NOVEL WEB Chapter 99: 099 Lottery, Soul Of Admiral
After Tsunade stormed off, Lynch chuckled to himself, still amused by the unexpected turn of events. Despite the bumps on his head, he felt like he had come out ahead.
With a grin, he decided it was time to continue the draw.
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item - Cursed Emerald.]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item - Hymn of the Black Emperor.]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item - Zoan Ancient Devil Fruit Model: Triceratops Fruit.]
…
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item - Lord Im's Fat Suit.]
[Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the item - Lord Im's Black Stockings.]
"???"
Lynch stared at the fat suit and black stockings that appeared out of thin air in his hands, questioning his life choices.
"System, as expected of you."
Was this really the same Im-sama who commanded the Five Elders?
Lynch took a sniff and found the stockings surprisingly pleasant, no smell at all—definitely a good review.
But why was there a lot of hair on the fat suit? Could Im-sama be a... white tiger?
Lynch felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.
"I'm better put this away,"
Lynch thought. After all, these were personal items worn by the ruler of the world. If these were to be auctioned at the Sabaody Archipelago, the starting price would be 30 billion beli.
Well, maybe that's a stretch, but still.
Lynch carefully stashed the two items, and not because he had any particular interest in them—definitely not.
If Im found out that these were missing, especially through a certain Devil Fruit, it wouldn't end well.
[Item: Cursed Emerald – It brings unimaginable misfortune to its holder, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to resist its temptation. Host is immune.]
Overall, this draw was worth it.
As soon as Lynch saw the cursed emerald, a plan to unify the West Blue began to form in his mind.
[Item: The Black Emperor's Hymn – A one-time item that summons the "Black Emperor's Undead Army" from hell to assist.]
[Item: Zoan • Ancient Species • Triceratops Fruit – Consuming it greatly enhances physical strength, allows three stages of transformation, and lets the user transform into a six-ton triceratops.]
Each item has its uses, and Lynch looked forward to seeing their effects.
After calculating the remaining faith points, Lynch felt confident.
"System, draw ninety times from the gold lottery pool."
[Ding! 900,000 faith points deducted. Drawing...]
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the item - Soul of Admiral.]
…
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a random title.]
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the Five-Dimensional Fruit.]
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the Devouring Gene.]
[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained 10 Beauty Pills.]
…
From ninety draws, Lynch selected the five best items.
Not to mention anything else, the Admiral Soul alone is worth 900,000 faith points.
[The Soul of Admiral: This item contains the lifelong inheritance of the first female Admiral in the One Piece world. It grants her Haki, swordsmanship, taijutsu, fighting skills, and physical fitness upon fusion.]
[Note 1: Only women can use it.]
[Note 2: Fusion takes time. The user will fall into a deep sleep during this period, and the process can last from one to five years, depending on compatibility with the female Admiral.]
Spending nine hundred thousand points for an Admiral-level master seems like a great deal!
However, the catch is that using it will cause a deep sleep lasting from one to five years, during which the user cannot wake up until the fusion is complete. This makes Lynch hesitant.
Given the conditions, even if Lynch could use it, he wouldn't.
After five years of sleep, who knows what the world will be like? Kaido might even come by and steal his coffin while he's out.
Choosing who should use it is also a problem. Although Lynch prefers Gion, he doesn't want to force his will on his wife.
Not everyone would be willing to spend several years in sleep. So, Lynch decided to ask for their opinions and instructed the guards to bring them over.
If the fusion is successful, the candidate will become an Admiral.
The person must be someone close to Lynch, not someone like Tsunade, who isn't from the pirate world and would take the full five years to integrate.
Soon, Hina, Robin, and Gion were called to the room.
Hearing Lynch's words, the three of them were shocked that there was such a powerful thing, and at the same time, they fell into entanglement and hesitation.
Five years is a long time, and they needed to prepare for the worst-case scenario.
They didn't want to wake up after five years to find their parents aging, themselves growing older, their partners becoming strangers, and the world changing.
For them, these five years were a critical time of prosperity.
They didn't know that Lynch had already drawn the Beauty Pills and that the Life Span Fruit, which could extend life by one year, had appeared multiple times in the Life Selection System's store.
Most of their worries were unnecessary.
"I'll do it, husband~"
Gathering up the courage, Gion took the lead and stood up, "I can feel that my strength has reached a bottleneck. If there are no great opportunities, I will only have the strength of an elite Vice Admiral in my life."
"Are you sure, Gion? Have you thought about what you'll be facing?"
Lynch asked repeatedly, knowing the integration would mean being out of action for a few years.
"I'm sure!" Gion's eyes became firm. For her husband, she must become stronger.
"Okay, take this first." Lynch handed her a fragrant white wax pill from a small bottle. "Robin, Hina, you both take one too."
The three women didn't hesitate. Each took a beauty pill and swallowed it. Lynch also took one for himself.
From now on, their appearances would remain as they were at this moment.
"It's so sweet and tastes like honey. What did you give us to eat, husband?" Hina licked her lips, still wanting more.
"The Beauty Pill will keep our appearances ageless and our skin as smooth as it is now," Lynch explained.
"Wow! Long live my husband, Mu~"
The three women's eyes brightened when they heard that they could keep their appearance forever, and they excitedly kissed the lipstick marks all over Lynch's face.
The attraction of immortality to women is no less than being the king of the world.
What makes Lynch even more gratified is that they have no doubts about his words.
Although immortality is unheard of in this world, they truly believed in the agelessness he promised.
"Gion, are you ready?"
The three women stifled their excitement and smiles as Gion answered solemnly, "Let's begin."
"Good."
Lynch took out a white sphere of light and brought it close to Gion's body.
[Ding! Do you wish to use the Admiral Soul on Gion?]
"Use!"
The ball of light slowly sank into Gion's body, surrounding her with a glowing halo.
"Husband, i'll see you in a year,"
Gion said with a smile, reassuring Lynch. Then, she felt sleepy, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep slumber.
Lynch gently placed the unconscious Gion on the bed and said, "Bring me a crystal coffin. I'll stay with Gion for the day."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
…
After a while, Lynch looked at Gion's delicate face and rosy cheeks in the crystal coffin and felt an odd sensation.
It was like a fairy tale—Sleeping Beauty.
The crystal coffin was placed next to Lynch's bed.
