121 121- Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri

[Congratulations for unlocking a new feature for the system]

[Pirate Fleet]

[In order to join your pirate fleet a person has to sign a contract with certain conditions produced by the system in order to ensure no betrayal.]

[1- No one who joins the pirate fleet is allowed to betray Ethan.]

[2- Everyone who joins the pirate fleet must swear full allegiance to Ethan.]

[3-Everything Ethan says must be obeyed, and his orders are above all.]

[4- Whoever violates the contract will lose his talent by 95%, and he will feel severe pain throughout his life. The person who betrays Ethan does not deserve to die but must be tortured in the most severe way possible.]

[The type of pain will be decided by Ethan and there are types of pain: 1-As if he is being eaten by many ants. 2-As if his body is being stabbed everywhere by needles. 3-As if he was being burned by a very hot fire. 4- Etc]

[Everyone who joins your pirate fleet will receive an increase in talent according to their rank in the pirate fleet.]

[Captain: He will get a 15% increase in talent]

[Vice Captain: He will get a 10% increase in talent]

[Ordinary Pirate: Will get a 5% increase in talent]

[They will be given ships made by the system. These ships are associated with the Black Pearl Freya, so the system can locate members of your fleet.]

[The ships offered by the system will be better than normal ships and can be compared to the best ships of the Marines.]

[Each ship the system makes is enough to house 1,000 pirates inside.]

[Each ship the system makes will cost 10,000 points.]

'As good as the best marines ships? Does this mean that the bottom of the ship will be made of sea stones?' Ethan thought while holding his neck

[Yes, but the sea stone will not be pure but it will be enough to cross the calm belt without being noticed by the sea kings.]

'I know it won't be pure because mostly all sea stones are not pure, 100% pure sea stone is very rare and definitely won't be used on ships.'

'Is the bottom of the Black Pearl Freya made of sea stone too?'

[No, but you can buy that at the system store.]

Ethan nodded and stopped talking to Freya and looked at Bartolomeo and then pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Bartolomeo. "Sign this contract if you want to be part of my pirate fleet."

Bartolomeo did not read the contract until he signed it directly and returned it to Ethan.

"Are you a Devil Fruit user?" Bartolomeo did not use his fruit when he fought Ethan, which made Ethan wonder.

"I didn't eat a devil fruit, but my childhood friend ate a devil fruit."

'Does this mean that it was Desire who ate a devil fruit instead of Bartolomeo? Freya warn the girls about the devil fruit.' Ethan's face didn't show any concern because he believed the girls could defeat her.

But just in case he decided to hurry up to his work and go watch the fight. "Bartolomeo, follow me."

Ethan first went to 'Clara's Tailored Clothing' to get his clothes.

As soon as they entered the shop, Clara recognized Bartolomeo. "Bartolomeo-san, what are you doing here?"

"Clara, I came with Ethan-senpai."

Ethan looked at the interaction between the two, then asked Bartolomeo, "Do you know each other?"

"She was a powerful pirate but was defeated by my childhood friend because of the Devil Fruit, and from that day on she became the strongest subordinate of my childhood friend."

"Bartolomeo-san, though you are Desire's childhood friend, do you think I won't beat you after hearing you talk about my past?" Clara looked at Bartolomeo sharply, causing sweat to fall from his forehead.

"Are my clothes ready?" Just before Clara punched Barzolomeo, Ethan asked her.

"Yes, it's ready." Clara went into the back room and grabbed two large bags.

Bartolomeo picked up the bags for Ethan.

After Ethan and Bartolomeo leave, the Den Den Mushi on Clara's desk starts to make a sound.

"Purupuru Purupuru"

Clara grabbed Den Den Mushi and answered the call, "Hello, who's with me?"

"It's me, we're having a big party at the headquarters so come here quickly." Desire spoke happily.

"a party?"

"Yes, today I met a pirate group that I am a fan of, so we are going to have a party."

After that, Ethan went to the arms shop where the two swords he wanted were located.

As soon as he entered he was greeted by the owner of the arms shop called Ipponmatsu.

Ipponmatsu is a short man with black hair that goes to the sides of his head. He has tan skin and wears a blue shirt. His nose is red.

