One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Yo Ho Ho Ho Ho~" Wearing a black tuxedo and wearing a black top hat on top of his exploding head, the skeleton stood on the side of the dilapidated three-masted sailing ship, with a black cane hooked around his left forearm, and his right hand raised his hat. He politely greeted the busy sailors on the warship, "Good morning everyone~ the weather today is also very good."

How's the weather today?

The navy looked around at the sea area still surrounded by dense fog, but they couldn't see where the weather was good.

And
The navy who was the first to react pointed at Brook in horror, "The skeleton, the skeleton is talking!"

"Skeleton?!" Brook gasped, looking around in panic, "Where is it, where is the skeleton?"

"Isn't it you!" All the navy roared in unison.

"Ah, it turned out to be me." Brook breathed a sigh of relief, remembering the fact that he was a skeleton now. As soon as he entered the captain's cabin yesterday, he returned to his own body, and his body, which had become a skeleton, miraculously moved.

It was said to be a night watch, but Gray, who had slept on the watchtower, heard the noise from the navy, rubbed his eyes and stood up. When he saw the skeleton, his eyes lit up for a moment.

"Brothers, look what I saw!" Gray raised his hand, and everyone who was sleeping soundly in the cabin because of last night's banquet felt the surrounding temperature rise instantly.

Originally, the temperature in the Terrible Delta was low, especially in the middle of the night, and the temperature was even colder. Everyone chose to cover their beds with quilts, but now, somehow, it was like being in an oven, and the hot people were about to suffocate.

Everyone was awakened by the heat from their deep sleep, and they saw a ball of black fire burning beside them in a daze. It was just such a small ball that it was about to take away all the oxygen in the surroundings.

Domineering and unreasonable, exactly like its owner.

Everyone thought that something was going on outside, and rushed out in a hurry.

"Captain, are you alright!"

"An enemy attack?"

The culprit stood on the observation deck and looked down, with a bright smile on his face, "I just want you" glanced around, and frowned slightly, "Where's that bastard Ace?"

"I'm not up yet."

"No way, you haven't woken up from the heat, so you won't be dizzy from the heat?"

"You are stupid, that kid is also capable of flames, and the temperature has no effect on him."

Ace, whose body has long been accustomed to the high temperature, slept soundly, without a quilt, without even taking off his clothes, just sleeping on the hammock with his arms open.

The black flame by his side swayed, and then threw itself on his face.

"Wow!" Ace woke up suddenly, his movements were too large, and he fell off the hammock. Now, he woke up instantly.

He stretched out his hand to pull down the flame, and the white flame swallowed the black flame.

"Haha~" Ace yawned big and walked out of the cabin, some maverick strands of curly black hair blew up behind him, "What happened?"

"Something has happened to Ace." Gray's expression was solemn, with a sense of oppression about to come, and the others behind him also had serious faces.

Ace immediately put away his lazy state, thinking that something serious happened, "What's the matter, are you injured or someone else?"

"Ace!" Gray stepped forward, put his hands on Ace's shoulders, stared at him very seriously, and said, "Staying in bed will make you stupid!"

"Huh?" Ace's nervousness at the beginning turned into question marks all over his head, what and what, "You just said this with a serious face?"

Gray was heartbroken, "You are going to be stupid, isn't it serious enough?"

"Hurry up, Colin, hurry up and prescribe Ace's medicine."

"Ace can't be stupid, I don't want to marry a fool in the future."

"Doctor, save the child quickly."

Everyone was chattering, with worries and suppressed smiles written on their faces, and the crew members who should cooperate with the captain's performance did their best to perform.

Ace took a deep breath, clenched his fist at Gray with a hippie smile, and gritted his teeth angrily, "Grey, you're kidding me again."

"What do you call playing, I'm just teasing you~" Gray shook his head, "Who made you believe it every time?"

"I will never be fooled again in the future!"

"Hahaha, it's nothing more than three things, Ace."

"You have said this sentence countless times!"

"Yes, yes, but who told you to believe it every time~"

Ace was angry and aggrieved, "I don't believe who you believe."

In this world, his father, grandfather, and the people he used to know are all young again. He said that he knew him, but he was unilateral, and he said he didn't know them. These people will be his closest people in the future.

He can trust Garp, but without the feelings of grandpa and grandson, they are just the relationship between the navy and the pirates.

And Dad, who is still standing on the opposite side of them, even if he had a drink in Chambord before, Ace can clearly feel Dad's vigilance towards him.

Gray is different from them. Ace couldn't confirm that he had been with him all his life before, because he didn't know it himself.

But coming to the past, he can really feel 100% kindness from Gray.

From the very first meeting, from the fried rice that Gray handed him in the kitchen, Gray was showing kindness to him.

He could understand why the other party had to hide it from the beginning, because if he said that I came back from the future like you, and I still know you, such behavior would definitely be considered a fool, and Ace would immediately be full of vigilance against this ship.

Gray really did what he could, the way Ace was most comfortable accepting it.

Ace really trusted the person in front of him 100%.

Who would have thought that Ace would say that suddenly, Gray scratched his head, looked around uncomfortably, and finally apologized sincerely, "Okay, I was wrong, I will never tease you again, because it's really fun, poof. Ace, it's only three things, this is the first time hahahahahaha."

Well, Gray is always stubborn, and he can't lose the fun in his life, and teasing Ace is one of the joys of life.

"I thought the captain would really realize his mistake."

"What are you thinking, the captain is such a shameless person."

"But it's really fun~ With Ace here, we don't have to be deceived."

Almost all the veterans on the ship were deceived by Gray. This guy could always pretend to be serious and talk nonsense, and because everyone trusted him so much, he never thought about the possibility of being deceived.

In the final analysis, everyone's trust in Gray was too high, which caused this guy to try repeatedly, but no one was willing to teach him a lesson.

"Stop making trouble, captain, what are you going to do when you let us wake up early in the morning?" Perry played the role of deputy captain at the right time-stopping the captain's misconduct when necessary.

Gray remembered his original purpose, and immediately said: "I want you to see the skeleton."
