countered his Observation Killing through Life Energy sensing, and copied Divine Departure after witnessing it. He subsequently overwhelmed Mihawk’s gigantic flying slash, but Ochoku ambushed him with a teleporting, Haki-coated short sword that pierced his heart. 197 198 200
While critically wounded aboard the Eos, Lucas battled the Vampire Fruit’s will in Consciousness Space. Remembering the women he loved, he destroyed that will and regained consciousness, completing the breakthrough that led to his awakened Zoan form. 202 204
Lucas later captured Vegapunk during his confrontation with Borsalino at Punk Hazard. His subsequent battle with Kaido demonstrated his Supreme Armament Haki and further growth, and Kaido eventually permitted Yamato to leave Onigashima with him. 209 215 217
By the time the Gorosei reported him to Imu, Lucas had mastered Conqueror’s Haki Infusion and become powerful enough to threaten the Holy Land. Imu consequently ordered his elimination, while Lucas continued pursuing the strength needed to live freely beyond the World Government’s control. 189 236
The World Government issued the Federation’s first official bounties, placing an “ONLY DEAD” bounty of 1,860,900,000 Beli on Lucas. Studying the other posters, he inferred that Cipher Pol probably had no agents inside the Federation and that Kuzan might have withheld Robin’s true identity, since she remained listed as Talia. 240
While the Yulo Peninsula underwent reconstruction, Lucas and his family temporarily stayed in Dressrosa’s royal palace. He planned to use technology to turn the peninsula into a floating island for greater security, and Vegapunk completed the spatial stabilizer he had requested. 242
Lucas used the Time Spirit Room to accelerate his companions’ training. Hancock spent three years inside over three days outside before undergoing repeated Lineage Factor Optimization, while Lucas brought Ulti, Lami, Baby 5, Reiju, and Koala back from Amazon Lily to Punk Hazard so they could also benefit from accelerated training. He later accompanied the expedition to Hachinosu, where his strengthened companions pursued Ochoku. 244 247
To prevent the Flying Pirates from attacking the Federation’s islands, Lucas sought intelligence through Hawkins’s divination and Shyarly’s predictions. He persuaded Arlong to bring Shyarly by offering the Fish-Man Tribe an opportunity to compete for the title of strongest race. Lucas preferred attacking Shiki’s base to risking Amazon Lily and Punk Hazard in a defensive battle. 263
Lucas confronted Shiki directly and countered his falling-island tactic by closing the distance, making Shiki risk crushing himself alongside his opponent. Their conflict culminated in Shiki’s death; Lucas’s Extreme Mastery: Asura Blood Light Slash tore through the enormous earth-and-stone attack and golden slashes directed at him. After the islands were dismantled, Lucas restored the lifespan Kalifa and Issho had expended and treated Issho’s eyes with blood essence. 270 272 276
By Chapter 290, Lucas’s bounty had risen to 25,930,000,000 Beli. He suspected that the World Government wanted to provoke a clash between him, Kaido, and Charlotte Linlin by keeping his bounty below theirs. Having been unilaterally branded a pirate, he adopted the practice of displaying his family’s wanted posters prominently in his home. 290
Appearance
Lucas is a silver-haired, blue-eyed young man with a lean but explosively muscular build. His intense Life Energy caused dramatic physical growth, leaving his base body roughly three meters tall by his voyage with Baccarat. 1 20
- Long silver hair and deep blue eyes in his ordinary form. 1
- Usually carries a katana and wears geta while in the Kingdom of Ye. 1 3
- His stabilized vampire form retains a human appearance while manifesting crimson eyes, fangs, and large blood-red bat wings. 26
- His modified hybrid form reaches approximately seven meters in height and is surrounded by blood-colored mist. 31
- His awakened Hybrid Form manifests crimson flame clouds in addition to his wings and vampiric traits. 204 209
- Can operate in black Germa-derived armor with a pointed-eared helmet, allowing him to disguise himself as Germa’s “Stealth Black.” 76 111 175
Personality
Lucas is relentlessly disciplined. His daily training once included ten thousand sword swings, swimming through freezing seas, and using Geppo against Ye’s violent weather. He views strength as the foundation of survival because his childhood taught him that weakness invites exploitation. 1 2
