One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Hahahaha, you guys broke into the new world directly, that's great, that's great, you deserve to be my brother!" Kulocas laughed, not feeling dissatisfied at all for these two people leaving him behind.

"It mainly depends on our captain, he is too strong."

"We've been staying in the New World before, I'm really sorry I couldn't come back to see you, Kulocas."

"It's okay, it's fine, you're still alive, I was really surprised when I saw your reward order."

Kulocas said excitedly: "I still have the reward orders for the two of you in my collection. I think you are all working hard. I will definitely work hard. I have taught myself medical skills!"

"Self-taught medicine?" Colin became interested. "It's hard to learn by yourself. I felt like my head was getting bigger when I read the book."

"Well, it's not completely self-study~ Generally, the pirates who come here will choose to stop for a few days, and I will take advantage of that time to learn some knowledge from their ship doctor hahaha, that's the meaning of taking the leader of a hundred schools of thought."

"It's amazing, while we're waiting for the countercurrent tide, please feel free to discuss medical skills with me!"

Colin couldn't wait to share medical knowledge with Kulokas, "I have a lot of books there, and I remember some notes. Our country is a famous medical country. Let's go to the infirmary on the ship. My books are all there."

"Okay, okay, I still have a lot of things I want to ask."

"Uh" Alder stretched out his hand, wanting to keep him but couldn't find a suitable excuse.

"Are we his brother or Colin is his brother?" Abel complained, "Why did he run away with Colin."

"After all, I have encountered something I am interested in." Andrew smiled: "If there is a chef here, I am afraid I will be so excited, hahaha."

"Woo--" A whale's cry sounded in the sea, followed by another sound, which was ethereal and shrill.

Everyone looked over at the same time, and saw the whale Rab whining continuously towards the Red Earth Continent. Brook was standing on top of its head, with the violin on his shoulders.

"It seems that I told it about the demise of the Rumba Pirates." Gray sighed, "This is the cruel sea."

Life or death, chasing treasure, freedom, power, adventure, the sea is constantly changing.

That which never stops - that is, people's dreams.

-

Brooke has been silent since getting off Raab's back.

Even a lively banquet could not arouse his slightest interest.

"Captain Gray, I'm sorry, I want to stay." Brook found Gray, with an apologetic and gentle tone, "I want to."

"You want to be with Rab." Gray finished the sentence for him, "Hahaha, Brooke, come and sit."

Gray patted the seat beside him, and when Brook sat down awkwardly, Gray put his hand on his shoulder.

"Brooke, the most important thing about being a pirate is to do whatever you want." Gray smelled of alcohol, "There is no need to feel sorry for this kind of thing, I can understand."

He lowered his head and seemed a little drunk, the shadow cast by his black hair covering the upper half of his face.

Brooke heard Gray say slowly, "I can understand how it feels to see someone important again after a few years away."

"Captain Gray is such a gentle person." Brook laughed, "I really want to make a song for you, Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho."

"Hahahaha, then I'm looking forward to it." Gray patted Brook on the shoulder, and stuffed the wine bottle into his hand, "Drink! I must get drunk tonight!"

He caught a glimpse of a carton of milk in Brooke's hand from the corner of his eye, and frowned, "Huh? How old are you, what are you drinking milk for?"

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, my favorite is milk. Drinking milk can heal fractures and restore physical strength~" Brook pointed to a crack on his head, and then drank the whole box of milk.

Gray stared dumbfounded as the crack faded away.

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho Ho, that's it." Brook lifted his skull and took out a new carton of milk, "Well~ Captain Gray, do you want to drink a carton?"

"Ah, then, thank you very much." Gray took the milk devoutly with both hands, inserted the straw into it and took a few sips.

The milky aroma is rich, and it is much gentler than the spicy wine after drinking.

"Oh, it's super delicious." Gray affirmed Brook's taste, "It's really good."

"Hasn't Captain Gray ever drank milk?" Brooke took another box out of his skull and said with pain, "Let's have another box."

