One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The black fire burned quickly, and almost when Brook finished playing the last note, the last trace of ashes on the Magic Flute also disappeared with the sea breeze.

Brook stood quietly for a while before he drove the boat back to the Blacks. As soon as he got on the side of the ship, he saw the captain of Black Firework being held up by his collar by a certain navy, and apologized bitterly.

The others didn't respond, and if they had to say something, it would be gloating.

Brook couldn't figure out the relationship between these two ships. A warship and a pirate ship were supposed to be incompatible. Now, it seemed that the two ships were sailing together.

Sengoku glanced at Brooke, the nose song Brooke of the Skeleton Rumba Pirates, if his strength was the same as before, he would be considered a difficult existence.

He let go of his hand and said to Gray: "Hurry up and get your people ready."

"Yes, yes, you are always in such a hurry." Gray adjusted his collar and waved to everyone, "Okay, Charles, look at the direction and set sail."

"Okay." Charles replied.

Ace climbed up the mast, lowered the sails, and looked down. Everyone was doing their duties, only Gray was lying leisurely on the deck chair, and by the way, there was Brooke.

Although Mr. Skeleton decided to leave this sea area and bid farewell to the Magic Flute, he has not yet decided whether to join the pirate group.

Black Fireworks, the overlord of the new world that has been heard for a long time, will come to the paradise, and his personality and temper are completely different from those introduced in the rumors.

And as far as Brook knew, there was already a musician on board.

Just as he was thinking, a person suddenly jumped down from the deck beside him. Brook was startled, and then he wanted to say something awkwardly, "That."

"My name is Ace." Ace smiled brightly, "You are welcome to join, Brooke."

"Hello, I'm actually." I haven't decided whether to join or not.

"You missed a very fun banquet last night, but every newcomer should have a banquet when they join, right?"

"actually."

"However, your welcome party may have to be postponed for a while. I guess it will take until the capital of water."

Brook looked at Ace with dark eyes.

He always felt that Ace did it on purpose, but looking at this person's sunny smiling face, Brooke dispelled his suspicions. Perhaps it was a coincidence that a person with such a sunny smile should not be able to trick him.

He asked, "Are you going to the capital of water?"

"Well, we're going to change a ship in the water capital." Ace pointed to the conspicuous Adam wood branches on the warship, "That's the one, we're going to use it to make a new ship."

This branch was seen by Brooke last night. At first, he thought it was strange that there was such a big branch on the warship for what purpose, but now he realized that it was a material for pirates to build ships.

It's really weird no matter how you think about it, why the navy wants to help the pirates build a ship, it can't be the same.

Seeing that Brook didn't reply, Ace said again: "In short, everyone welcomes you to join, right, Gray?"

He yelled and was ignored, only to find out that Gray still had the cage containing Homitz on his lap, and he had fallen asleep on the recliner.

"It's true that I didn't sleep less during the night watch." Ace had no choice but to lower his voice consciously, "Let's go, the cabins are full now, you can stay with me for a while, and you can pull a new hammock."

Brook wanted to laugh a few times, but was afraid of waking up the captain, so he just nodded at last, "I'm in trouble."

After the two left, Gray took a deep breath and opened his eyes, shaking the cage in his hand. The two weak Homitz inside only opened a crack of their eyes, and they didn't even have the momentum to speak harshly.

Gray reached in and fed Prometheus a cluster of flames, and Prometheus regained some energy. His eyes opened, and his whole body was on fire, as if he wanted to speak harshly to Gray, but remembering all the things before, he was already full of fear for this man, so he said nothing in the end.

"You know that Big Mom is going to jail, right?" Gray cut to the chase, "Without her, you would all die."

"What do you want to do?" Prometheus asked warily.

"I'm not interested in you guys."

"Then why did you bring us here from that navy?" Prometheus was conscious before, but his body was so weak that he couldn't move at all.

