One Piece: The Eternal Flame

"How could you do this!" Kozuki Oden yelled in displeasure, his cheeks puffed up with anger.

Obviously he was the one who told the other party about the yellow mustard, but the other party found out the yellow mustard by himself while he was talking.

This way, you can renege on the bill!

Gray didn't understand why the kid was yelling at him, so he asked innocently, "What's wrong with me?"

"You...you just say whether you will take it with you or not! Or we will have a fight!" Kozuki Oden has a hot temper since he was a child, and he is very direct in speaking and doing things.

But in Gray's eyes, he was just a brash and talkative brat.

"You just want to go to sea, don't you?" he asked.

"Yup!"

"Then go to sea~" Gray leaned closer to the child's face and said with a smile, "I mean, you want to be my crew member."

"Didn't I mean that the next person can't come out... Hey? Hey hey!!!" Kozuki Oden seemed to have heard something unbelievable, and looked at Gray with wide eyes, his pupils were shocked, "What did you just say?!"

"It's a pity, he's actually deaf." Gray smacked his lips, and quickly comforted himself, "It's okay, there's Twain on board, so it's a good match."

"I'm not deaf!" Kozuki Oden finished retorting, but he still felt incredible after calming down a little.

He had encountered too many obstacles before, but it became so easy when he came to Gray, which made him unbelievable.

"You're not cheating, are you?" He showed a ferocious face, bared his teeth and said, "If you dare to cheat, I'll kill you!"

"Kill your own captain?" Gray rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then showed a fearless smile that Oden couldn't understand, "If you think you can replace me in the future, just try it."

"Aren... aren't you angry? What if the crew wants... to kill you?" Kozuki Oden asked in a daze.

He is only seven years old. As a child living in a closed country policy, he is good enough and bad enough. He wants to go abroad and see the outside world.

But he still couldn't understand Gray's words, taking in a person who might kill him in the future, and talking and laughing so easily and fearlessly.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gray stood up, stepped on the chair, and then raised his finger to the sun shining high in the sky, with a bright smile and full of momentum, "In such a beautiful present, who cares what will happen in the future!"

What... ah... what kind of person is this...

Kozuki Oden followed his line of sight to look at the sun in the sky, and Gray, whose whole body was covered with a layer of golden light under the sun's rays.

The wind blew his hair, and his black hair was flamboyant. His young face carried the enthusiasm and impulsiveness of a young man, and there were beating flames hidden deep in his eyes.

Fresh clothes angry horse, high-spirited.

Maybe the sun was too dazzling, or maybe it finally came true, "Uh...uh...uh..."

When he reacted, Kozuki Oden had already bit his lips tightly, and let out a fragmented cry. Tears flowed wantonly on his face.

"Hey! Cry, cry..."

"Master Mita is crying?!"

"That lawless Oden-sama actually cried?"

The onlookers had already surrounded the place, and everyone looked at Kozuki Oden who was crying miserably and had no image at all with a look of surprise.

Immediately afterwards, a man squeezed in from the crowd of onlookers. He had a neatly shaved purple cropped head, was extremely tall, and walked towards Gray with shackles in his hands.

"Long time no see, Gray." Zefa showed a light and friendly smile, which was really rare on that black face, at least the navy that squeezed in with him was very surprised.

Gray looked over, and after recognizing the person, he immediately showed his white teeth and laughed heartily, "Oh~ Zefa, long time no see!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his arms, about to give Zefa a warm hug as he walked over.

However, before he could hug him, with a "click", something was handcuffed on Gray's wrist - Hailoushi handcuffs.

Zefa patted Gray on the head, clasped another lock on his wrist, and said with a smile: "The captain of the Black Firework Pirates—Black Yan Gray, now you are formally arrested."

"Ha...hahahahahaha, you really are~" Gray was not too angry, but just turned his wrist to adjust his posture, and then said with a smile: "Why are you here, you don't come here specially, do you?"

"Together with Lieutenant General Hebrew, we were sent to escort Hailoushi." Zefa told Gray without hiding anything.

"Uncle Hebrew~" Gray said the name with some nostalgia. He grew up in the Naval Academy, and he is very familiar with the people and things in it.

As a navy, Cyborg naturally couldn't take care of him all the time. The other party was very busy and would only teach Gray when he came back, so most of the time, it was the navy in the naval academy who taught him.

Hebrew was one of them, one of his teachers for a long time.

"You can't arrest him!" Kozuki Oden, who was left out in the cold, stood in front of Zefa with a cold face, his swords had already been unsheathed, and although he was only seven years old, he was full of momentum, "He is the captain of my servant! I advise you to let him go immediately!"

He finally found a captain who was willing to take him out to sea, how could he be willing to watch him being taken away.

Zefa looked down at him, didn't take it too seriously, but frowned and said to Gray: "When do you want children to be crew members, play house?"

"Haha, I just joined today~" Gray shook his handcuffed wrist with a smile, and smiled at Oden: "As a test for joining the pirates, please rescue your own captain~"

"I will definitely save you!" Kozuki Oden yelled loudly, and rushed towards Zefa with a wave of both swords.

The latter did not evade, the free arm turned black with a metallic texture, and without even moving a footstep, it caught Kozuki Oden's slash.

"Is that all you can do?" Gray whistled, shook his head and said, "That's not enough."

"Look at me!" Kozuki Oden was stimulated by Gray, and the slash became more and more violent, and a black sword aura faintly appeared on the two swords.

Zefa didn't seem to expect that a seven-year-old child would have such an attack and speed, and his body that was originally standing still couldn't help but dodge.

This made Gray suffer. After all, he and Zefa are now connected because of the handcuffs, and they are standing close together. If Zefa moves too much, he will also move to that side.

Kozuki Oden didn't want Qian's attack, and he also needed to dodge it——Gray, who was suppressed by Kailoushi's handcuffs and had no strength, smiled wryly, "Well, if I knew it, I wouldn't play so wild..."
