244- Mission: Find Amatsuki Toki!

"Sensei!" The children ran towards him and hugged and were very happy that he had woken up.

After talking to his disciples for a bit, he walked toward Tsuru who was looking at him in shock, "Miss, can you take me to a quiet room? I need to treat my injuries."

"Yes, follow me." Tsuru nodded and led him into a quiet room with four beds, but no one was inside. "Me and the females on the ship sleep in this room, but since it's work time, no one will use it until night."

Ethan nodded, closed the door, sat on one of the beds, and began removing the spacetime energy from his wounds.

.....

Right after Ethan enters the room, the Commodore and the rest of the marines arrived at the ship and upon seeing all the pirates tied up, they were shocked.

"What happened here?" Old Commodore asked one of the Marines who had stayed on the ship.

This marine started explaining everything he saw because he was conscious when Ethan defeated all the pirates.

"What? Are you saying that someone seriously injured could do all this?" Sengoku opened his eyes wide in shock.

"interesting." Garp became excited, "I want to fight him."

"Shut up, didn't you hear what he said?" Sengoku looked at Garp in annoyance because his colleague is very reckless and Ethan is not their colleague or friend so he might consider it disrespectful to him, "He will beat you in an instant so don't embarrass yourself."

"What did you say?" Garp grabbed Sengoku by the collar and the two then started fighting, not stopping until the old Commodore punched them.

The commodore decided to go meet Ethan so a Marine asked about it and he was told he was resting in one of the rooms so he went there and saw all the kids standing at the door with Tsuru "Tsuru, is he inside?"

Tsuru saluted the commodore and said, "Yes, but he said he wanted to treat his injuries and didn't want anyone to disturb him."

"Then we should come later."

....

After a few hours, Ethan finally absorbed the last of the spacetime energy on his wounds and his injuries started to heal so quickly that they could be seen with the naked eye but still needed an entire day for them to fully recover.

Yes, Ethan decided to absorb spacetime energy instead of removing it and because of that he became more in control of spacetime energy.

Ethan sighed and then spoke to the system, "Freya, where am I? And where are the girls?"

[Cannot find Freya, search for alternative AI is underway...]

"What? What's going on here?" Ethan frowned.

[An alternative artificial intelligence has been found...]

[Artificial intelligence is being linked with the system..]

[Hello host, I am the alternate AI.]

Ethan was expecting a voice to appear in his mind but that didn't happen and instead a system window appeared in front of him. 'Does this mean that AI can't talk? But that doesn't matter at the moment.'

"Where am I? What happened with Freya?" Ethan starts asking questions.

[For some mysterious reason, you have been taken back to the past over 50 years on one of the deserted islands of the Grand Line.]

[For the same reason, it is not possible to contact Freya anymore.]

Ethan had guessed that this would happen due to the chaos of spacetime he was inside, but upon hearing that he had gone back in time more than fifty years, he was shocked.

"I was thinking of training my ability to control time in order to go back to the future, but that's a good idea too." Ethan smiled as he thought of that beautiful girl.

[New mission available]

[mission: Make the blue-haired girl yours!

objective: Tsuru is a beautiful woman and it is good to make her a part of your harem.

Reward: 10,000 Points.]

"Blue-haired girl? Tsuru? Impossible.." Ethan opened his eyes wide when he realized that the girl he had saved was Tsuru, the old woman from the Marines.

After he came out of his shock, a big smile formed on his face, 'I don't mind getting her. After all, she's so pretty.'

....

The door to the room opened and Ethan walked out.

He looked around and saw his disciples and Tsuru rushing towards him.

"Sensei, have you finished treating your injuries?" Little Isoka hugged Ethan's leg, looking a little worried.

"I'm fine, tomorrow I will be fully recovered." Ethan let out a chuckle while patting the little girl's head.

All of his students were happy with this news but Tsuru was doubtful because this type of injury could take months to fully recover from.

However, she did not express her doubts and invited him to lunch, "Since you can walk, come with us to lunch, and the Commodore also wants to meet you."

Ethan agreed and went to dinner with this beautiful girl and the old commodore, but he cared more about the beautiful girl than the old man and talked to her more while eating.

After they finished eating lunch, the Commodore looked at Ethan and said with a smile, "You haven't told us your name yet, can you tell us that? By the way, my name is Gohan."

"My name is Arthur. Nice to see you!" Ethan did not use his real name because this might cause himself problems in the future.

"I'm Garp, this person with a sullen face is Sengoku, and the girl sitting next to you is Tsuru." Garp started laughing while patting his stomach, swollen from eating too much.

"You idiot who is the sullen face?" The two of them quarreled again but as usual a few punches from the old man stopped the quarrel and made them calm.

"I'm sorry for the behavior of these two." The old man sighed and apologized to Ethan.

"It's okay, I'm not bothered by that." In fact, Ethan was enjoying seeing Garp get hit like that.

After that the old man spoke to Ethan for a while and then looked at him seriously, "What do you think about joining the Marines? You are a very strong person and if you pass the Marines exam you may be promoted directly to Rear Admiral."

"I'm really thankful that you tried to save and treat me, but sorry old man, I don't plan on joining the Marines." His joining the Marine will hinder his movements and this will hinder him while searching for Amatsuki Toki.

The old man nodded and did not force him to join in, "If you change your mind in the future, the Marines' doors will always be open for you."

After that, Ethan and his students stayed with the Marines because they did not have a ship or boat to sail with, so they relied on the Marines to deliver them to an inhabited island.
