321- Goodbye (2)

Linlin grabbed Ethan with both hands and started rubbing him on her cheek, "Sensei, I missed you so much!"

Emily grabbed her father's head tightly so she wouldn't fall.

"Linlin, take me down now!"

Linlin showed a sad expression as she placed him on the ground.

Newgate approached Ethan and greeted him as well, then asked, "What is the reason for your visit, Sensei?"

"I have come to introduce my daughter to you." Ethan lowered his daughter to the ground.

"Howdy, my name is Emily." Emily greeted them in a funny way.

"Awww! She's so cute!" Linlin grabbed Emily and hugged her like she was a little doll. No, Emily looks much smaller than the dolls to Linlin.

Ethan wasn't worried that Linlin would lose control of her strength and crush his daughter, because he had already taught her to control her strength and she would no longer go crazy if she became hungry.

"I envy you, sensei!" Newgate sighed, "I also want a family and a daughter who is as cute as yours."

"It's not like I forbade you to marry." Ethan rolled his eyes and spoke sarcastically, "If you want to get married, I can find you a beautiful woman of your size."

After talking with them for a while, Newgate invited them to eat and celebrate with them.

Ethan agreed and he and his daughter started enjoying the party.

Emily saw the pirates dancing and singing so she went and joined them with a big smile on her face.

After a few hours, the celebration ended, and Emily fell asleep on her father's lap from exhaustion, but she was smiling happily in her sleep.

"Sensei, introducing us to your daughter is not the real reason for our visit, is it?" Newgate drank the wine from the bottle in his hand and looked at Ethan seriously.

"You're right, I came here to tell you that I don't have much time left, so I came to visit you one last time." The place was quiet after Ethan said this.

Newgate and Linlin could hardly believe what they had just heard.

Tears began to flow from Linlin's eyes profusely as she cried loudly, "Sensei, please don't leave! I was planning to marry you when I'm older."

At the same time, the pirates started making noise.

"Is this true? The strongest man in the world is about to die."

"Does this mean that the rumors that he has an incurable disease are true?"

"I can't believe someone like him would die like this."

Newgate was saddened when he heard Ethan but became furious at his pirate's rants, "Shut up, everyone! Get out of here, I want to be alone with Sensei."

After some time, all the pirates left, and only Newgate, Linlin, Ethan and his daughter remained in the place.

As Linlin continued to cry like a baby, Newgate spoke sadly, "Sensei, you are such a great person that you have helped me to become stronger and constantly provided food and clothing for my country."

"I was planning on repaying my debt to you in the future, but…" Newgate paused and a single tear fell from his eye. "But I didn't expect that it would be time for us to part ways before I paid my debt to you."

When he met Ethan, Newgate was just a small pirate who was not popular in the New World, but Ethan gave him a Devil Fruit and taught him how to use Haki. In Newgate's thinking, if it wasn't for Ethan, he wouldn't be where he is now.

Ethan looked at Newgate and Linlin as sweat covered his forehead, 'I was planning to trick the spies in these two pirate crew but they also believed it.'

Ethan rubbed his shoulder while sighing, "I'm not going to die!"

Linlin stopped crying and looked at Ethan with some hope, "Really?!"

Ethan was about to tell them the truth directly, but he sensed that someone was spying on them.

Ethan said sarcastically. "I'm just going to disappear from this world!"

Linlin cried again, even louder than before.

'But I will show up fifty years from now.' His voice entered the minds of the two.

Linlin stopped crying and looked with Newgate at Ethan in confusion.

"Newgate, Linlin, never stop training in the future no matter how strong you are."

"Newgate, I bet you will be the strongest man in the world in the future after me." Ethan gently held his daughter, "Goodbye!"

...

Ethan appears on the isolated island he calls Time Island.

"Now the spies from the Marine have heard that I am going to die, and in a few days the news of my death will spread. This way the Marines and the World Government should not suspect anything." A wry smile appeared on Ethan's face and he thought, 'I have to send Emma to the Newgate Pirates and Linlin in order to get rid of the spies there and then tell them the truth. But not now, maybe a few months after the news of my death broke."

Ethan tucked Emily into her bed and thought, 'It's time to meet Tsuru again for a special farewell.'

...

A few days later, the news of Arthur's death due to his Incurable disease spread throughout the world.

The news was very shocking to the world and caused a lot of uproar.

Many were happy with the death of this powerful person, especially the pirates. As for the world government and the five elders, they were expecting his death because they were the ones who poisoned him.

...

On one of the islands in East Blue, a man was carrying a newspaper, reading it, and a sad look appeared on his face, "Arthur, are you really dead?"

"Garp, what are you doing?" A beautiful woman approached the man while holding a baby in her arms.

"It looks like the sea will get into a mess for a while and that means my vacation will be cancelled." Garp sighed while looking at his wife and newborn son.

...

At the headquarters of the Marine.

A group of women Marine Corps gathered in one place.

"I can't believe this!" cried one of the female Marines who had a physical relationship with Ethan.

"I also can't believe it. Arthur, it's impossible for him to die." Tears started flowing from the women's eyes profusely, "A few days ago he was actively spending time with us."

Tears welled up in Tsuru's eyes too but unlike the other girls she wasn't crying at the news of Arthur's death, 'Idiot! Are you asking me to wait fifty years? I'll be old by then.'
