One Piece: The Eternal Flame

Time is the most cruel and merciless thing in the world.

It will only keep walking along the road, straight forward, will not favor anyone, and will not miss any passing scenery, no matter how beautiful and splendid it is.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough" was as violent as if he wanted to cough out his trachea. The illness of the great pirate Gol D. Roger finally arrived as scheduled.

They were sitting in the ship's doctor's medical room, the door was closed, and there were only five people with serious faces inside.

Ship doctor, captain Roger and his right and left hand Raleigh, Jabba, and Roger's wife Lou Jiu.

The ship doctor shook his head, depressed and unwilling, "I'm sorry, captain, with my ability."

He couldn't continue talking. As a ship's doctor, he couldn't even cure the captain's illness, so what qualifications did he have to continue to be a ship's doctor?

"Roger." Lu Jiu put her hands on Roger's broad and strong shoulders, even though she knew her husband's ending in advance, but at this moment, she felt that she still couldn't accept it as calmly as she imagined.

Roger patted her to comfort her, and said to the ship's doctor, "Don't blame yourself, I already knew this, so it doesn't matter."

"No, the captain will definitely find a way."

The ship doctor said eagerly: "We can go to Magnetic Drum Island, which is a big medical country, and all the doctors who are better than anyone else gather there. We can go there. Anyway, there will definitely be a way."

"Well, I really should go."

Roger smiled, "Anyway, I have to tell everyone about this, hahahaha, it's time for the last trip!"

He was always so open-minded, open-minded and straightforward, and he didn't even care about how sudden and unacceptable the news would be when it came out.

From the moment he rejected pure gold, he had been ready for this moment.

"You're really willful." Rayleigh also laughed, "But such a decision is just your style."

"Hahahahaha, brother, from the moment I went to sea, I decided to be honest with my fellow shipmates."

On the deck, Shanks and Bucky huddled in the corner with bitter faces, with a big wooden barrel in front of them to block them tightly.

The passing pirate saw the two of them and was about to ask, but saw them silence him in a panic.

"Yeah——" A five or six-year-old girl who looked a lot like Lu Jiu rushed over aggressively and bumped into the pirate's leg.

The latter immediately picked her up, kindly—yes, a pirate licking blood tried to make himself less scary, he smiled and said: "Ann, don't run so fast, if we fall down, we will all be killed by the captain."

"Where's brother?" An sat on the pirate's arm, his gaze suddenly raised, and he immediately saw Shanks and Bucky hiding in the corner of the ship's ladder, "Ah! Brother!"

Shanks and Bucky's faces darkened, and a thought suddenly appeared in their hearts: it's over.

The status of the two of them on the ship was originally super high. After all, they picked up the children who had been brought up on the ship.

But this status has declined precipitously since An was born.

I forgot to mention that Ann is the daughter of Captain Roger and Aunt Lou Jiu. She is a super lively and active child.

The two trainee crew members who are no longer in status have added a companionship to their current jobs, and because of this, the two are hiding here in a panic.

Shanks and Bucky also tried to resist.

They stood in front of Lei Li, and Bucky hugged Lei Li's thigh in tears, crying, "Senior Lei Li, Ann always pulls my nose and plays with my gemstones as marbles. Now I can't find many of them!"

"She snatched my Griffin, and wanted to paint on my face. Once, she threw my hat into the sea. I went fishing for a long time." Shanks hugged his western sword tightly, and looked at Rayleigh pitifully.

The latter just gave an indifferent oh, and taught them to give in to their sister and so on.

After finishing speaking, Lei Li immediately put on a smile and hugged Ann who ran over. The latter lay on Lei Li's shoulder and made a provocative grimace at the two of them.

She is!Therefore!meaning!of!
Of course, this little devil, An, also has her own natural enemies. For some reason, every time Ace comes over, she becomes particularly well-behaved.

He even uttered bold words that he would marry Ace when he grew up.

The latter was petrified by fright, and did not dare to come back for a long time afterwards.

"Brother, I finally found you!"

Ann has a nice smile, but for Shanks and Bucky, it's just a little scary.

