298- Lunarians

Ethan could have killed Egginhard in that attack and his body would disappear and not even the bones would remain but Ethan weakened the attack so that he wouldn't die as promised to Emma but there is another reason because he didn't kill him.

Ethan looked at Egginhard and a smile appeared on his face because he knew that this man was pretending to be unconscious and also Ethan knew that all the wounds on this man's body were superficial even though Ethan made an attack that should leave him severely injured and will not heal for months.

Before the attack hit Egginhard's body, Ethan noticed a flame emerging from his back, which hardened Egginhard's body within moments, which was why he wasn't injured too much.

Ethan pretended not to know anything and walked past Egginhard's body and headed toward Emma, ​​and as soon as he got past his body, Egginhard opened his eyes and got up very quickly, trying to stab Ethan in the back. But Ethan quickly turned around and grabbed the sword with his bare hands. "Oh, I can't believe you're pretending to pass out in order to attack me from behind. Would Gods Tribe do such a shameful thing?"

Egginhard retreated quickly and looked at Ethan with caution and some fear but before he could say anything Ethan started to speak, "You're going to say: How did you know that?"

"How did you...?" Egginhard frowned while thinking, 'Did he use Future Vision?'

Ethan chuckled. "I didn't use Future Vision!"

Egginhard's face turned pale, 'Can he read minds?'

"I didn't read your mind either." Ethan's smile widened making Egginhard nervous. "I'm just guessing what you're thinking by looking at your facial expressions."

Egginhard gritted his teeth and started speaking, "I dyed my hair black and put cosmetics on my skin to cover my original skin color. I even cut my wings. I did all this to hide my identity. So how do you know who I am?"

Ethan moved quickly and kicked Egginhard's leg, causing him to fall to the ground "A few moments ago I saw the flames appearing from your back."

Egginhard rolls on the ground to get away from Ethan then stands up and looks at Ethan, "Impossible! There are many devil fruits that can manipulate flames."

"But you are not a Devil Fruit user!" Ethan smiled widely, "Even if what I said was just a guess, your actions and words now prove that you are a Lunar."

"You bastard!!" Eigenhard grabbed his sword tightly and then flames began to appear from his back and his sword and the make-up on his body began to go away, showing his true skin and even his hair starting to return to its original white color.

Egginhard has been hiding his identity all his life, escaping from the World Government and never showing the abilities of his race in order not to be discovered by the World Government.

Even though he had become a powerful one of emperors without using his race advantages by controlling flames or hardening a body, there was still fear in his heart from the world government. So his identity was never revealed and he would have died old without anyone finding out, but Ethan's intervention destroyed everything.

"What do you want to do?" Ethan turned his head and looked at the pirates approaching from behind, led by two emperors.

"Do you think we came here just to watch you fight?" Abaddon said solemnly as he walked over to Ethan and pulled out his two swords that were hanging on his back.

"We came here to kill you!" Jockey said in a sarcastic tone as he led his subordinates to surround Ethan in cooperation with the Wailing Pirates and Swordsmen Pirates.

...

"Emma-sama, it's too bad! We should ask for help." Shakky takes out Den Den Mushi as she attempts to contact the Mercenary Guild upon seeing Ethan trapped.

"No need for that!" Emma rubbed Shakky's head and said gently, "Ethan can handle all these idiots easily."

At the same moment an arrow shot out at great speed and killed Den Den Mushi.

"We won't let you ask for help, little girl." The pirates began to encircle Shakky and Emma from all sides with a fierce smile, "You will be our hostages, and as long as you are in our hands Arthur will not dare to attack us."

Shakky stood in front of Emma and looked at the pirates angrily without fear. 'I will protect Emma-Sama and Emily-Chan no matter what.'

While a group of goofy pirates wanted to attack Emma and Shakky, a giant air blade shot out from behind them, splitting their bodies in the middle.

But the giant air blade kept moving towards Emma and Shakky. Shakky felt a little frightened and closed her eyes but the pain she expected didn't happen.

"Shakky, you're fine. You can open your eyes." Emma's beautiful voice entered Shakky's ears.

She opened her eyes and looked around in bewilderment and saw that the pirates behind them had been cut in half. "What happened?"

Shakky was sure that the giant air blade nearly hit her before she closed her eyes so she was puzzled seeing that she and Emma were safe while the pirates standing behind them had died.

...

Moments ago.

Ethan is surrounded by three Yonko and their crew and is about to start a fight but notices that some pirates are trying to attack Emma, Emily and Shakky.

Although he knew that Emma could handle the matter easily, he quickly pulled out the Ōdachi in his hand and swung it forcefully and shot a giant air blade.

The Yonko and their crews dodged the attack, although some of them couldn't dodge the attack and had their bodies cut off. But Ethan didn't care about them because he didn't target them in the first place with this attack but the pirates behind who are trying to attack Emma, ​​Emily and Shakky.

The pirates who attacked the girls were cut off and when the giant air blade reached the girls it passed through them and didn't affect them but as soon as it got past them it kept moving and cutting the pirates behind.

Egginhard and Abaddon, who were very skilled with the sword, looked at Ethan with a frown, not knowing how Ethan did it.

At their level of sword practice they also could control what they wanted to cut or not, if they didn't want to cut something they wouldn't even cut a paper with their very sharp swords.

But what Ethan did is completely different. Ethan used an air blade, and when the air blade is fired, everything that passes in its path will be cut and it is never possible to control what is cut.

The fact that the Air Blade cut off all the pirates but passed through Emma and Shakky without harming them is unbelievable.

"Damn, what is his sword mastery level?" Egginhard gritted his teeth and felt even more humiliated because Ethan had outdone him in sword wielding more than he expected.

"Oh, ooh! Are you really going to team up to kill Arthur? Fuffuffuffu, you really are a shame to be called a Yonko!" Kaiser starts laughing comically as he walks toward Egginhard.

"Look at yourself. You look like an idiot with the title of the world's strongest swordsman. I really want to know what people's expressions will be like when you hear that the world's strongest swordsman was defeated with a single sword move, Fuffuffuffu!" Kaiser stood beside Egginhard and laughed out loud.

'Damn, what is the captain doing? Aren't we supposed to ally with them to kill Arthur at this time? If all emperors ally, we can kill Arthur.' The Vice Captain of the merry Pirates really wanted to open his captain's head to check if he had a brain there or not.
