One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Come with me, I'll show you something."

The banquet was coming to an end, and the people who couldn't drink had already fallen asleep. Snow Leopard stood up and signaled Gray and the others to follow.

They came under the big white whale-shaped tree that Gray had been thinking about, and the snow leopard stepped on the tangled branches on the surface of the big tree, "Let's go."

The first impression that the Beluga Whale tree gave them was that it was very big, and even the tangled branches on the trunk were enough for two people to walk side by side.

"Are we going to the top of the tree?" Gray frowned. "The closer we get to this tree, the more sounds we hear. It's really uncomfortable."

"Why don't we go, Captain." Colin's healing ability didn't work at all at this time.

"Everyone is not interested in this. If it harms you, we will not go."

"Don't be like this, it's making my skin crawl." Gray looked disgusted, "It's just some unrealistic nonsense, I'm not that fragile yet."

"I still want to go to the top of the tree to see it!" He looked at the snow leopard excitedly.

"...No, I'm going to take you to the middle place." After Snow Leopard finished speaking, seeing Gray's disappointment, he added: "But later, I can take you to the top of the tree. The scenery there is very good."

"Yeah, Kaluqiu!" Gray regained his vitality.

Perry sighed, "Don't spoil him like this, this kid might be pretending."

The others immediately nodded in agreement, affirming what Perry said.

Snow Leopard looked at them rather strangely, you are the ones who are most used to this kid, right?

"I'm not pretending." Gray shook his head, obviously happy because he was able to go to the top of the tree, "Snow Leopard, you are really good!"

"That's right, thank you for the compliment." Snow Leopard smiled.

After walking for a while, they came to a place on the tail of the whale. The snow leopard opened a door that blended perfectly with the surroundings, "It's inside."

Downward, there is a very deep passage, so deep that everyone is on guard. Those with weapons put their hands on the weapons, and those without weapons are tense.

Soon, they came to the ground floor, which was a little dim, but they could still see clearly that the inside was covered with vines and moss, obviously it had been built for many years.

"That's... the family crest of the Kozuki clan?" Ace looked at the imprint directly opposite - a very unique emblem shaped like the divine bird "Yatara Crow".

"Oh? You actually know the Kozuki clan." Snow Leopard was a little surprised. Have these people already been to Wano Country?

His expression was more relaxed, "Zou and the Guangyue clan have been best friends since ancient times."

"The Guangyue family?" Gray looked at Ace, "What is it?"

"Aren't you in the same group?" Snow Leopard became unsure.

Ace scratched his head and said with a smile, "We're in the same group, but I joined late, and I've been to Wano before."

"That's right, it's really good. The ancestors made an agreement. If one party is in trouble, the other party will help regardless of the consequences." Snow Leopard smiled, "But because of Wano Country's closed-door policy, we haven't been in touch for a long time."

Ace opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. The Wano country he went to was completely under the rule of Kaido, and the Kozuki clan had also been submerged in the long river of history.

If he hadn't met Yamato, and the Whitebeard Pirates had also been in contact with Kozuki Oden, he probably wouldn't have known so much information about the Kozuki clan.

"I heard that there are ninjas in Wano, is it true?" Gray asked.

"Yes." Ace laughed, he remembered that innocent and cute little girl, "It's a coquettish female ninja!"

It's a pity that he also promised that little girl that he would take her on a voyage with him when he came to Wano Country again, but this promise could never be fulfilled.

"Demon? A coquettish female ninja???" Latin widened his eyes, "You... Ace, do you guys even know the word coquettish?"

"Huh? Why didn't I know?" Ace wondered.

"No, because you really..." Latin squatted down with his head in his hands, and was severely hit by reality.

Others were surprised too, the alluring female ninja was too attractive to men.

Perry asked: "Are they all in good shape?"

"Isn't it hot and unrestrained?" Alder and Abel asked in unison.

"Damn it, you're so lucky!" Demon said angrily.

"Why is this kind of good thing not my turn!" Bud's jealous face twisted.

Gray also came over, and just when everyone was wondering if the captain had also become enlightened, he asked excitedly: "She can do avatars, can she play shuriken?"

"Ha... Sure enough, I shouldn't expect the child to grow up suddenly." Colin shook his head with a kind face.

Teutonic smiled and said, "As expected of the captain."

Ace thought for a while, shook his head and smiled, "I'm talking about a child. When I met her, she said she wanted to become a powerful female ninja. Later, she wanted to go sailing with me, so I told her that when she became a coquettish female ninja, I would take her to sail!"

"Damn it, you still play with cultivation!" Latin was even more shocked.

"Ace, I really misjudged you!" Bud shook his head, unwilling to believe, "You look so innocent, but you are so flamboyant!"

"I knew it, this is the man!"

"Let's also go to Wano Country to find a female ninja. The boat is full of old men. I'm afraid that one day the boat and the things on it will be straight."

Snow Leopard sighed, this group of people is really... Well, they shouldn't be the group of people to wait for, otherwise I always feel that waiting for such a long time is all a waste.

"Is this red stone the text of history?" Gray didn't participate in their discussion. He walked up to the square stone and looked at the regular font on it. "I've heard that it was created by a family of stonemasons about the disappearing 100-year history."

After leaving the navy, he had investigated the secrets about the Tianlong people and the world government, but those things were hidden very deep, and continuing to investigate might touch the interests of some people.

"Is the Mason family the same as the Guangyue family?" He touched the writing on the stone and looked at Xue Leopard.

The latter nodded, "Yes, there are about 30 pieces, including 4 pieces of historical texts on road signs and 9 pieces of historical texts on intelligence."

"Do you understand?"

"I don't understand, except for the Guangyue clan, no one in the world can understand the text of history."

"So if you want to unravel these histories, you have to go to Wano Country." Gray smiled, "Interesting, Tang En, give me a copy of it."

Tang En nodded. He carried some paper and ink with him, which just happened to come in handy now.

"Have you decided to go to Wano Country?" Perry asked.

Gray nodded and said with a smile: "Don't you want a coquettish female ninja? It sounds very interesting hahahaha."