He is pragmatic and exceptionally cautious in battle, using Haki even when his regeneration could let him endure an attack. He avoids needlessly provoking overwhelming enemies, as shown when he escaped Shiki rather than attempting an unwinnable fight. 5 6
Lucas is ruthless toward traffickers, gangsters, and enemies who threaten his companions, often killing them for both security and profit. However, he refuses to bully ordinary civilians and chose to purchase a ship rather than seize it by force. 6 9 11
Though initially driven by revenge and freedom, Lucas later recognizes that he wants strength to protect his chosen family and the dreams they hold. 41
He distinguishes justice from institutional obedience. In Lucas’s view, justice means a peaceful society where people can live safely, eat adequately, and remain free from murder, kidnapping, and slavery. 46
Lucas is an effective but highly personal leader. He rewards competence and loyalty, delegates administration to trusted subordinates, and recognizes when his rapidly expanding organization requires expertise beyond his own. 37 51 62
His compassion is frequently entangled with calculation. He heals, shelters, and supports vulnerable people, yet may deliberately exploit their dependence or emotional weaknesses to bind them to his side. 3 103 159
He does not regard himself as universally compassionate and finds it difficult to empathize with unknown strangers. Nevertheless, he does not prevent his companions from helping others and is willing to resolve trouble arising from their generosity. He also refrains from killing people indiscriminately when he lacks grounds to judge them as enemies or wrongdoers. 144 263
Lucas values retaining his humanity despite his vampiric abilities. Although blood and Life Energy can sustain him, he continues eating three meals a day because he does not want to become increasingly like a monster. 20
He treats swordsmanship as a practical means of becoming stronger rather than a sacred vocation. He originally chose the sword because it was common in the Kingdom of Ye and told Mihawk that he had never considered himself a swordsman. His later tournament also allowed him to observe and copy powerful opponents’ techniques. 83 197 198
His affection for his family includes efforts to manage rivalry among his partners. He stopped Hancock and Yamato from fighting by reminding them that they were family, and later ate both of their competing breakfasts rather than hurt either woman’s feelings. 244 290
Lucas prefers taking a conflict to an enemy’s territory rather than allowing it to endanger his home. Although confident that he could defeat Shiki individually, he remained concerned that the Flying Pirates could destroy the Federation’s islands. 263
Abilities & Skills
Swordsmanship and Rokushiki
Lucas is a highly trained swordsman whose physical strength amplifies the destructive force of his techniques. He learned much of his combat foundation by copying Gion’s movements during their early clashes. 2 5
- Uses vacuum slashes through sword strikes and Rankyaku. 1 5
- Can unleash Rankyaku Ran, a barrage of flying vacuum slashes. 5 13
- Uses Geppo for sea travel, aerial movement, and high-speed combat positioning. 1 6
- Uses Soru for burst movement. 2 29
- Can employ techniques such as Kaichu Rakka and Ketsudanpa in close combat. 41
- Learned Issho’s principles of sensing the “breath” of steel and infusing personal will into a blade, improving his previously stagnant swordsmanship. 64
- Can cut Borsalino’s light attacks with a Haki-infused sword strike. 65
- Uses Dracule, a blade comparable in quality to a Supreme Grade Blade, as his principal sword in high-level battles. 51 65
- Can forge weapons from extracted elemental metals and launch massive flying slashes capable of splitting terrain, sea, and warships. 153 165 193
- Can create and control ten thousand Armament Haki-coated metal swords through Myriad Swords Return to the Source. 153
- Uses Rankyaku: Bloody Bat, a bat-shaped, Haki-infused vacuum slash more than a hundred meters wide. 74
- Uses Razor for extreme-speed aerial movement. 146
- Copied Divine Departure from Shanks after seeing it once, then used the Conqueror’s Haki-infused sword technique against Borsalino and Shiki. 197 208 270
- Can deliver a cannon-like, Conqueror’s Haki-infused sword shockwave powerful enough to break through Mihawk’s flying slash, which exceeded a thousand meters in height. 200
- Uses Extreme Mastery: Asura Blood Light Slash, a Devil Fruit-generated crescent of blood over ten thousand meters high. Unlike an ordinary flying slash, it is formed from blood power and Two-Color Haki, and requires nearly half his Haki reserves. 272
Haki
