One Piece: The Eternal Flame

It has become common for naval warships to come and go recently. For the residents of Water City, since the accident at Wayne Shipyard, warships have been coming and going frequently in Water City.

The world's number one shipyard in the past has become a ruin. In this world full of pirates, this kind of thing happens in different places every moment.

The warships of the Warring States Period are docked near the No. [-] dock, which is also the place where the navy warships are moored collectively.

There were many spectators around, and the Warring States took the lead to go ashore, and saluted the navy standing at the port, "Marshal."

"Well, it seems that you have gained a lot." Cyborg looked at Lockes and others who were escorted from the warship, "The elites of the Lockes Pirates are here."

"Fortunately." After Zhan Guo finished speaking, he looked at Garp who was winking at him and Zefa who was expressionless, with a bit of disgust in his tone, "Forget it, why is Garp here?"

"What do you mean, Warring States!" Garp was unhappy when he heard that, "What's wrong with me here?"

"It will only add to the chaos." Warring States commented.

"Hey, you bastard, after finally meeting you, you actually said that to me!"

"Okay, okay, what's the fuss about this?" Zefa felt a headache between the two of them. He blocked Karp with his left hand and Zhan Guo with his right, and reminded: "The marshal is still here."

"Hmph." Garp snorted coldly and lowered his fist, and Sengoku also turned his head to the side, out of sight.

Cyborg ignored the emotional disputes between the three, but walked forward and said to Lockes, "What are you looking at?"

This sentence is both like a question sentence and an affirmative sentence. From just now, Lockes has been looking for something among the crowd of onlookers gathered at the port.

In the crowd, a woman with her hair tied casually on her shoulders quietly exited the crowd. She had an outstanding appearance and refined temperament, but she didn't attract the attention of the people around her.

Rocks withdrew his gaze, facing the oppression of the steel frame without any fear.

He met Cyborg's sight head-on, with a cruel arc on the corner of his mouth, "I'm remembering the faces of all the spectators around me, and I'll kill them all when I leave the city."

"Once you enter Advance City, you will never want to leave." Cyborg didn't feel that Lockes wanted to remember the faces of the crowd just now, his gaze was more like looking for someone.

As for who to look for, it may be someone who can rescue him.

But Cyborg swept the people who were also arrested behind Lockes, the elites of their pirate group are already here, who else has the ability to save him?
Lockes shrugged his shoulders and said no more. It is useless to say these things now, and it will not be too late to ridicule Cyborg again after he leaves the city.

The navy holds the most powerful and notorious villains in the world. I wonder how many interesting people exist in it. Letting them all out and turning the world upside down seems like a good idea.

From the prison of the warship to the prison of the water capital, the treatment is still the same, the only difference is that there is a little less bumpy here.

"Captain, don't we really need to do anything?" Wang Zhi still had no confidence, "Can that woman really save us from Pushing City?"

"Wang Zhi, what are you afraid of? The captain is already wearing the Hailou Stone, which means he must be sure." The golden lion Shiji said with a smile: "Now that things have happened, you should trust that crazy woman."

"But she suddenly appeared to cooperate with us, don't you think it's too strange." Wang Zhi looked at Lockes, "Captain, is that woman really trustworthy?"

"Unbelievable." Lockes raised his hand, and the sea tower stone chains jingled, and he replied lazily: "You said it too, she is a crazy woman."

"Then you still"

"Between people, only interests are credible. We are related to her interests, so she is temporarily credible."

"I really want to know what you discussed, Captain." The golden lion Shiji asked tentatively: "Is that woman strong?"

"Strong? Maybe, I can only tell you that she came out of the blank 100 years. Demon." Lockes squinted and smiled: "You don't need to know too much, just act according to my request."

"Another 100 years of blank space, what are you looking for?"

"Wealth and liberty, rule the world."

And what all the D's are looking for.

