NOVEL WEB Chapter 129: 129 Immortal Swordsman: Tom
Tom stared blankly at Hawkeye as he walked away, scratching his head with his big eyes full of innocence.
Why did the fight suddenly stop?
Did this mean Tom won?
He was an idealistic cat, after all.
The first few times Hawkeye dismembered Tom, it was extremely painful. But eventually, Tom realized it didn't hurt anymore.
In fact, he even found it a bit amusing to be cut apart.
"Master Cat, you have been recognized by the world's greatest swordsman!"
The mouse trembled with excitement, "Hawkeye personally gave you the title of Immortal Swordsman! Every swordsman in the world will envy you."
With this title from Hawkeye, Tom had made a name for himself on the seas.
With such a reputation, joining a powerful group could easily secure him a high-ranking position.
As long as he thought about it and raised his arms, he could attract a group of supporters.
This is the benefit of fame.
Tom didn't think about this. Anyway, he didn't have any ambitions. His biggest dream was simply to have an owner who wouldn't abandon him and a warm home to call his own.
Thinking of Lynch, Tom Cat felt a deep sense of homesickness.
After spending several years at sea and achieving his goals, he realized it was time to go back.
Tom preferred being a house cat to a swordsman. In this moment of clarity, he decided to return home right away.
Meanwhile, Monet remained in shock, there was a cat that even Hawkeye couldn't kill.
Monet suddenly had a sinking feeling that this undercover mission might end badly.
They say pets resemble their owners, and from Tom Cat, she sensed something unusual about Lynch.
This mission felt like a trap, and she worried she might end up like a sheep caught in a tiger's jaws.
Doubts filled her mind, leaving her in deep hesitation.
Should she ask the young master to end this mission?
No, she couldn't betray his trust!
...…
Marine Headquarters.
Lynch lay in his backyard, flipping through the day's magazines.
Kujaku, in a bikini, was half-reclining on his lap, enjoying the sun.
Her blue and white swimsuit covered her modestly, as she was still young and not as revealing as Hina and the others.
However, a swimsuit is still a swimsuit, except for three points, the rest of the body is exposed.
Kujaku had a flat belly, smooth, fair skin, and elegant thighs.
If she were on the beach, she would definitely attract a lot of attention.
The warmth of the sun felt pleasant. Kujaku hummed a folk song, her green-and-white legs swaying and playfully tapping against her developing curves.
Suddenly, her movements caused her hips to shake.
"Be still; you're distracting me from reading the newspaper"
Lynch wasn't gentle; he gave Kujaku a firm slap, causing her delicate body to tremble and instantly become obedient.
Nearby, Kuina and Tashigi practiced their swordsmanship in the sunshine, both wearing bikinis and humming happily.
Sweet beads of sweat glistened on their skin as they swung their swords, causing their chests to bounce with each movement.
Lynch put down the newspaper, taking in the beautiful scenery with a slight smile.
After tomorrow, Kuina will be 16 years old.
It felt like just yesterday she was a small child, barely half a person tall.
Now, all three girls were growing up quickly, changing almost every day.
Even little Tashigi had developed.
The softness of Lynch's palms beneath Kujaku brought his thoughts back to the previous night.
Vice Admiral Tsuru comes to visit late at night, it's really a bit scary~
"Lynch, I have a heartfelt request. When Kujaku comes of age, I hope you can marry her."
Vice Admiral Tsuru's first words shocked him. Seeing his stunned expression, she thought he might be unwilling and adopted a stern tone.
"Why? My granddaughter is pretty and talented. Isn't she worthy of you?"
"Besides, her current hobbies have also changed because of you. She doesn't hit others for no reason anymore."
Lynch shook his head.
"Kujaku is our Marine's military beauty. I'm lucky she even noticed me."
"I'm glad you think so,"
Vice Admiral Tsuru replied. Lynch was still curious about why she brought this up so late at night.
"I already have three wives at home; how could you..."
It's only natural for someone to hesitate about marrying their granddaughter to someone who already has a wife.
Vice Admiral Tsuru scoffed, "I only have one granddaughter. If I don't look out for her, who will?"
After saying this, Vice Admiral Tsuru left.
Lynch understood now; it was Kujaku's constant pleading that had convinced Vice Admiral Tsuru.
When he later asked Kujaku how long she had been pleading about it to her, she smiled and replied that it had only been a year.
By the way, there was also the death threat from Vice Admiral Tsuru before she left.
"If you dare to take action before Kujaku reaches adulthood, I will join forces with Garp Sengoku and Zephyr to come and have a talk with you..."
Vice Admiral Tsuru is a good grandma, but her worries are unnecessary.
Lynch likes girls, but doesn't like underage girls. Girls who are full-grown are the most attractive.
But for now, Kujaku is still growing, and he hasn't quite reached that stage yet.
After thinking about this, Lynch became very thirsty and wanted to ask Tom to make some shaved ice for him.
Then he suddenly remembered that Tom had been at sea for several years.
"Isn't he going somewhere hanging out with that she-cat?"
[Ding! Your pet Tom has been recognized by Hawkeye, and rewards are being distributed...]
[Ding! Reward issued successfully.]
[Reward: Tom Cat Hawkeye Template (half-hour experience card).]
"Hiss~"
Lynch was stunned. It seemed that Tom really wanted to challenge Hawkeye.
The most important thing is that the challenge was actually successful!
He has to keep this Hawkeye experience card, it is a big killer at critical moments.
The strength of the world's greatest swordsman must be at the Admiral level; otherwise, being number one would be nearly impossible.
"Admiral Sun Candle, are you home? The Fleet Admiral is looking for you!" someone shouted from the front door.
"You all play for now; I'll be right back."
After changing clothes, Lynch went to meet Sengoku.
"Fleet Admiral."
"Yes, Lynch, you're here."
Sengoku, known for his wisdom, rarely shows irritation, but he did now.
He crossed the desk to approach Lynch.
"There are reckless pirates attacking the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago. I need you to go there."
"Really, there are actually two idiot pirates who dare to attack the Celestial Dragons in the Sabaody Archipelago."
The Sabaody Archipelago is so close that it's like the Celestial Dragons' backyard.
Attacking them there is simply asking for death.
"The pirates this time are a bit powerful. The local Marines can't suppress them. You should leave as soon as possible."
"Where is Kizaru?"
Lynch sensed something was wrong. Kizaru was the fastest among the Admirals, so he was the one who usually did the rescue work.
"Sigh, Kizaru, he went to save another Celestial Dragons."
Sengoku was extremely worried, wasting Marine's best combat power day by day to save those losers.
Lynch frowned deeper, feeling something was wrong.
It was too coincidental that two Celestial Dragons were attacked at the same time.
"There are no coincidences in the world. If there are, they are definitely man-made!"
Lynch thought.
