One Piece: The Eternal Flame

The Red Earth Continent is full of protruding stones, which look easy to climb. In fact, only those who have actually climbed can experience the sense of despair that has been buried in the ground for a long time, but still can't see the end.

While climbing up, Gray asked Alfred a question.

"Fred, do you think someone will climb to the top of the Red Earth Continent alone to rescue the slaves of the Celestial Dragons?"

"What wild things are you thinking about again?" Alfred replied subconsciously, before carefully thinking about the meaning of Gray's words.

After crossing a huge obstacle, Alfred continued: "It is impossible to have such a person."

"Aren't we?"

"There are two of us, and we're not going to free slaves."

"Yeah, there are two of us." Gray looked up at the endless red earth continent, and sighed softly, "So...what is that guy thinking?"

Climb to the red earth continent alone, spend his whole life eliminating discrimination between races, and finally died in this cause.

"Huh?" Alfred didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, I think we should speed up, it will be dark soon."

The night was like a huge gray cloth, quietly stretched out, covering the whole world. In the quiet night, the two climbed onto the Red Earth Continent almost at the same time.

Gray lay down on the ground exhausted, looking up at the crescent moon in the sky, the thin and cold air from the high altitude was inhaled into his lungs, not to mention how comfortable it was.

He looked at Alfred who was standing aside, sat up and pulled the latter down, and then lay back on the ground again, "Hahaha, it should be said that it is Mary Gioia, the air smells comfortable."

"Idiot, it's because you're too hot, it's the same in any high-altitude place." Alfred also needed a rest. He reached out to brush the hair on his forehead - after staying in prison for a long time, the hair inevitably grew a lot. When he slid the hair to the sides, his golden eyes were completely exposed.

Gray tilted his head and said with a smile, "Hey, let's burn Mary Gioia."

"The black fire is too conspicuous, it is better to use ordinary flames." Alfred said: "There is no need to do too much for me."

Gray opened his mouth, and suddenly said maliciously: "Fred, you think too much."

Alfred's answer was to clenched his fist and punched Gray, "Can you really deceive people with your clumsy acting skills?"

Gray held his nose, "Not to mention, I have deceived many people."

"There are people who are dumber than you. The world is full of wonders."

"Hahaha, just cooperate with me once in a while."

Gray stood up and reached out to pull Alfred up again, but the latter got up by himself.

He pouted resentfully, and pointed to the brightly lit and resplendent Mary Gioia, "Let's go, let's see who gets there first."

"Childish." Alfred said so, but his feet were no slower than Gray.

There are not many guards in Marie Gioia, mainly because the Tianlong people are proud of their nobility and think that the navy is too easy to pollute the air of the Holy Land. Therefore, except for such a large gathering as the World Conference, there are not many naval guards in normal times.

But it would be a big mistake to think that Marie Gioia is easy to invade.

After all, the navy is only a watchman on the surface. In the dark, there are many dogs that can guard the house for Mary Gioia.

Gray showed his knowledge, but with his strength, he could only detect a small part of the area. The building area of ​​the entire Marie Gioia was several times larger than that of a large island.

The two climbed over the outer city wall, and this was considered to be officially entering Maryjoia. With the number of times Gray came to Maryjoia, they could only tell where the World Government buildings were. As for which family the other buildings belonged to. Who cares which family it is.

"Start burning from here," said Gray, and took a slap.

"Idiot, do you think an ordinary open fire can burn here?" Alfred said: "These buildings have been treated at first sight, and they can't be burned without combustibles."

"You have the ability to speak well, so why hit me!" Gray punched back, "You didn't say you wanted to use an open flame."

"For your own good, can I have a little brain?"

"Who's there!" There was a shout, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

When the sailors turned the corner, they found that the place was empty. Several people scattered and searched around, but found no footprints or any other clues. One person still felt uneasy. When he looked up, he found that the window of a balcony above was wide open, and the warm lights illuminated the surroundings very brightly.

It's really enviable, when they are running around for money, the Tianlong people have already used gold to make window frames and gold-inlaid decorations on the white marble of the balcony.

"Let's go."

"I guess it was the sound of the window opening."

"Shall we ask?"

"Ha, do you want to be chased away at the door like a stray dog?"

A long time had passed by the time the few returned to their patrol positions.

Gray didn't expect them to be so dedicated to their duties, but it's a pity that they are destined to work hard tonight.

"This should be a woman's room." Alfred stood under a large photo of a woman in the room. "Perhaps we can learn from her where Mary Joya puts the munitions."

"How are you sure? What if it's a man." Gray closed the balcony window casually.

