136- Vice Admiral Onigumo

The Black Pearl Freya became much larger than before, The hull was black like marble while the ship's railings were coated in gold, and it had four masts with black sails.

Adding the finishing touch was the figurehead under the bow which was a beautiful golden mermaid with wavy flowing hair, its hands brought together in front of her mouth with her fingers intertwined as if in prayer.

The ship was well equipped and furnished with luxury items, electric stove, washing machine, dish washer and many other such equipment and furniture.

On the walls, there were paintings and ornaments fit for a noble's mansion.

There were Fourteen bedrooms furnished with bed and also had desk and electric lights as well as closet, The rooms look very luxurious.

There were three very large training rooms, enough for the crew members to train, and this room was made of very good materials that withstand high damage without affecting the ship, so the crew members could train with all their strength without fear of damage to the ship.

There was also a blacksmith's room, Inside there is a melting furnace and lots of rare metals and tools, and everything looks more sophisticated than before.

The kitchen was fully equipped with electric equipment and stocked with food.

Besides that, the storeroom was fully stocked with food enough for hundred people to eat for year, at the back of the storeroom was a small refrigerated area for frozen foods.

The bathroom was very clean, and it had a bathtub equipped with shower, a large mirror was placed above the sink, every metal part was golden in colour.

The living room furnished with elegant furniture and artistic ornaments such as paintings and flower vases, there was a dining table in the center large enough for tens people.

The large medical room with ten beds, a small office, and there is also a large cupboard containing various medicines. There are some devices to measure blood pressure, temperature, and heart rate.

There is also a cartographic room (the navigator's room), in which there are many maps, blank papers, inks, and everything that the navigator needs for his work.

There is also a large room for Ann's bird. Although it is a bird's room, it is well furnished as if there is a human living in it and not a bird.

there is another addition to the ship, which is a tailor's room, which contains various machines and a variety of threads of different colors. This place is the dream of every creative tailor.

The control room has been set up to control the ship when it flies.

The laser cannon was placed at the front and sides of the ship.

captain's cabin where the furniture was even more elegant, there was a beautiful wooden desk facing the door and a bed big enough for ten people directly behind the desk, and there was even a black sofa to the right side, on the left side was a large window.

This place can no longer be considered a ship, but rather a portable palace with all the necessary equipment.

This ship is a real paradise.

Two hours had passed since the Black Pearl Freya sailed and they would probably reach the entrance to the Grand Lane after one hour.

But at this moment a huge marine ship appeared in front of the Black Pearl Freya, and this was noticed by Balloon(Ann's bird).

*chirp* *chirp*

*enemies* *enemies*

Ethan and the girls who were looking at the changes in the ship heard Balloon's voice.

Most of the girls didn't understand what Balloon was saying, but Ethan and Ann could.

"They're Marines, there's a ship for them right in front of us." Ann used magic to connect her senses with Balloon's, and through its eyes she could see the Marine ship.

"Should we change the direction of the ship in order to avoid it?" When Clara was a pirate she preferred not to confront the Marines directly, because it would be annoying to do so and it would be a waste of time.

"No, we will stay on our course and if they block our way we will simply destroy them."

"If Admiral doesn't come, we won't run away." Ethan laughed as he looked at the navy ship that appeared in his line of sight.

"Ethan, let's use laser cannons." Lucy's eyes twinkle as she holds Ethan's hand and swings as if she was a little girl excited to try her new game.

"Let's use it later, I want to test my strength since there is a Vice Admiral on that ship." All the girls opened their eyes in shock upon hearing Ethan's words, that Vice Admirals were considered elite people in the Navy and had so much power that their strength was only under Admirals.

"How did you know there was a Vice Admiral on that ship?" For Zora, it was impossible for a Vice Admiral to appear in East Blue because they were normally present in the Grand Lane.

"I can sense the presence of a strong person on that ship and this level of strength is definitely a Vice Admiral." Surely all of this is bullshit, that Ethan knows that because Freya just gave him a mission.

