NOVEL NEXT Chapter 10: 10 Poor Tom
"I promise to complete the mission, Fleet Admiral Sengoku."
As Sengoku walked away, Lynch rolled up his sleeves, took out the wool shears and shaver from the box, and slowly approached the goat.
The goat seemed to sense something was wrong and began to move uneasily.
Buzzing~
Lynch turned on the shaver, hugged the goat tightly, and began his task.
With a tearing sound, the hair on the goat's head was shaved down to the skin, creating a groove.
The goat felt a chill on its head, screamed continuously, and struggled violently.
"Be quiet. I'll be done in a moment. I'm sure you'll impress with the new haircut."
As he spoke, Lynch sped up his movements.
The shaved head area was completely bald, as the Mediterranean style meant it couldn't have a single hair on it.
The animals in this world are extremely intelligent. Not only can they understand speech, but some of them can also speak themselves.
The goat turned back and gave Lynch an "I don't believe you" look, then screamed even louder.
"Baa~baa...baa baa baa!!!"
"Bwahahahaha, Sengoku, did you do something shameful to your goat? It's screaming so miserably."
The door burst open, and Garp walked in with an unfamiliar swagger, holding a bag of senbei and stuffing it into his mouth.
Meanwhile, Lynch finished the final cut.
The goat's entire body was covered in furry hair, except for its bald head, giving it the appearance of a middle-aged uncle, which was very funny
The goat stood looking at Garp with tears in his eyes.
"Pfft~ Bwahahaha, but...it's so ridiculous, I'm dying."
Garp couldn't contain himself anymore and laughed loudly, clutching the door. The senbei fell to the ground as he burst into tears.
Lynch smiled awkwardly and explained, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked me to help shave his goat."
"Bwahahaha, with this hairstyle, you're really talented, kid."
Whenever Garp saw his old friend's pet's new look, he couldn't help but laugh until his stomach hurt.
"Senior Garp, you came just in time, help me see where there are any flaws, and I will correct them."
"Okay, I'll give you some advice." Garp walked over happily, like a playful old child.*
At first, Garp directed Lynch on where to cut. Then, feeling it wasn't enough, he simply took the tools and started doing it himself.
Lynch couldn't help but sigh; Garp's character was so similar to Luffy's. They truly were worthy of being grandfather and grandson.
It's quite a miracle that a funny man like Garp can produce someone as serious as Monkey D Dragon.
In the end, with the cooperation of the two, a new-look goat was born.
"Bwahahaha, perfect. I can't wait to see Sengoku's reaction when he sees the goat."
Garp chuckled, picking his nostrils.
As luck would have it, Sengoku returned after finishing his work.
The moment he opened the door, Sengoku's first reaction was, "What in the world is that exotic creature on the ground?"
The second reaction was, "Where is my sheep?"
The third reaction was, "That's my sheep!"
Sengoku's eyes slowly moved to the scissors in Garp's hand. Veins popped up on his forehead, and he almost gritted his teeth as he said, word by word,
"Ga! Rp!" The donut in his hand dropped and hit Garp.
Garp laughed loudly, "No, Sengoku seems really mad this time. Let's get out of here!"
He grabbed Lynch and leaped out of the window, not forgetting to snatch a few donuts on his way out.
Just after turning a corner, Garp stopped, patted Lynch on the head, and said, "Don't worry, Sengoku's anger usually only lasts about half an hour."
For Garp, who often steals Sengoku's snacks, he clearly understands Sengoku's temper.
"I'm not worried. After all, Senior Garp, you're the real troublemaker. I'm just a helper."
Garp's eyes widened. "Fair enough. Want to join me on my ship?"
"Even with Senior Garp, I still have to build my skills in the elite camp."
Lynch thought to himself, with Garp's old habits, if I stick around him, I might end up fighting every pirate in sight. Then, it'll be my job to clean up the mess and earn points.
"Tch. Isn't it just Marine Six Styles? That's nothing. I can teach you that,"
Garp said, but when Lynch declined, Garp didn't insist.
Once Garp left, Lynch retreated to a deserted corner and muttered to himself, "Time to claim my reward."
Meanwhile, in the world of cats and mice...
Tom Cat walked down the street, carrying a small bag of belongings slung over a wooden stick.
Because he's unable to catch mice, Tom was replaced by a robot cat purchased by its owner, who then kicked Tom out of the house.
Just as Tom was feeling lost, a voice echoed in his mind.
[Are you willing to travel to another world? 1. Yes, 2. Very willing. ]
The fur on Tom Cat's body suddenly exploded, and it jumped five meters high with a whoosh. It fell to the ground and turned into a puddle of liquid cat cake, and then slowly returned to its cat shape.
What sound had it heard incorrectly?
[In exchange, you may make a request. ]
A piece of parchment materialized out of thin air into Tom's hand.
Tom's eyes bulged, then snapped back like springs.
Not a mere illusion!
Lost in thought, Tom fell silent.
After a long while, a line of words slowly materialized on the parchment: Please give Tom a master, the one who will never abandon Tom.
In Tom's heart, only cats with owners are true domestic cats.
A cat without an owner is just a stray.
Tom longs to be a house cat, not a wild cat.
The parchment crumbled into ashes and vanished into the air, while a black hole materialized in the sky, sucked Tom Cat into its depths.
The words were divided into two parts. Lynch looked at the British shorthair cat that appeared in front of him and fell into deep thought.
The blue and white fur is just like the Tom Cat he watched when he was a child.
"Are you Tom?" Lynch ask.
Lynch wasn't worried about whether Tom would understand him. After all, this was a unique cat.
Tom has served as a sailor in the United States, a guard for the Queen in the United Kingdom, a samurai in Japan, and even going into space, the moon, and assisting experiments, etc….
Police, prison guards, sentries, swordsmen...
Tom has mastered countless things in his rich life experience, becoming grandmaster in sixteen languages.
Spotting Lynch's attire, Tom quickly offered a military salute and nodded in recognition.
"Amazing, you're truly Tom Cat!" Lynch exclaimed with joy.
As Lynch knelt down to get a closer look, a stool was quietly offered from the side. He instinctively took it and gratefully said, "Thank you."
However, Lynch quickly realized and turned to Tom, asking, "Where did you find the stool?"
Tom scratched his head and took out a stool from where the tail hair was.
"!" Lynch's eyes widened. How had these two stools, each as big as Tom, been hidden within his fur?
Yes, Tom in the cartoon will take out something from time to time, as if it appears out of thin air.
"Can you hide something in your hair?"
Tom nodded.
"How much can be hidden?"
Tom thought for a while, and it seemed that he didn't know how many things were hidden on his body, so he started to take them out one by one.
Shovels, firecrackers, cans, hammers, dried fish, binoculars...
Tom took out countless things and piled them into a hill two meters high.
