One Piece: The Eternal Flame

what the hell is a beggar
Gray felt that he shouldn't listen to the conversation between Roger and Rayleigh with knowledge. At this moment, he couldn't see himself, so he must be very dirty.

So why on earth did those guys do it to him? They obviously praised him as a good person.

Gray walked over and stood still, "Yo~ mind if I sit here?"

"Hahaha, it's okay, please sit down." Roger generously put a bottle of rum on the table in front of Gray, and the thick bottom of the bottle made a dull sound.

Lei Li crossed his arms and looked at Gray. Although his face and body were dirty, he was sure that it was Black Flame Gray. Roger, an idiot, shouldn't believe what a beggar said.

He couldn't run away now, and if Gray didn't take the initiative to introduce himself, he was 100% sure that Roger would never recognize this guy as the person he had been looking for.

"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet." Gray smiled after sitting down, "I'm the captain of the Black Firework Pirates, and my name is Gray."

So you made yourself ashamed, but you didn't actually want to hide your identity? !

Rayleigh didn't come up in one breath, and almost choked himself to cough.

Roger didn't react for a while, "Oh, Gray, I'm the captain of Roger's Pirates, I'm uh." His smile froze on his face, "You, what did you say your name is?"

Gray blinked, and repeated in good temper, "I said my name is Gray."

"Grey?!" Roger stood up abruptly, lowered his head and rummaged through his clothes, and finally took out a few reward orders from the inner pocket of his clothes, and in a hurry, one of them fell down.

Gray reached out to catch it, and said pleasantly: "Ah, it's Ace! Compared with me, it seems to be far behind. This kid still has to work hard."

"Crack!" Roger slapped Gray's reward order on the table and replied at the same time, "Don't be so harsh on Ace!"

He snatched Ace's reward order and put it back in his inner pocket cherishingly, then stepped on the chair, patting the reward order on the table and questioning, "So what do you and this guy look like, don't think I'm such a fool!"

"But this is me." Gray pointed to himself, "Isn't it like it?"

Roger picked up the reward order, placed the photo on the same level as Gray's face, looked at the face, then looked at the photo, repeated several times seriously, and shook his head: "No, it's not a person at all, don't think you can be fooled——"

Finally, Raleigh couldn't take it anymore. He kicked Roger down, sat back on his seat, and said with a dry smile to Gray, "You don't have to pay attention to this idiot."

It was because he cared too much that he worked so hard.

Gray nodded sympathetically, "Don't worry, I understand you. We also have such idiots on board, and they make it difficult for me, the captain, every time."

"Long live the understanding." Lei Li coughed lightly, and became serious, "So what is the captain of Black Firework following us alone, what is he trying to do?"

"Because you just squeezed into the crowd and left. We were gambling at that time." Gray said: "You should understand that our pirate group has made a lot of enemies. I thought they were enemies at the time."

"That's it." Raleigh suddenly realized that he didn't see signs of lying from Gray's face, and the reason was very reasonable.

The big tree attracts the wind, and it is normal for a captain to have such vigilance.

Look at the captain who talks eloquently and politely, but is a bit dirty, and Roger, who is sitting on the ground crying and aggrieved, really thinks that other people's captains are good no matter what they look at.

"So, why are you running away?" Gray puzzled: "We are not the kind of people who will fight when we see a pirate group."

"Actually, it's because of" Raleigh thought about his words.

"Because we want to snatch Ace from your pirate group!" Roger came alive.

He was kicked just now, as if his originally blocked thoughts were kicked through at once.

Roger felt that his mind was spinning faster than it is now.

Black Firework is here = Ace is here = they can take Ace, the equation is totally valid!
No wonder Rayleigh took him away. It turned out that he had seen Black Fireworks here a long time ago and wanted to take him to find Ace as soon as possible!