Urgently needing help from others, maybe God heard the cries in the hearts of the two, Roger pushed open the cabin door and walked out, smiling: "Brothers! It's a banquet—"

It was originally a lively and happy banquet, but when everyone was drinking halfway, Roger suddenly laughed and said, "I have something to tell everyone."

Quiet around.

"We're about to start our last trip because I'm sick!"

Shanks couldn't remember what happened afterwards, he only felt a sharp humming sound in his brain, and the rest of Captain Roger's words were a little unclear.

The Roger Pirates left the New World.

The Whitebeard Pirates have now become the sole overlord of the new world.

Both Whitebeard and Ace know why Roger left.

Whitebeard said to the pirates standing on the deck: "Let's set off too."

"Oh, where are you going, Dad?"

"The Country of Peace."

-

In today's Wano country, Kozuki Sukiyaki is still in power.

After Kozuki Oden came back, he stood on the opposite side of his father. He wanted to start the country, and Sukiyaki was particularly opposed to the strategy of founding the country.

"I've worked hard today." Tianyue Shi took off the outer haori for Kozuki Oden, and said with a smile, "Is there any gain?"

"Ah, I finally conquered Kuri's daimyo." Oden smiled triumphantly, "He also expressed his support for Jianguo."

"Jiuli's name is Asura boy, right?" Tianyue had heard of this person before.

It is rumored that when he was a child, he was encouraged to turn the chaotic Kuri into the most prosperous and lively area in Wano Country, and he succeeded in the end.

Even after the story spread to the capital of flowers, Kozuki Sukiyaki made him a Kuri daimyo.

"Yeah, I didn't expect him..." Oden didn't know before that the time that prompted Asura to change happened to be the time when the Black Firework Pirates landed.

Ace's words changed Jiuli's fate, and the money he gave to Asura also became the capital for the latter's rapid rise.

"This world is really amazing." Oden stopped thinking about those things, and instead asked about homework, "Are Momanosuke and Hiyori both asleep?"

"Well, Teacher Shuangyue taught them swordsmanship during the day."

"Oh! Is it beef balls?"

"Yes, the children liked him very much."

"Is Mrs. Shi there?" Someone outside the door asked, "Is Yu Tian back?"

The voice of the visitor was a little anxious, "Someone from outside is coming by the beach!"

-

The people outside were the Whitebeard Pirates who said they were coming to Wano.

More than 20 years have passed since the last Wano country farewell.

Kozuki Oden took them to the place where he lived temporarily now, which was the mansion of Baiwu daimyo Shimoyue Yasushi's family.

It was the first time to see the unique customs of Wano country. With the acquiescence of the father, Marco and others went to visit together.

White Beard and Ace were sitting in the courtyard of the mansion, talking with Oden about the information outside.

Oden complained: "Sure enough, the Wano country should be established as soon as possible, but my father has always insisted on the policy of closing the country."

"Don't worry, just take your time."

"Well, I have made good progress now. The daimyos of Baiwu, Kuri, and Ringo are very supportive, but the most important thing is to change the thinking of the people of Wano."

Yu Tian said: "When everyone wants to start a country, my father will have no choice."

"Is there anything wrong with Wano recently?" Ace asked.

"Huh? Are you talking about Kaido and Heitan that might appear?" Oda said, "Hasn't Kaido been imprisoned in Advance City?"

The former Battle of the Valley of the Gods has not disappeared because of the change of history.

It still happened, but this time the Whitebeard Pirates were also involved.

Ace shook his head, "They did enter Advance City before, but I heard that Kaido was taken away by the World Government for some experiments, and then he escaped."

Wano Country's information was blocked, and it was already half a year later when Oden knew about the Battle of the Valley of the Gods.

"Understood, I will pay attention to it."

"By the way, we met Gray before, and he is not dead."

This is no different from a deep-sea bomb, and the bang made Mitafu's mind stop, "What, what?"

After Ace gritted his teeth and narrated, Oden's face became particularly ugly.

Whitebeard took a sip of his wine, and looked at the building next to him. There were two children hiding by the door, looking at it curiously.

"Is that your child?" Whitebeard asked.

