Violet: I have something to discuss with Ethan.

The evening had fallen.

In the western sky, the sun was gracefully setting, painting the clouds with shades of fiery red, creating a breathtaking spectacle. On the Leviathan Fang's deck, anticipation filled the air.

Every table and chair had been meticulously arranged, adorned with sumptuous dishes and fine wines.

As the crew gathered around, taking their seats, they eagerly awaited the commencement of the grand banquet.

Amidst the gathering, Ethan occupied the central spot and rose to his feet, his voice resounding across the deck.

"My dear crewmates, cease your idle chatter and prepare to dine heartily tonight. Let the drinks flow freely, but let none of us succumb to inebriation." His words were met with resounding applause and enthusiastic cheers from those in attendance.

"Captain Ethan, you're unparalleled! We adore you!"

"Long live Captain Ethan!"

"I'm so thrilled, I might shed a tear,~~"

"Enough talk, bring forth the libations!"

"I'm going to challenge him! In my town, during festivals, I am known by the title of the Great Drinker."

"Brothers, this guy is too boastful, let's put him in his place... "

The scene was electric, filled with laughter and jubilation, resonating throughout the entire ship.

Pato glanced at Bepo and grinned, saying, "Come, let's raise our cups high; we won't leave until we're all a bit tipsy tonight."

Bepo, however, shook his head vigorously and politely declined, "No, no, I'm not much of a drinker. Please forgive me, Pato!"

"Captain, this marks our first shared drink despite our long association. Care to test our drinking prowess against each other? Wiiiihahahaha..."Burgess pounded the table and invited a friendly competition.

Doc Q savored his meal, though his grin remained rather unsettling. He cleared his throat and remarked, "The Captain's immunity to intoxication is well-known, hehe~~"

Law maintained his characteristic stoicism, asserting, "Your speculation is unfounded. Such a thing is inconceivable. after all, our Captain consumed the repel-repel fruit. Alcohol has no hold over him. It's like drinking water to him."

Hawkins nodded in agreement, his voice low, "When it comes to alcohol, no one can match our Captain."

Gin rose, raising his glass in a respectful gesture toward Ethan. "Captain, let us begin."

Lafitte waved casually and smiled, "Why limit it to just the two of you? Let's all join in; it's no fun with only a pair."

"Indeed, let's celebrate together. What do you say?"

Kuro lifted his glass, revealing an unusual smile. "Let's keep it light and enjoy our drinks!"

Without a word, Ethan raised his cup and downed the wine.

And so, everyone indulged in drink and conversation, the atmosphere pulsing with excitement.

Snapped!

Ethan lit a cigarette, leaned back in his chair, gazing up at the night sky, smoking silently.

Reiju observed Baccarat, her eyes sparkling with a sweet smile gracing her lovely face. She remarked gently, "Everyone is so content, including Ethan."

"Absolutely."

Baccarat took a sip from his glass, her brows furrowing slightly. She smiled and added, "Our crew is growing stronger, and everything is progressing favorably."

"Why wouldn't Ethan be pleased? There's every reason to be."

Nami glanced at Carina, a playful grin on her face. "How are you holding up? Can you keep up with me? Hahaha..."

Carina responded with a disdainful smile and a snort. "Women must rely on their wit to survive, but they mustn't overindulge in alcohol. Challenge accepted!"

"You two are incredible. This princess is the worst drinker of the lot. Woo woo woo..."Perona sat in her chair, her expression one of despondency. She was vexed.

Kaya regarded her with a gentle and elegant smile, blinking her beautiful eyes. "That's alright. I'm not much of a drinker either."

"Having me by your side will be advantageous, won't it?"

Honey Queen's sweet smile was directed at Betty. "I haven't felt this joyous in ages. Let's partake."

Betty glanced at her, a sly grin on her lips. "Thinking of out-drinking me, are you? Stop daydreaming and drink!"

Moodie savored her meal, her gaze fixed on Carmen. She praised her with a sweet smile. "Your culinary skills are exquisite."

"Compliments to you; it's truly remarkable."

Carmen, leaning back with a glass in hand, echoed the sentiment. "You're impressive yourself. Your wine is delightful."

Makino observed the two, her beautiful eyes twinkling. She spoke gently and warmly, "Enough with the flattery. You both excel in your respective arts."

"In my opinion, you're all incredibly talented—culinary artistry and fine winemaking. You're all remarkable."

Amidst the revelry, Burgess bellowed heartily, "Drink, my friends! Don't sit idly; let's indulge! Wiiiihahahaha..."

"Drink up; we won't return until we're all intoxicated~~"

And so, the banquet continued, marked by lively conversation and hearty drinking, an unending celebration...

Two days later.

Dressrosa, in a concealed chamber.

A woman stood by the window, adorned in a flamenco dance dress, her figure slender and alluring.

"Once I make this call, there's no turning back, alas..."

Violet gazed at the blue sky and white clouds beyond the window, her flawless countenance etched with concern.

She had exhausted every means to obtain Ethan's contact information and had now decided to reach out herself.

But doubt gnawed at her. Should she make the call? What if Ethan divulged her intentions to Doflamingo?

"No, after my research, Ethan is surrounded by many women whom he cherishes dearly."

"He's a lover of beauty, and I can use that to my advantage."

"As long as he agrees to aid me in saving Dressrosa, I'll gladly become his companion."

