One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The calm zone is a sea area suitable for parting.

Gary finally decided to spend some time on the deserted island next to Amazon Lily, and return here to pick him up after Gray and the others wandered all over the world. If Xia Qi still wants to stay here, then he can rest assured.

A man’s parting doesn’t need tears—although Gary didn’t disembark, but only stayed in one place for a short time, it didn’t prevent everyone from crying ugly at the banquet at night.

Gray drank his wine and said to White Beard, "Do you think I'm tough?"

"Why do you think so?" White Beard clinked glasses with him, "This is not considered tough."

"Haha, I'm a tough person a lot of times. A good welcome banquet has turned into a farewell banquet."

"I don't really care about this." White Beard said: "Your atmosphere is very good, at least so far, I feel very comfortable."

Whitebeard——Edward Newgate, was an orphan since he was a child, and he also learned to use a stick to protect himself since he was a child. He is strong and tall, and he can always take the lead in battle and win.

In many cases he wins, with better food, cleaner water and more comfortable housing.

But this does not mean that Whitebeard will bully the weak, he likes to take everything he needs from the stronger and distribute it to those who are weaker than himself.

When watching those children eating, their eyes are full of admiration; when they follow behind him so that he is no longer alone, his heart can always soften. Is this the feeling of family members?

He didn't know, but from the moment those children ran away in a panic when he was defeated, he secretly vowed in his heart to find a real family who would not abandon him.

Maybe it's the sunlight that comes in from the side of the ship every morning; the deck with noisy footsteps; the delicious food; family members talking about trivial and interesting things together, which caused everyone to laugh.

Or you can rest in peace after being tired, without worrying about the dangers that may occur around you; someone will accompany you to drink, and if you drink too much, you will complain and send you back to the cabin; there are occasional disputes, but they quickly reconcile.

What White Beard wanted was such a simple thing.

Gray hiccupped and had already poured a bottle of rum into his stomach, "It's good to be comfortable, man, the most important thing is to be happy and comfortable."

"It seems that Captain Gray has a good drinker." White Beard hasn't even finished a bottle of wine yet.

"I can't drink more than anyone else." Gray invited triumphantly: "How about it, let's compare?"

"Compare to compare."

The consequence of the two drunkards' competition was that the rum reserve on board was rapidly depleted.

Gray's drinking capacity was certified by the whole ship, and White Beard had never drunk him before, so he felt a little weird, he lay down on the ground, and said to Gray with difficulty: "This time I lost."

——This is more painful than admitting defeat in battle.

"Daddy hasn't had Gray before." Ace muttered in a low voice, feeling a bit too unreal. Daddy, an alcoholic guy, actually lost in the wine competition. Couldn't Devil Fruit get drunk?

"Grey, can you still drink?"

Gray looked at him and raised his eyebrows, "Why, do you want to drink with me?"

"Forget it, you've had enough."

"Hahaha, I can still drink three white beards, no problem at all." After Gray finished speaking, he also lay down. On the shallows of Amazon Lily, he looked at the sky, a little regretful, "Obviously it should be more lively."

The others didn't hear it from far away, but White Beard heard it all.

After a little thought, he realized that Gray should be worried about that Alfred. They woke up the next day and found that Gray had returned, but there was no other person.

"Huh? Fred, he left last night." Although he was smiling, Gray's tone was filled with regret.

Whitebeard looked sideways at the young man of his own age, and asked, "He betrayed you, why is he still so indecisive, Captain Gray, this is not your style."

"Ha, maybe I'm drunk. When I'm drunk, I tend to talk nonsense." Gray smiled, "It's not me that Fred betrayed."

Alfred betrayed his own heart.

"Who is that?" White Beard was surprised, but no one could answer his question.

Gray had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It was close to noon the next day, and everyone was ready to set sail.

Gray was hangover, and now he woke up listless, lying on the side of the ship and waving his hands, before he said weakly: "Let's set sail."

"Is it really okay to set sail with such a lack of momentum?" Xia Qi expressed concern by complaining.

