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

Despite their similar appearances, he can still tell Kuina and Tashigi apart, even beyond their hairstyles and outfits. 

Tashigi has softer facial features, and her demeanor often gives off a more gentle, easygoing vibe, making her seem like someone easily being bullied. 

In contrast, Kuina carries herself with confidence and strength, giving the impression of a capable and assertive girl.

When he looks into their eyes, Kuina's are sharp and determined, like a torch burning with resolve. Tashigi, on the other hand, has soft and adorable eyes. 

Naturally, if he didn't know them well or hadn't observed them closely, it would be hard to tell them apart at first glance.

"Alright, alright," Lynch said with a smile, 

"It looks like you two have a lot to talk about. Let's have a hot pot party at my place tonight. You can talk as much as you want."

"Smoker, you're invited too."

[Ding!The system has detected that the loli you've develop is starting to report back. The loli development title has now upgraded to advanced level.]

"..."

Lynch couldn't be bothered with the system's nonsense. It felt more childish than ever.

...…..

Sky Island.

"Shiishishishishi! You bastard, Enel, I'm outta here. Sky Island's all yours now—don't miss me!" Moria shouted from the bow of a ship, waving goodbye to Enel, who stood on the shore of the Cloud Sea.

After years of battling and pushing each other, both had reached the peak of their strength, hitting a bottleneck.

Staying on Sky Island any longer wouldn't help him grow stronger, so Moria decided to return to the Blue Sea, waiting for the right moment to take revenge on Kaido.

"Tch, you bastard Shadow, who'd miss you? Just get out of here. You annoy me every time I see you," Enel grumbled.

Enel crossed his arms, looking away with pride. "If you really wanted me to come see you off, just say it, don't be so two-faced."

Moria smirked, but his expression quickly changed as he sensed lightning gathering in the air.

"Enel, you idiot! Don't attack, my ship can't handle it!" Moria yelled, panicking.

Moria glanced at the sailor and urged, "Get moving quickly, before this guy explodes with rage."

As the ship sailed away, Enel dispersed the gathering lightning in the sky. 

Moria's voice echoed through the clouds, "Thunder fool! We'll meet again in the Blue Sea! Oh, and tell Lynch I owe him one—I'll repay the favor!"

"Hmph," Enel snorted, turning his back to Moria. He took a couple of steps away and muttered under his breath, 

"See you later."

"Ugh, do you guys have to be so gross?" Perona, sitting at the edge of the boat in her gothic dress, swung her feet and cringed at the duo. She felt physically uncomfortable when she heard the two men flirting.

"Could it be that the boss has been on Sky Island for too long and his... orientation changed?" Perona muttered to herself, feeling uneasy.

"Shi-shi-shi-shi, Perona, this is what we call *manly friendship*. You just don't get it," Moria said with a grin, staring off into the distance with fiery determination. 

He's always been someone who deeply values his comrades, which only fueled his hatred for Kaido even more.

Perona stared at the small cake in her hand, and for some reason, her thoughts drifted to Lynch, that "big bad guy."

"Ugh! Big bad guy! The worst!" she muttered, her frustration bubbling up. 

Perona was not one to easily forget a grudge, especially not the embarrassment of being knocked out and losing one of her favorite cakes in the process.

Enel returned to the temple alone and felt lonely for no reason when he saw that there was an empty room that Moria previously stayed in.

Moria is the first and only friend he has made since childhood.

Although he didn't want to admit it, after several years of companionship, he was suddenly the only one left alone, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Enel glanced at the ark that had been built outside, and a bold idea came to his mind.

"How about... going to the place he's always wanted to visit?" Enel looked up toward the moon. 

He was determined to prove that his dream was the Vairy Feart. 

That day, he disappeared from Sky Island aboard the Ark Maxims.

...…..

At night, 

In Lynch's three-story apartment, a group gathered around a large table, enjoying hot pot and singing songs. 

Tashigi, Kuina, Smoker, Momonga, Mark, and Kujaku were all there, surrounded by good company. 

It was a lively scene, though Tom and Hina Gion's absence was felt; their presence would have made the evening perfect.

"Drink up! Don't be shy." Lynch encouraged,

"You three aren't old enough to drink yet, so focus on eating more meat!" 

He waved his hand, inviting everyone to enjoy the food and drinks.

"Great wine!" 

Momonga exclaimed as he gulp a glass in one go. His face turned red, and after a long sigh of relief, he felt all his fatigue fade away. 

Smoker entertained everyone with a show about cigarettes and alcohol, drinking more with each passing moment. White smoke swirled around his wine glass, making it seem like the drink had been spiked.

"Thank you, sir, for the wine." 

Mark felt like he was in a dream as he joined the adults' family dinner; it all seemed unreal. 

Lynch glanced at him and said, "No need to be polite," before lifting his glass of hot wine to take a drink.

"It's unfair! Why can't I drink? It looks so good!" 

Tashigi exclaimed, looking the wine glass in Lynch's hand, her mouth watering. The food on her chopsticks suddenly lost its appeal and seemed too cute to eat.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere between Kujaku and Kuina was tense. 

They exchanged glances that suggested a confrontation was brewing—if Tashigi weren't there to act as a buffer, it might have escalated into a fight.

"This woman is a threat!"

"She's here to steal my big brother from me!"

Both Kuina and Kujaku decided to confront the situation together.

"Brother, can you come out with me for a moment?"

Just after two glasses of wine, Lynch heard someone calling him, and it turned out to be Kujaku.

"Come out? Can't you say it here?" 

"Oh, big brother, just come with me~" Kujaku replied, standing up and playfully taking Lynch's hand. 

"Sorry, everyone, excuse me." 

Lynch was gently pulled by Kujaku as they returned to his room, and she closed the door behind them.

"Now that it's just the two of us, what do you want to do?" 

Once inside the room, Kujaku suddenly felt shy, her small hands nervously fidgeting in front of her.
