One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"This is not something you should care about." Zefa didn't deny it immediately, which is already very clear.

Grace let out a sigh and muttered, "I don't understand you, let's learn from Karp, my son is three years old."

"..." Zefa was silent, and said after a while: "I am a different person from him, Karp has no ambitions."

"I joined the Navy to be a hero, and I don't think about anything else until I achieve my goal."

Gray didn't understand Zefa's brain, "There is no conflict between love and ambition."

Zefa nodded, "Yes, there is no conflict between them."

The subject changed, and he said again: "But I know myself, and I won't invest my feelings in other places until I achieve the desired result—"

"—It's not fair to Ashley."

No matter what kind of relationship it is, it is impossible to go for a long time with a hot head. Zefa is a person who acts seriously and thinks very long-term.

Once you really love someone, you have to love for a lifetime.

Gray thought for a while, then smiled and said, "You are really sensible, Zefa, but ah~"

He used the most relaxed and leisurely voice, and even smiled casually, "Sometimes people can be irrational."

"...It sounds like you have a lot of experience." Zefa said to Gray without comment.

"Tch, of course." Gladther stood up, "The noble ladies who have collected my reward order can line up directly from the steel frame office to the inverted mountain!"

"The Marshal may leave the Navy Headquarters to catch you." Zefa imagined the scene, and joked: "After you are imprisoned in Jinjin City, I will ask you what type of noble lady you like across the cell."

"Hahahaha, it seems to be something he can do, but how can a white dove in a church kiss a crow in a field." Gray laughed loudly, "I'm a pirate~ My thoughts and thoughts are all about the sea."

……

When this heroic Captain Gray was brought in front of Hebrew by Zefa, he still held his head high and held his chest high.

Zefa tactfully did not disturb the reminiscence of the two, closed the door and left.

"Long time no see, Heiyan Gray." Hebrew sat in the reception room of the general's mansion, smiling kindly.

Gray handcuffed Hai Loushi, sat cross-legged opposite him, and said with a smile, "Long time no see, Uncle Hebrew!"

"It's rare that you still remember me." Hebrew stood up slowly, crossing his hands and flexing his wrists.

As he got up, Gray moved his gaze upwards, the smile on his face froze, and he had a faint feeling of bad premonition.

Soon, the premonition came true, and Hebrew punched him in the face when he disagreed with each other.

Although Gray is wearing the Hailou Stone, it is not extremely pure, it is just that he cannot use black flames and his body is weak.

He tilted his head to avoid the punch, and the wind blowing from the fist blew the hair by his ears.

"It's dangerous." Gray breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the situation was not good, he certainly wouldn't sit there, after all, Hebrew's next punch directly hit the tatami mat he was sitting on just now.

Seeing the piece of tatami shattered into slag, Gray couldn't help shouting: "Uncle Hebrew, are you serious!?"

"Huh? Have I ever joked with you?" Hebrew raised his fist again, "Don't pretend, these handcuffs will only limit your black flame, but it won't prevent you from even being able to fight back."

"But I don't have the strength~" Gray smiled wryly.

He really regretted it.

In fact, he could dodge being handcuffed by Zefa, but he didn't dodge because the kid was quite interesting.

Despite his lack of strength, Gray was able to escape.

He nimbly dodged Hebrew's attack, and the latter didn't really think about it, so Gray didn't even get hurt.

It's just that this reception room...is a bit miserable.

"Are you sure you heard it right, that captured pirate wants to take Oden out to sea?" Kozuki Sukiyaki asked the waiter beside him as he walked quickly towards the reception room.

The waiter nodded, "It's absolutely true, this pirate said that as long as Lord Oda finds his fellow pirates, he will take him out to sea."

When Gray was arrested, there were many onlookers around, and Oden was a household name in the capital of flowers, so the news spread quickly.

There is a captured pirate who wants to take Kozuki Oden to sea. This is a serious crime to lure the heir of the general to sea!

Kozuki Sukiyaki became more and more anxious as he thought about it, and finally kicked the door of the reception room with his foot. The paper sliding door fell down as soon as he kicked it, and what was displayed in front of the general was a severely damaged reception room.

"What, what's going on here?" The waiter opened his mouth wide, not knowing what happened.

Kozuki Sukiyaki was still calm, but he was also very angry.

"Hebrew, what's going on?" He looked at Hebrew standing in the conference room, who was still grabbing someone by the collar, raising his fist in the air as if about to punch someone, "Is this the pirate? Give him to me!"

Hebrew let go of Gray's collar, not quite understanding, "This is a pirate captured by our navy, why should it be handed over to you?"

"He abducted my son to go to sea, isn't that considered a felony?" Kozuki Sukiyaki pointed at the innocent Gray and said angrily.

With a question mark on his head, Gray asked aggrievedly, "What are you doing, didn't you come to save me, uncle?"

"Save you? I'm here to let you fall into the endless hell!" Sukiyaki put on a fierce look.

Hebrew frowned and looked at Gray, "You abducted his son?"

"How is it possible?" Gray felt aggrieved, "I don't even know them, why would I abduct his son to go to sea?"

Hebrew thought the same thing, he had seen the son of Sukiyaki, at a very young age, no matter how stupid Gray was, he would never let a child on board.

And he kicked that kid away at that time, it's impossible to meet Gray by such a coincidence.

"Did you hear that, General Guangyue." Hebrew said, "He doesn't know your son at all."

Seeing that both of them were so sure, Kozuki Sukiyaki became uncertain himself, he pursed his lips, and looked at the waiter who told him about it.

The latter puffed up his chest, "Everything I said below is true, it is really this pirate who is going to take Lord Oda out to sea!"

Mita?Gray tilted his head, it was so familiar, he seemed to have heard it somewhere, um... he closed his eyes and thought about it carefully.

As the memory became clearer and clearer, cold sweat broke out on his back, and his lips were tightly pursed, for fear that he would show a little flaw.

However, acting skills are not something that everyone can possess. For a person like Gray who can't hide things, his acting skills are almost equal to zero when he is guilty.

Gray, who calmed down for a moment, attracted the attention of Hebrew and Kozuki Sukiyaki, and anyone with eyes could see his abnormality.

"Sure enough, it was you who did it!" Kozuki Sukiyaki walked towards Gray angrily.

The latter shamelessly hid behind Haijun and asked, "You have to tell me what your son's name is first? I don't know you!"

"Kozuki Oden!" Kozuki Sukiyaki said angrily, "You know him, a child who is only seven years old, and you actually tricked him into being a pirate!!!"

"I didn't lie to him!" Gray retorted confidently: "I invited him, and he agreed, so now Kozuki Oden is a member of the Black Firework Pirates... oh!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he was hit hard on the head. Gray covered his head with his hands, and squatted on the ground in pain, "Damn it..."

Hebrew withdrew his fist, stepped forward, blocked Kozuki Sukiyaki who was furious, and said lightly: "I have understood the matter, this pirate will be handled by the navy."

"No!" Sukiyaki disagreed. After all, his son knew that although he was a jerk, he kept his promise. If the pirate really asked Mita to find his accomplice, Mita would definitely go.

That would be too dangerous. If those pirates knew that Oden was the heir to the shogun of Wano Country and used him to threaten Wano Country, things would be bad.

Therefore, this pirate must be in the hands of Wano Country.
