One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Gray was stalked by a child, and as he was walking out of a small grocery store, someone jumped out in front of him.

The reason why it is called a child is because she is more than a head shorter than Gray, and her voice is immature, which sounds like a girl's voice.

"You're the navy, right?" the girl wrapped in the cloak asked in an affirmative tone, and before Gray could speak, she continued, "Ben, I need your help with something."

It is an obligation for the navy to help civilians, but Gray has a hunch that what this girl is going to say should not be easy.

Gray asked, "Tell me first."

"I have a treasure that is frozen in a piece of ice. If you take it out for me, we can split it in half!" the girl tried her best to use a sincere tone, "It's true! I swear on...my reputation!"

"Why are you looking for me?" Gray asked, "You know I'm in the navy, so you probably saw us getting off the warship? There are so many adults who don't look for me, but why are they looking for me?"

"Idiot, because you are the only one left alone!" The girl wanted to cross her hips, but when she raised her arms, the cloak was separated to the two sides, and the cold wind and snow immediately poured into the cloak, which was bitingly cold.

The girl put her arms down again immediately, and explained: "There are so many people sharing the treasure, there is not much left. Besides, you look better and talk better."

"Really?" Gray thought for a while, and followed the girl to see what her so-called treasures were. Anyway, he didn't believe that a little girl would have any earth-shattering treasures. At most, they were skirt dolls that girls like.

With Gray's consent, the girl's eyes hidden in the cloak immediately lit up, and she led Gray to a place with ease.

While walking, he said, "Come with me, we need to rent a mount first."

It looked very reliable, but when she got to the place where the ancestor was riding, she said again: "I don't have any money yet, I will return the money to you when you help me get the treasure."

Well, not so much money.

Gray readily paid the bill and got two sturdy snow sheep. They are very good at rolling and jumping on the cliff, and their fur is thick and extremely cold.

Gray rolled over and sat on it with a natural and natural movement. After sitting firmly, he watched the girl get on another sheep.

But the girl didn't move, the small face under the cloak was raised, the exposed half of her chin was as white as snow, her lips were bright red and slightly opened, as if she was struggling with how to climb a snow sheep that was much taller than her.

Gray touched his nose, jumped down again, and asked, "Do you need me to carry you up?"

"." The girl was silent for a moment, then said uncomfortably, "I'm in trouble."

Gray reached out and hugged the girl onto the snow goat. During this period, the girl's body was as tense as a stone, and she could clearly feel it even if she was wrapped in a cloak.

"That's right, brother and sister, why are you having a temper?" The proprietress who leased the snow sheep watched the interaction between the two with a smile, and regarded the two children who were not much different in age as brothers and sisters.

Gray smiled, did not explain the misunderstanding of the proprietress, returned to Xue Yang, and said, "Lead the way."

Although the girl had no idea how to climb the snow goat, she was comfortable riding on it. She should often ride this kind of mount, but because of her size, she used to be supported by others.

The reason why the Kingdom of Flowers is called the Kingdom of Flowers is because there is a peculiar kind of ice flower that grows on the ice layer and melts quickly when it is exposed to sunlight.

Gray followed the girl for a long time, but he still hadn't reached the frozen treasure that the girl said.

Uncle Hebrew doesn't care where he is, anyway, they are going to pick up the king, and it should take a day or two.

"Ah!"

Just as Gray was thinking, the girl leading the way suddenly sneezed. She sniffed, and then sneezed again.

The cloak she was wearing was very beautiful. It was red as a whole, with patterns woven with gold threads. From a distance, the collision of red and white had a strange beauty.

Gray thought for a while and said, "What should I call you? Is it your employer?"

"Just call me Denise." The girl didn't mind letting Gray know her name.

"Okay, Denise, I'm Gray, how long until we're there?"

"Did you see the iceberg in front of you?" Denise pointed to the towering mountains in the distance, sniffed, and said, "That's right, Ah Choo!"

"...Are you all right?" Gray asked.

"It's okay, don't worry about it." Denise shook her head, "My cloak is a bit thin, and I haven't been out for so long before."

"Then wear mine. My cloak is issued by the navy and is very thick." Gray took off the cloak readily, revealing the navy uniform inside, which looked rather thin in the cold wind.

Denise immediately waved her hand and refused, "No need, I'll just wear this. Aren't you cold?"

Gray smiled brightly, and handed over the cloak, "I'm hot, very hot."

"Fire?" Denise was puzzled, but seeing that Gray had already handed over the cloak, she followed suit.

Gray nodded, "Yeah, that's it."

He didn't show off his fire abilities, and he didn't care if Denise believed it.

Although flame was his power, Gray rarely used it to fight in recent years.

Cyborg said that he can use flames at will after he has mastered the armed color and knowledge color.

Now, anyone who is not familiar with his navy will think that Gray is a swordsman who only uses a sword.

Denise took a deep look at Gray, and put the cloak directly on top of her own.

I don't know if the cloak is really good, or Gray's body temperature is really high. Once the cloak is put on, the heat seeps into the layers of clothing.

Denise was afraid of the cold, so she ran out secretly this time, so she didn't wear many thick clothes. It was terribly cold just now, and it wasn't until the cloak was put on that she felt the warmth again.

Because of this, Denise had a higher impression of Gray. She slowed down and walked side by side with Gray, asking, "What's it like outside the Country of Flowers?"

Gray thought for a while, "It's wonderful, the world is huge, and the sea is also vast. Maybe we can't travel the whole world in our lifetime."

"That's great." Denise listened, and fantasized about the outside world. She had visited the Kingdom of Flowers, and there was snow everywhere.

Such a beautiful scenery may be good in the eyes of beginners, but in Denise's view, the scenery that has not changed for thousands of years is too boring.

"Hey, I gave you half of the treasure, how about you let me go on the warship?" Denise suddenly asked Gray.

"?" A question mark appeared on Gray's head, "What do you mean, do you want to visit our warship?"

"No!" Denise waved her hand, hesitated and took off the tight hood on her head.

When his face was exposed, Gray was also momentarily dazed.

Silky blond hair reaching shoulders, light blue eyes, long eyelashes fluttering like summer butterflies, delicate facial features are enough to shock people before they grow.

"To tell you the truth, I am the princess of the Kingdom of Flowers, and I want to go to the World Conference, but my father won't let me go with me. You hide me on the warship first, and after my father and the others set sail, I'm going out, so they won't drive me away!"