"Oh, yes, Momanosuke and Hiyori." Mentioning the children, Oden's face softened a lot, and he waved his hand to invite them.

"Hi, hello, next, next is Kozuki Momonosuke."

"I'm Kozuki Hiyori, are you from outside?"

One is a little boy with his hands clutching his clothes, his face blushing, and the other is a cheerful and lively little girl with a sunny smile.

"I always feel that my personality is completely reversed." Ace touched his chin, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

He smiled and asked the two, "I said ~ do you want to go to sea with our pirate group?"

"Going to sea?" Hiyori's eyes lit up, "Father said that there are many, many islands out there, and there are architectural delicacies that are completely different from Wano Country."

Momonosuke also looked at Ace, but because of his shy personality, he didn't say anything.

White Beard frowned slightly. If he wanted to become the future general of Wano Country, he couldn't be so cowardly.

A few days later, the Whitebeard Pirates planned to leave.

White Beard looked at the two children hiding behind Yu Tian, ​​and said with a smile, "How long do you want to hide behind your father?"

"Hey! Pirate, watch your words."

"Don't be rude to Momonosuke-sama and Hiyori-sama!"

The grumpy Izo and Kin'emon immediately shouted.

"It's okay, it's okay." Oden wasn't angry at all, instead he touched the two children's heads with a smile, "Anyway, as long as I'm still alive, my children can hide behind me."

"Father!" Hiyori only felt happy and full of sense of security, she hugged her father's hand back and rubbed it affectionately.

But Momonosuke couldn't feel any joy besides being moved.

He knew that he would become the general of Wano country in the future.

Everyone told him that, he had an excellent father, he went out to become a pirate at a young age, and then returned to Wano country safely.

The father is very strong, and every day there are magnificent adventure stories to tell them, and everyone admires and believes in this man.

Momonosuke is naturally the same, he wants to be like his father more than anyone else.

"Father! Can I go to sea with them?" Momonosuke held his father's rough and wide palms with both hands.

Before Mi Tian could speak, the retainers were stunned.

"Your Majesty Momonosuke, this is not acceptable!"

"Your Highness, how old are you? You can't go to sea!"

Oden raised his hand to block the voices of the people behind him, he squatted down, and was at eye level with Momonosuke.

After staring at his son for a while, Mitian raised a smile, "Ah~ how should I put it, I went to sea when I was your age."

Mida went to sea at the age of seven, although Momonosuke is only five years old now, but it doesn't matter.

"I went to sea all those years ago, but I never cared about anyone's opinion!"

Oden pointed at himself and said loudly: "Momonosuke Kozuki, once you have made up your mind, even if everyone stops you, you still have to move forward without hesitation, that's what a samurai should do!"

"Yes! I will definitely become a qualified samurai." Momanosuke straightened his back, trying not to let himself cry.

After all, samurai don't shed tears, but why is my father crying now?

The Whitebeard Pirates left, taking away Wano's future general.

Of course, there are also Izo and Kikunojo who are vigilant about them like hedgehogs with fierce faces—these two people are afraid that Momonosuke will encounter any danger, so they also boarded the boat.

Everyone didn't have any opinions, but there was a heated discussion about the gender of the two in private.

I didn't expect it to be a man.

Speaking of two men, why are they more beautiful than women?

There is also that little guy who cried after being frightened and frightened, and needs to exercise well.

Ace didn't expect Yizang to board the boat like this this time, and even brought his younger brother with him.

What is extremely familiar is that Izo and Kikunojo behaved exactly the same as he did when they first boarded the boat.

It's just that after a long time, Dad conquered them with his personality charm.

From the vicious 'Whitebeard, please die' when we met before, to the kind 'Dad, Dad! ', it only took less than a month.

Really, it seems to have seen his own dark history.

Ace helplessly supported his forehead, but he was calculating in his heart when his precious brothers would be born.

When the time comes to trick you into boarding the boat, let them call you daddy too.

But by then, he won't be Luffy and Sabo's older brother.
Forget it, Luffy and Sabo didn't call his brother, it was Ace and Ace who called him.
