One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The calm zone is a very special sea area in this world.

It sandwiches the entire great route, there is neither wind nor current, and the entire sea is in a state of absolute calm.

Most of the pirate ships are wind-powered sailboats. Once a sailboat enters here, it will lose power and be trapped, unable to move.

Therefore, for pirates, this is a dangerous sea that is almost impossible to navigate.

Moreover, there are a large number of super giant sea kings living here, which increases its danger.

It is precisely because of the existence of the windless belt that the pirates from all over the world must walk the upside-down mountain to enter the great route, and they must walk the entire route in order to reach the final island.

After giving Kozuki Oden, a nautical novice, the knowledge of the calm zone, Perry coughed lightly, "Do you understand?"

Oden nodded vigorously, "In short, it's a magical sea!"

"Oh, you can say that." Perry didn't expect Mitian to understand.

I want to tell him in detail, mainly because this child will definitely return to Wano Country in the future, it is better to know about these sailing things.

"Hey Captain, there is an island, do you want to go?" Abel put down his binoculars and shouted towards the ship's side.

"An island with no wind?" Gray leaned back against the ship's side, touched his chin and thought about it, and said with a smile, "Sounds quite interesting."

"Do you want to go?" Alder leaned on the rudder, and he turned when the captain gave an order.

"The rule of the pirate world is to stop when you encounter an island~"

Everyone was helpless, "How can there be such a rule, Captain."

"Hahahaha, I am the pirate's rule."

Gray laughed: "Okay, Alder, turn around, let's go to that island!"

"Received!" Alder straightened up immediately, adjusted the rudder and sailed towards the unnamed island.

"Don't you want to rush to save Whitebeard?" Perry reminded, "Ace is still working hard under the cabin."

"Then tell him." Gray spread his hands indifferently, "Oden, go find Ace."

"Okay!" After receiving the task, Mitian immediately ran to the cabin.

"Anyway, Whitebeard has already been imprisoned in Advance City, and the treatment there is the same. Does it make any difference if you are locked up for a few days or a few days?" Gray said confidently.

"Also, Lu Jiu and Xia Qi, we can't let them fight too." Gray looked at the two women on board who had a good relationship.

They are watering the flowers growing on the boat.

Hibiscus, peonies and roses, Gray doesn't really understand the preferences of women and transvestites, he always wants to sneeze when he gets close.

"It's better to find an island and settle it first."

The next thing to go is to advance to the city. The flowers are very fragile, and Gray can't guarantee their safety.

"Well, although I think you want to go to that island to play around."

"Hahahaha, half and half~"

"I brought Ace." Oden ran out of the cabin, excited because he was about to land on the island.

Ace took a step behind him, and was also very happy, "Have you encountered a new island?"

"Yeah~" Gray raised his gun-like hand, and said to Ace thoughtlessly, "Ace, tilt your head."

Ace's actions were faster than his brain's reaction speed, and he immediately tilted his head to one side, and at the same time saw a black flame flying past his cheek.

It's warm and not dangerous.

The ship shook abruptly, and a huge sea king appeared from the sea, staring straight at the Blacks with its huge eyes.

You must know that the current Blacks has been replaced by a large two-masted sailing ship, which is more than a star and a half larger than before, but facing this Neptune, its size is not even as big as its eyeball.

Before everyone could be surprised, they heard the Neptune scream in pain, and plunged back into the sea again.

"It escaped, Captain!" Andrew was very sorry.

Gray knocked on the ship's side rhythmically, "How can the pirates let the ingredients escape."

"Zizizizi."

The sea suddenly made a sizzling sound, and bubbles kept surging upwards. Everyone saw a huge black shadow floating out of the boiling sea water.

Its gray-brown skin has turned red to indicate ripeness, and it is difficult for you to distinguish whether it is sea water or a pot of boiling broth.

The floating Neptune is right next to the Blacks. Gray walked over a few steps and said triumphantly, "Welcome everyone to taste my work. I named it—a natural boiled barbecue that is infinitely close to the mysteries of nature!"

