One Piece - Life Choice Ask Me to Kiss Marine Goddes Hina

…

"It tastes delicious! This soup is obviously like water, but the taste is very rich."

Lynch savored a sip of Zeff's carefully prepared soup and enjoyed another bite of seafood fried rice.

As we all know, Sanji learned his cooking skills from Zeff.

Now, he had tasted the food that even seagulls want to eat.

Hina's mouth was bulging, her big eyes narrowed happily into crescents.

Zeff was pleased to hear someone complimenting the soup he made.

Of course, it would be even better if the one praising him wasn't a Marine.

"I like these dishes very much. Could you teach the ship's chef how to make them?" 

"No problem." 

After the meal, Lynch began shooing people away.

"You're not leaving yet. Would you like to stay for dinner?"

"Thanks."

Zeff couldn't believe his luck today, encountering a Marine who didn't arrest pirates but let them go.

It's truly extraordinary like how his mother opens doors to extraordinary things her children do. 

It's a breath of fresh air in the Pirates world.

"Did you really let them go?"

Smoker looked at the pirate ship moving away, as if he had met Lynch for the first time.

"If not?"

"I thought you were going to kill them."

"That's too cruel. I'm actually quite kind, you know."

"You're the only one who's kind? Haha." Smoker looked at him with disdain.

"Can you take me to Loguetown first?"

"No. Hina hasn't been home in years. Take him back to see his family first." 

Smoker: "..."

He didn't want to stay on the ship and eat like a dog.

"By the way, Cocoyasi Village isn't far from Hina's home. Let's go take a look first." 

Lynch went to Cocoyasi Village not for Nami, but for her mother, Bellmere.

Based on the timeline, Bellmere had quit the Marines about a year or two ago.

Before leaving the Marines, Bellmere wasn't just a regular soldier; she had fought pirates in East Blue for many years.

Therefore, she has a clear understanding of the entire East Blue environment.

Precisely because she has become a civilian, Lynch can safely ask her some sensitive questions.

About the relationship between the East Blue Kingdom.

"Oh, by the way, can you help me keep an eye on someone in East Blue from now on?"

"Who?"

"Kuro."

"Do you have something to do with him?"

"Do you know what's most valuable in this new era?"

"What?"

"Talent!"

"I'm interested in him, so keep an eye out for me."

Kuro is said to have the second highest IQ among pirates.

…

Another month has passed.

Lynch directed the warship to search for pirates as they hurried to their destination.

During this time, over sixty pirate crews, big and small, were defeated.

There are also a lot of ability users who were also captured one after another, including those caught at Reverse Mountain.

There are a frighteningly high number of 50 devil fruit users imprisoned on the ship.

Fifty devil fruit users, this wave of military success has made Lynch a lot of money.

Cocoyashi Village. 

In this remote town in East Blue, all residents make a living by selling oranges and live a difficult life struggling to make ends meet.

When the residents saw the Marines arriving, they didn't greet them with excitement. Instead, they eyed them warily, as if they were a bad omen.

Marines rarely visited this remote town, and nothing good ever seemed to happen when they did.

When they were either catching pirates or chasing down criminals with bounties on their head, marines usually caused great losses to the village.

"Marine, what are you doing here again this time?"

The man with the windmill on his head stepped out and cautiously negotiated with Lynch.

"I'm afraid you may have misunderstood uncle, look." 

Lynch pointed at his cloak of justice and said: "I am a colonel from the Marines Headquarters. I came to East Blue just to deliver a message. I heard that your oranges were delicious this time. I want to buy them all back and give them to my friends to try."

"Not a Marine from East Blue?"

Genzo's eyes quickly switched between Lynch and the soldiers behind him.

The spirit of the soldiers in front of him was different from the Marines he had seen before.

Is he really not from East Blue?

Genzo was shocked to see three gems embedded in Lynch's sword. 

This guy seems to be a rich man.

Some villagers hadn't sold anything for months, especially Bellmere and her family, who had run out of food.

The relief food was only enough for two children, and Bellmere could only survive eating oranges every day.

If they missed this big sale because of him, Genzo will probably blame himself...

"Are you really here to buy oranges?"

By now, Genzo had completely believed him. If Lynch had come to catch a criminal, the culprit would have fled long ago.

"If not?"

...five minutes later.

"Hahaha, young people are amazing. At such a young age, he's already a colonel at Marine Headquarters."

"Oh, it's a pity that I don't have a daughter, otherwise I would have married her to a young and handsome man like you."

A group of respected old people in the village stood in front of Lynch with smiles.

"I want all the oranges in the village, every last one of it" 

Lynch instructed, gesturing for his men to bring a box of gold coins.

"Also, I need to meet the person in charge of each orange tree."

"Easy to say, easy to say. No problem at all," replied several villagers, their eyes gleaming as they stared at the treasure box.

After killing many pirates, Lynch had become wealthy, and this small fortune could grow even larger. 

Bellmere does not live in the village, but in a hidden corner outside the village.

Genzo was known for protecting the Bellmere family. 

Additionally, Bellmere was a former Marine deserter.

Putting all three together, it would take a lot of courage for Lynch to wear this outfit and say he want to see Bellmere.

Everything remains as simple as it is now.

Before long, Lynch spotted Bellmere among the orange boxes.

She had pink hair that made her stand out, with a cigarette in her mouth, looking to be in her mid-twenties. 

While her clothes were wet from moving all these orange boxes, her face still beamed with a bright smile.

Lynch walked over and said, "Ma'am, to ensure the quality of the oranges I'm buying, may I visit your orchard?"

"So handsome."

Bellmere stood up and looked at the man in front of her, slightly lost in thought.

"What did you say?"

"I praise you for being a handsome guy~"

With her body sticky, Bellmere simply took off her coat, revealing her better figure.

She glanced in Genzo's direction, and he nodded back at her.

"Alright, come with me. Let's not bring too many people, so we don't scare the children."

"Okay, I'll go alone with you. The rest will handle the oranges here."

As soon as they reached Bellmere's orange grove, the smile vanished from her face instantly.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Oh, how did you figure that out?" Lynch realized he had underestimated this woman's intelligence.

"Women's intuition."

"Okay." Lynch spread his hands and dropped the act. 

"Soldier Bellmere..." 

Before he could finish, a long leg suddenly kicked towards him. Bang~

The scene changed, and Lynch pinned Bellmere to the ground with one hand.

"You should listen to what I have to say, soldier. I have no ill intentions towards you. I just want you to be honest with me by revealing your identity."

"Ugh~ let me go first, bastard!"

Bellmere's long legs struggled fiercely.
