No POV:

Ethan woke up. The sun was shining. The air smelled oddly like fresh flowers. Then he noticed a weight on his chest. When he looked down, his face burned dark red and steam came from his ear. For on him was Nico Robin, who was currently snuggling into his chest, fast asleep with his wing still wrapped tightly around her. 'Oh god, How do I escape from this?' he thought to himself. Before he could do anything, the crew woke up. 'No!' he screamed in his mind. "Robin, please wake up!" he whispered. Robin just groaned a little and held to his frame even closer. Ethan blushed even harder. He tried to free himself but to no avail. Then..."Well, well, well. Look who we have here." Ethan gulped, then slowly looked up. He saw the grinning faces of his crew mates besides Sanji, who looked like the Devil himself. "I am going to poison your food some day." he mouthed. Meanwhile, Nami took out a camera and started to take photos. She smirked. "This is karma for calling us those nicknames." she cackled. "Well to be fair, besides Tanuki's nickname, everyone else's are pretty accurate." he said. Before they could do horrible things to him however, Robin woke up. "Mmm, morning, Ethan-kun. Thank you for warming me up last night." she spoke. Of course, Sanji took this the wrong way. "YOU CORRUPTED ROBIN-CHWANN?! FORGET POISONING YOUR FOOD, I'M GONNA KILL YOU RIGHT NOW!" he roared with hell fire burning behind him. A bewildered Robin sweatdropped as Sanji started to beat up Ethan. "So, did you guys really did it?" Nami asked with a smirk. "No, all he did was tell me his past and cover me with his wing to keep me warm." she replied. The rest of the crew had disappointed looks on their faces. Then Sanji joined them, dragging a smoking Ethan behind him. He had a sheepish look on his face. "Sorry about that Ethan, it was a misunderstanding! Honest!" he said. Apparently, he listened to Robin's explanation. "Your...life...is...forfeit." replied Ethan in a rasping demonic voice. "I'll give you want!" Sanji pleaded. "All is forgiven." Ethan immediately said. Everyone sweatdropped. Then Usopp had an announcement to make. "Moving on, I witnessed a strange event. I woke up really early to fix the Merry, but when I arrived, the ship was fixed. Even stranger, their was an outline of a little girl." he said. "Must've been the ship's spirit." said Ethan. "What? Does that we have a g-g-ghost on our ship?!" asked Usopp. Ethan shook his head. "It's a manifestation of the ship's soul. It usually appears when we feel...affection for the ship, like it's part of us. I always thought that it was just a legend until today." he explained. The crew nodded. After Sanji served breakfast, the crew prepared to move the Going Merry off the alter. Usopp came up with the idea of using a sky shark to pull the Merry. He did it by riding on the boat that he, Luffy, and Sanji sailed on and using Chopper as bait. After that, the pirates split into two groups. Group 1 consisted of Sanji, Nami, and Usopp. Their purpose was to guide the Merry to a location in order to escape the Upper Yard after the gold was found. Gan Fall decided to join them. Group 2 consisted of Luffy, Zoro, Ethan, Chopper, and Robin. Their objective was to find the gold. "We'll meet after the treasure hunt is complete!" yelled Nami as she and her group sailed away. "Right then! Let's go guys! It's treasure hunting time!" declared Luffy. And off they marched, into the forest where the priests lurked, waiting for them. Ethan noticed something odd as he walked. Chopper seemed to have noticed it as well. "Hey guys? I feel a if we're being surrounded by moving trees." said Ethan. "Oh, so I'm not going crazy?" asked Chopper. Ethan nodded. Then suddenly, a giant blue snake rushed out of the trees and started to attack them. The crew started to run. Zoro cut at it with his swords. "What the hell?! It's scales are too thick!" he yelled in annoyance. "Light Ray Spear!" Ethan cried as he formed a spear of light. This he threw at the snake. It did no damage. "Wow, it's scales really are thick." he commented. After some more fighting, the group got separated. "Robin? Zoro? Luffy? Chopper? You guys there?" he yelled. When no one answered, he grew his wings and flew above the forest. He then headed south. "Hopefully I will meet some of my crew mates." he said to himself. And he flew southward, towards some distant ruins. After a short while, he landed near the ruins and took out some test tubes and his sword. He walked over to an old building and prepared to cut off a tiny corner before a bunch of hands stopped him. Ethan turned and saw Robin with a knowing look. "I wish you would stop that, Ethan-kun." she said gently. "It's just a tiny corner, Robin-chan." replied Ethan. Before Robin could argue against Ethan, their conversation was interrupted by what looked like a skypeian with goat horns. He stood on top of the ruins, and a sizable chunk of rock broke free. "Stay back! I am one of God's Divine Soldiers! If you go any further, you'll end up in God's shrine. And that would be considered very offensive!" he bleated. He was met with a pair of glares. "Get down from there! You don't seem to realize the historical importance of this place!" she yelled indignantly. "I'm no archaeologist, but I still hold relics and ancient sites with some level of importance! So you better come down this instant!" Ethan added. "Well, too bad! You'll be cut down by my axe-dial. God has decreed it!" he yelled, adopting a stance. "You want to fight him? He did damage that structure a bit more than necessary." offered Ethan. "Seis Fleurs: Twist!" Robin said. At once, six arms grabbed the goat-man and twisted his body with a loud 'Crack'. She then picked up the chunk from earlier and frowned. "Just awful." she said to herself. Ethan looked a little scared. "Did I ever tell you how glad I am that you're on our side?" asked he suddenly. Robin smiled. "Well, at least he gave me my sample." said Ethan as he plucked the chunk from her hands. He then crushed it into powder and poured the dust into the tube. "Now then, let's find that gold." said Ethan. "Yes, we really should, shouldn't we." said Robin. The two started to walk down the broken road.