Everyone was silent, not surprised by Gray's strength.

"I don't know what to say." Ace spoke first.

"I don't really want to eat this." Oden was a little sad, this was the first time he directly rejected Gray, and the young man was full of guilt and entanglement.

"Yo ho ho ho forget it, I can't laugh." Brooke scratched his bone.

"No appetite?" Gray couldn't believe it.

"What do professional chefs say?" Colin looked at Andrew.

The latter shook his head, like a doctor declaring a terminal illness. "First of all, sea water cannot be used for cooking directly. The taste of this fish will be very salty, very salty, very salty."

"The second point is that the internal organs were not removed. This is simply the most unbearable point."

"Third point, although it looks cooked, it must be raw inside. You are wasting food, Captain."

The captain cooks for the first time, with an absolute bad review

Gray covered his heart, and his whole body turned pale at an extremely fast speed.

Every word Andrew said was like a knife piercing his heart.

"Andrew, what you said is too much!" Colin who asked Andrew's thoughts was the first to retort, "How can you say that about the captain."

"Ah? I didn't!" Andrew retorted, "I'm encouraging him!"

"Your encouragement is like scolding." Perry also joined in, "You can't be so harsh on a child."

"I'm harsh??" Andrew didn't allow anyone to doubt his tolerance for the captain, "Then come on, Perry! You encourage the captain, I'll learn from it."

"I'll come if I come." Perry pinched out his cigarette, stepped forward and patted Gray on the shoulder.

"Captain, don't try to cook in the future, you will never get through this road."

"You are the most demanding!" Andrew said angrily.

"So what the hell are they playing?" Xia Qi, who was watering the flowers on the upper deck, rolled her eyes.

Lu Jiu looked at the noisy crowd below, and said with a smile, "This is probably happiness that we can't understand."

"Hmph, they are too stupid."

"If it's serious, it's too depressing."

". That's true. Just be stupid. It's fun to watch them be stupid."

In order to make up for the fault of wasting food, Gray went to the cabin to work as a laborer.

Soon, the boat approached the unnamed island.

According to the usual practice, everyone circled the island.

"There's not even a port, Perry."

"Do you think there are people on this island?"

"I don't know, the windless belt should be an uninhabited island."

"Maybe it's primitive people."

"Hi, oh oh oh oh~"

"Okay, don't be stupid, pack your things and go to the island."

The boat docked near a shallow beach.

The boat guards are Prometheus and Zeus. As long as these two guys are not stupid, they will definitely be obedient.

After all, if they want to escape, it will be fatal for Homitz like them who need to replenish energy frequently.

Gray was the first to enter the forest, urging the people behind while walking, "Hurry up, hurry up, I will beat you if I delay my search for the treasure."

"What treasures will there be on the uninhabited island?" Bard raised his voice to refute.

"Whoosh-"

While everyone was still immersed in the excitement of the adventure, the sound of an arrow piercing the air suddenly sounded from one direction.

The Teuton who was targeted—probably because of his huge size, he stretched out his hand to precisely grasp the incoming arrow and snapped it off in the middle.

"It doesn't look like an uninhabited island, Captain."

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

"Whoosh-"

The first arrow opened the prelude to the attack, and countless arrows rained down from the depths of the forest in all directions.

Everyone protected Lu Jiu and Xia Qi in the middle.

"If it can be friendly, I think I would prefer to sit down and talk." Gray sighed regretfully.

The black flames spread from the ground under his feet, forming a wall of fire around where everyone was, and the arrows were turned into ashes the moment they touched the wall of fire.

When the people hiding in the dark saw this scene, the expressions on their faces became serious.

This kind of solemnity turned into horror when he saw the wall of fire expanding to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

"How to do?"

"Go and inform the empress that there are intruders!"

"Captain, we still need to protect the environment." Demon reminded.

"I didn't intend to burn this forest down." Gray looked unhappy, but he extinguished the flame obediently.

The trees near them had burned all their leaves and were scorched black, as if they had been doused with ink.

