One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The Country of Flowers in the West Sea

When the naval warship arrived at the inland sea of ​​the Kingdom of Flowers, the navy at the watchtower soon reported the situation—several pirate ships were approaching.

Gray clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, exchanged glances with Muli, and walked to Hebrew's side.

Hebrew didn't panic at all, he stood with his hands behind his back and said, "It should be the Eight Treasures Navy from the Kingdom of Flowers."

"Eight Treasures Navy?"

"The official pirate strength of the Kingdom of Flowers, there are eight in total." Hebrew made an "eight" gesture.

Gray didn't quite understand: "Why is it called the official pirate group?"

"They are employed by the royal family and are responsible for protecting the safety of the internal sea of ​​the Flower Kingdom, and they go out to plunder property. Unlike ordinary pirates, their plundering is allowed by the country, and the Flower Kingdom has joined the World Government." Hebrew shrugged, and the unfinished words are self-evident.

In other words, no matter what the Eight Treasures Navy went out to plunder, the navy couldn't control it.

Gray clicked his tongue. He hated this kind of pirate, and he also hated the feeling of being restrained. As a navy, there are too many restrictions.

The pirate ships heading towards the navy warships indeed belonged to the Eight Treasures Navy, and only they could approach the natural enemies of the pirates so boldly.

Soon the boards were put on, and the man who looked like the leader came to the warship without fear. He scanned the deck and finally saw the blue epaulets on Hebrew's shoulders.

"I am the No.11 pillar of the Eight Treasures Navy, and I am here to wait for you as entrusted by the king," said the man who called himself Perry.

Hebrew nodded, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to trouble you. I was late because I was delayed for a while. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, this is our duty." Perry didn't show any emotion, but just politely chatted with Hebrew about the situation.

The Kingdom of Flowers is a cold winter island. When it was in the inner sea, the temperature began to drop sharply. There were many pieces of floating ice around it, and snow gradually fell from the sky.

The entire island was in a snowy winter, and when they arrived at the seaside port, many marines could not withstand the cold and put on cloaks to keep out the cold.

Gray is a fire, so he will not feel the cold, but in order to prevent the snow from melting and wet his clothes, he still chooses to wear a thick cloak like everyone else.

The ship stopped at the port, and most of the navies were on board. Only Hebrew took a few school-level navies and set off for the capital.

As for Gray, his rank is too small, but since he would sneak out when guarding the ship before, Hebrew just turned a blind eye.

The Eight Treasures Navy prepared several domesticated animals unique to the Kingdom of Flowers in the port city as means of transportation.

The architecture of the Kingdom of Flowers is indeed unique, with pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted columns, all covered with a thick layer of white snow.

Gray saw this kind of building for the first time, running around in the snow excitedly.

Perry glanced at him, a little amused, "Does the navy still bring such a small child with it?"

Hebrew raised his eyebrows, "Although he is young, he is quite famous."

"... Oh?" ​​Perry recalled some information he had obtained before, "Is he the naval genius?"

As a pirate force in the West Sea, they must concentrate on the West Sea when they collect information. They know very little about the great route, and it is very difficult to obtain it.

But even so, they still got information about Gray. Perry did not expect that this kid who just fell in the snow just now was a genius that the Navy is now trying to cultivate.

"It's better to be called a monster than a genius." Hebrew said triumphantly.

Gray can also be regarded as the child he watched grow up, so he inevitably assumed the role of parent.

"Dongliang!" Someone shouted from a long distance, and he hurried over on his horse, happily saying, "You are finally back."

"Oh, it's green pepper." Perry obviously knew the person in front of him, and said with a smile: "It's really timely."

"Of course! I rushed here as soon as I heard that there was a boat approaching." Qingjiao looked very excited, "Dongliang, did you snatch any valuable treasures at sea this time?"

"This time I was unlucky. Except for a gang, I didn't encounter any merchant ships to plunder." Perry shook his head, lit a cigarette for himself, and asked Hebrew next to him if he wanted to smoke.

Hebrew shook his head and refused, and warned with a smile: "Even if you are official pirates, isn't it a bit too arrogant to discuss the topic of robbing merchant ships in front of us?"

"Oh? It's the navy. I didn't recognize it without showing the uniform." Qingjiao deliberately provoked.

"Green pepper!" Perry's voice was heavy, he gave him a warning look, and said to Hebrew: "Sorry, this kid is not sensible, and I will educate him well in the future."

Qingjiao curled her lips, drove her mount to a person following Perry, and muttered, "I really didn't find out."

"Be careful with your words and deeds. If you were on the great route now, you would have died a long time ago." The man smiled, "They just care about this being the West Sea, and we are official pirates."

At the juncture before the start of the World Conference, no one wanted to cause trouble, especially the navy who came to pick up the king.

Hebrew knew the stakes, so he didn't show any dissatisfaction. He thought to himself, Gray also performed very well this time, and he looked disgusted on the boat. Now he heard this kind of thing and didn't do it directly.

He looked around, but he didn't see the figure running in the snow.

Hebrew's eyes immediately turned into dead fish eyes, well, that kid didn't know where to go to explore, I hope nothing will happen.

The reason why he is not angry is that Gray's autonomy has been displayed vividly since the first voyage.

At the beginning of that "dream first voyage", Gray was separated from all of them on the island. At that time, he pointed to the sky angrily and swore that he would punish Gray hard when he returned.

But Gray's return brought back news that two large pirate groups wanted to secretly cooperate to occupy a country.

So Hebrew has long been used to Gray acting alone.

The port city of the Kingdom of Flowers is called Serila. It is a beautiful snow city, because the terrain is low and the snow is thick. On both sides of the road, there are children's snowmen who look like snowmen.

People have long been accustomed to snowfall, so when the snow is falling, there are still pedestrians walking on the street.

Gray let out a breath, moved his body to the left, and dodged the snowball that hit him from behind.

A few naughty children didn't even notice that their snowball almost hit someone else, and they were still running around on the street playing snowballs.

The narrow gap between the two buildings on the side can only accommodate the width of one person. Someone poked out a tightly wrapped head from inside, staring at Gray's back.

"Navy...?"
