One Piece: The Eternal Flame

It is common for the captain to change the course, but this time the place he is going to is Mary Gioia—for a person who once betrayed him.

No matter how reluctant, no one will raise objections at this time.

Gray dragged Alfred into the cabin, and everyone looked at Perry.

Perry said: "Turn around, don't you want to go to Mary Gioia?"

"What's going on here?" Ace was still at a loss. He was injured for no reason, and no one has explained it to him until now.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, Mr. Ace, I don't really understand." Brooke also couldn't touch his skull, "But we're going to Marie Gioia soon, it's really scary to think about it."

"Is Marie Gioia a scary place?" Mita was keenly aware of everyone's emotions.

"Marie Gioia is the residence of the Tianlong people and the seat of the world government." Whitebeard explained to him, "In addition to the naval headquarters, this place is also a forbidden place for pirates."

"The World Government." Oden had heard of the World Government more than once, "Isn't that very dangerous? Reggie won't put everyone in danger, right?"

Whitebeard had no say in this, he didn't know the ship, so he kept silent.

Ace felt irritated for some reason. This irritability probably came from his ignorance of knowing nothing. He found that although he had integrated into this place, he still knew very little about what happened to this ship in the past.

"So who is that white-haired guy?" Ace asked the question that the three people who joined later wanted to know.

"Alfred, he used to be a part of the ship." Perry explained, "We have fought side by side together, but unfortunately, he is actually a very good navy."

"He betrayed Gray?" Ace's tolerance for traitors was extremely low, and when he mentioned the word, he could think of Tiki, that guy's betrayal came suddenly, and at this time Alfred's appearance was also very sudden.

"You've never spoken of such a man before."

"Everyone doesn't really want to mention him." Perry sighed, "But you should have such a guess, there were fourteen of us originally."

"Why do I have such a guess?" Ace felt strange.

"When you were on the ship, your room used to belong to Alfred. After he left, we wanted to turn it into a storage room, but the captain didn't agree, so we just stayed there. Otherwise, why do you think we put a bed in an empty room for no reason?"

Ace opened his mouth wide, as if he had never thought about it.

Now when Perry mentioned it, he suddenly felt that it was true. Everyone on the ship had their own room, and the storage rooms were all piled up. It was impossible to leave an empty cabin for a bed for no reason, just to salvage victims at sea.

"Then Gray is going to Marie Gioia for a traitor now?" Ace finally figured everything out.

"Gu la la la, I didn't expect Captain Gray to be such a soft-hearted guy." White Beard laughed.

Obviously this incident itself was extremely bad, but White Beard actually felt a sense of joy, and this joy came after seeing Gray get angry.

The reason for Gray's anger is simple. Although Alfred betrayed, he was once his crew member. The world government hurt his crew member without the captain's permission, which is itself a kind of provocation.

Even if this is the case with a traitor, it is not difficult to imagine how much Gray treats the crew.

Compared with Lockes, Gray is simply a more competent captain.

"Soft-hearted or something," Ace muttered, Dad, you are also the easiest person to soften your heart.

"Perry, are we really going?" Bud said: "Go and persuade the captain, the captain is definitely dazzled by the golden things again!"

"That's right! Sooner or later, I will cut out Alfred's eyeballs!" Alder gritted his teeth.

Perry rolled his eyes, "If I persuade him, I'll be the captain."

As soon as he said this, the crowd sighed.

At this moment, Gray came out of the cabin, and behind him Alfred changed into familiar clothes, and his exposed arms were tightly bound by white bandages.

"Newgate, go change your clothes too. You can't keep wearing prison uniforms." Gray looked at Whitebeard, "Teuton, give him your clothes."

"Okay." Teuton was the tallest one on board, and only his clothes could fit him a little better.

"After approaching the nearest red earth continent, all of you will stay on board."

"Captain, do you want to go alone?"

"This won't work! It's too dangerous."

Gray had obviously made up his mind, "It will be dangerous if there are too many people. It's fine for me and Fred to go. I can't take care of too many people."

"Isn't it more dangerous for you to go with a traitor?" Bud was annoyed, "In your heart, even if Alfred has become a traitor, he is safer than us, right?"

"Bud!" Colin warned in a low voice, "This is the captain's order."

"It's okay Colin." Gray smiled, "Bud is just saying what everyone thinks."

"I'm also going to tell everyone that this trip to Marie Gioia is my personal decision, and I didn't consider the pros and cons from the captain's point of view." Gray said seriously: "So you just need to wait nearby."

"Since you have already made up your mind, there is no need for us to dissuade you." Perry looked at Alfred, "But I want to remind you that some people betrayed once, there will be a second time, beware of traps."

"If I don't come back in three days"

"It won't be a trap." Alfred, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."

"This is the last time I trust you." Gray held out his hand, "Fred."

-

"What's your name?"

"Alfred, how many times have I said this, do you only have food for your brain?"

"Oh~ oh oh, in fact, besides food, I also have treasures in my mind. Well, let me call you Fred hahaha, has anyone called you that before?"

"Is anyone else as stupid as you? It's unheard of."

"Hahaha, then it seems that calling you like that is a unique title~"

"Whatever you want, why should I argue so much with a fool."

-

Alfred took Gray's hand.

Compared with ordinary people, Gray's palms are much hotter, and compared to him, a person who has been transformed and has no temperature, it is a world of difference.

The ship was sailing rapidly in the calm zone. This time it was Gray who was operating it. After absorbing the lesson from the previous time, the flame at the stern of the ship no longer stayed on the sea surface, so that it would not be exposed.

No one knows exactly how the Red Earth Continent was formed. It divided the entire world into two large pieces, intersecting the great sea route in a perfect cross.

