283- To Amazon Lily

"I am Arthur, the leader of the Mercenary Guild." Ethan answered the empress of the Kuja's question.

Everyone who heard this opened their eyes wide because Ethan in the current era was famous as the strongest man in the world.

Ethan put the Empress back on the ship and looked at Paran coldly.

Paran took a few steps back in fear, but when he remembered that the Devil Fruit allowed his body to turn into diamonds, he gained some courage.

"Even if you are the strongest man in the world, you will not be able to harm my diamond body." Paran turned his entire body into the diamond and rushed into Ethan at full speed.

Ethan looked at this person coldly and used Armament Haki on his arm which made his arm color become Vantablack.

As soon as Paran approaches Ethan he quickly swings his hand and punches Paran's chest.

'Idiot, my body is a diamond.' There was a confident smile on Paran's face but when Ethan's fist reached his chest his facial features changed.

Ethan's fist easily pierced his chest and came out of his back, it was as if Paran's body was not a diamond but a piece of soft tofu.

Paran vomited blood and looked at Ethan in disbelief, "How?"

"I have no desire to explain." Ethan spoke coldly as he removed his hand from Paran's body.

His body fell to the ground and started bleeding profusely, and it didn't take long before he died and Ethan obtained another Devil Fruit.

"No matter how powerful a devil fruit is, it is no longer of any use against my haki." Ethan controlled a fraction of the sea water and washed the blood from his arm.

At first, everyone was skeptical about whether Ethan was claiming to be the leader of the Mercenary Guild, but seeing Paran die so easily, everyone believed it.

After that, Ethan controlled the sea water and rained water arrows on the pirates, piercing their chests and within moments killing all the hostile pirates.

The Kuja Pirates looked at Ethan in fear.

Although the Empress was frightened, she stepped forward and asked, "Are you here to catch us?"

"No, I was just passing by and seeing that you are being attacked by these pirates I decided to save you." Ethan let out a chuckle.

The Empress and the Kuja Pirates started to sweat profusely because it was they who started the attack and not the other way around.

'Would he kill us if he knew that we wanted to steal these pirates and not the other way around?'

The Kuja Pirates looked at each other and understood each other and decided something, 'It is better that he remain clueless and not tell him the truth.'

What these girls don't know is that Ethan already knew everything but pretended to be ignorant.

In fact, his appearance here was not a coincidence because he had been watching him for days and waiting for the right moment to intervene in order to establish a relationship with them.

Seeing them not moving and looking at him with caution and fear, Ethan smiled, "You can take all that is on this ship because I don't need it but I want a favor from you."

"What favor do you want?" The Empress asked curiously.

Ethan scratched his head and said shyly. "Actually my log pose is broken and I'm lost at sea."

"Actually I'm glad I found some people, I thought I was going to die at sea because of my neglect." Ethan deserved an Oscar because he seemed so persuasive and honest and everyone believed what he said.

One of the girls approached the emperor and whispered in her ear, 'Hebihime-sama, what should we do?'

The Empress looked at Ethan for a bit and then made her decision, "We will help him, he is the strongest man in the world and it would be very useful if he owes us his life."

After speaking with her followers for a bit, the Empress walked up to Ethan and stood before him, "So what do you want me to do?"

"I really wish you'd take me home." Ethan laughed lightly while scratching the back of his head.

"Okay we'll do it for you but we have to go to Amazon Lily first to deliver the goods and supplies we stole *Ahem*...that we won from the battle." The Empress's face turned slightly red but she tried to hide her embarrassment.

"It's okay with me waiting." Ethan pretended not to notice, which made the Empress sigh in relief.

After that the girls started to transfer everything to their ship and then destroyed the enemy ship.

The ship began sailing to Amazon Lily.

Ethan sat alone on the roof of the ship, and no girl approached him, and he also did not try to approach them, but he knows that curiosity will overcome the girls and they begin to approach him soon.

Not long after, a girl cautiously approached him but asked curiously, "Arthur-sama, are you a female or a male?"

Ethan wanted to fall to the ground in shock, 'It's not clear that I'm male.'

This girl was a new member of the pirate crew and had never seen many men before.

"I'm called the strongest man in the world for a reason." Ethan sighed, but upon seeing that she was looking at him in confusion, he knew she was a stupid girl, so he simplified it for her and said straight away, "I'm a male."

"Really! So what distinguishes males from females?" The girl looked at Ethan with sparkling eyes and wanted to know the difference between a male and a female.

"The male has a rod and the female a hole." Ethan answered simply, but she tilted her head in confusion, and not only her, but some of the girls who were snooping on the conversation did not understand what Ethan meant.

Suddenly the girl's eyes flashed and he went inside the ship and a few moments later came out with a rod in her hand, "I have a rod, does that mean I'm a male now?"

Ethan wanted to slap his forehead but only sighed because he knew that this girl was not stupid but very pure and probably most of the people of Amazon Lily Island were as pure as this girl.

When he wanted to explain to this girl more, he noticed that the rest of the girls on the island were holding rods in their hands and bragging that they are now boys.

Ethan sighed and didn't like these girls to be kept in the dark so he walked over to them and told them they didn't become men just by holding a rod in their hands.

"Then how should we carry it?" Most of the girls were at a loss.

Ethan's eyelids twitched and he didn't know how to get the right idea across to these girls.

In fact he can take his pants off and make them see the difference but he doesn't want to do that now because the time is not right. "Don't worry, I will certainly teach you all the difference between males and females, but the time is not right now."

After talking to the girls for a while, they no longer felt afraid of him, so they started approaching him and talking to him and asking him about different things.

While Ethan was talking to the girls he thought of Emma, ​​'After I get to Amazon Lily I have to get Emma because I promised her I'd bring her with me.'
