One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The steel frame far away at the Navy Headquarters sneezed and spilled the prepared training list on the ground.

There are three people above—Karp, Sengoku, and Zefa.

He sighed, knelt down on one knee to pick up the papers one by one, and dragged the long navy cloak to the ground, making his back look a little lonely.

Tsk, I'd be an idiot to worry about him any more.

Ace got up impatiently, glanced at Roger who was looking over eagerly, and then looked at Lujiu again, leaning over.

——Sure enough, in comparison, mother is the most important thing.

That night, in order to celebrate the recognition of Ace and his mother, a large banquet was held on the Blacks.

Because this is really something to be happy about, Gray bought wine for the entire island, and generously invited all the pirates on the island to participate.

Then the whole island began to revel.

Perry calculated the expenses for tonight, his brain throbbing with pain, and finally he simply threw the half-calculated paper into the sea.

Forget it, it's such a big deal to celebrate, and who cares how much it costs.

In the corner of the carnival, there were a few crisp sounds of cameras taking photos.

Hidden in the dark, the reporter hides his achievements and fame, and writes down—[The Black Firework Pirates are suspected to have an intimate relationship with the Roger Pirates in the first half] [Roger, the captain of the Roger Pirates, clashes with Black Firework’s Yan Ring Ace] [Suspicious voices from the Black Fireworks] [Lu Jiu and the Black Fireworks behave intimately].

Soon, the record was sent back to the headquarters of the World Economic News.

Pulitzer watched the news, his hands were shaking with excitement.

The next day, the newspaper delivery gull sent the new economic newspaper to all parts of the world.

【Shock!Roger, the captain of the Roger Pirates, suspected that he broke up with Ace of the Black Fireworks because of emotional problems, and then there was a voice on the Blakes that seemed to be Roger's "kneeling to get back together"]

[The captain of the Black Firework Pirates, Gray, has a close relationship with a mysterious woman, and the emperor of the new world can't escape the beauty pass]

People always have a fanatical and persistent interest in gossip. Once the newspaper of World Economic News was released, it was sold out in less than half a day.

Such a short period of time is only enough for the people on the great route to eat melons. As for the four seas, it is estimated that they will have to wait a few more days.

"Did you read the newspaper this morning?"

"Oh, it's such a big news that the city of Propel was destroyed and Mary Gioia was burned."

"That Roger and Ace, I remember correctly, are both men?"

"It's really bold to show love in public. I wish them an early birth. Uh, happiness."

"Damn it, what kind of woman is this woman whose face is covered! She is definitely a peerless beauty who can fascinate Hei Yangrai."

"No matter how beautiful it is, can it be more beautiful than the princess from the Kingdom of Flowers?"

"Hahaha, I heard that the princess has reached the age for marriage, right?"

"At this year's World Conference, the Kingdom of Flowers became popular thanks to this princess."

-

New World, Dressrosa.

In a side hall of the palace, there was an incomparably carefree laughter.

"Hahahahahaha, I'm dying of laughter, Mary, have you seen today's news?" The red maniac Anne was sitting on the sofa holding the news from the World Economic News, with her legs crossed on the table, and she was slapping her thighs, laughing until she burst into tears.

Vice-captain Mary is sitting by the window, drinking herbal tea elegantly, "Most of the news is fake, do you think that Black Yan Gray, if he really likes someone, will expose her to the public eye?"

"That's why it's even more funny, isn't it?" Seeing that Mary didn't respond, Annie felt bored, and curled her lips and said, "Even if these are fake, but Hei Yan does look very intimate in the photo~ You said that we found this woman and killed her, would Hei Yan be angry hahahahahaha."

"Annie, jokes are enough~" Mary shook her head, "It will be terrible if the allies of Hei Yan hear it."

"Tracey? Isn't that guy still receiving treatment?" Annie raised her eyebrows and said in distaste: "I really don't understand, that woman named Nora can't eradicate that poison once and for all, wasting our time here."