After walking some more, the duo encountered some more buildings. Ethan started to reach his sword before Robin gently pushed his arm back down. "Not in front of me." she said. Ethan nodded, a depressed aura surrounding him. Robin started to study the ruins while Ethan collected a few bits of vegetation. Then out of nowhere, a large, fat man appeared. "Why, hello there cutie pie." he leered at Robin. Ethan glared at the man, his eyes flashing blue. "Who are you?" he snarled. "I am Commander Yama of the Divine Soldiers. What are you doing here?" asked Yama. "She's studying the city. I'm collecting the place's unique vegetation." replied Ethan. "What sort of fools study the past? The past doesn't matter and should cease to exist, like this! Punch Mountain!" he yelled as he smashed a structure. Ethan's eyes widened with horror while Robin's eyes grew cold with anger. "Stop that! Do you even recognize the historical value of this city?" she questioned. Yama just yelled and charged. "Punch Mountain!" he yelled. The alchemist and the archaeologist quickly backed up against a wall. "Shit!" said Ethan. He pushed Robin out of the way just as Yama smashed his fist into his face. "Ethan!" she cried out. However, it was Yama who cried out in pain while Ethan and the wall seemed to be fine. "Armament!" yelled Ethan. "You Skypeians only know Observation Haki, but I know so much more! This is the power of the Color of Armament!" Yama yelled again in response and charged. Ethan coated the ruins with Haki and ran. Robin followed. "Can you scout out a place without any ruins with your power? Armament Haki is taxing to the body if it's used too much, and to be honest, I don't have a very strong desire to protect these ruins." explained Ethan. Robin nodded, though a little disappointed. "Cincuenta Fleur! I found one!" said Robin. "Lead us to it!" yelled Ethan. The two ran until they ended up in a clearing near a cliff. A few minutes later, Yama arrived. Ethan panted. "I can swear (pant) he was (pant) hammering away (pant) at the ruins (pant) while we were running!" he gasped. "I even managed to break a few of your precious history!" boasted Yama, confirming his defeat. Ethan roared in rage and morphed into Judge. Haki covered his entire body, inverting his form into a black-and-white form while Robin dropped her pack beside her. "Even if you repent now, we won't forgive you." they said simultaneously. Yama screamed as he jumped up high in the air towards them. "Drop Mountain!" he roared. "Treinta Fleurs: Hang!" said Robin as she crossed her arms. At once, arms sprouted from overhead vines and fought Yama. His own momentum caused his face to be smashed into a tree. Robin seemed to be visibly strained. "He's so heavy!" she gasped as she let go of Yama. Almost immediately, he somersaulted above them. When he stopped, he revealed a sash with 10 axe dials. "10 Axe Combo, Axe Mountain!" he screeched as he dropped towards them. Ethan quickly formed a ball of light in front of his mouth, then swallowed it. "Heliosis!" he roared as he launched the ball towardas Yama. It exploded on contact and Yama was blasted onto the ground, charred and smoking. He shakily stood up and walked towards them. "I'll kill you! 10 Axe Combo, Axe Mountain!" he yelled as he jumped again. This