No POV:

Ethan slept after his "conversation" with the woman, when he was awakened by loud noises. "Great, what the hell are they doing now?" he muttered to himself. When he went outside, he blinked. "Why are you all running?" he asked. "Oh, we were stealing gold." said Luffy as he ran past. "Are you serious, Idiot Captain? I mean we still have the gold from El Dorado, as I have mentioned a few days earlier." said Ethan. "Hey, you're calling me Idiot Captain again!" yelled Luffy angrily as he climbed up to the deck. Ethan blinked. "I've always called you that." he replied. "LIAR!" yelled Luffy again. Ethan shrugged. "Anyway, I'm going to scout where we'll end up in the Blue Sea. Bye." he said as he flew off. The rest of the crew arrived just as Ethan rose in the air. "HEY! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE FLYING YET!" screamed Chopper in a panicked tone. "Too late, Chopper, he's gone." said Zoro. Chopper sighed. After loading the gold onto the ship as quickly as possible, they set sail. Along the way, they saw Conis and Pagaya waving at them. "Goodbye! We hope we can see you again!" they yelled. The Strawhats waved back. "Oh wait, by the way, the exit leads you to a waterfall that'll take you off the island!" yelled Conis. "Wait a minute...WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!?" yelled the crew as they plunged downwards. Then they saw Ethan hovering in the air. When he saw them, he flew to the deck and hung on with his talons. "I see that you've figured out that we're going to fall! Anyway, I have good news and bad news!" he managed to yell over the wind. "What is it?!" the crew yelled back. "At the rate we're going, as well as the trajectory, we'll be crashing into an island with a lake! The good news is we'll most likely crash into the lake! The bad news is that the whole island is a Marine base!" he yelled once more. "DID YOU SAY THAT WE'RE HEADING TOWARDS A MARINE BASE?!" the rest of the crew screamed. "Yes! But I have a solution! If we can slow the Merry down, I might be able to push her forward midair so that we won't end up at that base!" shouted Ethan. "Well how do we do that?!" screamed the crew. Just then, an octopus that seemed to have dropped from the sky landed on the ship and started to inflate, until it allowed the ship to float. "Like that, I guess. By the way, if any of you guys touch the octopus, we're screwed." said Ethan. He then jumped off the ship and started to push it forward. "This is going to be a loooong trip." he said to himself.

After five hours of descent, the octopus ran out of air and deflated, dropping the ship into the sea. The Marine base was left far into the distance. Ethan dragged himself onto the ship and collapsed. "Meat (gasp, gasp) that's not cooked, (pant, pant) now, Pervy Cook." he rasped before fainting. Robin sighed, then pulled him up. She draped his arm around her shoulders before walking into the infirmary, then set him down on the bed. After glancing behind her, she kissed his forehead. "You try too hard sometimes." Robin murmured before walking back up to the deck. When Ethan woke up, it was evening. Feeling hungry, he walked up to the deck and towards the kitchen. "Pervy Cook, three rare steaks please. You did promise, after all." he said. Sanji muttered something about shitty alchemists before whipping up Ethan's order. He watched in amazement as Ethan down all three bowls in three minutes. "I never thought someone could as fast as Luffy until now." he said. "Thank you for the food, Sanji." said Ethan when he finished. "It's Pervy Cook, dammi- wait, you called me by my real name!" the cook yelled. "I've always called you Sanji." replied Ethan, leaving a pissed off Sanji to simmer in his anger. Afterwards, he walked back into his lab. Bored, he started to carve a dragon out of lead. After finishing, he decorated with gems, then he melted a Sorcerer's Stone over it. The lead instantly turned into gold. He let the melted remains of the stone to cool before taking the gold sculpture into the treasure room, where other gold articles were. After placing it in the room and walking back up, he noticed Robin reading a book. He walked over and sat down next to her. "So, what are you reading?" said Ethan. "The Most Dangerous Pirates Known to the World. All of your bounties from 800 years ago to the present is here, with 'Sea Splitter' being ranked up with the Four Emperors, Dragon, and Gold Roger." said Robin. "That is an exaggeration. I'm still no match for any of them." said Ethan in slight embarrassment. Robin laughed. "May I read a few pages with you?" asked Ethan. "Of course." replied Robin. After turning a few pages, Ethan found a familiar picture. "Hey, this is you." he pointed out to Robin. "Yes, I am in this book." she replied. Then Ethan noticed something. "You're born...in Ohara?" he whispered in shock. Robin stiffened slightly. "What of it?" she asked cautiously. Ethan didn't say a word as his eyes shadowed. "Please follow me." he said, leading her to the lab. "Hey, where are you guys going?" asked Luffy from the ship's figurehead. "To my lab. Personal business, you see." he replied. "PERSONAL BUSINESS?! YOU'RE GOING TO MOLEST ROBIN-CHWANN AREN'T YOU!" yelled Sanji. "No! It's not like that." denied Ethan. "I just need to show her something."