Gary laughed, "It's okay, the captain will cheer up soon."

The Blacks drew anchor and set sail, and the flames at the stern combined with Alder's steering skills to draw a beautiful drift line on the sea.

This drifting didn't matter. Several people on board who hadn't sobered up after drinking too much vomited a few times.

"Is it really okay?" Xia Qi's mouth twitched.

"Haha." Gary laughed twice, not knowing what to say to prove that they were really reliable.

The ship left the dead zone very quickly. Because the supplies hadn't been replenished for a long time, a lot of supplies were left at Gary's side, so when it just left the dead zone, Blacks was already in a state of running out of ammunition and food.

"Charles, find the nearest pirate ship first. If there is no one, the island is fine." Gray regained his energy, but his stomach kept growling.

He said loudly: "We will replenish supplies as soon as possible."

"It's nothing to do with a pirate ship wandering around the calm zone. No." Charles' divination is like this, "but the nearest island is only two days away."

"Okay, let's set sail and let's go to that island!"

"Hey, Charles, is that island prosperous?" Alder raised his eyebrows and asked.

"It's okay." Charles said, "It can guarantee that we can buy enough supplies."

"You know what aspect I'm asking about." Alder emphasized the tone of 'what aspect'.

Charles was taken aback for a moment, and then quickly reacted, "Uh, it's not bad."

After getting an affirmative answer, Alder looked at Gray, "Captain, I will take you to a good place after landing on the island~"

Gray blinked, showing a bit of confusion and innocence, "Okay." He didn't ask anything.

Everyone looked at Alder with a warning in their eyes, which probably meant not to fool around with the captain.

Alder nodded, indicating that he knew exactly what to do.

The ship was docked at the port. Due to the lack of wind, the black flag was completely drooped, and the pattern on it could not be seen, so it did not stand out among the pirate ships.

When everyone went ashore, Alder put his arms around Gray's shoulders. He originally wanted to call Ace, but when he saw Lu Jiu beside the latter, he was silent for a moment, and finally decided to regretfully choose to abandon this plan.

"Buy all the supplies first." Perry said to Colin: "They don't have many reliable people. If something happens, it's easier to leave."

There are pirate ships everywhere in the port. If you think about it, you will know that you will not be safe when you leave, so buy the supplies first, and when you are almost beaten up, just pat your ass and leave.

Colin smiled and said, "Okay, but aren't you worried about where Alder is taking the captain?"

"How old are you? If you are eaten by a woman, you will eat it." Perry smoked a cigarette in his mouth, and exhaled a bit of vicissitudes. "It will not lose a piece of meat."

"That's true." Colin nodded, thinking it made sense.

The island is not too big, and a town represents its prosperity. There is a lot of people on the island, but most of them are men dressed casually and dressed as pirates. Their cheeks are flushed when they drink, but they still hold wine bottles in their hands. They fight on the street if they disagree with each other.

"It doesn't look like a peaceful island." Ace sighed, he wanted to hang out with Lujiu on a peaceful island, instead of guarding against the sudden flying wine bottles while walking.

"Well, it's the famous island of lawlessness on the Great Route." Whitebeard crushed the smashed wine bottle and clenched his hands into fists. The air around the unlucky pirate made a sound of shattering, and then his head seemed to be hit hard by something in the air, and he flew out backwards.

Lu Jiu nodded and added: "When I was working in the newspaper office, I saw the information here. Because I couldn't pay the money from the sky, the whole island was abandoned, and it became like this over time."

"Think about it, it's a paradise for pirates, no wonder there are so many pirate ships in the port." Ace muttered, "Don't worry, you can go wherever you want. Because Newgate and I will protect you."

"And me, cut, don't get me wrong, I'm just forced to follow you." Prometheus looked at the people around him disdainfully, "These guys are not enough to watch at all."

Lu Jiu smiled, "Well, of course I believe you."

Whitebeard looked at the somewhat similar looks of the two, and nodded in response. He had already defined the relationship between the two in his heart. Although Ace didn't explain it, Lu Jiu should be his sister.

