One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"You..." She defensively clenched her fists to block, looked at the samurai sword on the ground, and silently calculated how to get the weapon back.

At this moment, Oden, who was staring at this place, suddenly let out a "huh" and asked curiously, "Woman, are you from Wano Country? Ah~ It's been a long time since I saw Wano Country's clothes."

If Mita hadn't spoken, everyone wouldn't have cared about the pink kimono that the woman was wearing, which had a strong Wano country style.

The woman pursed her lips tightly, and did not respond to Oden's question. After that, Gray suddenly raised his foot, kicked up the samurai sword that fell by his foot, and easily caught the spinning and falling hilt.

Immediately afterwards, he threw the knife directly to Oden, who was a little caught off guard, but still caught the knife firmly, blinking innocently, "Reggie, why did you leave the knife?"

"Your Wano Country's family affairs will naturally be settled by Wano Country." Gray laughed, "I will leave this woman to you. I have other things to do."

He walked up to Captain Abigail with a smile, and asked, "Is this woman the treasure you said could buy all of your lives?"

The surrounding air was a little stagnant because of his approach, and Abigail's whole body trembled uncontrollably, moving back instinctively.

He didn't dare to meet the eyes of the man in front of him, even though the man was smiling and looked easy to approach.

There was panic in Abigail's eyes, he kept shaking his head, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, making him look extraordinarily embarrassed at the moment.

"No, no! My lord, listen to my explanation. This woman is not mine at all. We just saw her floating in the sea and thought she was pretty, so we rescued her casually. Really! I really didn't know that she would hide in the cabin, and, and the treasure I'm talking about is not this woman, it is, it is the four mermaids locked in the innermost cabin!"

Mermaid? !As soon as Teutonic heard this, he immediately ran towards the cabin.

At the same time, after hearing what Abigail blurted out, the woman's wariness of Oden and the others from the beginning became completely unbelievable, and she stared at Abigail closely.

She fell into the water and was rescued. Although this group of people were pirates, they were usually very polite to her. She thought she had met a good person, and this time maybe they could really get what they wanted.

When the ship was in danger, she happened to be in the cabin and wanted to repay her kindness, so she took the risk to hide behind the ship ladder, ambush and threatened Gray, and wanted to rescue the pirates who had done her a great favor.

The result turned out to be that she was self-indulgent. These people didn't want to save her at all, but wanted to sell her because of her value.

The woman seemed to have lost her strength suddenly, and she knelt down on the ground, "Why is this?"

Yu Tian said angrily: "How can you treat a woman like this!"

"That's right, don't you know that there aren't even women on other people's boats?" Alder was also furious.

"Hey, hey, isn't she a woman?" Olga asked with her hands on her hips.

Alder turned his head to look at her for a while, then turned back again, this time even more firmly, "We don't have a single woman on board!"

"You are so rude!" Olga has lived for more than 150 years. Although she usually behaves like a child, she still has a clear understanding of gender. Alder's rudeness made her angrily open her mouth and bite the back of the latter's hand.

After a lot of flirting, Alder went to look for Colin with his hands in his hands, and Colin replied indifferently: "This is a small injury, recover by yourself."

In the deepest room of the cabin, four mermaids were crowded together with their arms tied behind their backs and their mouths sealed.

Hearing the movement from above the deck, a slightly smaller mermaid shrank back to her sister in fright, whimpering, tears uncontrollably slid down her cheeks, and finally fell to the ground, turning into crystal aquamarines.

There was no porthole in the dark room, only a flickering light appeared under the crack of the door. The frequency was like the beating of flames. The footsteps of several people came hurriedly. Soon, the door opened with a bang, and the mermaid trembled.

With a flame in his hand to illuminate, Ace scanned the room, and finally looked at the four mermaids who were tied together.

They looked miserable, with disheveled hair and dirt on their faces and bodies. Fortunately, no wounds were seen on the exposed skin—in order to ensure a good price in the future, the pirates did not abuse them.

Seeing a few men walk in, the four mermaids whimpered in panic. They didn't know what was waiting for them next, and the fear of the unknown made people close their eyes tightly.

But soon, there was a pain in his mouth, the sealing tape was torn off, and someone deliberately lowered his gentle voice, "It's okay, I'm a murloc, and I won't hurt you."

The mermaid timidly opened her eyes, and under the light of the flames, she saw clearly the appearance of the person who came. The leader was indeed a murloc, and she seemed to have seen it somewhere.

The long memory was touched, and the mermaid murmured, "Are you Teutonic?"

Teuton was taken aback, "Yes, you are?"

He didn't find the fragment of the mermaid from his memory, but the other party clearly called out his name.

"You are really a Teutonic!" The light blue-green long-haired mermaid became excited. She didn't drink much water recently, and her voice was hoarse from crying. Every time she spoke, she would feel the burning pain. "Ge, Gray, where is Lord Gray? Oh, I am Freya."

"Don't worry, the captain is on the deck to deal with the pirates." Teuton signaled the mermaid not to worry, Freya?Freya?
It seems that five years ago in Fishman Island, there was indeed a mermaid with this name.

Ace untied the ropes that bound the other mermaids, and asked Teuton, "Is this someone you know?"

"Well, it's a friend."

"It seems to be the little mermaid from Fishman Island," Latin said. "At that time, I was very impressed. I always hid behind other mermaids to watch their captain, but I didn't expect to stand in front of others now."

When they carried the mermaid out of the cabin, the group of pirates had disappeared, replaced by a faint burnt smell floating in the air, only Gray was left on the deck, and everyone else returned to the Blacks.

Hearing the voice in the cabin, Gray turned his head and raised a smile, "Take all the mermaids."

The voice stopped in summer, and Gray's smile froze on his face, "Flya?!!"

He looked at the mermaid in Teuton's arms in disbelief, and walked over almost subconsciously.

The moment the mermaid saw Gray, she burst into tears, "Master Gray!"

"Yes, I'm here." Gray took Freya from Teuton's hand, and let her sit on his arm like a child, and gently rubbed the beautiful long blue-green hair with the other hand, "Okay, there is no danger anymore, don't be afraid."
