NOVEL NEXT Chapter 44: 044 Is this Success or.. ?, Marines Meeting
"No, Gion-san, you must have heard wrong." Kujaku buried her head in her chest.
"I hope so."
Gion returned to the room wiping her wet hair.
"Kujaku, you're here."
Lynch looked at the girl on the sofa, lost in thought.
Since he had promised Granny Tsuru to use his free time, why not try to help Kujaku?
"Are you willing to give up your strange hobby now?"
Lynch asked firmly, but Kujaku shook her head vigorously.
"No, don't want to."
Lynch's face darkened. He sat on the sofa, patted his lap, and said, "Come here, lie down on my lap."
"What are you doing! Ouch~"
Kujaku subconsciously took a step back, looking panicked.
"Your grandma said if you don't listen, I should teach you a lesson?"
Thinking of Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, Kujaku trembled in fear and quickly reconsidered her actions:
"I'll change, can't I? Stop slapping my butt. I can finally walk."
"Can it really be changed?"
"It can be changed!" Kujaku nodded his little head quickly.
"Pfft~"
Gion, who was leaning on the door to watch the show, laughed and said, "Lynch, don't listen to this girl. She is the best at lying. Let me help you."
"Gion-san~"
Kujaku panicked as her little scheme was exposed. She feared all her little thoughts will be seen through in front of Gion
"How are you going to help?" Lynch asked curiously.
"It's simple, just have her sincerely admit she's corrected herself," Gion said, opening her hand to release a pink mist.
"I ate the Paramecia Perfume Fruit, so I can create different kinds of parfume."
"This is the Truth Perfume. If you don't have Admiral-level willpower, you can only tell the truth."
"Gion-san, that's amazing," Lynch praised, surprised that the Perfume Fruit could be used in such a way.
"No, Gion-san!"
Seeing Gion approaching, Kujaku felt a moment of despair.
Later, Kujaku was held on Lynch's lap like a disobedient child, while Gion released a cloud of pink gas that enveloped her.
"I'll ask again, are you willing to give up your bad habits?"
"I don't want to,"
Kujaku blurted out, then immediately covered her mouth in surprise.
What happened? She had meant to say yes, but her words came out differently.
"Hmph, seems like what Gion said was right. You're not sincere at all," Lynch said, looking displeased.
After a while, Kujaku burst into tears and crouched in the corner, tears streaming down her face.
…
In this way, Lynch's vacation passed day by day.
Daily routine: eat, sleep, and slapped Kujaku.
They shared meals together as a group of four, knowing Kujaku would return home each night.
In the blink of an eye, 12 days flew by.
On this day, Kujaku hummed a cheerful tune as she bounced through the door.
Upon entering the room, she obediently climbed onto Lynch's lap.
"I'm ready," she said impatiently.
Lynch's mouth twitched. "I haven't asked yet. What are you ready for?"
"Big brother, please ask quickly." Kujaku said nonchalantly.
Lynch called Gion, and the pink gas controlled the Kujaku.
"I ask you, are you willing to give up your hobby?"
"I do."
Lynch and Gion nodded. It seemed like the girl had truly changed.
Looking at Kujaku lying anxiously on his lap, refusing to get up, Lynch had an idea and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Brother, feel free to do as you please." Kujaku's big eyes were filled with anticipation.
"It's over"
Lynch sighed, rubbing his forehead.
"This is not like Vice Admiral Tsuru's explanation."
"I don't know if the treatment is successful or not. How should I explain it to Vice Admiral..."
Say congratulations, your granddaughter's hobbies have changed?
Gion also noticed something was wrong. "Lynch, you shouldn't hit Kujaku anymore."
"Yeah, I think so too."
Lynch pushed Kujaku away, but she immediately jumped back.
"Big brother~"
Lynch: "..."
For the rest of the day, Kujaku followed Lynch like a little follower.
She refused to leave until late at night.
Lynch had never encountered such a outrageous request.
What was it about this pretty little girl...
"Rear Admiral Lynch. Fleet Admiral Sengoku requests your presence."
A Marine soldier hurried over.
"Understood, please go back."
"Yes!"
The unexpected situation may not be simple. Lynch first explained to Gion and Hina.
Just as he was about to leave, another Marine soldier rushed over.
"Rear Admiral Gion, i have found you. Fleet Admiral Sengoku asks you to come."
In the conference room.
When Lynch and Gion arrived, there were already five Vice Admirals and seven or eight Rear Admirals gathered there.
Lynch also saw Tokikake and Momonga that we had not seen for a long time.
"Those who haven't arrived yet, please wait and listen to me," Sengoku said solemnly.
"The World Government has ordered us to launch a Buster Call on Monopon Island, Grand LIne"
"The crime: Sheltering Nico Robin, the Devil's Child, and trying to uncover the legendary Blank history."
As soon as he finished speaking, Momonga immediately asked: "There's a country living on Monopon Island. Is it justified to destroy a country just because it is sheltering the Devil's child?"
Momonga's words brought out the thoughts of many people.
Before Sengoku could reply, another Vice Admiral with an unruly look scolded:
"Momonga, are you questioning the World Government's orders?"
Rudolf, a Vice Admiral loyal to the World Government and a nail in the Marines, spoke firmly.
Gion also did not give Rudolph any face, and said coldly: "Momonga is asking the Fleet Admiral, not you."
"That's enough." Sengoku stopped everyone's quarrel.
"Ten warships have docked at the port. You guys should go there quickly. Momonga is the supreme commander of this operation."
The Buster Call involves five Vice Admirals, ten Rear Admirals, tens of thousands of elite Marines, and the top ten warships.
Its power is enough to easily destroy a country!
Lynch looked thoughtful.
Marines have gone through the Third Generation.
The evolution of the Marines from Kong to Sengoku and later Sakazuki can be described as follows:
The obedient dog of the World government, the dog that is dissatisfied with the World government, the dog that talks back to the World government.
The Marine is, after all, just a dog of the World government.
All military expenses are funded by the World Government.
If Marines are even slightly dissatisfied with the world government, the military fund will be deducted or directly forced to lay off its soldiers.
As long as the World Government cuts off funding, Marines will die on their own in a short time.
Marines are not pirates, so it is impossible for Marines to commit acts of burning, killing and looting.