"Like what?" said Sanji. "Something I found that only Robin has the right to know." replied Ethan before dragging Robin into the lab. The rest of the crew on deck heard the click of a lock. "Does he usually allow anyone in there?" asked Chopper, who was also present. "No. Must be serious." commented Zoro, who went back to napping. The others stared curiously at the door. Meanwhile, Ethan stopped in front of the giant box containing the body. "If you're truly from Ohara, then you'll know what happened to that island." he said. Robin shuddered. "Don't say anything. I try not to remember Clover's body before I buried his remains, as well as the other inhabitants. Anyway, I arrived at Ohara after it's destruction. The smoke could be seen for miles, you see. When I reached the shore, the whole place was blackened and burned. I walked around, activating my Haki to see if an aura could be sensed. I almost plunged into despair when I didn't. But when I arrived at the tree, I heard one. It was so faint, I almost didn't sense the woman. And when I did find her, the clothes were fused to her skin. If people like Chopper was around, perhaps they could've helped her faster, but I was no doctor. So I did the next best thing. I literally skinned her alive, very carefully so that other body parts could still function, and I managed to submerge her into something I was saving for later: the Elixir of Life."

Ethan reached for the sliding door and slid it back, revealing the face. It had absolutely no skin, so all the muscles were exposed. Ethan peered into the tank. "Looks like it's almost done. Just need to cover the neck and head." he said. Robin turned to him. "How much longer?" she asked in a trembling voice. "I don't know. The Elixir is the ultimate medicine. It heals wounds faster and cures any diseases when ingested. Drinking it also grants eternal life and youth, although 10 pints needs to be ingested every year in order for that to happen. Being submerged in it will allow cellular restoration, and can even keep the one submerged in it in suspended animation. But the cellular restoration rate is erratic, impossible to guess. The best answer I can give you is that it'll take a few more days, maybe even weeks." replied Ethan. Robin nodded, then finally broke down, hugging Ethan tightly. "T-thank y-you. You already did so much for me, I can't believe there is another who can read the poneglyph now..." she whimpered as she clutched Ethan tighter. "It's okay Robin, don't cry, it'll be alright. And it's my own pleasure to help you." said Ethan. He sat on his bed and gently rocked her back and forth. After thirty minutes, Robin fell asleep. Ethan took off her shoes and tucked her in his bed. "Sleep for a while, hime." he whispered before kissing her forehead. He then grabbed a few vials of the Elixir and walked upstairs. When he arrived, it seemed as if everyone was waiting for him. "Well, where is she?" said Sanji. "Asleep. What I told her taxed her emotions too much, so she is currently resting." Ethan replied. Then he turned his attention to Chopper and handed the vials over. "Huh, what's this?" asked Chopper in confusion. "Tanuki. I'm no doctor, but there is a substance known to alchemists that disregards all medical science. I want to give you the Elixir of life. Use it sparingly, for it's hard to make and it takes a long time to brew." he said before explaining the effects of the liquid. "What?! There is no way something like this could exist. Why give it now anyway?" said Chopper in excitement. "My discussion jogged my memory somewhat." replied Ethan. "Will you teach me how to make this?" asked Chopper. "Unless you want to be a full time alchemist? No. And don't bother analyzing it either. There is only one copy of the recipe and only I have it. Besides, it requires a lot of rare ingredients anyway." said Ethan. "What did you discuss with Robin?" asked Luffy. Ethan paused. "It's personal business." he said at last. Then he flew up to the crow's nest and watched the clouds until he fell asleep, the emotional strain he received being too much for him.
