One Piece: The Eternal Flame

After exchanging a photo for a full ship of food and drinks, Gray and the others returned to the Blacks.

After only two days of not seeing each other, Gray couldn't wait to give his boat a hug—he threw himself on the lawn, rolled over and turned upside down, with some grass clippings on his face.

"Finally back, Black, you must miss me, I already feel it~" He shook his head, almost crying.

"Captain, I don't know if Black thinks about you, but I know, you must have disgusted him just now hahahaha." Alder grinned and made a face at Gray.

When Gray was angry and wanted to beat him, he ran into the cabin with a big bag on his back.

They have to put the wine in the storage room first, and the food has to be locked in the refrigerator.

Looking at Gray lying on the lawn with his legs crossed leisurely, and seeing other people busy, Ace suddenly remembered what they said about the captain as a mascot.

Now it seems that it is really vivid.

He smiled and walked into the kitchen. Andrew was already fetching water to clean the stove, and Colin was sorting the perishable food into the refrigerator.

"Andrew, Colin." Ace greeted.

"Ace, just put the food here." Colin pointed to the open space next to him.

"Okay." Ace nodded, put the big backpack behind him on the ground, and then squatted down to take out the things.

"Ace, how about the vigil tonight?" Perry walked over, "Vigil with the captain."

"I'm fine." Ace said.

Andrew looked over sympathetically, "Ace, you must be mentally prepared to watch all night~"

"The captain's vigil is to sleep on the observation deck." Colin also explained helplessly.

"Haha, it's okay, I can keep watch alone." Ace had a feeling that it was true.

"The previous night vigils were in groups of two, because the number of people at that time was odd, so we will take turns to watch with the captain again." Perry explained: "The double vigil is a tradition and cannot be changed."

"Because the captain said that one person would be lonely if he stayed the whole night alone, so it was stipulated that two people must be together." Colin laughed.

"But," Andrew complained with a smile: "We watch the night with him, he will always fall asleep, and in the end we keep watch by ourselves."

"Hahahahaha, Ace, you must hold back and don't hit him." Colin patted Ace on the shoulder, "The child will be even more stupid if he hits him again."

At this time, on the deck, Gray was no longer lying on the lawn. He squatted next to Charles and sneezed hard.

Blowing away many divination tools placed on the ground.

Charles twitched the corner of his mouth, silently put the cards and paper back, and asked, "Are we going to Wano Country next?"

After getting the text of the history, Charles thought that Gray would immediately set off to Wano to find the Kozuki clan.

But Gray shook his head, "Go to the nearest deserted island, Ace and I will have a fight."

"Understood." Charles nodded, and tapped the card on the ground with his fingers. The card shone with purple light, shook twice, then stood upright, and began to circle around Charles.

Gray watched quietly, but out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Perry coming out of the kitchen, and immediately stretched his neck and shouted: "Perry!"

Charles, who was holding his breath, was taken aback, and dozens of cards lost their support and fell to the ground in an instant.

He sighed, stood up from the ground, picked up Gray's back collar with his thin hands in the cloak, and threw him off the console when Gray was puzzled.

"Hahahaha, what a tragedy, Captain." Alder leaned on the rudder, laughing so hard that he couldn't straighten up.

"Alas..." Charles sighed, picked up his cards one by one, and started divination again.

Gray didn't fall to the ground, one is that the bridge is not too high, and the other is that his skills are good enough.

The second after landing, Gray ran to Perry, who stayed in place, waiting for Gray to say the following.

"I'm keeping watch today, right?" Gray asked.

Perry nodded, very relieved, "It's rare that you remember to watch the night with Ace today."

"With Ace!" Gray's eyes lit up, and everyone could see that he was very happy now, "Does Ace know?"

"Well, I just told him." Perry crossed his arms, "He's in the kitchen, but you can't go in now."

"Why?" Gray frowned.

"Because the kitchen is still being cleaned up, you can't help when you go in, and you steal food, do you want me to explain?"

The passing Teuton complained: "You have made it very clear."

"I'm sorry, I said the truth." Perry shrugged, and after seeing Gray was hit in black and white, he eased his tone, "As the captain, you should do what the captain should do now."

"What's the matter?" Gray looked at Perry eagerly, and said seriously: "Please give me a chance!"

"Go, see the newspaper delivery gull flying over? Buy a newspaper and have a look." Bailey took Bailey out of his pocket, and quickly fooled Gray away.

Holding the Bailey, the latter bought a newspaper from the newspaper delivery gull with a very solemn expression.

Reading books and newspapers has never been Gray's strong point. He can't sit still and always likes to run around. He wanted to put down the newspaper after only two pages, but the headline on the first page caught his attention.

[The Rocks Pirates severely damaged the naval base, and Rear Admiral Garp and Sengoku were ordered to suppress it]

Rocks... Gray rubbed his eyes, and began to stare at the specific content seriously.

This is simply a world-famous painting that is more difficult to encounter than a coquettish female ninja.

Everyone who passed by here had a look of horror.

"What kind of newspaper is this? The captain reads it so seriously." Abel came to the live-watching settlement and asked in a low voice to Demon and Bud who had been watching for a while.

The latter two held a small snack brought from Zowu in their hands, bag after bag, it tasted crunchy and addictive.

"Give me some." Abel grabbed a handful of snacks from Bud's bag, and imitated the movements of the two, leaning his back against the wall, chatting while eating.

Demon commented on the innocent newspaper, "I can only say that this is not an ordinary newspaper."

"Wouldn't there be a hundred ways to praise Black Flame Gray?" Bud's conjecture is groundless, but it is really convincing.

Gray is a confident and narcissistic person. Every time Perry gets a new newspaper, he will ask the deputy captain to mark the reports about him so that he can pick and choose to read.

"It makes sense..." Abel nodded, and said again: "Could it be that Colin and Perry contributed the manuscript? Aren't they the mother of the captain?"

"Hmm..." Bud thought for a while, "You're right."

"What's the situation? Is the captain sick?" Teuton and Gary also ran over one after the other, with exactly the same expressions as Abel just now.

Abel talked quickly, and told them all about their discussion.

Teuton nodded, "I can already imagine the tears in Colin's mother's eyes."

"Huh, it's so disgusting." The others suddenly had goosebumps.

Colin's mother, as they speak, happened to have finished tidying up and walked out of the kitchen with Ace onto the deck.

Perry often sits on the deck chair reading newspapers in the middle of the deck, a very conspicuous position.

Now the person sitting on it is more conspicuous, even conspicuous to the point of horror.
