NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: 20 Kizaru Arrive, Ambiguous Justice?
They kept coming, no matter how many he killed.
For every one he took down, ten more appeared.
Lynch knew he should retreat after ten minutes.
"Rust, sword."
Suddenly, a CP Agent appeared and grabbed Lynch's sword with its hand. Not only was the hand unscathed, but the sword was also reduced to scrap metal.
"Hohoho, don't be surprised. I am the Rush Man, who ate the Rush Rush Fruit, the nemesis of all swordsmen."
"Idiot,"
Lynch muttered, shifting sideways to block the view of his hand and stabbing the man through the heart with a finger pistol.
"Hoohoho~" Blood overflowed from the man's throat, and he looked at Lynch in disbelief.
Lynch used another sword to chop off the man's head with his backhand.
"Sweet shock!"
"Tempest Kick."
Lynch saw a heart flying over, but he didn't know what kind of random fruit abilities it was.
He dodged the flying kick and sheathed his sword.
"One Sword Style: Quick Slash!"
With a swift motion, he unleashed a powerful strike, cutting down dozens of enemies in an instant. Lynch finally had a moment to catch his breath.
"!!!"
Suddenly, his expression suddenly became alarmed. He tilted his head sharply as a stream of air whooshed past his ear.
"Flying Finger Pistol?"
It seems a true master has arrived.
An enemy wearing a cat mask appeared in front of Lynch and attacked without a word.
"The legendary CP0?" Lynch asked.
In response, the masked figure rapidly fired off six consecutive finger gun attacks.
The afterimage of Six Finger-Gun instantly aimed for Lynch's head, heart, and arteries in his limbs.
It was clear from their first encounter that this man possessed the strength of a Vice Admiral.
This was going to be troublesome..
Without Marine Six Styles or Conqueror's Haki, and left with just one sword, Lynch found himself being beaten by Vice Admiral-level master.
After dozens of exchanges, his sword covered by Armanent haki was shattered by the opponent, sending Lynch flying.
This time, Lynch only had two ordinary swords, which, despite being coated with Armament Haki, couldn't withstand the relentless attacks from another Armament Haki master.
At that moment, the system beeped in his mind.
[Ding! Successfully led 12,000 slaves to safety. Congratulations on completing the fifth (final) stage of the mission. Do you want to claim the reward?]
Lynch was hesitant to take it now because he wouldn't be able to take it with him if it gave him a supremely sharp sword or a Devil Fruit.
If he were to eat a Zoan-type Devil Fruit, it would take time to adapt, and falling into water would risk his life as a landlubber.
The man in the cat mask swiftly caught up with Lynch and delivered a lightning-fast leg whip.
Lynch pushed thoughts of the reward aside and focused solely on dealing with the formidable opponent in front of him.
His teachers are Garp and Zephyr, so Lynch's boxing skills are also quite strong in addition to his swordsmanship.
He can hold his own against an opponent for three to five minutes without much trouble.
The retreat path was surrounded by seas,but he was not very panicked. The worst that could happen was exposing Moonwalk, but he trusted it would help him escape.
"Hey~ You're the one behind all these freed slaves, huh? You're really scary despite being so young."
In the dark night, a radiant glow shone like the sun as a mischievous old man floated in the air, observing the scene below.
In fact, Kizaru arrived five minutes ago. If he hadn't been afraid that Sengoku would deduct his salary, he would have even wanted to hide for a while.
"Admiral Kizaru!" Lynch's expression changed drasticaly
Wasn't it said Marine Admirals took half an hour to arrive?
Yes, Kizaru ate the Logia Devil Fruit—the Light-Light Fruit, which moves faster than light!
Admirals. Looks like he is forced to work hard right now.
"With that scary look, are you trying to attack me?"
Kizaru slowly raised his two-meter-long legs. "Young man, have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
In less than a blink of an eye, Kizaru turned into a golden light and appeared next to Lynch, kicking him up to a height of 100 meters.
The mask CP0 paused for a moment, why did Kizaru kick someone so far?
"Speed is power, Yata no Kagami!"
Kizaru flew into the air and opened his hands. A mirror-like object appeared, and a laser-like light shot out in an instant.
These lasers are too fast to be seen with the naked eye. Without Lynch knowing, Kizaru already above him, and kick him hard toward the sea
Lynch: "?"
He realized that Kizaru's kick just now wasn't that strong.
"Yasakani no Magatama"
The hunt with Yasakani no Magatama is even more surprising. It appears to hit its target, yet it actually doesn't hit anyone.
"On behalf of Marine, I, Kizaru, must kill you, the evil person who is disrupting the world."
After the laser shot, Kizaru suddenly shouted something abnormal, and then kicked Lynch off the cliff with a strong kick.
This kick was so hard that Lynch fainted with a mouthful of blood.
As he fell into the sea, Lynch woke up feeling the cool water and wondered why Kizaru spared him in the end.
He was sure that Kizaru didn't recognize him.
And he's definitely doesn't have the protagonist halo here
"Is ambiguous justice still justice in the end?"
He felt he was starting to understand Kizaru differently.
After a moment of silence, Lynch stepped on the Moonwalk and rushed towards Marine Base.
…
At four o'clock in the morning, Lynch returned to Marineford from a remote corner.
He couldn't explain things that would appear suddenly if he received the reward. What if he was given something weird...
So he planned to leave Marine tomorrow and collect the reward before it was too late.
Immediately after returning home, Lynch immediately destroyed anything that could reveal his identity.
After taking a shower, he took out the Devil Fruit illustrated book and examined the two Devil Fruits in his hand.
Luck was on his side—both Devil Fruits were listed:
One was Paramecia, the Prison Fruit,
And the other was Zoan, Ape-Ape fruit Model: BigFoot form.
After some thought, Lynch knocked on Hina's door late that night.
"What are you doing? Hina is so sleepy."
Hina yawned and came out in her underwear, not realizing that she was in her underwear
His curvy figure was an eye-opener for Lynch.
Especially the one on her chest, a deep and endless abyss.
As if aware of the burning gaze, Hina rubbed her eyes and looked down.
"YOU! Don't look at it!"
She didn't know whether to cover her body or Lynch's eyes for a moment, and finally closed the door with a bang.
Lynch's throat was rolling, it was so exciting in the middle of the night, and there were late-night benefits.
After a while, fully dressed, Hina welcomed Lynch inside.
If he looked closely, he could see her flushed cheeks, which was really cute.
"Give me your Devil Fruit."
"Oh."
Hina didn't ask any questions, simply retrieved the Devil Fruit from under the covers and handed it to Lynch.
"This is for you."
Lynch handed the Paramecia Prison Fruit he had prepared to Hina.
"What's this?"
Hina turned the Devil Fruit in her hand over and over again, always feeling a bit like her own fruit.
"This is Paramecia's Prison Fruit, the superior fruit of your Cage-Cage Fruit."
"If you eat it, it should be able to disguise itself as Cage-Cage Fruit. Just eat it."
Lynch explained with a smile
