One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"The scars on the back are the shame of a swordsman." When Jhin stood up again and said this, Gray was inevitably stunned for a moment. There was a person in his memory who also said this to him in such a firm tone.

"In that case," Gray said, "I respect your choice."

"--clang!"

The samurai sword collided in the air and made a loud noise, which made Jhin's hand go numb. He wanted to grit his teeth and use the final blow to prove his strength, but who knew that the next moment, the Griffin in Gray's hand suddenly started from the hilt, and the blackness spread to the blade.

It was the armed color, and Jhin suddenly realized that this person had never used the armed color before, but only used the overlord color when he cut the building at the very beginning.

With just a very easy movement of swinging the sword, Jhin was sent flying again, hitting the building behind, and then stopped.

There was a wound on his chest from the upper left to the lower right, and he gritted his teeth without making a sound.

Gray looked at Celt, who was frightened by his gaze and took half a step back, and stopped abruptly when he realized it.

Celt didn't want to admit his cowardice, because Gray was always his nightmare, he hated flames, and he hated people who used them.

"Haaah——" The ice spread rapidly from the soles of his feet, he panted heavily, and there was a continuous roar in his throat, and the cold air spread from his body and mouth, and in a short time, it actually overwhelmed the temperature of the flames.

Gray was so excited that even Arpaio and Ace glanced here.

The wound on Jhin's body was frozen, and he no longer bleeds or feels pain. He looked down at the ice quickly spreading to his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he had already reached his knees, and even had an upward trend. He immediately realized that Celt was going to make the final attack.

As soon as the burning ground touched the ice, there was a sizzling sound, and the magma quickly turned black. In just a moment, the ice replaced the magma and dominated the ground.

"Thousands of miles of ice!" At the same time as Celt roared, several ice thorns flashed with cold light, rising from the ground that had been frozen.

Ace and Gray were attacked at the same time. The two were frozen in the ice puck, and several spikes pierced their bodies.

Arpaio returned to Jhin's side when Celt launched an attack, "Are you all right?"

"Prisoner, I'm fine." Jin smiled miserably, through the mask, no one could see that his face was as pale as white paper.

This was what they saw when Perry and the others who had evacuated from the sixth basement level rushed out.

"Hey, Captain, you saved the man!" Bud shouted after a long distance.

Arpaio looked in surprise, and saw the white beard in prison uniform at a glance. This was the prisoner sent by Lieutenant General Hebrew some time ago, and he didn't say that he was a black firework man at the time.

After Celt used this move, his physical strength was exhausted. He fell down, and the last thing he saw was the burning black fire.

"Get out and go." A mass of black flames quickly burned into a human form, Gray appeared next to the ice puck, and put Griffin back into the scabbard.

It took Ace some time to melt the puck before he came out. When he saw Whitebeard, his eyes lit up immediately, "Oh! Old, uh, it's Newgate." - Calling Dad's name or something, it's really unfilial for a son.

But there was no way, even if he didn't mind, the still young White Beard would still mind being called Dad by a man his own age.

"Brother Ace, I've already heard from Perry and the others that you are the one who persisted in coming to save me." Whitebeard walked up to Ace, and the latter's sight wandered with a cry of brother.

"Hahaha, because...Because Gray also likes you very much." Ace laughed dryly: "Of course, of course I like you too."

"He's too guilty." Bud shook his head, disappointed with Ace's performance.

They gave all the credit to Ace on the road, and they didn't want him to gain more favorability in front of White Beard.

"After all, being called a brother by my father." Demon expressed his understanding, "It's really weird."

"Okay, hurry back to the boat, we are leaving." Perry urged everyone, it would be too bad if the road was blocked by a warship.

"You can't go anywhere." Arpaio's magma was finally used without any scruples. Before, he was afraid of destroying the above-ground buildings in the city, but now, if these people are really allowed to leave, the crime is much heavier than destroying the above-ground buildings.

Arpaio jumped into the air, and a large piece of magma fell off him, engulfing the surrounding ice. Because of the sudden increase in temperature, the distant ice turned into water vapor even before it touched the magma.

For a moment, it seemed like a magma rain fell here. The rain was dense, and the buildings, forests, instruments of torture...all the things left on the ground burned in an instant.

The wooden bridge connecting the advancing city and the outer wall is also burning, and dark red ashes are swaying in the air. This is not a stone of Hailou Stone. Once it breaks, Blacks must enter the advancing city to pick them up. At that time, he will be surrounded by warships in this small space, and no one wants to see it.

"I'll finish it off." Ace's white flames formed a wall of fire, resisting a large piece of magma falling towards his companions. He would no longer be helpless in the face of magma as before.

Gray never stopped the growth of a child, he waved to everyone decisively, "Get on board!"

