One Piece: The Eternal Flame

However, the navy has been insisting on disagreeing, so he also cut off the delivery of Hailoushi, and both sides are exhausted.

Gray raised his eyebrows and asked suddenly: "Is there any difference between the punishment in Wano Country and the outside world?"

"Ah?" Kozuki Sukiyaki was stunned for a moment, and his thoughts were also strayed by Gray's question, and he replied honestly: "It should be no different, burning, beheading and hanging..."

He suddenly reacted and roared: "Why should I discuss this with you!!!"

Gray laughed and said, "Because I'm very interested, hahaha."

"I don't care if you're interested or not!" Kozuki Sukiyaki folded his arms, "Tell me, what do you want to say when you meet me alone, if it's about my son, then there's no need to discuss it!"

"Oh, it's not about Yutian." Gray grinned, wrote something on the white paper, and muttered: "Is there a ninja in the general's mansion? We want a coquettish female ninja to sail with us~"

As he spoke, he pushed the white paper on which he had written on towards Kozuki Sukiyaki, and then put down the brush heavily.

It took Kozuki Sukiyaki a long time to react, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and said word by word: "If what you want to talk about is female ninjas, we do have enchanting and gorgeous female ninjas, but correspondingly, Oden must be returned to us!"

Although he tried his best to suppress his breathing, he still became short of breath. The pirate captain in front of him, who had been out of tune, faded the smile on his face, and actually gave him a... suffocating sense of oppression.

But Kozuki Sukiyaki glanced at the thick sea stone on Gray's wrist, obviously as a capable person, he was still wearing the sea stone handcuffs for suppression...

He suddenly remembered what his father had said to him in a vicissitudes of tone when he asked his father why Wano country closed the country.

"Wano Country once thought about contacting the outside world, but people from outside coveted Wano Country's gold. If Ryoma hadn't repelled those coveting people, Wano Country might have been destroyed long ago."

"After Ryoma's death, Wano Country no longer had such powerful samurai, so we were forced to close the country to protect our country."

"The existence of some people is itself a deterrent. Even if he just sits there, his aura is enough to make others timid."

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked at the words written on the white paper—historical texts and partition walls have ears. He didn't know where the pirate got the clues about the historical texts of the General's Mansion.

But he dared not act rashly.

Because Kozuki Sukiyaki knows that the world government is afraid of the historical text, and has always wanted to take in the Wano country and control the Kozuki family who can understand the historical text.

The fact that the partition has ears means that someone outside is listening, and who else but the navy.

"Is there a ninja in the general's mansion? We want to sail with a coquettish female ninja~"

After hearing what Gray said, Hebrew opened his eyes and withdrew his knowledge.

If it were any other person, Hebrew would not let down his vigilance no matter what he heard, but would keep hearing their conversation end.

But this time is different, Gray is the child he watched grow up, what parent would be wary of his own child, and Gray has grown up, so it is not easy for him to intervene in emotional matters.

Zefa had been waiting by the side, and when Hebrew opened his eyes, he immediately asked, "Lieutenant General Hebrew, did Gray not say anything?"

"No, let's go back and rest." Hebrew shook his head, and after seeing Zefa heaved a sigh of relief, he said with a little deep meaning: "Zefa, with the number of times you have performed missions and your strength, you are at least the same as Garp and the others now."

Zefa lowered his face, "What do you want to say?"

"As one of the factors that prevented you from being promoted, don't you have any complaints about Gray?"

"It's not his fault." Zefa replied, "It's the path I chose."

He wanted to be a hero, but he didn't want to be stained with the blood of the enemy, so it was himself, not others, that caused this result.

"Go and rest, let that kid Gray figure it out." Hebrew shook his head and didn't intend to say anything more.

Although Zefa's ideas seemed naive to him, this naivety was what the navy needed most.

It's a pity... there are very few people who have this kind of innocence.

Zefa pushed the door out and looked at the promenade next to him with heavy eyes. At the corner of the promenade, a touch of cherry blossom pink clothes flashed past.

He squinted his eyes and raised his foot to walk there.

……

"Information is always unpredictable." Gray shrugged, "So now we can go to other places to have a good chat? As a general, you must have a way to avoid the navy."

"What the hell are you..." Kozuki Sukiyaki could no longer see through the young man in front of him, he felt apprehensive, and his tone became a little more cautious.

"Before we came to Wano Country, we went to Zou once, and saw the first stone there."

Gray took out the group photo from his pocket, "The treetop of the Whale Forest. I heard that Zou and the Kozuki clan have been friends for generations. Zou has already trusted us. I don't think you need to be so wary."

Once Gray decided what to do, his aggressiveness became stronger. His aggressiveness was like his black flame, so aggressive that it made people breathless.

He has always felt that there is no need to be so strong at ordinary times, just like the conflict between Ace and the others last time, he actually knows it completely.

But as long as he, as the captain, makes it clear, this is a matter that cannot be reduced to a small one. At that time, everyone will be embarrassed, and it is even more impossible to accept Ace.

Kozuki Sukiyaki looked at the group photo. In fact, he had never been to Zou, but his father had been. When he came back, he sighed: I really want to know what kind of friendship can last for hundreds of years.

——People outside cannot be trusted, but Zou can, that is our ally for generations.

Sukiyaki was silent for a long time.Only then did he put down the photo and said, "Come with me, there is a place that is absolutely safe."

After he finished speaking, the response he got was a low grunt. Gray lowered his head and fell asleep because he had waited too long.

Tsk... Sukiyaki had a few hashtags on his forehead, pulled out the samurai sword from his waist, and smashed it at Gray's head with the scabbard, "You bastard, you actually fell asleep when your mind was so turbulent!!!"

"clang-"

When the scabbard was not far from the top of the head, it stopped suddenly. It wasn't that Sukiyaki suddenly had a conscience, but Gray woke up and raised his hand to block the blow.

Hailoushi's chains were chopping, and Gray laughed, raised his head, and said regretfully, "It's a pity, you should throw away the scabbard before chopping."
