One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"The pirates don't want to cause trouble at this time, so they won't threaten civilians or the rule of the world government at all. Moreover, the New World is not under the jurisdiction of the navy. It is very difficult to transfer troops from Marin Vandor. They rarely do such thankless things."

"Then why did they transfer troops this time?" Oden was a little dazed when he heard that, after all, what Gray said was contradicted by what the navy did this time.

"Remember when we burned an island? The captain left the flag there." Perry continued, "The destruction of a prosperous island, especially the newspaper reports, is well known. If the navy does not act, the civilians will feel that they are not doing anything."

"They should have come to us first, because judging from the time when Warwick left the island, if the navy had learned the news through the pirate hunters, there would be absolutely no way to mobilize such a large number of warships in a short period of time."

"So, they originally wanted to attack us, but they just happened to meet the invitation of the Pirate Auction and the Pirate Hunter, so they changed their strategy."

"What strategy?" Oden was like a curious baby, always asking about everything.

Perry sighed, "Change from arresting us to arresting all the pirates on the island. Look at us, only a dozen or so pirates escaped this time, and all the rest were buried there, and the navy should have a backup plan to prevent the pirates from escaping. In this way, there are only a dozen or so escaped pirates."

"Let's not talk about our five big pirate groups. There are still many pirate groups that did not participate in the auction. The pirates who escaped by chance have no strength to defend their own territory, so the number of pirate groups will shrink again. We have no time to take into account the actions of the navy. In this way, the navy can rely on the G1 branch of the new world to enter the new world."

"It's so complicated, but I seem to understand it." Oden stroked his chin with a troubled expression on his face, "In short, it must be an incredible strategy!"

"Oh, that's right." Perry said dryly.

Colin handed him a bottle of rum at the right time, then looked at Gray and said, "Captain, everyone's injuries have been treated, where are you injured?"

Colin treated everyone's wounds just now, while Gray was grabbed by the collar by Teresi at that time, so he hasn't received any treatment so far.

After fighting Steel Bone for so long, it's impossible to not get hurt at all.

"That's troublesome for you. It really hurts when you mention it like this." Gray grinned and took off his shirt.

All of a sudden, the unreasonably indented chest was exposed, and the bruises on it looked very scary.

The injury this time should be left when the steel bone threw him into the sea.

Although every breath made him feel unbearable pain, Gray had been acting as usual before, and everyone thought that his injury was not serious.

But how could it not be heavy? The steel bone is the current admiral of the navy, no matter how talented Gray is, his age is still there.

It's just that all the attacks of the steel bones directly attack the inside of the body, so from the outside, nothing can be seen at all.

"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Ace's teeth were itching in anger. If Colin didn't mention it, would it be possible for Gray to carry it by himself, as he looked like he was about to fall asleep?

And he just endured the pain to answer such a long list of questions.

"Haha." Gray's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he was still smiling heartlessly, "If I show a little weakness, Cyborg won't be able to let us go so easily."

Gray was right. If he showed a little weakness, the navy would take advantage of the victory and pursue them. The opponent did not come to chase them purely because Gray showed that he was unscathed.

Judging from the situation at the time, the pursuit was undoubtedly thankless.

"Besides, there is no need to care about this injury so much. Don't worry, if it is really a battle of life and death, I will definitely win."

Gray clapped his hands, indicating that the topic would stop there.

"Anyway, let's go to Fishman Island. The navy doesn't have the strength to hunt us down for now."

After Gray's injury was healed, everyone set sail and headed for the fishman island.

And a few days later, everyone saw the newspaper published by the Navy News Department about the war from the newspaper delivery gull.

The naval fleet led by Steel Bone wiped out 34 pirate regiments in the New World Beehive Island, captured 254 pirates alive, and sent them to Advance City immediately. The Navy will also establish a new branch in the New World to ensure the safety of civilians and defend the justice of the Navy.

Leaving aside these official clichés, the only strange thing is that the World Economic News newspaper has not reported this matter for a long time, but only reported the naval battle between the Red and Black Pirates and the Avenger Pirates.

In the end, the victory of the Red and Black Pirates ended. Cotton Jack's head was cut off and hung on the bow of the Red and Black Pirates for public display.

Perry was pretty sure he had seen the boat that belonged to a newspaper reporter.

He told Gray about this, and the latter thought for a while before laughing, "That guy Sam did it."

"Are you sure?"

"Don't forget, he is the Black Prince, a former nobleman." Gray shook the wine bottle in his hand, "It is understandable to do anything in order to squeeze back into the noble circle, and the reason why he left the nobleman was also very strange."

"If I remember correctly, he and Annie were married before, but Annie became a pirate in order to escape marriage freely, and he also flaunted some bullshit like shame and humiliation and became a pirate."

"In fact, Sam is not such an impulsive person. I even suspect that he is a mole inserted by the world government in the pirates. If it were me, I would take these photos to threaten the world government hahaha, how interesting it is."

"I'm already a pirate, how could I go back." Perry shook his head, looking at Gray's leisurely look, this matter should have little to do with them, if that's the case, then don't worry about it.

"Wow~ Is this the coated ship?" Standing on the coated deck is like stepping on a ball of cotton, the feet are soft and there is no point of support.

This is the coating of the ship. A layer of bubble film with colorful colors under the sun wraps the whole ship, like an unopened gift box.

Mi Tian once again showed the attributes of a nautical novice, running over to try everything he encounters. He is wearing wooden clogs and stepping on the bubbles, which is hard to let people feel at ease.

"Don't break it, if it breaks, we will be in danger." Teuton seemed more nervous than anyone else.

Part of the reason why their pirates are always wandering in the new world is that it is too dangerous to go to Fishman Island. A ship full of capable people is committing suicide!
"Hahaha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Gray patted his arm, urging everyone to set sail quickly, "Let's go to Fishman Island."

Turn on the switch at the bottom of the ship, and the air stored in another bubble will swarm into the bubble film that wraps the hull, and soon, the bubbles under the feet will inflate until the entire ship is completely wrapped.

"Interesting, isn't it?" Ace looked at Oden with a smile.

The eyes of the latter have turned into stars, and he exclaimed, "It's the bubble roof~ Do you want to rely on it to reach the bottom of the sea?"

"That's right." Demon nodded and coughed lightly: "The coating boat has the effect of reducing various pressures. It is floating on the sea now because the suspension bag has not been removed."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Blakes wobbled and began to sink.

Demon looked helplessly at Teutonic who climbed back to the deck, and changed his words: "Now it's like removing the suspension bag."

"Then do you still have to raise the sails in the sea?" Oden asked.

"Sailing in the sea means that the current replaces the wind to propel the boat forward. There is a special current to go to Fishman Island. If we can't take advantage of it, we will all be buried in the bottom of the sea!" Alder deliberately threatened him.

But Mitian was not frightened at all. Instead, he eagerly lay down on the side of the ship, watching the sea gradually disappearing from the side of the ship, and said excitedly, "I'm really looking forward to it. What does the bottom of the sea look like?"
