Chapter 42: 042 A Commission From Vice Admiral Tsuru
"Oh well."
Kujaku pretended to give up, but she had other plans. When Lynch turned around, she lashed out with the whip. "Snap!"
Lynch caught the whip with his backhand, pulled Kujaku close with a strong tug, and sneered.
"You asked for this."
"What are you going to do?!" Kujaku, her hands now bound, felt a sudden wave of panic.
It seemed like something bad was about to happen.
"What am I doing? Of course, I'll teach you a lesson. Don't think you can do whatever you want."
Lynch pinned Kujaku to the ground and slapped her on the butt.
"Ah! It hurts!"
Kujaku screamed in pain, kicking her long legs wildly.
"Humph, it hurts, doesn't it? Maybe you'll think twice before hitting someone next time."
Lynch smiled wickedly and slapped her a dozen more times until her buttocks were completely swollen.
"Ouch~ It hurts so much!"
"Stop it, pervert!"
"Help, someone help! There's a bad guy here hurting an innocent girl!"
Kujaku cried, tears streaming down her face, ruining her makeup.
"Say you're sorry and swear to never hit anyone again, and I'll let you go," Lynch said.
"I won't! Even if you beat me to death, I won't give in to you, you big bad guy,"
Kujaku said stubbornly while crying.
True to her word, Kujaku remained stubborn despite the pain.
"Okay, this is what you said."
Bang bang bang~
Bang bang bang bang~
Lynch became even more ruthless.
For a moment, strange sounds echoed throughout the grove.
Half an hour later...
"Woooo~ I was wrong, I apologize, please don't hit me again," Kujaku sobbed.
"I'm fighting... I'm going to break if I keep fighting."
Kujaku's eyes were red and swollen as she clutched her sore, bruised butt, begging for mercy.
"Begging for mercy now? Weren't you so tough just a moment ago?" Lynch taunted, pulling her hand away and delivering another slap.
Her already overwhelmed buttocks instantly felt heartbreaking pain.
"Ah! It hurts. I've already apologized, what else do you want from me?"
"Bad guy!" Kujaku cried out in despair.
If she had known it would end up like this, she would never have provoked him.
Who is this person? Not only is he not afraid of her grandma, he also has no pity for her at all.
If he says he's going to do something, he'll do it
Kujaku thought ruefully, her buttocks throbbing painfully.
"Say you'll never use your whip to hit anyone for fun again," Lynch demanded.
"I won't! You might as well beat me to death,"
Kujaku retorted defiantly, standing firm on her hobbies.
"Good,"
Lynch laughed in anger. Today, he was determined to break Kujaku's bad habit of being defiant.
Bang bang bang~
Bang bang bang bang~
Another half hour passed like this.
Kujaku rolled his eyes, drooled and fainted.
Lynch's whole body felt bad. What kind of person was she? She would rather be knocked unconscious than give up her hobby in a perfunctory way.
It really is the depth of love, right?
Beat her to death.
He couldn't change Kujaku's habit of whipping people.
It's better to let Tsuru Vice Admiral have the headache.
"Now what should I do?"
He definitely couldn't move the Kujaku in this state, and he couldn't send it back in person, otherwise Garp would have to beat him to death.
"Boom!"
Lynch stepped on the ground hard, making a loud noise, and left quickly.
Shortly after, a pair of Marines followed the noise and rushed to the scene.
"Quick, there's an unconscious girl over there."
"She... seems to be Vice Admiral Tsuru's granddaughter."
"Go and inform Vice Admiral Tsuru!"
Lynch, who had been hiding far away, felt relieved and went home to have breakfast.
…
In a plain, white hospital ward
Kujaku was lying on the hospital bed with her butt raised, covered in bandages, feeling like crying but unable to shed tears.
It's typical for Kujaku to retreat when feeling overwhelmed.
There was nothing she could do; her buttocks hurt whenever she touched anything, so she had no choice but to lie still like this.
What made her even more desperate was the death stare from her grandmother.
Grandpa Garp was still holding his big teeth. If it weren't for Grandpa Sengoku holding him down, he would probably be laughing out loud.
Kujaku, never much of a social butterfly, wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Honestly, how did you end up like this?" Vice Admiral Tsuru asked sternly.
"I already told you, Grandma, I fell on my own."
In Kujaku's mind, Lynch's threat was still there. If she dared to sue him, he would also sue her and tell Tsuru about her hobby.
"Because you fell, your butt became like this, do you think your grandma is an old fool?"
Tsuru's face was gloomy. No one could be happy when her granddaughter looked like this.
"I heard someone mention the incident with Lynch in the cafeteria. Could it be related to him?"
"No, it has nothing to do with him!" Kujaku quickly denied.
Tsuru Vice Admiral narrowed her eyes and stopped asking.
As a Marine general staff officer, she could tell from her granddaughter's tone that she had already received the answer.
"Let's see how long it takes for Heinard to arrive. We'll have him use the Devil Fruit to heal Kujaku quickly."
"Garp, go and get Lynch."
"Grandma~" Kujaku said coquettishly, "It has nothing to do with him. Why did you ask him to come?"
Normally, Kujaku's playful manner was tolerated, but Vice Admiral Tsuru was now very angry.
Garp didn't dare to mess with her, so he went to call someone. after an hour.
With the help of Devil Fruit, the Kujaku limped to its feet.
Except for the awkward walking posture, everything looked normal.
The swelling in my butt has also gone down.
However, Lynch looked increasingly embarrassed as he looked at this scene.
Facing Vice Admiral Tsuru's death stare was something not everyone could endure.
"You old guys, get out first."
She ordered, Garp and Zephyr left obediently, and Sengoku went ahead to handle official business.
Ever since, the only people left in the room were the Kujaku, Lynch, and Vice Admiral Tsuru
"Go ahead, tell the truth."
"Grandma~"
Kujaku still tried to resist, but Lynch sighed, stood up, and recounted the whole story from beginning to end.
Of course, it's been sugar-coated.
He definitely can't admit to stealing someone else's granddaughter's black silk stockings.
It also saved some face for Kujaku, making her reluctant to report him.
After listening, Vice Admiral Tsuru remained silent for a long time.
It seemed that even with her rich experience, she needed time to process the information.
After a while, Vice Admiral Tsuru opened her eyes.
"Lynch you did a great job."
"Ah?"
Lynch, who closed his eyes and waited for being scold or even beaten, was surprised. Where did this praise come from? Could it be sarcasm?
"Grandma, what do you mean?".
Kujaku was also confused.
Why would her grandmother praise the person who had beaten her?
"But,"
Vice Admiral Tsuru changed the subject. "Just because I praise you doesn't mean I forgive you. You have to acknowledge your mistake in this matter."
"Kujaku is a child who won't change her hobby."
"So, I want to entrust Kujaku to you."
