One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Well, if you are worried about my problems after I leave, it should be fine. I did it, and they will only go to me."

"As long as you are not branded as slaves, they will not know you no matter whether you settle down on Murloc Island or return to it."

Gray wants to go to the new world alone, and his current strength cannot take care of others. "Starting a new life is something worth looking forward to."

"Aren't you going to be a pirate? I also want to be a pirate, so let's do it together." The man who asked Gray just now came out.

"I'm Perry. Although I've introduced it before, I don't think you remember it. Let me introduce it again. I used to be the 11th generation pillar of the Eight Treasures Navy of the Country of Flowers in the West Sea. Later, I was betrayed and became a slave. I was a pirate before. Now I want to follow you and offer all my loyalty and trust."

"My brother and I have nowhere to go, if you want crew members, we can too!" Two more people came out.

Many people were rescued by Gray and brought to Murloc Island, but most of them didn't want to risk their lives.

YouQi heard Gray say that even if someone came after him, they would only arrest him.

As futile as it was, no one wanted to be a slave again.

Never test human nature, it's the most fickle thing in the world.

If it was before, Gray might not understand, might feel wronged, entangled and angry, but now, he can understand the behavior of these people, and there is no fluctuation in his heart.

He thought for a while and said, "Well, if there are people who want to go to the new world with me, then stand up."

Among the nearly 200 people rescued, only twelve escaped, eleven of whom were humans, and one was the murloc who was carrying Gray.

Gray can understand that there are so few murlocs, after all, they are already hostile to humans and pirates.

And they have already returned to their hometown, and relatives are waiting for them.

As for the human beings, those who stand up seem to be capable people with certain strength and stories. Gray knows that they were also carried ashore by murlocs after they fell into the sea.

"Okay, okay, since you want to go with me." Gray put on a reluctant look, "I can't guarantee your safety, because there are still many troublesome guys in the new world."

"I don't need you to guarantee safety." Perry said, "On the contrary, I will protect you."

"Ha~ Well, this is the best." Gray said casually: "Anyway, people like you will definitely die when they enter the new world."

"I will do my best to show you!" the grumpy young man said firmly.

"Hahaha, you don't have to work so hard~" Of course, Gray was just talking, if he encountered danger in the New World, he would definitely stand in front of these people.

Now that you are a captain, you must have the consciousness of a captain.

"What's your name?" Triton looked at this guy who had no sense of crisis.

"Me? My name is Gray, Gregory D. Gray."

"D?" Triton was a little surprised, the D family, no, he should not be the promised person they were waiting for.

"Why, do you have anything to tell me?" Gray asked, tilting his head.

"No, it's nothing, your name is very good." Triton shook his head and said in a deep tone, "You should know what you will encounter when you go to the new world. Are you really not staying here for a few days? I will do my best to protect you."

"Thank you very much for your generosity, but I don't like to make others responsible for my actions." Gray said with a smile: "We will definitely live, even for those good food."

They only stayed in Fishman Island for less than half a day.

Gray was thinking about the plan to go to the new world. Originally, he would definitely be able to guarantee his survival by himself, but if he added the dozen or so people, he couldn't guarantee it.

At least five years must be spent in the new world.

"I heard from them that it would be dangerous for you to leave." Freya swam to the shore and said to Gray who was about to leave, "Why don't you stay here?"

"Because there are treasures waiting for me in the new world." Gray laughed.

".You don't have to lie to me. They all say that the New World is the most dangerous sea area, and many people will die there."

"But if I stay here, I will also bring misfortune to this place. Humans are very dangerous animals. Whether they are good or evil, you were almost captured just now. Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm very scared," Freya shuddered involuntarily when thinking of the previous experience, and asked Gray again, "Aren't you afraid?"

Her eyes were the same blue-green color as her hair, clear and clean, full of worry.

Gray froze for a moment, it was the first time someone asked him such a question, really the first time.

He has experienced too many things, and the people he meets seem to trust his ability, think that he is reliable and omnipotent, but no one asks him if he is afraid.

"Your name is Freya, right?" He pointed his little finger at the beautiful mermaid in the sea, and said with a smile, "Make a promise, I will definitely live, and I will come back when I become a very powerful pirate in the future."

Freya blinked and stretched out her hand, "You must come back."

"Well, the agreement must be fulfilled. By then... I will send a gift to Murloc Island."

After finishing speaking, Gray stood up, "Please His Majesty the King to send us away."

With the help of the Dragon King Kingdom, they set sail for the new world. What awaited them was bound to be bloody, but after all these hardships, the sky would be clear.

Freya did not send them away. For the mermaids, there are still pirate activities in the place guarded by the Neptune Army, and other places are even more dangerous.

She stared blankly at the sky, hoping to see the shadow of a ship outside the double bubble.

After a long time, my friend patted her on the shoulder, "Are you leaving, Freya? You have been here for a long time."

"Why can't I see their boat?" Freya felt regretful.

"...Maybe on Mermaid Beach, you just can't see the boat going to the new world." The friend shook the tail of the fish and comforted him: "Don't think about it. I heard that many pirates went to the new world and came back soon. Maybe you will see him again soon."

What she didn't say is that there are more pirates who died after going to the new world. She doesn't feel sad for these pirates. The number of their compatriots who died tragically under the hands of humans should be similar to these pirates.

"No, if it was him, he would definitely gain a firm foothold in the new world." Freya shook her head and said firmly.

It only took a few minutes for her to get along with Gray, and she hid aside and listened to their conversation quietly more often.

Freya just felt that this person was different.

"I hope you can remember that he is a pirate." The friend said worriedly: "Pirates are all bad guys, even if he saved our compatriots."

"I know that pirates are bad people." Freya rubbed her little finger and said with a smile, "Let's go back."

"Well hope you remember that."

"Of course, pirates are bad guys."

But he is different.