Sailing straight along the windless belt, the red earth continent in front of you is the location of the Holy Land Mary Gioia.

When Andrew wanted to use his ability, Gray raised his hand to stop him, "No, I said this is my personal matter."

"But Captain, are you going to climb up?"

The Red Earth Continent soared into the sky, and it took a lot of energy to climb it.

"I've always wanted to climb to see it." Gray said, jumping from the side of the boat to the bottom shore of the Red Clay Continent, "Fred."

Alfred also jumped down, and the two watched the Blacks sail away slowly, looked at each other and began to climb up the red land.

No, it should be said that in the long future, a murloc named Tiger will successfully climb up to the Red Earth Continent and release all the slaves imprisoned by the Tianlong people.

He's a true hero, but Gray isn't.

Heroes go to rescue wherever there is suffering, sacrificing everything for others.

Gray never wanted to be a hero, all he did was to protect the people he wanted to protect, to explore his past, and the World Government was a hindrance to his goal and the chief culprit who hurt his important people, so he wanted to destroy it, that's all.

The two climbed very fast, perhaps because they wanted to compare each other, and they would feel uncomfortable if they were left behind by the people next to them.

Ace sat on the side of the boat, resting his chin and looking at the calm sea water. After a while, he said to the white beard beside him: "Newgate, do you want to form a pirate group by yourself?"

"What do you mean?" White Beard asked with a smile, "You want me to get off the boat?"

"That's not what I meant." Ace quickly denied it, but when he saw the smile on the corner of White Beard's mouth, he suddenly realized that the other party was joking with him.

He slumped his shoulders, "Oh, I can be smarter sometime, so I don't have to sigh here."

"Do you also want to go to the Red Earth Continent?"

"Everyone on the boat should think about it, Gray is too capricious." Ace exhaled heavily, "If you say you want to come to Marie Gioia, you can come, if you say you want to go alone, you can go alone."

He scolded, but forgot that he was such a willful guy once.

Leaving as soon as he said, hitting as soon as he said, things he didn't like, and never considering the consequences of shooting, made Deus more than once a headache.

"This is his decision, and I really appreciate that he can choose to do this without hesitation." Whitebeard patted Ace on the shoulder.

"why?"

"Because he made this decision not as the captain, but himself. The captain represents a pirate group. From the perspective of the captain, the betrayer cannot be forgiven; but to Gray himself, Alfred is very important to him, and this importance cannot be dispelled even by betrayal, so he made such a decision."

Ace took a deep breath, "Well, maybe you're right."

"Now all we have to do is wait." Whitebeard laughed, "Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow

"Come with me." Ace laughed. "Originally there was a banquet for the newcomers. Let's talk about it now when Gray comes back. By the way, we still have crew members placed on Daughter's Island. Let's hold another banquet together later."

"Oh, you've even been to the Daughter Island."

"Yes, yes, but men are not welcome on that island, so we stayed there for a while and then left without having time to visit."

"Ah~~~ Rayleigh!!! When will we get to the calm zone?"

"Don't make noise." Rayleigh frowned, "Scared all my fish away."

"Are you actually fishing?" Roger suddenly got up from the bow, "The situation is extremely urgent now, and you are, no, you are actually fishing!"

The members of the pirate ship all sat neatly on the side of the ship. After hearing what the captain said, Duolingo spat out the bone he was holding in his mouth into the sea at random, and said helplessly, "Captain, who knows that Black Fireworks actually went to the windless zone."

"And when we arrived in the capital of water, we were beaten by the navy before we landed. We didn't even buy all the supplies. Now we almost have nothing to eat."

"Captain, if you are in a hurry, come and fish."

"Ah, it's abominable!" Roger grabbed his straw hat with both hands, "Unfortunate things happen one after another, and it's all because of that Black Yan Gray."

They met Tom and Cynthia and went to the water capital together. They thought it was a lucky thing, but when they got there, they just caught up with the navy warship to sail back to the Navy headquarters.

It was like falling into the enemy's nest at once. The black guns of the warship were all aimed at the hull of the Orr. Karp, Zefa, and Sengoku were all secondary. The steel skeleton standing on the leading warship looked like a god of evil.

How can they fight now, so they can only bid farewell to Tom and the others in a hurry, and run away quickly.

On the way to escape, he lost his way, and happened to see a newspaper reporting that Heiyan Gray intercepted the sea.

The World Economic News—that is, the newspaper where Lu Jiu was intern, also published the information about the black fireworks, and the signature was Lu Jiu.

This means that nothing happened to Lu Jiu, and she even went out to sea again, following the Black Firework Pirates and leaving.

The source of all is the Black Firework Pirates, so they followed the trail left by Black Flame until they realized that the direction they were heading was the windless belt.

"Roger, the windless zone is too dangerous for us. The Orr is a sailboat, and we can only paddle it manually after we get there." Raleigh did not approve of the adventurous attempt to enter the windless zone now.

"But we can't contact Lu Jiu."

"She won't enter the calm zone, Lu Jiu is a person who is many times smarter than you." Lei Li said.

Everyone roared with laughter, "Hey, Rayleigh, don't say that, the captain will cry."

"Hahahaha, does our captain still care about this? He doesn't understand at all."

"Enough is enough!" Roger made a gesture to beat them up, "Rayleigh, can we really not enter the calm zone now?"

"Yes, going in now is looking for death." Lei Li said truthfully.

"I hope you can calm down Roger. Since Lu Jiu can publish the article about Black Fireworks in the newspaper, it means that she is absolutely safe at the moment. In fact, even the senior and old newspapers such as World Economic News and World News will not distribute newspapers to the calm zone. They know the danger there."
