One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The weather on the Great Route is ever-changing. One second it was still sunny, but the next it was cloudy and turned into hail. It was impossible to continue on the road. Standing outside at such a time would be an absolute idiot.

The temperature is below freezing, but the cabin is warm everywhere.

For a pirate group with a captain of the fire attribute, heating is nothing to worry about.

'Pulp-puff-puff-puff-puff-puff'

The disturbing phone rang in the captain's cabin. Gray put down the things in his hand, stood up and looked around, but he didn't have the slightest intention to answer it.

"Hmm," he dragged his voice and thought for a while in distress.

That's weird, I can't figure out where to put it.

'Pulp-puff-puff-puff-puff-puff'

The phone bug was still calling.

Alfred was a little annoyed, "You look for it in the box."

"Oh."

Gray replied, squatted down and dragged out all the boxes under the table, and then pulled out a phone bug from a pile of weird things.

"Fred, it's the phone bug from Murloc Island." It was put together with a bunch of souvenirs from Murloc Island, and it was Asie who came in.

Gray picked up the phone, and the phone bug immediately turned into Assie's anxious face, "Captain Gray! It's not good, something serious happened to Murloc Island!"

The voice was sharp and hasty, obviously a huge crisis was happening on the opposite side.

"Locks, the Rocks Pirates are coming to Murloc Island!"

"Locus?" Gray looked at Alfred with a little surprise.

The latter just frowned slightly. Lockes was an unfamiliar name to him. If he really had any impression, it was probably that the Silver Ax imprisoned in Advance City once said that they were members of Lockes or something.

"Yes! Rocks and his pirate group are wearing prison uniforms for some reason, and there is a very tall giant among them." Assier tried his best to describe the picture that impressed him deeply in the surveillance.

Compared with Rocks, San Juan Wolf is the most unneglected existence in the entire pirate group because of his large size.

"Does that giant's face look like a chestnut?" Alfred walked over, "He is a prisoner in the sixth floor prison."

"That's right, they must have escaped from prison! Captain Gray, I'm afraid the fish-man island will be in danger this time, you guys"

"We can't go back in a short time."

Gray directly interrupted Assier's words, "The world government must have blocked the news of the prisoner's escape in Push City, but the navy will definitely be dispatched. The ultimate goal of the pirates is the New World. If it's the steel skeleton, he will directly lead the warship to the Fishman Island to intercept it."

"Will the navy come?" Assier was taken aback.

Now whether it is a pirate or a navy, as long as someone comes over, it will be fine.

When he called Gray, he didn't expect the other party to arrive in time, because it would take time to get from the New World to the Fishman Island.

His purpose is only to find a backbone in times of crisis, and Gray is the first person he thinks of.

"The Navy is very close to Shambord, and it must arrive sooner than us." Gray's voice was calm, and Assie on the other end of the phone was also affected by emotions, and slowly calmed down.

"Please tell King Triton that no matter how difficult it is, we must persist until the navy arrives, and we will rush there as soon as possible."

"Understood, Captain Gray." Assier took a deep breath.

Although the island was sheltered by pirates, hearing the word navy at a critical moment would still make him feel at ease as a civilian.

After hanging up the phone, Gray quickly changed his face, his original calmness was shattered like a broken mirror, replaced by collapse and irritability.

He clasped Alfred's shoulders with both hands, shook them vigorously, and wailed, "Fred, what should we do! This is really a big crisis, and we haven't received any news at all! Damn it. Just at this time!"

They were almost at Shuixianxing Island, but there was a crisis in Murloc Island.

"Okay." Alfred patted Gray's arm, and said helplessly, "Didn't you say the navy would go there?"

"I guessed, it all depends on the tacit understanding between me and my father, but there is no tacit understanding between us."

"Master Cyborg must have thought more than you, an idiot. Even if we rush back, from Shuixianxing Island to Murloc Island, using flames to boost us without sleep, it will take at least a week."

A week later, everything is too late.

Alfred didn't say the last words, he looked at Gray who was squatting on the ground, hugging his head and howling, and sighed.

