167- "Where is Sora"

"He's getting stronger so fast, I feel like he's getting farther away as if we can't reach him." Sanju sighed while she lighting a cigarette and sitting on a nearby rock.

"All we have to do is train more and I must definitely beat him in fencing at least." Zora gripped her swords tightly, feeling that there was a fire burning inside her, she was eager to return to the ship for more intense training.

"You're dreaming, mosshead." Sanju looked at Zora with disdain and then she looked at Ethan who was walking towards them with hearts in her eyes, "Dear Ethan~ he's perfect in everything you definitely won't outdo him."

As Sanju rushes towards Ethan with hearts in her eyes, an air compressed projectile spiraling is sent that cuts across the ground in front of Sanju and cuts the tree close in half, while at the same time some of Sanju's cut blond hair is flying in the air.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING, MOSSHEAD. Are you trying to kill me?" Sanju's anger was clear as she looked at Zora who was putting her katana back in the scabbard.

"Excuse me, it looks like my katana slipped by mistake." Zora said lightly, her tone of voice showing no hint that she was wrong or sorry for what happened.

"DO YOU THINK I WILL BELIEVE YOU?" After that a light fight started between Sanju and Zora.

Ethan approaches and notices that all the girls are gathered in the same place and notices that Zora and Sanju are squabbling and fighting again, "Why are they fighting?"

"Don't worry about them, they will stop soon." Nami sighed as she rested her chin on the palm of her hand.

After talking to Nami for a bit, Ethan walked over to Kaya and gently patted her shoulder while smiling softly. "Kaya, can you check out these two giants and treat them if possible?"

"No problem." Kaya nodded and then walked up to Ann and asked her to take her with her bird to the side of the two giants.

Ethan is sure that Dorry will survive even if he does not receive treatment from Kaya, but Brogy's condition is definitely serious and there is a high possibility that he will die but Ethan did not care about that because if Brogy dies he will turn him into a undead.

After Kaya, Ann, and Balloon left, Ethan looked at the rest of the girls and asked, "While you're hunting, did you find any humans other than us on this island?"

"Does any humans ever want to live here?" Hailey showed some skepticism.

"It is impossible to have people here." Carmen shivered as she remembered the terrifying animals she had seen.

"This island is very dangerous and any ordinary person will become prey to ferocious beasts." Makino supported the improbability of people on this island.

'I also did not feel the presence of any human on this island, which means that Mr. 3 and Miss Golden Week did not come here in the first place.' Ethan sat thinking while looking at the blue sky after the thunder clouds had dissipated.

'Somehow it makes sense that Crocodile would not send Mr 3 and his partner here since he knows that Mr 3 is not an opponent of someone who defeated Vice Admiral, Crocodile is probably assembling his forces in the Arabasta Kingdom in order to fight us.'

'Probably Crocodile will fight with all his might and will not underestimate us as he did in the original story when he underestimated Luffy.' Ethan smiled as he thought that whatever Crocodile did, he would eventually meet the same fate, or perhaps worse.

Then Ethan looked at all the girls and felt that someone was missing and then asked Lucy and Vivi, "Where is Sora?"

"My baby isn't here?!"Lucy blinked a few times and then looked around in bewilderment and then shocked, "Where did she go?"

After hearing this, Ethan really wanted to scream in anger but calmed himself down and moved very quickly while using the Observation Haki to expand his search.

Due to his currently turbulent feelings, his proficiency in using Observation Haki is much less and difficult to use.

'Ethan, calm down. She will be fine.' Ethan quickly calmed his feelings down but before he could use the Observation Haki he heard Freya's voice.

"Ethan, you don't need to look for her, I've already found her." Freya said in a loud voice which made Ethan who was away quickly come back, and then he and the girls followed Freya to the place where Sora is.

"I can't believe you weren't paying attention to the little girl while we were on this dangerous island." Makino scolds Lucy and Vivi, causing them to look down in apparent guilt.

The two of them were focused on the battle of Ethan and did not notice Sora's disappearance at all. They thought she was watching her daddy's battle as well.

Ethan didn't say anything to Lucy or Vivi but looked at Freya and urged her to hurry up.

After a while they arrived at the place where you should be in Sora and saw some blood on the ground which made all the girls' faces pale while Ethan's face was completely dark and unknown what he was thinking but something was clear that he was completely angry at this moment. 'Fortunately it's not Sora's blood, otherwise I would destroy this island.'

At this moment Freya spoke, pointing to a place a little further away, "Sora is over there."

The girls slowly raised their heads and looked in the direction that Freya was pointing and Ethan did the same, and at that moment everyone was relieved and shocked.

What they saw was that Sora was perfectly fine and also that she was sitting on the back of a five-meter-high tigress, it was clear from the smile on Sora's face that she was having a good time.

The tigress is white and striped with black and its shape looks great and because of its shape only, it could be sold to a nobleman at a very high price.

Sora noticed her daddy and the smile widened on her face and jumped off the tigress's back brilliantly and landed on the ground while running to her daddy quickly "Daddy~"

Ethan hugged his daughter and did not say anything. He remained calm and continued like this for a while until his feelings calmed down.

"Daddy~ Did something happen? Why don't you talk to Sora? Did Sora do something wrong?" Because Ethan had been quiet for a long time, Sora began to feel anxious and tears formed in her eyes.

Seeing this, Ethan wanted to calm her down and tell her that she had done nothing wrong but he resisted this urge and looked at his daughter seriously, "You made us worried because you suddenly disappeared, and also this island is very dangerous which made it worse."

Ethan hugged Sora tightly "Yes Sora, you did something wrong, and please don't do it again. Please don't make me feel like losing something dear to me again."

Sora does not understand but she can feel the feelings, she feels that her father is very sad at the moment. Tears started to fall from Sora's eyes, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to help the big cat because it was asking for help."