Lucas possesses all three known forms of Haki and has developed them through continual combat. 1 2
- Observation Haki — detects nearby presences and tracks threats before they strike. 1
- Armament Haki — reinforces his body, weapons, projectiles, and slashes; he can project it through techniques such as Rankyaku. 5
- Advanced Armament Haki — can project Haki as defensive armor and reinforce blood, sound, metal, and electromagnetic attacks. 41 152
- Conqueror’s Haki — can incapacitate weaker opponents and has advanced after gaining a personal purpose beyond revenge. 6 11 41
- Conqueror’s Haki Infusion — coats attacks in black-red Conqueror’s lightning, enabling direct physical destruction of powerful Haki defenses. First demonstrated in his final clash with Issho. 153 189 209 236
- Supreme Armament Haki — used to reinforce his enormous blood attacks during his confrontation with Kaido. 215
- Admiral-level Haki resistance — according to Vegapunk, Haki at Lucas’s level naturally produces a force field that causes certain rule-altering abilities, including the Op-Op Fruit’s cutting and teleportation and the Hobby-Hobby Fruit’s toy transformation, to fail against the user. 221
Lucas’s stamina and Haki reserves are not interchangeable. During his duel with Issho, he compensated for weaker Armament Haki by expending several times as much Haki, leaving him mentally exhausted despite retaining substantial physical stamina. His Mythical Zoan endurance does not provide limitless Haki. 153
Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire
Lucas deliberately sought the Mythical Zoan Vampire Fruit because its powers complement his abnormal physique. Its Life Energy absorption repairs injuries and can strengthen his body. 8
- Vampire transformation — grants fangs, bat wings, crimson eyes, enhanced physical ability, and an unnaturally alluring presence. 8 26
- Black mist — conceals his presence and supports aerial infiltration or evasive movement. 8 14
- Enhanced hearing — can detect distant conversations and threats from hundreds of meters away. 8 11
- Ultrasonic attack — emits inaudible high-frequency waves that inflict internal damage; whether Armament Haki can resist it remains unconfirmed. 8
- Blood-red bats — summons bats that drain victims’ blood, lifespan, and Life Energy. 8
- Regeneration — converts absorbed Life Energy into rapid healing, including recovery from severe organ and bone damage. 7 8 40
- Stable Beast and Hybrid Forms — can maintain a mostly human Beast Form and later shift between forms without consuming Rumble Ball-like medicine. 26 31 61
- Awakened Hybrid Form — surrounds him with blood-colored flame clouds and grants physical strength comparable to an Ancient Giant. 204 209
- Deep Sleep — can enter a profound dormant state that suppresses his life aura and slows aging, which he has adapted for stealth and surveillance. 175
- Life Energy sensing — locates powerful living beings through their vitality independently of sight and Observation Haki. This allowed him to counter Shanks’s Observation Killing. 197
- Destructive Explosive Gale Bullet — combines ultrasonic waves, electromagnetic beams, and Conqueror’s Haki lightning in his throat to launch a scarlet sphere dozens of meters in diameter. It countered Borsalino’s light barrage and temporarily dispersed the severe weather at Wano’s sea entrance. 210 215
His awakening involved confronting and destroying the Devil Fruit’s will in Consciousness Space rather than submitting to it. Both sides used identical blood techniques, and Lucas prevailed after recalling his loved ones and unleashing a greater blood wave. 202
Blood and Life Energy Manipulation
Lucas can manipulate blood directly, drain Life Energy, and transfer Life Energy to others. His range and precision improved after combining blood control with electromagnetic influence over iron in blood. 19 27
- Can drain enemies into desiccated corpses through direct contact or at range. 11 27
- Can form blood weapons, blood spikes, pools of blood, and large constructs such as a blood dragon. 27 40
- Can create blood bats, wolves, snakes, birds, humanoid constructs, whips, giant hands, and defensive blood formations. 25 65 209
- Can use offensive techniques including Bloody Hunt, Blood Dragon Bullet, Blood Shockwave, Riptide Burial, Higanbana, and Fist Bone: Bloodstorm. 25 37 53 152
- Can remotely disturb blood inside a target’s body, although sufficiently powerful Armament Haki can suppress the effect. 41 147 153
- Can share Life Energy to rejuvenate and physically strengthen companions. 19 26 28
- Can heal severe wounds, starvation damage, and illnesses through blood infused with Life Energy. 46 103 159
