Chapter 18: 18- Leaving Shells Town
When Ethan heard what the man said, Ethan looked at him with annoyance, then ignored him and walked towards a beautiful woman who was selling fruit, and he smiled at her with a sweet smile and said, "Hello, can I talk to you for a bit?"
In fact, Ethan had no money, so he could not buy the newspaper from the man. If he had the money, he would have bought the newspaper directly from him.
When she heard this, the woman was upset and wanted to say no, but when she turned her eyes to Ethan's face, she was shocked by his handsome and attractive appearance, so she answered in a timid voice, "Yes, you can."
"I just heard someone say that Morgan was killed by bounty hunters, do you know who they are?" said Ethan, looking into the woman's eyes.
"Do you really not know this, it has been a hot event in the newspapers for the past three days, wait a moment I will show you the newspapers that have been published for the past three days." The woman began to search in her booth and after a while she took out three newspapers, gave the newspapers to Ethan and said With a smile, "You can take it for free. I've already finished reading it."
"Thank you but I can't take it for free so I'll read it here and return it to you when I'm done" Ethan smiled as he took the newspapers from the woman's hand, then looked at the person who tried to sell him the newspaper as if he was saying look I can take the newspapers for free.
Ethan looked at the newspaper and began to read it, it was mentioned how Morgan fought bravely against two bounty hunters who deviated from the righteous path and became evil pirates, but unfortunately despite his bravery, the strength of the bounty hunters was much greater, but he was able to hold out against them for a long time because of his will To achieve justice, but during the fight, a bounty hunter suddenly attacked a young girl, causing Morgan to use his body to save the little girl, causing his death.
'Are they joking, is this guy really Morgan? They're obviously lying' thought Ethan as he read Morgan's heroic deed before his death, Then Ethan continued reading.
Then it was written below that, to those whose hearts still bear justice, they should join the Navy and fight these ruthless villains, and prevent them from committing such heinous crimes. The Navy needs justice in your hearts to stop pirates from committing more crimes. To be a Marine, head to Bowie Island.
'They are trying to inflame people's feelings of sympathy, anger and justice to get them to join the navy to fight the pirates, I think a lot of people are going to that island to join the navy for the time being.' Ethan thought this was a smart move by the Navy, but because of it they might lose the support of this town because it was being oppressed by Morgan.
"You shouldn't believe what this newspaper is telling you, the bad guy is Morgan, not the bounty hunters. Morgan and his son are a tyrant and they've abused civilians in this town." The woman said with some anger, and she was not the only one who was angry, all the people of the town were angry when she read the newspaper.
"Three days ago, Morgan's son brought his fierce dog to a tavern in the city and made him eat the food of the people there, so the daughter of the owner of the pub hit the dog with a stick so the dog attacked her, but a bounty hunter killed the dog before it reached the little girl, causing annoyance for Morgan's son."
"Because the two bounty hunters were pretty girls, Morgan's foolish son demanded that the two girls keep his bed warm and threatened that if they didn't, his father would destroy that pub and kill the person who owned it."
"So the two girls beat Morgan's son and kicked him out of the pub ,and told him 'We'll be staying at the tavern for a few days, and if you have the guts, go back to the tavern to take our revenge.' And he did exactly what they said, he went to his father and brought him to them to take revenge, but he did not expect that his father would be defeated."
"After Morgan was defeated, he tried to grab the little girl to take her hostage, but a bounty hunter cut him off with a katana as soon as she noticed his actions."
The woman explained everything that happened to Ethan in detail, and after she finished, she took out two wanted posters and presented them to Ethan and said while sighing, "Even though they did nothing wrong, they were considered criminals, and a reward was placed on those who killed or arrested them."
Ethan looked at one of the wanted posters and saw a picture of a girl with short dark blue hair, big dark eyes and a smile on her face.

< KUINA >
< 10,000,000 Belly >

Ethan looked at the other wanted posters and saw a picture of a girl with long green hair tied into a ponytail, big light green eyes, and three matching gold earrings on her left lobe, and she was frowning a little as if she was upset by something.

< DEAD OR ALIVE >
< RORONOA ZORA >
< 15,000,000 Belly >
-----------------------------
A surprised look appeared on Ethan's face when he saw the wanted posters, and when the woman noticed this, she said, "Do not underestimate them despite their beauty, they are very strong and deserve the price on their heads and I think that this price does not represent their strength. After all, they were bounty hunters and they They are famous for their work and have hunted down many pirates and bandits with a bounty of 10,000,000 Belly or more."
Ethan nodded, knowing that they were strong, then looked at the woman and asked, "Is there any information about where they are now or at least a trace of the path they are heading?"
"It's mentioned in today's newspaper, they were seen on Opetel Island, and it seems that a powerful pirate hunter is chasing them now and there is a rumor that he is a user of devil fruit, although I don't believe in the existence of devil fruits, but I'm sure he is strong." The woman said while she took a newspaper from Ethan's hand and started flipping it, then showed a certain page and showed it to Ethan, the written information there is the same information that the woman had previously said.
"Thanks for the info." After Ethan said this, he quickly headed to the clothing store the girls were in, when he got there he didn't see them anywhere. "Where did they go?" Then start running around the town looking for them.
After a while he found Nami, Lucy and Alveda. Alvida bought new clothes and is now wearing them. Alvida still has her cowboy hat, but she now dresses in a pearl necklace, a bikini top, and tight Capri-length pants. She has a purple coat draped over her shoulders. She wore a pair of sandals. She still wears lipstick, polish on her now shorter fingernails, and her toenails are shown painted as well.
"Let's buy supplies quickly, we'll go to Opetel Island, Nami, do you know where it is" said Ethan as soon as he saw them.
"Yes, I know how we go there, but why do you want to go there all of a sudden? We haven't been on this island for a long time," Nami said as soon as she heard Ethan.
"I'll tell you on our way there, now part up and buy supplies, we have to go quickly."
