Life Choice, Hina Panics

"So, this 'Geppo'..."

Marineford Era, year 1506.

Marine Headquarters, Elite Training Camp.

Listening to Zephyr's vivid lecture, Lin Qi seemed a bit lost in thought.

Being able to fly by rapidly stomping on air – was that something a human could actually do?!

He had been reborn into this world ten years ago.

As an outstanding recruit among this batch, Lin Qi had naturally entered the Elite Training Camp.

But... techniques like Geppo and Life Return, no matter how many times he heard about them, still felt unbelievable.

Most importantly, after ten years, the system still hadn't activated?

After all, this world of the Pirate King was filled with incredibly powerful monsters.

Whitebeard, who could cause earthquakes with a single punch; Golden Lion, who could keep dozens of islands suspended thousands of meters in the sky for years; Kaido, the strongest creature in history...

People died in droves, one after another.

If he couldn't possess immense strength, then the best option would be to hole up in Marine Headquarters, work a desk job, and live out his life safely.

But Lin Qi wasn't willing to accept that!

After finally transmigrating to this magnificent Great Pirate Era, how could he be content without making a name for himself on the high seas?

However, he lacked a powerful Devil Fruit ability.

And he didn't have superhuman Body Technique talent either.

Becoming stronger was just too difficult.

Was he destined to be just an ordinary person, good for nothing but looking handsome?

Just as Lin Qi was contemplating whether he should sacrifice his dignity and use illicit means like selling his looks to get stronger, a synthesized electronic voice suddenly echoed in his mind.

[Ding! Loading complete. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Life Choice System.]

[Please become the king of a nation within three years. Upon success, the Emperor Faith System will be activated.]

[Life Choice System activated successfully.]

[Ding! The first Life Choice has been initiated.]

[Mission Choice 1: Diligently memorize Zephyr-sensei's Geppo technique teachings. Reward: Comprehend Geppo (Beginner)]

[Mission Choice 2: Establish prestige within the Elite Camp by defeating Smoker. Reward: Zoan. Bird-Bird Fruit. Model: White Dove.]

[Mission Choice 3: As a transmigrator, fear nothing and charge at Hina. Reward: Geppo (Peak)]

"The system awakened? And a dual system at that!"

After his initial shock, Lin Qi was overcome with ecstasy.

The system he had waited ten years for had finally arrived!

However, his system seemed a bit... unconventional.

Seeing the third mission choice, Lin Qi's mind conjured an image of Hina's peerless beauty.

Her waist was slender enough to be held in one hand, her peach-like hips were full and round, and her chest was even more impressive. Her figure was almost unrealistically perfect.

Speaking of which, unlike the generally unattractive men, the women in this world were generally good-looking.

Even a young Big Mom was a remarkable beauty, though her body became completely distorted after giving birth to 85 children over 42 years.

He recalled the data from the Pirate King newspaper; both Nami and Robin had F-cup chests, truly figures that could cause national ruin. It had greatly impacted the young Lin Qi's psyche back then.

But Hina was different from him, an ordinary person. She and Smoker had defeated the others in the elite selection with overwhelming advantage.

They were jointly called the future hope of the Navy, leaders of the Elite Camp, and rising stars within the Navy.

It could be said that he and Hina were from entirely different worlds.

Glancing at Hina, who was right beside him, a faint fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and Lin Qi's heart pounded.

Sensing his scorching gaze, Hina's beautiful face furrowed slightly.

This guy had been stealing glances at her from time to time since earlier, likely thinking of some dirty thoughts again.

As the Navy Goddess, Hina was all too familiar with this kind of look from Lin Qi.

But usually, those people only dared to watch secretly, and as soon as she looked their way, they would pretend to be gentlemen.

Yet this guy... wasn't even trying to hide it anymore?!

Lin Qi's gaze gradually lingered on Hina's alluring red lips, his throat bobbing.

"Whatever, I'll risk it! Let's go!"

Choice one was trash. He couldn't beat Smoker yet for choice two. Only choice three was truly suitable.

With Zephyr teaching at the front, everyone's attention was captivated. Tina was right beside him, and if he missed this chance, getting this close to her again would be like waiting for an eternity.

Lin Qi no longer hesitated. He strode forward and, under Tina's stunned gaze, grabbed her and, with lightning speed, lowered his head to kiss her.

"Mmph!"

Tina's beautiful eyes widened, as if she had encountered something incredible. Her pupils trembled violently, and for a moment, she forgot to resist.

Lin Qi didn't let go either. Who knew if this mission had a time limit? It was always best to play it safe.

An incredibly soft sensation came from his lips. Lin Qi gazed at the stunningly beautiful face so close to him, and his heart couldn't help but flutter.

The Navy's beauty, the goddess of countless men's fantasies, was now in his arms, and he was freely tasting her rosy lips.

Up ahead.

Zephyr's lecture stopped abruptly.

Countless students, immersed in the Geppo technique, snapped back to reality, curious why Teacher Zephyr had suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

"Hiss..."

Following Zephyr's gaze, everyone couldn't help but gasp. The scene instantly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"T-Tina's being kissed?!" the young Marine exclaimed in shock. The other Marines were equally dumbfounded.

"Damn it! This brat dares to kiss Miss Tina!"

There were few women in the military to begin with, let alone a beauty like Tina.

Normally, they were content just stealing glances at her from afar during training.

Yet now, Lin Qi dared to kiss their goddess right in front of them. This act, akin to cuckolding them openly, was simply unbearable.

The men's faces flushed with rage, and a few of Tina's fervent fans had tears welling up in their eyes.

It seemed that if it weren't for the presence of Teacher Zephyr, they would have swarmed forward and torn Lin Qi to shreds.

"I can't take it anymore! I'm going to beat him up!"

Fortunately, some in the crowd hadn't lost their heads and were holding back a few who were already taking off their shirts, ready to fight.

"Calm down. Look, Miss Tina isn't resisting. Maybe they're already secretly engaged. What business is it of yours?"

"Yeah!"

After being reminded, everyone froze. They realized Tina wasn't resisting at all?!

When did their goddess become taken?

And by some kid with only average combat power.

He was just a bit handsome, but could good looks fill a stomach?!

Everyone suddenly felt their lives turn bleak.

But what they didn't know was that Tina's mind was a complete blank at that moment. She hadn't heard a single word of what the people around her were saying, and even her sense of time was unclear.

"Mmph... Pervert!"

After a full seven or eight seconds, Tina's pupils finally refocused. With a furious punch, she landed a direct hit on Lin Qi's abdomen.
