One Piece: The Eternal Flame

A pirate is to be full of curiosity about new things, and a good partner is to recommend the anecdotes and strange things you encounter to everyone.

At this time, Mr. Skeleton had already arrived on the navy deck, with an elegant aristocratic appearance, he took a step forward, and the sailors took a step back with weapons in hand, and both sides played very vigorously.

"It's really a skeleton, it doesn't have any meat at all." Andrew clicked his tongue a few times, with a strong sense of disgust in his words.

Forgive the chef, he only has eyes for companions and ingredients.

"You say he is already a pile of bones, why is his hair still so lush?"

"wig?"

"It looks real."

"By the way, I think the pile of bones I hugged before was him. I still remember the explosive head very clearly."

After Gray pointed out the skeleton to everyone, everyone was deeply curious about everything about this gentleman.

"His name is Brooke?"

"Well, Nosy Brooke."

"Hey—Guji!" Oden shouted loudly, "Come to our side."

He has no fear of skeletons, full of curiosity and excitement.

Hearing the shout, Brook stopped messing around with the navy, and lightly stepped on the side of the ship and jumped onto the Blacks.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, I'm sorry, thank you very much yesterday." Brooke took off his hat and saluted.

Everyone was staring at his hair, noticing the sight, Brook smiled and said, "My hair roots are stronger."

"So you're alive~" Gray stroked his chin and circled around Brook, "Sure enough. Body and soul are two different things."

"What did you say?" Brooke didn't hear clearly.

"Ah, I mean, can your soul still come out of your body?"

"As expected of the world-renowned pirate captain, Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho~ Yes, my soul can still leave my body." Brook immediately wanted to demonstrate, he opened his hands, stood still for a while under the expectant eyes of everyone, and then laughed: "Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho, that's it."

"Fart! Nothing has changed at all!"

"You said so firmly, you just took a pose and stopped for a while."

"Our captain said that the soul is out of the body, do you think we haven't seen what your soul looks like?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Brook's reaction was to calmly walk to the side of the ship, leaning his body forward involuntarily until his skull hit the side of the ship, and the man and the ship formed a perfect right-angled triangle.

Before he could finish speaking, the man had already fallen on the deck.

Ace's expression became indescribable, is this person his brother's companion?If he had doubts before, now he can confirm it 100%.

That guy Luffy always likes such strange people, so 100%, this Mr. Skeleton is the partner of Luffy he has never seen before.

Gray was very calm, and asked again, "Can I get into someone else's body?"

"This." Brook hesitated for a while. He had never considered this before. After thinking about it, he quickly denied it. "I don't think this is possible, Captain Gray. A soul can only match one body."

"Well, it's the soul again." Gray nodded in understanding.

In this world, the soul is a special kind of existence, the most common is the human soul, and then the devil's soul that is rumored to exist in the devil fruit.

There are also ship spirits that are rarer than devil fruits, those two magical Homitz, the so-called souls of non-living things.

Speaking of Homitz, Gray suddenly remembered that they were still left next to BIG MOM. Since the other party was going to enter the city of advancement, then the flaming Homitz should have a new home.

It's not that Gray forgot about that cloud, but that Homitz will quickly weaken after leaving BIG MOM. Both Gray and Ace can support the consumption of Flame Homitz, but that cloud, I don't know if Andrew's ability will work or not.

Gray said, "Forget it, Perry, Ace, go to Warring States and tell me that I want those two Homitz."

"Me?" Ace nodded, and agreed without much thought, "Okay."

After he left, Gray also finished asking questions, and the rest of the time was given to others.

Everyone surrounded Brooke and touched him curiously from time to time. It was strange that Brooke, as a person with bones, could still feel oxygen and shed tears from those two dark eye sockets.

Oden asked excitedly: "Hey, is Kokichi going to board our boat?"

"Ah" Brook's mouth that was laughing slowly closed, and his whole body became quiet. He accepted the fact that his companions died last night, and those skeletons were still sleeping peacefully in the captain's cabin.

Until Mi Tian invited him, he hadn't thought about what to do next.

Everyone looked at Gray in unison. It was up to the captain to decide whether to accept a newcomer.

Gray shrugged and said, "I have no objection, but this matter still depends on Mr. Skeleton. Do you have any plans for the future?"

Brook shook his head, "To be honest, I don't know where to go after that."

"This place is called the Terrible Delta. We just entered by mistake. If you don't leave with us, you may not meet anyone for a long time." Perry was not threatening Brook, but telling the truth.

They broke in because they were not familiar with the sea area here. If they were other pirates, they would not enter here on their own initiative.

Moreover, even the sails of the dilapidated three-masted sailing ship are rotten, and there is no other way to drive it except to drift with the current. Brook will live here alone.

"Come with us, the adventure is really great!" Oden spared no effort to sell, and it could be seen that he really liked this Mr. Skeleton.

"Hesitating is not what men do."

"Say goodbye to the past and welcome a new life, each of us is here."

Brook looked at the smiling people around him, and for a moment, it was as if he had gone back in time.

Their faces gradually blurred into the appearance of his familiar companions. The wind was blowing, the three-masted sailboat of the Rumba Pirates was sailing on the sea, the black flags of the pirates were fluttering, and there was the short cry of the whale Rab in his ears.

"Hey! Brook, how long are you going to sleep!"

"Get up, I saw the island."

"It's Summer Island, it's the beach!"

"Hey, Brook, your quick cut is so good! Teach me how to use swords too."

"Really, since I came to this sea area, I can't predict it, and my body can't bear it."

"But that's what makes the end of the day drink so good, now, isn't it, Brooke."

After the day's sea voyage was over, the restaurant was very lively during dinner. Captain Yankee was holding a glass of rum. After answering his partner's complaints, he raised his glass to Brook with a smile.

