Chapter 78: 078 The Third Prince’s Oath
"Looking at how young you are, I suspect you have connections in the Marine. Otherwise, how could you possibly be a Vice Admiral?"
"From your look, it seems this is your first time at sea. You don't even know how powerful the Big Mom Pirates are."
"Let me tell you, even if a few seasoned Vice Admirals were here, they wouldn't stand a chance."
The three Fukaboshi brothers shared their thoughts with each other.
Although their words were harsh, their intentions were good.
Princess Otohime apologized, saying, "I'm sorry for their rudeness. They mean no harm. I hope you won't be upset."
Princess Otohime waited for the three brothers to finish speaking before apologizing. She hoped to make Lynch understand the harsh reality and convince him to abandon any thoughts of suicide.
Lynch smiled and shook his head. "I'm not so narrow-minded as to fight with three princes."
He looked at the Fukaboshi brothers. "So, if I actually defeat the Big Mom Pirates, what will you do?"
On one hand, he had the mission, but on the other, he couldn't ignore the potential benefits of Fish-Man Island.
He wanted to maximize his gains.
"Hahaha, if you really succeed, I'll accept you as my brother-in-law," Fukaboshi said.
"If you succeed, my brothers will definitely call you 'eldest brother' from now on," said the second prince.
The third prince was more blunt: "I'll eat shit!"
The two brothers looked at him in shock.
Even if they knew they could win, someone who dares to make such a bold statement must be ruthless.
The three brothers spoke quickly, finishing before Princess Otohime could intervene.
"Alright, it's settled then."
"A true man stands by his word!"
Before anyone could react, Lynch had already dodged and flew off.
"Look at what you three have done. If Mr. Lynch dies, you'll all have to apologize to me!"
Neptune said angrily, giving one of them a hard slap.
The three brothers covered their faces, looking confused.
No, they were just talking, certain that the other party wouldn't actually act on it.
Why did he really go out?
Their words were one thing, but now the situation was different.
After defeating the Whitebeard Pirates, Smoothie and other cadres gathered together with smiles on their faces.
"We've completed Mother's task. She'll definitely reward us when we return."
"That's right. We've achieved great things this time."
"Hahaha, if you ask me, the Whitebeard Pirates are nothing more than that."
"That Pineapple Head is just the captain of the first team. He's far weaker than the second brother."
"Perorin, something seems to be approaching from the sky."
Perospero, the most vigilant, spotted Lynch immediately.
"No! Get out of the way, it's coming down!"
Perospero's face changed dramatically. He used syrup to create springs and quickly propelled his brothers and sisters away.
Almost the next moment, there was a loud "boom" and a ferocious beast nearly ten meters smashed down.
The ground shook like an earthquake.
When the smoke dissipated, everyone finally saw clearly the ferocious beast inside.
What a terrifying existence that is!
The beast's exposed skin was covered with dragon-scale-like tattoos, with sporadic dragon scales protecting vital areas.
Long, sinuous horns on its head seemed to reach the sky, and the barbs on its joints were scary.
In the distance, the three brothers with telescopes were nearly terrified.
"So, that's Lynch?!"
"He's so powerful and frightening."
"He won't hold a grudge, will he?"
Fukaboshi felt that the aura from Lynch was more terrifying than any Sea King he had seen.
He feared that Lynch could crush him with a single punch.
"Mr. Lynch is not that stingy."
Princess Otohime comforted the three of them, "Of course, that's if you keep your promise."
Princess Otohime wanted her sons to learn not to judge people by appearance and not to underestimate anyone.
"Ah?"
The three princes realized what they had just said and looked more distressed than ever.
Especially the third prince, who had said he would eat shit.
Faced with the monster, he shuddered and suddenly felt that eating shit might not be so bad after all.
"What a surprise, Lynch nearly fooled me," Neptune said as he walked to the high platform.
With renewed hope, he wondered if this young man truly had the strength to challenge the Big Mom Pirates.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Perospero waved the smoke away and saw the figure that had fallen from the sky.
"Kaido!" he gasped, horrified, and took several steps back.
"Take a good look at the monster with the long tongue. Kaido doesn't have a crew like me."
Lynch, irritated by being mistaken for Kaido whenever he transforms into his half-animal form, corrected them.
In terms of seniority, the Blue Dragon Fruit is the son of the Sun Candle Fruit.
If we talk about resemblance, it's Kaido who looks like him.
With a "Zheng" sound, the five-meter-long Dragon Slayer was unsheathed, its razor-sharp edge cutting through the earth.
Perospero, looking fearful, muttered, "Damn it! When did such a monster appear at sea again?"
Every strong person has their own courage.
For ordinary people, it's not easy to find the bravery to challenge such powerful figures.
Facing the person in front of him, Perospero felt as helpless as his mother would in a severe crisis.
"As you know, we are the Big Mom Pirates."
He raised his hand to stop his younger brother and sister from moving.
Perospero's intuition told him it was best to avoid conflict with this man.
Otherwise, he will die!
"Leave The fishman island obediently, and I can spare your lives for Linlin's sake."
Although a war with the Four Emperors was inevitable, it wasn't supposed to start now.
If Lynch keeps all these people, he'll face the relentless struggle of the entire Big Mom Pirate group.
The threat from such a fierce crew is immeasurable.
If that happens, his country, his people, and even himself will be hunted by the entire underground world by the Big Mom Pirates.
Even the current Marine and World Government dare not do this for fear of breaking the balance and facing revenge at sea.
"Sorry, The Fishmen Island is a command from my mother. We can't retreat without a fight."
Perospero drew his staff, ready to fight to the death.
"You're Lynch! That Marine!"
Suddenly someone in the crowd recognized Lynch.
Garrett stared intently at Lynch. The figure in front of her had appeared countless times in her nightmares.
If the other party hadn't transformed, he would have recognized him right away.
"Ah? Sister, are you sure?"
Raisin, who had also been beaten by Lynch in East Blue, looked at his sister in shock.
Since the severe beating they received, they had investigated Marine information through the underground world.
At that time, Lynch wasn't even a Rear Admiral.
They were beaten by a low-ranking Marine, which embarrassed them greatly.
"Yes, I'd recognize him even if he turned to ashes!"
Garrett gritted his silver teeth on his beautiful face.