Rocks D. Gibeck is no exception, but every D is a different individual, and the paths they choose are also different.

After the 100 years of blankness ended, the D family also gradually withdrew from the stage of history. No one knew about the brilliance they created during the 100 years of blankness. Now, except for those high-level people who hold the secret, no one will have any reaction to D.

Lockes chuckled a few times, and when he came out of the city, he would definitely make the whole world feel the terror of D again.

The sun gradually went down, and soon it was late at night.

There are still several rooms in the mayor's building, which is the temporary residence of the navy, with lights on, and the navy is diligently patrolling downstairs.

A black shadow flashed past when the navy turned around, so fast it seemed to be an illusion.

He stood in a dark corner, looked up at the place where the light was on, and the color of knowledge covered the entire building like a tide, and finally locked on one of the brightly lit rooms.

The figure disappeared from the spot, and after almost a few seconds, he squatted and stood on the sill outside the window. Just as he was about to open the window, the people inside moved first.

Steel Bone opened the window, stepped sideways to make room, and said casually, "This outfit is not bad."

"Thank you for the compliment." The black hood was lifted, Gray shook his head, and complained: "There are too many CP0s in the Water City, and it took me a lot of effort to avoid them."

"The world government is too suspicious. CP0 came here to monitor me." Steel Back returned to his seat and crossed his hands on the table. "So far, is your plan going well?"

"How should I put it, it's going well or not." Gray frowned. "A woman I don't know the details appeared in front of me and said some strange things. It wasn't about me. She called my name at Ace."

"why?"

"Hmm~ I guess she is face-blind." Gray also found a place to sit down, rubbed his chin and said, "Besides her, I also forgot about Tracy and the Five Old Stars. I didn't expect that the pirate group was Tracy and the others."

"You mean Carnegie's first generation Onitsu?" Steel Bone knew about it, "Maybe he will be your helper."

"What do you mean?"

"Twenty years ago, a guy from the D family fought Carnegie, who was an admiral at the time, and Carnegie disappeared after that."

"He used to be in the Navy?" Gray was a little surprised, "Aren't the five old stars all Tianlong people?"

"The other four people are all Tianlong people, but Carnegie is an exception." Steel Bone said: "He was promoted to the Five Old Stars because he saved the Tianlong people. Do you know... who did he save?"

"Who?" Gray didn't like other people's tricks, he scratched his cheek, and guessed: "If you can make an exception and promote him to the fifth elder star, the Tianlong man can't be Im?"

"Yes, it's Im." Cyborg smiled. "22 years ago, a man wearing a straw hat—Gol D. Wells wanted to assassinate Im who was secretly operating in the New World, but was stopped by Carnegie. The two fought for days and nights, and finally both disappeared."

"...My reason tells me that it's not good to interrupt your speech now." Gray shrugged, although he was curious about this sudden appearance of the D-family—someone suspected to be related to Gol D. Roger, but it's better to listen to Cyborg first.

"Carnegie returned to the Navy headquarters ten years later. I was still a lieutenant general at that time, and I didn't hear much. It is said that Carnegie lost his memory of the battle and opened a kendo gym on the island where he was rescued. Ten years later, he regained his memory and rushed back. At that time, Im had become the master of Huajian, and the five old stars lacked a powerful person. Naturally, she has the right to promote him to the new five old stars."

"Oh~ So Teresi was the apprentice he accepted when he lost his memory. Ten years ago, Teresi was 16 years old. I remember he said that he played a lot of dojos in various places. The time is indeed right."

Gray was already in a supine position for listening to stories, and he didn't care if his current position would be impolite. He asked, "What about Wells, have you caught him?"

"No, he is missing just like Carnegie." Cyborg picked up a pen on the table and smashed it at Gray's upturned knee joint.

The latter rolled down from the sofa with a howl, moaning and complaining about the ruthlessness of the steel frame.

Steel Bone didn't listen to Gray's misery, and warned: "If you don't want to be beaten, just sit down."