Didn't tell him, is it because you want to give him a surprise?
The more Roger thought about it, the more he felt right. He got up from the ground, patted Lei Li on the shoulder excitedly, and said with a smile: "Ray Li, you are really a guy! You want to prepare a surprise for me, right? You are so thoughtful!"

I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.

The dead-eyed Lei Li denied San Lian, sometimes he really couldn't figure out what was going on in this idiot's mind.

Gray pinched his earlobe and asked amusedly, "Why do you want Ace on our ship?"

"What else could it be? Of course I like it!" Roger sat down and said excitedly, "I liked it the first time I saw his bounty offer. Oh~ This kid looks really pleasing to the eye."

While listening to Roger's confession, Raleigh observed Gray's reaction.

What made him feel strange was that Gray was not angry because Roger said in front of him that he wanted to rob his crew, but instead listened with interest to Roger chattering and praising Ace.

Roger felt thirsty after boasting a lot of long and short sentences with little eloquence, took a sip of rum, and finally concluded, "All in all, this kid meets my standards!"

"It seems that you really like Ace." Gray laughed.

"Yes, yes, I like him so much." Roger nodded frantically.

Gray turned his gaze to Raleigh, who was covering his face with his hand, "So he is a pervert?"

Rayleigh took a deep breath, nodded heavily, "That's right."

After admitting it, Raleigh's mood suddenly became less complicated. Their captain is very perverted, that's right, that's it.

"Hey, hey, I'm telling the truth." Roger said, patting the table.

"I know you're telling the truth." Gray nodded, "But if you want my crew, you need to defeat me first."

Roger and Rayleigh's eyes were fixed, and they avoided to the sides when Gray's voice fell.

Broken table fragments fell to various places, wine bottles fell to the ground, and the wine seeped into the uneven sandy ground.

The pirates who drink in the open-air tavern are not very good-tempered, and the island itself is a lawless place.

They hope that someone will cause trouble, and then they will find someone who will swarm up from the head and grab some things.

"Hey! Kid, if you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving!"

"Look at the sword in your hand, it's not bad, keep it as an apology, and we will let you live."

The pirates slapped the table and stood up, some of them were splashed with wine, some of them shook off a few pieces of sawdust.

All kinds of weapons gleamed coldly, pointing directly at Gray who was sitting on the chair.

Gray raised his legs and looked at Roger with a smile, "Just like now."

At the end of the conversation, Griffin, who had just smashed the table into pieces, fell to the ground with a bang, and immediately afterward, a majestic arrogance swept everything around him.

Roger and Lei Li put up all their energy to resist this momentum, while the attacking pirates around them fainted immediately.

All the pirates around fell down, and the owner of the open-air tavern crawled out from behind the counter tremblingly. He didn't know why he was fine, but his past experience with pirates told him that it would be better to kneel down and beg for mercy earlier.

"Boss." As soon as Gray opened his mouth, the boss who was about to crawl over and beg for mercy was so frightened that he immediately kowtowed on the spot, "Master Pirate, please forgive me, please forgive me, please forgive me, please spare my life."

It is very common for civilians to beg for mercy from pirates. Although kneeling on the ground is humiliating, it can at least save their lives.

There is hope in life, and the civilians in this world probably think this way.

"Hey! You bastard, don't go too far!" Seeing Gray walking towards the boss, Roger thought he was going to do something bad, so he immediately wanted to stop him with his knife.

But the next scene made Roger never expect it.

Gray knelt down a few steps away from the boss, and took out a stack of Baileys from his pocket and handed it over, "Boss, I don't know if the money is enough for compensation. If not, I have some more here."

"Master Pirate." The boss looked at Bailey in disbelief, and then at the friendly and harmless smile on Gray's face—even though his face was not dirty.

When the boss saw him coming, he thought it was a beggar trying to drive someone away, but he was relieved when he saw him go straight to the table of the two pirates and sit down.

Seeing so much money now, he swallowed, but he dared not take it anyway.

