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

At the seventh training ground, before Lynch and his two companions even got close, they heard the loud commotion coming from inside.

They listened in. 

"Wow, Vice Admiral Tokikake is here to train again! He only slept two hours yesterday. Is he trying to push himself to the limit?"

"Hey, ever since Vice Admiral Gion got married, Vice Admiral Tokikake seems like a different person. He doesn't care about his health anymore."

"That's not all. I heard he talks to himself every night, like he's losing it."

"Didn't you see him take down those pirates? It was terrifying—he looked like a madman."

"Have you heard? Vice Admiral Tokikake's new breathing technique is almost finished. Once it's mastered, his swordsmanship will have devastating power."

"Did he give it a name yet?"

"I think I heard Vice Admiral call it the Missing Rabbit Breathing Method?"

"Oh, poor guy."

Everyone looked at Tokikake with pity. 

Who at headquarters didn't know that Tokikake was a hopeless romantic? Even though Gion hardly pays attention to him, he's still so devoted to her.

"Tsk, tsk, he deserves it. Dog lickers should be ranked lower than the dogs—they bring it on themselves."

"So pathetic. Looking like that, he actually dared to compete with Admiral Sun Candle for a woman? No self-awareness at all."

"I'm not exaggerating, but with my looks combined with Admiral Sun Candle, we could shake up the entire Marines Headquarters!"

Everyone whispered quietly among themselves.

"Could you open the door, please?" Lynch's gentle voice came from behind.

"Adm... Admiral Sun Candle!" 

Those who realized quickly snapped to attention, saluting with respect as they cleared a path. "Please, go ahead."

"Thanks."

"Admiral Lynch!"

"Admiral Sun Candle!" 

With Lynch's arrival, everyone immediately fell silent, too afraid to continue their conversation. 

To them, an Admiral was someone far beyond their reach.

Lynch walked through the crowd and reached the front, where he saw Vice Admiral Tokikake in the middle of a sparring match with another Vice Admiral.

Sword light flashed in all directions, and energy from the blades shot through the air.

Lynch gently patted Kuina and Tashigi on their heads. "Watch closely and learn. It's rare to see Vice Admirals sparring."

Kuina, a sword fanatic, was already captivated by the duel, so much so that she didn't even notice Lynch's touch.

"So this is the real world of the strong…" 

Tashigi's eyes were fixed on the swords they wielded. She opened the sword atlas she brought and realized they were both wielding famous blades! 

If only she could touch one.

In the arena, Tokikake was locked in a fierce battle with the other Vice Admiral.

Suddenly, Tokikake sneered, "You haven't made much progress lately."

He quietly activated the Missing Rabbit Breathing Method he had developed. As a rush of air flowed through his nasal cavity to speed up blood circulation, his nose gradually turned redder.

Tokikake's nose turned red, much like Buggy the Clown. 

At the same time, his sword strikes grew faster, and the green glow of his blade even tinted his hair green. 

The other Vice Admiral struggled, retreating under the relentless assault. By the seventieth move, his sword was knocked clean out of his hand.

"I lost." The Vice Admiral shrugged as he picked up his sword; losing to Tokikake didn't bother him.

In their training sessions, Tokikake and Gion consistently ranked first and second, showing their strong potential. 

After the intense duel, Tokikake noticed Lynch and turned away expressionlessly

"This guy," Lynch chuckled, shaking his head. 

He hadn't seen Tokikake in a long time, and unlike the villains in stories, Tokikake had never come to bother him.

Since their first meeting, Tokikake had never spoken to Lynch again. As long as the other person wasn't crazy, Lynch didn't see the need to engage.

On the training ground, Lynch began teaching the two girls how to use a sword. 

"Mr. Lynch, can I see your supreme sword?" Tashigi asked eagerly, always wanting to take a look at Demon Sword in Lynch waist.

"Be obedient and don't search for trouble."

…..

On the other side, Hawkeye returned to the island on the coffin boat, looking at the scene in front of him with a slightly condensed expression.

What happened while he was gone? 

Who came to the island and defeated his pet?

At the edge of the forest, he found hundreds of unconscious gorillas, all with stars in their eyes.

This group of gorillas isn't ordinary; they are a type of creature called human imitators, and they are quite strong. 

To defeat them, one would need to be at least a skilled swordsman. 

With the keen eyesight of the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye quickly recognized that the injuries were caused by a sword.

"They didn't kill these Gorillas after defeating them, so it seems there was no malicious intent," 

"The island hasn't been destroyed. Are they here to challenge my swordsmanship?"

Through clues, Hawkeye quickly deduced everything.

"Chi chi chi ~ chi chi!"

Just then, an orangutan woke up from its coma, hugged Hawkeye's leg, and cried out, pointing in a direction as if trying to complain.

"I understand. You should get some rest," 

With his hawk-like eyes narrowed, he walked toward his castle. 

Meanwhile, the beasts roasting marshmallows in front of the castle were unaware of the danger approaching them.

"Master Cat is so powerful! You've defeated all those strong orangutans!" the mouse said, flattering Tom. 

After watching Tom defeat the group of orangutans, the mouse's confidence in him was sky high. 

Suddenly, he felt that Hawkeye was nothing compared to Mr. Cat.

"Hoho~" 

The two bears ate the honey and nodded, clearly agreeing with the mouse. 

Only Monet looked down, absentmindedly staring at the marshmallow in her hand. 

She had come to understand the power of Shichibukai through her young master. 

If Tom got into trouble, would she be strong enough to save him, or would she just run away?

Suddenly, Tom stood up and looked toward the forest. 

Hawkeye was walking out of the bushes. "A found you, few little bugs" 

"Meow meow meow~" Tom spoke to the mouse, who acted as his interpreter

"Ahem. Our cat master said he's going to challenge you. If you're scared, kneel and admit defeat!" the mouse shouted in a mocking tone. 

Tom Cat raised an eyebrow in confusion. 

He only wanted to challenge Hawkeye—why was the mouse adding all this drama? But it didn't matter; they were going to fight anyway.

"Haha. Are you the one challenging me, kitty?" Hawkeye was very interested. 

This was the first time he had accepted a challenge from an animal swordsman. 

He slowly removed the knife from his necklace, holding it between his fingers. "I don't have a smaller knife than this," he said in a smooth, magnetic voice.

"Whoosh!" 

Tom Cat leaped into the air and swung several meter-long slashes. 

"Too weak, kitty! Use all your strength," Hawkeye said, effortlessly countering with his knife, which was only as long as his index finger.

Tom Cat took a deep breath from his cigarette and exhaled the smoke. 

"Nine mountains and eight seas, the vast world of cats!" 

With a gleam in his eye, he tightened his grip on the long sword. 

Suddenly, he pressed his body to its limits and turned into a bolt of lightning, disappearing from sight.
