NOVEL NEXT Chapter 41: 041 Talking Tom, Kujaku Again
"What's strange about that? There are many animals in this world that can talk, like deer, dogs and even fish."
Tom breathed a sigh of relief and wrote again in the notebook: That's good.
"By the way, now that you can speak, you should stop using the notebook and just talk directly."
Tom shook his head and wrote: I can talk, but it hurts. Tom doesn't like to talk.
"Okay, then don't speak."
"I'll give you a task: clean the room, and you'll get a box of dried fish as a reward." Tom was shocked and instantly transformed, sprouting six hands.
Two hands swept the floor, two mopped, and two held rags, cleaning rapidly. It was a scene straight out of an anime.
Lynch quietly opened the door to Momousagi's room.
Compared to the living room, it was much cleaner and looked almost the same as usual.
"Momousagi-san's sleeping posture is so enchanting,"
Lynch thought as he gazed at her raised hips and long white legs.
He carefully closed the door and looked at Hina again, making sure that there was no problem with the two of them before walking out of the door.
At the Marine canteen,
"Oba-san, I'd like three breakfasts to go," Lynch said.
"Okay, young man, just a moment," she replied.
While Lynch was waiting for his meal, he suddenly felt a small hand pat his shoulder.
Turning around, he saw Kujaku!
"Excuse me, is something wrong?"
Lynch asked, feeling a bit panicked.
He had just knocked someone out and taken their black stockings yesterday.
Seeing Kujaku now made him nervous.
It won't be discovered, will it?
Impossible! Yesterday, he had changed his appearance and voice completely.
Kujaku said nothing, just stared at Lynch.
"It's over. I used too much force yesterday and knocked a girl unconscious," Lynch admitted, feeling guilty.
After a long silence, Kujaku spoke slowly, "I think we need to talk."
"What do we need to talk about? Should we talk about it here?" Lynch secretly thought that something was wrong. He might have been discovered.
"Are you sure?" Kujaku's cute big eyes blinked.
"According to the laws of our military, attacking Marine's family members will result in a prison sentence of not less than one year but not more than ten years. Brother, do you want to go to jail?"
"You did that to someone else yesterday..."
"Enough!" Lynch interrupted, covering Kujaku's mouth and breaking into a cold sweat.
He was now certain that the girl had indeed discovered the truth.
"Ugh~ Big brother, why are you being mean to others? Even if you did that to someone else, they won't hold you accountable."
Kujaku wriggled free from Lynch's grasp and whispered.
Pairs of upright and serious eyes around them turned to look.
The cafeteria lady silently set down her rice spoon.
"Enough!"
Lynch couldn't stand the looks from the people around him, nor could he stand the girl's harsh remarks, so he dragged her out of the cafeteria.
After the two left, there were whispers in the cafeteria.
"Wasn't that cute girl Vice Admiral Tsuru's granddaughter?"
"That man seems to be Lynch Rear Admiral, who has been in the limelight recently."
"Hiss~ This gossip is so exciting."
"What I'm more looking forward to is whether Vice Admiral Tsuru knows about it."
Lynch dragged Kujaku to a secluded corner of the woods and asked with a headache, "How did you find me?"
"Hehe, big brother, your disguise skills using Life Return is no use to me"
Kujaku stood on tiptoes, leaned forward, and pointed proudly at her nose.
"According to research, my sense of smell is 15 times stronger than humans'. I remember your scent."
"A dog's nose?"
"You have a dog's nose!" Kujaku said in a charming voice.
"Tell me your purpose."
The person who came to see her today was a Kujaku, not a Tsuru. Vice Admiral Tsuru proved that she had not complained yet.
In this situation, she must have higher expectations.
But her attempt to threaten Lynch was simply overthinking.
Lynch will let this little girl know what regret is.
"Ah, brother, have you figured it out yet?"
Kujaku's sweet smile suddenly turned eerie, and hearts practically popped out of her eyes.
"It's simple. Only my big brother is willing to play with me."
Devil Fruit - Paramecia - Whip Fruit User!
Lynch: "?"
How could he have forgotten that this Kujaku and Sadi-chan from Impel Down were a pair of troublemakers?
"You're not trying to hit me with your Devil Fruit ability, are you?" Lynch's eyes twitched.
"Yes, you won't refuse, right?" The love in the Kujaku's eyes turned pink.
"Well."
Lynch reached out and gently held Kujaku's head. "Little sister, you need to understand that I only took your stockings and gave you two pairs in return."
"Even if you go out and scream, nothing will happen to me."
"Okay, I'll go tell Grandma Tsuru right away."
Kujaku reverted the weapon she had transformed with her Whip Devil Fruit, then turned and walked away.
"Wait!"
Lynch grabbed Kujaku, realizing it would be a disaster if Vice Admiral Tsuru found out.
Tsuru's wrath might bring severe punishment from Sengoku, Garp, and Zephyr.
He didn't want to end up hung out to dry by Vice Admiral Tsuru Washing Fruit for days.
"Snapped!"
Kujaku was caught, suddenly came to her senses, and whipped Lynch on the arm with the ability to whip the fruit.
The strength was so great that his clothes instantly shattered, but Lynch's body didn't even turn red.
"Big brother, you're so strong~"
"Is this just shaking your whip?"
It was the first time Kujaku had seen someone unaffected by her whipping, and Lynch couldn't help but chuckle.
If she hadn't been the granddaughter of Tsuru Vice Admiral, she would have been pushed to the ground and beaten violently.
Just when Lynch was thinking about what to do, Kujaku used Devil Fruit's ability again...
Lynch grabbed Kujaku with one hand and held on tight, despite her attempting another attack. The pain was negligible, more like being buzzed by a mosquito.
However, his clothes were completely ruined.
"You've got quite the strong body~"
Kujaku gazed at Lynch with affection, and for some reason, she felt herself falling for him.
Seeing her like this, Lynch worried she might faint from excitement.
How could Vice Admiral Tsuru have such a wonderful granddaughter?
The attack came again, but this time Lynch caught her.
"You bullied me! I'm going to tell Grandma Tsuru!"
Kujaku huffed, looking at Lynch with displeasure.
Lynch sneered twice, "Now we each have an advantage over the other."
"If you dare to snitch, I will tell Tsuru Vice Admiral what happened today. I don't believe He Vice Admiral Tsuru let you do this."
Kujaku's expression froze.
"Please, big brother~"
Seeing that force was not enough, Kujaku immediately changed his strategy and began to plead charmingly.
"No. Go back quickly, I don't have time to play these boring tricks with you."