"I always thought it was something children drink." Gray smiled, and suddenly heard Andrew's angry shout.

"What bastard stole my milk in the fridge! It's for dessert!"

Gray was taken aback and looked at Brook.

The latter dodged his gaze, and finally looked at the sky, "Ah, the sky is very quiet today."

"Damn it, is it the captain?!" Andrew looked at Gray who was drinking milk with a straw in his mouth, and his tone became milder in an instant, "Ah, if the captain wants to drink, just tell me."

"What? Gray is drinking milk, how old is he to drink something that a child would drink!" Ace was the first to start the mocking mode.

"Did Ace drink milk when he was young?" Lu Jiu asked with her head tilted.

"Hmph, I haven't drunk that kind of thing since I can remember!" Ace proudly showed his reliability.

However, Lu Jiu's expression became particularly sad. She raised her hand to Andrew and said, "Andrew, can you give me a carton of milk? Ace wants to drink too."

"Huh? I don't, of course I want to drink." Ace couldn't refuse his mother, not to mention that the other party was feeling sorry for himself at the moment.

He actually doesn't think drinking milk is very important, because since he was very young, he would steal Dadan's wine out of curiosity.

"Yo~ Ace, how old are you still drinking milk~" Alder was a little drunk, shaking his head and laughing at Ace.

Ace punched him in warning.

"Andrew, take out all the milk, how much is left?" Gray asked.

"Probably enough for two boxes for one person." Andrew thought for a while.

"Then take it all out, everyone has to give me two boxes of milk today!"

"But Captain, there won't be enough milk for dessert later!"

"Oh, let's have one box for each person, no more!" Gray changed his mind instantly, at least before going to O'Hara, he must not cut off the supply of sweets.

This time, no one laughed at anyone, and everyone was forced to put down the wine bottles and drink milk together.

The scene is particularly funny, it is unprecedented.

-

It was a coincidence that they came this time, and they encountered a countercurrent on the second day of their stay.

"I will remember the scene of drinking milk with you!" Brooke shouted from the shore.

"Forget it, let's remember the scene of us drinking together!"

"Hahahaha, Brooke, don't forget to promise me that you want to compose a song for me."

Gray leaned against the side of the boat and made a gesture of wiping his neck, "If it sounds bad, you will die."

"Hahahaha, I already have a lot of inspiration." Brooke is also looking forward to the way this song will be made.

"I've already thought about the title, let's call it Pure Black's Flame Rock March in Praise of the Great Captain Gray."

"Well, forget it, I will choose my own name."

Kulocas also waved goodbye to everyone. Although he didn't know when the next goodbye would be, the banquet last night was enough for him to remember these people.

He likes the life of guarding the twin capes, likes watching countless pirates with dreams, and watching them set sail on the first ray of sunshine that has just risen.

He also likes to listen to them talk about all kinds of magical experiences and knowledge in the world. He likes this kind of life.

Chatting with these vivid and different people is not about depth, but a new world that has never been seen before.

"Okay, let's go! Let's go to Xihai, O'Hara."

Gray gave the order, and everyone returned to their posts.

The bow of the ship first leaned against the retrograde current, and then the entire body of the ship was engulfed by the current and rushed to the top of the reverse mountain.

The waves that were raised kept hitting everyone's faces and bodies, and many large sea beasts around them also jumped out of the sea and rushed towards the waters of the four seas.

"That's great. There are so many fish. It would be nice if one jumped onto the deck." Gray lay on the side of the boat, salivating at the fish in the sea.

"Ha, don't fall down and be their food." Teuton watched a big fat fish thumping and falling on the deck because it jumped too high.

He added the following words in a daze, "It's all right."

"Hahaha, how lucky." Gray said with a smile, "I'll eat this fish for the first meal in the West Sea."

"Grey, you didn't eat two devil fruits, did you?" Ace looked at Gray suspiciously.