I'm really envious of this kind of blood bond between relatives. Whitebeard thought for a while that if he had a younger sister, he would definitely be like Ace, and he had to follow him wherever he went.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, I don't know if it will scare them after becoming like this." The bones on Brooke's face were blushing strangely, making it obvious that he was not a serious skeleton.

Alder shouted angrily, "So what are you guys doing here?"

Obviously he made an appointment with the captain, why so many people came with him, "Why did you come with me, Mi Tian, ​​this is not a place where children should come."

Mi Tian tilted his head to look at him, "I'm not a child anymore, why can't I come?"

"That's right!" Zeus had the same wretched look on Brooke's face, "You can't leave us behind."

"They are here to prevent you from teaching the captain badly." Latin said confidently.

"Don't get me wrong, we're just here for fun." Bud and the others really wanted to come to Huajie, so they just happened to drop by.

Alder snorted dissatisfiedly, and simply ignored them.

There is no flower street in a narrow sense on the island. The most famous one involved in pornography, gambling and drug projects is a casino called Monte Carlo.

Several scantily clad women greeted them as soon as they came here. When they saw that there was another woman in the line, they didn't post it immediately. They just stood not far away and asked softly: "Welcome, do you have a VIP?"

"If you don't, you won't be allowed in?" Gray asked.

"Of course not." The woman laughed, "VIPs enjoy more privileges."

"Let's go in and have a look first." Alder said excitedly, "It's okay to take a gamble."

"You know how to bet? If you lose your clothes, we won't help you." Latin laughed.

"It's time for Twain to play."

"Are you sure you can win, right?" Standing at the entrance of the casino, Roger still felt uneasy. He solemnly said to Lei Li, "Our final fortune depends on you."

"You better shut up." Rayleigh knocked Roger's hand off, "Who spent all the money?"

"Ahahaha, I didn't do it on purpose." Roger smiled coyly, "I can explain that."

"Don't explain, if you dare to approach the storage room in the future, I will kill you." Raleigh shook his fist and walked into the casino first.

As soon as I entered, I saw people in the casino discussing in one place, it seemed that one of the guests had won too much.

"Win again?"

"Ah, it's not cheating, is it?"

"How is it possible, so many of us are watching."

"Could it be that the machine is broken?"

Rayleigh stood outside the crowd and couldn't see what was going on inside. Roger felt that it was time to show himself. He grabbed Rayleigh and forced his way into the crowd. When he could clearly see the scene inside, he had to turn his head back, wanting to hear some words of praise.

Instead, he received glaring looks from the people around him.

Lei Liquan pretended not to know Roger, and let him be dragged out by the collar by the violent pirates and beat him up.

He looked at the cards on the chess and card table, the left side had a great chance of winning, so he looked at the man on the left again, and the expression on his face was almost uncontrollable.

What kind of person is this on the narrow bridge of Yuanjia Road, who can actually see black fireworks in the casino? Didn't they go to Wufeng to bring them back so soon?
"Hey, I said Rayleigh, you were too unkind just now." Roger complained and squeezed into the crowd again. This time, no one dared to refute, because the people who dragged Roger out just now were lying on the ground and crying continuously.

"Hush!" Reilly covered Roger's mouth and pulled him outside, "Come on, this casino is not very good."

Roger has always wanted to find Hei Yanhuo to rob him, but Lei Li knew that there was a huge disparity in strength between them, so the loss outweighed the gain.

"What's the matter?" Roger followed Rayleigh away without knowing why.

Gray noticed the movement from Raleigh and Roger, and patted Alder on the shoulder, "I'll go and have a look, I'll be back later."

"Oh, but the captain." We haven't done our business yet.

Alder watched Gray leave and sighed angrily.

Roger was pulled out of the casino by Rayleigh, and only then did he find a chance to shake off Rayleigh's restraint, "What's the matter?" He asked with question marks all over his head, "Is there any problem with this casino?"

"The problem is serious Roger." Reilly didn't want to explain too much, "Hurry up and find someone, let's leave this island."