"Let's go, no matter how serious the matter is, you have already said that you will send people to Fishman Island, then let them all know about it, don't always think so much by yourself, your shoulders are not big enough to bear so much."

"Yes, yes, I am complaining to you now."

Gray cheered up, "If you want to go to Fishman Island, you can't let everyone go there."

"It's okay to separate."

Alfred looked at Gray with some deep meaning, "But I will be with you."

Gray was taken aback, then laughed, "Hey, of course! The treasure should be by the owner's side, right?"

"You want to die?"

"Ah! I was wrong, sorry."

The two divided up to gather everyone else, and sitting in the restaurant, Gray told about the fishman island.

Ace slapped the table and stood up, "We must hurry back!"

Whether it was before or now, Murloc Island has been in contact with Ace, and he can't sit idly by when his friends are in crisis.

"I also have to go back." Teuton was worried about his hometown and relatives, and his fists were clenched.

Shipwright Demon shook his head, "But it's unrealistic to go back like this. The ship not only has to sail to the vicinity of the Red Earth Continent, but also needs to be coated. From the perspective of time, it will be too late."

"Then I'll go back by myself." Teuton could swim back to Fishman Island. Although the journey was far away, it was much faster than a boat.

"Actually... maybe there is a way." Latin said: "I know a person with the ability of the fruit of the door, and his fruit ability can go to any place."

"Why do you know such a person?" Alder looked surprised.

"Hmph." Latin flicked his hair, triumphantly, "He has pursued others before, but was rejected by them~ Do you want to know the reason?"

"why?"

"Because I met the captain~~~" Latin covered his face with his hands and twisted, the love overflowing around him had spread to the innocent passers-by sitting next to him.

"It's really blind." Alder shook his head and muttered.

"Hahahaha, Latina, do you know where that capable person is now?" Gray asked sternly, avoiding a heart.

All eyes were on Latin.

Latin's writhing body froze, and then he said awkwardly: "Ah, I haven't contacted him for a long time."

"Then what are you talking about here?" Bud rolled his eyes.

"Because I was arrested, I lost contact after that~" Latin angrily patted the table.

"But it's still a way, if he's not dead, and he's in the New World." Perry said, "Latin, what's that man's name?"

"Carol!"

"I'll check it out." Perry left, and came back with a strange expression after a while, holding a few reward orders in his hand.

If you want to talk about how to find people in the sea, you still have to ask the reporters of the news newspaper. They can always find some incredible news in every corner, which shows how powerful their intelligence is.

"Is it him?" Perry gave Latin a reward order, and put the other ones in front of Ace.

Ace had a question mark on his head, not understanding what this had to do with him.

"it's him!"

"Huh??? Little Oz?"

Latin and Ace's voices sounded at the same time.

"Ah~" Latin covered his face again, "He and Ace have a tacit understanding~~~ I really don't know how to choose."

"You won't get any of them." Alder floated past Latin faintly, holding a bottle of rum in his hand.

"You want to die, Alder!"

When Latin was angrily dueling with Alder, Perry explained: "It was a waste of money, this man named Carol is on the ship of the Pirates of Oz, and it happens to be in the New World."

He didn't know, it was a failure, a failure.

"Father! It's little Ozzy." Ace pointed to the green-skinned little Ozzy with two horns on the reward order, and excitedly said to Whitebeard: "He will be our relative in the future!"

"It seems that you like him very much." Whitebeard accepted the reward order and commented with a smile: "He is an interesting guy."

"Of course I like him very much." The first time Ace learned to weave things in Wano Country was to weave a straw hat for Little Ozzy.

Lu Jiu was amused by Ace's words, it seems that this Oz is a very good person, otherwise Ace would not like him so much.

"Ozzy, I really like him." Ace remembered that Oz died to save him in the top battle, and his eyes were a little red.

Gray understood, "Let the negotiations with the Pirates of Oz be left to Ace and Latin, hahaha, even if we met in advance, the person who should like it will still like it."

