120- “Ethan-senpai, I am your biggest fan.”

"Where the hell is the ship? Where is my gold?" Nami shouted in shock, as she looked at the sea in front of her.

"Maybe we forgot where we put the ship." Nojiko said while patting Nami's back.

"No, I'm sure the ship was here. My magic is still active here." Ann can still feel the magic that she, Ethan and Balloon used.

"Gold, was my gold stolen? I will never forgive anyone who did that." Nami cried while hitting the ground with her fist.

"It's weird, if Freya was in the ship, it's impossible for the ship to be stolen." Kaya can't believe that the ship was stolen while Freya is on it, because Freya is the ship spirit.

At this moment the girls saw three people running towards them, they were Sanju, Makino and another person they didn't recognize.

"Why is everyone standing here? Why don't you get on the ship." Sanju felt strange when she saw the girls standing in front of where they had put the ship without boarding it.

Before anyone answered Sanju's question, Freya appeared holding Sora in her arms. "The ship has been stolen by a group of girls. I can still control the ship to bring it back here but you have to go get the gold back."

Kaya : "Why weren't you on the ship?"

Makino : "Why was Sora with you?"

Sanju : "Weren't you with Ethan?"

Nami : "Why did you leave my poor gold alone? It's been stolen."

Freya answered with a smile : "I left the ship because I was bored, and I met Ethan while I was walking through town and he gave me Sora because he was about to do something important."

"And who is this girl?" Freya points to Carmen, although she knows who Carmen is but pretends not to know her.

Sanju started explaining about Carmen's identity and her desire to join the crew, and immediately after she finished explaining, Zora and Kuina arrived as well.

'Freya, where are the girls up?' Ethan looked at the dozens of men kneeling to him as he spoke to Freya in his mind.

[I'm with almost all the girls and we're headed to get the ship back.]

'Almost? So who is the one who is not with you from the girls?'

[Lucy and Alvida are the only ones not with me.]

After thinking for a moment, Ethan spoke, "Since the girls are going to Desire, I'll leave it to them to defeat her. While I'm going to get my clothes from Clara's Tailored Clothing and I'll get the swords from the sword shop."

Surely Ethan will not forget the swords that Zoro got in the anime, but now Kuina is alive and she can craft swords so Zora didn't have to buy swords, so Ethan is going to buy swords and then he will present them to Zora as a gift.

After Ethan had finished his conversation with Freya, he started to walk away, but Bartolomeo started calling him, "Ethan-senpai, please wait."

"What do you want? Speak quickly." Ethan frowned and then looked at Bartolome who had kneeled before him with dozens of people.

"My childhood friend and I are a big fan of you, please allow us to join your crew." Bartolomeo happily looked at Ethan and then took out a wanted poster from his pocket and showed it to Ethan.

"I couldn't recognize you because the wanted poster shows that you don't have a right arm, but considering your strength and appearance you must be Ethan-senpai."

Ethan marveled at this sudden turn of events, he hadn't expected that after he struck them they would kneel to him while asking to join his crew. "Your name is Bartolomeo, isn't it?"

"Yes"

"Why are you fan of me? I don't remember doing anything impressive." Ethan wasn't planning on letting Bartolomeo join his crew, but if he's loyal enough, he has plans for him.

"You haven't done anything impressive? Are you kidding me? You got a 100 million as your first bounty and you haven't even entered the Grand Line yet."

"In all the Four Seas, you're the only one who could do this feat with Lucy-Senpai. In the history of this world, not a single pirate of the Four Seas got this bounty before they entered the Grand Line."

"The only people with a bounty of 100 million are pirates in the Grand Line, and not every pirate who went to the Grand Line has a bounty of 100 million."

"Only strong, famous pirates had such a high bounty on their heads."

Bartolomeo began to chatter endlessly as he looked at Ethan with indescribable admiration.

"I'm sorry but I don't want you in my crew."

Bartolomeo was depressed but what Ethan said after that made him feel happy, "But can you create a separate pirate crew? I'm planning to create a pirate fleet and I want you to help me build this fleet."

"I will definitely do it, I will collect as many pirates as possible in order to work for you." Bartolomeo jumped happily.

