One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Are you going to die, Joey Boy."

"Everyone dies."

"But I don't want you to die."

"...I'm not going to die."

"Really? But you just said"

"You have to know that there are two types of death, the death of the body and the death of the soul."

"So you won't die?"

"My soul will not die, it will be like yours."

"Like me, will you become a demon?"

"My soul will become a demon, and my will will be integrated into the blood of all D. When the time goes to 800 years, there will be a storm called revolution sweeping the whole world. You must protect a devil fruit for me."

"what?"

"It's called a rubber fruit."

"Well, I promise you, the flame will protect the rubber forever."

-

"Hey, bring the planks of the bow."

"I'll count one, two, three, turn the keel!"

"Where's the blueprint? Recalculate the ratio here."

"Ace, work harder, you are the only person with flame abilities on board."

"Grey is not the same, why can he rest next to me, I want to burn wood!"

"Silly, because I'm the captain, have you ever seen an overseer at work?"

Hulk Island has changed from the dilapidated and quiet past, and it is full of vitality because of the arrival of a group of pirates.

Ace sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a wooden plank in one hand, and burning a flame in the other hand, and was sweating profusely to control the temperature of the flame and burn the wood.

In stark contrast to him was the pirate captain Gray, who was wearing a pair of fancy beach shorts, lying on a deck chair basking in the sun, drinking an iced drink, and sternly commanding everyone to work quickly.

"Ah—" With a scream, Ace looked at the board in his hand that had turned into ashes, and wailed, "This is harder than my straw hat."

"The purpose of burning cedar wood is to control the fire~" Demon took the time to comfort him: "Adam wood needs to be used for the keel and hull, and the rest needs to be used for reinforcement, so we have to use burnt cedar wood instead of wood in the cabin. Thanks for your hard work, Ace."

"I'll try my best." Ace took a piece of wood again dejectedly, "But Demon, it's too much for you to say that I'm the only person with flame abilities on board, and you're just talking nonsense with your eyes open just to prevent Gray from working."

"Hahaha, it's hard work for those who are capable, Ace, just treat it as a kind of exercise." Gray laughed loudly, "Speaking of it~ Should I go to the pub to drink, oops, I feel like I didn't do anything today."

"Don't make me beat you, Gray." Ace shook his fist angrily.

Prometheus, who was floating in the air, kindly reminded, "You can't beat him."

"Shut up, you have to come over to burn wood!" Ace grabbed Prometheus down, and the latter could not struggle, so he could only warn: "If I set fire now, you will feed me flames later!"

"I don't care, anyway, you are going to burn wood with me now!"

"Ah, you are so unreasonable!"

Gray shook his head, took his coat and walked away from the place of right and wrong.

By the shoal of Hulk Island, Oden was trying to explain the steps of breaststroke to a very small frog. He was talking very vigorously, but the frog was dumbfounded.

Zeus, who fell in mid-air, yawned boredly. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Gray in the distance, changed his laziness in an instant, got serious, and started cheering around Mi Tian.

Gray didn't intend to go there, he couldn't swim anyway, and going there was a waste of time.

Unsteadily, he wandered to the mayor's building in the city of water, avoided the patrol and surveillance of the navy, and stood in front of a door.

He poked his head in with a smile, and said to Steel Bone, "Hey, respected Admiral of the Navy, are you free now?"

"Is something wrong?"

"Will you drink?" Gray put the wine he was carrying in through the crack of the door, jingling.

Wine is the best thing, both pirates and navy think so.

"You look tired." Cyborg commented.

"Tired? Maybe I'm a little sleepy recently."

"Didn't sleep well?"

"I slept well, but I was very sleepy." Gray said, "I want to sleep here for a while."

"The movement that night has already made CP0 suspicious." Steel Bone reminded, "I can only sleep for a while."

"it is good."

It was said to sleep for a while, but Gray actually slept until night, Cyborg didn't call him, and he didn't realize the passage of time.

Returning to Hulk Island again, the shipwrights had already gone back. Tonight's vigil was Latin and Charles. Gray told Latin to go back to sleep, and he sat next to the fortune-teller on the boat.

Charles handed him a stack of cards, "Captain, do you want to test your emotional line, just randomly draw a card."

"Why so suddenly?" Gray took the card in doubt, although he said it suddenly, but his action was very straightforward. He shuffled the cards and drew another card, and looked at it himself first.

It is a double-edged sword.

"Extreme love and extreme hate." Charles interpreted this card.

"So you're saying that my future wife loves and hates me?"

"It doesn't have to be a wife, it's just that the relationship line is like this." Charles put away the cards, shrugged and smiled suddenly: "Just kidding, I didn't use my ability, so the cards are useless at all."

"You're kidding me, bastard." Gray laughed angrily. He looked at the charcoal-black wood boards not far away. They were neatly stacked, which was Ace's masterpiece today.

"I don't want to do fortune-telling." Charles said with a smile, "You know, I was kicked out of the house because of the fortune-telling of the family."

Charles raised his hand, and took off the hood that had been worn on his head, covering most of his face. Except for his pale face that had not seen the sun for a long time, the most attractive thing was the eyebrows that curled to the same side.

"The 66-day rule of the Vinsmoke family will come true even without your prophecy." Gray tilted his head, "It will be a matter of time before your family goes into decline. The only thing to be happy about is that everyone will remember that the comics with your family as the villains are not bad."

"But it seems to have stopped updating." Charles reminded that in the recent World Economic News, there is no serialization of sea fighters.

Gray frowned, "Hey, don't think this way, you must know that the World Economic News will definitely be serialized again! Sola will definitely walk on the sea with the fantastic warrior giant robot, and lead the combined robots and seagulls to defeat Germa 66 again!"

"Well, although it has nothing to do with reality, I still feel like our family is going to die."

Charles shook his head. It had been a long time since he had seen news of Germa over the North Sea. It seemed that after that short 66-day rule, Germa disappeared into the sea.