"Welcome to my shop, is there a specific type of weapon you want to buy?" Ipponmatsu smiled while looking at Ethan happily, no one has come to buy weapons from in a long time because all the pirates who come to this city are caught by Smoker.

"I want a sword." After Ethan said this, he no longer cared about Ipponmatsu but walked to a certain barrel in which there were many swords and it was written that one sword was worth 50,000 Belly.

'Another poor man, I thought he was a rich man by his looks.' Ipponmatsu sighed with regret when he saw that Ethan started searching for the cheapest swords in the shop.

While Ethan is looking for Sandai Kitetsu, a girl walks into the shop, completely depressed.

The girl didn't notice that Ethan was in the shop, she just walked over to Ipponmatsu and said, "Have you finished polishing my sword?"

"Why do you look sad? I've never seen you like this before." Ipponmatsu felt weird seeing her sad and depressed, he was used to seeing her carefree.

"I'm not sad. Please give me my Shigure, I have to go to the execution platform, to meet someone."

Ipponmatsu pulled her sword from under his desk and he gave it to her.

After taking the sword, the girl turned around to get out of the store but bumped into Ethan who was standing behind her while holding Sandai Kitetsu in his hand.

The girl wanted to apologize, but when she saw Ethan's features, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Why are you here, were you following me?"

Ethan smiled, "I want to say yes I follow you because I fell in love with you, but in fact I came to this store to buy a sword."

'Fall in love with me.' Tashigi's face turned red but her expression changed again when she remembered Ethan's identity, 'Fuck, don't forget he's a pirate.'

While Tashigi thought, Ethan walked over to Ipponmatsu, "I want to buy this sword."

Ethan's words caught Tashigi's attention again, then she noticed the sword in Ethan's hand and spoke before Ipponmatsu did, "Wait, I've seen that sword before."

After that, she took out a book about swords and started flipping through it until she found the required page, then she started telling Ethan about the information about this sword.

Then she looked at Ipponmatsu in astonishment, "Are you really going to sell this famous sword?"

"You are wrong that this sword is not for sale." Sweat flowed from Ipponmatsu's forehead.

"Yes, you certainly wouldn't sell this sword for 50,000 billy after you knew it was famous from this girl." Bartolomeo scoffed when he saw that Ipponmatsu was refusing to sell the sword.

"NO, YOU ARE WRONG. That is not the reason for my refusal to sell it." Then he started talking about how this sword is a cursed sword.

After hearing the full story about this sword, Tashigi felt anxious while looking at Ethan, "Ethan..."

All Tashigi said was Ethan's name, then she was interrupted by Ethan "I like the sword, I'll buy it."

"Are you crazy? This is a cursed sword, not a toy." Ipponmatsu cried out in shock as sweat trickled down his forehead.

Even Tashigi grabbed Ethan's arm and said anxiously, "Don't buy it, you're putting your life at risk."

"Are you worried about me? It makes me happy." Ethan smiled as he looked into Tashigi's eyes, blushing as she turned her face aside.

She sweetly puffed her cheeks while saying, "I'm not worried about you."

Ethan patted Tashigi's head, then said, "But I still want to buy this sword."

Concern reappeared on Tashigi's face when she saw that Ethan still wanted to buy the sword.

'Let's do what Zoro did in the anime.' Ethan smiled and said as the sword came out of its sheath, "Let's see if my luck beats the curse."

tossing Sandai Kitetsu up into the air and holding out his arm to see if it would be sliced off.

"STOP!" Tashigi really wanted to burst into tears as she saw the sword close to severing Ethan's hand.

But at this moment the sword missed Ethan's arm and fell on the wooden floor and pierced it.

Tashigi's legs were shaking and she almost fell to the ground but Ethan caught her, after that Tashigi burst into tears as she said 'Baka!' Frequently.

While Ethan tries to calm Tashigi, Ipponmatsu ran to the second floor to catch another sword, then presented it to Ethan.

Ipponmatsu was impressed by Ethan's skill, so he gave him both Sandai Kitetsu and Yubashiri, his family heirloom and his store's best sword.
