LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 77: 077 Change of history?
"Hahaha, that kind of level is not considered a top expert, it's just barely enough to make it onto the stage of history."
Lynch said, shaking his head and laughing after overhearing their conversation.
"What did you say?"
The second prince turned and asked with a smirk. "Are you kidding? They're cadres of the Four Emperors' crew, and you think you're qualified to judge them?"
The third prince was very angry. The human beings in front of him were not very powerful, but they could brag.
Fukaboshi couldn't help but taunt, "So, you think you're really good at fighting?"
He also wanted to let go of his prejudice against Lynch because he saved his father's life. Who would have thought that this guy had such a big tone.
"I wouldn't say I'm very strong, but beating these guys is relatively easy," Lynch said modestly.
"Hmph, so arrogant!"
The second prince was fuming and chose to ignore Lynch.
Fukaboshi rolled his eyes and said, "If you're so powerful, why are you just standing here? Go down and beat them all."
The third prince even said, "If you are half as good as them, I will eat shit on the spot."
Ignoring the third prince's challenge, Lynch laughed and said, "I'd like to join the fight, but I need to protect you."
"Tch, just bragging," the prince muttered.
"Don't be rude to your benefactor"
Neptune looked away, and slapped one of his sons, silencing everyone with their shock.
"It doesn't look good. I remember that the Whitebeard Pirates eventually took Fish-Man Island. Am I mistaken?" Lynch said, eyeing the distant battlefield with suspicion.
"Butter Heat Wave!"
"Fire Slash!"
While the others remained in a stalemate, the siblings Raisin and Garrett quickly defeated the Seventh Division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. "These two are much stronger than when I last saw them"
Lynch remembered the last time he met the siblings in East Blue.
If Katakuri hadn't arrived in time, they'd probably still be in Impel Down.
Since their defeat at the hands of Lynch that day, the two siblings have been often dragged to devil training by Katakuri, who loves his family.
Thinking back on it, they still have lingering fears.
It turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as their strength improved significantly.
Once there was a winner on the battlefield, the balance quickly broke.
After the two siblings won, they quickly joined the fight to help others. Their team's strength grew rapidly, like a snowball effect.
They swiftly defeated the remaining members of the Whitebeard Pirates, leaving only Marco struggling to hold on.
"Perospero! Pineapple Head is the last one left!" Perospero taunted cheerfully.
"Damn it!" Marco gritted his teeth in frustration.
"Marco, don't get obsessed with fighting. Retreat for now"
Sachi led the defeated pirates to retreat to their ship.
They only needed to light the explosives on the stern to escape Fish-Man Island.
"Just wait, I'll make you pay for this!"
Marco said angrily as he prepared to leave, knowing that now wasn't the time for further fighting.
Smoothie and the others watched as the Whitebeard Pirates left but did not pursue them.
Their mission was to protect Fish-Man Island.
If they killed the enemy's cadres, it could trigger an all-out war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates.
This was something they wanted to avoid.
Here, the Neptune family put down their binoculars.
"It looks like the Big Mom Pirates have won. Let's go down and start preparing to build numerous dessert workshops on Fish-Man Island."
To survive in this dangerous era of great pirates, Neptune has his own strategies.
Though he is friends with Whitebeard and Jinbei, he hopes Whitebeard will be the ultimate victor.
However, securing protection from the Big Mom Pirates with just some desserts is not impossible.
Neptune knows that any mermaid could fetch hundreds of millions of beli on the black market.
It's better for the mermaids to be exhausted from work than to be captured.
Without strong deterrents, slave traders won't care if fishman island is affiliated with the World Government or not.
Logically, Lynch should be pleased that Sengoku's task was completed, but he couldn't feel any satisfaction.
"Shouldn't the Whitebeard Pirates have won? Did I remember it wrong, or is something else going to happen?"
Lynch frowned.
At this time
[Ding! New life choices triggered!]
[Task Choice 1:Correct history and help Whitebeard gain control of Fish-Man Island.
Reward: +1 proficiency in Emission Armament Haki, greatly increased favorability with Whitebeard, and Whitebeard's friendship.]
[Task Choice 2: Defeat the present pirates by force.
Reward: Upgrade to Sharingan·Double Magatama·Tom the Cat
Note: First came Tom, then Heaven; he split a giant tree and challenged the gods.]
[Task Choice 3: As a Woman Hunter, kidnap Smoothie, who has a bounty of 800 million on her legs.
Reward: Three stockings production factories.]
Lynch's mind flashed between the three options.
Lynch considered the three options.
Yes, stockings do exist in this world—not just black silk, but also white, fishnet, leopard print, and python print.
The third option might seem like it's about getting three stockings factories, but in reality, it's about gaining a wife.
But...
"System, you're trying to win over a gentleman with a villain's approach. You're the real Woman Hunter,"
Lynch said disdainfully as he dismissed this option.
Is it because Hina is no longer attractive, or Sister Gion is not appealing, or Robin is not intellectual enough?
As for the second option…
Lynch thought of the lazy cat with a big belly and a big mouth showing off the dried fish.
Expecting this lazy cat to fight is as unlikely as pigs flying—unless he forces him with a sword.
There might be a chance to equip him with a Rinnegan in the future, but he won't consider that now.
"System, choose one."
[Ding! Mission accepted successfully.]
"Sengoku, Sengoku, don't you really want to take action? This reward is too tempting."
Silently apologizing to Sengoku, Lynch stopped the family who was about to leave the platform.
"King Neptune, it looks like you want the Whitebeard Pirates to take control of Fish-Man Island, right?"
Neptune realized that Lynch's interest in the matter was likely not without reason.
Could it be that the Marines were willing to intervene?
"Oh? Do you have any ideas?"
"Although I'm not exceptionally talented, I'm still a Vice Admiral. I see the tens of thousands of pirates below as nothing."
"If His Majesty the King desires, I can help you deal with the Big Mom Pirates."
Neptune was immediately disappointed. "Mr. Lynch, you must be joking..."
Seeing Lynch's serious expression, King Neptune couldn't continue.
This guy... could he really be serious?
Despite being his savior, Neptune couldn't let Lynch risk his life here.
As Neptune was trying to figure out how to politely refuse, the three Fukaboshi brothers burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, this is the funniest joke I've heard all year."
"Brother, if you brag too much, you'll only end up harming yourself."
"Don't be upset. If you hadn't saved our father, we wouldn't care about your life or death."
