Momousagi's Visit

Anyone else touched by his Zanka no Tachi would be instantly vaporized into ashes by the extreme heat!

With that thought, Haku turned his gaze towards the outside of Marine Headquarters.

His Observation Haki reached directly towards the three Admirals at the headquarters, his thoughts slowly drifting away.

Of course, Haku's unrestrained gaze towards these three strongest combatants of the headquarters—be it Akainu, Aokiji, or Kizaru, whom he had just met—did not go unnoticed!

The main reason Haku was looking at them was to figure out what excuse he could use to spar with these three fellow Logia-type Devil Fruit users!

Right now, the only way for him to quickly improve his compatibility with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was through combat!

It's just... Haku thought about the unique personalities of these three Admirals and felt his idea probably wouldn't come to fruition.

Akainu had been beaten too badly by him before, and he held considerable prestige within the headquarters. He might not agree to spar with him!

No need to even think about Aokiji; this guy believed in lazy justice. He'd probably rather sleep than fight him!

As for Kizaru, thinking about it made Haku sigh. This guy, who always liked to slack off, would definitely be too lazy to fight, no need to even ask.

As his thoughts swirled, Haku's door was suddenly knocked on.

"Huh?"

He couldn't help but question it? Because his Observation Haki had detected that the person arriving was Vice Admiral Momousagi.

Without time to think further, Haku stepped forward and opened his door.

As it turned out, the beautiful woman on the other side was holding bags full of vegetables, meat, and fruits, handing them to him.

"Huh? What's going on?" Haku, caught off guard, took all the bags from Momousagi's hands.

Before he could react, Momousagi slipped past Haku's side and into his home.

Although Haku was a bit stunned by Momousagi's move, he still closed the door. Turning around, he put the ingredients in his hands into the kitchen!

"Speaking of which, Gion-nee, what's up? Why did you bring so many ingredients to my place?" Haku, having already put the ingredients in the kitchen, turned to Momousagi, who had already sat down on the living room sofa, and asked curiously.

"Hmph~, Haku, you don't have to call me Gion-nee, Gion-nee. I'm not that old." Momousagi said, changing the subject.

Haku could see her hesitation, so he directly asked, "So, you didn't just come over to ask me to change how I address you, right?"

Momousagi felt that Haku clearly wasn't someone who would fall for that kind of tactic, so she honestly said, "Actually, I ate the meal you made last time, and I simply can't forget the taste of those dishes. So... so..."

As Momousagi spoke, her voice grew softer. However, Haku could still hear what she was saying!

Haku smiled and said, "So that's what it is! I thought it was something serious? You should have just said you wanted to eat my cooking earlier. Tell me, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you right away."

Before Momousagi could react, Haku turned and went straight into the kitchen.

Looking at Haku's broad back, Momousagi couldn't help but smile. She felt that if he were a romantic partner, he would definitely be someone she could entrust her life to!

More than ten minutes later, Haku had prepared dozens of dishes. When he brought the dishes into the living room, he found that Momousagi had changed her clothes.

Looking at Momousagi's graceful figure, Haku couldn't help but swallow. He thought to himself, Indeed, beautiful women are beautiful no matter where they go! Even among the Marines, she's still a beauty!

After all, Haku was almost 18 years old, and at this age, both psychologically and physiologically, he was easily attracted to beautiful women!

"Ahem!"

Realizing he had lost his composure, Haku coughed lightly. Then, he placed the dishes in his hands on the coffee table. Having lived two lives, he quickly suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

"Alright, the dishes are ready. We can start eating now!"

Momousagi looked at the dishes before her, her appetite whetted. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat.

Meanwhile, Haku, secretly peeking out the window at Garp, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and a slightly jealous Chaton in the room, said, "You all can come in now! I made extra portions for you too!"

Soon, Haku's front door was opened from the outside, and Garp's hearty laughter echoed from outside.

"Hahaha! Haku, you're the only one who's good to Grandpa, knowing I like your cooking and making extra portions for me!"

Haku glanced at Garp and then retorted unceremoniously, "Cut it out, you old geezer! I made this food for Momousagi and Vice Admiral Tsuru. You're just an afterthought!"

Garp rubbed his head and laughed, "Hahaha! You brat, after all these years, you still don't give me any face!"

Then, he said to Vice Admiral Tsuru beside him, "Come, come! Little Tsuru, you must try Haku's cooking this time. Besides being able to fight, this kid's best skill, as verified by this old man, is his cooking!"

Haku said sourly, "Hearing you say that makes me feel awkward, as if the food on the table was made by you?"

Vice Admiral Tsuru said to Haku, "Little Haku! Thank you for the trouble this time."

Haku laughed heartily, "Not at all, not at all!"

At Haku's home, the most awkward person right now was Chaton himself. Looking at the scene before him, he felt like this meal wasn't quite right!

However, for Momousagi's sake, he resolutely joined in the fun at this grand feast.

As for Momousagi? For some reason, after Vice Admiral Tsuru entered, she became unusually reserved?

When Vice Admiral Tsuru sat opposite her, her face turned bright red, as if something had been discovered.

After sitting down, Vice Admiral Tsuru kept looking at Momousagi with a smile.

The three gentlemen in Haku's house were certainly unaware of the thoughts of these two women!

After the meal was finished, Vice Admiral Tsuru was the first to speak to Haku, "Little Haku, your cooking is truly amazing. It's rare to taste such novel dishes."

Hearing Vice Admiral Tsuru's praise, Haku couldn't help but smile. This was the first time someone had praised him like this!

When Garp heard Vice Admiral Tsuru's words, he disdainfully snorted, "Hmph! Little Tsuru, you're being a bit biased! Have you forgotten this old man's signature dish, 'Braised Lion's Head,' from back in the day?"

Before Vice Admiral Tsuru could react, Haku said to Garp, "Give it a rest, old geezer! Stop flattering yourself. I still remember how your 'Braised Lion's Head' back then was rejected by everyone!"
