NOVEL NEXT Chapter 13: 13 Time Skip: Half Year
"This Conqueror's Haki is powerful enough to affect reality. Is that bastard Roger resurrected? Or is Whitebeard coming back for revenge?"
Sengoku speculated, his voice filled with speculation.
"Bwahahaha! I haven't come across such an outstanding Conqueror's in many years."
Garp exclaimed, crossing his legs as he laughed.
Vice Admiral Tsuru cast an angry glance at the two of them and snapped, "Why don't you go see what's going on?"
.....
Above the Red Line, the holy place Mariejois.
In Pangea Castle, sitting on the Void Throne was a woman with a good figure wearing a gauze.
She lowered her wheat-colored fleshy legs and narrowed her three eyes, gazing down in the direction of Marineford, whether intentionally or unintentionally.
She opened her lips lightly and murmured, "Do you have the qualifications of a king?"
"I've found what I was looking for."
Under the influence of Conqueror's Haki, Lynch extended his hand, seemingly reaching for a target in the void, his eyes blood-red.
"What I want... is everything!"
Since the incident happened in the middle of Marine Base, two Admirals arrived at the scene within a short time.
"Hey~ What a scary young man."
"Is this the kid who's releasing Conqueror's Haki?!"
…
About half an hour later, the unconscious people began to gradually wake up, and Lynch was "invited" to the highest conference room in the Marine headquarters.
Besides him, there were three Admirals present along with Marines Hero Garp, Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and Zephyr, along with Vice Admiral Tsuru.
Momousagi, who had been invited as well, felt a twinge of panic when she saw the serious atmosphere in the room.
Why was she summoned to such a meeting?
Feeling weak, pitiful, and helpless, Momousagi couldn't shake off the sense of unease.
"Ahem... Well, Gion, could you please explain how this kid awakened Conqueror's Haki?"
Vice Admiral Tsuruasked, feeling her age, found the situation simply outrageous.
"Okay, Tsuru-nee,"
Momousagi said, rising to her feet. Her pretty face flushed, she spoke with brevity and clarity:
"I was drunk and forcefully kissed Lynch, and then he awakened Conqueror's Haki,"
Momousagi confessed, her embarrassment evident as she finished speaking. She wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
The group of people stared at Momousagi with a mix of confusion and disbelief.
The idea of Conqueror's Haki being awakened with a kiss seemed like something out of a supernatural tale.
Why don't they get this treatment?
Conqueror's Haki is innate, a sign of being born with the qualifications of a king, a trait possessed by only one in a million.
The fact that today's three Admirals don't have Conqueror's highlights just how rare and exceptional it is.
"Bwahahaha, Gion, if you can make people awaken Conqueror's with just one kiss, you'll become famous,"
Garp joked, the only one with the heart to jest at that moment.
Within three seconds, however, he received a punch to the back of his head.
"Be more serious, Garp!"
Sengoku said, observing Gion with his peripheral vision and sensing Momousagi wanted to run away.
Sengoku hammered the table twice to attract everyone's attention, and said seriously:
"Everyone knows that Conqueror's can only awaken during moments of life and death crisis or through great mental stimulation"
Kizaru said in a long voice:"So, it was Gion's forced kiss that triggered intense mental stimulation in Lynch, leading to the awakening of Conqueror's Haki?"
Everyone still found it unbelievable.
What level of stimulation could compare to the moment of life and death?
But there was only one explanation: Gion was truly amazing!
"Gion, you've caused Lynch severe mental stimulation. Remember to comfort him when you have nothing to do in the future,"
Zephyr suddenly said, his tone was cold.
Tsuru frowned, then relaxed again.
It was obvious that Gion was interested in Lynch when she forcefully kissed him. After this incident, Lynch should be listed as a key training target. He's worthy of Momousagi.
Sengoku looked at Lynch, the protagonist of the incident, and said: "Lynch, is what Gion said correct?"
"Yes sir, More or less"
Lynch replied, touching his nose, feeling the weight of the incident sink in a little deeper.
"Good."
Sengoku glanced at everyone's faces one by one, "Lynch's Conqueror's Haki is unique. I suggest investing resources in his training. Any objections?"
Since entering the ages of pirates, pirates have become more and more rampant.
It is also time for Marines to train an Admiral who is good at Conqueror's to scare the pirates.
"Agreed"
"I have no objections"
"Sounds good"
With these opinions voiced, Sengoku swiftly concluded the matter.
"Alright, from now on, Lynch will withdraw from the elite camp and receive instruction from Zephyr and Garp," Sengoku announced.
These two are the best instructors that Marines have.
The former taught the Three Admirals, while the latter taught Dragon.
"As you command, Fleet Admiral Sengoku," Lynch replied.
Even as he returned home, Lynch couldn't shake the feeling that today had been a dream.
Lynch also gave Tom a serious warning not to drug people without his permission in the future.
Thankfully, nothing serious happened today, or it could have been disastrous.
…
Time flies by like a fleeting moment.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed.
A lot has happened in these six months.
Firstly, there's Momousagi, who seems to blame herself for that day, feeling guilty about Lynch.
She visits Lynch almost every day or two, helping with cleaning and cooking.
Some even come several times a day, and Momousagi seems to enjoy staying at Lynch's place.
The visits under the guise of seeing Tom have nothing to do with Lynch.
Nonetheless, Lynch didn't mind and enjoyed the food cooked by Momousagi.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention anything about what happened that day.
With frequent close contact, their feelings for each other grew rapidly.
This led to Lynch often feeling that Momousagi looked at him in a weird way.
Compared to a woman looking at a man, he felt that it was more like a sister looking at a younger brother, but there were other things mixed in, which was very strange.
Hina visits more frequently, especially since Momousagi, being a Rear Admiral, is usually busy with duties.
Hina, a Grandmaster, takes care of household chores like cleaning, cooking, and laundry. It's hard to believe she's an aristocratic lady from the East Blue.
Lynch sometimes thinks that marrying Hina would be a good idea, but he wonders if she would agree.
Under the support of the two Marine sisters, Lynch rarely goes out to eat.
Smoker often comes to Lynch for discussions.
But three months ago, Lynch surpassed Smoker in their discussions.
These are the only three peers Lynch knows well.
In the past six months, Lynch has been single-minded. All he needs to do every day is practice with Zephyr and Garp.
Even the two losers in the original work could produce earth-shaking changes after practicing with Garp for half a year, let alone Lynch.
His strength undergoes almost daily transformations, bringing about earth-shaking changes.
It's worth noting that Tokikake actually gave up harassing Momousagi.
Moreover, Tokikake are now rarely seen in Marine Base. They spend most of their time chasing pirates at sea.
After six months, all the Marines in the elite camp graduated and were assigned to various units in the Marine.
Smoker and Hina became his team members by his request.
Lynch had been discussing his plan to go overseas alone for a while.
Sengoku's initial response was that Lynch wasn't qualified to be the top commander of a warship.
But yesterday, that all changed. It was the day he graduated from Mr. Zephyr and Garp.
They both agreed that all the necessary teachings had been taught, and now it was up to him to figure things out on his own.
In the past six months, in order to learn about fighting, he had to suffer a lot from Garp's iron fist.