Gray poked it down, looked at Prometheus' expression that dared not speak, and a smile appeared on his lips, "You are really useless to me, but it is undeniable that your abilities are not bad. If you want to live, you will follow Ace in the future."

"Ace? That guy with white fire?" Prometheus rolled his eyes, weighing the pros and cons. At least the guy with white fire looked a little more bully.

"Yeah, it's a good deal." Gray said, "Getting out of BIG MOM, this is your only chance to survive."

"Deal!" Prometheus planned to compromise first, and then if there was a chance to escape to MOM, it would definitely escape.

"That's good." Although Gray knows what this thing is thinking, it doesn't matter. At this stage, everyone takes what they need. When Ace can be alone, the value of this thing will not be great.

After that, he found Andrew again, and Andrew used his ability to try to feed the remaining Homitz.

Zeus ate the solid cloud, and when he gained strength, he couldn't help but began to mutter, "Thunder cloud is still delicious, and this kind of white cloud is simply boring.

"You still know it's boring." Andrew was about to be annoyed, he withdrew his ability, let Zeus keep apologizing and stopped feeding it.

In the end, the foodie Zeus succumbed to the power of lust for the sake of one bite, and became Oden's little follower.

As for Xia Qi, this child is now under the watchful eye of Gary, and there is no need for extra protection at all.

But Gray was quite surprised that Xia Qi was Gary's daughter.

In the future, this girl will be the owner of the "Racked" tavern in the Chambord Islands. Ace visited this tavern when he landed in the Chambord Islands, but he didn't happen to meet Roger's deputy, Rayleigh.

What would happen if you saw it?Gray didn't know, and Raleigh might not recognize this child as the captain's son. After all, Ace looked more like his mother than Roger.

The Blacks was sailing on the vast sea, and according to Charles' divination, everyone finally reached the edge of the dense fog. As soon as they rushed out, they were confronted by several newspaper gulls hovering in mid-air.

Perry habitually paid for a newspaper, and was stunned when he saw the headlines on the front page. After a while, he looked at Gray with a serious face, "Captain, something happened to Tracy and the others."

On the newspaper, it was written in bright red fonts—Sword Pirates and the World Government, Resistance and Sanctions.

"What do you mean?" Gray couldn't sit still anymore. He stepped forward, grabbed the newspaper in Perry's hand, and quickly scanned it. Newspapers always like to exaggerate everything, and Gray only picked a few key points in it.

After reading it, he went back to the captain's cabin and took out both the phone bug and Teresi's life cards. The life cards started to burn from one side, almost halfway through, which meant that Teresi was still alive, but in a very bad condition.

It shouldn't be, Gray thought to himself, in memory, there shouldn't be any major events at this time.

No. Wait, not long after the pirate auction ended, it seemed that there was indeed a battle - one of the Five Old Stars, the tall and thin middle-aged man got a famous sword in that battle.

The first generation of the famous sword Oni Toru.

Because it happened not long after Gray's death, and Gray was still immersed in the loneliness of not being seen by anyone at that time, and he didn't listen carefully to other people's discussions at all, so it is understandable to forget it for a while.

Gray started bugging Teresi on the phone, but no one answered the first time, and no response until the second time.

"Hello." The phone bug imitated the voice of the vice-captain Zell of the Sword Pirates, with deep fatigue and vigilance, "It should be Captain Gray."

"Oh, where's Tracy?" Gray asked.

"The captain is in a coma due to poisoning, and now I have been in charge of the ship's affairs." Zell glanced at Teresi, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, and tightened the microphone in his hand, a little unwillingly, "Followed by the world government, I lost half of my brothers, damn it! Even the captain's knife"

"I read the papers, how is Teresi, where are you now?"

"We are now trapped in the territory of the Red and Black Pirates. The poison in the captain has been dealt with in time, but the ship's doctor has no clue about the detoxification. We can only ensure that the captain is alive first, and then consider other things."