"If you want to leave, we can leave immediately." Mary looked at her and suddenly smiled, "You said it was fun."

"Well~ After all, it was the World Government's sudden action. There must be some interesting inside story. I'm sorry for my title if I don't mess with it at this time."

-

"Yes, I'm sorry! Please spare my life! I was wrong, I shouldn't talk too much." The man prostrated himself on the ground, desperately kowtowed to admit his mistake.

He just talked about today's newspaper and said a few dirty words, and he actually provoked a murderous person.

However, he couldn't regret it anymore, a blade cut his throat, and blood gushed out.

"I can't escape the beauty." Alfred held the blood-stained newspaper. Under the headline, there was a picture of Heiyan Gray leaning over to hand something to a woman with a blurred face.

Hei Yan, who has always been associated with cruelty and madness, rarely showed a gentle expression at this time. Even if it was just a black and white photo, it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

Hold a big banquet, invite people from all over the island to participate, and spend a lot of money on women, right?

it is good.

very good.

Alfred angrily threw the newspaper into a pool of blood. At this moment, there was no one alive in this small tavern except him.

The blood of the corpse gathered and spread on the ground, like a small pool of water.

——"Fred, I want you to help me go to the New World to find Tracy, he is in Dressrosa, please bring me a letter, by the way"

What was Gray doing when he was on his way to eat and sleep in the open for this sentence!
"Uh..." He covered his heart with his hands, the gears inside were turning extremely fast, severe pain gathered from his limbs, and Alfred fell from the chair and fell to his knees on the ground.

He cut his wrist with the blade, and thick black blood flowed out.

Even as a semi-finished transformed person, it is still difficult to escape the great pain when the toxin attacks.

It's just that no one will ever hand over his wrist and tell him that it's better to bite someone else than his own lip.

"Who do I think is causing trouble here?" The saloon door of the tavern was pushed open, and several people walked in.

Alfred raised his head abruptly, under the sweaty white hair on his forehead, a pair of cold golden eyes looked at the person viciously.

"You are." He squinted his eyes, and immediately matched this face with someone in his memory, "It's you!"

"It seems that my name is quite big." The person came over, and the people behind him were all holding guns, and the black muzzles of the guns were aimed at Alfred's vitals.

"Tsk tsk tsk, why did Gray's gemstone turn into such a miserable state?" He stretched out his hand and patted Alfred's face, with a gentle smile and a tone of pity, "That guy used to never let anyone touch you, why is he willing to let you suffer here now?"

"Do you want to die?" Countless blade fragments floated in the air, but they all fell down in the next second. Alfred grabbed the clothes on his chest, and the protruding blood vessels on his neck were full of thick black.

"At the end of the crossbow." The man laughed, stood up again, and waved his hands to let the people behind him tie up Alfred, who was prostrate and trembling in pain.

The two men were ordered to walk over immediately, but there was a sudden change. When they approached and squatted down, two blades quickly cut across their necks, and took their lives away in an instant.

The man's expression changed, and he quickly avoided the blade that was flying towards him. Two screams came from behind, and it was the demise of the two of them again.

Alfred supported the table on one side, gritted his teeth and stood up, every breath was hoarse and heavy as if there was something rough in his throat.

Anyone can see that he is indeed at the end of his strength, and the resistance just now is just the last counterattack of the beast before it dies.

The man's mood didn't get worse because of the subordinate's death, he still had a gentle smile on his face, and he didn't even move his brows when the blade was facing him straight.

The blade suddenly lost power a few centimeters away from the man and fell to the ground. At the same time, Alfred couldn't hold it anymore, and he fell to the ground and fell into a long-term coma.

"Take them all away." The man commanded the rest.

-

"Uh" The frequency of his toxin attacks is getting higher and higher.

Gray thought to himself, he sat on the chair he brought by the bed, stared at Alfred who was curled up on the bed, finally couldn't bear it, stood up and leaned over, "Fred, hey! Don't bite yourself."

