139 139- Vice Admiral's death

"Ethan!" The girls cried in concern while the Marines cheered with joy upon seeing this happen.

Ethan's body falls to the floor of the ship while Onigumo retrieves his head from Ethan's hand and puts it back in place.

Then, using cobwebs, he attached his head to his body.

Onigumo looked surprised when he saw Ethan standing up again.

Ethan turned around and looked at Onigumo coldly, "How are you still alive?"

"What a coincidence I wanted to ask you the same question. Eight Sabers cut your body but you are still standing." Onigumo looked at Ethan in amazement.

Both looked at each other coldly and neither of them spoke, Ethan thought, 'I was careless, I didn't expect him to live after his beheading.'

The reason why Onigumo didn't die was because his Devil Fruit gave him this ability after awakening it, some insects survive for days without a head.

However, if his head is not sewn into his body properly, after a few hours he will die.

"I understand you are an insect that does not die from decapitation, but in the end you are an insect that I will crush." Ethan gritted his teeth as an intense killing intent emanated from him, killing intent spread to cover the entire ship. Some marines fell to their knees from intense killing intent while some felt that the blood in their bodies was freezing even though it wasn't cold.

The fact that he nearly died due to his negligence made him angry with himself and angry with Onigumo, next time if he doesn't make sure his enemy is 100% dead he will never loosen his defense.

"Insect, you will not survive this attack." Ethan held the katanas tightly while placing them one on top of the other crosswise in front of him, the katana in his right hand was placed horizontally while the katana in his left hand was vertical.

"Won't you cover yourself in your shell?" Onigumo sneered when they saw that Ethan had not transformed into his human-dragon hybrid form.

"I don't need that to kill you." Ethan remained standing in the same position while killing intent was still increasing and the aura of death began to condense and appear in front of everyone, everyone who saw this scene swears that they saw a demon skeleton standing behind Ethan at this moment.

Some of the weak-willed Marines's hearts stopped beating and fell to the ground dead. While the rest are standing still, they see the abyss of death sway in front of them and rush into Onigumo.

"Damn, what is this?" Onigumo's back filled with sweat when he saw Ethan rushing towards him, but he still tried to defend himself from the incoming attack with all his might.

*TRUE DEATH*

In an instant, Onigumo and Ethan passed through each other.

Ethan looked at the katanas in his hands and noticed that the cracks were filling in them. Then he looked at Onigumo, who remained motionless.

Then he looked at the marines and saw that most of them had fallen to the ground while there was liquid coming out of the area between their legs and fear filled them.

Then he walked toward the girls and said indifferently, "Let's go back to the ship."

"But what about the Vice Admiral?" Nojiko pointed to Onigumo, who was still standing in the same spot.

"He is dead." said Zora as she returns to the ship with Ethan.

"He is dead." After Ethan finished saying this, Onigumo's body was cut in half vertically and then horizontally, while his arms were also cut off, and then his split head fell in half from his body.

The Marines who were standing fell to their knees while vomiting due to the horrific and disgusting scene in front of them.

At the Marine HQ

"Isn't sending Vice Admiral Onigumo to East Blue an exaggeration?" Brannew asked the Fleet Admiral.

"No, it is best that we get rid of this threat in advance. Also, one of the reports I received confirms that they were able to defeat the Steel Fist Pirates without the Black Dragon Ethan participating in the fight. You know who the Steel Fist Pirates are, right?"

Brannew noticed the seriousness in Sengoku's voice when he asked the question, so he nodded and replied, "Steel Fist Pirates are New World pirates whose captain has a bounty of 150 million on his head, he can also use Observation Haki and Armament Haki and the most interesting thing is that he can use Rokushiki and we don't know where he learned it from."

Sengoku: "That's right, a pirate from the New World was defeated by a pirate from East Blue. This is completely abnormal."

Brannew: "Then shouldn't we raise the bounty on their heads?"

Sengoku's brows furrowed as he said sullenly, "We covered up what happened in the Frauce Kingdom, and it was reported that it was the Marines who helped the kingdom and defeat the Steel Fist Pirates."