"Yes, yes~" Gray pouted and sat up again, with a more serious tone, "Why do you think he can become my support? He has made Teresi miserable in order to get Guiche back. I don't think he will become my support for someone who doesn't even care about the relationship between master and apprentice."

"You can remember this first, and more things, you can get to know Teresi when you go back to the new world." Steel Bone said: "I'm just standing on my personal point of view, and I think it's a bit sudden that Carnegie took Guiche back."

"It was really sudden, and I also find it strange." Gray nodded. He thought for a while, but he couldn't figure out why. He had never investigated the story behind the five old stars before, so it would be strange if he could figure out the reason.

The steel bone interrupted Gray's thinking at the right time, "Don't think about it, your brain can't think of anything good."

Gray curled his lips, "Yes, yes, that's why I need your help~ After all, you are really straightforward. I didn't expect that you would really choose to believe my nonsense stories."

"That's why I'm the father." Steel Back leaned back in the chair. Four years ago, on such a late night, Gray, wearing a black cloak, entered the marshal's office through the window.

At that time, when Black Firework had just gained a firm foothold in the New World, Cyborg never thought that Gray would suddenly appear here.

And without any hesitation, he took off his hood and said to him, "Father, although it's sudden, I need your help."

-

"Gray, did I tell you before that you don't leave your back and don't care about the surroundings, you always don't change, you go all the way to the dark, and you only accept death"

"What's going on? Why did you break into Marie Gioia without telling me? If you tell me, even if you give up this position, Dad will save you."

"You have also heard that I colluded with pirates, this is the truth."

-

"I need you, will you help me?"

His face remained unchanged as before, but after a year passed, his youthfulness and immaturity faded, and he became more mature.

Steel Bone stared at Gray for a long time. The kid's behavior was always very sudden. He broke into his life suddenly, left suddenly, and now came back again, asking him suddenly if he could help him.

Children are debts——Steel Gu suddenly remembered a sentence he heard somewhere. He used to think it was unreasonable, but now he thinks it is very reasonable.

"If you want me to help you, first you have to convince me why I want to help you." Steel Bone said: "Now that you have become a pirate, not arresting you immediately is already the greatest tolerance I have for you."

"I understand, the story is a bit long, you can have a meal and listen to me slowly." Gray closed the window, swept all the documents on the steel frame table to the floor, and preached seriously: "You haven't eaten yet, you always have no sense of time!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was punched on the head by the steel bone.

The latter said in a dangerous tone, "Pick up all these documents for me later."

"Oh" Gray confessed, but he still didn't forget what he wanted to do just now. He took the other hand-held box to the table as if offering a treasure, "It's really a big help that the Navy canteen is open so late~"

The aroma of hot food soon filled the entire office. Steel Gu didn't eat at night, and he was really hungry now. He picked up his chopsticks and said, "Speak, I'll listen."

Gray moved a chair and sat on the opposite side of the steel frame, his face was a little tangled, and he raised two fingers after a while, and said a little aggrieved: "I brought the amount for two people."

The implication is, can I also eat some.

Steel Gu sighed heavily, and threw a pair of chopsticks to him angrily, "I'll send you into the city after eating."

"Hey, if it's you, I have no objection."

He had never tried to talk openly with Cyborg before, and thought that this non-talk was a symbol of his maturity and reliability. Even in the end, there was a thick barrier between father and son.

Gray has seen Cyborg's hair turn gray within a few days, and he has also seen him lamenting his incompetence as a father in the middle of the night.

"Will you help me? I want to find the truth and overthrow the rule of the Tianlong people. This requires many years of preparation. I don't know how much risk there will be, and I don't have the confidence to say that I will succeed."

".What do you need me to do?"

"Haha, your promise is so simple, it makes me feel that I was really stupid before."

"It was stupid."

"Well, after all, I'm not an unwanted child, so just be stupid."
