One Piece: The Eternal Flame

A few seconds later, Bucky was also brought on board, and the treasure was taken back by the man at the same time.

"You didn't even want to let us go."

Shanks frowned, stuffed food into his mouth, and condemned vaguely: "It's too much, Captain Roger won't know people like you!"

"Give me back my money!" Bucky yelled angrily with a big bag on his head and stuffed his mouth full of food.

The food was not as good as the chefs of the Pirates, but Shanks and Bucky, the two children who had been hungry for a long time, still ate with relish.

"This is the reward for taking you to Roger." Reg sat opposite them, watching the two wolfing down with a smile.

"Want to drink thick soup?" Al stood in front of the pot with his back to the three of them.

"Drink!" Shanks and Bucky raised their hands at the same time.

"I didn't ask you."

The disappointment of the two people was visible to the naked eye, "Oh"

"Hahahahaha, let's do a little, F. Al, well, I can do it too."

"You'd better leave the kitchen alone."

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry, thank you for your hard work."

Soon, I don't know what kind of fire was used, but after a while, the miso soup was also served on the table.

Al sat in the empty seat next to Reg and joined in the meal.

"I'll take you to Roger after dinner."

"Are you sure you want to take us to Captain Roger?" Shanks still didn't quite believe the two.

Although the boat had already set sail and there was no turning back, there were only two people on board, and no one outside was controlling the direction. They were just walking blindly following the sea breeze.

"We will definitely find it if we say we want to find it." Reg raised a hand, "I want to find the ship of the Roger Pirates."

"What are you doing?"

"Make a wish."

"Ha, will this really work?"

"Of course, I made a wish to bring two handymen on board, so why don't you just come?"

"Handyman?" Shanks blinked.

"Yeah, after mopping the floor, waxing, washing dishes and clothes, you're going to start doing it~"

Bucky yelled, "Impossible! Let us go for nothing"

"How about giving each of you a gem every day?"

"Let's clean it up, it's perfectly fine, how can you eat and drink for nothing!" Bucky immediately changed his words, for his own gems.

At that time, Shanks' salary will also be fooled, and he will have two gems every day.

"Bucky." Shanks sighed, but there is no other way now, they have already boarded the thief ship, and they can only be rescued by Captain Roger.

Just a few days later, Shanks and Bucky worked hard—maybe only Shanks worked hard, and Bucky always had a reason to let Shanks do the work.

Fortunately, this sloop is not big, so it is still very easy to do the work.

Shanks put the mop away, stood up and thumped his waist, then walked to a pergola set up on the deck, "Well, today's work is also done."

"Huh~" Reg fell asleep without any response.

On another chair, Al, who was reading a newspaper, put down the newspaper, "Rest when you're done."

He watched Shanks rarely wrinkle his face, this kid has always been quite lively and cheerful.

"What's the matter?" Al asked.

"Yesterday Reg agreed with me that he would show me the sword after finishing work today." Shanks looked at Reg's western sword on the table.

His seized trophy was broken in several places during the battle in the tavern a few days ago. It was an ordinary blade, and it was not bad to be able to accompany Shanks for so long.

"That's right." Al looked at Reg, and kicked him without warning the next moment.

The latter was directly kicked off the chair, and looked around with a puzzled face, "Ah, what's wrong?"

Shanks stood in front of Reg, aggrieved, "I finished my work, you said you would show me the sword."

"Oh~ so you kicked me?"

"Huh?" Shanks looked at Al, who covered his face with a newspaper, completely cutting off visual contact.

"Well, it's nothing wrong." Reg saw Shanks' gaze, and immediately knew who the culprit was. "If you want to watch it, you can just pull it out and play."

"Really!" Shanks' eyes lit up, his smile bright and excited.

He solemnly took the western sword from Reg with both hands, and then drew out a sharp blade with the hilt in his hand.

This is indeed a rare and good sword. The moment it is pulled out, there is a clear and pleasant sword sound, and the sword body reflects the amazement in Shanks' eyes.

It seems that even the air can be cut.