- Recipients of his lifespan-sharing may develop spiritual resonance with him, creating the appearance that he can read their thoughts. 32
- Can establish active mental communication with lifespan-sharing recipients, forming a private telepathic network. 32 68
- Can establish a one-way telepathic channel to observe a recipient’s thoughts, as he did to verify that Stussy retained her independent consciousness after recompilation. 69
- Uses Vortex Blood Spear, Blood Dragon Violent Bite, and Blood Flow Wave, the last of which employs high-frequency, serrated blood blades reinforced with Armament Haki. 39 40 74
- Uses Blood Formation Wall and Blood Domain Veil as defenses against powerful attacks. 65 162
- Can project a compressed, Armament Haki-coated blood stream from his mouth like a high-pressure cutter, slicing into Issho’s gravity field and Haki armor. 152
- Can restore lifespan expended by others, as demonstrated on Kalifa and Issho after the dismantling of the Flying Pirates’ islands. 276
- Applied two drops of blood essence to Issho’s eyes as treatment. 276
His blood control is not universally effective. Whitebeard’s vastly superior Haki prevented Lucas from disturbing his blood even without a deliberate countermeasure, while Marco’s Phoenix flames prevented Lucas from drawing blood during their prolonged battle. Lucas believed stronger Haki might overcome Marco’s protection, but had not established that at the time. 135 147
Conqueror’s Haki Infusion can slow his regeneration by destroying cells at their root. Whitebeard’s attack temporarily left Lucas unable to continue fighting, but sufficiently intense Life Energy expenditure eventually regenerated the destroyed tissue and repaired the injury. 148 150
Lineage Factor Extraction
By combining his constitution, vampiric blood absorption, and Kureha’s instruction, Lucas can separate Devil Fruit Lineage Factors from dead users and implant them into ordinary fruit. 12 16 17
- Recreated the Munch-Munch Fruit after killing Wapol. 17
- Recreated the Bear-Bear Fruit from a Resort Island casino enforcer. 19
- Recreated the Net-Net Fruit after killing Largo. 34
- Extracted Absalom’s Clear-Clear Fruit Lineage Factor after killing him. 38
- Extracted Capone Bege’s Castle-Castle Fruit Lineage Factor and implanted it into his Bat Ring. 37 54
- Claimed the reborn Ripe-Ripe Fruit after killing Shinobu. 217
- Later possessed the reborn Riki Riki no Mi and the Disease-Disease Fruit. He selected the Riki Riki no Mi for Weevil because its straightforward strength amplification suited Weevil’s instinctive fighting style. 253
- Can extract a Lineage Factor directly from an uneaten Devil Fruit, returning the fruit itself to an ordinary state, as demonstrated with the Clank-Clank Fruit. 23
- Kureha warned that his body could safely accommodate only one additional compatible Devil Fruit Lineage Factor beyond his existing powers; Zoans, Logias, and body-altering Paramecias would cause fatal collapse. 16
Lineage Factor Optimization and Recompilation
Lucas has expanded Kureha’s teachings into biological modification and artificial-life research. 54 68
- Can optimize Lineage Factors to improve a recipient’s physique and natural affinity for Haki. 54
- Can recompile the Lineage Factors of artificial humans such as clones, replacing a creator’s biological control anchor with his own imprint. 68
- Unlike the First Embrace, recompilation preserves the subject’s personality, emotions, independent will, and potential to develop Haki. 68
- The First Embrace can create remote control and memory access through Lucas’s blood, but diminishes the recipient’s independent will and risks turning them into a puppet. 68 92
- His study of Vegapunk’s published Lineage Factor papers helped establish the theoretical possibility of recompiling artificial humans. Stussy was his first practical test. 68 69
- Optimization raised Baccarat’s basic physical attributes to a level Lucas compared with Gear Fourth Luffy at its first appearance; Robin, Stussy, Scarlet, and Hina underwent similar physical testing. 138
- Repeatedly optimized Hancock after her three-year training period in the Time Spirit Room, performing the procedure dozens of times before the Hachinosu operation. 244 247
The First Embrace’s loss of independent will also prevents recipients from developing Haki and can cause them to lose Haki they already possessed. Lucas therefore regards such recipients as suitable for technical tasks based on retained knowledge, but refuses to use the procedure on future romantic partners. 68
Electricity and Electromagnetic Force
