*********

After resting a bit, they moved into Alicia's bedroom and continued to do so there, while time moved quickly and in the blink of an eye an entire month had passed.

This month, Erinys has come to visit Alicia three times, fortunately Alicia has the ability to sense if someone has entered her domain or not.

And Erinys is the type to send a message that she will pay a visit and not the kind who makes a surprise visit.

So the only time Ethan and Alicia stop having sex is when Erinys visits them.

Also, Ethan and Erinys' relationship improved, after they apologized to each other in their second meeting.

During the three visits to Erinys, Ethan learns that Alicia plans to make him the god of lust and sex, and also learns that Erinys has discovered his existence in the world of One Piece because the Death Knight he created has stolen Erinys' death energy.

Fortunately she did not kill him at that point and went to meet Alicia.

Ethan decides that when he returns to the world of One Piece he will teach Freya a good lesson because she has given him false information that the Gods of Death will not notice when Alex absorbs death energy in the Drum kingdom.

.....

"The month has passed so quickly, your soul can't stand staying here any longer with your current strength." Alicia smiled bitterly.

"Don't worry, I'm going to get stronger and we'll be together longer." Ethan hugged her from the waist and gave her a gentle kiss.

Erinys stood aside and did not interrupt their intimate moment unlike last time, because she knows it will be a long time until Alicia meets Ethan again.

For Ethan, he separated from Alicia for only two months and then met her again, but for Alicia it has been decades since she met him.

The reason is the difference in the flow of time between the realm of gods and the realm of mortals.

Ethan and Alicia stopped kissing and looked at each other's eyes for a while and then Ethan disappeared and returned to the world of One Piece.

Erinys noticed the sad look on Alicia's face when Ethan disappeared so she approached her and hugged her from behind, "Alicia, don't worry one day he'll be strong enough to stay with you forever."

"You're right." Alicia smiled while looking up at the sky.

...

Ethan's soul returned to his body.

He opened his eyes and looked around and found that he was lying on a bed too small for his size and also noticed that Sora was sitting on his chest and looked into his eyes with joy and then hugged him. "Daddy~ Sora was worried."

"I'm sorry for making you feel anxious, my little princess." Ethan picked her up and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

Then he looked at the girls in the room, "How long has it been since I've been unconscious?"

"Three hours ago." Kaya sighed while feeling relief that Ethan had woken up, the reason for Ethan losing consciousness is completely unknown and even Kureha couldn't figure out why he lost consciousness.

"I knew you were fine." Lucy hugged Ethan and started to laugh cheerfully, "But I didn't think you'd pass out because of a snowball."

Ethan patted her head, "I'm not so weak as to lose consciousness because of a snowball, even a normal human without strength wouldn't lose consciousness, not to mention my body wouldn't get a single scratch even if it was hit by a cannonball."

"Then let's try the cannonballs next time." Lucy laughed as the girls looked at her in fear. Although Ethan and Lucy wouldn't get hurt if the snowballs were replaced by the cannonballs, many girls would get hurt so they definitely didn't want to be involved in this.

"Lucy, we won't do that. It's too dangerous." Ethan notices the girls' anxiety and then convinces Lucy to give up using cannonballs for play.

Then Ethan looked at them with a sweet smile. "Anyway, are you ready to set sail?"

"Aye captain!" The girls said uniformly.

"Then let's go."

....

They came out of the castle and saw Kureha, Dalton, and a group of villagers standing ready, holding their weapons, while looking at a knight in dark gray armor riding on a giant, air-walking horse.

Both Lucy and Sora looked at that knight with shining eyes, "Cool~"

'I want to get similar armor. I wonder if he will sell it to us.' Lucy was excited about the armor.

But Sora's goal was different, 'That horse can walk on air, Sora want to get it.'

Ethan walked forward and calmed the villagers and told them that the knight was an acquaintance. Ethan looked at the Death Knight and asked, "Alex, are you done with that?"

Ethan apparently meant the process of absorbing death energy, "Yes, at first it was difficult but after a while it became very easy and I was able to finish in a short period of time."

A smile appeared on Ethan's face. 'It appears that Erinys helped him.'

After that, Ethan gave him the eternal pose, which was handed to him by Dragon.

"This is the eternal pose that leads to the Baru Kingdom." Alex nodded and took it from Ethan's hand and then his horse started running towards the direction that the eternal pose was pointing to.

Kureha calls Chopper into the castle.

Then, contrary to the original story, Kureha said goodbye to Chopper in a fitting manner.

they got out to meet the crew while Chopper pulling her carriage.

The number of crew members is very large, so certainly not all of them will be able to ride in the carriage.

So Ann, Nami, Nojiko, and Kaya will be riding on the back of the Balloon.

Sora, Ethan, Lucy, Makino and Alvida will ride on the back of a tigress.

The rest of the crew got up on the carriage and Chopper pull it toward a rope line that she usually use.

Then they start to go down pretty fast. And then they continued on toward the anchorage, but then they heard the sound of fire from the cannons from the castle.

When Ethan and the girls begin to descend from the mountain, Kureha gives orders to the villagers to prepare the cannons.

The villagers can't refuse her, they're still scared of her. So they take all the cannons out. Kureha instruct them to aim the cannons to the sky.

Then the villagers load it with some special cannonballs from Kureha. After they load all the cannons, they shoot them at the same time.

The cannonballs explode, pouring out a lot of pink solution particles instead of fire & smoke. The solution particles covering the sky and mix with the cloud and snow that fall from the sky.

The sky turn into pink color, and paired with the mountain it looks like a Sakura tree blooming on this winter island. Pairing with bright moonlight makig it looks really pretty and everyone mesmerized by it.

Chopper cries seeing this. Finally, Hiruluk's dream has been fulfilled by Dr.Kureha, and Chopper can see it herself. Now she will fulfill her own dream so she can make them proud.
