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

"Good!"

Seeing his plan succeed, Lynch quickly retreated. As he stepped back, Ochaku charged forward to take his place. 

The broadsword that was meant for Lynch ended up striking Kaido instead.

"Give me back my stuff!"

"Damn you, Lynch!" 

Both Ochoku and Kaido's faces twisted with fury as they roared in frustration.

Kaido was struck by the broadsword, and the flames transformed into a five-clawed fire dragon, wrapping tightly around his body, immobilizing him. 

Ochoku, caught off guard by the sudden theft of the pendant, ignored Kaido and immediately gave chase.

"Hey, Ochoku! You haven't untied me yet!"

The fire dragon constricted around Kaido like a golden rope. 

Though it couldn't harm him, he still struggled to break free.

Back in the day, Ochoku was one of the strongest figures aboard the Rocks ship, with power that even surpassed Big Mom and Kaido.

Even though he is old now, the bottom-of-the-box moves are not so easy to crack.

In particular, this move focuses on trapping the enemy.

Kaido's body began shifting from human form to hybrid, and finally into his full dragon form. Yet, the five-clawed fire dragon binding him adjusted in size as he transformed, clinging tightly. From the fading glow of the flames, it was clear Kaido wouldn't break free anytime soon.

The dimming speed of the fire dragon suggested that Kaido wouldn't be able to break free quickly. 

"Kaido, stop smashing around! Are you trying to bury us all alive?!" 

Big Mom yelled sharply as Kaido, now in dragon form, crashed into the cave walls, trying to shake off the fire dragon. 

Huge chunks of rock started falling from above.

"If upi doesn't want to step in and help, you might all get buried alive"

"You sneaky brat!"

 Kaido, rough yet cunning, was intentionally causing chaos to force Big Mom into helping.

"Hahahaha, the final winner is me."

Silver Ax, who had disappeared just now, suddenly emerged from the ground and grabbed the dark green dragon.

"Hahaha, the final winner is me!" Silver Ax, who had vanished moments ago, suddenly reappeared from the ground and seized the dark green dragon.

"Woo~" 

The Dragon Slayer Sword let out a distressed sound as it was held by Silver Ax, struggling to break free, unwilling to release the pendant clutched tightly in its mouth.

"Ouch!" 

The Dragon Slayer Sword, not one to tolerate disrespect, was quick to retaliate. 

It opened its jaws and bit down on Silver Ax's arm, injecting venom.

"Get off me!" Silver Ax shouted, hurling the sword away in pain. But soon, he realized something was wrong. 

Had he not been so injured, he might have sensed the attack earlier and used his armor to block the bite from Dragon Slayer Sword.

But now, with his serious injuries slowing his reactions, he failed to notice in time, and a large amount of venom was injected into him. 

Dragon Slayer Sword's poison was lethal—so lethal that even Rayleigh wouldn't dare face it head-on.

Silver Ax's face turned green almost instantly, and the blood he coughed up also became a sickly green. 

"This dragon... is poisonous?!" Silver Ax's eyes widened in shock, fury blazing in them as his body betrayed him.

Thanks to his strong vitality, Silver Ax wouldn't die immediately, but he felt his internal organs being eaten away by the venom. 

If he didn't act fast, the poison might really kill him.

"Silver Ax, not just anyone can play the predator, and no one steals from me," Lynch said coldly.

Catching the Dragon Slayer Sword as it flew back to him, Lynch crossed his two swords in front of him. "Two-Sword Style: Dragon Fang!" 

Conqueror's Haki surged around the blade, and in an instant, Lynch seemed to vanish, cutting through space itself.

He reappeared in front of Silver Ax, faster than a "shave," his dual blades aimed to deliver a fatal blow.

Cough... 

"I am Silver Ax of the Rocks Pirates! How could I die here?!" Silver Ax gasped in disbelief as Lynch's swords closed in, sealing his fate.

Silver Ax roared, unleashing his strongest attack as his ax erupted with earth-shaking power.

Boom!

When their weapons collided, it felt like a massive earthquake had struck. 

The ground trembled violently, causing cracks several meters wide and kilometers long to appear on the islands outside. 

Pirates in the cave struggled to keep their balance, barely managing to avoid falling.

"Oops!" 

Silver Ax's eyes widened in shock.

As he watched his weapon crack under the pressure of Lynch's double blades, he realized that even its weapon color couldn't stop the damage. 

Silver Ax understood that his life was nearing its end. 

If he kept pushing, he might survive a little longer, but if he withdrew his strength now, he would be killed instantly.

In those final moments, Silver Ax looked back on his life, memories flashing before his eyes.

At seven years old, Silver Ax was sold by his father into slavery for the nobles. 

By nine, he could no longer endure their bullying. In a fit of rage, he returned home and killed the father who had betrayed him.

From that moment on, he realized that power was everything, and the only person he could trust was himself. 

To him, others existed only for their own enjoyment.

Silver Ax was highly talented, becoming unbeatable on his small island by the age of 14. 

Any woman he fell in love with was at his mercy; if she displeased him, he would not hesitate to kill her. 

Likewise, any man who offended him would not survive until the next day.

Later, Silver Ax became a notorious pirate, embracing his new life with pride. 

He felt destined to be a pirate, using his strength to kill when he pleased, take women for his amusement, and get money with just a glance.

He betrayed countless people and was betrayed in return, gradually earning the title of Silver Ax on the seas. 

He believed his life would continue this way until the day he met someone who changed everything.

"Want to overthrow the world? Then come with me!" Rocks said, effortlessly defeating Silver Ax with a single blow, looking down at him like a giant.

After that, Silver Ax joined the Rocks Pirates. Despite their evil and treacherous nature, his crew remained fiercely loyal to Rocks, standing by him until the end.

"Maybe someone like me, who has committed so many sins, should have died long ago," 

"This life is worth it!" 

As death approached, Silver Ax felt no panic or fear. Instead, he closed his eyes and faced it calmly. 

Boss Rocks was right—few pirates end up well. But at least the excitement of his life had been enough.

"Click~"

The silver ax shattered, and the sword light slashed across Silver Ax's neck. A huge human head rolled down, and the blood on his neck spewed ten meters high like a fountain.

On Silver Ax's kind face, his eyes were closed forever.

Silver Ax, a former important crew member of Rocks Pirate who once crushed Big Mom and Kaido, eventually died at the hands of Lynch.
