One Piece: The Eternal Flame

On the warship, Gray's wounds were re-bandaged. During the bandaging process, Hebrew scolded him sternly.

Gray grimaced in pain, but didn't dare to hide, because he knew that Hebrew was really worried about him, and that people who had no blood relationship were kind to him, and this was a gift from heaven.

Soon, Perry took Denise, who had taken a bath and changed into new clothes, to the warship to express his gratitude to Gray.

Their wayward princess also approached Perry four days ago, but was rejected by the latter.

I didn't expect her to make such a bold move. Without Gray, I'm afraid this princess whose theory is greater than practice would have died in the avalanche long ago.

Afterwards, the king who was escorted by the guards—he heard the news that his daughter was here, ignored Xue Beng, and came with a group of guards, and also expressed his gratitude.

The warship successfully received the king of the Kingdom of Flowers and was ready to return immediately.

Unexpectedly, Denise chose to stay. After experiencing this incident, she became calm, "Grey, will you come to the Kingdom of Flowers in four years?"

Gray pointed to himself and said honestly, "I don't know, the marshal decides who to pick up."

After he finished speaking, someone stabbed him in the back, and several people booed from behind, "You promise to come down first."

"Can you talk, Gray?"

"What?" Gray looked at the booing Navy inexplicably, and then turned to look at Denise. The disappointment on the latter's face made him stunned, and then he figured out something, and his face was steaming with enthusiasm.

He coughed lightly, "Anyway, we should be able to meet them at the World Conference."

—He didn't give Denise any guarantees after all.

It has been almost a month since the king of the Kingdom of Flowers was safely delivered to the holy land of Mariejoa.

When they first set sail, everyone was still clinging to Gray's unfavorable relationship, and every day they coaxed Gray to establish a good relationship with the "future father-in-law".

Gray, of course, couldn't stand the teasing, and would always deny it every time. After a while, everyone had new fun, so they stopped making this joke.

Gray has not yet reached the position of Marie Gioia. After sending the king to the Holy Land, except for the navy above the school level, everyone else returned to Marlin Vandor.

Before Gray left, he looked back at Marie Gioia. Before he could think of anything, he was patted on the shoulder by someone else, "What are you looking at, let's go to the tavern."

"Uh, I can't drink too much." Gray doesn't have such a good capacity for alcohol, and he often drinks with others, and always ends up smashing his head on the wine table.

"It's okay, it's okay, drink as much as you can, brothers will send you back."

The Conference of the Worlds ended in a war of words among those kings, and that had nothing to do with Gray.

He once again returned to the life of going to sea when there is a mission, and training when there is no mission.

Soon, three years later, Gray was 15 years old, and a naval promotion ceremony was about to be held, from captain to major.

There are quite a lot of things that happened in the past three years. According to the sequence of time, one is that two nobles became pirates, and it is said that they are prosperous in Paradise.

The second is that Admiral Steel Gu was promoted to Marshal. He was busy processing documents every day, and even spent most of the night in the office at night.

The third is that there are a few very talented rookies in the Naval Academy, but if you want to surpass Gray's name, you probably need to perform better

The fourth is some things about the West Sea. The Eight Treasures Navy of the Kingdom of Flowers was attacked by the enemy, and the pillar Peili disappeared, and the internal chaos was disorderly. However, things about the West Sea rarely spread to the great route, so Gray is not clear about this.

Except for the second article, which has a relationship with Gray, the other Grays don't care much.

Ever since he set foot on the land of Marie Gioia that day, Gray has never forgotten the buildings there. Perhaps deep in his memory, something is pulling him to think of everything.

In the past three years, he has been constantly on missions, just to accumulate enough meritorious service as soon as possible, so that he can be promoted earlier.

The more he climbed, the slower he climbed, and Gray was already the fastest-promoting navy, and after he was promoted, he would be the youngest lieutenant commander.

"Congratulations, our young Navy Lieutenant Commander!" Someone hooked his shoulders with an envious tone, "Sure enough, geniuses are enviable."

"Thank you." Gray accepted the compliment bluntly.

"It's still early, why don't you go to Chambord Land? I think you have missions every day, and you haven't visited the nearby islands at all."

"I won't go, it's nothing interesting."

"It's not interesting, Chambord recently opened a new playground, it's very fun, and its specialties are also delicious, I sincerely recommend it to you!"

Gray still refused, "No, I want to find the marshal."

When the marshal was moved out, the man let go of his hand resentfully, "Okay, okay, let's go then."

"have fun."

When Gray left, those people looked at each other, and they all saw the helplessness and embarrassment in each other's eyes.

"Sure enough, I still don't like him. He seems to be nice to everyone, but he doesn't care about everyone."

"Well, there is nothing wrong with people looking for their father."

"But... oh, forget it, let's do missions in the future."

At the corner at the end of the corridor, Gray listened to their words in silence. He couldn't tell what mood he was in, a little sad but not that sad.

He went to the cafeteria to buy a meal, and when he came to the marshal's office, the steel frame was still processing documents, presumably he hadn't eaten lunch.

"Marshal, will you go to the succession ceremony in the afternoon?"

Gray put the meal on the empty table aside, and seemed to ask casually, feeling a little nervous.

"Today's things are almost done, I will go." Steel Bone nodded and stood up.

Gray breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Then do you think I will become a competent navy?"

Cyborg stepped forward, patted Gray on the shoulder, and said, "Grey, with sincerity and justice in your heart, you will become the most powerful navy."

His tone was determined and proud, as if he saw the future through the present time.

Gray gave a military salute, and said firmly, "Yes, I will not let you down."

At the same time, the Chambord Islands are conducting population auctions as usual. This kind of criminal activity is extremely common on this prosperous island sheltered by the navy.

They even have legal business licenses and serial numbers, and several auctions have sold them sooner or later, and the products are not limited to mermaids, murlocs, and humans.

The fate of those imprisoned in shackles is doomed. Death may be a good thing, but life is the source of pain.

Another year passed, and Gray was 16 years old, a lieutenant colonel in the Navy.

The World Conference was held again, and they were ordered to escort the royal family to Dressrosa in the New World.

As lieutenant colonel this time, Gray was finally able to step into the holy land of Mary Gioia, and his progress was unimpeded until someone hesitated and called out his name.

"Gregor?"

Gray stopped and looked around.

Seeing a girl with exquisite appearance walking towards him quickly, Gray screened the people he knew in his heart, and finally found a little memory from four years ago, "Denise?"

"It's me, it's great to see you here." Denise excitedly came to Gray's side, "You have changed a lot in the past four years."

"Well, you too." Gray nodded, looking deeper into Marie Gioia.

After setting foot on this place, his whole body began to become frizzy, and he didn't even have the patience to talk to people.
