One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Why should I disembark!"

"What do you mean by that?"

Ace and Lujiu's questioning sounded at the same time.

Facing the two somewhat similar faces, Gray suddenly thought, as expected, his son followed his mother, and it was really lucky that Ace didn't inherit Roger's looks.

"Why are you in a daze, Gray, what you said just now is too much!" Ace pointed at Gray, and said unceremoniously to the captain of the black firework: "If you tell me to leave, I will leave! Why, you have to take responsibility for bringing me into this world!"

"Well~ calm down," Gray corrected the flaws in Ace's words, "First of all, I'm not trying to drive you away, but just offering you a possibility; secondly, I'm not the one who brought you into this world, so it's not my turn to be responsible~"

"What are you guys talking about?" Lu Jiu listened at the side, confused, what brought it to this world, isn't Ace from this world?
"This matter is a bit complicated to explain." Gray said to Lu Jiu: "In short, do you have a place to live now?"

"Ah?" Why did the topic suddenly change here.

Lu Jiu replied truthfully: "I haven't found a hotel yet."

"Okay, do you mind camping? Let's hold a big banquet tomorrow. I heard that the meat in the city of water is delicious." Gray said: "It's too late today, hurry up and go back to rest."

The three of them returned to the temporary camp on Hulk Island, and only Dunn and Brooke, who were on vigil, stayed up.

Mr. Skeleton took a breath when he saw Lu Jiu, and stood up suddenly from the ground, his voice always had a rhythm unique to musicians, "Ah~ beautiful little girl"

As a result, before he could finish speaking, he was kicked and flew by Ace, and all the rest of the words turned into screams.

"If you dare to say that, I will beat you to the ground!" Ace waved his fist and warned unceremoniously.

"Actually, you've already beaten him to the ground." Tang En shook his head and looked at Lu Jiu, "So the lady brought back is...well, that reporter."

He originally wanted to say that this lady is your mother, but he felt that it was inappropriate when he said it, so he finally changed it to the reporter.

Lu Jiu hadn't recovered from the fear of seeing the skeleton alive, it took a few seconds for Lu Jiu to react, and immediately bowed and introduced herself.

Ace returned to Lu Jiu's side, and said very reliably: "That skeleton is also our companion, but he often says some strange things, if he says strange things to you, remember to call me, I will beat him up."

"Captain, are you sure this is okay?" Tang En walked to Gray and asked in a low voice; "Would Lu Jiu fall in love with Ace?"

"Why do you think that?" Gray looked at him in horror.

"A normal woman would not go home with a man when they met for the first time, not to mention that we are pirates, so Lu Jiu must have different feelings for Ace. This kind of feeling may be the affection between mother and child, but Lu Jiu doesn't know this relationship, and she can easily misunderstand it as love."

Gray paused for a long time before he understood Tang En's meaning. He looked educated and asked, "Then what should we do?"

"It's best to talk to her clearly."

Gray nodded, "Well, let's find a suitable opportunity, how about a banquet tomorrow?"

"It's up to you to decide, and Brooke is also welcome to join."

-

Early the next morning, everyone saw Lu Jiu who was helping Andrew with the ingredients and Ace who was watching Lu Jiu giggle.

"I didn't expect Ace's mother to be so beautiful." Alder touched his chin and sighed, then rushed to Ace's side and hooked the latter's shoulders, his tone wavered, "Ace~ Let me ask you a question."

"Tell me." Ace looked at him.

"Do you mind changing your father?" Alder brushed his hair, "For example, me."

Ace smiled, "Then I'll ask you a question too."

"What do you mean~ Brothers don't need to beat around the bush."

Ace moved his knuckles, gritted his teeth and said, "Do you mind if I kill you!"

Alder sensed the danger, immediately let go of Ace and ran away, and said bravely, "Hey, hey, forget it if you don't want to~"

"It really deserves it." Abel didn't want to admit that this was his brother, and he was really putting his life to death, and he never tired of it.

"Can I take a look at this sword?" Oden looked excitedly at the Western sword that suddenly protruded from Gray's waist. There was nothing special about it from the scabbard and hilt. Only by pulling it out could you truly appreciate the charm of this sword.

Gray untied the sword generously, "It's called Griffin."

"Okay~" Yutian ran away with the sword, and then Perry came over and asked, "Captain, have you gone to see the steel bone marshal?"

"Yeah, I know a lot of interesting things."

"As long as it's not a bad thing."

"Well, as long as it's not a bad thing."

As soon as I finished speaking, bad things came.

The shipwrights who had been rescued before came to Hulk Island and brought the news that Tom was missing and not in the water capital.

Gray felt it was a pity, but they still had to rush to find Whitebeard, so they couldn't delay for too long.

"Then follow the previous plan, Demon." Gray said to Demon: "I'll leave the shipbuilding to you."

"Don't worry, it must be much better than that Jerry." Demon regained the right to build the ship, feeling a lot more relaxed.

"Haha, call him whatever you want." Gray shrugged, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, Garp and the others are also in the water capital, should we call them at the banquet?"

"Won't the navy take us all away, Captain?" Bud joked.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, this proposal is really bold~ Captain Gray, I was so shocked that my eyes almost fell out. Ah, although I don't have eyes that can fall out Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho~" Brook, who was used to his skeleton body, never tired of telling cold jokes that only he could understand.

"It shouldn't matter~ If you only call them three, even if Sengoku wants to arrest us, Garp and Zefa will hold us down." Gray trusted the two navies who didn't play cards according to common sense.

Having said that, he stretched out his hand, and the flames flew out of his palm, forming three clusters and flying into the distance, "The city of water is not too big, and the knowledge and color can just sense the positions of the three of them."

"Whether you can come to the pirate's invitation is unknown." Colin reminded, "Captain, you will expose our location, and then we need at least a week to build the ship."

"Ah, I know."

Gray is indeed taking a risk. He will do something in the future, something that needs the help of these three people.

So now, it is an invitation on the surface, but it is actually a temptation.

"Guess who of these three will arrive first?"