time, Ethan choked Yama as well as covering his eyes while Robin turned the sash that contained the dials so that it faced Yama instead. He slammed against another tree and fell down bleeding heavily. Immediately, Ethan lifted up Yama's face by his hair so that Robin could talk to him. "You destroyed a treasure so precious that it can't be repaired. It's so rare, it's priceless. History repeats itself, yes, but no one can go back in time. Not only that, my friend had to unnecessarily expend his strength to protect the very things I hold dear to me. You'll pay for that." she said. "F-forgive me." slurred Yama. "Unfortunately Commander, your sins are too grave. You destroyed artifacts when you didn't need to. You destroyed large parts of the ruins not for research but for your own sick pleasure. But the worst of all, you made Robin upset. The final verdict: your life is forfeit." said Ethan."Then, I'll just have to kill you right now!" roared Yama as he reached for Ethan. "Cuatro Fleurs: Clutch!" said Robin. Immediately, four arms broke Yama's fingers. As he screamed in pain, Ethan faced Robin. "Would you like to have the honor, Robin-hime?" he asked. "How gallant of you. Cien Fleurs: Delphinium!" she cried out. Immediately, arms sprouted, forming a path towards the cliff. The arms rolled Yama towards the cliff and threw him off. "It's too late for forgiveness." she said to Yama's pleas. "Ocho Fleurs: Clutch!" The sound of a spine breaking was closely followed by a crash. Ethan shivered as he turned off his Haki and morphed back into a human. "I have mentioned that I'm glad we're not enemies, right?" said Ethan. Robin nodded, then grabbed his face and kissed him full on the mouth. They stayed in that position for a full minute before Robin pulled away. At that point, Ethan's brain cells were melting. "That was my thanks for protecting the ruins for me." said Robin before dragging Ethan along, who suddenly forgot how to apply motor control.

Sanji suddenly roared in anger, his entire form wreathed in flames. The reason was because he sensed a powerful disturbance that was screwing with his love sense. "I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU DID, BUT I'M GONNA KILL YOU, YOU SHITTY ALCHEMIST, IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!" he screamed at the heavens. Nami, Usopp, and Gan Fall sweatdropped.

Chapter 7 end.

Hi there, readers! Yes, I finally decided to step up a notch on the pairing. They still don't realize that they have feelings for each other until around the Water 7 and the Enies Lobby arc. That being said, I am now going to tell y'all about Ethan's Haki-clad form when he uses it seriously. Every single one of his transformations and his human form are black and white. In his human and Rank 3: Executioner forms, his eyes turn pure white and almost everything that is white turns black while almost everything not white turns white. His teeth remains the same, however. For his Rank 1: Judge and Rank 2: Jury forms, his eyes are pure white, everything that isn't white is white, and everything white becomes black. Oh, and one more thing. About why Ethan can coat the ruins with Haki, that's because Haki can be used to coat weapons, so Haki can most likely coat other things with it. That's all for today.