Sengoku: "Also, we did not increase the rewards on their heads because it would become a very large reward for someone who still did not enter the Grand Line in the first place and also would attract the attention of the Yonko towards him and they might want to recruit him."

Brannew: "But his Devil Fruit has already attracted one of the Yonko, and he's probably planning to recruit him."

Sengoku: "Kaido won't go after the boy now, but he will wait in the new world. All we have to do is kill him before he reaches the new world and joins the crew of one of the Yonko."

Brannew: "So that's why you sent Vice Admiral Onigumo to kill him before he even entered the Grand Line."

Sengoku: "Yes, eliminating a potential threat early would be a good thing."

Brannew noticed some papers on Sengoku's desk and was curious but didn't ask because his rank didn't allow him to ask questions, and if he did, it would be disrespectful to the Fleet Admiral.

Sengoku noticed Brannew's curiosity and said, "It's a report on the battle between the SHD Pirates and the Steel Fist Pirates. It has all the details of the battle written on it and details about the strength of the SHD Pirates."

Sengoku: "I was planning on giving you this in order to put a bounty on the heads of members who don't already have a bounty. But that's not necessary anymore, because Onigumo will surely kill or capture them for execution."

At this moment the office door was smashed as an angry old man entered, "Sengoku you bastard."

"Vice Admiral Garp, this is a disrespect in front of the Fleet Admiral." Brannew sighed.

"Brannew, don't interfere. I'll work it out, but if you want to take some punches from Garp, go ahead and try to stop him." After hearing this, Brannew started to sweat and saluted Sengoku and then ran out of the office.

In the office only angry Garp and Sengoku remained, "Sengoku you bastard, how dare you send a vice admiral to kill my granddaughter!"

"Calm Garp, I have ordered Onigumo to capture her and not kill her." Sengoku tried to calm Garp.

But Garp did not calm down and punched Sengoku's desk, smashing it. "Do you think I would trust Onigumo who is famous for killing pirates instead of arresting them?"

Seeing this, Sengoku exclaimed angrily, "It's all your fault because you didn't know how to raise your granddaughter."

"What did you say, you bastard?" When a fight was about to break out between Garp and Sengoku, the two heard Den Den Mushi's voice.

"Purupuru Purupuru"

Sengoku extricates Den Den Mushi from the ruins of the desk.

"Report, Mission A1464 failed, SHD Pirates have entered the Grand Line."

"WHAT?" Sengoku screamed in shock.

Unlike Sengoku, Garp started laughing happily and then pulled out a few biscuits from his jacket pocket and started eating them. "Looks like they escaped from Onigumo."

Apparently the person on the other side of the line heard Garp so he stuttered and said, "No... the SHD Pirates got into a fight with us and... we were defeated."

"Out of a thousand marines, thirty eight people lost their lives and three hundred and forty seven people were seriously injured, the rest had minor wounds."

Although the attacks of Ethan and the girls are strong, they did not kill all the marines, and most of the killings that took place were by Ethan, Zora and Alvida.

Ethan killed ten people using his hands while ten more died due to the death aura of his last technique.

The rest either Zora and the girls either killed them outright or died from injuries.

The number of deaths is very low, so Sengoku was not surprised, because usually they would lose many more Marines than these, but the number of serious injuries was very high. "Tell Onigumo to stop chasing the SHD Pirates and go to our nearest branch to treat the seriously injured Marines."

Sengoku noticed Den Mushi's facial expressions, noting sadness, hesitation, and fear, and then spoke, "Vice Admiral Onigumo... was killed by the black dragon Ethan."

"It was also filmed by News Coo." Now they have to negotiate with Morgan if they want to hide the matter, and there is a good chance that he will not agree and will spread the news.

At this moment a Marine hurriedly entered with a worried look on his face, "This is bad, on several islands in the Four Seas and the Grand Line, information and photos are being published confirming that it was the SHD Pirates who defeated the Steel Fist Pirates and not the Marines."

"WHO IS THAT BASTARD WHO DID THIS?"