Gray simply put the money on the ground, stood up and said to Roger, "Do you think you can beat me?"

Roger was silent. After a while, he put away the knife and said with a calm smile, "I can't beat it."

Rayleigh breathed a sigh of relief. Based on the scene just now and the previous contact, Gray should not be as moody and domineering as the rumors said.

"You accept it very quickly." Gray was well prepared for Roger's frankness.

Roger shrugged, "There is nothing shameful in admitting failure and weakness, and catching up afterwards is the real weak person who deceives himself and others with false lies."

"I agree with your point of view." Gray said: "Then you still want to rob my crew?"

"Of course!" Roger raised his voice, with his hands on his hips, looking confident.

Gray raised his eyebrows, and his tone was full of sarcasm and danger, "Oh ~ it seems that you want to die now?"

Domineering was released again, avoiding other people, and pressed straight on Roger.

For a moment, Roger felt as if he was a mayfly trying to shake a big tree, small and overwhelmed.

Just for a moment, the future One Piece quickly regained his consciousness. Although his legs were slightly bent uncontrollably, he still dared to meet Gray's eyes, and even the corners of his mouth raised a provocative arc, "Isn't it the romance of a pirate to die generously for what you want to do!"

"Roger!" Raleigh didn't feel the domineering suppression, he soon knew that this suffocating confrontation was only aimed at Roger himself.

Roger and Gray were still looking at each other, as if flames were gushing out of his eyes, he said to Lei Li, "Lei Li, you leave first, this is a battle between me and him."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Rayleigh was furious. "At this moment, you let me, a crew member, escape alone. It's ridiculous!"

As he said, he drew the knife from his waist and was about to rush forward.

But suddenly, black flames exploded from Gray's body, completely blocking Lei Li's way forward.

"I forgot to mention that even if you get a little bit of it, you will be burnt to ashes immediately like a piece of white paper~" Gray explained to Raleigh in a good mood.

He was quite worried that the deputy captain rushed over regardless of his own safety.

"Rayleigh! Don't come here, this is the captain's order!" Roger immediately shouted at Rayleigh, "This is my battle!"

Rayleigh is his partner who has followed him from the very beginning, and he is a close friend. Roger will never allow anyone to hurt his partner.

An inexplicable aura ignited ragingly in his body, as if a hot flame was about to burst out.

When this aura reached its peak in the body, with a sound of 'Boom——', the domineering aura burst out, and the power that was still uncontrollable swept away everything around.

From the very beginning, the future One Piece has a more powerful and terrifying kingly posture than others.

Roger roared, and the domineering surrounding him was like a broken chain that could no longer restrain him. He drew out his knife and rushed towards the person who made him feel angry at the moment.

Overlord color awakened?The smile on Gray's face was even bigger. He didn't become at a loss because of Roger's sudden awakening of dominance. He just calmly pulled out Griffin, blocked the sword in front of him at will, and caught Roger's blow with all his strength.

"Well~ I didn't expect you to be armed." Gray commented leisurely, "Generally, the pirates in the first half of the great route don't even understand the concept of domineering. What do people who know the new world call you newcomers?"

"I'm not interested in knowing, all I know is that you've pissed me off." Roger gritted his teeth, trying his best but couldn't advance the blade any further.

As if he didn't hear what he said, Gray continued on his own: "The mayfly shakes the tree, and the emperors who rule in the new world sneer at you ants who try to resist."

"So what, maybe it's ants like us who will pull you all down in the future!" After one move failed, Roger attacked several times one after another, each time with stronger strength than before. He is growing-although it is not appropriate to say this, but Roger is a combat monster who can absorb and learn from every attack.

However, this monster's heart is not as tough as it appears at the moment. He tried his best to attack but failed to make the opponent take half a step back. What's more, he felt that this person didn't take him seriously at all.

"Well~ that's it for the time being." Gray felt that it was almost done.
