Chapter206-One Piece: The Ship of Lust

"Why are you not affected?" The white-haired woman asked seriously, but Ethan didn't say anything and just stood there.

[Because of the sea stone, you lost 25% of your power.]

'I had thought that I would completely lose my strength upon touching the sea stone.' Ethan thought while looking at the handcuffs of the sea stone.

[Usually yes. But you have drunk the healing potion, so your body is much stronger and you also have a high immunity to the sea stone.]

[Over time you can gain complete immunity, if you start training while wearing the handcuffs of the sea stone.]

While Ethan was talking to Freya in his mind, Misty took advantage of this opportunity thinking he had lost his focus and she started attacking him.

Since her Jitte was still with Ethan, she picked up a sword from the ground in order to use it to attack.

Ethan noticed the attack intent and blocked all of her attacks as if he was unaffected by the handcuffs of the sea stone on his wrist or that's what it looked like to the people watching.

Even though Ethan managed to block all of her attacks, she noticed that he was weaker than before, "The sea stone still affects you."

"My current strength is enough to defeat you!" Ethan looked at her indifferently.

"San jōki!!" Misty opened her mouth and released acid vapor. This vapor is made of hydrochloric acid, which is corrosive.

When inhaled, it can result in upper respiratory tract irritation, leading to laryngeal edema, laryngeal spasm, and asphyxia. Concentrated hydrochloric acid causes similar corrosive injuries to exposed tissues and, can cause severe corrosive injury to the mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach.

As soon as the thick vapor entered Ethan's respiratory tract, he began to feel severe pain and shortness of breath, so he tried to get away quickly.

At this moment she took the opportunity to retrieve her Jitte from his hand and then turned her other hand into a very thick vapor and tried to punch it. "Moeru jōki!"

This is the same hot attack but she used her arm instead of her leg.

If Ethan could cover his body with dragon scales, he wouldn't have to worry about such attacks even if he received a direct hit, but unfortunately at the moment he couldn't.

Ethan swung the Ōdachi in a circular motion and released a spiral air blade, causing the vapor to disperse.

When the vapor gathered to form her arm, Ethan noticed that he had cut her hand and blood started to fall to the ground.

There was no change in her facial expression even though her hand was injured.

The two of them continued to stare at each other seriously, and after a while Ethan quickly moved and started attacking her with his two Ōdachi.

The two of them kept fighting with all their might for so long, that most of the girls finish their fight and started watching.

Both of them were serious during the fight and their strength almost matched but Ethan gradually gained the upper hand.

Injuries started to accumulate on her body and Ethan's, Ethan showed no mercy or sympathy when fighting this woman.

Long after the fight started, Misty looked at Ethan seriously and then threw a ball at him.

Misty collected a large amount of vapor and pressed it to form a ball, and she also made a great effort not to turn the vapor into water due to the pressure.

"Jōkibakuhatsu!!"

Ethan felt a great danger from this white ball so very quickly he used magic to surround himself with multiple layers of ice.

Once Ethan completed that, the white ball hit the ice and then a very strong explosion occurred as the hot vapor flowed into the surroundings very quickly destroying everything.

There were several Baroque work members close to the explosion and their bodies had completely evaporated and for the people who were not within the blast range but the hot vapor that spread and touched them caused within seconds their skin and flesh to melt due to the intense heat.

The girls who saw this quickly ran away and didn't let the vapor touch them, but they became very worried about Ethan.

After a while, the vapor blocking their vision disappeared and they could only see the white-haired woman, while Ethan and the ice he made were gone and nothing was left.

Misty looked at where Ethan was previously and then sighed, and a hint of sadness appeared in her eyes. "I didn't want to use this technique but you are very strong and I wasn't sure of your defeat and if we keep fighting there is a good chance I will lose."

After saying that, she walked over to the girls and said seriously, "Give up if you don't want to....."

"Oi! I didn't die." Misty quickly turned around and saw Ethan standing behind her with a serious face as he punched her in the stomach so hard.

Her body was tossed away and fell 15 meters away after receiving such a powerful punch.

'I lost focus for a moment and he took advantage of that.' Misty grabbed her stomach as she stood up with difficulty.

Ethan quickly moved towards her and sent another punch, but she was ready this time and she blocked her arm while sending a kick towards his stomach.

But Ethan grabbed her leg and before Ethan could take any further step her leg turned into a vapor and slipped out of his hand.

After that, the fight continued between them and both showed prowess in martial arts.

Ethan didn't use his two Ōdachi because the explosion earlier threw it back, while Misty didn't use her Jitte because she dropped it when Ethan punched her.

While the two of them were fighting using their hands, The other end of the handcuffs of the sea stone was attached on Misty's wrist.

Ethan "..."
Misty "..."
The girls "..."

Ethan didn't plan for it, so he was also shocked.

Misty became weak and lost most of her strength due to the sea stone causing a slight smile to appear on Ethan's face. 'I've never noticed that before but this woman is really beautiful.'
