One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Ace woke up after being in a coma for a while, and Colin's treatment was very effective.

When he opened his eyes again, apart from the mental exhaustion caused by the battle, there was no more pain in his body, and the bloody back of his hand had returned to its original appearance.

"Are you awake? Have a drink." Gray sat beside him, saw him wake up, and handed him a bottle of rum with a smile.

They are now sitting in the shade of a tree, where the others are also.

Only those who are missing from the Sword Pirates.

Although it is better for normal people to drink water at this time, for pirates, wine is a more effective panacea than water.

Ace took the wine with his head covered, and after taking a sip, he finally remembered what happened before.

He looked at Gray—the latter had changed clothes, bought by Latin, of course.

The upper body is a white short sleeve with a small sun printed on it, and the lower body is a pair of black shorts. The shoes are not slippers, but a pair of leather short boots.

Obviously Gray is not very used to wearing short boots. When Ace looked at him, he was knocking on the ground with his heels.

For pirates, slippers are the most commonly worn at sea.

There is no way, the sea often encounters storms, and ordinary shoes get soaked quickly, and when the sea water dries up, there will be salt particles sticking to them.

Boots with good airtightness are obviously not as comfortable as slippers.

Ace immediately forgot what he wanted to say just now, looked at Gray amusedly, and asked, "If you're not used to it, change your slippers."

"Ah?" Gray withdrew his foot and shook his head, "Fortunately, I'm not unaccustomed to it. Latin said that this suit is a set, so you can only wear it like this."

"So that's the case, it's a set." Ace suddenly realized, and then remembered what he wanted to say before, "What about Teresi and the others? I want to thank him in person."

"Thank you~" Gray shrugged, "They have gone to the auction, and they can already enter."

"Hey, has it already started?" Ace didn't know how long he had been in a coma, it should only be for a while.

"Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry," Gray patted him on the shoulder, "It's just preparation time."

"Many pirates have just arrived now." Perry also said.

At the port, several pirate ships sailed and dropped anchor, and came to this island.

"By the way!" Ace suddenly remembered, "Two days ago I saw that Warwick Pirates left in the middle of the night, the day we had a banquet."

"Warwick?" Perry frowned. There were too many pirate groups on the island, so he didn't care if any pirate ships left.

"Is there something urgent?" Alder guessed.

"It stands to reason that he shouldn't leave before the auction."

"Who knows, maybe something really happened."

Everyone guessed for a while without thinking, but in the end they couldn't figure it out and chose to give up.

Gray thought for a while and said, "It's okay, let's go to the auction first, who wants to guard the boat?"

"Me and Demon." Colin offered.

"I'm also guarding the boat." Perry was not at ease with the Warwick Pirates who had left, and said, "Twain, I hope they don't spend money randomly."

"Ah?" Tang En pointed at himself, unbelievable, "Did you let a blind man see the child?"

"You're not really blind!" A hashtag appeared on Perry's forehead, "Forget it, Teuton is optimistic about them!"

"I'll try my best." Teuton reluctantly said.

"Tsk, no one can be trusted."

"Let me do it." Charles, who had been taciturn all this time, suddenly pulled out a card and said mysteriously, "I just did a divination. If we spend money recklessly, there will be a catastrophe."

After the last word fell, there was a sudden loud thunder in the sky.

Everyone looked up, the sky was cloudless, and the sudden thunder seemed to be verifying Charles' words.

Gray's expression gradually became dignified, and he held Charles' hand involuntarily, and promised, "Don't worry, I will take care of them!"

"The most worrying thing is you~" Abel said helplessly.

The auction was held in the lobby on the first floor of the skeleton building, with seats on the upper and lower floors.

As soon as Gray and the others stepped through the door, the waitress in charge greeted them.

Alder said in surprise: "Nora!?"

"Hello~" Nora bowed gracefully in a uniform maid outfit.

"You are a princess." Latin felt a little helpless, the noble princess condescended to serve the pirates, which was really upside down.

But he only sighed, because he knew that this was Nora's own choice, and all they had to do was respect Nora's choice.

"Please come with me." Nora walked ahead and brought them to the box on the second floor, where sofas, wine and food were prepared.

"Captain Gray, our boss said that he hoped that you would like Dressrosa's dessert."

"Oh? I really miss it~" Gray took the lead to sit on the sofa, reached for the dessert on the table, and greeted, "Come and try it, Ace, Oden."

Dressrosa is famous for its flowers everywhere, and its desserts also have some floral aromas that are not found elsewhere in the crispy and soft waxy.

The first bite may feel strange, but as long as you take a few more bites, the sweetness will burst in your mouth, making you feel the enthusiasm and unrestrainedness of Dressrosa.

"It's weird." Oden took a bite and wrinkled his face, "It's a bit astringent."

"Hahaha, it's better if you eat more." Gray said with a smile: "I also found it unpalatable when I first ate it, and then I gradually got used to it."

Hearing Gray's words, Ace, who also found it unpalatable, slowed down his chewing movements. After the initial astringency, the dessert in his mouth began to return to sweetness, which was indeed very good.

When he finished eating this piece and wanted to take another piece, all the desserts on the table had already entered Gray's stomach.

The latter looked at him innocently, "What's wrong?"

"...No, it's nothing." Ace silently turned his hand to the rum on the side, grabbed the bottle and took a sip to conceal his intention just now.

But Gray obviously noticed this, and said with a smile: "You think it's delicious too, hahaha, I'm sorry, I ate too fast, and if I have a chance, go to Dressrosa and eat enough."

"it is good."

"But we'll have to wait until we get back from a trip to the paradise."

"it is good."

Just as he was talking, the auction had officially started. After ignoring the host's excited opening remarks, the first auction item was soon.

"Sign No. [-] is a mysterious treasure map."

"You may have heard of the great pirate Ollie Villewasser, who ruled the seas for 1128 years from 1142 to 14 in the Haiyuan calendar, and seized a total of 54 kilograms of gold and 60 kilograms of silver.

"Among them are hundreds of diamonds and various rare treasures. In April 1142, he teamed up with the pirate Taylor to snatch 4 billion Baileys and countless gold and silver jewels from the Mariejoia Tianlong people. He fled half a month later and was arrested and executed by the navy."

"And this treasure map is the pointer to all the wealth of Oli in the legend! But due to the age, we can't guarantee that we will really get that treasure, so..."

"The starting price of the first bid is 1000 million Baileys!"