Whitebeard was grabbed by Teuton and ran towards the outer wall door. The latter said to him: "Don't worry, the captain will not leave. This battle belongs to Ace's growth."

So leaving is not abandoning your companions, running on the wooden bridge, you will feel a burning sensation under your feet, don't think about it, everyone will probably be covered in blisters when they are safe.

"I will defeat you." Ace's flames confronted Arpaio's magma in the air, he roared and slowly approached, the flames in his body burned more and more with his belief.

Every step he took was burning, and the heat waves caused by the high temperature actually caused air currents to blow up in this windless zone, but this air currents were dangerous enough to burn the skin.

Gray was relieved by that, but at this moment something in the water caught his attention.

At the same time, Oden on the Blacks also felt a palpitation, which made him step off the side of the ship and fall on the deck.

Brook, who was also defending against the shells, immediately stepped forward to help him, "Mr. Mita, are you alright?"

Alder laughed and wanted to laugh, but the sudden dimming of light around him made him stop smiling.

Around the city, huge creatures popped up from all directions, and hundreds of sea kings emerged, making the sea water make a thunderous sound, and all the ships were like toys in front of these huge guys.

One can do it, two can do it, the pirates on Blacks have never been afraid of calm belts and sea kings, but they have never been in contact with this situation.

For a short while, everyone's mouths were open, and no one could understand what was happening in front of them.

Countless huge, terrifying eyes stared down at these toys.

There was a wonderful and rhythmic sound wave in the air, gathered together, so loud that everyone couldn't help but want to cover their ears.

Oden curled up on the ground, those voices were incomprehensible to other people's ears, but he could hear them very clearly, not only clearly, he knew exactly what these voices were saying.

"Hurry up" Gray covered his head and yelled at everyone who was still in a daze on the outer wall, "Hurry up and get on the boat! Hurry up!!!" He rarely spoke in such a roaring voice. Obviously, even he was caught off guard by the current situation.

He couldn't protect everyone in this situation, so he used such a tone, it's safest to get on the ship as soon as possible.

"Come to shore! The sea kings are angry." Oden shouted to Alder.

The ship quickly approached the port, and the warship ignored them and fired directly at the sea kings. The guards and the navy swore that they had never seen such a situation.

In the sea area several kilometers around the city, there are sea kings, big or small—the smallest one is several times bigger than a ship.

Generally speaking, there will be no Neptunes attacking the vicinity of the city where there are sea towers and stones everywhere, because they will treat this place as sea water itself. This is the first time in so many years.

The sea kings ignored the shells tickling them, and used their bodies to slam into everything they could see. The Blacks narrowly avoided the sea kings' attacks again and again.

Prometheus worked hard to increase the flame, and he knew in his heart that if he was lazy at this time, he would be buried in the sea with the others.

"Zeus, take the man over!" Oden grabbed Zeus, who was screaming with a broken face, and threw it towards the port. Zeus suddenly grew bigger in the air, cursing the shamelessness of human beings, and crying to avoid the sea kings.

When everyone is fighting against the sea kings, only it can bring back everyone trapped in the port.

"It's too heavy, too heavy!" After receiving the crowd, Zeus cried and complained, ignoring what they said about the captain and Ace, and wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.

Homitz, who has self-awareness, can't be completely controlled by anyone except BIG MOM.

"Ace!" Gray grabbed Ace's arm, and the two ran towards the wooden bridge.

At this moment, the wooden bridge was already in jeopardy. It was scorched black by the flames, and countless ashes were shaken off with a light step.

The sea kings noticed this, and immediately leaned over to bite the wooden bridge. The black fire made contact with the sea kings' flesh in the air.

The burnt aroma of flesh and flesh mixed with the original smell of the sea in the air, constantly stirring the stomach of the person who smelled it.

Apaio looked at the backs of the two, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes. He finally swung a blow with magma and hit the wooden bridge behind.

Gray, who was on the wooden bridge, grabbed Ace by the collar, stepping on the air on Yuebu, and at the same time as the wooden bridge smashed into the sea, he brought Ace to a relatively safe port.

"Why did the sea kings riot?" Ace asked.

"Because the sea water is boiled." Gray had a strange expression, "Ace, do you like trapeze people?"

"what?"

"They can't get close, and Yuebu can't stay in the air for too long." Gray explained: "The main reason is that you are too heavy."

Before Ace could react, Gray pulled Ace's arm into the air again, aimed at the Blacks and threw it.

"Want to catch him?"

"It might be enough."

After a short conversation, Ace fell into the soft and thick grass. Although the landing point was soft enough, due to the distance, Ace was rolled on the deck a few times before stopping.

