One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"Mama~mama~ I can finally have a big meal." Accompanied by the host's introduction, a young girl who seemed to be impatiently walked to the challenge stage. The reason why she said she looked like a child was that she was taller than the average person, like a little giant.

"Lingling, eat more if you like." The complete opposite of this little giant is a short man who has been with her all the time, like her parent, but he is too short, which makes him look ridiculous.

"BIG MOM?" Ace looked in disbelief at Lingling, who was about to eat on the stage but was stopped by the referee. Although she had seen it once before in the reward order, Ace still found it unbelievable to actually face her.

Gray seemed much calmer, and said seriously, "It looks like a difficult battle, but the champion must be mine!"

Gray's fighting spirit was burning fiercely.

Ace felt hot, turned his head to look over, and found that Gray's whole body was wrapped in a ball of black fire at this moment.

"Hey, hey, Gray, you'd better put out the fire!" He said helplessly, "If you don't know, you might think it's some kind of competition. We didn't come here just to eat dessert."

"No, we are here to win!" Even so, Gray extinguished the flames, went directly to the challenge platform and sat down, looking at Lingling from a distance.

Once the two guys with a sweet tooth looked at each other, there was bloody hostility.

Ace sat next to Gray, and from the view from here, he could see Long Bread leaving quickly and Gary chasing after him.

Gray's black flame is too conspicuous, enough to reveal his identity, and the other party is a member of the Rocks Pirates.

But for Lingling, whose mind is full of desserts, these have become things she doesn't care about.

"Game start!"

The waiter pushed ten contestants onto the dining cart at the same time, and it was filled with all kinds of desserts. Lingling grabbed two desserts with both hands at the same time, and threw the desserts into her open mouth like pouring water, "Wow~delicious~"

This move made the audience amazed and applauded in unison.

Gray snorted coldly, and while eating, he did not forget to urge Ace next to him, "Eat quickly, Ace, we must not lose this game!"

"Just pretend I didn't participate in the competition." Ace said while eating.

Gray wanted to say something, but saw Ace's head sinking, and his whole face smashed into the cake in front of him.

The host thought something unexpected happened to him, so he leaned over to shoot him with a worried face, "This contestant, this contestant, are you alright?"

"He's fine, he's asleep."

"Sleep, fell asleep?" Not only the host was incredulous, but even the audience was disappointed. They thought there was something exciting to watch, but they just fell asleep.

Gray was very disappointed with Ace's performance. He didn't go to bed early and didn't go to bed late, but he just wanted to sleep during the game.

This is a game about dignity, how can you lose!

He continued to compete with Lingling. When a contestant couldn't resist, Ace finally pulled his head out of the cream, and subconsciously grabbed the clothes of the person next to him to wipe the cream off his face.

The audience was in an uproar, and then he remembered that he seemed to be still in the game, and he didn't know how far it had progressed, whether Gray won or BIG Mom won.

"Grey, uh." Ace raised his head, and immediately withdrew his hand. Gray's new black clothes were stained with a large piece of cream. Knowing that he was wrong, Ace immediately raised a smile and changed the subject, "What is the comparison now?"

Gray didn't pay much attention to his clothes. He put all his energy on his opponent now, swallowed a piece of cake and said, "Work hard and we should be able to catch up."

"Ah?" Ace was stunned, looking at the four dining carts piled up on Lingling's side, and saw that half of the second dining cart next to Gray was left uneaten. For some reason, Gray, who was so persistent, made him feel both funny and sad.

"I think there is such a gap, no matter how hard you try, you can't match it." He persuaded: "You came here just to eat dessert, just eat enough."

"Damn it, I hate her." Gray slumped, seeing Lingling still eating at the same frequency as before. Although he was not reconciled, he knew in his heart that the final winner was Charlotte Lingling.

Gray abstained, and Ace also abstained. The two returned to their companions, only to find that Gary, who was chasing the loaf, still hadn't returned.

"Look for it, Long Bread should be looking for his companions, let's vomit." Before finishing his sentence, Gray vomited beside a big tree.

"So why do you have to work so hard?"

"Captain, if you feel uncomfortable, let's go to Colin and the others."

"It's okay, it's much more comfortable to spit out." Gray took a bottle of rum and finally felt better after rinsing his mouth. "Let's go and find Gary."

Gary did encounter a situation. He stood in the center of an encirclement, looking coldly at the long bread hiding behind a tall man.

The latter was almost captured by Gary, if a few people stopped in front of Long Bread halfway.

"Newgate, this is the man from Black Fireworks, catch him!" Long Bread said eagerly, "Lingling and I met the man from Black Fireworks, and their captain Gray is also on the Chambord Islands. I can't mistake that black flame."

"No, Long Bread, take a good look at who I am." Gary stretched out his hands to cover his face, and when he put them down again, his face had turned into the face of Hei Tan Mu Chan, and his voice was exactly the same, "We met the people from Black Firework on Fishman Island, and I took the opportunity to replace one of them."

"Heitan?" Long Bread frowned, and the aching wound on his body reminded him not to trust the other party's words easily.

Edward Newgate asked, "Where's Heitan Chanwan? Shouldn't you be together?"

"Yes, you have never been separated, why is there only you now, without him."

"Idiot, I am lurking in their pirate group, how could I still have Chan Wan with me?" Gary said, "I have asked Chan Wan to come to Shampoo to find you first, haven't you seen him?"

Long Bread took Lingling to the dessert competition, and never returned to the temporary stronghold in Chambord. He looked at Newgate and asked the man who had been drinking in the tavern for advice.

Edward Newgate had seen Heitan Chanwan before. He came to the tavern and told them the story, which was similar to Heitan Muchan's story. He also tested it, and Heitanchanwan did have the ability of barrier.

"If I don't show up, you will probably take the loaf away," Newgate said.

Gary responded calmly, "Newgate, you have to figure it out. Longbread attacked me first. At that time, if I didn't follow up, other black firework guys would come. Do you want to meet your companions or enemies?"

Faced with Gary's questioning, Long Bread was speechless. It was indeed he who made the first move, so whether Gary came to arrest him or help him, it is impossible to verify.

Now he has [-]% confidence in his heart, as long as there is an opportunity, he can completely believe that Gary is what Heitan Muchan pretends to say.
