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

Aokiji was jolted awake by the changes in the two and became momentarily paralyzed. 

"Alright, combo skills, two versus one, fruit coordination, huh?!" 

With a sharp focus, he shouted, "Ice Age!"

…

"Hakoku!" 

Lynch seized the moment and used the giant's unique skill. 

Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the golden slash, sending Fast flying before he could elementalize.

"Pfft~" 

In mid-air, a deep gash appeared across Fast's body, stretching from his shoulder blades to his lower abdomen, nearly cutting his upper body in half. 

Scarlet blood surged from the wound, and in some places, his white ribs were visible.

"Boom!"

The force of the attack sent Fast crashing deep into the earth. From the start of the battle, countless bones in his body had been shattered.

Struggling, he forced himself to sit up, coughing up a few mouthfuls of black blood.

"Hehehehe, Admiral Sun Candle, the so-called hero of the world!" 

Fast's head lifted, a miserable smile on his face, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. 

At that moment, he had lost all his former glory, looking more like a beggar who had been dragged through the muck of war.

Fast's tattered clothes were clinging to his body, soaked in blood. His injuries were severe, his hair disheveled, and his expression bleak. 

The numerous wounds he had accumulated since the start of the battle were bleeding uncontrollably.

On the other hand, Lynch had removed his coat, revealing his toned muscles. His body showed no signs of injury, and his presence remained as strong as it had been at the start of the fight.

Before the battle began, Fast never imagined he would be reduced to this in just half an hour.

Even when he faced the most dangerous criminal in history, Dragon, Fast had never been in such a pitiful state. 

He was the former Marine Admiral, the mighty Hurricane Fast!

"Ahem... it doesn't matter if you defeat me," Fast said with a bloodied smile. 

"As long as I can hold you off, when Lord Saint Saturn wins, you'll be the final loser!"

He had unwavering trust in Lord Saint Saturn, which gave him confidence in the outcome of this battle.

So what if he couldn't defeat Lynch? Fast only needed to hold him off. There was no way the other side could kill him. 

Despite his decline in strength, Fast still considered himself an Admiral-level fighter, a Logia user with the Hurricane Fruit, and a veteran powerhouse who had ruled the seas for half a century. 

A fighter like him might be defeated, but killing him would be much harder—nearly ten times harder. 

As long as he wasn't outmatched or determined to die, masters like him rarely fell in battle.

Like the Golden Lion, the Red Count, and Roger, if they hadn't been determined to die, it would have been nearly impossible for anyone to capture or kill them, even if they were defeated.

"Old man, stop fooling yourself and pestering me," Lynch replied coldly to Fast. 

"If you don't run, you might die here, and no one will even bother to collect your body."

With a condescending gaze, Lynch looked down at Saint Saturn and slowly raised his supreme-grade sword, Demon Cutter.

The Hurricane Fruit user wanted to escape, and while Lynch couldn't stop him from doing so, Fast still dared to fight after being beaten this badly. 

Lynch was confident he could killed him.

Fast relied more on Saint Saturn than on himself, like a pig relying on an old sow. He had nearly been killed by Tom Cat, but his biggest trump card was still there, showing that he believed the situation was still under control.

…

In the middle of the battlefield between Saint Saturn and Kizaru, an unexpected figure appeared.

She had fair skin, beautiful features, and long legs. Her hair was tied in a bun, flowing freely behind her, exposing a smooth forehead. Lilac eye shadow added to her charm. 

Her outfit was cut low at the chest, revealing half of her white breasts, which seemed like they might spill out if the clothing were fastened.

The most eye-catching thing was her long, slender legs. 

The mysterious woman helped Tsunade and Robin to their feet and softly spoke, "Healing fragrance." 

A pink mist filled the air, and the pleasant aroma quickly reached their senses. Robin's injuries began to heal rapidly. 

Surprised, she looked at the woman and exclaimed, "Sister Gion, you're back!" 

"Yes, I'm back." Gion gently caressed Robin's cheek and smiled softly.

"I've seen your efforts. Thank you for holding off the enemy. Leave the rest to me."

After three years, Gion had fully absorbed the soul of an Admiral, inheriting the power of the first female Admiral in history. 

She awakened just before the war began.

Gion's awakening was the source of Lynch's confidence. Now, she was at the Admiral level.

Though her appearance hadn't changed since three years ago, thanks to the Admiral Soul Pearl, her skin had improved.

The reason Gion didn't act at the start of the war was that she had been inactive for too long. 

Just like when someone doesn't exercise for a long time, they suffer from muscle atrophy. It's similar to when a cast is removed after a broken bone, and the arm under the cast is much smaller than the other arm. 

This condition is called muscle atrophy, or "apraxia of muscle atrophy" in medical terms.

If it were an ordinary person, not moving for three years, even with good nutrition, they would die. 

So, stories like Sleeping Beauty in fairy tales are far from the truth.

A person in a vegetative state needs assistance to move and be massaged, or they could die from being motionless for too long. 

As for Gion, with her extraordinary physique and the blessing of the Admiral Soul, she only experienced normal muscle atrophy after three years. 

This isn't a disease, but a natural response of the body to inactivity.

Since it's not a disease, it can't be treated with medicine. Recovery comes from eating well and exercising. 

While it would take an ordinary person several months or even a year to recover, Gion fully regained her strength just one hour after waking up.

In the half hour since the war began, Gion had been secretly recovering. 

Though the battlefield seemed full of danger, Robin, Hina, and the others were able to handle most threats. 

When they faced a real danger they couldn't overcome, Gion stepped in. 

Robin and the others held their ground, allowing Gion to fully recover. 

Now, she was at her peak. Gion leapt over the Kizaru battlefield and activated her Devil Fruit ability.

"Healing fragrance!" 

"Excitement fragrance!" 

"Immunity fragrance!" 

"Speed fragrance!" 

"Paralysis fragrance!" 

"Poison fragrance!"

…

Gion paused in mid-air, her red lips slightly parted. Each time she spoke the name of a perfume, a new effect spread over herself and Moria below. 

Moria was stunned to realize that not only had his injuries healed, but his strength was fully restored. He felt faster, stronger, and no longer felt pain, as if his body was even more powerful than before.