"You mean Latin? I can still tell the difference between women and transvestites." Alfred looked at Gray, and the next moment he reached out and caught the apple thrown by Gray.

"It's the first time I've eaten such a sweet apple." Gray took a big bite, and went to look for other food, "It's all fruit, but fruit is fine too~"

"Pigs can also eat anything."

"Hiss, is there someone between the two of us?" Gray sensed the existence of the two of them with his sense of knowledge.

"Come here." Alfred opened another door in the room, and waved Gray over after seeing no one.

Gray looked around, put the apple in his mouth, and ran over quickly with a bunch of grapes from the tray on the table.

"Forget it if you die." Alfred cursed.

While the door was carefully closed, people from outside pushed the door open and walked into the room.

The place where Gray and the others hid was a luxurious cloakroom. The room was as big as three captain's cabins. Against the wall was a custom-made large wardrobe. Rows of clothes were neatly placed in it, and the colorful colors were close to the impact brought by the kaleidoscope.

The door was cold to the touch, and it was actually made of very valuable jade, with a diamond-shaped hollow design underneath. The two lay on the ground, Alfred was carefully observing the situation outside, and Gray was seriously stuffing grapes into his mouth.

After eating half of it, Gray stuffed the remaining half into Alfred's hand, expressing with his eyes that it was really delicious.

Alfred mouthed an idiot silently, and just as he stuffed a grape into his mouth, the female Celestial Dragon came here.

Both of them were taken aback for a moment, then quickly got up and looked for cover.

Fortunately, the wardrobe here is not as high as the ceiling for the convenience of Tianlong people to take clothes. There is even a large space above it, which is more than enough to lie down and sleep. At the same time, it is also very clean, and it should be cleaned by a special person every day.

"When she comes in, hold her directly." Alfred swallowed the grapes and said in a low voice.

Gray nodded, indicating that he fully understood.

The female Celestial Dragon had no idea that there were two people waiting for her to enter the cloakroom. She attended the banquet as usual—this kind of entertainment existed every day, singing and dancing, everyone showing off their new purchases, or newly acquired slave toys, and jointly praising their noble blood.

Today was the same as usual, Krista Palace took off her necklace and threw it on the ground. This priceless thing was just auctioned off yesterday, and today it ended its mission after showing off.

For some reason, she felt a little tired, and her hands were groping for the zipper of the dress behind her back. Perhaps she was not in a good mood when she was compared to Princess Prince in terms of showing off her slaves.

The zipper was pulled down, and the expensive dress slipped off her body. She stepped barefoot on the white soft fur carpet, her coiled hair was untied, and the long golden hair drew a beautiful arc behind her, and finally fell in front of her body, blocking the large scenery.

Gray and Alfred were ready to rush forward when the other opened the door, but no one thought that the woman who came in would be naked.

The two looked away almost at the same time, reached out to cover each other's eyes, and lowered their bodies, trying to make their own sense of existence transparent.

Tianlongren stood in front of the mirror and looked at it for a long time before sighing, as if he was very dissatisfied with his figure.

She took another gorgeous dress, and still felt dissatisfied after gesturing for a while.

Not long after, the clothes she tried and discarded piled up a hill at her feet. Someone will sort them out tomorrow, or if she is not satisfied today, she can call the slave over now.

After more than an hour of selection, she finally chose the clothes, probably going to the next banquet, and left in a hurry.

Alfred breathed a sigh of relief, took Gray's hand off, and found that the latter had begun to fall asleep.

"Grey," he said, "let's go."

"Yeah~" Gray stretched his waist and commented, "She changes clothes so slowly."

"Well, there's no way to do it." Alfred didn't want to see the news of two idiots peeking at Tianlong people changing clothes with evil intentions besides the news that Marie Gioia was set on fire by unknown people.

Gray jumped out of the closet and sneezed, "Ah~ it smells so good here."

Tianlongren sprayed himself with perfume before leaving, and the smell filled the air, making people want to sneeze.

Walk out of the cloakroom, open the room exit, and outside is a long red carpeted corridor.

Knowledgeable only sensed the breath of the Tianlong man leaving, Gray tilted his head, and Alfred immediately understood, "Let's go."

The two followed the Tianlong man, escaped several teams of guards, and finally stopped at the corner of another building.

The melodious symphony came from the building, and outside the wide open door, many luxuriously dressed Tianlong people led or rode their slaves in. This seemed to be a hall specially used for banquets.

"Welcome to the Banquet of the Don Quixote Family"

"Wow, is this your new slave?"

