One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Feeling humiliated, the pirates roared, and rushed over under the captain's command. Their weapons gleamed coldly, and not far away were the black muzzles of the loaded flintlock guns.

Nora's body froze in place. Although her brain clearly knew that she had to move, really, really move, or she would die, her body couldn't control her body anyway. Tears blurred her eye sockets, and her whole body was shaking.

Suddenly, someone beside him sighed, which sounded at the same time as the gunfire in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, the black flames burned rapidly, and in just a split second, the pirates fell to the ground, either howling, or fainted.

"You see, being a pirate requires awareness." Gray lowered his head to her ear and sighed softly.

Nora's body suddenly lost strength, and she knelt down on the ground, trembling all over, and the sense of panic when she saw Gray for the first time came back to her heart.

She finally soberly realized how huge the gap between them was.

Gray casually picked up a knife on the ground, knelt down in front of Nora on one knee, and slowly stuffed the handle of the knife into her hand. His movements were very gentle, with an indescribably strange charm.

Nora looked up at him, wondering why Gray had handed her a knife.

"Little princess, it's dangerous outside. If you want to leave your comfort zone, you should be cruel as soon as possible." Gray smiled with white teeth,
He helped Nora up and dragged her to a pirate, "I didn't kill any of these pirates, I reserved them for you. If they want to kill us, then we should kill them too. It's fair, right? So come on, show your determination to grow up."

"But." Nora's hand holding the knife was trembling, and her voice was crying, "But they are already like this."

Without the ability to resist, they have all been defeated, why should they kill them all?

"Because they want to kill you." Gray held onto Nora's wrist and swung his knife to chop it off. Blood spurted out and splashed on Nora's body.

"If you want to grow, you have to do this step, otherwise you will be swallowed up by this cruel world."

When she returned to the boat, Nora no longer had the strength to stand up. Her blond hair fell messily on her forehead, and her beautiful face was expressionless, as if her soul had been pulled away, even her eyes were empty.

Gray waved his hand at Achitis, "You don't need to thank me."

"I didn't want to thank you." Akatis rolled his eyes, squatted in front of Nora and waved his hand worriedly. This is the little girl from their chamber of commerce. It would be bad if she was stupid.

"Is it too hasty?" Perry looked at Gray, "Growing up is a very long process."

"She's a girl." Alder sighed.

"Hahaha, people can't live in a greenhouse all their lives, Mita is better than her." Gray blinked at Mita.

The latter raised his tail immediately after receiving the praise, "Reggie is right, you can't show mercy to the enemy!"

But after he finished speaking, he said, "But you can't be so rude to women!"

"Oh, you are very experienced, little guy~" Latin covered his mouth and smiled.

"Of course, I have been in and out of Huajie since I was six years old!" Mitian said proudly with his hips akimbo.

However, his pride didn't last long, and he was scolded by the jealous adults.

"Hey, in comparison, the captain will be too hopeless." Colin rubbed his chin and worried. Although he had good intentions, he was too direct and cruel in dealing with Nora's issue.

It's really worrying about his future.

After being forced to grow up this time, Nora's attitude towards Gray returned to the fear she had when they first met.

Gray didn't have much self-consciousness, and when he saw her, he raised his hand and said hello, "Yo ~ crybaby."

Nora nodded to him after a long distance, and then ran to find Latin. The latter's physical skills were light and agile, which was very suitable for teaching her.

Gray shook his head and sat down casually.

The sudden force on his waist made Ace almost fall to the deck with his arms limp, but in the end he still supported the weight of a person. He gritted his teeth and said to Gray, "Can you say hello and sit down again!"

"Huh?" Gray raised his eyebrows, and smiled heartlessly, "I'm so sorry ~ Ace."

"Reggie, I'm going to finish it soon!" Oden said excitedly.

He and Ace were doing push-ups on the deck, talking about manly workouts or something.

"That's right," Gray looked at Perry, "How far behind are they, Perry."

"Ten thousand and five thousand." Perry replied without looking up.

"You haven't counted at all, have you?" Ace said, "I've done it long ago..."

"That's right, let's add another 1." Perry said lightly, "Practice more."

"Hahaha, anyway, I have to keep doing it before I tell you to stop." Gray followed Ace's push-ups, which was quite fun.

He then greeted Colin, "Colin, press something for Oden."

Soon, Oden also felt the pain of Ace. He felt that his waist was about to break. It was hard to imagine how Ace held on.

Damn, he won't lose in this kind of manly duel!
"While you're exercising, Perry will give you lessons."

"What?" Ace wondered.

"Class?" Mitian's face fell, he hated class the most, "Isn't it something like memorization?"

"It's not reciting, it's something that makes you stronger." Perry put down what he was on hand, and said to the two of them, "Ace should have known the theory of domineering, but it shouldn't be a problem to listen to it again."

"The so-called domineering is the potential power possessed by all human beings. This kind of power is an innate ability, momentum, murderousness, fighting spirit... When you manipulate these invisible feelings, willpower can be turned into a weapon."

"Domineering is divided into three types: "knowledge color", "armed color" and "overlord color". Except for "overlord color" and "the highest level of knowledge color", ordinary people can obtain this kind of power through practice, and can continue to practice and strengthen it.

"But after reaching a certain limit, you can only go to the next level in the extreme state of actual combat. "Overlord color" and "the highest level of knowledge color" are both innate and cannot be obtained through cultivation. The highest level of knowledge color domineering is rarer than the domineering color domineering."

"Oden, Armed Color Domineering is the power you absorbed from Yan Mo. You should also know that you can't master it yet."

"Well, I have no way to control the Liuying Sword Qi absorbed by Yan Mo. Liuying should be what you call domineering." Yu Tian quickly realized.

Liu Ying is their Wano country's unique name for armed domineering, and Oden knows in his heart that the knowledge that Perry said will be of great help to him.
