One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The three of them returned to the boat, and Nora hurried up to greet her, stretched out her arms and hugged the head of the golden eagle, and said softly, "Why are you here?"

The golden eagle called a few times and rubbed Nora's head affectionately.

"These two are..." Ace looked at the extra man and woman on the boat.

Achatis greeted first, "Hey~ I'm Achatis, a black market merchant who cooperates with your pirate group."

"This guy is not important, he's just running errands." Teuton patted Ace on the shoulder and smiled.

"Hey! Do you want to cooperate in the future?!" Arkatis immediately frowned, "I am the second in command of our chamber of commerce!"

"I'm Nora, I would like to ask..." Nora walked up to Ace and bowed. Although she was very eager, she still remembered her etiquette.

"Nora?" Oden looked at Ace, "Is that the name of the sister Fasha mentioned?"

"Fasha is my elder brother!" Nora became even more anxious when she heard the name of her relative, "May I ask how you two..."

"Sky Island is safe, and so is your family," Ace interrupted her, and said with a smile: "We promised Fasha to help find you, but it turned out that you were on our boat."

"It's safe..." Nora covered her mouth and knelt down on the ground, her invincible opponent was so easily defeated by two people.

This is really... really good!Her loved ones were spared and her country was saved.

"Thank you very much... Thank you very much!" Nora was about to salute Ace and Oden.

But Ace stopped her in a hurry, and said with a headache: "Why does your country always like to kneel... As for the gift, Fasha and the others have already given it to us."

Pointing to the packages on the golden eagle's back, he said to Gray, "We brought back a lot of gold."

"Yes, yes, Reggie, don't you like gold?" Oden also held Gray's arm, his tone very proud.

"Haha, that's it, you guys are amazing." Gray laughed and patted Oden and Ace on the head.

He didn't tell them that the gold was already theirs, even if they didn't take it, the Chamber of Commerce of Achatis would give them the money they deserved.

Ace covered his head to avoid Gray's movements, and complained: "I'm as old as you, Gray, don't act like an elder!"

Gray was taken aback for a moment, subconsciously glanced at his hand, and then he became angry.

"Well, you brat, how dare you talk to your captain like that!"

Gray held Ace's shoulder with one hand, and the other palm covered Ace's face with black flames. The latter couldn't struggle, so he simply wrapped his hand in flames and slapped Gray's face.

Anyway, the two of them are not afraid of each other, and it is the people next to them who suffer from the fire.

Nora stared dumbfounded at the two fighting like children, opened her mouth, and asked Latin beside her, "Sister Latin, can't their flames hurt people?"

"Yes, but they have no lethality against each other." Latin nodded, "Instead, it can enhance Ace's flame ability."

Nora was thoughtful, her ability is also flame, but it can't hurt anything, isn't it... She can also increase the power of flame, so that she can become stronger in the future?

"Captain Gray..." Nora mustered up her courage and said to Gray, "Can you teach me how to increase the temperature of the flame?"

Gray let out an ah, and with his messy black hair on his head, he blinked blankly and said, "It's not cold today."

He thought Nora was cold, so he asked him to increase the flame temperature or something.

Ace tidied his clothes and hair, and reached out to help Gray smooth his hair.

——Look, he is like a reliable elder.

"It's not cold, it's because..." Nora pursed her lips, stretched out her hands, and golden flames ignited in her palms, "I also have divine power, but my flames can't burn anything, so I would like to ask you, how can I be as powerful as you..."

"Oh, it's so beautiful." Everyone leaned closer, looking at this cluster of faint but extremely beautiful flames.

"What do you mean you can't burn something?" Perry asked.

"It's just that it has no lethality. I've tried it a few times. It can only burn off the impurities in the item, just like gold. After burning this kind of flame, the purity will be higher."

Nora suddenly remembered when she turned into a bird in the storm, "By the way, it can also turn me into a... black three-legged crow!"

"Black crow, burn off the impurities..." Tang En rubbed his chin and guessed, "It's the golden crow fruit of the animal-type phantom beast!"

"Then turn into a crow and show me." Gray was the only one who hadn't watched Nora's flame up close, and the previous approach had brought him a not-so-good experience.

Nora actually didn't know how she turned into a crow at that time. She closed her eyes and thought hard for a while, and her whole body was actually ignited with golden flames.

Soon, her hands turned into wings first, and a three-legged crow surrounded by golden flames stood on the deck.

"The flame of the Golden Crow Fruit doesn't have the ability to attack, but it can purify everything." Tang En asked Perry to go to the study to get the Devil Fruit Illustration, and accurately stated the number of pages of the Golden Crow Fruit.

"What kind of purification is purifying everything?" Colin asked.

"For example, the most useful thing about this ability is that if a person is poisoned, using this kind of flame can detoxify him, because toxins are impurities, not the body's own." Perry held a book and explained Colin's question.

"Oh, that sounds pretty good." Alder said with a smile, "We happen to be missing a detoxification person on board."

"Huh? Another ability user?" Teuton had a headache, "Please, Oden and I don't have extra hands, how can we save them!"

On the contrary, Mi Tian was very happy, and promised: "Leave the task of rescue to me, and I will definitely be able to do it well."

"This fruit also has a bad point." Perry glanced at everyone, and said again: "Once the purified ingredients handled by the flames are used for cooking, the eaters will become addicted, so that except for the dishes made of these ingredients, other foods are difficult to swallow."

Some complicated explanations made several less intelligent people show obvious puzzled expressions.

Andrew, who is a chef, sighed and explained: "It means that these purified ingredients will become top-notch delicacy, and the eater will not be able to swallow ordinary food after eating the purified food."

"Top delicacy?!" Gray's eyes lit up in a flash, and he raised his hand excitedly: "I, I, I, I, I want to try it!"

"It's said that it will be addictive!" Perry hammered Gray's head and looked at Nora. "In short, this is the case. No matter how much your flame improves, you will not have offensive power. Rather than relying on abilities, you should exercise more."

"...Thank you very much." Nora bowed and thanked her. Although it was a pity, there was no other way.

After these three years of suffering, she knew that she must become stronger in order to better protect the country and the people.

……

"Thank you very much for your help, I am very grateful!" Standing on the golden eagle, Nora bowed again, and the wind blew her golden hair, "I will go back first."

Arkatis was also sitting on the golden eagle. He was going to go to Sky Island with Nora to discuss the purchase of gold later. He waved his hand at Gray and told them, "Remember the auction on Hive Island. Besides Adam wood, there are quite a lot of good things to buy."

"Oh, don't worry!" Gray waved his hand and laughed.

Latin muttered enviously, "What a great hair quality~"

"What hair quality?" Bud next to him asked.

"It's just the hair~ split ends and dryness, it's really a headache."

"... Oh." Didn't understand much, Bud replied dryly, a little regretting why he asked this question so unnecessary.