"Yes, the introduction said that he is a prince in distress of a country."

"Why haven't you brought slaves with you recently?"

"My favorite slave died, and I'm not in the mood recently."

"The auction house in Chambord has recently arrived with a lot of good goods. Let's go and have a look someday."

"Ah! This woman is so beautiful, give it to me, and I will exchange it with you for a devil fruit."

"My young master doesn't lack that kind of thing. If you want it, you must at least have some sincerity."

"It's fun to order here." Gray said in a very low voice.

The two were still hiding high, this time on the outer edge of a window.

"Then light it up." Alfred pointed to the huge chandelier used for lighting inside. There were several transparent gemstones hanging from it, and thousands of candlesticks were used for lighting.

He opened the window a little, and the blade flew over like a streamer, cutting off the link between the chandelier and the zenith neatly.

With a swish, the huge chandelier fell to the ground without anyone noticing it, hitting a few unlucky Tianlong people standing below.

"--ah!!!"

"It's fire! It's on fire!"

"Ahhh, I'm scalding to death, save me!"

The sharp screams and screams of the Tianlong people pierced the night sky, kicking off the prelude to this lively feast.

The candlelight fell, and the flame spread, first touching the thick floor, and then spreading to the surroundings at an extremely fast speed.

"Walk."

As soon as it was done, the two jumped off the window sill and left quickly.

The person in charge of the guard noticed that the two men had passed by in a flash. He wanted to chase them, but he couldn't.

The lives of the Celestial Dragons are more important than capturing these two men.

The turmoil in this place has not subsided, and soon another building is also ignited. The fire is fierce, even more terrifying than the banquet here.

The guards are very busy. Their first task is to save the Tianlong people. It doesn't matter if these buildings burn down. Anyway, with the financial resources of the Tianlong people, it is not easy to rebuild.

"I found it." Gray looked at the place where weapons and ammunition were stored. It was located next to the World Government building. If it exploded, it would be interesting to think about it.

"Stay away." He said to Alfred.

Alfred nodded, and when he retreated to a safe place, Gray lit a bomb and threw it inside.

"Boom—" Explosions sounded one after another, and a fiery wave rushed out of the roof.

Accompanied by earth-shattering loud noises, billowing thick smoke rose into the sky like an overwhelming sandstorm, and accompanied by the bewitching bloom of scarlet flames, a grand mushroom cloud bloomed.

Violent explosions can be heard endlessly. From near to far, the buildings of the world government were the first to be affected by the explosions. The houses collapsed one after another, and the shattered building wreckage fell like a meteor shower.

The earth trembled accordingly, and the whole Marie Gioia was crumbling.

The flames dyed Alfred's hair red, and he looked at a black flame forming Gray's body.

The young man stepped out of the black flames, with a scarlet flame behind him.

Because of the backlight, his face was hidden in the darkness, and he could only see the outline outlined in bright red. Then when he walked in, the light and the back shadow disappeared.

The guy who looked scary at first immediately changed his temperament, with a big grin on the corner of his mouth, "Hey, Fred, are you happy?"

"Okay." Alfred raised an eyebrow.

"Ha, okay?" Gray's tone was exaggerated, "You are really difficult to serve. Why is no one chasing you?"

"Everyone is rushing to the Tianlong people, who cares about arresting us." Alfred said, "Grey, do you want to separate?"

"you dislike me?!!"

"Do I mean that?"

"Tch, I don't want to act with you either." Gray pouted, moved his feet, and ran in another direction, "Gather where we came here!"

"Ah."

In fact, it is enough to do this step. For more than 800 years, no one dared to break into Mary Joya like them, made a fuss, and finally blew up the World Government building.

Tomorrow's newspaper is probably busy enough.

Danger came from behind.

Gray held Griffin by his waist, turned around and blocked a slash.

"It's you?" Carnegie was standing with a sword in his hand, he was a little stunned after seeing the appearance of the intruder, "Black Flame Gray?"

"You've got the wrong person, I'm Germa 66's Invisible Black." Gray replied solemnly and confidently.

Carnegie narrowed his eyes slightly, but he didn't worry about this matter, "Well, whoever you are, if you come here today, don't think about going back."

"That depends on whether Sola agrees." Gray glanced at the first generation Onitsu in Carnegie's hand, "Your knife is not bad, give it to me."

Carnegie snorted coldly, "The western sword in your hand is also good."

He recognized Griffin.

Invisible Black doesn't use a sword, which Gray feels is a major failure for him as a loyal fan of Sea Warrior, and of course Sora doesn't use flames either.

