Capítulo 12: 12 Expert Wingman: Tom the Cat
Momousagi has always been in a state of resistance to the Tokikake calling her by her real name.
According to her, since they are colleagues, they should be addressed by code names.
Now that she took the initiative to tell Lynch her name, Tokikake felt a little bit disgusted.
He didn't hold any grudges against this younger generation, but he couldn't help feeling a twinge of jealousy.
"Huh? Look at this, the cat can actually smoke," Momousagi exclaimed in surprise, looking at the kitten in her arms.
A burning cigar suddenly appeared in Tom's mouth.
Tom took a deep breath, then blew out smoke from his mouth. In the air, the smoke formed a line of text: [Hello, beautiful lady.]
"Wow, Tom, you're amazing. Is your name Tom? Would you like to stay at my sister's place for a few days? We have lots of fun things to do there,"
Momousagi exclaimed joyfully, hugging Tom.
Tom looked smug and extended his paw to touch her face.
Ever the helpful sidekick in helping his master pick up girls, Tom even showcased his housekeeping skills.
Back when he was a cowboy in Mexico, he used this trick to charm countless female cats.
Tokikake's eyes widened in amazement. This cat might have turned into a spirit! The trick was so cool that he wanted to learn it too.
Seeing Tom, Momousagi felt her troubled mood of being harassed by Tokikake instantly improve.
Before she knew it, Tom conjured up various things one after another, almost like magic. He quickly prepared a fruity drink with a juggling act and handed it to Momousagi.
"Giggle, is this for me? Thank you,"
Momousagi chuckled, taking the cup and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
After all, who would suspect a kitten in Marine Headquarters?
What mischievous thoughts could a cat possibly have?
"It tastes good,"
Momousagi remarked, stretching out her tongue to lick away the last drop of liquid stuck to the corner of her mouth.
"No... wait... what drink did you give me?"
Momousagi belched wine, and her exposed skin turned red at a visible speed. Suddenly, the world seemed to spin, and her steps became unsteady.
Taking advantage of the moment, Tom leaped out of Momousagi's arms, thrust a wine bottle into her grasp, and then sprayed something unknown on Lynch.
"Gion-sama, are you alright?"
Lynch asked, trying to assist Momousagi, but receiving only a stern stare in return.
"Is this... really wine?"
Momousagi murmured, holding the wine bottle, her eyes gradually blurring, as if they could bulge out.
"Momousagi-sama, where is your home? How about I help you go back and rest first?"
Lynch suggested, despite his endless complaints. Due to her height advantage, he found himself bombarded by a cascade of snowballs, fragrant and soft.
But they were out on the street. Lynch did his best to focus on unpleasant thoughts, fearing he might lose his dignity if caught off guard.
Tom, Tom, what on earth did you give Momousagi to drink? I feel like her eyes look like she wants to eat me...
Tom seemed to sense what his master was thinking, and held out five fingers as if asking for help.
Five small dried fish, at least five!
Tom, the ingenious cat, had concocted various potions, and the one he just produced was one of his inventions.
"Smells good,"
Momousagi murmured, leaning against Lynch and inhaling the pleasant fragrance emanating from his body. The scent seemed to intoxicate her more and more, prompting her to nestle burrowed into Lynch's arms.
"If I don't want to go home, can you take me to your place?"
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Momousagi wanted to slap herself.
It seemed she was really drunk. What else could explain her words?
"Ah? Sister Momousagi, what are you talking about?" Lynch asked, surprised.
"I-I mean, let's go to a café and sit down. I'll be fine in a moment,"
Momousagi stuttered, trying to backtrack.
"Tokikake, don't touch me, let Lynch help me,"
Momousagi slurred as Lynch assisted her into the cafe and seated her.
Tokikake followed silently and took a seat across from the two of them.
Momousagi's condition seemed to be getting worse. She hugged Lynch tightly, trying to press herself into his body.
"Damn it, I can't take it anymore!" Lynch exclaimed, feeling Momousagi's soft skin.
Silently, Lynch grabbed a pillow and placed it on his lap for Momousagi to lean on.
Glancing at Tokikake across from him, Lynch grew increasingly embarrassed. It felt like he was facing off against a towering Tokikake.
Momousagi's teary eyes also caught sight of Tokikake across from them, bringing back memories of the past and stirring up a sense of deep injustice within her.
Tokikake's relentless pursuit of her had reached a level that disrupted her life.
Due to Tokikake's relentless pursuit, she had no male friends left, and even her circle of female friends had greatly reduced.
No matter where she went on weekdays, she couldn't shake off Tokikake's entanglement.
While Tokikake may not have had bad intentions, Momousagi had simply had enough of this life.
In her drunken state, she became determined to get rid of Tokikake by any means necessary!
Even if it caused trouble for Sister Tsuru, Momousagi was willing to find another solution.
"Wait, maybe there's a better way than involving Sister Tsuru,"
Momousagi looked up and realized she was being held in his arms. Her eyes sparkled like peach blossoms, her face flushed even redder.
Since their first meeting, she had always found this younger brother so handsome, maybe...
"Brother Lynch~" Momousagi exhaled the scent of orchids, and the pleasant aroma left Lynch momentarily speechless.
"Sister Gion, are you alright?" Lynch asked, looking down at the strikingly beautiful woman in his arms.
Suddenly, Momousagi held Lynch's cheek, pulling him closer, and planted a kiss on his lips. Her touch was soft and sweet, sending a shiver down Lynch's spine.
"Woo!" Lynch's pupils trembled in surprise.
What a turn of events—he never imagined he'd be forcefully kissed one day.
The twists of fate were truly remarkable.
Please let more reincarnations like this happen!
Under the influence of the drug, things began to take a strange turn.
"Snort!"
Witnessing the scene, Tokikake couldn't bear it any longer. He threw up his sleeves in frustration and walked off angrily.
As he walked out of the teahouse, it felt like something shattered in his chest, and a tear trickled down his right eye.
"Gion, Gion, why is this..."
Since the first day he joined the Marines, just a glance in the crowd was all it took for him to fall in love with Gion.
His efforts, his struggle, everything is for Gion.
Gion is everything in his life, he can even give his life for Gion!
Tokikake knew that Gion didn't like him, but he never got discouraged, even if he was rejected again and again.
Because Tokikake believed that one day he would surely impress Gion.
But today, his heart was shattered. It seemed like there was no longer a goal worth living or striving for...
...boom!!!
At that moment, an unparalleled Conqueror's Haki erupted in the café, its force spreading throughout most of Marineford.
The walls of the entire Marine Base trembled.
Conqueror's Haki is the only ability that cannot be developed through training; it only grows stronger as the spirit does.
If the spirit is strong enough, even a newly awakened Conqueror's Haki can move mountains and split the seas.
With Lynch at the center, people in the surrounding area dropped like wheat.
Momousagi was already unconscious from the drink, and was further knocked out by the impact.
Shoppers on the street were struck by Conqueror's Haki and collapsed, rolling their eyes as they fell.
In the Marine conference room, Sengoku stood up, gripping the trembling table. He slammed his fist down, shattering his glasses, which showed that he was not at peace inside.