After draining Airey, Lucas gained azure electrical power. He later merged this power with the Clank-Clank Fruit’s magnetic Lineage Factor, creating electromagnetic force rather than ordinary magnetism. 11 23
- Generates electrical attacks including Thunder Spear, Thunder Crescent Slash, and Electromagnetic Cannon. 40 41
- Extracts metallic particles directly from soil and shapes them into weapons. 23
- Manipulates metal and magnetic targets, including pulling Daz Bonez’s steel body from the ground. 23 32
- Can stop and reflect large volleys of bullets with an invisible electromagnetic barrier. 34
- Uses electromagnetic propulsion for extreme aerial mobility and sudden directional changes. 53 111
- Can stimulate his own cells with electricity to sustain movement and recovery under extreme physical pressure. 151
- Developed 200 Million Volts: Massive Jet, a blood-and-lightning electromagnetic wave powerful enough to erode Whitebeard’s Haki armor. 147
- Can use Two Hundred Million Volts: Scatter Electromagnetic Cannon to destroy incoming meteorites. 151
- Applies Lightning Metallurgy and Memory Metal in the creation of specialized weapons, armor, and equipment. 76
- Uses Fifty Million Volts: Thunder Spear and Thirty Million Volts: Thunder Crescent Slash. 40
- Uses Electric Eyes Intimidate to fire blood-red electromagnetic beams from his eyes, meeting Queen’s laser in a direct collision. 57
- Can reinforce and accelerate his sword arm with electromagnetic force, helping him shatter Borsalino’s Ama no Murakumo. 65
- Uses One Hundred Million Volts: Vortex Blood Spear, combining a spinning blood spear with electromagnetic beams and dense electrical arcs. 133
- Can envelop Dracule in elemental metal and propel it like an electromagnetic projectile. 74
- Uses violent bioelectric currents alongside his awakened Hybrid Form to accelerate into close combat against Shiki. 270
Rumble Ball Research
Lucas applies Kureha’s Lineage Factor theory to custom medicinal pills modeled after Rumble Balls. 16 24
- Stabilizes his vampire form while reducing unwanted beast-like traits. 26
- Developed a modified hybrid transformation rather than relying solely on full beastification. 31
- Continues refining transformation “wavelengths” to preserve power without sacrificing his human appearance. 24 26
- Eventually gained enough control over his forms that he no longer needs the medicine to transform. 61
Physical Conditioning
Lucas continuously subjects himself to extreme environmental and combat training, relying on Life Energy to heal and adapt to resulting damage. 1 76
- Endured Issho’s maximum gravity field for approximately two and a half hours, repeatedly healing internal damage while forcing his body to adapt. 76
- Trained directly in Raijin Island’s purple lightning, allowing electricity and Life Energy to repeatedly damage and restore his body. 115 123
- Reached sufficient awakened physical strength to catch a falling island, reinforce the ground beneath it with Armament Haki, and perform squats while holding it overhead. 204
- Withstood Yamato’s Thunder Bagua without being moved during her post-Time Spirit Room challenge, while her club failed to injure him. 223
Training and Tactical Instruction
Lucas trains others through martial instruction, Life Energy reinforcement, and carefully arranged combat experiences. He seeks balanced development in both swordsmanship and unarmed fighting rather than relying on a single discipline. 57 58 223
- Staged a dangerous-looking confrontation with Queen to trigger Yamato’s emotional awakening of Conqueror’s Haki. Once she awakened it, he healed himself and shifted into a genuine counterattack. 57
- Shared Life Energy with Yamato before their later duel so that she could survive his attacks and recover from severe injuries. 223
- Compiled a booklet of kicking techniques from works remembered from his previous life and his own martial understanding, then gave it to Hancock for her Time Spirit Room training. 244
- Uses accelerated training in the Time Spirit Room to develop his companions, supplementing their training with Lineage Factor Optimization. 244 247
Equipment / Weapons / Items
- Katana — Lucas’s long-used primary weapon, carried since his years in the Kingdom of Ye. 1
- Dracule — an enormous black cross-shaped royal sword of the ancient Luluisa Kingdom. Comparable to a Supreme Grade Blade, it is Lucas’s preferred weapon in major battles. 51 65
- Eos — a matte-black submarine taken from the Amigo Pirates and renamed after Sister Eos; Lucas intends to develop it into an advanced vessel with Vegapunk’s assistance. 34 35