"Reggie can make every wish come true." Oden was also very envious, "I said before that a woman would fall from the sky, and Nora fell."

"Is that so?" Whitebeard was a little surprised.

If he really has this ability, Gray can directly make a wish to destroy the world government.

"That's right, Captain, you didn't really eat two devil fruits, did you?"

"Why don't you make another wish? Let's just drop another woman on our boat, like that."

"No, I don't want to." Gray shook his head, "Why do you pile up such a coincidence on me."

"Because after you finished speaking, things happened."

Everyone nodded unanimously.

Gray pouted, "Anyway, don't put this kind of thing on me, I won't eat two devil fruits."

Everyone thought it was right, if Gray ate another devil fruit, it would be like cannibalism, a bit disgusting and weird.

After not discussing this matter anymore, everyone focused their attention on the commanding heights of Reversing Mountain. There are four waterways from top to bottom, leading to four sea areas in the northeast, southwest, and it is lucky to go to other sea areas if there is a slight difference. The most terrible thing is that the ship crashes and people die.

Although they are well-known pirates in the New World, it is the first time they have passed the Upside Down Mountain.

"Alder, the seaway on the upper left!"

The upper left of the field of vision is the entrance to the West Sea.

"boom--"

The bottom of the boat smashed into the blue sea, and was washed away by the turbulent current for a certain distance before barely stopping.

Everyone's clothes were soaked, but everyone had excited smiles on their faces.

Such a magical upside-down mountain, I finally felt it once.

"Hahaha, we can be regarded as pirates with good roots."

It is said that those who enter the great route from the four seas through the Reversing Mountain can be regarded as having experienced a complete pirate career.

"Sail, forget it, let me speed up, let's go to O'Hara!" Gray dried the clothes for everyone, and immediately rolled up his sleeves to go to work under the cabin.

Everyone hurriedly stopped him and blocked the entrance of the cabin.

"Well, Captain, you are too tired, why don't you take a rest, Ace should really want to work in the cabin instead of you."

"Right, Ace."

"Yes, yes, let me come, just to exercise my abilities." Ace rushed into the cabin first, cutting off Gray's thoughts of going to work.

"Hahahahaha, if that's the case, I'll go to sleep." Gray thought for a while and decided to go back to the captain's cabin.

He didn't sleep, of course, but called Teresi's phone bug.

After learning that the other party's poison had been completely removed, Gray hummed and asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"Annie and I team up and plan to kill the Black Prince first."

Teresi didn't hide anything, "How long do you plan to stay in the first half?"

"We're in West Sea now, and we're going to O'Hara."

"West Sea O'Hara?" Teresi didn't ask what he was going to do in O'Hara, but said, "From the West Sea, you can directly cross the windless side and bring it here. Can you catch up?"

"Enough." Gray thought for a while, and then asked, "It's not like you can't beat me, so why ask me if I can catch up?"

He didn't want to join in the fun.

They might stay in O'Hara for a long time.

"Because you left the new world, many pirates thought that you were going to take refuge. After all, the new world has been relatively turbulent recently. You left just before that, and it is easy to be thought by some brainless guys as fleeing in fear of war."

Gray understood, "Oh~ so you think we have to rely on defeating the Black Prince to announce the news of our return, hahaha, Tracy, if there are idiots who want to provoke me, then come, the Black Prince is just one of the shortcuts."

"I know, I'm just telling you a possibility. According to the intelligence, the Black Prince set sail a few days ago. I don't know where to take the fleet. We are hesitating whether to do it at this time."

"Let's look at their destination first. During the special period, it is impossible for Sam to take all the fleet. There must be something strange in it. I don't guarantee whether I can go back, but there is a high probability that I won't be able to go back."

"Okay, that's it for now."

After hanging up the phone, Gray lay down on the hammock and looked around at the patterns on the ceiling.

After watching it for a long time, I actually felt sleepy.

Well, sleepy when you're sleepy.

He never ignores his own will.

Two days later, they reached O'Hara.