He squeezed Alfred's face, forcibly opened the other's mouth, then stuffed his own wrist in, grinning and complaining: "You don't like to bite the towel, I think you really have a lot of problems."

He babbled, "It hurts like this, so don't bite yourself, it's better to bite others than hurt yourself. You will bite me from now on, and I'll let you bite."

"Captain, I'm sorry, Alfred's poison is a bit strange, because it is inherited from the mother, and it has long been ingrained."

"Ah, I see. Just try your best. Don't make him hurt so much. I don't want to see it."

"Hey, Captain Gray, I didn't expect to meet you on this island. This... is Wan Ren, hahaha. I heard that the two of you have a good relationship. I didn't expect to meet you on this island."

"So are we. I didn't expect such a coincidence."

"Hey, why did he leave?"

"Hahaha, Fred doesn't like shaking hands, physical contact and so on, let's forget it."

"This is unreasonable, Captain Gray. Being so arrogant as a pirate is easy to get burned. I don't want to make friends with everyone in the new world. He ignores me like this."

"Fred has such a character, and I acquiesce. If you feel that there is something wrong, you can complain in your heart. If you say it, I will blame it on you wanting to steal my most precious gem. Trust me, I am not afraid of going to war. Even if your status in the new world is higher than mine, it doesn't matter. Even if I die, I have to bite off a piece of flesh from you."

"Haha, Captain Gray, don't be so serious, I'm just warning you."

"Well~ Of course I'm joking, after all, I won't just bite a piece of meat off of you."

Gray woke up suddenly. He fell out of the hammock, his head was buzzing, and the hangover didn't make him feel good.

The shirt was completely wet with sweat, mixed with the smell of barbecue and alcohol last night, it was quite unpleasant.

It seemed to be a not-so-good dream, but after waking up, I forgot everything.

Gray got up from the ground covering his head, picked up his collar and smelled it, his whole face was tangled up in disgust, and immediately got up to take a shower.

After changing his clothes again, Gray came back to life with full blood. He walked out of the cabin, looked at the messy deck and the pirates lying on it, and suddenly realized that he was the first one to wake up.

It shouldn't be, it's not what the captain should do.

He scratched his head and went back to the captain's cabin, intending to go back to sleep again.

But swaying in the hammock, after closing his eyes, he was full of irritability, and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

He simply got up, searched all the places, and found a purple phone bug. The phone bug rang several times before Molina answered it.

"Captain Gray?" Her voice was surprised, "Can you still find my phone bug?"

"What do you mean, I'm going to be angry." Gray was lying on the table, holding the microphone in one hand, and playing with a piece of knife-tip shard with the other hand. Without the owner's control, it was just an ordinary shard that couldn't even emit light.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, did you want to ask about Teresi's situation?" Molina said with a smile: "They are all in the palace now, and Nora is being treated, but this child is not capable enough, and he hasn't fully recovered yet."

"Ah."

"The people from the Red and Black Pirates are also there. You know, as a businessman, I am not involved in the affairs of the Pirates, so I don't know what they want to do."

"Um"

"What else do you need?"

"Uh, did Fred go?" Gray's finger was cut by the point of the knife.

"Fred? Uh, Alfred?! Isn't he dead?"

"You are a businessman."

"Sorry, I'm just a little surprised. I'm not in Dressrosa now, so I don't know about it. Let me ask."

"Well, I'll wait here."

"Are you not hanging up?"

"How long will it take to ask?"

"Okay." The phone bug fell into a brief silence. After waiting for a while, Molina spoke again, "Captain Gray, Alfred has not reached Dressrosa."

"Well, it may take a few days, I was too early to ask." Gray calculated the time, and he was indeed a little too hasty. Even if he flew, he couldn't reach Dressrosa in the new world so quickly.

"If Fred is gone, please take good care of him and let Nora see the poison in his body. If possible, treat him well. As for the reward, when we return to the new world, you can ask for whatever price you want."
