One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Chapter 72 The Truth 3 Years Ago

When the black fireworks were heading towards the Hive Island, the naval warship led by Hebrew also left from the waters of Wano Country, and after a few days, returned to the naval headquarters of Marin Fando.

At the same time, Vegas Island, which was ravaged by the black fire, regained its magnetic power, and its destruction was immediately discovered by the chamber of commerce who came to buy gold products.

The bustling and bustling island had been burned to the point that only the scorched land was left, and everything that remained was scattered in the wind.

The iconic of the Black Firework Pirates—the white stroked flame has a skull with eyes that are both flames—the pirate flag is planted on the land in the center of the island, and the black flag flutters with the wind.

Who destroyed the island, the truth is self-evident.

The Chamber of Commerce quickly sold this big news to the newspaper at a high price. When the Navy got the news, the situation was out of control.

For unknown reasons, the Black Firework Pirates burned down an island, which maintains the nearby economy, and there are at least a thousand residents on the island.

All of a sudden, the newspapers came up with various reasons for catching up on the rumors and embellishing them, but what never changed was that these reasons were cruel and terrifying.

For example, there was a newspaper that said that Heiyan Gray just ruined an island for fun just because he was in a bad mood for a while.

Some newspapers also said that Hei Yan likes to hear the voices of people crying and begging for mercy. Such reports will increase the sales of newspapers.

As for authenticity, who cares?

For several days in a row, the name of Hei Yanhuo firmly occupied the large pages of the major newspapers, and it was not until the navy intervened that it barely stopped.

It is undeniable that the Black Firework Pirates headed by Black Flame Gray are even more vicious.

At the Naval Headquarters, Admiral Steel Gukong slammed the newspaper in his hand on the table. With a bang, the table was broken into two pieces, and the documents were scattered all over the floor.

He didn't care, he pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers, and his frowning could kill flies.

Hebrew, who came to report the progress of the task, knocked on the door, and he walked in slowly until the sound of "in" came from inside.

"Hey, what's this for?" Hebrew raised his eyebrows, bent down to pick up a newspaper on the ground, "You're so angry that Gray isn't in front of you."

Steel Bone snorted coldly, "That kid really thinks of himself as a pirate, he can do anything."

"Why do you believe the rumors in the newspapers." Hebrew said, "That child can't do such a thing, so there must be some reason."

"What's the reason? There are still traces of his black fire on that island, and even the flag is planted there." Steel Bones wanted to believe Gray, but the evidence was clear that Gray was the murderer who destroyed the island.

And leaving the flag behind after doing something is indeed an arrogant thing that kid can do.

"Anyway, I reserve my opinion on this matter." Hebrew found a place to sit down and said, "I met Gray in Wano Country, you know that."

"Well, what? Did he come here to apologize to me because he didn't catch the water?"

"Haha, I didn't release the water." Hebrew said: "His knowledge color can already predict the future, and his armed color is also very skilled."

In the fist that Gray slammed into the abdomen, that brat used both his knowledge and his weaponry, and he didn't hold back at all.

"He's only 20 years old, Kong, do you know what I mean?"

"Ah... I understand." Steel Bone said in a deep voice.

If you continue to let it go, Gray may grow into a monster that no one can control, that child...

"I've been thinking about whether it was right or wrong to bring him back 13 years ago." Steel Bone looked at Hebrew, "There is something I didn't tell anyone, and it might just be my imagination."

"What?" Hebrew raised an eyebrow.

"13 years ago, I led a team to carry out a mission. At that time..."

They received the mission in a hurry, saying that the naval base of an island sent out a distress signal, but when they got there, the entire island was destroyed.

There are ruins, corpses and large pits hit by artillery fire everywhere on the ground, flammable things are continuously burning, and the air is full of burnt and gunpowder smell.

He ordered the sailors to scatter and search for survivors, and he searched for them himself.

Pull apart every corpse, test his carotid artery, lift up collapsed houses, and find out if anyone is among them.

Suppressing his anger, he glanced into the distance inadvertently, and saw a child wearing a dirty and torn shirt, his exposed calf and face were all dusty.

He was walking aimlessly, his eyes were not focused, and even if there was a burning flame in front of him, he stepped on it without hesitation.

Steel Bone ran over quickly, and when he saw the child stepping on the fire with bare feet, he immediately picked him up and looked at the soles of the child's feet that were burned by the fire.

But the child's foot was intact, with no signs of burns except stone cuts and dirt.

This is very strange, he clearly remembered that the child stepped on the fire just now.

"Why are you..." Steel Bone wanted to ask in a low voice, but met a pair of eyes as black as ink, and a red light flashed in those eyes.

Overlord color? !Cyborg instinctively felt that it was dangerous, and his physical instinct made him leave the child behind, and then avoid it from a distance.

The short-lived overlord's arrogance did not spread very far, and the steel bone was not the kind of person who would be intimidated by the newly awakened overlord's color.

He was just a little shocked, shocked that such a child would have the appearance of a domineering king.

The child lost consciousness after being thrown to the ground, and was brought back into a coma for a few days. When he woke up, he could not remember anything except his name.

Then, during a visit, Steel Bones saw the child sitting on the hospital bed with a black flame burning in his hand.

Not only has he awakened Overlord Color, but he is also a devil fruit capable user.

Cyborg checked that island, a peaceful island where not even pirates have been, how could there be such a child?
"We reported that the pirate group was attacking the island, but in fact there was no such pirate group at all." The steel bone slowly peeled off the superficial cover of the events of the year.

"I know, you haven't found that pirate group." Hebrew said.

"It's not that they didn't find out, it's that there wasn't one at all." Cyborg shook his head, "There was no pirate group attacking that island, and it was the naval base on that island that destroyed that island."

"What?! What do you mean?"

"Although it's hard to accept, it's the truth. I've heard the recording of the distress call at the naval base. They said they encountered a monster; they didn't encounter the Pirates and asked for support."

"Grey is that monster." Cyborg leaned back on the chair wearily, "Although I don't want to say it, he may be more terrifying than we imagined."

"Why do you think so?" Hebrew couldn't understand, "He was only seven years old at the time! A child with amnesia."

"What if the amnesia is also a faux pas?" Cyborg smiled at himself, denying himself, "If that's the case, it would be terrible."