"Wow~" The red-haired kid couldn't put it down, and he seemed to be able to see the love overflowing from his body, "Regg, what's his name?"

"The legendary dragon-slaying magic sword that dominates the land and the sky."

"what?"

"Well, you can call it a Griffin too."

"Well, that's better than Griffin."

"You boy, you are so rude." Reg was so angry that he raised his hand and pressed Shanks' head, rubbing the latter's soft red hair into a chicken coop.

After kneading, he asked, "Where's the boy with blue hair?"

"Of course, my uncle is diligently cleaning the cabin!" Bucky opened the door of the cabin, holding a mop and a bucket, as if he was working so hard.

In fact, he just went to do something else in the cabin.

He was regarded as a hard worker on the ship, but he was not wronged in any way.

The two even had separate rooms to live in, and Shanks also found a whole set of "Sora the Sea Warrior" from under the table in his room.

Bucky naturally also found something very good in his room, but compared to Shanks who was willing to share, he secretly hid the things by himself.

That night, Shanks recalled the sword during the day in the hammock, but there was a slight knock on the door.

"Hey, Shanks!" Bucky crawled in after opening the door, as if trying to lower the volume he caused.

Shanks immediately turned over and got out of bed, and also lowered his voice, "What's the matter Bucky?"

"Look what I found?" Bucky took out from his arms what he found sneakily in the cabin during the day.

Shanks leaned over and saw a photo in Bucky's hand under the silvery moonlight.

"Oh! Is it Uncle Ace?" Shanks opened his mouth wide, and the photo was a group photo of two men.

It seems to be on a big tree with its back to the moon.

One of them is Ace, the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates, and occasionally comes to the ship of the Roger Pirates.

I don't know what is the relationship with Captain Roger and Aunt Lu Jiu, but I feel very close to Aunt Lu Jiu, but I love and hate Captain Roger.

Shanks and Bucky both like him.

And the other person was the black-haired man on the boat, he seemed to have a good relationship, so he said he knew Captain Roger.
"You're not lying to us." Shanks rubbed his chin, "Since he's Uncle Ace's friend, it should be credible."

"I don't know, I only found this one." Bucky was a little frustrated, "There must be more wealth in their room, no, information!"

"What did you say about money?"

"It's information, don't always think about treasure, you idiot Shanks!"

"Huh? Didn't you say it first? I think you found this photo when you were looking for treasure!"

The two started arguing when they disagreed, completely forgetting that it was late at night and they needed to keep their voices down.

The door was violently opened, and Reg appeared at the door shirtless, with a ferocious smile and clenched fists.

"You guys want to go out to exercise because you don't sleep at night?"

-

"120 eight, 120 nine, four hundred and seven"

On the silent sea in the middle of the night, the counting of two children doing push-ups kept coming and going.

Reg was lying on the recliner with his legs crossed, holding the photo in his hand and kept inciting, with a bad tone, "You dare to steal from me, who did it?"

"Shanks did it!" Bucky dumped the blame on Shanks without the slightest hesitation.

The latter was taken aback for a moment, and then denied it: "It's not me, obviously you took it!"

"Ha, dare you say you haven't seen this picture?"

"Bucky, you are too much!"

"Dare to say that my uncle is too much, you were very excited when you watched it."

The unfinished fight in the cabin was restarted on the deck.

The two rolled into a ball, you punched me, I kicked you, Reg regretted that he didn't bring some wine from the kitchen.

"Can't tell the winner? You two idiots, why are you fighting so stupidly?"

Reg wished he could get involved too, but at this age, he is a reliable adult, so of course he needs to be more mature and stable.

"Shanks, why did you stagger that punch just now! Bucky, that kick can be dodged by an idiot!"

"Whoever wins this game tonight, I will give him a huge gift!"

'Boom', 'bang', 'crack'——

Loud noises came from the deck.

Alfred took a deep breath and opened his eyes, gritting his teeth and lifted the quilt.

"What's the noise!"

After the sound of three heavy objects falling into the water, only Shanks still showed his head, and the remaining two capable users had already sunk into the sea.