"Don't hide, I know where you are all." Gray raised his voice, "If you don't want the whole island to burn, then put down your weapons and surrender."

"Captain Gray really looks like a pirate now." Lu Jiu whispered to Ace.

Ace bent down slightly, and smiled after hearing Lu Jiu's words, "Because we are pirates."

"Outsiders get off this island!"

"Get out, or don't blame us for being rude!"

In the forest, several different but all female voices sounded.

"They're all women?" Gary was a little taken aback.

"The women came to defend against the intruders, have all the men on their island gone to embroider?" Alder was already getting angry for the other party.

"Maybe there are no men." Latin crossed his arms, "We may have come to the Amazon lily in the windless belt."

"The legendary Daughter Island?!" A suspicious blush appeared on Brook's bones.

"People are just guessing." Latin is also not sure, "Because the only famous island in the windless zone is the Amazon lily, and this island is still a woman to defend against foreign enemies."

Gray heard what Latin and Brook said, and immediately realized what Daughter Island is, "I already know that you are the Nine Snakes! Just tell me if you are acquainted!"

The captain's mouth was covered by Alder and Bud at the same time, and the two angrily taught the captain to talk to women properly.

Perry sighed and took Gray's place, "We came to this island by accident, not to provoke a struggle. The current emperor of the Nine Snakes is Gulo Liosa, right?"

"Bold! How dare you call the Empress by her name!"

It was another arrow, and Perry knocked it down, "We are the Black Firework Pirates. I hope you can explain to the Empress before deciding whether to continue attacking us. Even if the Amazon Lily's information is blocked, it is unlikely that even our Pirates have never heard of it."

There was a silence in the forest, and after a while, they seemed to have discussed it.

"The empress is coming, I hope you don't act rashly!"

"In the future, if you dare to cover my mouth while I'm talking, I'll beat you!" Gray waved his fist angrily, condemning Alder and Bud's behavior.

Alder nodded perfunctorily, "Yes, yes, captain, we know we were wrong."

"It must be changed." Bud also said.

"I heard that Daughter's Island can only be entered by women, not men." Latin cupped his face, "If that's the case."

She looked at the men present, with a mysterious smile on her lips, "You guys are ready to dress up as women!"

"Pfft—" Several people who were drinking and taking a break spit out the wine in unison.

"This idea is great." Xia Qi smiled like a little devil, and stood on the same front with Latin almost without thinking.

Lu Jiu hesitated for a while, and said, "Actually, once in a while should be fine."

"It's okay to be Ace, we are not shemale."

"Hey! Why are you mentioning me?" Ace said angrily.

"If this is the only way to get in, I'd rather stay on the boat!"

"Hahahaha, sounds very interesting." Gray patted his thigh and laughed, and after laughing, he became serious, "But I don't want to wear women's clothing."

"You really don't understand the happiness of wearing a skirt at all. You only need to wear it once, and you will understand~" Latin was still working hard.

"We are all old, so don't torment us." Perry said cruelly, "It's better to squeeze young people to come."

To say the youngest man on board.
Mi Tian received everyone's attention and shook his head vigorously: "How can a dignified samurai wear women's clothes!"

Gray: "I'm the captain!"

"Ace?" Lu Jiu looked at Ace.

Ace's heart skipped a beat, and he shook his head vigorously, "No, no, no, this is the only thing that even you and I can't agree to!!!"

"Tsk, really, men are really annoying." Latin complained to Xia Qi and Lu Jiu, "If you can't even make this little sacrifice, what kind of man are you?"

When the tug-of-war of women's clothing persisted, there were footsteps from far to near and rustling sounds like snakes walking on the grass.

The crowd looked around.

I saw a group of people coming out of the forest, all of them were women.

The leading woman has long, wavy black hair and exquisite and beautiful features. She is wearing a red-yellow cheongsam with high slits that shows off her figure, revealing her long snow-white legs as she walks around.

The current king of Amazon Lily, Guloliosa, is a gorgeous and elegant woman just like Lily Garland.