Emotions in this world are such wonderful things, and it is precisely because of the existence of these wonderful things that the sea can be magnificent and wonderful.

"Is he a capable person?" Oden lay on White Beard's shoulder and asked curiously, "Why does he look like this?"

"He is a descendant of the devil Oz, an ancient giant family. If you see him, Oden, you will also like him very much."

"Well! Because Ace likes him very much!"

Gray knocked on the table, "Well~ since we already have a solution, let's change our course now and move forward at full speed."

"Oh!!!" Everyone became excited.

Perhaps only Latin would feel a little awkward, but compared to Murloc Island, Murloc Island is more important.

-

Chambord Islands underwater 1000 meters
A dozen warships wrapped in bubble wrap are about to head to Murloc Island.

Nowadays, there are no generals in the navy, and only the marshal steel bone can do everything by himself.

All the navies have received information about the escaped prisoners in Advance City, knowing that it will be a tough battle waiting for them.

I don't know where the Rocks Pirates are.

It was also very risky for Cyborg to make the decision to go to Murloc Island. He speculated that Lockes would go directly to the New World and capture them in Push City, and Gray would have half of the credit.

The Murloc Island sheltered by the Black Flame will definitely become the first target of Lockes' revenge.

But if this guess is wrong, and Lockes did the opposite and did not go to the new world, then their actions this time will not only be a waste of effort, but may also involve more innocent people.

The pressure on the steel frame was enormous, and the cloak of naval justice almost made him unable to breathe.

It is necessary to face the pressure of the world government and be responsible to the civilians as much as possible.

The Admiral of the Navy seems to have unlimited scenery, but only when he really sits on it can he know the pain of being caught in the middle.

"The World Government didn't tell the civilians about the prison escape in the city." Garp said in a flat tone, as if he knew the World Government would do this for a long time.

Zefa and Sengoku were extremely angry, as if their eyes were about to burst into flames, burning the information they held in their hands into ashes.

"If you think about it, you will know, this time is not a random prison escape." With dark blue hair tied into a neat ponytail, the tall crane leaned on the side of the boat with his arms folded, behind him was a sea fish swimming wantonly.

"Sure enough, Ah He sees things more thoroughly than them." Garp said with a grin, "Speaking of which, you came here too, didn't you learn to be a staff officer?"

"Hmph, the elite navy is here."

He rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not a civil servant, and besides, the three of you have improved your strength like chicken blood recently, how could I fall behind?"

"Hahahaha, it's indeed a crane!" Garp reached out and patted the crane's shoulder vigorously, looking very happy.

It's okay to say once or twice, but a blue vein popped up on Crane's forehead, and he hammered Garp on the deck heavily, roaring: "You can't stop beating, right?"

"Yes, I'm sorry," Garp apologized tremblingly.

"Idiot." Zefa took two steps back, and said to Sengoku, "You fought Lockes before, how is he?"

"The strength is very good, especially the fruit ability."

Warring States thought of Rocks' strange fruit ability, passed Zefa and Garp, and said to the crane: "If you meet Rocks, you must be careful, he can suck people with abilities, and can make our devil fruit abilities invalid."

"So why did you only talk to the crane?" Garp looked at Zhan Guo quietly, and condemned: "I didn't expect Zhan Guo to go too far."

"Tsk, you and Zefa are not capable people, that trick only works on capable people." Zhan Guo glared at him.

"If I meet him, I'd like to fight him." Zefa clenched his fists. He has been exercising for a while, and he hasn't realized how much progress he has made.

Garp said: "That's right, if you meet Lockes, Zefa and I will be fine, and you capable people should deal with others."

"I'm afraid Lockes won't come over." Crane frowned, "Marshal's decision this time is a bit risky. Although Lockes has a high probability of choosing to go to the new world, I'm afraid they will do the opposite."

"But it's the best way. It's better than looking for them all over the world."

"The world government has really gone too far this time."

Warring States said angrily: "Such an important matter is concealed, and we want our navy to solve it by ourselves. Damn it! Where did they put the civilians?"