"Good, but you have to understand a few things while making up your pirate crew." Ethan looked at Bartolomeo seriously, causing Bartolomeo to focus on every word Ethan said.

"1-Do not harm any civilians or any innocent person. 2-If someone asks you for help, help him and make the world publish a good picture of my fleet (of course the world government will distort the facts in the newspapers but the people you saved will be grateful to me)."

"3- Every person you save or every city you save, say that this was my command, let the world know me differently from the image of the rest of the pirates."

That Ethan wants to rule this world and if people think he is a good person it will be useful to bring down the world government and quickly create a new ruling system without any opposition.

"4-When you defeat pirates and think they will be useful in the future, enlist them in my fleet, and then tell them on the same terms I told you."

A big smile appeared on Ethan's face as he looked at Bartolomeo, "Bartolomeo, would you accept these terms and become one of the captains of my pirate fleet?"

Bartolomeo gestured to a member of his crew to clear two glasses of sake, then poured one for Ethan and the other for him, then looked at Ethan sternly, "I, Bartolomeo, accept all your instructions and conditions and want to be part of your fleet, please accept my eternal allegiance."

Ethan grabbed a cup of sake and drank it in one go, "Welcome to my fleet, Bartolomeo."

[Congratulations for unlocking a new feature for the system]

After half an hour.

"You're going to pay Straw Hat!" Buggy yelled at the top of his lungs to throw Lucy out of her thoughts.

"You'll pay for getting me arrested with the rest of my crew, and ever since we escaped I've been obsessed with getting revenge on you!" He said.

Lucy didn't care what Baggy had to say and spoke to Alvida, "Alvida, come here, the view is really great up here."

Baggy's mouth opened comically as he looked at Lucy, who had completely ignored him.

The citizens of Loguetown were looking at the interaction between the Buggy Pirates and the woman standing on top of the execution platform with a bewildered looks on their faces.

It was a strange interaction between two pirates that is if the woman on top of the execution platform was a pirate. Then a man from the crowd shouted to get everyone's attention.

"HEY!" He yelled as he pointed at Lucy attracting everyone's attention including Lucy.

"T-that woman.. is a rookie pirate with a 100 million berry bounty on her head!" He shouted causing everyone to look in great shock at Lucy who was smiling.

"I-It's Straw Hat Lucy!" He cried out in great fear while trembling. People everywhere started to get scared and wonder where the marines are at this time.

Alvida didn't care what was happening around her and attacked the Buggy pirates, Alvid swinging her mace and hitting the nearest pirate to her and making him fly while blood flows from his mouth.

When the pirates noticed that the battle had begun, dozens of pirates ran towards Alvida with the intention of defeating her, including Mohji who shouted, "I will avenge my previous defeat, this time I won't lose easily."

"Idiot, I'm much stronger than when I fought you before." Alvid swings her mace and hits Mohji and the lion he's riding on and she defeats them with one attack.

Moments later, she defeats dozens of pirates including Buggy who is considered too weak without the rest of his body parts.

At this moment Cabaji jumped from the building behind the execution stand and tried to arrest Lucy, but Lucy already noticed his presence and dodged the attack and she sent a single punch that hit his face and made him fall off the platform.

Then Lucy decided to start the show.

Lucy smiled before walking forward on the platform a bit before she stood on the edge and spread her arms out wide before she yelled at the top of her lungs.

"MY NAME IS MONKEY D. LUCY!" she screamed getting everyone's attention to her. "AND I AM THE WOMAN WHO IS GOING TO BE THE PIRATES QUEEN!"

At this moment, as if the heavens agreed with Lucy's words, the sky began to thunder loudly. Moments later, the clouds dissolved and the sun rose over where Lucy was standing.

Everyone looked at this in great shock, including Alvida.

Smoker who arrived at this moment was also shocked, and looked at this situation in disbelief.

Ethan, who had two swords hanging around his waist, looked at this and a big smile appeared on his face, and Bartolomeo, who was carrying a suitcase with clothes inside, looked at Lucy with indescribable admiration.

In fact, the loud sound of thunder and the disappearance of the clouds to make the sun rise on Lucy was Ethan's doing.
