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

"Boom~" 

This fierce battle with the Four Emperors was a stark contrast to Lynch's fight with Kaido years ago when he had just reached Admiral strength. 

Back then, he could only retreat against the veteran Four Emperors and ultimately lost after a long, intense battle. 

But now, it appears he is on par with Big Mom and even has the potential to overpower her.

This momentum could turn into a crucial opportunity to defeat Big Mom in half a day or maybe a day or two. 

"Well, well, this kid is growing quickly!" 

The Napoleon sword and the Demon Cutter Sword clashed in mid-air, neither backing down. Big Mom's face was lit up by the lightning, giving her an eerie appearance.

Now, Big Mom has stopped calling Lynch "son-in-law" and instead refers to him as "little devil." Her quick change of attitude would put Whitebeard to shame. 

"Just Four Emperors, nothing more." 

When the two clashed, the force created a powerful wave of air that nearly caused a tornado in the area. Many pirates were struck by the strong wind, slamming against the walls and coughing up blood.

Lynch roared and transformed into a nine-meter-tall half-animal form. Both his strength and speed increased dramatically.

Using both arms at the same time, the two long swords pushed back the emperor's sword bit by bit.

Lynch stood over Big Mom, forcing her to lean backward. 

A flicker of uncertainty crossed Big Mom's face. Could a person truly possess such terrifying power?

"Dragon Slayer Sword!"

Suddenly, Lynch called in a low voice, and Dragon Slayer Sword suddenly transformed into a small dark green dragon. 

Taking advantage of the stalemate between the Demon Cutter Sword and the Napoleon Emperor Sword, the dragon rushed into the Big Mom's arms with a whoosh, and took out the Earth Fruit.

"Haha, great job!" 

Lynch exclaimed as he used all his strength to deflect Big Mom's Emperor Sword and quickly retreated. 

He had accomplished both of his goals for the day and saw no need to continue the standoff with Big Mom. 

After all, she wasn't the only Four Emperor present.

Lynch reminded himself not to forget about the other four powerful pirates. He and Big Mom were the only ones who could benefit from each other in this situation. 

Given his status as an Admiral, he needed to be especially cautious in this environment filled with pirates. 

If he got a chance to defeat Big Mom, Kaido and Whitebeard would undoubtedly come to her aid to maintain the balance of power. 

After the recent battle, Lynch realized that his current strength was top-notch, even among Admirals.

Defeating one of the Four Emperors alone is no problem.

So what if Big Mom still has a lot of methods that she hasn't used yet? Why isn't he the same?

Now that the fruits of soil have been obtained, he needed to stay steady and adaptable to any changes.

"Woooooo~"

The Dragon Slayer Sword flew back to Lynch, nudged his arm with its head, and dropped the Earth Fruit into his hand before transforming back into sword form.

"Did that sharp sword just eat a Zoan mythical beast's fruit?!" 

Whitebeard, who was watching the battle, sighed. 

How rich must someone be to feed a weapon a mythical beast's Devil Fruit? 

What surprised him even more was that this young man was incredibly strong, rivaling even his own power. 

Whitebeard's hands itched with the desire to fight him. If it weren't for the current situation, he would have jumped at the chance to battle.

"Little devil, give me back my Devil Fruit!" 

Big Mom brushed off her earlier loss to Lynch, viewing it as a minor setback. 

She recognized his talent but believed he had just gotten lucky. 

Determined to show her true strength, she raised her hand, summoning large thunderclouds in the sky. 

Countless snake-like lightning bolts struck the ground, leaving behind deep black craters.

Big Mom, who has eat the Soul Soul Fruit, can control not only souls but also thunder, lightning, and fire. One Soul Soul Fruit is stronger than three other fruits combined. 

"Save your energy! Instead of trying to take it from me, you should compete with Silver Axe," Lynch said. 

A circle of black flames appeared behind him, and in an instant, he flew out of the cave, looking down at the scene below.

Even though Big Mom can fly, she relies on external forces, making her speed much slower than Lynch's. 

Her long-range attacks aren't very effective against him, and he can easily avoid them. 

Big Mom wouldn't risk using her most powerful area attacks, as it could bury her under a cave of pirates. 

As long as Whitebeard doesn't intervene, Big Mom has almost no chance of taking the Earth Fruit from Lynch.

If only he and Big Mom were present, a battle might be worthwhile. However, with so many powerful people around, it was wiser to avoid conflict and maintain their status. 

"Damn you, brat!" Big Mom shouted in frustration, unable to do anything to Lynch for the moment. 

After thinking for a moment, Whitebeard decided to abandon the fight for the Earth Fruit and instead joined the battle for the pendant.

This made Lynch relieved. If both Big Mom and Whitebeard had teamed up against him, he would have had to retreat. 

Now, while dodging Big Mom's attacks, he could watch the battle for the pendant.

"Raimee Hakke!" Kaido shouted, unleashing his full power. 

The purple lightning crackling around his mace indicated that he was using Conqueror's Haki.

As Kaido swung his mace, the air around it exploded in a series of sonic booms before impact. It felt as if time had stopped, as if even God would have to retreat from this blow. 

Silver Axe roared and managed to block Ochoku's attack, but in an instant, Kaido's strike landed squarely on his chest, delivering a powerful blow. 

"Pfft~" he gasped, realizing this was likely the most serious injury he had suffered in the past ten years.

Silver Axe flew backward, blood spraying from his mouth as he went. 

His armor shattered into countless pieces, and he felt an unbearable pain in his chest from multiple broken bones. His internal organs vibrated violently, as if on the verge of breaking. 

He crashed heavily into the ground, causing a massive tremor that led to several hundred-meter-high gold mountains collapsing, crushing many pirates beneath the weight of the gold. 

Since entering the cave, he had been under constant attack, and after taking Kaido's full-force blow, his vision wavered between blurry and clear. A severe concussion left his head reeling.

He pushed himself up and spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground. Silver Axe was at his breaking point. 

"Why? Why has everyone been targeting me since I arrived?" 

"Ever since I stole the Earth Fruit, three of them have come after me. Then, while two were after the pendant, one was still focused on me."

In his current state, Silver Axe wasn't seriously injured, but he was seriously hurt and had lost the chance to continue fighting for the treasure. 

Did they really think he was easy to bully? 

"I'm not going down without a fight! Don't expect an easy win from me!" 

Silver Axe shouted at Whitebeard and the others.

"Go and grab the pendant! It has the coordinates of one of the holy places of the Celestial Dragons!" 

Silver Axe managed to say before coughing up another mouthful of blood, his strength fading quickly. 

His words held weight; Kaido, Whitebeard, Big Mom, and Lynch all turned their attention to the pendant.