"Love, as they say, is unreliable. Men often deceive, seeking to possess a woman's body."

"If he takes a liking to me and assists me, it's a small price to pay."

"Even if it means enduring hardships, I'll accept them."

"The priority is making my father happy and ensuring the citizens' well-being."

"Let's put aside doubts, make that call, and secure his help."

"Even if it means giving my all, I won't hesitate!"

Without further ado, she retrieved a transponder snail and dialed the number...

...

 Inside the training room, 

"I'm so delighted; banquets are truly a wonderful experience."Carina, eyes shimmering chimed in with a smile, "I wish we could have banquets more often. The joy they bring is contagious."

Perona, floating in the air, nodded vigorously, her laughter ringing out, "Absolutely, this princess adores banquets. I find them most delightful, Horohorohorohorohoro~~"

Honey Queen, however, gave the two a skeptical look, her tone irritated, "You two are overthinking it. Frequent banquets aren't novel at all."

"The real question is, why would someone like Ethan waste time on such frivolous gatherings?"

Betty, taking a drag from her cigarette, remained composed as always, "Even when we enter the Grand Line, such festivities will be scarce."

"If you're looking forward to another banquet, you'll have to defeat Crocodile and become a Shichibukai for that to happen." Said Moodie, her fair face adorned with a sweet smile, stroked her pale golden hair, concurring, "I'd be content with just one of these banquets."

"For Ethan, a training robot, freeing up is an exceedingly rare occurrence."

"And as for the next one, I don't even dare to dream about it."

Makino, her gentle and elegant demeanor unwavering, nodded in agreement, "Men should be this way ambitious and diligently working towards becoming stronger."

"It's not right to indulge in revelry all the time."

Makino turned her gaze towards the others, her charming smile in place, "I encounter many individuals like that in the tavern I run."

"They do nothing but drink day in and day out, their overall mental state is poor, and they lack direction in life."

Carmen shrugged, offering a counterpoint, "I don't oppose self-improvement, but working as relentlessly as Ethan might be a bit excessive."

Nami waved her hands, her big eyes twinkling, her tone light, "Don't fret, everyone."

"In a few days, we'll reach Logue Town, then we'll set sail for the Grand Line, and soon we'll reach Alabasta."

"In any case, we plan to become a Shichibukai before the captain's battle."

Nojiko brushed her blue hair and smiled softly, "Logue Town, also known as the 'Town at the Beginning and End.'"

"It's renowned not just in East Blue but globally, captivating the world's attention."

Reiju, lounging with legs crossed, rested her chin on her delicate jade hand, giving a nod of agreement, "Logue Town is indeed famous, particularly because it's where One Piece's journey begins and ends."

"And every pirate must be aware of this town's significance."

Nami added, "We started from East Blue, so passing through Logue Town on our way to the Grand Line is inevitable."

"After we arrive, let's explore and see what sets it apart."

At that moment, a clear sound emanated from the training room—an incoming call.

*Pere pere pere pere pere pere..*.A Den Den Mushi, tucked away in Baccarat's drawer, chirped unexpectedly.

The women exchanged puzzled glances, for Baccarat's Den Den Mushi had never rung before.

"This is unusual. Who could be calling?"

Honey Queen stared at the drawer, perplexed, "I always thought this Den Den Mushi was useless. I didn't expect it to ring."

"Strange. Who might this be?"

Betty, her indifference unshaken, exhaled another puff of smoke, "What's the plan? You'll know once you answer."

Baccarat slowly opened the drawer and gingerly placed the purple Den Den Mushi on the table.

Without hesitation, she picked up the receiver and answered the call.

"Is this Ethan?" The Den Den Mushi displayed an image of Violet, with her black hair and beautiful face.

It was evident that the woman on the other end was exceptionally beautiful.

The women paused for a moment, realizing it was a woman on the line a stunning one at that.

"Who's this? Have we met her before?" Carina frowned, her delicate brows furrowing with curiosity.

Perona, floating above, shook her head, "I've never seen her before. No idea who she is."

 Baccarat brushed back her crimson hair, her arched eyebrows showing a friendly smile as she inquired, "May I ask who you are?"

Silence lingered on the other end, with no immediate response from Violet.

She hadn't anticipated this turn of events.

Typically, if she called, Ethan himself would answer.

Instead, a woman picked up.

But she remained undeterred; Violet couldn't let this deter her. With a smile, she continued, "My name is Violet, and I need to discuss something with Ethan."

"Could you please hand him the Den Den Mushi? I want to speak with him privately. Thank you!"

Honey Queen looked at Betty and offered a faint smile as she whispered, "This woman seems quite polite. I believe she has a good disposition."

Betty shrugged, her voice soft, "Who knows? I don't know her anyway."

At that moment, Baccarat's smile remained, and she responded in a kind, gracious tone, "Certainly, please wait for a moment. I'll ask him for you."

Baccarat knew Ethan's habits best.

He would personally handle important Den Den Mushis, while the ones like this were of little consequence.

The Den Den Mushi in her hand wasn't a top priority for Ethan.

On the other side, a pause ensued, and the Den Den Mushi mimicked Violet's thoughtful expression with remarkable realism.

Revealing crucial information in front of outsiders was out of the question.

"Please inform Ethan that my matter is of great importance."

"I would appreciate the opportunity to speak with him privately. Kindly convey my request. Thank you!"