"It's really a perfect confluence." Demon breathed a sigh of relief, and said anxiously: "Ace, go to the cabin, the flames of Prometheus can't let us go upstream."

Just as they were talking, several sea kings rushed towards them again, and the sea water was stirred up. Alder and Abel tried their best to make the rudder adjust the direction with difficulty.

Pirates and the sea have always been pirates attached to the sea, and the power of nature can always defeat humans with an overwhelming advantage.

It was difficult for the Blakes to control its direction, and the ability to keep it from overturning was already due to everyone's best efforts and excellent steering skills.

The boat was engulfed by the current, and it was getting farther and farther away from Gray.

Gray in the air didn't get on the boat right away, obviously he was in a big crisis, and several sea kings opened their mouths wide open at him.

Gray swears that he has never felt more popular than he is now, even though it is a few ugly sea kings who want to eat him.

He also thought that he was not very tasty. He wondered if the sea kings would spit it out after eating him, but he might not have chewed it. He didn't like this eating habit of swallowing food whole.

Letting an ability user who can't swim at all stay on the surface of the sea is like giving a reprieve.

Gray thought a lot, but he didn't think about anything serious, because he knew he wouldn't die, and even if the ship couldn't get through, the crew would think of other ways.

Zeus was once again given high hopes. Its flexibility in accepting people before - that is, its ability to escape is much more reliable than Andrew's cloud.

The latter yelled that men are all the same, and rushed towards Gray in aggrieved and angry manner. It nimbly avoided the bodies of sea kings and shuttled through the cracks.

The surrounding focus is only the bodies of sea kings floating out of the sea, and Gray holds Griffin in the air and allows himself to fall freely.

A Neptune opened its mouth wide and took him whole in its mouth.

A cross-shaped wound appeared from the inside of the body, and blood spurted and splashed. Gray stepped on the inner cavity of the sea king, rushed out again with his strength, and stood on the body of a sea king.

"Zeus is too slow."

What can Zeus do? Its path is blocked by sea kings, and it was almost eaten many times.

Gray muttered, suddenly his feet slipped, and he fell off the sea king.

The sea kings shook their bodies, and the blood stimulated their ferocity. They constantly changed their postures in the sea, eating up the killed sea kings.

Gray fell into the sea, the sea water was hot, no wonder the sea kings were angered, the windless zone was their territory, and the battle of ability users disturbed their lives.

The feeling of falling into the sea is not bad, but you can't feel every part of your body, like a waking soul imprisoned in a body that can't move.

In the sea, there are many sea kings wandering in groups, like reefs, and there are much more sea kings hiding in the dark than above the sea.

All Gray could do was keep his eyes open as much as possible, and before everything seemed to blur, he felt someone's arms wrap around his shoulders and start pulling him upwards.

Ah. Could it be Teutonic? In the territory of Neptunes, murlocs will also feel difficult.

Gray held his breath and thought, his eyes looked to the side, his white-haired golden eyes, under the shadow covered by the sea kings, were as bright and dazzling as jewels.

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and opened his mouth to say something, but he used up the last bit of air, and the sea water scrambled into his mouth, turning what he wanted to say into bubbles and floating to the surface of the sea.

Alfred clicked his tongue and speeded up his ascent, and the two emerged from the sea.

"Cough out the sea water!" He roared, as he did any time before, with one hand on Gray's chest, and the other hand hammered on Gray's back a few times.

"——cough, cough, cough, cough, cough!" The violent cough seemed to blow out the trachea, and Gray was still thinking about talking at this time, the shock in his heart was more than any other emotion, and his eyes were inevitably red.

"Shut up." Alfred knew what Gray wanted to say, they always had such a tacit understanding, even though they hadn't seen each other for several years, this tacit understanding still firmly tied the two together.

Many of the scars on the arm used to count the time have decayed, and after soaking in sea water for a while, the pain became more and more painful.

Zeus rushed over at this time, and shouted, "Come up quickly, eh? Why are there more people, oops, don't worry, hurry up."

Gray firmly grasped the prison uniform on Alfred's body. He knew this man too well. If he didn't hold on tightly at this time, this man would run away.

Although there are sea kings all around, Alfred is not a capable person, he is the only one, and there is no problem in getting out.

"You go up first." Alfred wanted to send Gray to Zeus's back, but the latter grabbed his clothes, and he didn't know where he got the strength to soak in the sea.

He scolded angrily: "What time is it!"

"Don't try to run away." Gray didn't mean to let go.

Alfred glared at Gray, who gritted his teeth and glared at him.

"I didn't want to run away."

They always have to meet and then confront each other. Alfred doesn't want to admit that he is soft-hearted. This kind of emotion should not exist in the captain of SWORD.

But hell, in his original plan, now is not the time to meet.