[New mission available]

[mission: Vice Admiral killed!

objective: Kill off Vice Admiral Onigumo. He is a wannabe Akainu who believes in absolute justice, that's enough reason for him to die. (You have to fight it one against one)

Reward:500,000]

'Onigumo, is a powerful Vice Admiral but his full strength has not been shown, all I remember is that he was able to put the sea stone shackles on Marco's hand, enabling Kizaru to injure Marco.' The other thing Ethan remembers is that Onigumo is a Zoan type Devil Fruit user.

At this time, the Marine ship started firing cannonballs at the Black Pearl Freya, but Desire stood in front of the ship and made a barrier to block all the cannonballs.

The cannons installed on the Vice Admiral's ship are modern and have great destructive power, so if they hit the ship, they will cause it little damage.

If it's an ordinary ship, it will crash from receiving a single cannonball, but the Black Pearl Freya has a hardness similar to steel, so if you collide with it, you will only receive minor damage.

The Black Pearl Freya gradually approached the Vice Admiral's ship, and Ethan could see Onigumo standing at the bow of the ship looking at them coldly.

Onigumo is a tall man with a cold face and eyes that are always semi-closed. He smokes a cigarette, has long brown hair, and wears an ancient war helmet with a small, traditional Japanese dragon on it, and a long red plume hanging from it. Under his Marine coat he wears a double-breasted gray suit over a dark green shirt with a silver tie. He also has a golden loop earring on his left ear.

Seeing him, Ethan didn't waste any time and started transforming into a dragon-human form.

black scales began to cover his entire body, then two large horns appeared on his head, wings and a long tail appeared from his back, and Ethan also increased in height to three and a half meters.

East Blue.

On an island near the entrance to the Grand Line there was a man in a long green cloak looking at the raging sea before him.

A woman approached and then stood beside him, "There is a Vice Admiral who came to East Blue targeting the SHD Pirates."

This woman is Belo Betty.

Betty is a tall, slim woman with short, purple hair in a bob cut. Her pale green eyes are covered by a pair of black-framed sunglasses with red lenses. She also wears red lipstick and smoking a cigarette.

She wears a red top hat with red goggles, a pair of red curled horns on the front, and a long and puffy white plume on the back. She wears a red tie and her torso is barely covered, as she leaves her cropped red jacket with pink outlines open. She has red and white striped stockings under her red thigh-high boots. Her frilly red skirt is short on the front and long at the back.

"And what do you want me to do?" Dragon raised an eyebrow as he looked at Betty.

"I was expecting this information to interest you, after all your daughter and son-in-law are the captains of that ship." Betty was expecting Dragon personally to go help them or send her, after all a Vice Admiral is not an easy thing.

"They don't need protection, especially that boy. He's stronger than you expect and also...stronger than I expected." Dragon looked at his bandage-wrapped hand.

"How was your hand injured?" Betty asked seriously because someone who could injure a Dragon was definitely not an easy person.

"I punched something harder than I expected, it was foolish to punch without using Haki." Ethan's body is as hard as steel and hitting him without using Haki injures Dragon's hand, (Dragon at the beginning of the fight didn't use Haki, only started using it after hearing that he had a granddaughter)

"Are you talking about black dragon Ethan? Did you fight with him?"

"Yes I did. He is very powerful, he is just as powerful as a Vice Admiral. Both his speed and strength are similar to Vice Admiral's despite his lack of experience in using Haki."

After that, Dragon told her the details of his fight with Ethan.

"His attacks were so powerful that I would get injured if I got hit. But fortunately my Kenbunshoku Haki (Observation Haki) is much better than his Kenbunshoku Haki, so I was able to dodge and block all of his attacks." Ethan lacked Haki, if Kenbunshoku had the same level of Haki as Dragon then Dragon would have fought a tougher battle with him.

Dragon: "Although that boy is as strong as a Vice Admiral, even the Vice Admirals won't be able to defeat him."

Betty: "Why are you so sure?"

"That boy's defense. The toughness of his body is similar to steel. This is in its normal state and when his body is covered with dragon scales, it is impossible to penetrate his defense even with a normal Busoshoku haki (Armament Haki)."

"To break through his defense must use advanced Haki" Only by using Emission and Internal Destruction could Dragon inflict harm on Ethan.

"If the hardness of his body can be compared to someone else, I will compare it to that of Kaido." In fact, Kaido's defense can be considered better than Ethan because he uses Haoshoku Haki to cover his body.