"Bucky!" Shanks plunged headlong into the sea, looking for his companion who had been fighting hard just now.

There was a sea current surging beside him, and a white figure swam deeper into the bottom of the sea.

Not long after, he brought the capable person to the surface of the sea.

"Grey, cough up the sea water."

"Cough, why, cough cough... even kicked me down." Gray felt aggrieved.

This kind of grievance was not eliminated until he sat on the deck and reflected on his mistakes with Shanks and Bucky.

"What are you arguing about so late? Who's taking the lead?" Alfred's posture was exactly the same as Gray's before, but with a stronger momentum and a worse complexion.

Shanks and Bucky raised their fingers to Gray, who immediately frowned, "Hey! It's obvious that you two stole my things disobediently."

When it comes to that photo, the two kids have a stomach full of questions to ask.

"Regg, do you really know Uncle Ace?" Shanks' hair was still wet, and so was Bucky.

"Oh, I forgot to dry you both." Gray scratched his head, "If you catch a cold, we don't have a doctor."

After he finished speaking, both Shanks and Bucky felt the heat on their bodies, and the water vapor disappeared instantly.

"Ah, you're also a Devil Fruit user." Shanks remembered that Gray couldn't swim either, "You haven't answered my question just now."

"You said Ace, of course I know him." Gray rubbed his head, "I watched that boy Ace grow up."

"Looking grown up?"

"Yeah, yeah, from the moment he just cried, he's so wrinkled and ugly."

"But you look so young, exactly the same as in the photo."

"Because I'm not human, haven't you heard of wizards who are immortal?"

"." Shanks and Bucky thought of the similarly young face in the photo, and of Uncle Ace who was also young in the photo but was almost 40 years old in reality, and they immediately felt respect.

"I'm sorry, it was our fault before, Mr. Wizard."

The children really believed that Gray was an immortal wizard.

"Idiots." Alfred pinched the bridge of his nose, got up and walked towards the cabin, his voice was cold, "If you dare to speak louder, you will be killed."

"Good night."

After he left, Gray spread his hands indifferently, "That guy always likes to say harsh words, I'm already immune."

Afterwards, he changed his vicious expression again, "What are you still doing in a daze, today's push-ups are not over yet."

"I forgot how many I made before." Shanks became distressed.

And Bucky even said: "What if we make more noise?"

"Well." Gray thought for a while, and felt that what Bucky said made sense, "Okay, since there is a voice, let's make it up tomorrow morning."

It's not that he's afraid of Alfred, it's just that he thinks it's bad to do this late at night and disturb the other pirates.

"Hey, can't we not do it?"

"Don't think about being lazy, don't you do this at Roger's?"

"Senior Rayleigh will teach me swordsmanship and arrogance." Shanks looked at Gray's empty waist.

The other party didn't bring a sword out tonight, so I don't know if this person's swordsmanship is good or not.

If you think about it, you have to ask, Shanks is a very direct child.

"Regg, your swordsmanship is better than Captain Roger's, who is better?"

Gray didn't even think about it, "Of course it's me."

"Impossible! Captain Roger is the strongest!"

"Yes, my uncle has never seen the captain lose!"

"Ha, you can ask Roger." Gray shrugged, showing no signs of deceit.

Shanks stared at him for a while, before speaking again, "Will you teach me swordsmanship during this time?"

"Hey? Shanks, what are you talking about?" Bucky approached Shanks and condemned, "You actually want to betray Senior Rayleigh and Captain Roger."

Shanks blushed, "This is not betrayal! I just want to become stronger and help the captain share some things."

"." Bucky was silent for a long time, finally made up his mind, and said to Gray: "I want to learn too, I can't be pulled down by Shanks, an idiot!"

"The premise of learning is that I have to agree to teach, why do you act like I have already agreed?"

Gray sighed, "I want to send you back, but also provide food and drink, and pay back wages for work, and now I want to teach you."

"I picked you two as hard laborers. It seems like I picked up two ancestors. Whose family raised three ancestors on the boat?"
