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

"Welcome back, Rear Admiral Lynch!"

On both sides of the pier, Marines dressed in bright uniforms stood at the side. 

When they spotted Lynch's warship docking, they erupted in energetic shouts.

"What's the situation?" 

Lynch was taken aback. As a colonel, he wasn't accustomed to receiving a higher level of welcome than an admiral.

He leaped off the warship, ready to ask what was happening, when Garp appeared beside him, laughing.

"Bwahahaha, Lynch, I heard you met Dragon in East Blue. He didn't give you any trouble, did he?"

So that's what happened...

"No, Senior Dragon is easy to talk to."

"That's good, that's good. Let's go. That old guy Sengoku is still waiting for you."

Fleet Admiral's Office.

 Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr gathered in a circle, listening as Lynch recounted his year-long sea experiences.

"Ahem... ahem!"

As Sengoku listened, his eyes widened, and he suddenly choked on the senbei in his mouth, coughing.

Garp squinted at him, as if to say, 'When will you become as mature as me?'

"You said you accidentally ate Mythical Zoan fruit when eating fruit!" Sengoku was shocked.

That was Mythical Zoan fruit. He was the only one who ate Mythical Zoan fruit in the entire Marine, so he understood how valuable it was.

He almost died for the Golden Buddha Fruit, but this kid managed to pick one up for free.

Sengoku couldn't help but envy his luck.

"Lynch, don't mind Sengoku, keep going," Zephyr urged, clearly enjoying the story.

"After that, I came across a Supreme sharp sword by chance, and then..."

"Wait!" Lynch was interrupted again by Sengoku.

He accidentally pulled off a handful of his beard and said in shock: "You said you got a supremely sharp sword in that little place in East Blue?"

Sengoku's whole body was numb.

The ultimate sharp sword? Even the huge Marines doesn't even have one.

This kid is lucky, he got one casually.

Still in that little shitty place in East Blue.

"Um, do you have a problem, Fleet Admiral?"

It's a pretty big problem, actually!

Sengoku pretended to be mature and steady on the surface, "No problem, just keep talking."

"Alright, then I encountered an Admiral-level swordsman in East Blue. I tried recruiting him for the Marines, but unfortunately, I failed."

"But it wasn't all for nothing. He passed on his swordsmanship to me."

"Now, where do you stand in terms of strength?" Zephyr asked Lynch seriously.

His disciple's strength improved a little too fast. 

In a little over a year at sea, he got a Mythical Beast fruit, then a supremely sharp sword, and received personal guidance from a great swordsman.

They didn't suspect any bad origins behind these items. 

After all, no one willingly gives away such treasures at sea.

Lynch scratched his head and said modestly and uncertainly: "I haven't tested the limit, but I guess I can compete with Admiral, right?"

His physique and swordsmanship are both at level five.

Although hile his fruit abilities and Haki aren't as developed as those of the older generation, he shouldn't have any trouble facing an Admiral.

Even Admirals like Green Bull, who are relatively new in the future, Lynch still have a chance of victory fighting him.

When the three heard this, they gasped at the same time.

If what Lynch said is true, Admiral, who is only 20 years old, is too scary.

"How about I arrange a fight between you and Kizaru?" Sengoku suggested.

Lynch understood that Sengoku wanted to test his strength, so he agreed without hesitation.

"Okay."

Half an hour later, they met at training ground No. 7.

Kizaru yawned lazily while slowly trimming his nails with nail clippers.

"Ah, you woke me from my nap just to fight this kid?" Kizaru said with a hint of helplessness.

"Kizaru, don't underestimate him or you might regret it," Sengoku cautioned kindly.

Kizaru still didn't care.

At forty-four, he's more serious than some young men half his age; he could handle this with ease.

If it weren't for the fear of losing his year-end bonus, Kizaru wouldn't have bothered to come.

Sengoku was also serious, asking him to fight with someone so much younger.

"Hey, I'm going to move."

In order to finish typing and get off work early, Kizaru took the lead in taking action.

He turned into a stream of light, appearing instantly in front of Lynch and launching a powerful kick.

Bang!

"He actually blocked it!"

Sengoku watched in astonishment as Lynch stood firm, blocking Kizaru's kick effortlessly with just one arm.

Even though Kizaru hadn't taken it seriously, it was still shocking enough.

"oh?"

Kizaru looked at Lynch with interest, increasing the force on his legs gradually.

But Lynch remained unmoved.

"Kizaru-senpai, as a Logia user, please don't play around with me."

Lynch grinned and used both arms to push Kizaru away.

Kizaru landed firmly and put away his laziness.

He also saw that the young man in front of him was extraordinary.

No wonder Sengoku called him to fight this kid.

"Young Marine, I'll have to get serious next time. Don't get hurt."

As he spoke, a golden-lighted Ama-No-Murakumo sword appeared in Kizaru's hand.

"Here I come!"

Lynch drew Dragon Slayer, the blade burning with flames, and clashed head-on with Kizaru.

The more Kizaru fought, the more frightened he became. This young man's swordsmanship was actually not weaker than his!

In terms of swordsmanship, Kizaru was unable to defeat Lynch for a long time.

Zephyr nodded appreciatively, "Although Kizaru is not a professional swordsman, he is stronger than ordinary swordsmen due to his speed advantage."

"Lynch's swordsmanship has improved so much in just one year. It seems that what he said is true."

Every move Lynch made reflected the styles of great masters, clearly showing their influence.

What they didn't realize was how much Lynch had endured to achieve his current level of swordsmanship.

He use the triple swordsmanship training scroll when he arrived at Isshin Dojo six months ago.

Lynch woke up earlier than a donkey and slept later than a dog, practicing from before dawn until midnight.

Unable to defeat Lynch with swordsmanship, Kizaru decisively changed his moves.

Kizaru knew that he had been call here to test Lynch's strength, and since their swordsmanship was at a standstill, there was no need to continue.

"I'm going to use my Devil Fruit power. If you can't handle it, give up now. Don't push yourself," 

Kizaru kindly warned. He transformed into a beam of light and jump into the air, spreading his hands.

"Yasakani no Magatama!"

Hundreds of light bombs rained down relentlessly, dealing a devastating blow.

"Boom..."

The ground was littered with craters and dust.

Zephyr looked on anxiously towards the billowing smoke.

"Don't worry, that kid hasn't even used his fruit power yet," Garp reassured.

"Roar!"

A roar echoed, followed by a terrifying figure bursting from the smoke.

It was a seven-meter-tall monster.

His hands and crucial parts of his body were covered in dragon scales, with two coiling antlers on his forehead. 

Many sharp barbs protruded from his joints and other areas, while a burning black ring of flames hung behind him.

"By the way, what kind of Mythical beast is that kid?"

As they observed Lynch's appearance, the three old men fell into deep thought.

The characteristics of typical Mythical Beast species are quite obvious, making it clear what kind of fruit Lynch has.