"The situation is fine. I thought we were in a desperate situation." Gray's tone was obviously relaxed. "The Red and Black Pirates owed us a favor at the auction before. You can contact Anne and ask her to take you to Dressrosa to find a woman named Nora. Nora's ability can detoxify."

"Understood, I'll do it right away." Zell's eyes lit up when he heard Gray's words, and he was about to leave when he heard a voice from the side.

"Give me the phone bug." Teresi, who didn't know when she woke up, struggled to get up, and finally lay down in vain. Just this one made his breathing quicken.

"Captain!" Zell hurried over and raised the microphone to Teresi's mouth, "What do you want to say?"

Teresi was sweating profusely, and said to the silent microphone: "Grey, you have done enough just now and the rest. We will solve it by ourselves. We don't need you to come back to help us."

The microphone was silent for a long time before Gray's voice came.

"It's funny, I don't want to go back, okay, I still have things to do here." Gray said: "Everyone has their own adventure, life and death are fate, Teresi."

"Ha, haha, okay, this is the best." Teresi slowed down again, "Let's wait for me to take back Guiche, let's talk about the rest."

"Ah, Guiche really should take it back. Isn't that what your master left for you?"

"Master? Ha, hahahaha, yes, my master." Teresi laughed a few times, with mocking eyes.

What master, that is a liar.

After feigning death in front of him, he left Guiche to him just to let him absorb the evil spirit in the demon sword. To put it bluntly, he used his sacrificial knife to suppress Guicheli's ominous power.

As the five old stars of the world government, that bastard played him so miserably. Fortunately, he still insisted on mastering each other like an idiot.

"Captain." Zell yelled worriedly.

"I'm fine." Teresi was dizzy for a while, and soon passed out again. Since the poisoning, he has been awake and comatose at times like this.

The ship's doctor said that it was not just because of poisoning, but partly because of the sudden burst of emotions squeezed in his heart.

Gray hung up the phone, the phone bug's eyes drooping.

Perry asked, "Captain, are we going back?"

"Let's go back and help them, Reggie!" Oda shouted.

"Yes, Captain, do you want to go back?"

"Grey, go back."

"No, what are we going back for?" Gray wondered, "Didn't you hear what Tracy said on the phone? He doesn't want our help~"

"but."

"It's nothing but, Tracy looks easy to talk to, but he's actually very proud. He said he doesn't need help, but he doesn't need help. Besides, it's not like we didn't help him."

Gray understands Tracy, and because of that, he made such a decision, "All we have to do is respect his choice."

"Well, since the captain said so." Colin said: "It's not that everyone hasn't dealt with Teresi, that guy really has a strong personality."

"I still don't understand." Mitian pouted, "Why don't you save him, isn't he our friend?"

Gray swears, what can you not understand, don't you just die like Teresi because you don't want to accept help from others.

But at that time, Roger was still a white beard, and there was no need to be afraid of Kaido, a brat.

Gray also only heard about Oden's deeds, and this is what he didn't understand. It's okay to look for Roger and Whitebeard. Roger may be sick, but Rayleigh, Jabba, and Whitebeard are still at the peak of their strength. Anyone, let alone defeating Kaido, can at least drive him away.

One thing that Wano Country is too closed to the outside world and the news is blocked, Oden probably didn't bother to ask for help.

"If you were Tracy, would you come to me when you were in danger?" Gray asked the question back.

Mitian frowned, and thought for a while before saying, "I...I don't seem to know either."

He was a little frustrated, why did he come to such a conclusion? It seemed that, as Gray said, everyone has their own adventures, and he also wanted to solve any problems by himself, without bothering Gray and everyone, because they also have their own adventures.

It is wrong to interrupt another's adventure casually, and a samurai is never allowed to show weakness to others.

"Actually, Oden, it's not a shame to compromise with reality. When you realize that you are not capable enough, you can accept help from others. This is not a shame. On the contrary, you can face up to your own weaknesses, which is something to be proud of."

"Those who are strong will suffer more. All tragedies happen because of the lack of ability of those involved."