"Hi! Brooke."

"I'm on the ship!" Brook pulled out of his memory, and the image of Captain Yankee blurred again, and finally turned into the face of a young man with black hair and black eyes. Suddenly, he whispered: "Ah, it's Captain Gray."

"Did it scare you? Because you suddenly lost your mind just now." Gray laughed, his eyes were black and white, and this smile seemed to brighten the dark surroundings.

Brook also laughed. At this moment, he made an important decision in his heart.

He bowed to Gray very solemnly, and said, "Captain Gray, I have a gracious request."

"what?"

"Please bury our Magic Flute at sea."

"The Magic Flute. So that ship is called the Magic Flute." Gray looked at the three-masted sailing ship.

"Yes, the captain likes the song "The Magic Flute" very much, so our ship is called the Magic Flute." Brooke said with a smile: "Instead of letting it float on the sea, let it have a destination like other pirate ships."

"I refuse." Gray said, "It's better for you to do this kind of thing."

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, that's right." Brook smiled again, "It's better for me to do it."

Perry wrapped a torch at the right time and handed it over. Gray snapped his fingers, and the black fire burned on the torch.

Gray handed the torch to Brook, "The sea is dark and boring, with those people in the company, the Magic Flute will not feel lonely."

-

Ace came to the deck of the warship, but did not see Sengoku in it.

The reason why Gray changed his words and let him come was because Prometheus was Homitz of flames. If it were someone else, he might be burned. The other party was always extraordinarily careful in such details.

The navies have a bad attitude towards Black Fireworks. They are fearful and vigilant, and they cannot attack because of the order of the Warring States Period.

Living in peace is the best choice, at least none of them have the strength to fight this pirate group.

A marine asked Ace, "Excuse me, what can I do?"

Ace was not used to being treated politely by the Navy, so he scratched his head and said, "I want to find Sengoku."

The navy quickly called out Zhan Guo from the cabin, and after seeing that it was Ace, Zhan Guo's expression was obviously a little colder, "What's the matter, Yanjie Ace."

"Grey wants the two Homitz from Big Mom," Ace said.

"What the hell is he trying to do?" Zhan Guo frowned, weighed in his mind for a moment, and decided to agree, "Forget it, come with me."

The two Homitz were locked in a cage alone, because BIG MOM was holding Hai Loushi weak, and the two little guys were also weak and weak, and they didn't even have the energy to break through an iron cage.

If he refuses, Gray is afraid that he will find him himself, and the Warring States will definitely be annoyed to death by then, so they are just two vassals, just give them to him.

Ace followed Sengoku a few steps away, silent.

But Zhan Guo said: "You are very vigilant, but when you are alone with me, have we met before?"

Ace was taken aback, and denied, "No, we've never seen it before." He was just subconsciously wary of the next admiral of the navy.

After all, in his impression, this Marshal is carrying out the "justice that reigns in the world". Since he was young, he has firmly believed in the government's orders, and has climbed to his current position because of his reliable completion of tasks. For those who doubt the government, even his companions will become targets of attack. He is so loyal to the navy.

The impression cannot be changed in a day or two. Although through this period of contact, Ace also saw that Sengoku is not a stubborn person. He knows how to be flexible. When he knew that his warship was not strong enough to escort Lockes, he decisively chose to cooperate with the pirates.

Of course, it may also be because Gray is someone he knows, no, most of the reasons come from this, he is indifferent to the pirates except Gray.

Zhan Guo glanced at him with strong scrutiny, and finally commented: "You are not very good at lying."

"Uh" Ace was speechless, well, anyway, it's fine if he refuses to admit it, if he doesn't know him, he doesn't know him.

"Those two Homitz were put together alone." Sengoku opened the door of a cell and took out a cage. "When you go back, tell Gray that we are leaving today. That Charlotte is so delicious that the food reserves on the warship will be exhausted soon."

"Okay." Ace nodded, wanting to take it.

As soon as Zhan Guo moved away, he said helplessly, "Forget it, I'll go with you."

"Ah, no, I don't need to bother you." Ace felt that such a trivial matter did not require another trip by Sengoku.

Zhan Guo's eyes were light, and he explained unprecedentedly: "I still have something to say to him."

Walking out of the cabin of the warship, the burnt smell in the air poured into the tip of his nose.

Sengoku and Ace looked at the direction where the smell came from at the same time, and saw that the three-masted sailing ship that was originally docked near the warship had moved away for a certain distance, and was burning with raging flames at the moment.

From a distance, it seems to be swallowed by a distorted space.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, well, Magic Flute and everyone, let me play the last farewell song for you." Brook set up the violin and stood alone on a small boat below the Magic Flute.

"What's going on?" Ace ran back to his companion, not understanding why the sea burial started in just a short period of time.

"Farewell to the past and welcome a brand new future." Gray smiled at him, "We need a new partner to join us, Ace."

"Brook?" Ace suddenly said, "He is welcome to join."

"But if this is the case, will Bud clean the deck in the future?" Colin joked.

"Hey, the two musicians are also very good, Colin." Bud didn't want to clean the deck, "I also welcome Brook to join."

"Please, Brook doesn't mean to join us yet." Perry couldn't help pouring a bucket of ice water on everyone, and when everyone looked at him in disbelief, Perry held his forehead, "That guy just asked us to help him bury him at sea."

"Isn't that what you mean to join?" Gray was dumbfounded. "Who else could he join besides us, the Navy?"

"Hey, I'm still here." The hashtag popped out from the forehead of Zhan Guo, why did the words come out of Gray's mouth with a different meaning.

"Why are you here, Sengoku?" Gray asked again.

Zhan Guo clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm here to beat you."

"Hey?"
