One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Denise was in severe pain all over her body. After waking up from a coma, she found herself in a cave. There was a flame burning firewood, and a few sparks popped out.

Her cloak was still in good condition, and Gray's cloak was padded under her body, and there were still a few spots of dried blood on it.

"Grey?" Denise endured the pain and stood up, and walked to the entrance of the cave. It was already late at night outside, the sky was so overcast that the moon and stars could not be seen, the wind howled and the cold was biting.

This was extremely terrifying for Denise, and she went back to the cave, feeling uneasy.

The avalanche she encountered today scared her enough, and her father and the others mentioned that it is extremely rare to survive an avalanche.

She remembered the sudden burst of flames and Gray yelling "Get down" at her.

Apparently, it was the Marine who saved her.

"Oh, are you awake?" Gray's surprised voice appeared at the entrance of the cave. He was carrying two dead rabbits, his uniform jacket was torn and bloodstained.

Denise may never know how this boy who was not much older than her was able to protect her tightly, how he struggled to pull her out of the snow, and carried her back to the cave with only his remaining vitality and strength.

"I caught two rabbits hahaha, I'm so lucky, they were also victims of the avalanche." Gray smiled and sat by the fire.

From the moment he walked into the cave, the fire burned more vigorously.

He threw a few sticks of damp wood into it and said, "I haven't cooked either, so it should be cooked."

"...It should be." Denise didn't know how to thank Gray, and finally could only agree dryly.

Her light blue eyes flicked over Gray's body, noticing that the latter had bandaged several places with his clothes.

Gray was only wearing his navy uniform when the avalanche happened, and Denise was wrapped in two thick cloaks, so Denise was not hurt except for a lot of pain.

"Is your injury okay?" she asked softly.

"Injured?" Gray raised his head while processing the internal organs of the rabbit, with the blood spattered on his face, and grinned, "I'm fine, I used the armed color, but it's actually fine."

The only thing that is not so good should be his Griffin. This sharp and famous sword that kills the enemy may never be imagined. One day it will be used by the owner to cut open the belly of the hare.

Perhaps Griffin can feel better if he regards the hare as an enemy.

"Oh, that's good." Denise lowered her head again.

Strangely, in this freezing cave, her face was flushed red, and even her heart became hot for no reason.

"You have a good rest, I'll watch the night, tomorrow we'll go back to the previous town."

After eating a meal of burnt rabbit meat, Gray stood up and walked to the entrance of the cave, with his back turned to Denise.

Denise really needs to rest, she gets sleepy easily after a fright, and she almost fell headlong into the flames while eating just now.

Now she is a drag, Denise knew this, so she didn't refuse, just said: "You can go into the cave, it's very cold outside."

"Didn't I say it, I'm a fire, very hot." Gray snapped his fingers, and the fire immediately burned even brighter.

Denise lay down, but did not fall asleep quickly. She looked at the back of the man standing at the entrance of the cave, wondering what she was thinking.

After a while, Gray felt that Denise must have fallen asleep, her originally tense and straight back bent down, her facial features were tangled together, and she gasped.

"Hiss, aches, aches, aches, aches."

Well, I just pretended that I was fine. Although Gray really used the armed color, he was not capable enough and still had several deep wounds.

Standing at the entrance of the cave is not because the men and women are not close, but because the cold wind blows and the wound is numb and the pain is not so painful.

In the cave, there was a very slight suppressed laugh.

Gray froze, embarrassed and annoyed, "You haven't slept yet!"

"I didn't see anything." Denise finished with a smile, pulled the cloak up, and finally closed her eyes and began to sleep.

"Tsk, it's so annoying." Gray muttered, looking very impatient, but when he looked closely, he blushed up to the ears.

The two are very harmonious here, and on the other hand, the navy who returned to the small town of Serila has searched the entire town of Serila.

"Report to the Major General, but Second Lieutenant Gray is still not found."

"That son of a bitch!!" Hebrew's angry brain began to ache. He originally thought that Gray had a sense of propriety—this kid used to have a sense of propriety, knowing what to do and what not to do, even if he left the team, he would come back when he should.

This time, there was an avalanche, and Hebrew didn't believe it. Even they were forced to stop at Serila, and that boy Gray could fly to other places.

"Major General, Gray won't be buried in the snow, right?" Muli said suddenly, and everyone present was stunned after hearing this.

"He's not stupid!" After Heber finished speaking, the atmosphere became even more weird. After a while, he said again: "Let's go, everyone gather! Dig out the bastard."

The mighty navy rushed towards the avalanche, and Hebrew went to find the Eight Treasures Navy.

Looking for people in the thick snow, it is better to have more people. Although I don't want to cooperate with pirates, Gray's life can still break the Hebrew rules.

After hearing this, Perry nodded readily and agreed, "Let's rent snow sheep first."

"Dongliang, but there..." Qingjiao was poked by someone, and she immediately shut her mouth.

The person who poked him glared at him, "It's important to find someone, let's go."

"Cut, it's just the navy." Qingjiao muttered.

The man said again: "You are the pillar of the next generation, don't be so stingy."

"You can't talk nonsense," Qingjiao hurriedly waved her hands, "Aren't you also practicing breaking Baoyu iceberg?"

"It's useless no matter how much I practice." The man sighed, "In Perry's mind, the best successor is you."

He patted Qingjiao on the shoulder, turned and left, his eyes turned cold when no one saw him, and then returned to normal.

Qingjiao was inspired by his words, and even ignited a raging fighting spirit.

The inheritance method of the Eight Treasures Navy is that the pillars of the past generations must cultivate to the strength that can crush the iceberg of Baoyu before they can take over the power from the previous generation of pillars, and the previous generation of pillars awarded him the title of "Donglong Taper Nail".

"I will definitely not disappoint Dongliang's expectations!"

Perry took Hebrew to a shop that rents snow sheep.

When the proprietress saw Perry, she seemed to see a savior. Before Perry could speak, she said, "My lord, there may be two children in an avalanche!"

"The brother and sister rented two snow sheep from me during the day, but now that the snow sheep came back, the two of them disappeared. I thought that in such a short period of time, they couldn't get out of this place at all. They might have encountered an avalanche."

"Boss, are you sure they are a brother and sister?"

"Well, it seems that the elder brother is much taller than the younger sister, and there seems to be an awkward dispute, but in the end it was the elder brother who carried the younger sister to the snow sheep. It should be brother and sister."
