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

Garp and Kizaru couldn't stop complaining as they faced the rampaging Big Mom, consumed by her schizophrenia.

In her current state, Big Mom resembled an uncontrollable boss, driven solely by a violent urge to kill. 

Her relentless attack-only style made it nearly impossible for Kizaru and Garp to approach her safely.

Big Mom fought recklessly, ignoring pain and injury. Her strategy was simple yet terrifying: hurt the enemy at all costs, even if it meant severely injuring herself. 

The sheer ferocity of her attacks sent Saint Saturn scurrying to a safe distance, terrified of being caught in her wrath.

"Boom!"

When Garp moved in close, it was like facing a deranged grizzly bear. Big Mom's crazed determination meant she'd willingly lose a few teeth if it meant leaving wounds on Garp. 

Her life-threatening style of combat forced even the veteran Marine hero to tread carefully.

After just one exchange, Big Mom was badly hurt—her teeth flew out, and the corners of her mouth were torn. Garp, too, had two bloody stab wounds on his chest.

Kizaru wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered, "This old man, when others fight, he goes all in."

In Kizaru's view, it would be better to let Big Mom and the other pirates tear each other apart rather than keep fighting her. But unfortunately, Saint Saturn and Garp didn't think so.

"Huhu"

Garp jumped back to distance himself from Big Mom, breathing heavily as he looked down at his bleeding chest. The old man seemed a little stooped now, his once-strong posture faltering.

In the middle of this life-or-death battle, Garp's thoughts turned unexpectedly to his son and grandson, Luffy. Images of the marks on Dragon's face and Luffy's innocent smile flashed in his mind.

"Old man, watch your injuries. You're getting older, so leave the tough mission to me," Kizaru said, stepping over to Garp with a kind reminder.

"Kizaru, do you think I'm old?" Garp turned to look at him.

"Of course not, old man. Your body's still strong."

"Then stop saying those stupid things!" Garp raised his iron fist, eyes full of determination as he glared at Big Mom.

"When I fought Roger for three days and nights, Linlin was still playing around with Kaido!" Garp proudly stated, a hint of nostalgia in his voice.

Unlike Whitebeard and Zephyr, who showed signs of aging, Garp and Rayleigh were special. Neither of them had eaten Devil Fruits; they relied on Haki and Taijutsu. 

Garp had avoided serious injuries or illnesses, maintaining his strength and health over the years.

The only thing that age affects is their physical strength. They can't fight at their peak for as long as they did when they were younger.

"Get out of the way, that crazy b**ch is back!" Big Mom's Emperor's Sword crackled with thunder and flames, surrounded by Conqueror's Haki. The pressure was so intense it struck at the soul itself.

Despite being in a weakened state, Big Mom didn't even bother shouting the name of her move.

Lynch looked away and surveyed the other battlefields. The Four Sweet Commanders were actually holding their ground against Saint Saturn, even having a back-and-forth with him. They hadn't fallen behind.

Well, it doesn't seem to be a surprise that they can hold back an Admiral-level combat force.

Smoothie, Snack, Cracker, and Katakuri, among the four, three have awakened their fruits abilities.

The awakened abilities of the three Devil Fruits make them much stronger, even if they aren't at their peak. 

Looking at Marco's performance in the Summit War, the Vice Captain was already strong enough to fight an Admiral. 

With the support of the other commander, the situation becomes even more stable.

Take someone like Doflamingo, a powerful member of the Shichibukai, for example. He might struggle against Cracker and would likely be overpowered by Katakuri.

Based on the current situation, it seems that Smoothie, Cracker, and Katakuri are capable of holding off Saint Saturn. Snack, on the other hand, is more of a wildcard.

In simpler terms, Saint Saturn is like a mythical beast, tough enough to take a beating. If a weaker Admiral were in his place, the Sweet Commanders could probably overpower them.

Byrnndi World and Baron Tamago disappeared from Lynch's sight, nowhere to be found. 

Meanwhile, Dalmantian and Daifuku were still locked in a fierce battle, exchanging punches with no special tactics—just pure physical combat.

Dalmantian, wearing a dog-head mask, seemed to admire Garp and fought in a similar style, using only his fists. However, his strength was far weaker than Garp's.

Daifuku's Devil Fruit ability was a bit unusual. When he rubbed his belly, a blue elf-like figure, similar to Aladdin, emerged and fought alongside him, wielding a weapon to battle Dalmantian.

As for the battlefield involving Momonga, Onigumo, Oven, Perospero, and Garrett... well, it's a chaotic mess.

With Momongaas an actor, Onigumo is a bit miserable and is not far from being defeated.

Looking across the battlefields, Lynch noticed that Jinbei was struggling and about to be overwhelmed by Tokikake.

"Jinbei can't beat the Tokikake?" 

Lynch thought, a bit surprised. Could a former Shichibukai really lose to an Admiral candidate?

"But if he can't beat him, he shouldn't lose so quickly. I remember Jinbei is quite strong," 

Lynch thought. He also believed that Momonga, at this point, had the same strength as an Admiral candidate from the original timeline.

Something seemed off. What happened to Tokikake?

Lynch held back, choosing to observe carefully before jumping into action. After a closer look, he realized something was wrong.

What's going on with this Tokikake? His strength is clearly far beyond that of an Admiral candidate; he's nearly reached the level of an Admiral.

"And why did his hair turn green? Why is his nose so red?"

Lynch suddenly recalled something. He had seen this Tokikake in this state before at the Marine training ground.

"What was that clown breathing technique called?"

"Rabbit Breathing Technique · Sixth Style · Water Moon Slash!"

Tokikake endured the pain coursing through his body and swung his sword. A line of water appeared before Jinbei, drawing his gaze.

When Jinbei raised his arm to block, Tokikake in front of him split into countless afterimages.

With a burst of blood, Jinbei lost consciousness. Tokikake reappeared behind him, slowly standing up.

Jinbei's huge body suddenly split open with two terrifying stab wounds, and he fell to the ground with a "bang" and passed out.

Tokikake, having defeated Jinbei, didn't land a finishing blow. Instead, his scarlet eyes locked onto Lynch.

"Hehehehe, hahahahahaha~!" 

Tokikake laughed wildly, his tongue slithering out to lick Jinbei's blood off his blade.

His already grotesque face grew even more terrifying, resembling a murderer who had escaped a mental hospital.

"Do you know how long I've waited for this day?!" 

Tokikake's bloodshot eyes widened. "All my efforts, the meaning of my life, and the excruciating pain I endure every day and night—it's all for the chance to kill you!"

To kill Lynch, Tokikake didn't hesitate to create the Rabbit Breathing Technique, a method that sacrifices lifespan for power. 

Each time Tokikake swings his sword, it burns a part of his life. Slowly, he's walking towards his own death, step by step.