The two exchanged a few friendly words, and then hit each other.

Both are Supreme Swordsmen, it is impossible to tell who is better and who is worse, so the level of the swordsman is the last thing to look at.

Gray has been knocked down by Carnegie before, and it's embarrassing to say it, but it's true.

Carnegie's strength is high, otherwise it would be impossible to make an exception and become a five-star star. Im attaches great importance to him.

At the same time, on Alfred's side, he also ran into five old stars, or two—compared with Gray, he was always less lucky.

"You are." Rockefeller squinted at him. The peculiarity of his white-haired golden eyes made the judge quickly search for the memory in his mind, "Alfred?"

He remembered this young man, as a former navy and a failed experiment, and then imprisoned in the city of advance.

"I'm sorry, I think you misidentified the person." Alfred said lightly, "I'm Sola, the warrior of the sea."

"Do you think we are idiots?" Fugger was sullen, his curvy beard trembling, "You actually escaped from the city of advancement."

"I don't understand what you're talking about." Alfred tilted his head, and countless blade fragments surrounded him, shining like a god.

"Then it seems that we don't need to have compassion for you anymore." Fugel said: "Neither it is Black Flame nor you, can't start well and end well."

"You have never fulfilled your promise." Alfred said with a bad temper, "You haven't returned Gray's stuff."

-

"Aren't you worried about your companion?" Carnegie asked after the battle.

He was actually very surprised, except for the guy from 20 years ago, he has never met anyone in the world who can compete with him in swordsmanship without losing the slightest bit.

But this person in front of him, at a young age, can fight back without any confusion in an extremely fast confrontation, and always fight back crisply.

With this age and experience, it is impossible to have such combat experience.

"Very worried." Gray responded casually, "But I want to know why you suddenly attacked Teresi."

Carnegie took a breath and adjusted within a moment, "Do you need a reason to attack the pirates?"

His sword moves became sharper and sharper.

"Ah~ I don't think it's necessary." Gray recalled what Cyborg had said to him, "But Teresi was very sad. His respected master cheated him to death by cheating him badly."

"To shut up!"

"Okay." Gray readily agreed, and Griffin swung a sword flower in his hand. The black blade was wrapped in raging flames, and he repelled Carnegie half a step neatly.

He looked into the distance, and there was a faint streamer flashing by, and the inexplicable tacit understanding told him that Alfred was telling him to leave quickly.

Hope that guy doesn't lie to him.

Gray thought about it and decided to leave immediately.

"Is there anything you want to pass on to Tracy?"

"." Carnegie was silent, and after a while he swung his sword and attacked again.

Gray had a headache, and after swiping his sword to repel Carnegie again, he no longer wanted to fight, and turned around and left.

Carnegie followed closely behind, like a tail that could not be shaken off.

Gray glanced at the building on one side, slashed two swords, the building collapsed, and screams belonging to the Tianlong people came from inside.

Carnegie gritted his teeth and stopped his pursuit after thinking twice.

Gray returned to the rendezvous point, which was where they climbed up and settled down. Looking at the flames of Marie Gioia, even the sky was dyed red.

"Fred"

It hasn't come yet.

Gray fumbled for the hilt of the sword, standing there straight, something in his heart sank little by little as time went by.

Are you lying to me again?

"Grey, on the path you have chosen, whether you look back, forward, or sideways, I, Alfred, will be within reach of you."

con man
Just when Gray clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand and was about to go back and bring that guy back, Alfred rushed over from Mary Gioia's direction.

"Grey! Jump down!" He was followed by two five old stars.

Gray rushed towards Alfred, and at the same time as the two collided and fell towards the bottom of the red land, he drew his sword and swung a blow.

The black and red blow with a huge killing intent went straight to the two five old stars.

The Red Earth Continent soared into the sky, and it seemed like a long time to fall down.

Gray's flame ignited, buffering the two of them for a moment above the sea surface.

Alfred came out of the sea with Gray in his arms, and asked, "You didn't choke on the water, did you?"

Gray is still awake, just coughing violently a few times, "cough cough cough cough cough. It's okay, cough! It's okay."

"It's really troublesome, ability user."

"You didn't make me jump?" Gray angrily punched Alfred in the face.

"It's faster to jump." Alfred didn't dodge, and took it hard, "Is it like scratching an itch when an ability user is in the sea?"

"Do you really have to talk to me like that?"

"I'm not telling the truth?"

"I don't like to hear it."

"I don't care if you like it or not."

"Fred, are you really good at pissing me off all the time?"

"I made you angry? To be honest, you are still angry!"
